Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

stans wanna eat their cake and have it so bad. it is either feyre has equal responsibilities as rhys as high lady therefore she is perfectly capable of ruling the nc in his absence (which she is not considering she doesn’t even know the damn laws) or feyre deserves to rest and that’s why she’s doing the little things while rhys does the big things therefore they are not equals. one or the other, both cannot be true at the same time. saying feyre is helping velaris proves absolutely nothing because she’s only helping a third of her court, it’s high lady of the night court not high lady of velaris. and the things she was doing to “help velaris” are giving very much first lady, which fine, nothing wrong with that, but don’t sit there and tell me she’s the president.

Let me be absolutely clear -- the problems with Tumblr will keep getting worse if the disabled minority and the trans people and the people frothing at the mouth at the opportunity to yell at a transphobe, keep @’ing staff and the developers on this site, tell them to kys, because in the meanwhile the transphobes and racists and white supremacists will keep using the actual tools Tumblr provides for blocking and reporting, further poisoning the datasets used for moderation, and encouraging the idea that using the official tools does nothing to basically ensure the only statistically meaningful data available to Automattic is poisoned, poisoned all the way down, poisoned beyond usability.

Hatespeech and bias needs to be reported for it to be considered statstically significant to act on from a developer point of view. Suicide baiting and spamming any of the official means of communication will get you eliminated as a spammer, even if you’re peppering legitimate criticism within your ventpost about how you hate the new thing. You are playing the TE/RFs game.

I honestly wonder what the budget for most major Nintendo games are because the guy in charge of Xenoblade is very grateful that a little over a million copies per game gets sold (and Xenoblade might be the biggest first-party Nintendo franchise in terms of pure scope and scale, dunno how it compares to BOTW and TOTK), while it just came out that the latest Ratchet and Clank game lost 8 million bucks after selling 2.2 million copies.

(I also acknowledge that Nintendo might not care too much about Xenoblade making much of a profit because the deal apparently is that the Xenoblade guys can do whatever they want as long as they provide dev support to the Nintendo pillar franchises, but still. They gotta be at least breaking even.)

This is a minor thing and I get why they didn't do it, but I was super disappointed that they didn't keep Ares' little fires for eyes thing. Like they've stripped all the gods and monsters of any real gravitas, but for me especially, the scene of Ares removing his sunglasses and there's just fire where his eyes should be has stuck with me for 15 years if that tells you anything about how absolutely hardcore of a character design that is

To this day I think that my proudest moment is that when I was 12 I sent an anonymous email to my pastor criticising how our church was spending money on stupid shit like making the building look nicer and paying the organist a stupidly high salary instead of using the money for charity and then she (the pastor) got incredibly pissed off about it because she thought the email was from someone on Session 😌

cancel culture is so wild to me, on one hand i agree the original intent of holding people with massive public platforms and influences of power accountable for being shitty because it can cause a lot of damage, but when it comes to like, small users online or people in real life over relatively banal issues like using a term you don't like, or being kind of an asshole, or engaging with a media you deem problematic in comparison to things like... real actual hate speech or predation? i'm sorta just like, if you can't tell me "hey that hurt my feelings/offended me and i think that was shitty" and me be able to either go "oh that's good to know i'm sorry i'll try to change my behavior" or "i don't really care" and both of us be able to move on with absolutely no further interaction in either instance, recognizing this is a small scale issue in the world, and without you needing to lead a harassment campaign against me to run me off the internet, then i'm really not the one with an behavioral problem that needs to be adjusted for the greater public good am i?
