#and like yeah have your opinion idc even if i don't agree with it

[ripclaudia]

jskdkfkff why would anyone tag a post where they say they're uncomfortable with a relationship with said relationship's name. like what are u trying to accomplish here

[straightontllmorning]

can i say (as a bi woman) that it genuinely bothers me that like... so many ppl are like 'its not biphobic for a bisexual to have casual sex' when i don't think anyone has ever said THAT is the issue? i don't care what bisexuals do in real life. if they wanna have safe and consensual casual sex, go right ahead, idc! it's not for me but as long as i'm also being respected in my decision, idc what other people do. it just baffles me because buck in season one was talking about how he was a sex addict and how he didn't want to ruin things with abby by rushing into sex too fast because he genuinely liked her and that was like... kind of a huge part of his character? is that he DIDN'T really like the casual sex so much but actually wanted a real relationship? so why is oliver begging to have buck sleep around again when his character like... wanted more than just sex??? i don't mind character regression but it just feels like bad writing to retread that plot again.

also idc what other people say about thinking OS wasn't biphobic in his remarks. the guy dropped the ball hardcore. he could have easily said "i think buck can continue to casually explore his sexuality with other men and women now, he's still bisexual even if he's single" and it wouldn't have felt so... idk. fetishize-y to me. i'm just tired of bisexuality in fiction always being linked to promiscuity. real bisexuals can do whatever they want. but bisexuals in fiction are held to a different standard for a reason. what else should i expect from a ryan murphy show tho considering brittany on glee never called herself bisexual (bi-lingual, bi-corn) and she was portrayed the 'stupid slutty cheerleader' stereotype. i was just hoping for something different ig :(

it just makes me mad because... they didn't have to break up buck and tommy Like That. tommy could have easily had to move away and he and buck could have broken things off mutually as a result. idk sorry for ranting a bit in ur asks im just so miffed over this and over people speaking over bisexuals expressing their thoughts and concerns toward the biphobia that's going on rn :(

Sorry it took me so long to answer you, but please rant away! Honestly I agree with everything you've said. And unfortunately this really does prove that yeah, this is a Ryan Murphy show and it's par for the fucking course. I was gleek and that always bothered me too that Britney would never say it (and most of her characterization in general was just awful)

I wish Oliver had said something different, I wish he hadn't worded it that way. And again, people can have their opinions but it just feels so gross given how the show decided to do this.

They could've had bucktommy break up in any other way for any other reason. They brought up the Abby plot, they could've used that as the hurdle. They could have had them talk about wanting different things in a relationship. Literally anything that wasn't Tommy basically telling Buck it's over because he's not enough of a stereotype. Because bisexuals don't know what they want. Clearly.

It's very infuriating and I'm so sorry that yet another piece of media treated bisexual people like fucking shit.

And it's really fucking infuriating that people who aren't bisexual are defending Oliver over his comment. Again, have your different opinions but don't speak over people that are bi and already have to deal with biphobia in our shitty society

This show went about it all in an awful way, and I'm really sad that we were all tricked into believing they'd handle it better

[echo]

this is a response to @anarcho-yorpism's tag for me in this post. i'm not directly rbing bc that post is long and it has a lot going on in the notes.

anyway please note all of my responses here are my own, and not representative of Staff or tumblr. i am not T&S and have zero power to make any moderation decisions here.

with that disclaimer:

Predstrogen received a message from Tumblr saying she was banned for "sexual content". If she was not, why was she told this, why were her transition photos removed, and why has she still not been told the actual reason? (I understand not making it public, but it is your policy to tell the user) If she was, what was this sexual content, if not her transition timeline?

i can't really directly answer this for few reasons. firstly, i feel that staff shouldn't talk about her anymore bc i feel this continued controversy will only attract more harassment for her on other platforms.

secondly, as a low-level staffer talking about moderation decisions can get me, y'know, fired. i'd prefer not to do that.

also just like... i want to avoid getting into a narrative of "well she did bad things so she deserves it" or whatever. idc if she broke the rules or not, she didn't deserve what happened.

i know this isn't terribly satisfying to hear, but i'd like to be honest about why i'm not saying more at least.

If you can't answerblegal questions, ignore this question: The NYCLU settlement agreed that Tumblr would fix its moderation so it targeted transfem users less. Why has there been no comment on the settlement and actions taken since? There could genuinely be a large legal case against Tumblr after this, and I love this site and don't want that to happen. Also, wasn't it illegal under GDPR to release her usernames?

i'm not able to answer legal questions. i don't know the exact text of the agreement, but it mostly boiled down to some training and stuff from my personal experience there.

however not as a staffer but as NYC trans human: i would not put a ton of faith in the NYCCHR. they have some noble goals but they are a chronically underfunded city agency that in practice does very little to curb real-world violence against marginalized people. i tried to use them myself when my landlord was kicking me out right after i had surgery and they didn't even get back to me until months after everything resolved. nobody i know in the community out here has been helped by them off the top of my head.

i have sincere doubts in relying on the state to help people here.

