(idk if anyone wants to keep hearing my opinions on totk book stuff but-)
apparently it says that rauru DID have kids, multiple even, which yeah... is kinda necessary for zelda to even be connected to them so much so that sonia can SENSE a blood connection (which, even with all the excuses with magic, is just a little too far for me to suspend my disbelief bc its over, OVER, ten thousand years worth of generations that seperate her from them that one lil touch of the hand can sense that (feels more like an attempt to make you care about them or .. see them as zeldas "better" parents just bc they exchange a few nice words, i never got the feeling they were 'better' parents and its also kinda disrespectful to her actual parents, like sure rhoam wasnt the best but i wouldnt call rauru better just bc he was polite)- i could see maybe the light power of hylia or sth but since its the coolest dude that ever lived rauru now that had it which still doesnt make sense and makes me unreasonably annoyed and she can sense BOTH of their powers in her? nah) the fact theres NOTHING about them in the game itself is just so ... no way they planned any of this
i dont think theres anything they can do or say that wont make be believe they either
are making it up alla 'fix it in post' mentality trying to hastily explain stuff the game never bothers to do to try and appease fans or let it appear as if they thought about it at all
something went really REALLY wrong during development, which kinda seems likely given how the game turned out (im sorry i cannot let go, its not just the writing, the game design too and how little was changed in the map while being so damn expensive, i dont know how people dont feel scammed q_q)
given that they (allegedly) spent the last entire year of development on polish (where??? where????? huh??? like it would make it more understandable (EXCEPT for the price) if there was alot of trouble, which was also bc it got delayed and ... turned out like this, but they dont want to say it, especially given their reputation, with that quote i have heard way too many times 'a delayed game blah blah') i just??
are they just gonna go and do it like they did with kashiwa (kass)? "they uuuh where flying around the whole time ony cool sonau tech maschines, you just dont see or hear from them ooooorrr they were uuuuh out of the country at the time" (sending invitations to other continents to join their glorious kingdom ;) )
(bet they are also gonna say they did all the stuff like ... moving the shrines around (lol?) and lifting the islands up into the sky- which is still weird bc ... didnt they also say they were living in the sky before coming to the surface?? so where?? did they park all their islands on the surface and the mystery kids had the keys so they had to repark them back into the sky after they returned off camera?? xD also why are the islands so different as an environment if they where from the surface? like even the STONE up there is different- and if they were first in the sky then on the surface and the nback in the sky .. why is there not a single yellow tree or grass in the past- you cant really argue that it changed bc they were up there so long bc .. nothing else changed, the suddendly and totally always there sonau buildings are largely in prime condition, only some slightly moldy, and what we see of the glorious past looks barely any different from the present, aside from like ... some standard trees shuffled, no castle yet and that glowy uwu filter DESPITE that stupidly long time frame between it)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#idk if others feel like that too but i cant shake the feeling there was something that either went horribly wrong during development-#-or the entire thing was neglected the whole time which is why its so .. i hesitate to even call it bare bones#...which is WILD given that its the supposed sequel to their best seeling zela game#like wtf where you doing#i get that the pressure can be immense but imo it wasnt that hard to make a sequel to thats better than totk#like i think it was harder to make totk like it is NOW bc it scraps and throws away so many things you could have easily used-#-as sequel material#its all so weird to me#my tin foil hat theory is still that they saw the success of the mario movie and immediately shifted everything to make more movies#bc it made so much money#and a movie is easier to make than a good game#so totk or botw2 at the time got the short end of the stick#which is why everything feels like .. so ... bare bones .. untested .. unfinished .. non sensical...#like an alpha build that got enough visual polish to look like a full game when its still an alpha build at its core#some main ideas like the abilities implemented and the basic map layers#mechanics functioning but untested on how it feels to play#like the sage controls and arrow fusing and ... contradictory game mechanics that dont work together#like the bulding WORKS but its clunky and underused- everything can be cheated so easily you dont even feel good cheating-#-bc it feels like the teacher just allowed you to mark your test with a green circle and you still got an A (or however USA grades work)#despite not even reading the questions- why attempt to solve a puzzle if you can just skip it#and how they tell you to be creative with it yet creativity gets punished and only efficiency is rewarded#which completely undermines the entire thing#...theres so much more you know i have ranted about it all before#ALSO rauru and sonia seemed like a rather newly wed couple to me- not one that had multiple kids that never appear-#since it only mentions rauru ..... if its only his then ... that doesnt explain anything bc zelda needs both sonia and rauru dna#................do sonau leave eggs to incubate somewhere heavenly or sth#watch out the springs where built to hatch rauru eggs bc they need the gods holy blessing bc they are oh so holy to hatch

