This reminds me of that one history of a man that was beeing acused of beeing a witch.

So the only ways that he had to scape this situation was either declearing himself guilty (wich culd lead into a public execution and the goverment of those time taking away his lands) or beeing presed to death whit some rocks untill he "confess" his "crimes"

So the man intead of declearing himself guilty of witchery he choose beeing compresed whit gigant rocks

But the man didn’t change his mind or decleare himself guilty. He just keep sayin "MORE WEIGTH" over and over again...

Until he died by beeing crushed alive for the giant rocks

The goverment culdn’t take his money or lands becuase he didn’t died by the law

This reminds me of that man who keept adding more weight over and lver again until death

Sorry, my inglish is very bad tehe~

Reasons I’m glad V///R is dead and gone forever

So V//R is dead and cancelled and my only reaction is FINALLY. Since VR is gone and we can finish forgetting the forgettable show and get rid of all our salt. You’re free to add to the post but there are rules. 

1. DO NOT TAG IT SO THE FANS CAN SEE. As much as I hate the show and the fandom even they don’t deserve to see people bashing the show in their tag. 

2. Don’t write the name of the show or the characters. Use /// or ---- in the character’s name like Yu///saku so the tumblr search can’t pull them up

ok good? Good. 

Everyone but Yu///saku is worthless. 

Seriously when have any of the characters actually progressed the story? Potentially only SB have done anything truly worthwhile. Everyone else was just to die to build tension for Yu//saku. And if you’re asking for RE///volver. OHHH I have a section just for him, don’t you worry.

Sto//rm Acc/ess aka Yu//saku is such a shitty duelist that the MINORITY of his duels has him not cheating. 

SERIOUSLY it’s written that Yu//saku can get a random extra deck monster with his skill BUT the issue is despite it being “random” Yu//saku ALWAYS gets the monster he needs to win. NOT ONCE IN THE 100+ EPISODE HAS HE GOTTEN A USELESS CARD. ALWAYS THE ONE HE NEEDS. Totally doesn’t seem like plot armor. And you know it wouldn’t be as big of an issue IF HE DIDN’T USE IT FOR EVERY SPE///ED DUEL!!!!!!!! For a character that the show likes to say is “invincible” he sure isn’t good enough to win with the deck he built. It got ridiculous with his duel with G/oo in season 2 where G//o countered his skill BUT A//i revealed it had a secondary effect that let him draw a card AND still get a new extra deck monster. 

Plot twists: 

They fall into two camps, “we already knew you dumbasses” or “THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS SMOKING!” Essentially the twists are obvious like A///i was based off of Yu//saku’s data as why wouldn’t he be. Or the dumb ones like Spec///tre beating A///oi or somehow Spec//tre had CONSCIOUS TREE AS A MOTHER. There have been a few twists that I can count that surprised me but they lead to other twists that fall back into stupid.  

the “Plot” just plain doesn’t exist.

 It’s just things happening with some connecting plot lines BUT they rarely lead into each other. Light///ning revealed that his plan was happening THE EXACT SAME TIME as season 1′s finale. A//i being the villain is more due to Light//ning’s simulation somehow proving that A///i will destroy humanity than the fact that A/i’s the only Ig//nis left. And each season’s arc has no connecting plot either. Season 1 can be broken down to Yu//saku gets A//i which has him meet the “main cast” and then Yu///saku go to S//OL for info that was TOTALLY pointless. Which is isolated from Re//volver setting a virus that traps you on the internet which leads to Re//volver learning Yusa//ku’s face AND MEETING HIM but does jack shit with that info. And then Re///volver’s final plan happens that was based on timing than anything else. 

Does that seem disjointed? YEP because there is no narrative at all, things are just happening. There is a vague connection at best but none of the characters’ actions actually affect how the story goes. THE FRUSTRATING PART IS THEY SET UP MOMENTS WHERE THEY COULD HAVE BUT THEY DIDN’T. SEASON 2 AND 3 IS THE SAME THINGS JUST HAPPEN AND THEN YU//SAKU HAS TO SAVE THE FUCKING DAY. V/R has no rhyme or reason why things happen, they just do and let me tell you, that’s fucking boring.