A lot of transfem users don't like vague language like "prioritize", especially given point 2 and Matt's statement that improving moderation was not on the agenda. I understand you can't reveal company secrets in an already risky post, but we would like to see the specific actions taken after this, given a lot of broken trust by what @\photomatt has said. Are any of the trans women banned recently for "sexual content" going to have their accounts restored?

i don't know. i'm pushing internally for at least a review of everyone suspended to see if the less egregious stuff can be reversed. but like i said, i don't have a ton of power as i'm not in charge of anything.

and yeah, "prioritize" is vague corpo-speak. i know some stuff is shifting internally and what we said does match what is happening inside. but also... i've been disappointed before.

i can say i'm tentatively optimistic. people are responding seriously, and being asked our opinions for once is pretty nice. but also, systemic stuff is hard. i trust in my fellow workers and i'll continue to fight until i can't anymore.

so... yeah. i genuinely wish i can be more informative here, but what we wrote (and i want to emphasize we here, it was not just me by any stretch!!) is what we can say in an official capacity.

i'm just frustrated, tired, angry, depressed... and also weirdly hopeful?

[aspd-culture]

hey, so i recently did some research and took the mmpi and a few other tests that i knew were well regarded as diagnostic tools by professionals, as well as self reflection and matching myself with criteria. (all tests found free probably illegally online via links on reddit cause i dont got that kind of money) and it appears that i have aspd.

I consider myself a good person, i try to always be good to everyone which is a lot of effort because it’s something i dont do naturally, and imo that makes me better than a “normal person” but i digress

finding this out, while relieving in the way that it explained a lot of stuff, has also made me feel more alienated. i cant tell anyone im close to because theyll just hear “sociopath” and think i dont care about them or ive been manipulating them this whole and leave, and i wont be able to find new people because im bad at connecting with others so ill be alone. and no one online with aspd seems to have my experiences (also a lot of the online spaces are filled with pwBPD and pwNPD using our tag lmao and i dont relate to them either obviously) so i feel alien here too.

I dunno, finding this out was helpful in some ways but in others i just feel worse.

I guess it’s a net good now that i know that my way of thinking and going through life doesnt make me a bad or manipulative person its just how i naturally think bc of my disorder, and as long as im choosing to be good to people it shouldn’t matter. i just wish it wasnt so stigmatized to have, and i wish people would realize that i am capable of being a good person just as much as they are, i just have my own way of doing it.

I actually dont get why having it Come Naturally is such a good thing anyway, isnt it more meaningful if someone isnt “good by nature” but actively chooses to be anyway? I think it means less and is less reliable if someone is good by nature because then it means that they don’t actually know how or why theyre doing it, and if they have a moment of fluctuations in their empathy then they could be worse than any of us disordered folk who had to learn they why and how of this stuff.

lmfao ok uh sorry for having a character arc in your ask box you can delete if you want idc

No, no worries! I'm sorry it took me this long to get to honestly because yeah I agree with this - it is in my opinion objectively better to do good things by choice, even when it's hard for us. And, in fact, the NTs feel that way too but they don't like that it applies to us.

It's a whole cliche people like to throw around, that it isn't easy to be a good person and that the only truly good people are the ones that doing it when it's hard too - that the easiest thing isn't always the right thing, all of that. They just don't like that those things apply to us too and therefore we are very much their definition of good people.

The world has so much stigma against us, and I'm sorry you're struggling with it, that any and all of you are. We shouldn't be treated this way as a result of us being mistreated as kids. It's not our fault, but we're labeled and demonized anyway. And it sucks, and even though it says everything about them and nothing about us, people believe them bc they're so used to thinking we're the scary ones so we must be wrong.

That seems to be slowly changing, and I hope I (and you) are around to see when it does.

no you know what no. if you call me a fascist even tho all I've ever wanted and I've said it A MILLION TIMES is for there to be a peaceful two-state solution, and then accuse me of lying about being jewish over the internet even though I know there's no way a goy could ever research enough about jewish culture and yiddish to "fake" being jewish as well as I've legit posted about judiasm, and all this after vagueposting (in our usual manner, as per our semi-spoken agreement to never talk politics directly) at me telling me to KILL MYSELF, "not fucking joking" then you are the asshole.

I didn't spiral into anything, and neither did you. I've known you for what, a year and a half? two years? I was extremely upfront about my opinions since last october, after, to be fair, being intentionally silent on the matter since may 2021. I don't think you could hide your political opinions if you tried. we've both just been mutually ignoring what the other is saying for the sake of silly calicojackposting, because he's not a popular character and we are totally on the same wavelength about him. I have forgiven you for countless things, and no doubt you've also "forgiven" me for countless things I've said about the Topic.

not really the point, but I didn't mean to scold you, that's not how I meant it. tone over the internet sucks we can all agree about that.

also yeah I did block evade but if you see this it means you're checking to see if I publicly react to you blocking me over this so we're both nosy bitches lol <3 personally idc if anyone block evades to spy on me like whatever, and also I'd be a hypocrite if I did care.

