every few months the f1 fanbase tries to bring back the "you should think logically about the success and prospects of the driver you support" discourse, as if the whole point of sports isn't about falling into a rabbit hole and basing your happiness on the results of athletes who don't even know you exist. it's about emotion.

can yall just dislike someone without bringing out your secret bigotry. sometimes you can just say "i don't like him" and go on with your day

Why did it take this long for fandom to start being normal(er) about BigB btw? How come I'm finally seeing art of him and inclusion in fics now, after secret life, the series that encouraged people to actually watch multiple povs? I wonder why, now, BigB's personality is being represented as more than just double life angst fodder and/or guy who is so generic he can be placed in literally any scenario to act as any character type.
It's almost as if the mcyt fandom won't interact with or respect certain creators unless practically forced to. Huh. I wonder why that is. I wonder.

i’m really sorry but i’ll never be convinced that matt is more personable or likeable than cory. i feel like the fact that so many people truly believe that is some sort of pretty person bias or something

"these behaviors are unacceptable and unforgivable and people never change so anyone guilty of this must be cut out of your life and society forever" vs. "literally everyone is capable of these behaviors and does them and you cannot pretend that you are innocent of these things" deathmatch

on the one hand, yeah, how you treat individual characters isnt indicative of how you treat real people.
but on the other hand, if you're consistently putting aside black characters, female characters, and transgender characters in favor of white, male, cisgender characters, assuming a cast of equal proportions, that is indicative of something!

what is it with tumblr polls and being able to awake the vilest discourse not seen since the darkest of the times of this website
like these days it's always the polls that do it
you open the notes and holy shit people really *still* live like this
but at least reading this shit is funny
also i did vote for the girls, because it's also funny, that being said, both sides of the discourse are annoying, have my favorite reaction pictures

Fangirls love to defend their shitty taste by saying that in romance novels male characters are kind to the heroine, and you know how we all know it's true with how they simp for the most abusive and fucked up romance but there's not only that
Fangirls obviously care about appearance but also about the "loyalty" of a male character. It's why it's ok that he treat the heroine they self insert in like shit, because they're still obsessed with her which is still attention
In romance I constantly see the second male lead being stanned not because he is better written than the first male lead but just because his character IS to be in love, so his only goal in life is to have the heroine, contrary to the male lead who dare have a life outside of her
At the end, it's just desire of being obsessed over by a hot guy, more he have nothing in his life than his obsession better he is

am I the weird one for saying my power fantasies never involve men apologizing for doing something disrespectful in the misogynistic way? You can misbehave on purpose, you can ask for punishment because you feel you did something wrong, you can even give permission for me to do some behavioral correction, but my personal fantasies just never involve teaching a man to be respectful because I'm a woman. Gender is separate from biologic sex and shouldn't be what defines any kind of roles...
