#anti-ad blocking

[jolikmc-thoughts]

Oh, do go on, Mr. YouTube.

As a matter of fact, if ad blockers "violate YouTube terms of service", or "aren't allowed on YouTube", and YouTube is owned and operated by Google, LLC… then why, exactly, do you allow ad blockers to be downloaded directly from your own Google Web Store?

Chekkumeito, da.

You’re invited to the…

PROFIC PARTY!

I made a list of prompts to use across two weeks. You can do moodboards, stimboards, icons, banners, writing, art, or any other creative thing! For ships, feel free to use ships from any fandom or selfships! You can skip days, do multiple things for one day, or anything else that you’d prefer. Tag your works with #profic party, and/or @ me, and I’ll reblog it here!

WEEK ONE:

Day 1: Your OTP.

Day 2: Your favorite character(s).

Day 3: Your most problematic ship.

Day 4: A rarepair that you like (or a selfship that you don’t talk about often).

Day 5: A crossover ship (or a crossover of two things that you love).

Day 6: A poly ship.

Day 7: A character that you like from media that you aren’t otherwise interested in.

WEEK TWO:

Day 8: Any character or ship, themed after your favorite season.

Day 9: A character or ship from media that you loved as a child.

Day 10: A platonic ship.

Day 11: A character or ship that exemplifies your favorite trope.

Day 12: A headcanon that is basically canon in your mind.

Day 13: Any character or ship at their ideal party.

Day 14: Free day! Make whatever your heart desires.

why is every trans person’s pinned post like ‘hi i’m amy (she/her) 26, i like posting about baking and fallout’

and then every terf’s pinned post is like Men Are Inherently Evil, Trans Women Are Demons Sent From Hell to Kill You, and Trans Men Do Not Exist: a 70,000 word manifesto

Friendly reminder that I hate Billy Hargrove and do not ship him with anyone and never will, I'm glad the racist character died and his character did not have a redemption arc.

[idkwhatimdoingbutslay]

… I can’t imagine that we actually watched the same show. Like I REALLY AISNSOSNWKMEJDND

hold on I’m gonna need to calm down.

Let me just make a list of why I disagree and at least organize my anger. Long post incoming.

Vander was friends and had a deal with Grayson. The sheriff. Idk what else to even add to that

Caitlyn is more than a cop and Arcane isn’t copaganda. Genuinely don’t know what kind of progress some of these people are looking for. Real allies are a necessity for real progress.

SILCO IS A CLASS TRAITOR. HE FUNNELLED DRUGS INTO THE UNDERCITY AND PUT POOR KIDS IN FACTORIES FOR THAT DRUG FOR PROFIT!!! HE PAID THE ENFORCERS TO LET HIM DO IT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE

Vi is not as much as an activist as you would like to believe

WHY IS EKKO NEVER EVER BROUGHT UP IN THESE CONVERSATIONS????

Silco was not good for the Undercity

Silco was not a great guy. Ekko had to build an entire separate hidden community for the people he hurt and stepped on for his own benefit

Caitlyn is ignorant and naive. That’s ok. That’s what character development is for.

Loving imperfect characters like Silco and Jinx then hating characters like Vi and Caitlyn is peak media illiteracy to me

FOR THE LAST TIME: VI DIDNT ABANDON POWDER!!!!! Silco literally wanted Vi DEAD for trying to stop him from killing Vander??? How could you possibly say silco was there for jinx when Vi refused to be???? SHE WAS IN PRISON BECAUSE OF HIM???

Silco’s manipulation is working wonders on y’all

Embracing all the outrage without at all looking out for the people harmed by bigotry is not activism

SILCO IS A CLASS TRAITOR x929282929394

Caitlyn was the first person in years to show Vi kindness and care. She listened and stuck by her and took care of her after Vi was locked up for years and beat up by cops (i wonder what led her to be thrown in there?). Cait being a cop stopped being a point of contention once Vi recognized her naivety and genuineness.

NUANCE NUANCE NUANCE. ITS NEVER EVER BLACK AND WHITE

The only way I can see Vi touching ‘class traitor’ in season one was the shimmer raid. Guess who the hell put those kids in there in the first place.

Just hanging out with Caitlyn isn’t being a class traitor if Vander’s allowed to be friends with Grayson.

Critical thinking is very necessary for watching shows like Arcane

What the hell did Silco really do for the Undercity???? What changed over the 7(ish) years he was basically in power of the place? All I’ve heard was he made the air cleaner, which would be great except for, you know, shimmer and the child factory workers

Jinx is unwell and feeding into it like this in a fully serious manor would not help Arcane as a show at all

What do you want Arcane’s message as a full show to be? ‘Screw cops’? That’s a little boring and unproductive isn’t it?

