#Anti ck

[msfbgraves]

It's so wild to me on a CK rewatch that the writers gave Daniel a son with insane psychological insight who knew:

-His sister was a wanted child and he was an accident;

-His parents demonstrably favoured his sister over him (he's not in the family photos beside their bed for chrissake)

-His parents don't care he knows as he never gets a reaction when he points this out to their face, not even one of reassurance (seriously the heart next to his baby photos in the scrapbook says "gotta love me" - a duty then, not a joy)

-Knew his father has a violent streak he hides even from himself;

-Knew his attention is entirely conditional: you either do what he likes (eating or karate), or he'll ignore you completely unless you act out (case in point: he replaced him with some random kid he moved into the house who did do karate)

-Had "friends" whose love was also entirely conditional, but was so terrified of being alone he was willing to be a bully rather than friendless

-Resented all of this so much he has stopped trying to work for anything, what's the point

-"Anthony you make everything worse"

-Had both an eating disorder and a screen addiction about this at like 12 ("Anthony, stop drinking the butter!")

And then CK went: "Whatever, we only created this kid to show Daniel is a loser who can't parent a Real Man" and promptly forgot about him for the rest of the show

Anthony LaRusso may not be an entirely fun person, but neither is Tory but at least we as the audience get to comiserate with her

The only one we can see give Anthony any positive attention before S5 is his grandma

I bet you Lucille LaRusso is the tech savviest grandma in her whole neighbourhood because she will have shown an interest in him and now she knows how to hack the smartfridges of people she hates

Will someone please make some actual time for this boy....! Even if Daniel was consumed with mad worry and grief over Miyagi right when Anthony was born we've seen Amanda spend more time with Tory than with him and that's his mother!

Yes, he's just some gremlin but under these circumstances, who wouldn't be??

How the whole Grishaverse series was written

[vilvianthedepressed]

JAMES POTTER'S REDEMPTION???

Scrolling through Tiktok and the algorithm decided to give me a video about "the prank". And in the comment section, I see Marauders fan trying to defend the Marauders. It was okay, until I see them say

"James saving Snape's life is his redemption?"

I mean, EXCUSE ME???

You say 'saving his life', as in James Potter cleaning up his own mess. Said mess being HIM and his gang baited Severus Snape into the same room with a literal werewolf that could kill him???

And by realising how stupid it is, by pulling Snape out of the situation that HE created, he REDEEMED for pushing Snape into it in the first place?

Oh wow? Is that what redemption means now?

And in a way, it's not similar to "Saving his life" as Dumbledore nobly put it. James Potter knew how dangerous Remus Lupin was, and yes, even if he saved Snape in the end, he still owed Snape more than an apology, for all the things he had done.

Furthermore, they also said "Remus was too scare to mention it" or "He was traumatise too", "He regretted it later", etc.

Okay, let just assume that he remembered, let assume that at the time, he was too scare of being expell to face Snape.

How about in Harry's third year? How about that?

Did he, canonically, apologise? Or did he just take Snape's potion, say a thank, and then act all friendly?

There is just so many things wrong, and the ways they were defended ridiculously underwhelmed the trauma and the risk they had put a schoolmate through, as well as how light they treated it later.

And don't even get me started on that blasted fanfiction that they all prayed to everynight. It's blasphemed.

✨STUNNING✨

[sleepyicon]

i’ve come to the conclusion that tumblr is the only sensible place to interact with the ck fandom

[l0serg1rls]

cobra kai writers you are going to hell. it’s already bad enough that hayden loser ass dismissed it and said that it wasn’t sexual assault (it is)

the fact that hayden’s grown ass had to even be told what sa is, is fucking insane. that man is literally getting his ass beat on reddit, in the comments and over 200 quotes on that post on twt.

like was there little to NO communication in that writers room? like how do you unintentionally write a sexual assault scene and then gaslight fans when they’re strictly telling you that’s what it is. like you WROTE IT THAT WAYYY?!

if they wanted to make it look like robby made a mistake. why have him drunk? why was the dialogue also weird? why make robby have multiple of that rum and coke drink? why have him say he didn’t remember shit when he woke up?

just so fucking stupid bro i cant.

and there’s fucking edits of zara and robby, but losers aren’t taking is seriously and i saw this coming from a literal mile away. mind you, it’s MEN saying this. (see screenshots below)

i feel sick to my stomach. fuck every single person defending this absolute bullshit. fuck zara malik, fuck the writers.

reason 16829 why having women in the writers room or writers that have common sense and actually care about the characters need to happen on this show. i cant bruh.

edit: i’ve been informed that 3 women had wrote the script and one woman was present in directing that episode.. all i can say is what is going on. and what type of people do they have in that fucking writers room? all they all just ignorant and dumb as hell? like i have no words at this point.

[lainalit]

female IC Stans when they hear Vivaldi, Paganini, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart etc.

Men playing a classic instrument is major ick alert, am I right girlies? 🤢🤢🤢🤢

[venusbyline]

HEY, IF YOU'RE A HOTD STAN, PLEASE READ THIS POST.

the @/annwrites account wrote fics about the hotd show/books characters and she was constantly suffering a lot of anon harassment/hate due to her fics about Jace.

her blog appears to have been deactivated or taken down. if you know anything about what happened to her, please let me know as soon as possible! we're very worried about her and i hope she's well.