Soldier how’s spy doing? Feels like you two are very close
WE ARE VERY CLOSE!!!!!!!! WE'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP, MAIL PERSON!!!!!!!! I LOVE MY MOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...I think Spy's in his smoking room right now. He seemed really tired today... I should check on him later to make sure he's okay! And see if he needs hugs!!! Or anything, actually!!!!!! I'd do anything for him!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT WE ARE VERY CLOSE!!! He's such a sweetheart, mail person, he's so loving and gentle with me and it's so great that I get to look after him!!!! I'M A LOT STRONGER THAN HE IS, SO I GET TO PROTECT HIM FROM ALL THE COMMIES IF THEY TRY TO HURT HIM!!!!!!!!!! BUT HE'S A LOT SMARTER THAN ME, SO HE CAN PROTECT ME TOO IF A COMMIE TRIES TO TRICK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPY KNOWS SO MANY THINGS!!!!!!!!!!! He has to fool those MAGGOTS on BLU all day long, so he's very good at spotting when SCUMBAGS ARE TRYING TO TRICK HIM! OR ME!!!!! HE SPEAKS SIX LANGUAGES, SON!! SIX!!!!!!!!! AND HE KNOWS THEM ALL FLUENTLY!!!!!!!!!!!! HE KNOWS HOW EVERYONE ON BLU ACTS, AND CAN IMITATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM SO PERFECTLY!!! HE'S SO TALENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I first fell for Spy when I saw how... focused he was during battles. He was so graceful, he got kills so easily and completely WIPED THE FLOOR with BLU team every single time!! One time he killed their Engineer, destroyed his Sentry, destroyed his Teleporter AND killed their Medic when he noticed him sapping buildings!!! Their backline was DESTROYED, and their PUSH WAS RUINED!!!!!! WE KILLED THEM ALL AND GOT AN EASY VICTORY, ALL THANKS TO SPY!!!!!!!!!! ...But it didn't seem like people focused on that. Our Medic got so much praise, DESERVEDLY SO, but it didn't seem like anyone thought to thank Spy for making it so easy for us. It could've went so differently if Spy hadn't been there...
I remember I thanked him, and I think he was trying to hide it, but there was the... smallest little smile on his face. I don't remember what he said, it was something like "I don't need your recognition, you simpleton", but... I saw his face, and ever since I've wanted nothing more than to see that smile every day, and make him happy. He deserves to feel happy and safe and loved, and I'd do anything to make sure he knows that I love him and will always be there to protect him!!!
...I GOT A BIT SIDETRACKED!!!!!! BUT YES, I LOVE MY MOUR!!!!!!!!!!! NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I'M GONNA GO GIVE HIM A KISS!!!!!!!!!!!! AND MAYBE BUY HIM SOME CROISSANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And practice my INSIDE VOICE FOR HIM, BECAUSE HE REALLY HATES YELLING WHEN HE'S TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#avian killing machine#gay little man sighting#freedom fries#<- deliberated on it but i wrote a lot more than i anticipated. thats good enough imo. this is GAY

#inspired when i saw an ad on youtube for wizard101#where it said “come play for free and explore 16 different worlds!!!” and i was like okay thats a fucking lie#you cant even get all the way through the FIRST world#personally i think its stupid and inconvenient to have to pay to play the MAIN QUESTLINE#for the people who dont have time to grind the set amount of time you pay for membership or those who dont have money#you either pay for a year and are pressured to do as much as you can before time runs out#or you're stuck doing nothing. there's very little you can do without membership#like the main selling point of the game is so you can finish the story. thats what we download the game for in the first place#it gives you the impression that the priority here is your money and not the consumer's enjoyment and comfort#like there are plenty of games who make the entire game free and still are well off#we pay like 40-50 dollars on bundles and even more than that on crowns. that should be more than enough#there are other games where if you dont have membership it barely affects your gameplay experience overall#or games that have no membership function but still can make decent money#imo having to pay to just actually play the game doesnt make it free. like yeah you can do other stuff like fish and duel each other-#and thats it. you walk around the commons and talk ig#thats like the biggest reason i dropped the game its just wayy too expensive and inconvenient to play it#wizard101#w101#wiz101#polls

