I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.

it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"

plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.

anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

1. I really just don’t like how you shit on Chloe in your Au considering that she is technically the Main character now because of her having the ladybug earrings.

2. As for unlikable characters exist. Yeah they do but they usually don’t have a really good back story.

Thomas give her a sad backstory, took that away and made her worse ??? It makes no sense. Especially if it was supposed to be a unlikable character. her backstory isn’t an excuse for her actions but yall hate her for the actions and at the same time don’t want her to change.

(Not only that but he ended replacing her with a very boring and rushed character like Zoé.)

Basically what I’m saying it’s just weird for yall to hate a character that much.

I think it's really weird for y'all to be so defensive of a fictional person, yet here we are.

Perhaps you were mislead because her "hero" form was the title of the AU, but uh, Scarlet Lady was never about Chloe. That's why she didn't, like, grow or anything and why we left her several times to focus on Adrien and Marinette. Having the Ladybug Earrings does not automatically make someone the main character, she's the tritagonist at best. And canonically, she's just a side character with too much screen time.

But even if she was the main character, so what? Scarlet Lady's tone is comical, it was never going to go deep (except in the Finale, kinda) and Chloe was never going to get the 5 Hour Youtube Essay Deep Cut in Comic Form about the Wonderful Person She Had the Potential to Become that viewers like you seem to be craving so badly.

And we fundamentally disagree about Chloe's backstory. It's not a good backstory, it's pretty basic, not even entirely unique to Chloe in the very story it's stuck in, and removing it changes nothing about her or her personality and motivations in the long run. It's used as a weak excuse that's only brought up at random to the point where even canon doesn't buy it anymore.

Though I'm not sure why you think that unlikeable characters can't have sympathetic backstories, the point is usually that despite going through the worst and despite the fact that it's entirely possible if things were different for them that the character could've been someone entirely different (and therefore "likeable"), none of those things erase the things they've done or make them more likeable. It just makes them kinda sad on top of it.

But that doesn't really apply to Chloe since taking out her garbage birth giver still leaves her with Andre who did a good job ruining her all on his own.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but to wrap it up, sorry you don't like how I do things around here, no one's keeping you here if you don't wanna be faced with it or whatever.

once you realise when most people say 'trans' they don't actually mean trans men or mascs and just mean trans women or fems it's incredibly hard to not see it. or sometimes 'trans' things that are nonspecific get turned into women & fem only things

similarly i see a lot of trans women say 'trans' and mean 'trans women' and also assume trans spaces are just for them, contributing to the aforementioned problem of trans spaces getting turned into [trans] women exclusive spaces

just a bit sad innit

If even acknowledging antisemitism within your community spaces is going to "distract from the cause," maybe that's because the foundation of your beliefs comes down to antisemitism. What you're doing is telling on yourself.

How come you guys decided to steer away from an electro swing soundtrack for Lackadaisy? I love electro swing but I'm sure whatever's cooking is going to be fantastic!

Rocky was getting pretty out of breath with the wubdub and beat drops. Doing all of those by mouth is harsh on the lungs, donchya know?

Super classist to suggest eating beans instead of meat btw. Not at all classist to suggest buying genuine leather though, because genuine leather is super cheap and really easy for everyone to get it secondhand.

Tired of people applying concepts of gender and gender hierarchy specifically made for cis people to trans people and thinking we're the problem when we point out that it doesn't fit.

So, y'all know Steph slapped Bruce, but do y'all know what happens afterward? How Steph and Bruce reacts?

Because, I do, and it's some good shit.

When Steph slaps Bruce, she immediately panics, which makes sense. Bruce is an adult man, and those aren't known for their great reactions to being confronted, and she is a teenage girl. He is also an authority figure in her life. (Sidenotes: yes, this is the first official time they meet again after Bruce "died". He was complementing her vigilante work when she slapped him.)

Instead of going after her (which would scare her more), Bruce waits until later to find her again to discuss. She is now wearing her Batgirl's suit, so it is at least a couple of hours since the slap. Bruce gave her time to think about what she wants to say to him. And now, it is time for him to listen.

And listen he does, as he barely speaks and doesn't interrupt her. Then, once she's done, he is smiling, proud of her for standing up against him. The few words he says imply that he wants her to do whatever she wants, he is not the boss of her.

Bruce: Is this what you really want?

Steph: Yes.

Bruce: Then say it.

Steph: I want to be Batgirl.

Bruce: It is uniquely hers now, isn't it?

Alfred: Indeed, sir.