The Yu//saku praise

 My fucking god. Look the protagonist getting praised isn’t new, it happens with each series BUT the issue is the volume that Yu//saku gets and how early he gets it. Most protagonists have to wait till at least the second series before the population love them. Yu///saku got it by the THIRD EPISODE. BY. BEAT. A. MOOK. He was called a hero, people were saying he was hot, people were copying his avatar. AND IT NEVER STOPPED. EVERY OTHER EPISODE HAS SOMEONE SAY HE’S AMAZING, STRONG AND SOOO IMPORTANT. 

An A//oi episode in season 1 has a less than five minute section just to show that a kid HERO WORSHIPS YU//SAKU AND WAS IT. The kid appears with an avatar based on PM, PM saves him and tells the kid to trust him to save and then the kid logs out. AND THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. “YU//SAKU IS INVINCIBLE”, “YU//SAKU IS MY HERO!”, “EVERYONE DEPENDS ON YOU YU//SAKU”. IT’S BEEN AN ENTIRE SHOW OF PEOPLE SINGING YU///SAKU’S PRAISES AND THE WORST PART OF IT IS, HE DESERVES NONE OF IT.

The setting. 

Let me ask ... THE FUCK IS IT. What even is Link Vr//ains? Is it a game, a site, a program? WHY IS IT ONLY IN DE///N CITY? WHY IS DESTROYING IT WILL LEAD TO THE ENTIRE INTERNET CRASHING???????? Link Vr///ains is something that NEEDS to be explained but the show NEVER DOES. HELL IT NEVER EVEN TRIES. 

The girls

Jesus christ ... the girls are .... just sad. A///oi ... my fucking god A//oi. A///oi’s personality starts and ends with “onii-sama”. NEARLY EVERY MOTIVE OF HER’S IS I WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR MY STEPBROTHER. Everything else is a passing fancy. Mi///yu? Yeah nice motivation but that’s why her two duels as BM in season 2 is more about her relationship with Ak//ira than her “friend”. 

Em//ma’s backstory was absorbed into BS’ despite the fact he was a new addition when Em//ma was around since season 1. 

Vir//ya is just a bit character meant to fill out the remain KOH, since their return in season 2, she haven’t done anything of value. 

Qu///een ... why is she there? I mean she appeared in a Bikini ... in virtual reality. seriously there is no point in that shit, and then did nothing besides watch over Ear//th’s death and then lost to A//i when her skill was named honey trap. 

Mi////yu is so unimportant we haven’t gotten a scene of her out of flashback despite being a lost chi//ld.   

Back to A//oi, it’s not even that A//oi isn’t important,sadly that’s not uncommon in YGO, it’s the fact EACH TIME SHE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING, THE SHOW PUNISHES HER FOR IT. She tries to be a symbol for people, it’s stupid why she trying but still, Spec///tre reveals he was toying with her the entire time and she had no chance. She tries to get stronger in season 2, SB beats cause she doesn’t have an Ig//nis and then she does nothing for half the season. She tries to save her “childhood friend”, Bow//man beats her and takes her consciousness so Yu//saku has to save her ... again. She tries to protected Ak//ira, A//i beats them and only takes A//oi to taunt her over her failure. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SHOW, ANYTIME A//OI TRIES TO DO ANYTHING, THE SHOW BEAT HER UP AS IF TO SAY, YOU SHOULDN’T DO ANYTHING EVER. Great message there. 

Simulations

You know as people there are plenty of reasons that conflict starts, greed, hate, anger, lust, desperation to survive, hunger. And how does conflict start in V/r? FUCKING SIMULATIONS. EVERY SINGLE CONFLICT IN THIS SHOW IS BECAUSE OF A SIMULATION. K//OH are a thing cause Kog///ami did a simulation that showed that the Ig//nis are learning TOO FAST AND WILL CAUSE THE END OF HUMANITY. Ligh///tning turned evil because he learned no matter what he can NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH HUMANITY CAUSE OF A SIMULATION. A///i turning “evil” because he’s doom to end the world cause of you guessed it a SIMULATION. Simulations are just tools and are NEVER THE FINAL RESULT. There are too many variables to truly make an 100% accurate simulation BUT HERE THEY ACT AS IF SIMULATIONS ARE A FUCKING GOSPEL. IT’S STUPID AND INCREDIBLY LAZY THAT THE CAUSE OF ALL the conflict in this show is because of independent simulations.  