I haven't been quite so obvious about anyone else who has blocked me over the Topic but nobody else has called me a fascist and a liar and also to kill myself so yeaaaahhhh I'm gonna be a dick and let everyone know you did that :)

[messrsrobyn]

hii i hope this isn’t too brash (?), but what are your thoughts on character bashing in the marauders fandom ?? i feel like the term “character bashing” gets thrown around a lot when people come across characterizations that they don’t necessarily agree with, when to me character bashing has always been one-dimensional and is meant to advance the plot or character development for the mc(s). like in some drarry fics w/ weasley or hermione bashing. the OOC-ness isn’t fleshed out or relevant at all outside of harrry growing closer to draco or him not trusting dumbledoore/ the light side anymore. so when i see some people on (specifically) tiktok cry character bashing in a certain fic (choices *cough* WHO SAID THAT) … i’m like 🤨 character bashing ?? bc 8/10 of they just come across a characterization of a character they didn’t like/agree with. and that’s fine, but imo not agreeing w/ a characterization does not equal character bashing 😭 most of the time the character bashing they claim is occurring is actually just a well flushed out character w/ flaws 🤷‍♀️

(i do hope you’re doing well 🫶🫶)

oh em gee we've transferred the yaps to tumblr this is a revolutionary moment.

finna put it after the break so people can skip past if they want !!

tl;dr - i think the term itself is so silly but if we *are* using it, then yeah people do infact just use the term when they dislike how something has been portrayed.

character bashing is fine. like in every way shape or form imo because we ALL explore fandom differently. like idc if someone bashes regulus in a fic because that's how THEY want to engage in fandom. it really doesn't affect me and i don't quite understand why it's always a big thing?? (fandom discourse as a whole makes no sense to me tbh xox)

like in drarry !! as you said !! i LOVE lily's boy as we know, and that is *heavy* on the ron/hermione/molly bashing and i got SO MANY messages and nasty comments when i first posted about it back in like april? when i had 3k? "erm 🤓☝🏻 you can't promote this fic because it bashes herm-" i can and i will bc it was a fab fic and the character bashing was relevant. and then for a good month whenever i posted a drarry fic rec where there isn't character bashing, i'd get a comment like "uhhh i thought you hated hermione?"

no. because i can view each individual fic as just that. individual. it's why i can hate snape in some fics and adore him in others. it's almost like each fic is different and written for a different purpose and by a different person and with different opinions.

i think the term is dumb and that the sun will stilll rise. that's how i feel about most fandom discourse tbh. the world keeps spinning 🙏

but if we are using the term then i think you're right !! people just use it when it doesn't fit their characterisation. sometimes it's just,,, the plot. i don't necessarily have set characterisations?? like ofc i have my fav hcs and dynamics but i explore outside of that every. day. so character bashing has never been an issue for me bc i just love seeing all these characters through different perspectives.

it's the same kinda way that i feel about buzzwords being thrown around the fandom as well - which i've spoken about on tt before. it ties in with the misogyny discussions where if a female character is "bashed" that word gets thrown around and it's like 🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️no. i fear it's just the plot. i fear it's just the character. (and most of the time it's not even bashing, the woman just isn't the pinnacle of moral righteousness and she's just a complex person with depth who sometimes makes mistakes,,, like a person does)

when one of the MCs (normally sirius) dates mary pre-wolfstar and people say "erm 🤓☝🏻 it's misogynistic" i actually want to CRY. no it isn't. it's the plot. or, as you say, choices with what happens during the war chapters. "ermmmm this is misogy-" IT'S THE PLOT 😭🙏 it's almost like the whole fic is about the choices you make and how morality isn't always black and white !! god forbid the complex characters fighting in a war as young adults and facing atrocities every single day are complex.

terms like character bashing, misogynistic, homophobic ETC ETC ETC are thrown around so so so liberally in this fandom that they just lose all value. no, it's not racist to like regulus i beg of you to think critically. no, it isn't character bashing because they aren't characterised exactly how you want them to, it's almost as if SOMEONE ELSE wrote the fic. it's almost as if you're reading SOMEONE ELSE'S story and perspective.

go write your own if you're so concerned about it.

idk if any of this made sense i think i'm more eloquent when speaking verbally about things, but yeah. idc about character bashing. like at all. the world will keep spinning if someone characterised one of the fictional wizards in a way i didn't particularly enjoy, it's fine.

it all comes down to something i've said before which is the more aggressive sides of the fandom wanting to be the best marauders fan out there. wanting to be the one with the best hcs, the best ideas, the best morals etc etc when really we're all just massive nerds who read fanfiction and most of us take joy out of different characterisations. i know i do !!

in fact, give me more character bashing. i want to see them all portrayed in every possible way 🙏🙏

[stanlunter]

“what terfs are you even talking about” well let’s see, how about people who are very obviously on radblr? gender-critical-analytical, liberate-women-now, quinntheestallion, and thistlefemmebi just to name a few? not to mention one of your recent posts about being anti-butchfemme, which has been one of their talking points about heteronormativity being forced upon lesbians since the 70s. and now i’m hearing from another ex-mutual of yours followed by a screenshot of your comment that you’re anti genderqueer/xenogenders? let’s not play plausible deniability here. like i said, i was in your position before and it always ends the same. i know some of the blogs i’ve seen you repost from, they’re blatant terfs, not just feminists.

and, lmao, imagine turning off anon because vulnerable people that rhetoric is affecting are calling you out with stuff as basic as “your takes are shit and we know it, please be warned” 💀 i was being sincere last time, not attacking you.