NO YOU’RE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE MAJIMA STUFF THOUGH. GOD. God forbid you speak poorly about the fandom silly guy etc etc. I rt’d one post about someone being annoyed abt majima getting an insane amount of merch (especially compared to other characters- even other PLAYABLE characters) and suddenly my TL is filled with ppl taking it as a personal attack….. like?? Settle down???
My one fear is that instead of Mine content we’re just gonna get Majima Saga 2 for yk3 and rgg will call it a day. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT THE GUY !!! GENUINELY!!!
at this rate we’re going to have a complete record of Majima’s life from birth until modern day bc you knowww they’re never gonna let the cash cow die or retire. + god I lowkey need the 3jimas to break up Now so saejima and daigo can stand on their own again (w/out being overshadowed by Majima)…. Saejima especially… I miss the days when he felt like a character………
(I may have a lot to say on the topic) (he’s a fun character but at this rate I’m getting so sick of the fandom around him)
gen is kinda funny how when there's the Monthly Critique Of Majima post on twitter the rggtwt part of the tl is flooded with majima fans being upset. its like clockwork really LOL
as for saejima, i do miss him being solo... like he's funny with majima at times, but as wack as Y4 was i still really liked his coliseum scene, and his prison adventures in Y5 were a real treat too..
#snap chats#like you say one mild comment about majima in passing and then you have mates acting as if you burned their crops#like .. its never this serious .. also i think people have the right to be a littttttle miffed that other charas barely get anything#its starting to change with the plushies and saejima/akiyama figures so thats great but. still a way to go LOL#its just esp Lol inducing because kiryu and ichi are protagonists so it makes sense for them to get stuff#but majima is quite literally a side character that wasnt meant to have this much popularity#the concept of a chara becoming popular by accident isnt bad thats not the thing- its even cool when that happens#its just sometimes you just see people act really entitled to stuff for that character while every other chara is ignored#and then the same people acting surprised when others go 'actually ive had a bit enough of this guy'#honestly if they did another majima segment for a hypothetical yk3 id laugh. like id be a bit annoyed but id mostly laugh#cause truly what else is there. he's like a comic book character we just gotta keep making situations for him til hes 90#idk. just so funny majima's been given a sort of 'weird' protagonist status#and i say weird because he IS a protagonist but just compared to how he actually functions throughout y1-y6. lol. lmao even#like youre right in that majima's a fun character but he really is better in just small doses imo#or. at least i need people to relax on the idea of a 'majima gaiden' or making him any more prominent in the games than he is now#anyway i cant be bitter posting my dad is being funny as hell. he got us bracelets and he was like#'in our family you and i are the only ones who like these. makes us cool' and i was like 'yeah dad we're so cool'#and this old man is just 'we're so cool ☺️' LIKE PL E A S E THE EMOJI TOOK ME OUT. i love my dad. all bitterness is gone from my heart#anyways bye if rgg gives majima a saga in yk3 im gonna livestream playing that and only that#not even yk3 just the majima part 😭😭😭😭

the endless curse of being utterly uninterested in romance in fandom spaces
#one (1) ship im interested in and its being overshadowed by another entirely nonsensical ship too#but in general. UGH#i get obsessed with two characters bc i love their interactions and relationship and maybe they way theyve come to care about each other#and then all the posts (and fics) i see are like 'oh they should kiss lol' NO!! THEY SHOULD NOT!!!#have you never had a meaningful non-romantic relationship????#look at them!! theyre best friends!! theyre siblings!! whatever is going on with them is beyond normal relationships!!#just making them kiss immediately turns the entire concept so so so boring#like sometimes theres romance thats well-done but usually it discards everything else about the characters in question#like. theyre pining yay. what else. what about their unspoken but undying devotion to each other#what about their being trapped by the narrative together#what about the way theyre basically one entity and cant even tell where one ends and the other begins#what about their eternal loyalty that theyll never admit to anyone#what about the way they trust each other with every secret but dont even need to say anything out loud#what about the way this is the only person they feel safe and understood with#what about the unwilling bond forged through long travels#what about the beauty of friendship#noooo theyre just stupid pining idiots. kissy kiss kiss and its all done#friendship!! is!! amazing!!!! and more than enough!!!!!!#and with that other ship i see commonly why are you ignoring literally EVERY piece of symbolism in the og work UGH#like. no hate to avid shippers and enjoyers of romance#but i do not see the appeal#kissing is way overrated imo and then having all of my fav character dynamics being reduced to essentially Nothing#seeing super cool character dynamics being completely torn from the context and butchered into some pining#im so so so tired of it#a biscuit's rambles

