I love talking to rabbis as a recent conversion student because the interaction goes something like, "you're converting? Now?! At this time, at this moment in history?!". And they always talk about this influx of jewish convert students they've seen recently, and it's like...

There's this level of respect I get from rabbis for converting at this point in time, but... Has there ever been a good time to be a jew in the last thousand years or so plus? I'm imagining that rabbis and jews in general back in 1492, back in 1290, back in 1349 would have said the exact same thing. So, really, there is only a time to be a jew. Maybe it's not a "good" time, yes, but it is a time. And to me, that's good enough

Don't you like how TGCF, the novel where MC's image is still considered "pure" and worthy of religious faith even after being brutally physically mutilated, martyred, tortured, but an ounce of self gratification, of expressing sexual desire would "taint" that image and cause him to lose power, where MC could only ever be happy after letting go of the "proper" ways of his cultivation method to live a fulfilling married life, gets praised for being the "pure" danmei novel because there is no explicit sexual scenes in it due to strict censorship on any sexual content in china that could lead to authors facing actual jail time, despite severe body horror and cruelty, basically everything crude you could come up with being depicted in the said book. How some dipshits actually are audacious enough to announce that they prefer the censored "untainted" version of hualian because it shows how "pure" their love is. Then say that they didn't like the extra's implications right after that... because eww!! Kinky.

ngl it's a little funny to see oilers fans complain about the panthers being "classless" and having "no sportsmanship" because of the 'fuck mcdavid' chants and marchand's trolling. ...how about you worry about your fellow oilers fans who sent death threats to skinner first before worrying about some mostly harmless celebrations and chirping, mmk?

I wish there was a way to keep updated w/ mcyt drama without watching the youtube yapping content farms

Seeing a shipper of a certain ship post how they got death threats for being realistic about BakuDeku not becoming canon and celebrating that their ship became "canon" as payback is absurd to me.

Like... no... that is not the flex you think it is...

I don't condone sending death threats (especially, over fictional ships), but I also don't think flaunting around the fact you got death threats is okay either.

"My ship is canon." Is it though? I wouldn't say so. As I said in another post for a different fandom, some people really forgotten that the word "implied" exists.

I wouldn't say that ship is canon. They dapped each other up for crying out loud. They didn't kiss, they didn't even hug. Those two characters? Didn't even hug?! Are you kidding me? And I don't even recall the word "date" being used except for when Kuroiro and Kinoko were mentioned.

If you're going to say it's "realistic" (which I don't think that word really should apply to a manga where someone can shoot tape from his elbows) that BakuDeku didn't become canon, then shouldn't have been "realistic" that your ship was way more visually romantic given the reputation Shonen mangas tend to have with M/F ships?

Other than that, I wouldn't say that they're "canon".

Anyone can do a handshake like that with someone else without having romantic context behind it, so I wouldn't be celebrating "Yay, I got threats by these shippers and their ship isn't canon"!

Pfffft, like that's gonna stop the fact that BakuDeku are still going to make art, write fics, post edits, write analysis posts, make playlists and so on and so forth. The ship wasn't canon then! It doesn't have to be canon to be enjoyed.

I said it before but come 2025, certain shippers need to know not to tag with the main ship tag because then it is clear you're just looking for attention.

If you want to talk hate about BakuDeku or any ship, don't tag it at all.

i'm about 2 seconds from begging for violent death threats in the asks

[asgardian--angels]

things I wish I could relive for the first time again:

that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.

because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.

like how is it that the fans of a piece of media are also the ones being the most negative about it? If I like a show or a movie or a book, well, I liked it. That's kind of the point. I'm actually not here to tear it apart and talk about how it didn't live up to standards other people had! I enjoyed it for what it was, and forcing myself to find negative things to say about it doesn't actually bring me more enjoyment of it or reap any benefit to me. Fandom's a double-edged sword; you want to join a community to share your love for a piece of art, and the price you pay for a modicum of joy is a mountain of negativity. that's one main reason that I never engage with fandom until I'm completely done with a show, because if I was plugged into all of that commentary and discourse during the process, I'd be completely colored by how I'm expected to interpret everything this piece of art is presenting to me without being able to even form my own opinions.

It never ceases to amuse me when I check out a new follower to make sure they're not a pornbot and in either their description or their pinned post they have "proshippers DNI." You interacted first, my guy. This shit goes both ways.

[dafpork]

dafpork is like a modern day speakeasy to me because everyone comes in like it’s forbidden but since it’s the modern day it’s perfectly normal. Little secret club

LMAO YES!!! THIS IS A REALLY GOOD ANALOGY.. AND SEE IT'S SO FUNNY because i'm like I DON'T WANT IT TO BE FORBIDDEN... i'm such an accidental hypocrite in that regard because i'm like "i want more people to talk about them i want people to be loud and proud it makes me sad to hear that people might have been initially embarrassed to ship them there's so much to love :(((( anyway here's my SHITTY ART of these people i HATE i'm so EMBARRASSED thanks for putting up with me in my SHAME CORNER UGH i'm so EMBARRASSED they're so EMBARRASSING i SUCK they SUCK it all SUCKS" LOL and i do mean it in a joking manner... mostly... but i'm kind of now at the point where i'm like. Okay well you're going to have to put in some more legwork if you want people to talk about them. (but, again, just the fact that people talk about and support them enough is so great! it's so weird and wonderful to me that people are calling it on dafpork on platforms other than this one, people who may not know i exist... it's cool hearing a term you and your friend came up with in a private discord be used, it shows how much growth there HAS been since there really used to be nothing!)

a dafpork speakeasy sounds so cool though oh my god can you imagine Porky and Daffy themed cocktails...............

COME JOIN US AT THE DAFPORK SPEAKEASY. which, you are not supposed to advertise that a speakeasy is a speakeasy. but it's subversive. like Daffy. or something. this is your sign to play pig and duck with us. yes you

"His last move was a fuck you to the team that damaged his health and reputation. Isn't that so poetic" For a team that was trying to push him out in 2018, favoured his rookie teammate over him, lied to his face multiple times about getting a seat on the main team and is now responsible for his mid-season firing. Ok. We're getting a bit ridiculous here.

hot take but k/yo d/ir en g/rey is overrated. i said what i said

[froganni]

Maybe a little overly serious approach to the situation, but y'all have GOT to be more respectful towards the creators you watch and consume content for. fWhip's message about getting a lot of hate is honestly abysmal.

Like, don't get me wrong, I love lore-related series! I think they're a lot of fun and I love watching them.But give non-lore series a chance! They're also a lot of fun!

These creators are all responsible adults who are very capable of creating boundaries for themselves and deciding amongst themselves what rules they want to follow when joining a project.

Obviously, there are many viewers and community members who this isn't directed at. :D

Please don't send hate to anyone, it's not helpful. If you don't like something, don't engage with it. Just leave it at that. Show respect to the community you're apart of, and to the creators that head it.

(It's fine to be annoyed with something and talk about it, but don't force a creator to see that negativity. It's not benefiting anyone.) The more hate a creator gets, the less they engage with and organize fun things for the community. Please remember to be kind.

I'm not saying you kissing him would make you gay, I'm saying it would make you not homophobic because you're kissing a gay person. So do it right now

NO I WILL NOT.

begging people to just block annoying accounts on the internet and move on oh my god-
