sometimes ill see a post about how (thing i like) is bad and i shouldnt be enjoying it, and i try not to let that stuff bother me. its fine that i have different values and priorities than other people! i try to live in accordance with my own values, not those of a stranger.

that being said. the worst version of those posts is when they try to say something i like is Bad but their argument isnt even GOOD. like oh my god just let me do it. you dont even know WHY it's bad. let ME, as a fan, tell you the argument that you actually want to make here, because you're not qualified!!!!

#anime life #sorry i still havent forgotten the person saying fallen london is bad because your player character is white #when your character doesnt have a canonical appearance #like the argument you WANT to make here is: the character portrait options seem to have predominantly white features #(theyre all silhouettes but they mostly have little button noses etc)#and has you occasionally interacting with systems of oppression but never allows for the possibility #that the pc has experienced oppression first hand #and then theres the island of sentient monkeys that consume peoples souls. which to me is just the trope of like #'savage cannibal african tribe' but they replaced the africans with literal monkeys #and im still not sure if that makes it less racist or more racist actually #anyway. do you see my point.#get out of my way and let ME cancel the things i like. you're not even doing it right!!!!