Oh, I think I got what you was talking about

I scrolled my acc and yeah, the was a post about abortions and how stupid pro-lifers areI reblogged from someone a gender-critic acc, probably there were more topic about women rights, but that's too far to scrol. Yeah, I checked some accs you referred to, and you're right, they were either terfs, or just radical feminits (still don't know if that's the same thing or not tho, but anyways). However, thistlefemmebi has good points, especially about bisexuality, even tho I can say I agree with some (especially with splitting women up on musculine and femine, bc yeah, I think that's a sexist thing that spreads stereotypes and if you wanna discuss it, I wouldn't mind)

Yeah, I didn't know about them and actually, I don't even know them, bc usually I don't check every acc whose post I reblog. I usually do it if U agree with the point of the post and don't even care who post it, may be I should check the people before doing stuff, Ill think about it later

Anyways, yeah, I should have been turned on the anonymous questions much earlier, being anon in the social media that already helps you being anon doesn't make any sense tbh, it already allows you to be completely honest, so there is no point in hiding something there

But I don't remember having any wrong takes tho and I obviously don't refuse of any of my bisexuality takes, or takes about pro-choice, or about Lunter, catradora, splitting women up on masculine and femine, or or that xeno"genders" have nothing to do with transgender people or even genders, that's enought to just google what gender is to know that tho and etc, so, Idc what you want for me

Like I said, if you wanna discuss any my take you disagree with, you can comment the post or ask me about that topic, or even directly send a message, bc for obvious reason, Im not gonna discuss all the topics you disagree with under one anon ask, I have written a lot of explanations before and have no wish to just copy them for you

Also, I don't think you can "call out" anyone in a social media which goal is to share opinion and discuss thing, which already implies being completely honest, which is basically the reason you are allowed to ask such questions

So, I hope we got each other

[jaeger-pups]

omegaverse!Zekeren : a touchy disagreement?

Z: look I understand if you're mad but you're being reckless at this point

Z: Answer your damn phone, Eren

Z: think. you're by yourself out there

E: I AM thinking! I just need some air, fuck

Z: You left almost three hours ago

E: so fucking what? Stop texting me

E: in case screening your calls isn't making it clear, I do not want to speak to you

E: either of you.

E: I can't believe you actually agreed w/ him

Z: for what it's worth, I genuinely didn't think i was picking a side. Or that it'd upset you this much

Z: Grisha made a valid point though

Z: whether you see it or not

E: See WHAT?? you and dad are NEVER on the same page

E: about ANYTHING!

E: you couldn't have picked a worst stance to get behind

Z: what, that you're not like typical omegas?

Z: I didn't agree w/ that to insult you

E: yea but that's what HIS whole aim was, I bet

E: to make me feel like shit🙄

E: really could've left my gender out of it

E: it's always a cheap shot idc

E: "dOnT yOu ThInK iT'll Be DiFFiCuLt FoR yOu To FiNd An AlPhA wHo'LL pUt Up wItH a TeMpEr LiKe YoUrS?"

E: "hOnEsTlY, eReN. yOu sHoUlDnT sPeAk To AlPhAs LiKe ThAt. YoU mAkE yOuRsElF a TaRgEt."

E: he's always making me out to be fucking different

E: like it's a bad thing

E: what if I don't WANT to be like other omegas?

E: what if I don't CARE what Alphas think of me?

Z: It's just complicated, little brother

Z: honestly I think Grisha's just concerned about you

E: ugh, what fucking world do we live in where you're suddenly willing to VOUCH for him?

E: this feels sexist af why are you not on my side?

Z: I am on your side, ffs Eren! I just agreed w him about your temper. Even I’VE told you to be more careful. Have I not?

Z: you need to come back home. I gave Carla my word i wouldn't leave before you got back

Z: or that I'd go out and find you if you took too long

E: I'm still annoyed

E: I probably need like another half hour or something out here at least

Z: How far did you storm off?

E: far enough where I could rage in peace?😒

Z: It's getting dark out.

E: mhm.

Z: Eren.

E: I mean are you trying to persuade me? Or is this more of a command-thing?

Z: I wouldn't command you. You know that.

E: not that you couldn't. 😒

Z: I wouldn't is what I said. I couldn't do that to you.

E: cus I'm an omega.

Z: well... yes. That's part of it.

E: see? Now there YOU go doing it

E: reducing me to my God damn gender

E: I can defend myself, yknow. I don't need anyone hovering over me in case I make myself anymore "undesirable" 😑

Z: no one said you're undesirable, Eren

E: it's close enough. The way HE gets on my case, at least 🙄

E: you have no idea how hard it is, Zeke

E: like no idea. It's so much simpler to be an Alpha. Or a Beta.

E: at least no one undermines your thoughts or opinions. Or makes you feel like your sole purpose is submission & pleasing everyone else.

Z: I know I can't understand. But I hear you.

E: it gets so fucking frustrating

E: he acts like I fucking chose this or something.

E: I'm more pissed at him than at you honestly

E: cus its just like... constantly w/ him.

Z: yeah.

E: you know what I mean?

Z: ...Yeah. yes, actually.

E: right, so... idk.

E: i don't hate being an omega. It's not like... unbearable. Dangerous and annoying sometimes but.

E: dad just... makes me feel like I do it wrong or something. HE’S not even an omega, so it's like how tf can he tell me how to handle it? How to behave, even.

Z: Sorry for not realizing it was a sore subject

E: it's fine ig.

E: I mean at least you guys agreed on something for a change

E: I'm trying to get better w/ my temper too. He just never notices when im doing pretty good

E: cus even though I think it's performative...

E: I mean... I can talk less. And do chores. And cook; clean.

E: I can be an omega the way people expect.

E: I'm not different on purpose.

Z: you're perfect.