Mental illness

As a person with a mental illness and went to therapy I can say this, VR doesn’t deserve any brown points for covering mental illness. If anything VR touching mentally illness takes points away. I have already said my piece on how poorly VR tackles mental illness. But my take away is this when it comes to mental illness VR is a absolutely horrible.

Rev///ovler

Re//voler is in all honestly a shitty character despite what his fans think. He’s an asshole that has no drive of his own. He admit he does this all BECAUSE OF HIS DAD. The one time he did do something of his own accord, turn his dad in, he later regretted so much that he refuses to do it again. LOOK I can understand missing your father despite the fact he’s trash, human relationships are complex BUT RE///VOLVER BEING “FATHER I WILL NEVER EVER GO AGAINST YOU AGAIN DESPITE THE FACT YOU KIDNAPPED KIDS AND THEN TORTURED THEM BECAUSE YOU FELT SAD HUMAN WILL EVENTUALLY GO EXTINCT ONLY TO TURN ON YOUR CREATIONS” IS FUCKING STUPID. And then he goes the EXTRA MILE OF ASS and says to Yu//saku’s face that he REGRETS SAVING HIS LIFE TWICE. And he never apologized either. 

Also his “development” is forced as shit, Revo//lver never develops onscreen or shows signs of changing, just the show and characters say OH YES RE//VOLVER CHANGED.... IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.  Honestly after his return in season 2 where he showed he DIDN’T CHANGE, then he tries to help Hom//ura despite telling Yu//saku he regrets saving him. WHY THE CHANGE. HE HAS SEEN NOTHING THAT MADE HE FEEL SYMPATHY FOR THE LOST KI//DS. BUT HE’S ALL OF A SUDDEN KIND TO HO///MURA. AND THEN AFTER HE LOSES TO LIGH//TNING AND SAY’S A/I NAME, ONLY TO SNAP BACK IN SEASON 3 AND WANTS TO KILL A///I. What I’m saying is, he has no real character development, you can tell what the show WANTED him to become but my god they were too lazy to actually show him changing. 

Yu//saku

OH BOY this is going to be long. Yu//saku is by far the WORST WRITTEN PROTAGONIST IN YGO HISTORY.  He has no personality and no real background besides HE WAS TORTURED, POOR HIM!!!!! Seriously what was his life like before the Lo//st Incident. What did he like to do, did he have friends, where the fuck are his parents. There is no information about him, past or present. Like his current “personality”, WHAT IS IT besides he’s stoic/emotionless. He’s not nice or even mean anymore. He has no likes or even dislikes. All we know is he’s determined ... and that’s it. Yu//saku is a blank slate for the viewers to project on. Yu//saku is honestly NOTHING. 

Honestly, Yu///saku isn’t strong as he cheats the MAJORITY of his duels, he isn’t smart as rarely does he do anything that’s smart, wanting to brutal force the solution and he doesn’t follow his own advice. 

Yu//saku: Bonds are important and the only thing that are absolutes

Yu//saku then fucks off for 3 MONTHS NOT TELLING ANYONE

And like Re//volver, his “development” is forced as hell. He just says things that make no sense for him to say. Yu//saku shouldn’t say revenge doesn’t help WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY DID. The show was supporting him and he got the guy that kidnapped him killed and then he got better. HELL JI//N WAS SAID TO GET BETTER ONCE THE K//OH WERE BEAT.

Actually i remember a lot of these people being accused.

Jschlatt has a ling history of being accused and people trying to cancel him, often for being abusive, and tubbo breifly was beign accused etc.

And johny depp? You dont remember THE drama that was very much not just all lver the internet but news outlets????

What rock you sitting under? Cause thats how i KNOW your lying.

Also ive seen several people and wouldnt take long for me at all to find #shubblesupportsquad stans wishing death not just on wilbur, but any of his supoorters as well, to the point i stopped listening to most SSS bwciase ive blocked the tag SLOWLY bwcuase of suicide baiting and death wishing alone.

