not going to respond further on the actual post because I don't want to start an argument in my mutual's comments and also the person who left the comment clearly doesnt actually care about it but the experience was so baffling I've got to talk about it. this was said about caitvi

ok so the cop argument, I've heard it before that's nothing new. don't get me wrong I hate cops as much as the next self respecting person, but I don't think it's a valid argument. not going to get into it, I think cait haters just need to get over themselves. yeah she does bad shit. EVERYONE does bad shit in arcane. the enforcers are not portrayed as a good organisation.
the part that really had me ???? was 'one of them is british'. hello??? neither of them are british, britain doesn't exist. does this person not watch anything with british actors??? I know that people have done a 180 after the anglophilia or whatever of the 2010s and yeah that's funny. but dismissing a canon lesbian couple who have complex characterisations, grey morality, and their own individual arcs, with their lesbianism being incidental (this NEVER happens anymore), because one of them has a british accent is wild.
#i wrote out what i think was a rather polite response and they responded 'idgaf' within 25 seconds#so i think they probably don't actually want to engage with arcane critically lmao#reads like someone who hasnt actually watched arcane but has formed their opinions based on twitter discourse LMAO#i know it's silly to get upset by someone like this. but FUCK im tired of queer rep having to be completely perfect people#or else they'll be dismissed as bad rep#ive seen so many jayvik shippers be like 'i dont like caitvi because cait is a bad person and did bad things'#but youre good with eliminate humanity mcgee??#so the gays can genocide but the lesbians can't be tools of the state who are blinded by revenge. ok#sometimed i feel like a bad lesbian because i engage more with the jayvik side of the fandom.#but it's just because im content with how caitvi were handled in canon#i dont feel the need to consume fanworks when the canon material is so satisfying
