#anti themattress

[intotheventures]

Wait a second, intotheventures, themattress called you "mentally ill" because you don't like the same game as he does?

Jeez, at this point anon actually kind of misses the haters of decades ago. Previously, haters would just say you're wrong, or call you an idiot, or say you have bad taste, etc.

But people like mattress or eric aren't satisfied with claiming you're wrong, they have to claim you have mental problems on top of it.

At least the haters of previous decades were AWARE that not everyone thought like they do; they just thought "everyone else is wrong and we're right".

But mattress and eric don't even have that kind of awareness; they think everyone naturally has the same mindset they do but are just suffering from some sort of brain disorder.

They don't think "everyone else is wrong", they think "everyone is self-righteous, everyone else has protagonist syndrome, everyone else is a misogynist, everyone else is mentally ill or delusional or emotionally imbalanced etc. etc. etc."

They're not above ableism when it suits them.

Everything you said is correct, I would also add that they're the ones with issues if they're so easily triggered by people not liking a video game (let's ignore for a second that I'm not every instance of "KH2 hating anon" as explained in an old post). But even if their opponents did have mental problems, it doesn't make the two morons more credible, nor does it invalidate any criticisms towards them or their sacred cow.

They can call me autistic (and other variations) all they want, my problem is more so that they pretend to have the moral high ground while doing so.

Only Edelcrits are miserable in CF

So, does anyone remember this quote from me?

Now we’re delving straight into, I believe, Crushed Nugget’s Everyone is Miserable in CF set of posts, which is something I’d reeeeeaaaaaally like to dig into sometime, because it’s just a lot of petty and trivial ways to try to demonstrate everybody as being unhappy or less-fulfilled characters in CF.

These can range from the ever-popular “Lysithea doesn’t want to destroy the Empire in CF”, to “Yuri feels overworked in CF”, to “Raphael is irresponsible and happy in CF”, to “Ingrid is sadge in CF”. Yeah, being happy is bad if in CF and being unhappy is also bad if in CF.

It’s basically just her plucking at literally anything she can find to say that CF is bad in that exact moment without any regard for consistent standards. Ignatz’s is especially amazing given you know if the paintings he drew were reversed she’d instead say VW Ignatz is good for wanting to immortalize the horror of war so we never forget what war takes from us while CF Ignatz is bad for trying to cover up the pain with pretty pictures of something.

I said I didn't really wanna address it myself because it'd take a lot of time... but luckily @themattress has me covered! I can't directly reblog their post because Crushed Nugget has me blocked, but I link to it here:

Give it a look because holy shit it looks like they put a lot of work in this masterclass debunk.

This is more of a reply to @ultraericthered and @themattress since I can't directly reblog their replies.

To be fair, JJM HAS shown a couple of instances in the early run (specifically Johto) of not going along with Giovanni's wishes and going against him (case in point: Mewtwo Returns. By the ending, Meowth played a key role in Mewtwo being saved from Giovanni, not to mention it's heavily implied JJM willingly kept Mewtwo's existence a secret from the by-that-point amnesiac Giovanni [due to Mewtwo basically erasing the memory of their encounter]), so them turning against Team Rocket DOES have some plausibility behind it. And Darth Vader at least in-universe took literally HALF his life to redeem himself and return to the Light Side upon dying and Big Boss from Metal Gear took five DECADES to see the error of his ways and make amends, so I wouldn't necessarily say Team Rocket CAN'T do something like that.

Heck, Takeshi Shudo actually PLANNED to have JJM basically turn against Team Rocket and redeem themselves, viewing them as redeemable anti-villains, which was also part of the reason he wasn't happy with how they were handled in Advanced Generation by turning them into blatantly incompetent goofballs.

Either way, I definitely agree ultimately with alfredopizzaluver151's post, less regarding JJM's overall conclusion and more that they never actually took down Team Rocket the organization, period. Even if they must keep JJM's obsession with Pikachu and not redeem them, at least have it be that they decide to pursue Pikachu on their OWN terms and NOT be on Team Rocket's side. Just doesn't sit right that they'd keep the organization intact during Ash's final episode (and it's also left ambiguous as to what exactly happened to Giovanni since the fact that he let them have their Pokemon back suggested he was either considering firing them or otherwise was going to be leaving).

