what's funny about this vid is that I first heard about this happening from known liar Vera... ya know what she said about this moment?:
https://twitter.com/raths_kitten/status/1782059279358231030
Ricky interrupted and danced. Rob is happy. „Best bachelor party ever!“ But Ricky is just dancing on Jared who‘s not amused. I think Rob is jealous. 😆 #jib14
So ofc as a Rob fan she saw Rob just standing there watching and decided he was "happy" and "jealous" because ofc she needs him to want men. But Jared, who is both involved and plays along (starts to take his shirt off, gives Ricky the fan, etc) in her mind was "not amused" because she can't admit he would be comfortable with another man dancing on him (except this isn't even the first time something like this has happened and Jared has never looked uncomfortable).
Proof that people like Vera tweet according to their biases and you can't take anything they post as accurate.
We all know Jared is down to play along with stuff like that, we've seen it before, but since it doesn't fit the Jared-haters narrative they have to lie, even when there's video evidence to the contrary.
Problem is, since most of the Jared-haters have so many other con-goers blocked (or have been blocked), they're never going to see the video, or they won't want to, and they'll just take Vera's account as truth, thus perpetuating even more lies.

Unmasking the Puppeteers: How U.S. Government-Funded Analysts Shape South Asia's Narrative
In the swirling world of geopolitics, the narratives we consume often come from voices we trust. But what if those voices, presenting themselves as independent experts, are subtly tethered to the very governments they discuss? It’s time to pull back the curtain on two of the most influential American pundits on South Asia, Derek Grossman and Michael Kugelman, and expose the hidden strings of U.S.…

It has come to light that PBS Newshour, a publicly funded news organization,
has been using taxpayer money to conduct polls that support their own biased narratives. This raises serious concerns about the integrity and objectivity of their reporting. As taxpayers, we expect our hard-earned money to be used for the greater good, not to further a specific agenda.
The use of polling data to imply a connection between the events of January 6th and the energy surrounding former President Trump is not only misleading but also manipulative. It is clear that PBS Newshour is attempting to push their own narrative by cherry-picking data that supports their biased views. This kind of partisan approach goes against the principles of journalism and undermines the trust that the public places in news organizations.
The fact that public funds are being misused in this manner is deeply concerning. Taxpayers have a right to expect transparency and accountability from the organizations they fund. Instead, PBS Newshour is using our money to further their own agenda, without any regard for journalistic standards or impartiality.
As citizens, we must demand better from our news organizations. We deserve news that is unbiased, objective, and rooted in truth. It is imperative that we hold PBS Newshour accountable for their misuse of taxpayer funds and their blatant attempt to manipulate public opinion. Only by demanding transparency and integrity can we ensure that our voices are heard and that journalism remains a pillar of democracy.

"jason was better off dead and haunting the narrative" he was an afterthought brought up as nothing more than a cautionary tale for the vast majority of his appearances while he was dead. very rarely was he ever brought up with love or with the memory of he really was as a person at the forefront. you can just say you don't like jason instead of pretending jason was respected while he was dead
#the whole era was mostly jason as he was in the 80s being shoved into a closet and then disrespected. what part of that should jason fans#have enjoyed more than how jason now (alive) has the ability to take back the narrative. the writing's not the best but it Could be#which is a better chance than when only other ppl with biases (batman with his grief or tim with his sense of inadequacy) could spin his#story however fit best with their own narrative.#so no i dont think the panels of his case once every few years with maybe a line about how much less reckless tim is was ever better

Correct me if I’m wrong but Nesta, Lucien and Tamlin are the only characters that actually show remorse for their wrongdoings and apologize and they’re coincidentally the most hated characters in the acotar fandom…
#people dont see that most if not all characters have done awful things#but these characters never feel bad about what they do and never apologize#rhysand only ever justifies his wrongdoings NEVER apologizes#people really get biased by the narrative#pro lucien vanserra#pro nesta archeron#pro tamlin#anti rhysand#anti inner circle#acotar critical

