#It's all about police brutality

[stillboredbuttrying]

This is a major character trait (especially in the sense of why a particular system would want creatures that feed on pain to create pain rather than use the one already there) in the Market of Monster serie by Rebecca Schaeffer. The first book is Not even bones. It also has a very good webtoon if you prefer that format.

Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

its funny seeing people still insist that kamala had it in the bag when anyone with a brain is aware that she and the democrats ran a dogshit campaign. like utter shit. embarassingly bad.

OP: Check out. The fully-sexual charged cinematic movement design.

Cnetizens: How did the director come up with the idea to have him kneel on a playing card, adding so much aesthetic energy, is that some kind of genius?

idk what's worse - a show where the themes are half-assed and not addressed seriously from the beginning, or a show where it first has a strong grasp of the message it wants to spread but then loses it later on and actively goes against that very message.

Blaming Silco for Felicia’s death imo is more of an underline as to why Vander was a very flawed character/revolutionary leader and not why Silco was inherently evil. Everyone showed up to fight, where it seems like Vander was the sole survivor and everyone else was shot/ran. That is the reality of resistance, you don’t know going in when the switch is going to flip and when shots get fired. Silco didn’t shoot Felicia and Connol. Enforcers did. Vi and Vander both say verbatim that they were killed by enforcers, I know that one scene implies Silco feels guilty and Vander blamed him for escalating by tossing a Molotov cocktail, but I need you all to be so for real with yourselves about how shooting a bridge full of protestors is also an extreme retaliation and sit with why blaming Silco or Vander, and them blaming eachother/themselves, is wrong. Why feeling guilty and personal responsibility for a violent system comfortable with executing civilians in the street cant really rest on either of their shoulders. And that blaming Slco for their deaths is very centrist lib of you and I won’t stand for it.

I don't think Jayce and Viktor literally died. They were kind of pulled into another dimension/astral plane/whatever you call it. We see older Viktor, and while it could be another Viktor, I think it would be more meaningful if it was our Viktor, finally free from the arcane, going through the universe with Jayce, fixing timelines together. Kind of like a cosmic mission.

something so sickening about how people were dragging mel through the mud in season 1 when the worst she did was manipulating jayce into joining the council and gaining more political influence as a councilor herself but the minute people criticize caitlyn for her immediate embrace of militaristic rule (and biochemical war crimes?? hello??) and accurately call out the nature of the privileged to fall back into fascism and prejudice at the slightest hardship, you all suddenly want to engage with her complexity as a character with "intellectual interest" and an "appreciation for morally grey characters in fiction", and acknowledge the effects of grief on mental health.... absolutely insane behavior

[bumblydumbly]

Crazy how people buy into the ‘Vander and Vi hero, Silco and Jinx villain’ thing like the writers didnt try so hard to tell you its not even close to being that simple

[anger-and-red-flames]

Me: throw this war criminal fascist character to the gulag where they gotta produce items like school books to improve the material conditions of the people she oppressed

Arcane fans: actually you need to be thrown into the gulag!!!!

Other Arcane fans: I hope a billionaire steals your work to train the dream-crushing-machine!!!!

Me: yeah you surely sound like the kind of person to think there is nothing wrong with arcanes caitvi

[nonbinoclard]

in the tags of that fem harry boobs post someone joked about tugging kim's ponytail and that sparked an idea for a funny comic, but the more i thought about it the less funny it became

[alienfailboy]

it's really crazy that people don't know that their favorite shows are propaganda

like i am a law and order svu enjoyer and i have watched every inch of criminal minds but you all can see that the cops are made to be likable and they're not actually like that. right?

[venomvalley]

u cant praise arcane for being full of political/class commentary and how well those ideals are portrayed but then when people criticize something you enjoy about the show all of a sudden say "no THAT specific thing wasnt political" to justify it being bad... u cant have it both ways

[lakesbian]

i'm just saying shit but i think if you swapped sophia out with madison (i.e made madison the one secretly doing police brutality) it would make literally everything wildbow was trying to say about police brutality using sophia better

sanremo music video has dealt me 40pts psychic damage so now every time i listen to sanremo (which i love, which is a banger, which goes so hard, which is so vibey) i get hit over the head with "i can no longer hide it. and i hope i can give courage to others" . like why'd he do that .

Massive protest in Buenos Aires against severe budget cuts for free public universities. People sing "And now you see, and now you see, those who don't jump voted for Milei".

[cacklingskeleton]

the whole "snarky character who craves violence" archetype becomes way more insidious if that character is a cop