I think the saddest thing about Ash leaving the anime is that Team Rocket didn't have a satisfying conclusion. Jesse, James, and Meowth still think their boss cares about them and that what they're doing is okay.

It would've been nice seeing their rose-colored glasses shatter and they help Ash in a grand finale take down the Rocket organization.

The worst part of the montage, IMO, was Graham's death shown during the "loss" segment, with voiceover narration by his murderer who has never been exposed for that crime. What. the. Hell.

Graham. We never forgave and we never forgot.

The writers however, yeah they’re a different story. It’s hard to tell if they forgave, forgot, both or just didn’t even care.

Lots of Anti Regina under the cut XP

Seriously though, this is so true. And It leads to my constant belief that Regina never redeemed herself. She just switched sides. Which is NOT the same thing. (And even then, a lot of them times I question if she even switched O_o).

The show had multiple chances to show her redeeming herself, but again, that is more than just saying sorry (not that she even said the words “I’m Sorry” most of the time, if ever) and doing good in the future. A redemption is about looking back on the past and making up for it, and the first step to making up for Graham’s death would have been to come clean about it: which she never did. Not even to the end.

This is pure fantasy but wouldn’t it be such a sweet moment if Emma learned the truth at Regina’s coronation somehow (maybe read it in Henry’s book or something) and was the one to step forward and rip that damn crown off her head.

@themattress replied to your post “Did…they actually make Regina queen again? Did everyone get to vote on...”

Oh no, they said there WAS a vote and Regina won by a landslide. Because of course she did. Regina is literally one of the biggest Black Hole Sues I have ever witnessed.

Are you...are you serious?!

But of course she did!

She is actually the definition of a Black Hole Sue...it’s shocking!

And let me guess? Wish Henry suddenly got over her murder of his grandparents because he saw how super duper awesome she is and now loves her too?

And for anyone who wants to see just how much of a Black Hole Sue she is, here is the term! You’ll be amazed!

@themattress, thank you!

And this may sound awful, but thank god he’s really dead. Didn’t like him.

themattress replied to your post: What happens if Hook isn’t her true love? *coughs*

You missed 5x20. That was already confirmed.

Didn’t miss a thing.

@themattress replied to your post: Seriously, between Amity's anti-bullying here despite her past treatment of Willow *and* the reveal that she and Willow used to be friends in the previous episode, there is clearly something much more complex about their relationship than we know at the moment. Mysterious!

Agree. It’s seems like Amity may have experienced events different than Willow. Also, since Amity seems to be a very private and aloof person (with perfectionist tendencies) she doesn’t come across as helpful, caring or friendly but it might not mean she means badly.

Another thought, but I wonder if there’s competition in her family. Particularly around...mm...being the most skilled. If you’re not going to be the best, why bother?or waste the time? So, could her dismissiveness toward Willow be related to a sentiment that unless you’re going to exceed, best cut the bud of ambition before it blooms?

Additionally, maybe in Amity’s family the more competent you are at magic, the more good faith is bestowed on you. In her journal, Amity mentions how she can’t understand why no one else sees what Edric and Emira are like, and maybe she’s trying to be as good as a witch as she can to gain...status, leverage. Does she think if she’s more skilled, she’ll be believed more?

themattress replied to your post: “It’s the most perfect Spider-Man movie ever!”...

@huellbabineauxdefensesquad: Honestly, I may be wrong, but I can’t help but feel that a lot of the anti-MCU Spidey sentiment is coming from fans disgruntled about the genuine screw-ups of the 616 comics, especially in regards to Peter and MJ (OMD and onward), and since the people behind the comics refuse to fix this shit, fans want to look toward other mediums to do so and get upset at them when they don’t even when they are honestly under no obligation to.