OP / inktober day 14 : castle Prints are available for this and all proceeds will be donated to Anera for their relief efforts in Palestine. If you don't want to buy the print, please consider making a donation anyway.
ramble time. i'm still recovering from a fever but i wanted to finish this one asap. figuring out the composition took a while though and i had to resketch it all.
I also had to modify the original idea just a little bit to fit as a call for donation, and then got sad about it bc im weak but at least that was good for my sinuses
#one piece#one piece fanart#nico robin#tony tony chopper#inktober#illustration#im mostly sticking to preTS designs for these bc im biased#unless it serves narrative purpose i.e. a happier robin for this one

me whenever i see people write off annabeth as an annoying and controlling and crazily jealous girlfriend with anger issues. understanding that the foundation of the rhetoric is based off of annabeth's behavior toward percy and rachel is tbotl and tlo. except annabeth's behavior in those books is soley due to the surplus amount of traumatic experiences she's had. ranging from her parents neglecting to care for her well-being when spiders attacked her in the middle of the night as a seven-year-old. to watching everyone she's ever dared to care for die, abandon, or leave her for a better option. so it's much more likely than annabeth was expressing great mental and emotional distress during a period of her life where it was uncertain if the boy she loved would drop dead on his sixteenth birthday. on top of having to uphold a reputation as the best strategist at camp half-blood and devise a plan to fight in a war and save the world before she's a sophomore in high school. so the notion that annabeth is an abusive and toxic individual lacks the consideration that maybe she was just a child forced to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders at all times.
#why must people insist her values be based on her mistakes and imperfections?#to not acknowledge the nuances of annabeth's life and write her off as abusive is incredibly inconsiderate#particularly since that narrative is based of the behavior she present as a literal child#sometimes it feels people fail to consider that her familiarity rests in close relationships doomed to fail#that she only knew how to fight to survive before she knew how to love#and that she's a growing individual who actively works to improve herself#to reduce this annabeth to bounds of the narrative and deny her a positive character arc portrays a lack of empathy for her circumstance#you don't have to like her as a character#but to ignore her upbringing while praising other characters for overcoming their is incredibly biased#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#annabeth chase#we stan the daughter of athena#we stan a legend#we stan annabeth chase#forever and always#annabeth#annabeth is a legend#annabeth is incredible#annabeth is amazing#i love annabeth chase