To the people wishing death upon wilbur

Do you remember when people took sides when it came to allegations about jschlatt, will wood, Jonny depth, quackity, tubbo, and every other creator who was accused of thing with little to no proof or even any good factual proof? Why is it any different for wilbur? Your not a Saint or a hero or an abuse victim supporter for telling a man to kill himself it makes you no better than an abuser. I hope your proud of yourselves because you and shebly are the reason victims of abuse have to show proof

[sodrippy]

idk if u shoud post this bc if u criticise s*lver u get shit for it but like i never could get what it was that made ppl so obsessed with him like i get he had a horrible past and was traumatised and can empathise with that but after a poin it becomes hard esp when he spends the majority of the show working actively against characters i care a lot more about and not to say the actor is bad but they tried so hard to convince us how charismatic and convincing s*lver is and i just never bought it

anon, bro, just between us, you are so hot and this message is so sexy thank you. same though like I feel the same way about fl/nt too, I understand their histories and traumas and respect that but after a point it just crosses lines that i can't justify yknow, and in s4 specifically ofc bc i love billy im like ok ur all cancelled ahdhwhd. and the thing that's infuriating to me personally is the audience will ignore a Lot of shitty stuff for them but not do the bare minimum of the same for other characters despite equally valid motivators and you're like...well okay then lol

[blueeyeswhitegarden]

☕ V/r has some good ideas and concepts but the execution handled with each character leaves it much to be desired.

I definitely agree. There are plenty of ideas in Vr//ains that I think are interesting and could work, but I don’t think that they’re executed particularly well. I don’t know how popular or unpopular this opinion is and I don’t want to upset fans of the series either way, so I’ll put a couple of examples under the cut.

In my opinion, no other character embodies this issue for me quite like Yus//aku. He’s a kid consumed with revenge, thinking that it is the only way he can deal with his traumatic experience and is largely left isolated. That could make for an interesting lead, especially if he slowly becomes more friendly with other characters, but the show is much more concerned with making him the traditionally cool hero figure instead. Even before he effectively saved the world, he was constantly praised as the hero who saved Link Vra//ins. It makes his PTSD come off more like window dressing. They don’t really focus on anything about his trauma other than his anger and desire for revenge. There’s nothing like Yus//aku struggling to sleep at night, suddenly waking up for a nightmare or being worried over losing a duel when he’s pushed into a corner because of what losing a duel meant when he was tortured. None of that makes Yus//aku look cool like being full of righteous fury does. I’m by no means an expert on PTSD or mental health issues, but when they only focus on one aspect of his trauma and emphasize how heroic much more than any of the negative effects of his childhood trauma, then it does give the impression that they’re just using Yus//aku’s PTSD as a quick and easy way to make him look more complex. You can definitely give a traditionally cool character more depth, but the two concepts don’t really mix well with Yus//aku. It’s like they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Plus, there’s also a lot of show, don’t tell problems with most of the characters, including Yus//aku. During his last duel with Revo//lver, there was a scene where Yus//aku felt all isolated in a sea of empty faces due to his trauma. It is a nice image, but I honestly never got the impression that Yus//aku is really that lonely, or at least that his isolation from other people has bothered him that much. Aside from arguably A//i, Yus//aku doesn’t really have any friends and said so even at the end of the first season. Kusa//nagi is basically just his tech support and we don’t know any of their history, so I don’t see them as friends. This is a huge problem not just for Yus//aku, but also for the series since friendship is the whole theme of this franchise. I wouldn’t say that he’s happy to be mostly by himself exactly, but he’s never attempted to reach out to people only to be too uncomfortable or thinking that he couldn’t really connect with him. If that kind of emotional vulnerability was actually shown more often instead of being told, I might find Yus//aku more interesting instead of yet another traditionally cool protagonist. I’m honestly still waiting for the magic of friendship to heal Yus//aku’s emotional trauma because that would fit much better with this franchise than only dueling for revenge.

Even the most recent episodes with Oni//zuka’s change leaves me with mixed feelings. He is one of the few characters in the series that I actually think is interesting and giving some focus to characters not named Yus//aku is nice, but I wasn’t expecting his motivation to be as self-centered as it was. To give the show credit, they did basically call Oni//zuka out for being selfish and being a sore loser to boot, which was nice, but since he and A//oi did virtually nothing to stop the Knights during the previous arc, Oni//zuka getting upset that Play//maker was getting more attention and praise than him made him come off as much more shallow and self-centered than maybe the writers intended. Part of it does come down to me being upset that he and A//oi are considered heroes who saved Link Vra//ins when all they did was lose to further hype up Yus//aku’s next opponents, especially when I thought Oni//zuka losing to Revo//lver would play more of a key role in his decision to become a bounty hunter, but even the execution of this concept on a character that I like more than Yus//aku seems a bit questionable to me.

Thank you for asking. ^_^
