#but the double standard is sick

[ranbling]

So, 'cause I still keep seeing post about how Eddie needs to work on himself before being in a relationship, let's switch that narrative to Buck

Buck who keeps falling into relationship without any thought and being in a hamster wheel. Buck who hasn't worked through his issues with his parents, and his abandonment issues. Buck who still gets too jealous when someone threatens his bonds with his friends and family. Buck who died and hasn't processed it. Buck who still thinks it's his fault people leave him. Buck whose problems got magical solved after being kissed by a man. Buck who is still in a hamster wheel, but apparently living his best life just because he got a relationship with a man who is condescending and leaves him on the curb.

If you think Eddie needs to work himself before entering a relationship then you should apply the same logic to Buck too

Every day I’m haunted by the fact the boys happily swim in sewer water

Even if it’s filtered somehow there’s no way it’s not still nasty 😭 Bet they can defeat any of their villains just by accidentally giving them diseases I swear

Mike: acts irrationally because of trauma

fandom: aww poor baby 🥺 it’s not his fault, he has issues!

Vanessa: acts irrationally because of trauma

fandom: ummm WOW why did she do that?? that’s so weird is she stupid??

Lily and Mikila saying that Hunter is bad for being an "overdone trope" is so weird to me because like. Aren't ALL character archetypes over done??? In fact, this same logic can be applied to other characters within the show itself. Luz Noceda is an overdone trope; she's the bubbly "quirky" female protagonist who is also very kind and empathetic.

Her character archetype is actually more over done than Hunter's when you really think about it, especially in terms of Disney protagonists in the 2010s and early 2020s. Amity Blight is also an overdone trope; a bully character who goes through a redemption arc and becomes one of the main characters. Also has abusive parents as a way to explain their behavior and earn them sympathy from the audience. Amity's archetype, like Luz's, is arguably more overdone than Hunter's in a lot of media even outside of Disney.

Of course, this isn't exactly a bad thing; tropes are tools after all, and you can make generic ideas work with the right execution. Luz and Amity execute their respective archetypes well due to them having real depth and development over the course of the show, and, guess what? Hunter also executes his archetype pretty well too.

Story tropes are not inherently good or bad, they exist in every story and can be used effectively to create a compelling narrative, so docking points from a character for being a "over done trope" feels like a very bad faith critique, since, again, this same logic can be applied to other characters within the show.

Lily's only problem is that Hunter is an archetype she doesn't like and therefore her critique is heavily biased.

....Also he's an "angsty white boy" and Luz and Amity aren't. Sorry, I almost forgot.

did everybody remember when atlus finally restored the attendant social link in the steam port and how stupid it actually was

So tired of double standards !

If you are silent when Hezbollah attacks ? Then stay silent when Israel defends itself !

To all the people who keep bitching and whining about the percy jackson show not being accurate.

Tell me.

Are the spidermen movies accurate? If so why are each spiderman different? Fucking Toby, Andrew, Tom, miles, etc. All are different from comics while also showing some accuracy but not complete accuracy and yet none of you are bitching that it's not accurate.

So.

Why is the pjo universe different to the Mcu? Why can't there be different stories to a universe. Why does Mcu get to get away with it and not the pjo universe? Why is there a double standard?

The books are the books. The movies are the movies. The series is the series.

Stop trying to find reasons to hate on a KIDS SHOW stop trying to find a reason to excuse your RACISM stop trying to find a problem.

Watch it or don't watch it, simple. No one needs to know your opinions which also DONT MATTER BECAUISE IT IS NOT JSUT FOR YOU SELFISH BASTARDS.

"Abolish cringe culture!" until it's band/art/choir/drama kids, moms on TikTok, people on dating apps, adults without jobs, adults that still live with their parents, kids using internet slang, beginner artists (in music and drawing), awkward texters, people with bad hygiene, fans of popular media, the list goes on.

Cringe culture isn't just about fandom culture, or people that use terms like XD and rawr. It's about making fun of a group of people that isn't actively doing harm solely because you deem them "embarrassing". Don't say you dislike cringe culture if you stop at what YOU deem as cringe. Normalize doing whatever you want on the internet, as long as it's not hurting anybody there's no reason for you to be made fun of for it.

bad gene double mutation donnie concepts that im sharing since I dont think i'll finish the comic cause i lose interest with it.

I was trying to make the second mutation as thing that should not happened, some sort of mistakes. No one is built to handle the second mutation, which is why I tried to make Donnie second mutation look nasty

[arcanemadman]

Netflixvania fans will hate Mariacard because one's 16 and the other's an adult after shipping and continuing to ship Trephacard, which has a teenager shipped with two adults

EDIT: Okay I know this isn't obvious but it needs to be said, Netflix Maria uses the design of 12 year old Maria, but she's actually 16. SOTN Maria is 17, which makes her a year older than Netflix Maria. If there was a 5 year time skip in the show, that would make Maria 21.

Very interesting how the people giggling at houthi terrorists hijacking ships(that aren't even Israeli) and forcing Israeli vessels to avoid the area and are also hoping Morocco does the same because they want Israel to starve without trade are the same people who were crying months ago about Israel (and Egypt, but Egypt isn't Jewish so they can't do anything bad right?) blockading the Gaza strip

Telling isn't it

[enlightining]

people have selective hearing bc lando owned up to the start being bad and he’s allowed to be disappointed for not winning

[scattered-winter]

they should invent a family that is willing to give me full agency as an adult :|

[daniclaytcn]

Somebody really commented "buck has faced the most repercussions" lmaoooo are the repercussions in the room with us rn? 💀

Beautiful fic btw!

the "repercussions" are him being made to feel bad about his actions for like 5 minutes before they're forgotten and never brought up again :)

thank you!

When are we gonna learn to stop supporting and signal boosting people who have happily co-run servers with racists, treated POC like disposable assets to facilitate their own ego (and guard themselves from accusations of racism), and used instances of fandom racism to attempt to act like the moral authority on these matters (because being self-appointed ruler of their little corner of fandom is clearly not enough fandom power, gotta throw some white saviourism into it too)?

Having seen @madneyforever's 'apology' post, it's clear that they have never learnt a single lesson and most likely won't from this incident (of their creation) either, but other people hopefully will.

I don't want to hear "this music isn't challenging or innovative enough" from people on a website where FueledbyRamen reigns supreme, also. Like you bitches can't even make good or non contradictory excuses to be racist and set the bar higher for black people. The layers to this are crazy.
