#disrespectful depiction

re-reading through the Jadusable wiki and I'm violently reminded how much I hate the creepypasta fandom for taking such a great series with interesting and deep characters and boiling it down to "edgy stoner gamer who is afraid of water"

Was going through keblris's character page specifically, and it's so disappointing that outside the ARG players, he's totally ignored.

You want someone with horror potential for creepypasta, there's your guy.

The actual story for B.E.N. is so fucking good and has so much potential but people are actively choosing to throw out the window

rebabied hermes au but hermes starts crying and apollo travels multiple hundred miles in the blink of an eye without even thinking about it because he used to keep an ear out for when little hermes was upset and even after hundreds if not thousands of years it’s still Deeply ingrained in him

he will always deny this reflex without fail however

love how weirdo culture war people are proving they don’t actually give a shit about accuracy since they’re losing their shit over assassins creed including yasuke in the latest game who’s, y’know. a guy that actually existed. like bro yasuke is real trade and travel are a thing. “oh but he wasn’t a samurai” bro that’s called artistic license and it is something Japanese media depicting yasuke does too bc like. that exists. and they use artistic licence to make historical figures fit their stories too. he was a real dude who we have historical record of who served oda nobunaga. and like oda nobunaga is SUPER fucking popular as a character in fiction especially in japan it’s so blatantly obvious people don’t actually know shit about the actual historical events of the sengoku period and how japan treats them like there’s a fucking nobunaga pokemon game why aren’t you up in arms about the devs there disrespecting Japanese history by including fucking pokemon surely that’s way less respectful to history.

"[NFCV] is the greatest adaptation of all time because games bad. huh" Yeah, sure feels like Everyone Knows Games Have No Story And Video Games Adaptions Are Bad, so let's completely drop any standards we have for adaptions or even just original stories.

All the while treat fans of the games as whiners who can't appreciate Art and should just be happy it got an adaption at all. Or they are fans who Knows Games Sucks, and other fans need to admit the same.

That explanation is the only reason I can understand why even Pro Critic™ who must have seen decent made media in their work, go on about a show which fail so much basic writing and treat it as a masterpiece. I can't imagine NFCV had been an original IP it would have gotten nearly as much praise it got.

Honestly not. Every single praise I've seen about NFCV hinges on the premise that the original games "didn't have much of a story" (of if they did, like CoD, it was bad). I see it in the way criticism like "it could have been more faithful to the source material" gets sneered on like "oh so you wanted Trevor to jump on platforms? You wanted a pixel style?". Like, the idea that maybe the series had lore is completely alien to these fans.

That's why I keep insisting on the genuine writing flaws of the show. Even as its own thing, it has tremendous pacing issues, characterization inconsistencies, blatant narrative favoritism, idiot plots, childish dialogue hidden under a veneer of pretentiousness, shallow themes, and disgusting implications. There's only so many times you can bleat to me that N!Isaac has the best character arc of all time (all while gleefully shitting on game Isaac ofc) before I feel like you deadass watched a different show than I did.

i feel like i should start making more of an effort, when i talk about something in a piece of media being Upsetting to me, to distinguish between 'cathartic' upsetting and 'gave me psychic damage' upsetting. sometimes i mean OUGH OW MY FEELINGS THIS FUCKS ME UP IN A MEANINGFUL AND RESONANT WAY, MY LIFE IS ENRICHED FOR BECOMING AWARE OF IT and sometimes i mean that it is genuinely distressing and i want to shake the creators and ask what the fuck they were thinking

worst discourse that ever happened was saying you can't draw trans characters with trans features without it being disrespectful that fucking sucked. most trans people are not identical to their cis counterparts and that's fine like why can't your trans girls have broad shoulders why can't your trans guys have breasts that's just what being trans looks like I can assure you seeing that makes being trans feel less lonely

i hate declawed billford ngl. let it be the abusive, toxic relationship it is. the only plausible post-canon dynamic would end in them killing each other. and that can and should be explored!

My hot take is that if you don't know how to draw fat people and aren't going to try you should not accept commissions of fat characters

Can artists please depict Vicky as plus size? Like why do you keep thinning her down?? She's got a lot of muscle, she's gonna take up more space, let her!!!!! 😭

set my linkedin banner to ramona flowers and that got me thinking about how terribly the movie handled all the female characters (ending spoilers below cut) (and scott himself actually, they make him way way way less likable and it irritates me but)

movie ramona: yeah I have a chip installed in my head by gideon and I've gotten back into a relationship with him, yeah I'm being a massive bitch but it's actually a guy's decision help me scott save me

comic ramona: <everyone else> wait you got back with gideon right?

super excited for the anime, hoping they handle all the characters way better