[percable]

Me rn. Because I’m about to write a LONG ass fic about keenry actually learning about each others sexual trauma. Because if they’re gonna add Z*ra literally sexually assaulting Robby, then it SHOULD be talked about. Not to mention all of Tory’s past with men treating her like an object and being constantly sexually harassed/ groped. Fuck the ck writers. If they won’t address it, then I will.

[fenrysmoonbeamswife]

Between Mindf*ck, Quicksilver, ACOTAR, Haunting Adeline and more I'm sure there's something truly terrifying about the book community, who let's face it with these books are mostly women, blatantly ignoring, forgetting about or even romanticizing r*pe or r*pe-y love interests

[jasongracestannr]

Sooo is no one gonna talk about how robby was literally assaulted ?? They better talk about this in part 3 istg.

Also, why did no question why the team wasn't with robby ? And how did no one notice he was drunk ?? how didn't sam notice ? He told her that he was gonna probably drink. i don't understand why didn't she check on him ? 🌚

Their probably going to brush past this in part 3, and i don't like how it seemed like robby cheated when again he was assaulted ?

[msfbgraves]

From the creators of "Daniel was the real bully all along", aka "Cobra Kai"...

We have Ralphie hinting at a "Daniel second guesses Miyagi-Do, aka Miyagi-Do has always been evil".

Look, Ralphie loves hanging out with Billy for these promos and I love seeing them together because they deserve to have a good time really they do. Yuji, Billy and Ralphie deserve to enjoy themselves because they have brought their absolute A games to the show and it shows and I love them for it.

But ffs, creators. I know you felt so called out by a film about a sweet boy teaching us that bullying is evil and that fighting can be a form of self-expression and helping others rather than a pissing contest in which people get killed you had to make a whole show about why bullies are cool actually, absent fathers are dope and kindness doesn't exist because there is no kindness without an ulterior, sinister motive. Because you haven't been kind a single day in your life and even though some part of your conscience has survived for long enough to understand that there is something wrong with that, making you feel bad, you have spent over six years of your life propping up your ego instead. It had to be somebody else's fault. It had to be Daniel's fault. It has to be Miyagi's fault No way that can't have been secretly evil, and we're going to expose it! Because repeatedly saving someone's life, as Miyagi has done for Daniel, can't not be sus, right? Trying to beat someone to death, now, that is upfront manly behaviour. Saying like it is. All this stealthy defense stuff? There's gotta be something going on there, right? They should have killed Daniel and been on their way in film 1, then the Cobras could have had some sympathising manpain and gotten laid after beating up more people for existing. That is how you live a good life! But no, so now we have to right the wrongs perpetuated by films that tell you that a kind handyman can help you beat up a rich bully while also understanding that this bully was probably a product of his environment he was too young to understand was harmful. Can't have that! That would make them wrong! And they can't be wrong, see? They wrote a story too! So there! Pussies!

My only hope is that Ralph has directed an episode of this first bunch and has always done his best to keep infusing this garbage fire with kindness. I know Daniel can be a little saintly, but his heart, that's all Ralph. And the love between Billy and Ralph is also incredibly sincere. So I know they'll do their best with it, and Ralph acts in between lines anyway. But the underlying message since season three at the lastest has been so terribly unkind. In a show about manhood, apparently, they keep celebrating

-Not taking responsibility

-Solving every problem with violence

-Equating kindness with either weakness or deceit

And that is how recognise that these are boys who are never going to grow up. Taking responsibility, practicing restraint and choosing to be kind because you understand basic empathy is how you become an adult. That is what the karate kid franchise taught! The value of hard work, taking responsibility, protecting others and choosing kindness wherever possible. To have this so called homage literally trying to undermine that message at every turn, is feeling like some kind of moral injury.

I will always be grateful to the series for introducing me to these characters. But I am so sick of middle aged men taking over a beloved series about what it takes for men to be decent, be it Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who or The Karate Kid, and basically raping it to death in the guise of appreciation.

[floofeeeeee]

Wow ok wow um IM SORRY BUT I JUST FOUND AN ART POST THAT HAD LINH X TAM AND IM HORRIFIED AND GUESS WHO REBLOGGED IT ??? IM SO UPSET RIGHT NOW CUZ THERE ART IS REALLY COOL BUT LIKE F*CK PROSHITERS RIGHT???

[queenbonniebennett]

You can’t convince me Chris didn’t have a crush on Kat. That boy was in awe 🥰

Peep at the end when he waited for her and helped her down the stairs. (If you blink you’ll miss it. Lol such a gentleman)

First 2 clips are from TikTok. The last clip i got from YT

[sleepyicon]

can i even call cobra kai my comfort show anymore bc of how they handled and continue to handle the SA situation? ☹️

[l0serg1rls]

y’all i cant even begin to express my disgust with the way people are talking about zara sexually assaulting robby.

‘robby fumbled’ why would he chose the girl that sa him over his girlfriend.. he doesn’t even KNOW zara bro?

‘i can’t believe he would chose zara over tory?’. this is giving ‘we’re cobra kai fans, we don’t watch our own show!!’

there’s a whole page on tiktok dedicated to robby and zara, edits of them on youtube/ tiktok? we’ve absolutely lost the fucking plot.

this why i hate cobra kai fanboys, cs this bullshit has them comparing looks between the actresses. rayna is absolutely beautiful and so is peyton.

they’ve been absolutely disgusting with the way i’ve seen them talk about peytons looks. the fandom truly disgusts me to the fucking core.

and that’s why i cant wait until cobra kai ends so those losers just fuck off elsewhere.. cs they irk a deep DEEP part of my soul.