CAN WE TALK ABOUT EKKO AND HIS IMPACT PLEASE???? x9382728283

Caitlyn is trying to make Piltover and Zaun a better place. Is that not allowed? Am I missing something?

Caitlyn and Vi’s arcs have only just started. Season one is basically fully set up except for characters like silco and Jinx. This is far from the end.

Genuinely think Vander would appreciate Vi for being friends (using this term loosely because they are in love) with Caitlyn considering he was the one who was opposed to war and Vi wasn’t.

Silco should NOT be your idea of Undercity independence and respect. He oppressed the Undercity the same way the Council and the Enforcers did. He helped no one but himself, his team (barely) and Jinx.

You’re allowed to like and dislike any character you want but pretending like Silco is better for the Undercity than others is just so ridiculous to me. Everyone is of course completely allowed to like Silco, but we can’t pretend like he’s this stand up guy. If you have to pretend like he was, maybe you don’t like him as much as you think.

“Because Cait’s pretty” is also incredibly incorrect. Go check point #14.

Vi never stopped loving and caring for Powder. Powder’s mental health issues were amplified and utilized by Silco because he couldn’t even heal himself.

If all of your opinions of Caitlyn and Vi start and end with “cops suck” and “class traitor” then you genuinely don’t respect Arcane as a show enough to show you nuance.

The misinterpretation of characters is just so … it’s like you go out of your way to love and/or hate characters no matter how much they show you who you are.

Your closed mindedness is clouding your judgement and making you out to seem like you don’t actually want the Undercity’s triumph, you want Silco and Jinx’s, even if it means ruining the Undercity. And that would be fine because father/daughter evil duo but trying to say you’re all for this duo because you want what’s better for the Undercity when they continue to hurt it is simply not correct and very harmful (to fictional characters in a fictional universe 😭)

Only being able to understand how Silco and Jinx were oppressed and therefore should be able to not just destroy Piltover but also Zaun is not the eat you think it is

Why is Viktor never called a class traitor? I think he's great (I also think Silco and Jinx are wonderfully written) but we hardly saw him in the Undercity/ interact with people from the Undercity plus he killed someone (Sky) from there (accidentally)

EDIT TO ADD ANOTHER POINT: Caitlyn has shown little to NO malicious intent and has no real negative impacts other than Jinx’s attachment issues and insecurities being amplified by her mere existence. Again, this is her story and development. Throughout the season she is exposed to reality and recognizes her and her peers/ families wrongs. I have no idea what you want from this character. Should Piltover just be gotten rid of in the story? Then what? Should Caitlyn have just never gotten involved and continued to embrace her privilege? Should she have left Vi in prison and stay ignorant?

Why in the hell am I seeing someone defend CRISPY F*CKIN COLE of all people on my feed? Gtfo.

Criston Cole is a misogynistic incel and a piece of trash. He was not "used and abused" by Rhaenyra and Alicent just to be discarded by them after (can't believe bitches got me defending ALICENT over here but here we are).

Criston Cole was disgusting. He made the choice to sleep with Rhaenyra, don't even argue "b-but she was the Princess and had more pOwEr" with me. Criston knew what he was doing. Rhaenyra was a young girl who was drunk and riled from Daemon. Criston took advantage of that fact and continued to sleep with her. He could have left, he could have shoved past her or shouted or did something to stop her if he truly wanted to. But let's be honest here- Criston didn't want to run from Rhaenyra. He wanted to sleep with her. He fully gave his consent after only, what? 5 seconds? He was kissing up on her, removing his armor and her clothes, and had her on that bed consensually. He wasn't "forced" into shit.

Let's also remember the fact in the books he was lusting after a little girl he had watched grow up since she was 8 years old? But yeah guys, sure, go ahead and defend the incel misogynist and groomer/pedo just because "pOoR mAn pAiN cRiStOn hAd cOnSeNsUaL sEx wItH tWo PoWeRfUl WoMeN". Jfc. Get a damn grip and reevaluate yourself if this is what it's come to.

Alicent also didn't use or abuse Criston. He had consensual sex with her just as he had with Rhaenyra. It was him who shoved Alicent against the wall and then was making moves with her in season 2. He had the power and strength to stop her and remove himself from the situation, but he didn't. He was Hand of the King during this moment, mind you, so he definitely had the power then to reject Alicent and walk away. YET HE DIDN'T. HE KISSED HER. HE SLEPT WITH HER. HE WANTED IT JUST AS MUCH AS SHE DID. STOP TRYING TO DEFEND THIS MAN.