Z: Grisha's just always had this tunnel vision w his expectations for his kids

Z: you don't have to meet anyone's standards but your own tho

Z: Carla and Grisha just worry.

E: yea I know.

Z: you still have to be careful out here too, though.

E: ...I know. Sorry i ran off.

E: I'm coming back now. Mom's probably thinking the worst.

Z: well you're not wrong lol. She was able to relax when i told her you were finally responding to me

E: ok. Could you meet me halfway? It is pretty dark out.

Z: 😏 started walking maybe five minutes ago.

E: lucky you're so intuitive, huh? Lol do you even know where I am?

Z: I'll find you, trust me

E: right, cus you're an Alpha? Must be nice😮‍💨

Z: bc I'm your brother. I could find you in my sleep

E: still. Must be nice being able to depend on instincts that aren't almost exclusive reminders to 'submit, cower and please'😕

Z: can't imagine.

E: ikr. I'm omw tho.

Z: alright. I'll meet you in the middle.

Z: stay on the trail though.

E: yeah yeah, big brother. I hear you. "Good omegas are indoors before the streetlights are on" and all. I know, I know.

Z: lol where'd you hear that?

E: Aunt Faye.

Z: haven't heard from her in a little while. Since New Years, I think

E: she talks to mom a lot. Asks about you, too

Z: I'll have to call and check in.

E: yea. but come get me first :<

Z: lol of course. i'm coming.

[demonsfate]

ashdkfk so true!!!! You are absolutely right on everything!! Boy it is SO refreshing to read opinions like yours because I feel like many people love to bring the same thing about "but Jin created a war--" WELL. Actually! that wasn't Jin. idc what Harada says, but at least he saw the huge mistake he made and is now kinda fixing it on T8. I really like DJ but.. he's *not* Jin. But yeah, I'm not surprised someone said that about Josie :/ ... I've read other things re the female characters, especially about Xiaoyu and Asuka. Whenever someone says they're generic or smth I go "Can't read suddenly idk". As you said Tek has lots of unserious stuff. And it was one of the things that bothered me on 7 bc the Mishimas had their serious storyline while the rest were like,, for the lulz.. I don't think they even bothered to do more than that.

Also the thing you said about Heihachi took me out lmao. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring him back, SOMEHOW. But thank you! Tbh I get hyped whenever I see your posts getting hyped over T8 (if that makes sense?? my English sucks) love how you write Jin! I can’t wait for the game. Hopefully, it will be as great as it looks. I need it like yesterday lol. Btw, I'm starting to think I should go by "hype anon" or something(??)' (I'm going to stop talking now this is way too long I'm sorry! :| )

Thank you!! And YEAH - it's easy to look at a character, and poor writing, and see that it's something the character wouldn't do, and say "this isn't the character lol." But the Tek fandom just CAN'T seem to wrap that around their head!

I like DJ a lot, too! But totes, he's not Jin!

Now it seems like we now have 'em both referring to each other as different people! And well, I guess ppl forgot this - but even in TK2, we saw Kaz fighting against Devil Kaz. Which may just be seen as symbolism - but in TK4, Devil Kaz even refers to Kaz by name, asking what he's doing. (And plus Heihachi didn't recognize Devil Kaz as Kaz.) So because of this, I always saw DJ and Jin as different people - just habiting the same body. I also find this concept to be much more interesting than trying to claim DJ is just "Jin but evil!11!!1 his dark desires!!1!!!" Just because that concept if sooo generic and overused for fighting games. Mortal Kombat has their revenants which is just that, and Street Fighter as Ryu and Evil Ryu. And since I wrote in the MK fandom once - I already wrote that concept and I'm bored with it. Jin and DJ being enemies who are forced to share a body is very fascinating to me.

So, that's also why I roll my eyes when I see ppl say that TK6's writing is "justified" because DJ represents what Jin really wants. (Fuck off with thaaat.) And even if somehow, someway, Jin did go "dark." I don't see him behaving like DJ. I see Jin behaving more angrier and aggressive - but not sadistic and maniacally laughing and stuff.

Funny thing is - I actually wasn't too happy with Xiao's depiction in the Bloodline anime because I felt they made her more generic than she is in the games. XD Imo, not many of the Tek characters are "generic." Yes, they all have tropes. (Xiao's the bubbly schoolgirl, Jin's the stoic main character.) But like, many characters are built upon established tropes. It's how they're written and how they actually act with those tropes that make them unique. I really don't see how Asuka's generic. Even if she can be a bit pointless to her family's story, she can be entertaining as a character personality wise imo.

AND YEAHHH - I may also be in the minority who didn't completely hate the TK7 story like many people do. But I def agree they fucked the other characters up completely. Like yeah, I still have gripes about the TK7 story - but at least it was taken seriously. And Heihachi did stuff and was taken seriously again. (Unlike you know, in TK5 and TK6 where he has endings of him sending his family to... Space to kill them.) But my God, I finally got around to unlocking all the character endings a few months ago and TK7 probably has the worst character endings - maybe even worse than TK6 (if not just as bad. As TK6 wasn't all juvenile humor, but a lot of them was just short 30 seconds of Nothing Happening) I'd say Miguel probably had the best ending - if it didn't remind of TK6 and made me angry because of that.