Tempted to write a replaced au twst fic where Yuu (or alternatively, I'll use my Yuu, Riyuu, who is basically who I'm writing this for) used to be the cutest girl around, the cheery one who's always around everyone, the one you can't seem to dislike even if your crush falls for her because she earnestly says sorry (even though it's not her fault) and will always help you out if you need her back in her old school. But one day, a new girl comes around and her whole reputation got destroyed. She helps the new girl adjust, tells her all the rumours and introduces her to all the popular kids. But the girl ends up backstabbing her, telling the popular girls rumours about how she intentionally plays up the act to steal their crushes to her, and lies to the boys, telling them she's just playing with their hearts and that she's a horrible person.
Yuu ends up alone and excluded, being seen as "annoying" and only having a few close friends who doesn't really interact with her in public in fear of their reputation being ruined. She ends up miserable at school, and wishes to not go anymore. But one day comes a saving grace, she gets whisked by a mysterious black carriage into Twisted Wonderland, or more specifically, Night Raven College. She doesn't mind working if it meant she doesn't have to deal with her old school, there was still 1 and a half years left of school and she doesn't want to deal with all ghe group projects to be assigned that will inevitably end with everyone not wanting to team up with her. Plus, as annoying Grim is, he's like the animal friend all of the anime and storybook protagonists she knows has, and she doesn't mind him too much.
Some things did change after she and Grim got officially enrolled, but she had no problem adapting to the social expectations of the world, part time jobs with Sam -- and occasionally the canteen -- paid enough to get her tools for cooking basic but delicious food, and new friends without the weight of her past helped her get settled comfortably.
The existence of Overblots stunned her for a bit, but a peek into Riddle and Leona's memories helped her understand the concept, even if just a little. However, things began to change eerily simlarly to her old school when a new girl comes, also in a similar position to her, getting transported to a new, unfamilliar world, and seemingly hailing from a similar world to the Earth she knows. She warmly welcomes her, eager to finally befriend another girl, but it seems that the girl does not share the same enthusiasm.
The girl only barely responds to Yuu's attempts at forming a friendship, and always seems to talk her in a condescending way, and often dismisses her, and especially so whenever there are any boys around.
Yuu will not deny any statements claiming she's an attention seeker or that she plays up her sweet innocent girl act, but she knows to never, ever sacrifice a bystander for it. But if someone insists on war with her... well that's another, different story. She's learnt her lesson of being overly optimistic, and she will not make the same mistake twice. She will not let her make her life a living hell more than it already is with Crowley's irresponsibleness.
Aaand thus begins the story. Or well, however you wanna continue it. I'm honestly in favour of most Housewardens (Kalim, Vil, and Idia in particular. I'll put my reasoning in a few paragraphs down) Adeuce, Tweels, and Ortho for team Yuu. Why?
Well, first of all, Adeuce. This is mostly because the duo is like. with Yuu since Day 1, as much of a bitch as Ace is, I think those two are the most likely to trust and know Yuu well enough to not believe the lies R (< Replacer) tells. Especially Deuce, he doesn't want to betray a friend he knew for quite a while, that would not be very honor student-like of him!! And she helped him out in a lot of situations too! He doesn't want to hurt you after all the trouble you go through to help him, and also knowing how horrible your living conditions are. Ace would most likely give in to peer pressure if the student body is overwhelmingly in favour of R, but as of now, he maybe enjoys your company just a bit more than R. Just a bit, promise.
Tweels I feel like is self-explanatory. Those two are perceptive as fuck istg it scares me. Jade especially. I feel like the two would just toy with R for a bit despite her facade and lies before dropping her after she bothers them for attention and favours one too many times.
(Ortho ties in with Idia so I'll explain him in Idia's paragraph)
