why don't u like arcane

alright i guess i am talking about it today.

so when I first watched arcane, I actually did like it. I thought it was cute, but I had problems with it that have only grown until they've eclipsed any positive feelings I have towards the show.

the politics of the show is sort of the Main Reason I hate it. There's this underdeveloped city where the kids don't get to see the sunlight. vi and jinx's parents were violently killed by enforcers, this doesn't seem like something that doesnt happen all the time. viktor spent his childhood in the undercity breathing fumes that would later give him a terminal illness. enforcers (theyre literally called enforcers) come down just to enforce violent laws that were not at all made with the interests of the people in the undercity in mind. and they present the conflict between the undercity and the topside like it's a both sides issue. characters like Jayce and Caitlyn should be seen as outright villains but they're not portrayed that way at all.

speaking of jayce and caitlyn fuck those nerds they make me so mad. jayce discovers this amazing magic and proceeds to sell out immediately. He becomes politician who uses his power to further abuse the people of the undercity, uses the magic to make overpowered weapons to crush the undercity. whatever watch this scene

fuck him. and he's one of the protagonists.

CAITLYN PISSES ME OFFFFFFFFFFFF. Shes sort of emblematic of the whole problem of the show to me. the identifying symptom of this disease. the largest genital wart that makes you realise youve got HPV. so caitlyn feels very stifled by her mother at a young age. her mother is a wealthy politician who is super concerned with image. So what does she do to escape this life beneath her mother's thumb? she joins the police force that her mother controls, and then whines about it. she's stupid! that's dumb. and when she goes to the undercity shes so shocked by how horrible life is down there, that's willful ignorance. she thinks that if they bring the hextech to the surface will solve any problems like they wont use it to keep shitting on the undercity. further fucking stupidity. and then she starts hanging out with Vi (least interesting yuri ever they just talk and hang out in the rain can i say this?) and you can tell that the story is angling to make her make Vi sympathetic to police officers until Vi eventually becomes one.

Here's my problem with that. Vi's parents were killed by enforcers, enforcers stopped Vi from taking her little sister away from that lanky groomer, enforcers locked Vi up for the rest of her childhood and kept her in a prison where she got the shit kicked out of her on the reg. They strangled her city and ruined her life THREE TIMES, but the show wants me to believe she would not only fall in love with one of these enforcers, but would become one herself! it's horrific!

I hate it because its presenting this world where I'm supposed to root for both sides of this conflict. It's copaganda. BAD copaganda at that.

And then there's the structure. I didn't catch it at first but a twitter moot of mine made a pretty good point in this tweet

There are aspects I like though. Ekko is a fun character, as is Jinx. There's some cool designs. great gowns, beautiful gowns. but mostly I'm just tired of hearing people sucking that show's dick (i go to art school theyre SLOBBERING on that show i have to hear about it all the time.)

Anyway TLDR:

[princelancey]

If I see one one aww so sad post about those stupid wtf1 morons I'm going to lose it good fucking riddence imo

[kulluto]

please excuse my hater moment but i hate when people see two characters that have the most insane dynamic and they’re like but what if it was wholesome :) okay well what if they fucked nasty style and tried to kill each other all the time also

[naceless]

Whump used to be so popular. What happened to wanting to see ur blorbo concussed and bleeding out. Delirious from illness. Now everyone just gives them self esteem issues

[laureldogbreath]

Even as a profoundly, constantly horny individual I remain completely unable to comprehend people who can't get invested in media without creating some sort of romantic dynamic to obsess over. This isn't about anything in particular I just feel so far removed from anyone doing that that we may as well be another species

playing dragon age veilguard is going to be SO fucking funny because me, the person, the player, the real life human being HATES solas but my "canon" inquisitor considered him a confidant and friend and sometimes even a mentor figure. so while my inquisitor is like "maybe i can still convince him... maybe it doesn't need to end in bloodshed" i'm hovering behind him like

[carlyraejepsans]

I think the whole “Toriel is like a mother to sans” is people not understanding that Toriel being motherly to Frisk doesn’t make her default state mother mode. I think most people would probably act like a parent or older sibling if they found a child that needed help. You can’t just go up to a kid and sat “you’re going to die if you leave this tiny area and you can’t go home ever”

Toriel mother ask person. I think I sent my ask without my finishing it sorry. Anyway I was saying.

Also her dialogue with everyone at the end of the pacifist route is basically just proof that she’s not motherly 100% of the time (especially with sans). People really love to exaggerate her motherlyness towards other characters

yeah it's almost like her entire character arc in their friendship is finally finding someone she can meet on the same level and be vulnerable with, knowing they can lean on one another and care for each other as equals. whodathunk!

theres just so much comedy potential for twst ships to go on double date hang outs.... leomal (malleo?) + kalisil go to the beach or something. kalims burying silver in the sand while leona and malleus try to drown each other in the ocean :^)

[pinkfey]

remember how in dao there were always like multiple flirty options u could just spring on ur love interest and it wasn't something that was brushed past it would stop a conversation dead in its tracks to have a cute secondary flirty offshoot with small variations dependent on the flirty option u initially chose with a unique course correction to get back on topic after...... yeah.

bad tumblr posts and worse fanfiction, as far as i can tell

sorry to be a gatekeeper (lying) but if you want to call yourself a comics fan you should be reading comics

[oceanwithouthermoon]

oh my god i just. remembered this. sorry. one of the things people do in the saiki k fandom (cough cough specifically tiktok cough cough) is that people call every terusai moment "fanservice.." FANSERVICE..? WHATTTTT ?

as if you guys get to make the choices in what the anime SHOULD be like, and which duos get better moments.. thats so funny oh my GOD.

and im saying the anime specifically because none of these people read the manga.. there was this one pretty fucking viral tiktok i saw a few months ago where this person was talking about this and saying that the anime "tried to set up teruhashi and saiki as a couple" when it "wasnt like that in the manga" and then proceeded to talk about scenes that WERE in the manga and did NOT get changed for the anime.. mf why are you just LYING. AND WHY ARE THE MASSES BELIEVING YOU. THATS CRAZY.

More like AskeNAZI Jew amiright????? Disgusting baby killer. What's with you people always rooting for evil

this doesn’t even have the words “zionist” or “israel” in it. y’all are incriminating yourselves…. idiots.

the word “ashkenazi” comes from the biblical figure ashkenaz, who was one of the close descendants of noah. “nazi” on the other hand is short for the “national” in “national socialist.”

since you seem to be unclear on this fact, dear anon, the result of nazi germany systematically and intentionally wiping out six million jews, the majority of which were ashkenazi, is still quite apparent in the world today. there were 16.6 million jews in the world in 1939. by 1945, there were 10.6 million jews in the world. today, in 2024, there are 15.7 million jews worldwide.

our population still has not returned to its pre-holocaust numbers and it’s been 80 years. that’s what genocide looks like, perpetrated by the nazis.

meanwhile, the worldwide palestinian population, including that in gaza and the rest of israel and the west bank, has increased by 2.8x from 1950 to 2024. that means that in 1950, there were roughly 900,000 palestinians worldwide—and by 2024, there are now over 5 million palestinians.

and that’s in LESS time between now and the holocaust: 74 years, which is just about how long the palestinian “genocide” is claimed to have lasted. your lies—and your motivations—have never been so obvious.

hope this cleared things up. and anyway, what’s with you people always rooting for evil?
