They turned Narinder into the good guy by comparison.

That's what Unholy Alliance did. By confirming that Narinder was sealed because he was resurrecting his followers, thus making the other bishops jealous of his power, Jojo made Narinder into the victim and the bishops into the victimizers.

That's why TV Tropes entrys like this exist now.

"He used to be nice, but then his big bad siblings sealed him away, and now he's mean"

It's almost as if this was tailor-made to cater to Narinder woobifiers. I genuinely fear for the story's future.

I saw a take that said readers who won't read WIPs are unfairly seeking instant gratification and I swear to god I have never felt more like "that's it, I have aged out of fandom, these are not my people anymore."

"Oh, I've never seen Christmas candles like that before."

You still haven't.

Whoa! Are there any... implications of this? If it is absolutely true that everyone who does not already support a universal healthcare system thinks that some people who get sick and can't pay deserve to die, what does that mean for sharing a body politic with people who are both evil and perfectly smooth liars, telling you semi-coherent oppositions that must, according to this fuckface, be planned and malicious lies?

Nothing? It's just inculcating the belief that everyone outside the group of "progressives" or "leftists" is evil, with none of them being ignorant or misguided? Hoo wee!

i'd probably be pretty interested in my American Literature class if i didn't find reading Puritan religious nonfiction slightly uncomfortable and the teacher making the class almost insufferably uninteresting which is kind of a big deal for someone with ADHD like myself

Triton has Intermittent Explosive Disorder and it's clearly not being treated. Yeah, no shit she wanted away from him, he's got problems and he can't break anything neat she finds on land. I'm not sure I can think of ANY teenagers who'd want to hang out with an unwell parent who sometimes snaps and breaks everything.

The discussion around Ariel TheLittleMermaid baffles me bc if my dad literally destroyed a bunch of stuff I collected in front of me in a terrifyingly violent display of anger and I had a witch offer me an out if I could score the boy I thought was hot, my name would be on that dotted line before you can say "poor unfortunate soul". What do you mean she's stupid, her dad ravaged her Special Interest Cave like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, I would also run the fuck away

can we like, have adaptations made by people who care about the thing they're adapting

Now that Eurovision is over, I want you all, especially the Americans, to take a good hard look at how the voting results turned out when people boycotted the event.

In the UK, the viewing figures were down about 2 million people compared to last year. Up to 2 million people made the conscious decision to not watch and not vote because of Israel's inclusion.

The final results of the public vote, Israel came in first place in the UK and got 12 points. Because the only people watching and voting were people who backed Israel or at least didn’t care one way or another.

This doesn't matter. It's a music contest. The boycott was still the right thing to do because it is just a show at the end of the day, and the viewing figures have more impact than the results.

But it is also a good object lesson to show you what happens if you boycott a vote over something that does matter. Choosing not to vote in, let's say, a presidential election will have similar results.

Whoever taught the engineers that you can use a single cell table to put a figure in Word and not have it fuck things up, I respect your ingenuity, but you didn't label anything correctly, so I'm gonna show up to your desk with a sack full of doorknobs.

frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point it’s a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.

like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that don’t magically go away for a strike, we don’t have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!