every newer gen kpoppy who calls it revolutionary every time a big name bg member wears something vaguely skirt-like should be required to watch lee sungjong of infinite putting his whole pussy into performing coming of age ceremony by park jiyoon wearing the song's classic form-fitting black side-slitted dress with zero gimmicks way back in 2012
#its Required Material re: historical kpop genderfuckery#no but im 100% for real. this was in the middle of the era where bg members doing gg songs in drag and whatnot was a really#common gag at concerts and in variety shows and whatnot- especially using bg members who were/are considered the most effeminate#basically it was a big Joke and never taken seriously. alot of the time the dances would be exaggerated and whatnot and yeah they#werent like. REAL covers. werent usually respectful of the original gg/female idol's work and all that. haha man in dress type humor#i know if you're old enough to be following me and into kpop you probably know this already and im talking into space but whatever#anyway. sungjong said fuck that and fucking killed it with a genuine live cover (dance And vocals) of coming of age ceremony#which- as you can imagine based on the title- isnt just an iconic female idol song but one that's blatantly about female sexuality#and whatnot. wore the dress that's in the original mv (or something very similar) and didnt play it up with a wig or anything like that#(like what's usually the case when male idols cover gg songs to make it more clear that its a Costume and they are Crossdressing rather tha#just. being a guy and wearing a dress.)#did not shy away from the sexiness of the dance AT ALL to the point of riding the floor at one point more or less which. god fucking damn#but anyway. it's totally true to the original and is unapologetically sexy in an inherently orientation-fucking gender-fucking way and GOD#wish it got more attention than it did because THAT is revolutionary. thats the first performance i ever saw where a male idol did a#female idol song in the original female idol outfit live without any gimmick or even the implication that it COUNTS as drag. its SUCH a#big deal imo. and it helps that its really fucking hot but thats neither here nor there. anyway. i know its been years but i still have so#many feelings and opinions about sungjong's coming of age ceremony performance ghfgjhdgfdh WATCH IT#sungjong#infinite#kibumblabs

Jlaire (or just Claire as a character, tbh) wouldn't be any be anywhere near as popular as it is if Claire was chubby like she is in the book.
Anyways, I love both book and show Claire with my entire heart, but I'm still kinda salty with how much they slimmed her down in the show
#the inherent fatphobia in media thats then perpetuated by fandoms and their favoritism of thin characters is just depressing honestly#and you can tell from early concept art back when they were still thinking abt keeping her closer to the book#she was still skinny like they never even considered giving her the body type she had in the book :(#anyway#her body type being described as “what the popular girls would call 'not skinny enough'” in the book#is like one of my favorite things ever#especially how its liek in the same paragraph as jim listing things abt her he finds attractive#im also still sad that they made her shorter than jim#i loved how in the book sje was the tallest and arguably most capable trollhunter#in the show they were clearly trying to make her a 'girl power' character#which is fine in theory#but their execution was meh#like imo the best way to do it probably would've been just keeping her more similar to her book counterpart#not that she wasn't badass in the show#but still#claire nuñez#claire fontaine#trollhunters novel#trollhunters#tales of arcadia#jlaire#Moth.txt