I hate this fandom sometimes.

Honestly, the Community Notes on Twitter were such a good idea. Tumblr should really implement something similar considering the reading comprehension and doom scrolling issues on this site.

Oh, and btw, apparently, no, YouTube is not frying your CPU for having an adblocker installed. Basically every article reporting on it has updated showing that AdBlock and AdBlock Plus were the issues.

They pushed a bad update that caused excessive CPU usage. Other ad blockers like uBlock Origin were not affected. So, like, once again, a non-uBlock ad blocker was the source of the issue, not YouTube strengthening its anti-ad block measures. Who's surprised? Not me.

is the curse of hatred a nature or nurture case? I definitely don't think all of the uchiha are prone to this, nor are all of the ones who fall into this probably under the curse of rheirr own will

Red Links are my own posts, Blue Links are posts belonging to other users or external links. Please read them - they add a lot of context.

That depends on what you believe Kishimoto intended when he wrote chapter 619 as well as your personal headcanons. I'll start with what Kishimoto most likely intended and then explain my own headcanon on the matter.

If you remember my previous posts about the Curse of Hatred, Tobirama, and Kishimoto's Intent, you might remember that I believe that Kishimoto likely intended for the Curse of Hatred to be real in canon - rather than a racist propaganda piece. As you might also remember, this raises a lot of red flags for me.

But yeah, Kishimoto probably unironically pulled the "evil fantasy race" card and there is likely an element of nature involved.

But now, let's also remind ourselves that not every Uchiha falls victim to the Curse of Hatred. As explained in my post about the curse of hatred, there are Uchihas actively rejecting any clinging to hatred. Furthermore, Obito frames it as a "nindo" which is a choice (or well, as much as it could possibly be a choice if you are influenced by the people around you) and could potentially be informed by the individual's culture. So that does also imply a nurture component.

But since Uchihas are capable of breaking free from the curse (and Uchihas who don't have strong ties to their clan), it stands to reason that the nurture component is stronger than the nature one.

Now, back to my own headcanon. Also in my post about Kishimoto's intent, I talked about "authorial intent" and how it shouldn't stop us from forming our own headcanons, as long as we retain awareness about the authorial intent (you know, to prevent making up lies and stuff).

My personal preferred headcanon in this is the idea that Zetsu intentionally messed with the Uchiha Clan's history as this is heavily supported by chapter 681 as well as Hagoromo's personal perception which places the reincarnation cycle at the centre of Madara's hatred.

In my post on the Curse of Hatred, I illustrated that the prejudice targeting Uchihas might have emerged thanks to Zetsu repeatedly driving Indra's reincarnates to war against Ashura reincarnates. After Konoha was founded, that prejudice developed into fear (thanks to Zetsu manipulating Madara, who manipulated Obito, who released the Kyubi) and set off a chain reaction of events. That fear caused the Uchiha clan to be targets of Konoha's leaders until they ended up killed, eventually leading to Sasuke swearing vengeance against the Leaf.

In my preferred interpretation, it is neither nature nor nurture but simply the target painted on the backs of Uchihas which took its origin in Zetsu.

ah. that's ian flynn hate in the silver tag. okay

Welp youtube is fucking me over again with the anti ad block. Ublock is slipping rn and idk how long it will be until an update.

So yeah fuck youtube i hope they get slapped with a class action for this.

You say that you don't force your precious theory on others but that's what you're doing. Not everyone WANTS to believe in a same theory.

Im not forcing a theory ON others, Im talking WITH others about a theory we like and have fun with. Sad that you dont know what the damn difference is!

I say all the time I dont care if people dont like the theory or disagree with me AS LONG as they dont attack me over my opinion and leave me and other dfo fans alone. Thats why what tags are there for. If I would want to force my opinion on others I wouldnt tag my stuff so people HAVE TO see it and dont have a chance to block it! If someone neither blocks the dfo tag OR me that simply shows that they WANT to see my posts and WANT to interact with me even if its in a negative way. Unlike YOU I dont go to other peoples inbox or comment sections of their posts if I hate the stuff they are writing about. I blocked all the tags I dont want to see, blocked all the people I dont want to interact with and NEVER write an ask to someone to attack, insult or shame them!

And the fact that YOU still havent blocked either me or the dfo tag shows that YOU want to argure with me and force YOUR negative opinion Im not interested in on me and other dfo fans!! Stop blaming others for something YOU do! You are not sitting on a moraly higher horse then anyone else and your fake morale code doesnt make you a better person and the fact that you try to shame people over liking a simple theory nobody harms and even stalks them like the weirdo you are and you do with me, is the prove!