I feel like they will bring back Heihachi - even just to be in the roster, and not alive. Just because even if the character is dead - players still liked his style, and therefore, enjoyed playing as him. I feel like they could pull a Kazumi, and have Heihachi in a flashback, and thus he can be in the roster because of that. Lots of people are saying "they could make clone or robo Heihachi - or even a new apprentice!" But really, I think Flashback Heihachi is most likely. Honestly, I wouldn't really mind if TK8 brought in a lot of "dead" characters as DLC. Like they're just DLC, and most Tek characters have no impact on the story anyway (LOL) So... what would be the big deal? It'd be nice to see Jinpachi or Ogre again.

Don't worry about your English! You haven't said anything that was unclear to me yet, so it's been all good! And thank you soooo very much about that!!! I love writing this character, and I love my concepts - so it's always joyful to know others do, too. <3 And I really like talking to you about the games! As said, it gives me an excuse as well to ramble all my ideas! Which is funny bc you were worried about going on to long, but now I'm going on way too long. xD

"But this is an ew you have cooties argument." it doesn't matter. the average person has more trivial dealbreakers than that but this is the only one that people scrutinize to such an extent and it's because people think being disgusted by heterosexual sex is misogyny because they see heterosexuality as fundamental to the experience of womanhood. it literally does not matter if a lesbian thinks you're gross because you've fucked men and comparing lesbians to men which your tags do implicitly is homophobic.

Idk if you want to have a genuine convo about this or not but I'm gonna assume yes and continue in good faith for a bit. I know lesbian dating preferences arent the be all and end all of feminist praxis, but that post only talked about 1 'deal breaker' or reason not to have sex with a woman. I'm allowed to have an opinion on that even if it doesn't matter. My words in the tags of a post aren't harming any lesbian or stopping her from making choices. Again, saying "hmm don't know that I agree with your justification" is NOT saying "your excuse is inadequate and now you MUST do this thing you didn't want to".

Being disgusted by hetero sex is amoral. Idc. It's fine. Thinking people who have engaged in it are disgusting, maybe a bit different. And yeah in this made up hypothetical it's not that serious but if a woman I was dating said that she thought I (or people like me) were disgusting I'd be hurt by that and start planning how to have a sort of difficult and sensitive discussion. And that's also fine. Someone on the internet disagreeing with me isn't gonna change my ability or likelihood of doing that.

I'm pretty sure I didn't talk about men in my tags and just said 'someone who only dates white women' so if you think that only implies men idk what to tell you. Comparing reasons people won't date other people isn't homophobic, we're talking about women here?

I'm not sure if you want to come to common understanding but if you do, I'm happy for you to reply or talk privately if you want. I want to be clear that all I'm saying is 'im not sure I agree with that justification'. And I know that doesn't matter and isn't going to change anyone's behaviour. I'm NOT saying lesbians have to date bi women because that is a stupid thing to say.

[gingergofastboatsmojito]

Rich + Syd

I know this post is not "popular" but IDC. I find RichSyd shippers somewhat cringe. They find fighting and talking down to a person to be synonyms of sexual tension and I find it repulsive and juvenile. There's no middle ground there for me. Sorry. We can't agree to disagree like I do every day with the Anties/ Platonics. It's like they don't see what's there, but ONLY what they wish there was there because they are projecting their own desires onto the characters. They find that attractive? Really? It's like they confuse being a bully with being attracted by the person you're passive-aggressively bullying or appealing to low blows during an argument with "unresolved sexual tension". We're talking about adult characters here, not 3rd graders, or younger, guys. The kid that crazy glued your hair because he liked you is not the 45-year-old divorced guy in the series and the girl who called you a lousy father and a loser and threatened to stab you, is not secretly wanting to blow you. Not in my book. Not now, not ever.

So, nope, I don't see it and more importantly, I flat-out reject it. Now the arc of going from foes to allies because they do have a goal and a loved one in common, yeah I can see that, because Rich has found his purpose, so that change in him enables it. But sexual tension between Syd and him? Seriously?! No, I don't see it nor do I find it interesting or "adult-like" at all.

This is just my opinion, of course, it's not supposed to make anyone change their mind or their shipping preferences, go nuts. Fine. I'm just putting this out there bc I have read things that have literally caused like a physical reaction in me, lately. An awful one, btw. I'm talking: deeply disturbing. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bring it up here.

[parkourninjaxd]

I'm gonna make a little rant post but I don't like the vocal minority of Minecraft's modern version detractors. I found a mod earlier called better than adventure and I noticed a lot of the compliments people gave it were trying to insult modern more often than not. Like it's fine to enjoy old versions and like mods but it rubs me the wrong way that their enjoyment seems to be at something else's expense. I've seen a lot of people complain about modern but it never seems like they get the whole situation. They aren't the underdogs. No one wants to stop you from enjoying Minecraft how you want. I think they just feel insecure about their opinions and desire outside validation. Mojang let's you really simply install old versions. Clearly they see value in the ability to have access to them. And even if you want to play new versions but don't like something then just don't use it. It's a big game and you can just avoid them. Don't want copper then don't mine it, don't like potions then don't brew them. Meta items like elytra or setting up farms aren't necessary either. No one but you is making you get them and if it's more fun without them then don't use them. That's what I do even. And if you wanna play old versions with a new twist hey there are plenty of old and new mods to try. Your opinions are valid!(as long as they aren't directly harmful to people) You don't need external validation to prove it! Yeah people agree with you but your opinion would still be valid even if they didn't. Mojang isn't oppressing you. They've changed and you don't have to like it and that's valid. Just don't play it. They don't owe you anything. Yeah I'm telling people how to enjoy the game but I'm not making an intellectual post I'm just venting. I honestly just hope people can learn to enjoy stuff without being insecure or feeling that need to validate it by belittling others over it. You like it what else do you need to prove it's cool. (It's special interest so I have strong as fuck opinions lol. IDC if it's disjointed either I'm not here to discuss stuff lol. I also could be very wrong about all of this. Maybe it's just angry people wanting to spread hate because they're spiteful and for no other reasons)

