#This is as dumb as the argument

[enixamyram]

I truly do not get the "Angel sexually harassed Husk!!! He's awful and it's gross the writers never addressed it!!!" mindset some of the anti's have. Especially when the show very much did address it very clearly in a way that I, personally, believe was very well done:

"Maybe I'd treat you better if you were real, and not some bullshit version of yourself. Always pushin' my boundaries."

Husk openly calls Angel is a jerk for the way he treated him. He (and the writers) make it very clear that Angel's constant sexual advances bothered him. And this isn't a revelation moment either since it's obvious during every moment prior that Husk doesn't like the way Angel behaves with him, even if he puts up with it. He physically expresses his discomfort and dislike for it each time and you'd have to be blind to miss it.

People like myself may find a line of Angel's to be funny, but it's the same way we find other lines funny. (Like Val's: "Not off camera you're not!") As in, it was amusing the way the line was said. But that doesn't mean we're ignoring or missing the seriousness behind the issue in reality. (I mean, some people might be, but in general I think most of the audience is not like this.)

More importantly, all of this is literal Character Development. In all further episodes, Angel stops acting this way with Husk entirely. And only after he stops acting this way, is when Husk and him start to genuinely get on as friends.

I've seen some people complain that Angel never officially apologised for his actions. And yes, while we don't seen an on screen "I'm sorry for what I did to you", it's very clear that there has been something based off of the very next shot of them:

Even if he hasn't said those exact words, Loser Baby was an entire song about how they understand where each other is coming from, why they act how they do and how they can now change that by leaning on each other for support instead. Loser Baby is, in its own kind of subtle way, an apology between them. Just because we're not spoon fed scenes doesn't mean they didn't happen off screen.

Anyway. You don't have to like the ship. But can we stop trying to find problematic reasons why no one else should like them either and just grow up and say it's personally not your thing?

"I HC that Viktor beats Jayce with his cane in arguments" good hc ngl I laugh everytime I think abt this,

but consider: Jayvik don't ever gets in arguments, not because they are the "perfect couple", its bc everytime Viktor gets mad or upset Jayce immediately says sorry.

HE DOES IT A LOT IN THE SHOW THIS MAN WONT STAND UP FOR HIMSELF IN ANY MOMENT. He sees his man is mad at him and he IMMEDIATELY reconsiders every choice he made, Viktor says, he's doing.

Also Viktor takes advantage of this bc he is a asshole (In a non-toxic way)

"Why would Padme choose Anakin when Obi-wan was right there" Shut Up Maybe the fact that Padme did choose Anakin and agreed to marry him after a week should tell you a wee bit more about what type of person Padme is

I've seen a few posts about women and pants now and many of them are very good, and not to nitpick those posts or downplay religious sexism or anything, but I have to emphasise:

Somebody who DOESN'T live in a controlling religious country/cult/family is also affected by sexism. We all know that, right? Secular parts of the first world also have opinions about how women dress, including when it comes to trousers, especially in childhood and in institutions like schools and the workplace

Me and many people my age (20s) remember being forced into skirts, punished and shamed by parents & teachers & peers & possibly then bosses about what we wear not being feminine enough, and it wasn't by deeply religious sects. Many updates to dress codes are very new and sexist views are still in place in many institutions. Normalised societal misogyny wants women (and people they want to treat as women) to dress femininely, down to what KIND of pants they're allowed to wear (compare a pink top and jeggings to mens jeans and tell me these two women are treated the same. Hating women in pantsuits is still a sexist office joke today, and even those outfits are feminine compared to male suits, which raise eyebrows when worn by women). The women I know who wear trousers regularly are literally otherwise feminine, and all wear dresses to events.

I know trousers have become much more normalised over the past few decades in secular society (yay!! the result of many many years of effort and lawbreaking) but let's not be absolute when we talk about the pants concept lol. Especially within a larger conversation about female/transmasc/intersex/transfem masculinity and social perceptions, especially in an age of rising fascism

“you cant criticize booktok it’s a perfectly valid form of reading and you just dont think romance is a respectable genre and theres nothing wrong with reading pulp for fun” Okay well im not criticizing the people and saying theyre morally bad im criticizing the books. Because theyre bad and badly written, they’re bad art. What so now we cant criticize marvel movies because a lot of people watch and enjoy them? we’re not allowed to ACKNOWLEDGE that these books are stupid and dogshit, because of WOKE?????

[maladaptivewriting]

i think it’s funny when people get up in arms about someone shipping two men because they think it’s cause the person “hates women”

like just on a personal level, irl, i hate men. i believe they should start off in jail and work their way out.

"Why should you have retired items just because you want them?"

what does this mean.

we're all playing a browser based dragon collecting game.

what other reason than "want" does any player need to justify owning any item.

Genuinely would love to meet the "purely positive" dog trainers that aversive/balanced trainers keep talking about. You know, the ones that are so against using force that they just let their dogs walk into traffic.

Boy, they sure must lose a lot of dogs every year and honestly I'm amazed they're still alive themselves if they're getting dragged in front of a semi trailer every time they go out for a walk...

Oh so trans women just transition to beat cis women at sport?

So trans men just transition to lose to cis men at sport right?

Because sport is at the total centre of every trans persons life?

That’s why we take hormones and wear binders which actively make exercise/gaining muscle mass harder and more painful of course…

And there’s no way that an afab and amab person could ever be physical equals right?

So if a trans masc pro boxer and a trans femme person who never exercised had a physical fight the trans femme person would easily win because she’s amab?

✨Makes sense to me✨

the 'jason trained w wolves since he was 2 but didn't become a preator but percy trained for less than a week and become preator, so we can see who's more powerful' kinda people kindly stay a million miles away from me :)

y'all think the legion would simply hand over the praetor responsibility over to him at like 4 wtf 😭 and there's a HUGE difference between a 2 year old grasping the skills taught by a wolf (especially since jason was used to only HUMAN speech till then, and was likely around no monsters or even animals for that matter, mostly being around beryl and thalia, so he adapted to that) vs a fully aware and developed teenager learning from a wolf.

ironically if we go by y'alls point then jason's progress as a TODDLER is way more impressive