on a more hater note, regardless, that exact range of character seems irreparably unable to really escape the fantasy theyre created. for? around? whatever.
(now leaving shuzo azide for the moment) like if they refuse the guy's advances, for 'petty'/personality/logical/legal reasons, theyre still playing into the coercion rape/adjacent part of what the female characters do generally but obvs also the minors aspect. but if on the contrary or in conjunction with the former, if theyre portrayed as more sensible than they seem as the plot progresses (which on principle isnt necessarily wrong, yk theyre still young and human) then that also plays as an extension of the explicit coercion kind or the one interested on vulnerability from the get-go..
#txt#like when the dynamic appears more than liking its that aside from the obv reasons imo it will moreso mean that im wishing better for the#girl or find her cool(er if at least comparisson w the other loser) but on some level you would think like she should reject him right#but on some level thatll be assigning a lot of responsability on the of being cool or mature enough to do that so like you switch to#understanding theyre human and should act their age right but again thats just the other half of the insistence of slowly eroding their#boundaries and will so like you really cant win on being authentic with this unless theyre removed from the situation entirely. but#that would make sense. if the story Is About that kind of interaction like storytelling speaking that doesnt make sense ykwim 💀#like ending things without it begining that isnt like. A Story.

sorry ive been a negative nancy abt ranger 1 so far, dont mean to be, but man im not looking forwards to the subtle misogyny in this series
#thats not just me right…..#like its not enough to say this series is misogynistic or anything bc i dont think it is#but i remember gs especially being weird about its female characters#that game 100% expected the player to be male imo bc ben is all over the marketing even more than summer#to the point he got both specials in the anime#and in the almia shoutout they reference the male player no matter which gender you picked#blue eyes doesnt get to be as relevant as red eyes and shes devalued as a threat and shoved out pretty quickly#and just like…… the way the companion character is written….. i think they fully expected summer to be the default#in that position#bc iirc the companion is constantly held hostage and is super emotional and panicky#and implied to have a sweet little crush on you and youre so brave compared to them#which is actually pretty awesome if you play as summer and the companion is ben#but yeah. i LOVE gs dont get me wrong its my favorite but….. yeah#also i remember almias got some weird stuff too but memory is more foggy there tbh#echoed voice

i will make up for short chapter with. normal length chapter after i prommyyyyy i just dunno what else i’m supposed to add here there’s not much left to say without moving into what’s supposed to be the next chapter 😔
That's completely fine in my opinion, main story chapters in the game are also sometimes shorter and its your story anyway, you can do whatever you want forever, post a 200 word hw chapter and I'll read it happily
I've read some less than 1k fics that were still cute or nice so quantity ≠ quality, there's no need to worry 🫶
#asks#marlo tag#some chapters are longer some shorter thats just how it is#its better to have just enough content in a shorter chapter than too much stuffed in just to give it more words imo#youre all good

These sobs really limited my tags?????
I have so many more thoughts this is so so much less than 1/2. Broski. Big dislike
#its ‘i watched a tv show and i need to talk about it in the tags of this site im not on anymore’ time#ty to the void for always accepting my thoughts <3#so honestly its just me thinking about the andromeda tv show. i just finished it and it left me destitute bc i clung onto the first 2 season#s as a basis and had ten thousand questions i *assumed* would be resolved. spoiler alert: they were nto#not*. and the coda addition helps but like. not enough. it explains some of the#oh fyi if anyone is reading or cared there will be spoilers#anyways it explained some of them ex for the cosmic engine bit. seemed pretty relevant and then was never mentioned again#i also MUCH prefer that version of trance — i had speculation she was a sun avatar which i took as confirmation when i finally noticed her#tattoo when harper used it to remind himself he put that data in the sun etc etc but i much prefer the sun-as-consciousness-astral-poject-#ing-slash-dreamjng-itself-a-body / being a little devil. i think that feels much more true to what we got in worldbuilding early on and tbh#the bar is on the floor bc any explanation would be better than what we got. also im sorry but s5 i trusted SO hard that that whole virgil#vox bit in the finale was insulting. couldnt even tie up the loose end you invented at the last minute????? MY god. i understand getting you#r budget halved but like. broski. it would have been better to ignore it at that point imo.#anywhoodle. i also have just ISSUES w the lack of resolution & not doing justice to literally any character#listen. why would you sink SO much effort into tyr just to have honestly what i feel is a disrespectful end to that character. like#tyr required me to do a LOT of thinking bc i sympathized with his position in exile etc while thinking also bro thats real fucked up. bro#stop thats fuckinng e*genics again dude. tbh with the entire species (im not looking up how to spell that rn) bc like the foundation of#their entire race is e*ugenics. (sorry censoring bc im in the tags just venting about tv) which obviously is a terrible idea but i think the#so it was like i am fundamentally against the concept but in show universe theg obviously did it etc but for me provided such a huge like#context to the universe. i fundamentally am not on board with all the commonwealth stuff like yeah i get it the magog are bad and scary but#like the neitzcheans (sp??? idc) are also Right There bein scary. then theres the ‘enhanced’ debate re dylan beka etc that like. is the same#but ‘’different’’ i guess. 🙄 anyways that is just to point out like. the level of thinking this show put me through just to blindside me w/#no resolution. i had SO much hope. tyr selling iut to the abyss is disrespectful to all of the established work the actor did for him and#to the character as well even if i think the ideology is icky. he was shown to be even less and less self-centric survival guy as it went on#and also tbh i didnt understand the him stealing his kids dna thing. i really thought that was gonna gi in a different less bs direction#okay also while im here can i just say. that tyr and dylan had THE most romantic tension to me. everyone else felt very friendshipy and i am#NOT one to usually fall into a ‘they obviously should be together’ pipeline that the writers dont make themselves. but the back and forth (#and intense eye contact) had me sitting there like. it was made in 2000 i know they wont do it but for not doing it they sure did! not that#i think they’d make a good couple (they would not) but that there was definitely something there on the dl you know? something more than#‘mutual respect’ you feel? and tbh! they also ruined the tyr beka thing by making her the matriarch. big ew huge ick.