[mariposakitten]

Uggghhhhh, the points @mad-gremlin is making would be so much more effective if they weren't... wrong?? About so much?

Like. Plenty of people have talked about their unease with the trans character in Hogwarts Legacy and the way she was named, not to mention that one of the game's lead designers ran an alt-right YouTube channel and the plot was barely-disguised antisemitism. Citing that game, of all things, as an example of diversity and improvement, just sounds like you haven't been listening to the conversation about this issue or taking the people who raised concerns seriously.

Or the repeated hopes that the show will "fix all the problems." It can't. It literally can't, because the problems are in the real world. The show could be the most perfect social justice paradise the world has ever seen, and it would still be unethical to support it. Because supporting it and watching it (legally, at least) gives money to JKR, and she is going to take that money and give it to causes and politicians that will hurt trans people. If you don't want to materially contribute to anti-trans laws, you cannot ethically support the show.

But the thing is, I actually don't agree with the popular sentiment that it's wrong to still like or care about HP in any way. You can reread your old books, you can draw your fanart and write your fanfic and whatever. I don't even really care if you pirate the show. Thoughtcrime isn't real and the heart wants what it wants, idc. Do whatever you want in your own imagination. Just don't give, directly or indirectly, a single red cent to JKR, because you know what she'll do with it.

("She's said she considers liking HP to mean you also support her views!" Okay? I genuinely could not care less. If she thinks me reading the occasional drarry soulmate AU fic on AO3 constitutes support for her bullshit, she's entitled to her wrong opinion. I'm not worried about "empowering" her because she's already "empowered" by her nasty little terf echo chamber.)

Also, OP's post is... mmm. Not good. Setting aside the casual ableism of mocking people for reading at a low level and comparing it to eating kid cuisine every day (seriously, how many times must we have the discourse about not shaming people for their food choices? "I will shame your reading choices by comparing them to childish food choices, implying that both are shameful and should be mocked!" Not a good look!), how effective do ppl genuinely think that's gonna be??

Be real now. If you posted about something you love, and someone else comes up like "ha ha, you're a stupid baby for liking that, goo goo gaa gaa, I bet you still eat chikie nuggies and mac and cheese," would you think to yourself "oh no, this thing I love is childish and embarrassing, I should stop talking about it immediately"?

Or would you think "wow, that dude is an immature dick, good thing the block feature exists" and move on with your life?

Yeah. Exactly. Acting like the worst caricature of a schoolyard bully isn't going to do your cause any favors.

i agree it's tactically sound to reframe harry potter as a Loser Brand for Losers, since all the transphobia clearly isn't slowing its fanbase down. they don't feel guilt, the consumerism patches over it, so instead... make the consumption painful, shameful. treat it like Ghostbusters: a franchise doddering into the senior home, while its fans slobber for a new movie to turn them young again

like relentlessly. always talk about HP in the context of manchildren refusing to let go of their fifth grade level reading. talk about it like it's got the literary complexity of a crossword puzzle. treat them like they're eating kid cuisine every meal of the day. baby like their baby book? gonna watch the spooky wizard show? that's nice sweetie, but the bills and the kids and the rest of the world are waiting for you, whenever you feel like changing out of your pajamas

[camellia-salazar]

So, I'm just gonna share something with everyone since I've gotten tired of holding this to myself.

I've created a world where characters from each fandom I'm in gets stranded in a world where they interact with each other and chaos ensues for the most part. It's basically an animated show I created in my head years ago and I've been invested in it ever since.

Each episode has its own plot (for the most part) and don't worry, the angst and drama still fallows with each character and fandom within the world.

----------------------------------------------------------

Here are some questions I think you'd ask and I'll answer now. Any more? Then ask them in the comments or reblog it. Idc.

Crossover? Yes. Just not official/canon.

How many fandoms? How many I get into. Rn it's a lot.

What's it called? I've been stuck thinking of a name for years until I found the perfect name, everyone has been using it but me since I've never heard of it until recently. Multifandom. (Formally called Fandom Friday). (but I'll still like the former name so I'ma call new episodes that or something idk I wanna keep it for something).

How many characters? Bruh I can't count that high. And even if I can, I don't got time to.

Character died? Not in this world they did.

How? That's where they go when they die, of course.

Even Warriors? Yes, Starclan is it's own island and the Dark Forest is next to it.

How does this work? Honestly, I have no idea.

What about the Waltens, the Weavers, The ink people in BATIM..? No more questions about afterlife.

What about Coco-? I said no more questions.

How did they get there? The characters I mean. They teleported.

Is Engineer from TF2 involved in that? No.

Is death still an option there? Nah. Characters can't die unless they go back to their world or have died in canon.