Kalim is actually very emotionally intelligent. He can come off annoying and stupid, but from all the scenes I see of him, he's actually really good at dealing with people. Have you seen how he deals with the Scarabia residents after Jamil's OB??? The way he phrases his sentences?? He didn't force or even plead with them to forgive Jamil, he simply asks them to wait before making permanent judgements, and I think he's gonna be uncomfy with how condescendingly R talks to Yuu, and even if he's used to people going after him for money, I feel like R mostly eyeing him for money and how she "secretly" sighs in annoyance everytime she goes out of the party for a "bathroom break" will only solidify his dislike/discomfort, even if he doesn't show it.
Vil is also kind of self-explanatory if you read into his character and not just the shell the official English localization makes for him. (I could rant for hours about how the official tl portrays his character istg. He's hardworking and he actually didn't attempt to poison Neige out of pure jealousy, he did it because he felt like all his efforts to be beautiful will never be able to surpass Neige, who, in his eyes, always seemed to be innocent and naturally beautiful. He feels like the villain in Neige's story. He feels like he is reduced to what he often plays as, a snobbish, overconfident villain obsessed with overthrowing the hero. And because of it, it became a twisted self-fulfilling prophecy, pushing him to, in a fit of despair, be that same villain everyone sees him as.) I really don't think he will take well to R's condescension to Yuu, who genuinely wants to befriend R. (I actually have a whole thing in my head where Yuu and Vil occasionally have sleepovers where they do skincare together after the whole VDC thing happened. I feel like this is also a "vent sesh" of sorts for the both of them, just to air out their grievances without much seriousness, and I think Yuu would admit to wanting a fellow girl in the school that she could befriend, since no matter what, being the only girl can be exhausting.) Ik Vil's not a girl but he is such a girls' girl istg.
Idia... this mostly ties into Ortho and The STYX Incident, but like,, I think we can all agree on this one,, Idia is smart and capital V Very pessimistic. Would you rather trust the girl you've known for a while, who saw your memories, who helped you in awkward social situations when she can and is besties with your brother or some random new girl who trash talks said girl behind her back? The former, right? Plus, even if Yuu did only hang out with him and his brother because she likes to secretly laugh at him behind his back, there's mo guarantee R wouldn't do the same, given his experience. And he would rather have someone who actively helps him and his brother out than someone who wouldn't.
I didn't put Malleus in because of how canon him actually treats Yuu. I feel like the fandom kind of put on rose-tinted glasses on with his character, and kind of ignored some things like, idk... him just leaving them to fend for themselves homeless during Octavinelle... maybe he thought Crowley would offer them a place to stay but like... I'm still bothered by how didn't atleast offer a spare room in Diasomnia. He's a housewarden goddamnit. He's not as distant or scary as the rumours say but like. still rubbed me the wrong way.
Anyways I don't think my attention span will let me write it to completion so if anyone likes this and wants to write it feel free. Pls tag me if you do tho. I would love to read it :3
#was listening to all eyes on me while writing this btw#You can also insert an Obey Me crossover with Replaced AU on that end that also ended horribly#“First' the worst; maybe third's the charm!”#I don't play Obey Me though so I can't rlly construct the narrative for that one#Also I don't hate Malleus nor Malleyuu I swear#I just think we're a bit biased with his actions sometimes...#Anyways if anyone wants to just ditch the school for RSA#Valid. You're 100% valid#I just got attached to Adeuce Kalim and Vil lol#I would just run to RSA if I ever get the chance tho#Fuck Crowley noone likes Crowley 🙂😇#twisted wonderland#twst#Do I tag twst x reader???#fuck it why not it's literally based on an entire angst au anyways#twst x reader#twisted wonderland x reader#replaced au#twst replaced au#twisted wonderland replaced au#okay enough tags I'm tired#I'm not gonna tag the specific characters mentioned#I'm too tired and I don't wanna :3#Also R is used for Replacer for this entire thing sorry#I haven't played twst for a long; looooong while but I like some of the boys too much to let go [sigh]#Also just bc it's fun to think about#Waiting for Limbus or HSR to get updated so take some twst brainrot in the meantime#I love Villainess manhwas#Ofc I would love Replaced AUs

