Once again raging about shitty research standards and the methodology and ethical decision-making of like, a significant majority of my peers. This is why I can never change my blog title, it's too accurate to my soul.
#look it's really just like. genuinely wild that everyone talks sooo much about how flawed academia is#and then people turn around and try to throw out the actual safeguards in place to even marginally address those flaws#because they consider them inconvenient and elitist gatekeeping#holy fuck jesus mary and joseph. sending everyone to ethics class#not BACK to ethics class cuz I don't think they attended the first time but yanno#do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars#also for the record I do not actually work in export controls I would hate that lmao#this is just about compliance in general

Everyone out here "omg the anime cut this omg the anime cut that how COULD they omg I hope they don't adapt this LN or I hope they do adapt this LN....." etc etc and I'm just here like "damn I'm so glad bungou stray dogs has an anime and we're getting new seasons"
I'm just genuinely happy to have anything at all
Is the anime adaptation perfect? No of course not
Am I just happy the anime is still ongoing? Absofuckinglutely
#bungou stray dogs#bsd#bungou sd#bungo stray dogs#bungou#bungo#bungo sd#listen.#nothing is perfect#except the bsd manga#im just grateful this series is still going strong and didnt get cancelled or abandoned#as much as i hate how disgusting and cringy the fanbase is becoming#im so fucking glad it got popular enough to get to that point#and has enough support to keep airing#because as much as i hate people and want to gatekeep the FUCK out of this series#i understand my obsession and love alone is not nearly enough to keep an anime afloat#im honestly just so fucking happy to have this series ongoing#and im happy that so many people enjoy it to#even if they don't love or understand it like i do lmao#but everyones entitled to their own opinons and interpretations so i stay in my lane and let people enjoy things#even if they do it wrong lol

it's like i'm sorry even if you wanted to find a natural environment for them you can't honestly just go lmao arlathan just because it's fucking there bc even if you set aside the fact that these 12 were eggs that came from generations of griffons that were companions for people, griffons were said to originate from seheron?? arlathan forest isn't even the right environment lmaooooooo
#tbd#bioware critical#arlathan forest is not a tropical jungle#still a mistake unless the jungles of seheron are still hiding griffons tho idk man you can't#have assan be that fucking baby through the whole game and then try to say its fine to just let 12 of those fend for themselves#in the game the correct option is they stay with the wardens there are literally only 12 of them left#it's so idiotic and also isseya was never trying to gatekeep griffons from wardens#she wanted the wardens to have that chance again and be worthy of it#she saved the eggs FOR THAT FUTURE so griffons and wardens could be a true partnership again#sorry i hate the fOrEsT gUaRdIAns bs esp here where they apparently take 48039584903 years to grow and are hardwired#to get aggro and fight darkspawn lmao like darkspawn still exist even after this weird game right???#they were in arlathan forest?#not to mention the 23489059045840985 other things that can go wrong#datv spoilers

Iām honestly surprised that people are saying Keanu reeves is a bad choice despite the popular fan discussions about it. Where Iām at in the internet, heās considered a good choice and people were excited.
i cant speak for everyone obviously but ive always thought he was a bad choice for shadow ever since the idea started going around 2 years ago. because from what ive heard personally he doesnt really sound like shadow + i hate it when big movie stars are given voice acting roles in movie adaptations just to have a big name attached to the project even if theyre not good for the role. and this definitely feels like that. back in the day people were only saying he should be shadow NOT because his voice actually fits but because hes an edgy action guy or whatever and movie sonic is canonically a fan of him/his movies and they could make jokes out of that. and i feel like thats Still what a lot of peoples reasoning is which annoys me because shadow isnt just an edgy action guy and i dont think his voice should be chosen based on a joke of all things especially if the voice isnt fitting enough to justify it
not gonna say my opinion is the most popular but i know that there are a lot of people who agree with me on this, or at the very least are unsure about it. a lot of people dont want him
#i also have to wonder how many people who wanted keanu or are excited about the supposed casting are actual sonic fans ....?#like im not trying to gatekeep or say anybody whos said he'd be a good fit is a fake fan or whatever#but . ive seen a lottt of dedicated sonic fans and people who are very familiar with shadow say they hate this#in fact most if not all people ive seen saying theyhate it are in that category#and ive also seen a lot of people whos interest in sonic ranges from very very casual to practically nonexistent comment on this too#and theyre the ones who only have positive things to say and think this is an epic win or something#so i have to wonder how popular a choice it is among not so casual sonic fans. particularly ones who really like shadow#compared to how popular a choice it is among the general internet#and not to be mean but i honestly think that actual fans' opinions matter more than random internet users' with this sort of thing lmao#asks#i suppose theres no way to know for certain right now if his voice would fit#since theres no clips of him specifically doing the voice that he would give to shadow#but. from what i personally have heard. he doesnt sound like shadow to me#not even in a ''different take than what im used to but still fits the character'' kind of way. just doenst work at all

