I'm gonna be so honest with y'all. I don't take you seriously if you complain about the casting of the Percy Jackson show because the poc actors aren't "book accurate."

Because here's the deal. I remember when the internet threw a fit when Rue, a black character, was played by a black person. It didn't matter that it was book accurate, y'all didn't want to see a black person on screen.

For some of y'all, it's not that you are against adaptations straying from the source material- you are simply anti black.

If you are about to argue with me, I want you to ask yourself something. Did you not mind the race change of Grover, but you are against the casting of Annabeth? If that's true, maybe try to address that. Acknowledge it and try to deconstruct your anti-black biases.

I started the last post with "I'm so tired" too, but it just gets more true every day.

My last post was about how my real life sucks, but man, I can't even come to the internet as an escape from the intellectual collapse of academia anymore.

I'm just trying to browse in peace without being bombarded with people virtue signalling, advocating for media to be sanitized, and arguing over whether it's morally responsible to ship a character who is a literal murderer with someone that he said something mean to once.

Like, is this where we're at?

Is this really where we're at?

so what's your take on the bioware layoffs/ dragon age game situation? (asking cause u briefly mentioned in tags on that post)

oof that's a big question, anon.

to put it simply, I don't think there is one singular answer- Bioware/EA treated staff like shit, the very same staff that made this game possible- that is not up for debate.

does that mean the game should be boycotted? I can only assume that some people will believe that, many others won't because honestly trying to dodge products that have come from ethically/morally dubious sources in today's society is almost impossible.

there's also the fact that those same staff members and those that remain put so much time and effort into the game either way- is it the right thing to ignore the game completely, if that's the case?

it's not ideal, no. in my own selfish way I desperately want the game to be good, to experience the thrill of a new game and the fandom madness that goes with it. it most likely won't be a perfect game (is any game?) and we have to look at how the layoffs and treatment of staff may have impacted that.

but... i choose to remain hopeful, i guess. maybe its just the nostalgia goggles. i don't believe there's a clear cut answer- it's for each person to decide for themselves, it's too nuanced.

tired. i've been nothing but tired anxious frustrated. and tired! did i mention tired?

I genuinely despise how ego-driven professors feel.

‘You must show up to all the classes, and only after I taught you the subject of today the presentation will go up!’

Because they desperately need the praise of being heard, or something.

I’m an autodeduct, and I doubt I’m the only one.

If I could cut a class and then just study the presentation in 20 minutes more effectively than they could ever teach me I’d rejoice.
