Ableism is, by definition: "discrimination in favor of able-bodied people."

The jokes in the captions are just the same crude humor you'd see if you had the captions off. They are not discriminatory. They do not take away from the experience of watching the show for people who need captions.

I understand not liking VivziePop. There are things that I myself dislike about her writing and art. But you can't call ableism on a person and be wrong about the definition of the word. Again, what Vivzie did in the captions isn't ableism. Whether good or not, it's just the same crude humor in the show itself

So instead of calling ableism on the captions, maybe we can point out the lack of diverse body types, or some of the bad writing when it comes to female characters in favor of their male counterparts, or even the frankly rude "humor" surrounding fatphobia

The state of the subtitles on some of HB's episodes is honest to god unacceptable

Subtitles are a tool to aid those who are deaf or hard of hearing engage in media they enjoy, and Viv treats it like a crutch to add more bullshit jokes

The ableism (and if not that, the lack of awareness or critical thinking) is fucking stunning

I don't have to be to understand the concept of ablism, but yes, I am hard of hearing.

Even with the jokes in the captions, it's still entirely legible and doesn't skip out on any dialog. When a joke is displayed in the captions, there's nothing being spoken. It's not taking away from the experience of people who happen to need captions

I actually watched through the "Oops" episode again, and these are the only times jokes in the captions are being made, again while no dialog was being spoken

Any other times were just goofy noise descriptions.

The captions are entirely legible and don't leave out even a single word of the dialog in the episode. Ya'll are so quick to call ableism on something that isn't ableism.

It'd be ableism if the captions were obstructed in a way that made them inaccurate to the dialog. Helluva boss doesn't do that at any point.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

shit people need to hear about COD:

Ghost isn’t some broken uwu boy. Infantilising assault victims is demeaning and disrespectful

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, König is extremely overrated for a character that only appears as a playable operator and not as anything in the campaign

You’re allowed to ship whoever you want, it’s a free world, but throwing a tantrum when people say they don’t ship GhostSoap or Korangi, and calling them homophobic (I’ve seen this too many times at this point) is disgusting and you’re essentially stereotyping us LGBTQ individuals as aggressive and pushy when it comes to queer ships. The characters of Ghost and Soap are canonically coded to be like brothers, and you need to stop thinking that a headcannon is the same as real cannon

Stop replacing Gaz with König, it’s giving ✨racism✨

Alex, König, Farah, Alejandro, Rudy and Horangi are not part of TF141, stop including them in it?????

König and Ghost are canonically enemies and wouldn’t have each other on speed dial just tag your fics as OOC at this point

the entirety of the Call of Duty franchise was coded for straight white “alpha male” boys who live in their mothers basements, stop acting like it’s anything more than that. You won’t find the representation you’re looking for in it and honestly with the way it’s headed at the moment, I don’t think you ever will

we can tell if you’ve never played the games based on how you write the fics. You don’t have to be a game fan or player, but at least do your research on the characters you’re writing about before you hit “post”

Makarov and Graves are terrible people and shouldn’t be idolised. Before you tag me with your “let people do what they want” let me remind you that Graves is canonically racist. @mockerycrow made a good post about why Makarov is a shit person and I recommend you read it

All of the characters have their flaws. Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Price, they all have done bad things. Price is known to commit war crimes if it means getting the mission done

König having social anxiety doesn’t mean he’s a broken husk. You can function completely fine with the disorder if you can find a way to distance yourself from who you are as a person. Say, like, constantly wearing a mask? I promise you that the Austrian soldier wouldn’t be a sobbing mess because he got looked at funny

Also, he is only obsessed over because of his mask and the weird obsession people on this app have with infantilising people with trauma and mental illnesses (see first paragraph regarding Ghost)

The way some of the fans obsess over the actors is uncomfortable and genuinely creepy. It’s like this generation thinks that anything behind a screen isn’t real and can’t feel anything. They’re people who act. They’re not the characters you play.

feel free to add more to this, I’m tired and sick and wanted to rant

notes:

don’t attack me with the “yeah but not me” shit. Obviously I don’t mean everyone.

this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the games the way you want, it just means don’t fucking police it and gatekeep it and expect everyone to accept your interpretation of it

He also sits on roller-coasters like he does chairs

Ever since I found out L liked going to amusement parks in his free time I keep imagining him riding a rollercoaster with that deadpan frog expression of his like o_o

Every single one of my mutuals.

Do you ever become mutuals with someone you share an intense interest with and it becomes this limbo of "I want to be your friend SO fucking bad but I'll eat a shoe before dm-ing first"

[boxofgasoline]

friendly reminder

you are not a burden

your illness or condition is not and never will be your fault

you are worthy of love, kindness, compassion, patience and understanding

you are extremely important

Waitttt can we request your oc’s x reader fics🫣🫣

Anon….i’m gripping onto your shoulders right now. My eyes are looking directly into yours.

Yes. PJEHEHS yes!!! You totally can! I’d be so thrilled to write them !!

And I am being very very normal about this ask.

Just fyi.

[boxofgasoline]

Of course we're gonna stick with it! You write beautiful stories for us, with plots that make sense, and chapters that provoke emotion!(for me at least) I can't tell you how many days so far have been brightened just because I see a notification from your acc. You're a wonderful writer and a very cool person!

It’s crazy to say that I have time for drabbles, but not time for my own fic. It’s interesting to know that I somehow got motivated to do different things, but not the fic that got me out there for a moment. The next chapter is just a large draft, unfinished, full of broken English mess ups, but it exists.

It’s not perfect, but it’s there. I’ll get the time for it real soon, but I’m super happy to say that it’s there. And I’m super super happy that those who love it still stick with me this far and enjoy my other work as well. That’s more than what I couldve ever asked for 💖