Umm, they’re under an obligation to be a faithful adaptation if they’re calling their movie ‘Spider-Man’ and especially if they’re calling their love interest ‘MJ’. If they call her Felicia Hardy, I’m going to judge her as a take on Felicia Hardy, if they call her Gwen Stacy, I’m going to judge her as a take on Gwen Stacy. They wanted to have a ‘shocking twist’ consisting of a character who’s nothing like Mary Jane suddenly being ‘Mary Jane,’ so I’m going to judge them by the comparison they made. 

Also, Man of Steel and Batman V. Superman got shit for being unfaithful adaptations of Superman and Batman despite the comics doing okay by them at the time. I think Superman was still in Nu52 mode when MoS came out, which was a mixed bag, but people criticized Snyder’s take even though Clark and Lois were an item in the movie. You can’t chalk everything up to bitter shippers.

If mattress and eric were outright bullying apologists, anon would have MORE respect for them, because at least then they'd have "consistent principles." Instead they change the rules of morality depending on their likes and dislikes. For example, they held Willow 50% responsible for Amity's bullying because Willow was too self-deprecating in her response. But they also argued that Adora, just as self-deprecating, was NOT 50% responsible for Catra's bullying, because they like Adora better.

I would too, getting off their moral high ground would make them a lot more tolerable. They should also just admit they have certain preferences and kinks. Those examples just highlight how inconsistent their values are!

@themattress replied to your post “@themattress replied to your post “Did…they actually make Regina queen...”

YEP on Wish Henry - he and real Henry literally walk her down the aisle, arm in arm. (vomits)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I thought I was making a joke!

[intotheventures]

TheMattress and ultraeircthered/Agent Pierce were both notorious DP anime haters for years and praised BW for returning the anime to its roots (although not really), and both hated XY because they cannot handle competent Ash. Both used to cause arguements on TVtropes, Toonzone, bulbagarden/serebii, etc. for years. They have bias views for what a positive female role model is.

Not surprised they've caused arguments on other sites, and your last sentence is completely true as well. What was themattress' account name?

[intotheventures]

Another problem with themattress and ultraericthered: like many Millenials and Zoomers, those two have grown up in a modern world where if you're mistreated, you have options and allies. So they don't appreciate that in previous eras, you HAD no options: if you were an outcast and people were kicking you around, you got no support, you had to just take it, etc. So that's why themattress and ultraericthered can't understand (for example) why 1970s Candy Candy comes down so hard on Eliza Leagan.

Nuance (one of their favorite buzzwords) and context are so important!!! Unless it's inconvenient for them, then they can throw it out the window! These two are just too sheltered and coddled and have no sense of reality.

[intotheventures]

Which Chloe was the previous anon talking about? Are they talking about Chloe Bourgeois, the female bully from Miraculous Ladybug? That seems "out of character" for mattress and eric, usually THEY'RE the ones who like female bullies. Why would they call people delusional for liking Chloe...oh, wait, it must be for the same reason they hate Maki Harukawa. Because Chloe has a crush on Adrien, a boy, they can't put Chloe in a lesbian ship, so for once they want a female bully to face consequences.

They're so transparent it's pathetic. You just know if she didn't like Adrien, they would be gushing over her, even if everything else was the same, but canon doesn't validate their fantasy, which is the only reason they criticize basically anything. Their views are ultimately based on personal feelings.

[intotheventures]

Just a heads up beware of @themattress and @ultraericthered they have been harassing a lot of Chloé-sentric blogs as of lately and call people “delusional” for liking her just letting you know

They'll harass anyone that doesn't agree with them over the dumbest shit, I wish I could say this was surprising but it's the usual from them. Either way thanks for the warning! The only delusional ones are those two.

[intotheventures]

Since you mentioned that mattress and eric have the worst taste in female characters ever, one thing that's interesting is "the exception that proves the rule": remember anon mentioned Maki Harukawa from Danganronpa V3 in a previous ask? She's one of the few female jerks that mattress and eric unambiguously despise. And what separates Maki from other female jerks? She falls in love with Kaito, a man. So because they can't put Maki into a lesbian ship, SHE apparently deserves actual consequences.

This is proof they don't care about female characters as individuals, no matter what they say, just props to be molded into their personal fantasies.
