I am so sick and tired of seeing all these “I know biden is bad, I know biden has done some bad things but vote for biden because trump will destroy our democracy” posts bc a) clearly our democracy is a sham and b) STOP DEFENDING BIDEN, STOP DOWNPLAYING WHAT HE HAS DONE! you do not need to, nor should you, defend biden to any degree. you can say that we cannot let trump win without that other bullshit. biden is pure evil, he is scum. and part of what makes him so horrendous and disturbing is the charade he puts on like he’s the good guy and trump is the evil, the bad to his good. quite literally the only thing that he has going for him is that his opponent is somehow even worse than him. that his opponent has no pretense of even trying to act like he doesn’t want to fully be a dictator. stop fucking defending biden. stop fucking downplaying all the horrendous, despicable, evil things he has done and is continuing to do. he is fully funding and supporting and enabling a genocide. it helps no one.

and if/when biden loses, he only has himself to blame.

ideally we would all rally behind a third party candidate and the electoral college wouldn’t exist. ideally these wouldn’t be our “choices”. idfk what to do because trump cannot win but how can any of us in good conscience vote for biden’s evil, fascistic, decrepit ass ??

what makes biden so different from or better than trump? nothing!!

- he is unconditionally supporting netanyahu and his genocide of Palestinians

- democrats have done nothing to protect nor help us as roe v. wade was overturned, we still have student loan debt, the cost of living is unaffordable and the minimum wage remains unchanged, biden has increased police presence and funding for police (more so than in 2020, despite the eruption of BLM protests and the murder of George Floyd and his promise to George Floyd’s family that he wouldn’t let his murder become just another number, another hashtag), and so. much. more.

- biden is building off of trump’s policies - specifically and most recently, biden has just announced an executive order to deny asylum requests. the increase in police funding and the further militarization of police was also built off of trump’s policies

the u.s. is an evil sham of a country.

I always think it’s very interesting that Aileen Wuornos is consistently said to be one of the most notorious serial killers in history, despite the fact that if she was male, her victim count and murder method would barely be considered notable nevermind one of the worst.

She killed 7 Johns by shooting them in the head, yet she gets put on lists with men who raped, tortured, and killed 30+ people.

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

strahm is so compelling to me because he’s still a hero while being such a bad person in so many ways that people you just meet in your day to day life are bad people. he is not a serial killer he’s not ontologically evil he doesn’t scam dying people out of their life savings. but he is an asshole for no reason other than to make others feel stupid he’s misogynistic he’s motivated by neurotic obsession and ego he’s dismissive etc etc but he’s still so human and we as the audience get to see him reduced down to base human terror and smallness multiple times!! we get to see the construction and performance of his personality get stripped away to expose someone who’s just a man desperate to survive in spite of his circumstances and that makes the viewer want to root for him!! regardless of his motivations and day-to-day cruelty he’s just a man who wants to survive and to protect others!! and then he dies whimpering without learning ANYTHING!!!!!

"Why am I still doing this?"

"Don't you get it?"

"This is all just a show... and we're playing parts~"

I honestly disagree with the idea that Padmé “chose” Anakin because she’s just as unhinged as him or even the take that they’re both “toxic” and that’s why they work, which isn’t at all true.

Like of course, I know she is as unhinged and impulsive as him, and it’s true that’s part of what makes them “compatible” but that’s not why she fell in love with him. It’s not their flaws within themselves that drew themselves to each other, it was actually their good traits, such as: compassion, passion, deep love, sympathy, understanding, free spirit, joy, kindness, and much more that led to them both falling in love. They saw the “goodness” they both so strongly harboured, and held such strength within their characters. That’s what initially attracted the other to them.

So I think it’s kind of a downer to see some of us make up the excuse that Padmé was just “crazy” to have chosen Anakin. Padmé doesn’t have to be “mentally insane” to want and desire Anakin, when in reality, she simply loves the person he is, admires him for the man he has become, and she’s 100% valid to do so. We as a fandom, don’t need to make up excuses or justifications for her loving him. The narrative already sets it up to simply be that way, without painting the ‘made up’ subtext that Padmé is ‘crazy’ for doing so. And we can simply understand why. Anakin is an amazing person despite what happens in the end, and Padmé herself says she loves him for all he is even WITH those flaws.

watching jjk get gradually worse in writing quality and character treatment is like reliving how i felt ten years ago in glee fandom. waiting. hoping. investing so much into it that i kept blindly hoping it would get better whilst i lamented on my tumblr. hopefully much like glee season six at some point gege will go off the rails and start fucking around and having the most fun of his life

I think what bothers me about a lot of intracommunitty trans discourse is the assumption - sometimes unspoken, sometimes directly stated - that everyone's experiences with gender are exactly the same, and therefore if something upsets you then it's Evil whereas if it doesn't upset you it's Harmless

which especially annoys me given that the whole point of all of this is that gender is something fundamentally arbitrary and subjective and we're all going to have different experiences and feelings with it

i love when i finish consuming the most tragic gut-wrenching and truly devestating media and i go look at fandom posts and they're all batshit

[bitteropinions]

I ain't gonna say it , but I will. Immediately, the ones that had his back -had his back almost immediately from the jump, the ones that wanted to, but didn't; make's sense. I highly doubt they meant it in a culture sense, but it most definitely showed when my sisters and I watched it. Especially coupled with small movements and other scenes when taken into viewpoint. However, everything is entirely new still so I will make a more in-depth post when the view rate seems more appropriate to release spoilers, but yeah, I have a lot to say concerning the aiding in this flim.

"jerza would have 1 kid" "jerza would have 3 kids" WRONG!!!!

jerza would adopt 15 fucking cats and unironically call them "fur babies"

i really hope that when alexis is introduced she’s introduced in a very. neutral manner

i don’t want her to be this cliche villainous that causes conflict between sam and darlin

alexis has been avoiding sam for 15+ years after she turned him. she doesn’t want conflict with him it seems

i lowkey hope that alexis has a small ‘talk’ with darlin. maybe just asking if sam is happy or smth like that. i just don’t want her to be a two dimensional villain when erik has clearly shown he likes to deal with his characters in shades ya know (example:vega)