Are headcanons available? Like LGBTQ+ ones and such? Yup. Mostly my headcanons or the ones that everyone agrees with. Most likely the latter.

Food? Fruit trees and such. Gardening. Probably some meat too idk.

Water? L a k e s .

Where they gonna live? After a while of being stranded and sleeping on the ground, they build their own town and stuff.

That's dumb. WELL CAN YOU DO BETTER?!

What genre is this? Fluff? Angst? Horror? .. smut? All of the above, except that last one.. ish.

Wdym by that?? Listen, sometimes an adult show still gotta be just that, an adult show. You think characters like Murdoc, Tucker, and Trekky Monster gonna go on without making one sex comment?? It's just gonna be sweetened a bit. (I ain't gonna include sexual content tho, the commentary is the worst it's gonna get and even then it won't be that bad, trust me).

How the angst gonna work? Like magic.

Wdym? It's not gonna be crappy is it?? Depends on how you individuals take it. Everyone has different opinions. I just hope you don't end up having the same negative opinions.

What about creators, they gonna be in it too? Ye. After a while.

Fan artists like Tombstone and Stupendium? Same deal.

Are they gonna voice themselves or..? Not likely. They are heckin large on popularity, so idk if I could message them about it.

Is there gonna be guest characters like Brittle Bones Nicky and stuff? Sometimes, yeh... Maybe.

OCs?? ... I dunno. Most likely.. no.

Can we make the OCs guests? .. nah. Most guest episodes would be souly about the guest character. So not really.

What about your mutuals? What about them?

Are you gonna involved them? ... Idk we'll see.

Ships? 90% canon, baby.

What about the other 10%? Fanon.

Will there be crossover shipping? Yeah, mostly one way tho. Idk if they're gonna end up together or not.

Is this cringe? Depends on you. I think it's brilliant.

Any cw or tw I need to watch out for? Not really, unless you can't stand some gore and nsfw. But even then they aren't that major. If you uncomfy about that, then I'll definitely warn you all with it before hand. Like a disclaimer or something.

Are my favs gonna be in this? Probably.

What fandoms? Well, big fandoms like Marvel, Dr Who, and Harry Potter is not gonna be in this. Super Mario, Warriors, and My Little Pony are tho. Gotta be my interest. Yours too if you like stuff from this list.

YOU GONNA MAKE FUN OF US FANS?? Heck no. I don't even like it when the creators do that, not unless it's a joke that we all agree on. Then maybe.

Is this gonna be real? As real as I want it to be, or as real as it's gonna be. I don't got the energy, or the art styles to animate this. But even if I do, idk who gonna voice em, who gonna help me animate em, or how I'm gonna get the money to pay the people who would help me. But, I've listened to Felix Kranken say "I have hope, and that's all we need" or something like that idk. So I guess we'll see. Has to be a good idea and idk if people like it or not. So... Yeah, we'll see.

----------------------------------------------------------

Well that's all the time I got left. Again, any more questions and you can go ahead and ask them and I'll reply, or better yet answer it in another post and tag you. Reblog or comment, it doesn't matter. I'll answer.

(also this is what inspired one of my ask blog a bit and how the characters there got to where they are, but the reason why I involved it there too was because I didn't think I'd get to share this idea with anyone, so kinda regret it, kinda not).

(the ask blog wouldn't be canon to this idea).

(my other ask blog is also inspired by this world too. In fact, it is the same world (most likely yeah)).

Anyways enough rambling. Hope you like the idea, because I value it more than the other fan made ones I've ever had. Every fan art I ever have (and will be) of characters interacting with each other, is all because of this idea. So I hope you've read it, and if you did. Thank you so much. Bye y'all, I'd probably talk about this some more in the future. Cya. 👋😸

[theteasetwrites]

Heres my opinion on the lizzie and mica situation. Lizzie could've been saved, I think it was lazy to just kill her. She was a traumatized kid, trying to make sense of the world around her. Shes older then mica, so mica basically grew up killing walkers, but lizzie was older and she still had the knowledge of them originally being people. Even if mica knew, it's not the same as seeing it happen in real time. Lizzie, I believe, could have been fixed if she met the rest of the group and Carol told them what happened. Obviously it was fucked what she did to mica, but none of the group would've agreed with killing Lizzie. I just hate that everyone labels her as crazy when she was just a kid.

Hm that's an interesting perspective for sure. I am somewhat on the fence, but like I said in my original post, I think that what Carol did in that moment was probably the best option because she did murder her sister and she very well could've also killed Judith, so I think that was the way to keep everyone safe.

It's also hard because at that time they weren't settled anywhere and Carol and Tyreese didn't know if they were ever going to find someplace like Alexandria, so I think Carol was thinking, "Well, we're probably going to be on the road for a long time now, and we can't stay here with this murdering child, so probably best to get rid of her."

And yeah maybe no one else in the group would agree to killing her. That's probably true. I do agree that it was fucked up tho, but I think considering that they live in a post-apocalyptic world, where there aren't the means to deal with these kinds of mental health issues, sometimes fucked up things need to happen. Idk that's just my take. I get yours tho.

All in all, it doesn't change my opinion that Carol is a shitty character whose actions get overlooked so much and it pisses me off that more people don't at least acknowledge the bad things she has done. Like idc if you like her, but at least admit she's a bad person lmao. Like what the Negan people do.
