#btw this is a milestone for me! thirteen years on tumblr and this is the first ask like this i get!

[rafyki]

you: *sees people call yotha problematic*

you: but but but this OTHER character is worse!!! i didn’t even watch that whole part cuz idgaf but yeah still!!! focus on calling THAT one problematic and not my fave pls!

you: also btw i’m probs biased cuz i stan perth and can’t separate a fictional character from the actor portraying him 🤪 and i can’t just say why yotha isn’t so bad because i’m bad at staying on topic so i gotta bring up another character to deflect 🤪

anyway

the word “problematic” needs to enter retirement and also who cares who gets called that? it’s fiction and not everyone has to praise your fav just because u have rose colored glasses on for them <3

You know, anon, the beautiful thing about Tumblr is that we all have our own personal blog, where we can share our own ideas. Me, personally, I share my ideas and thoughts on my blog 🥰

You, I'm not sure if you're aware of it, have your own blog where you can share your own ideas! There was no need to come here on my blog to tell me what you think! I appreciate the effort, of course, but I would also appreciate it if you were a little nicer and a little less passive aggressive when trying to talk to people. I'm not that important in your life that you need to waste energy on being mean to me, I assure you. And a tv show definitely isn't important enough to go around and be mean to people in general.

Now, next time you feel the need to send a message like this, I suggest you look inside yourself, count to ten, and think "is this necessary? Is this how I would talk to someone I don't know in real life? What am I trying to accomplish with this?". And if the answers are "no", "no", and "I don't really know", I suggest you simply move on. Because I frankly don't think you were trying to get lectured when you thought of sending this to me.

If you really cannot keep these thoughts to yourself and you really want to share your thoughts with me, of course you can; but, as I said, be nicer about it, because no one will be open to discussion with you if you start by being aggressive. For example, you could have said "you know, I don't really think it's fair to compare Yotha with Arc, especially since you said you haven't watched all of the Arc part...."; and, in that case, I would have been happy to share all my thoughts and ideas about this, which are a lot more than what I wrote in the one-line text post you're referring to.

But, as things stand, the only thing you got with this ask is being lectured by me, which I don't think is all that funny
