Do Not Engage With The Bait Directly

Instead, respond to it in broad, general terms. Dissect it, scrutinize it, ridicule it, call it out, or use it to illustrate systemic issues—but never engage with the post or comment directly. Doing so only fuels the orange clown’s omnipresence, which is precisely what he thrives on.

As a veteran and a proud hater of terrorists, dictators, authoritarians, fascists, rapists, traitors, and mobsters, let me make something crystal clear: absolutely nothing that bloated, diarrhea-orange blob of coagulated Cheeto paste masquerading as a "leader" has ever done—or promised to do—has been or ever will be beneficial to me, my fellow veterans, or my brothers and sisters in service. This includes even those too blind, too brainwashed, or too willfully ignorant to see through his paper-thin, jerky-tanned skin or remember the oaths we all took. For those of us who still understand what that oath means, it wasn’t some empty recitation. We swore to protect this country and its Constitution precisely from criminals like him and the terrorist cults that prop him up—"enemies foreign [AND DOMESTIC]." Read that last part slowly if the syllables are too complicated for your Cheeto-cult-addled brain.

No one, absolutely no one, owes you or your propagandist, bootlicking, cultist ilk a shred of gratitude. The audacity—no, the delusional entitlement—of you to demand it is laughable. What people actually owe you is a final nail in the coffin of your regressive, petulant tantrum of a movement, so you and your pathetic lot can fade into the dark, irrelevant corners of history where you’ve always belonged.

You are not supreme. You’re not special. You’re not outsmarting anyone but yourselves, getting duped—over and over again—by a con man who is the literal embodiment of the lowest common denominator. You’re a collective of entitled trolls, too stubborn to accept the reality that your so-called savior isn’t just a failure; he’s your failure. You fell for it. Again. And instead of self-reflection, you double down, dragging the rest of us into your dystopian delusions. In short: take your propaganda and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. The rest of us are too busy fighting for a future untainted by your pitiful need to worship mediocrity wrapped in a spray-tanned con job. The history books won’t be kind to you, and they shouldn’t be.

My submission to the SatoSho Discord's Weekly prompt: Kabedon

Right. Let's get this REAL clear here, yeah? For as much as I hate diving into the clusterfuck of bad takes surrounding Nandermo, I gotta say something real loud and clear;

There is NO universe, none at ALL where I give a flying kaleidoscopic fuck if Nandor and Guillermo ""go cannon"". Or get together in some sort of idealized monogamous soulmates situationship. None.

What I DON'T like is how throughout the entire show run, the IDEA of Guillermo and Nandor as a couple was never explored. (other then as a joke once or twice)

PLEASE feel more then free, feel OBLIGATED (if you want them to be platonic) to bring up IN TEXT that they simply aren't interested in each other in that way. There are ten thousand ways to do it!

My kingdom for in the next episode (there is some weird... last episode thing still right?) it's mentioned that they got together for like a week before they both decided that just wasn't what they wanted. Or that they used to fuck when Guillermo was new to the vamily but it low key sucked.

My hand in marriage for a mention of Guillermo having, or specifically not having for whatever reason, a crush on his super cool idealized REAL VAMPIRE boss man when they met, but getting over it the longer they spent together.

My heart for ANY acknowledgement that these are two queer men deeply interwoven in each others lives in a show where the entire rest of the cast is constantly hitting on each other and having chill low key background sex on the reg, and if they are platonic (completely fucking fair) acknowledging in any way in text the idea that they could not be platonic if they wanted, but that they do not want that.

I DO NOT care about ~""shipping""~. There is a history far older then the medium of censoring, or even just being really fucking weird about, queerness, vs the decade or so of increased visibility we've just had. And all I need is simply to see the possibility actually acknowledged and then discarded in text if that's what the writers prefer. I need to see... actual explicit character development and acknowledgement of who these two are, what they mean to each other and why. Not this string along shit (with a side of making fun of the fans, because THAT doesn't clearly shoot any claim to good intentions/ignorance in the foot and lay out what kind of people are in charge) unless you ARE planning to pay off the "will they won't they" tension. (INCLUDING with a "they won't and here's why"!!)

I like Henry Hotline bcuz he's SOOO clearly sexy bait, and that's so funny, like objectively mocking the trope of people always finding a horror game character to get horny over. But I love him because he's just a dude with a nasty ass headache. Let's take ibuprofen together ❤️

[scarycranegame]

saw an anti posting about how (quote)"proshippers who "borrow" posts from antis give james somerton vibes... the "p" in proshipper stands for plagiarism i guess"(/quote)

like. buddy i think theres at least a LITTLE bit of a difference between "stealing someone's writing about important and sensitive subject(s) and profiting off of it in their stead" vs "copying and pasting someone's tumblr post in order to remove the borderline hate speech at the bottom of it in order to make others feel more welcome in their community"

“wow, cloud and tifa have such a fascinating dynamic! trauma-bonding as the sole survivors of a horrific massacre while also not having actually seen each other in years is such a cool way to explore trauma and growth! i wonder what people are saying about them online! :D”

what people are saying about them online, every time, without fail:

[gotmyass2marz]

ok so i probably do not have bpd ithink that whole thing was just the audhd and the teenage bullshit fusing into something Horrid but i am now starting to suspect i have ocd . like Very Much suspect . because what do you mean its not normal to constantly feel like you are doing something wrong and have a little rat inyour brain reaallly who wants to convince you that youre the biggest piece of shit ever and have the crippling inability to scrape the most rancid out of the blue thoughts from the back of your mind . like thats not universal ??!??!!!?

[stalkiwi]

it's so funny to receive anon hate on an account where you're barely active or posting anything like all i do is reblogging. what do you mean i "keep speaking so authoritatively" on subjects i "know very little about" like if i was "an expert" when i "clearly have a narcissistic and blatantly sheltered purview on things". last post i made was half a year ago. are you a real person or a troll saying bullshit to make me mad and create internet drama on purpose