I've come to the conclusion that being assigned the fandom-mandated "sunshine character" is the worst possible fate a character could face
#maybe I'm just biased because the characters that this happens to tend to be some of my favorites but I think I'm onto something#these characters aren't allowed depth of emotion or complex inner worlds. once a character is fanonized as the 'ray of sunsine'#or the 'cinnamon roll' they cease to occupy any space outside of that role in fanon content. they're happy & silly & not much else#no matter how much depth they may actually have in canon.#popular fanon has a tendency to treat happiness & goodness like states without any emotional complexity.#emotional complexity is reserved for the anti-heroes & jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold you see.#atp 'X is a ray of sunshine' has begone to feel like code for 'I don't actually care about this character very much nor do I understand#their canon narrative so I'm just gonna ignore them 98% of the time. but hey they're really nice! that's something! anyways—'#this is about many characters but I particularly want to call out aang & nightcrawler / kurt wagner as two who get this the worst.#because christ the mischaracterization they get from people who never think about them outside of the 'uwu small bean' box is infuriating#also steven universe & miles morales. although it's not so bad for steven after suf#fandom bs#please pretend I typed 'begun' a few tags back

sorry if this makes me an evil bigot but people arent entitled to mindlessly follow your beliefs or tolerate bad behaviour/attitudes just because you have more oppressed lables than them.
People should be able to lable idiocy and cruelty when they they see it and being a minority doesnt make it so you cant use your hardships to be manipulative, spout vile horrible things or say things that are simply not true
Its honestly why sj tumblr is such a toxic mess. Its ran by crybullies who despise honest communication and constructive community building. Its just 'im automatically right when i tell someone ~less oppressed~ than me anything and they cant question me. If they do theyre speaking over me and oppressing me by disagreeing"
'Listen to x voices' should mean not automatically disregarding a female, gay, black, asian etc persons views, and not that people should grovel and defer to others because they said so.
#Lgbt#Poc#Social justice#Feminism#Leftism#Rightism#Politics#Yeah its painful to hear but... manipulative people will use anything they can to manipulate#Be it 'im privileged so i automatically know better'#Or 'im oppressed so youre hurting me by not obeying'#Off topic but its similar to why i believe abuse of women by men and abuse of men by women are both belittled#Abusers are manipulators first and foremost who can draw you into a narrative#Be it 'crazy hysterical woman' or 'shameful weak man' theyll do whatever it takes to play off certain biases on the people around them and#They do it well rant over

Mistranslations that aren't, part 2
Part 1 here. I didn't catch all the misinformation in this thread the first time, so I'm back for a second round.
つまり、オマエラには帰る場所なんてもうないんだ。In short, there's no place for you bastards (omaera) to return to. だから外に出ても無意味なんだよ。So there's no point in going outside.
Omaera, the plural form of omae, is a very crude way to address someone. It's the same word Monokuma uses that has been consistently translated as "you bastards" throughout the series. Kokichi normally uses the more polite kimi, the plural form being kimitachi, so him suddenly switching to omaera is an indication of how he's aligning himself with Monokuma and the mastermind at this point in the story. Translating it as "you bastards" is more than appropriate, is what I'm saying.
王馬くん・・・これって単純に、Ouma-kun... this means he's simply 僕で遊んでるだけ・・・ だよな? playing with me... right?
So, I finally found the line I think the OP was referring to. The reason I couldn't find it before? Because their "translation" is so incredibly off that it went straight over my head. 単純 carries the meanings pure, simple, straightforward, but here, 単純に is like the English purely. You use に for adjectives the same reason you use -ly in English. They mistook Shuichi's junsuini, meaning purely or simply, as him calling Kokichi himself pure. The context for this, by the way, is Shuichi wondering whether Kokichi is serious about killing him.
にしし、 それはね... Nishishi, well... 親を殺して組織を乗っ取ったんだ。I took over the organization by killing my parents.
大丈夫、嘘に決まってるじゃん。Don't worry, I'm lying of course.
殺したのは兄貴だよ! The one I killed was my older brother!
I... don't even know how to explain this one since it's so straightforward. 殺したのは = one that was killed, followed immediately by 兄貴 = older brother. There's no mention of parents in this last sentence. Maybe because Kokichi doesn't explicitly but rather implicitly refer to himself they got confused? I honestly don't know. It's also in response to Shuichi asking how he took over his organization, so Kokichi's response to that being "my brother killed my parents!" does not connect.
#new danganronpa killing harmony#danganronpa killing harmony#danganronpa v3#drv3#ndrv3#kokichi ouma#ouma kokichi#saihara shuichi#shuichi saihara#danganronpa#translation bs#fandom bs#in all seriousness though please stop spreading that thread#it's unfortunate how much damage it's already done in influencing fans#this person clearly has biases and a narrative they want to push#and rather than questioning it most people just went “yeah this must be true because NISA is evil”

i saw a post yesterday i think that was like "dnd got easier when i realized i was the author and not the character" and im still baffled about it like. is that not how you play every game?? you think when i play settlers of catan or monopoly or whatever i'm playing the way i, the human person would realistically react? no!! i am making cutthroat alliances with the other players at the table just for the Drama of it all when we all inevitably betray each other. are yall out here playing boardgames or even videogames as if you suddenly got isekai'd into them??
#i mean maybe im biased as a theater kid#but i'm never ''myself'' in a board game even when there isn't really an in-game narrative#i am doing things that i think will be fun not Correct or heaven forbid MORAL