People are SO fucking weird about vegans. Like yeah i get it theres the ones who care more about animals than humans, the ones who are literally eco fascist, the raw vegans, the militant vegans, the ones who say theres no excuse to eat meat- i get it dude but thats not what makes up veganism as an ideology. The very basis of veganism as an ideology (not as a diet) is animal welfare. People can take something simple like that and pull it in a million different directions for better or for worse, same with the idea of reincarnation, or the idea that "people need to be treated fairly", because it brings up a lot of questions like "do people who treat people unfairly deserve to be treated unfairly?" Or "if reincarnation is real then does that take away the seriousness of death?" Or "if animals are mistreated, shouldnt we do everything in our capacity to protect them (even if it hurts others?)" But obviously all of those things can go in an opposite direction thats purely positive, "everyone deserves to be treated fairly regardless", "believing in reincarnation is fine as long as you dont think its fine to kill someone to 'liberate' them or something", "animals should be protected insofar as it doesnt greatly impact certain humans who may need to rely on them", etc. Like. Why do we have to pretend everything is black and white to keep pushing away and ignoring vegans?
#veganism is NOT tethered to militant vegans or whatever. militant vegans are vegan but they dont make up the entirety of veganism.#veganism has a very basic ideology that people can build off of in a million different ways just like any other similar basic idea#thinking vertain vegans are cringe is not a good enough excuse to ignore all vegans.#yall arent even on the same level of vegan as im on rn like dusjdksnjwb im on an entirely different wavelength dawg#i understand how you see vegans but i think people can be vegan even if they eat meat sometimes so#like i have an entirely different understanding of it as an ideology. its about doing what you can without letting yourself suffer#if you have to eat meat for some reason so be it. that doesnt make you any less vegan so long as you try to avoid harming animals#thats the VERY BASIS of my understanding of vegan ideology. or at least. the healthiest version of it imo.#sometimes i hafta eat meat because im poor. i hate it for a myriad of reasons (how i feel abt eating an animal. how my digestive system#also feels about eating an animal. etc lol) but i dont think that takes away my veganism bc otherwise veganism would be incredibly#restricted to a very specific type of person who has a shit ton of money time and energy to buy vegan shit and cook it and everything#its not impossible to eat vegan without a lot of money also but thats besides my point. it would generally fall under something only#more privileged people can do and i think thats a dumb version or understanding of veganism. and to reduce it to that#whether ur the vegan reducing it to that or someone on the outside observing vegans#is also dumb.#theyre doing it for elitist reasons and you're doing it to validate or push your political ideals of vegans.#bc its easier to dismiss all vegans as just privileged out of touch skinny white women than it is to listen to ALL vegan perspectives.