me complaining abt witchtok lmao
remember when on witchtok (i've never even had a tiktok i'm just a witch and was whenever witchtok got super popular lmao) years ago all anyone talked abt was how deity worship+work is advanced and trickster deity this imposter spirit that constantly. one time I WASNT EVEN LIKE "THATS NOT TRUE" CUZ MAYBE THATS TRUE TO+FOR SOMEONE. I WAS JUST LIKE. "huh. that's not my experience. i was called to by a deity before i was a witch or even super in the know about all this stuff. so deity stuff was the first thing i did. it seems for y'all it's the other way around, but for me i wouldn't be a witch if i wasn't pagan. 99% of the witchcraft i do is devotional. " AND SO MANY TIKTOK WITCH PEOPLE COMMENTED YELLIN AT ME SAYIN HOW U SHOULDNT DO THAT BC ANY COMMUNICATION WITH A DEITY IS ADVANCED SHIT AND I WAS SPREADING DANGEROUS MISINFORMATION N HOW THEY WER GONNA HEX ME N SHIT. which ofc they didn't. or maybe since most of em wer self proclaimed baby witches it just didn't work lmao. but anyway now more recently i see those same witchtok ppl go back on that and be like "eh it wasn't that serious it's not advanced" and i'm like šš„“
#like i'm glad they don't still have that dumbass imo take anymore or are less annoying about it#i'm just bitter i got flamed for it šš only for them to come around and agree with me#i think they forgot too that not every pagan/polytheist/whatever is a witch. and we don't all have th same trajectory or sequence of events#like it's not baby witch -> advanced witch -> deity worshipper/whatever. i hate the formula-ification of being a witch the internet does#or being any thing for that matter#i don't do any let alone 800 cleansing n banishing n protection rituals to pray like they made it seem like u need to lmao#that shit fucks with my ocd and anxiety#also for the 80000 times i've been warned about trickster spirits and deities impersonating whoever u mean to actually reach#i've only heard one (1) actual story from someone who that actually happened to and they wer like#yeah i could tell right away it wasn't them. it was fine tho. LMAO#i think too that a lot of the witches who said that said it bc they themselves worshipped/worked w/whatever deities#and wanted to think of themselves+be seen as more advanced and cool lmao which is. corny asf#but yeah also resulted in a lot of unnecessary gatekeeping and fearmongering and is pretty ahistorical anyway#anywayyyy that was just somethin i remembered a min ago. sorry for the long tags lmao#haunt haunts šŖ¦#pagan#paganblr#witchblr#witchcraft

God's weakest creations are the "I hate Max and only like him as a character" fic writers/readers.
#i will gatekeep max like it's my job#No#you don't get to hate him#belittle everything about him#wish literal death on him#then write stories about him just cause its ~artistic discretion or whatever. Find someone you actually like.#to write THOUSANDS OF WORDS about him#THEN MAKE A *POLL* ON HOW HE SHOULD DIE????????/ LMAO#idc if you think its funny

i really hope ghost wins the Grammy for best metal performance, not because I think they deserve it more than the other nominees but because it would piss off a lot of metalheads and I think that would be really funny
#not to say they donāt deserve it on their own merits lmao#I like ghost I swear#the way some metalheads hate ghost and their fans with a passion is just so embarassing#like I wouldnāt 100% classify ghost as metal either- some of their songs more than others though absolutely#if you held a gun to my head Iād probably say hard rock with goth and symphonic influences#but so fucking what Iām not gonna be a dick about it#i need to grasp some of these people by the shoulders and rattle them around until they understand listening to heavy music#doesnāt make them superior or an authority on what is real metal and what isnāt#the gatekeeping and general snobbishness in the metal community has been so much lately#music is an escape not a major league sport#leave it. let people enjoy things. you donāt need to comment on every one of their posts that theyāre posers and actually pop#one no one cares and two no theyāre not have you ever heard pop before in your life. even if they were thatās not an inherently bad thing#just because you donāt like a certain genre doesnāt mean itās objectively bad. it means you donāt like it dingbat#anyways that turned into a rant#this post was meant to be silly#im done now#i donāt know if this post will be controversial

I like how the wiki simply takes her word for it
#my apologies if i'm interpreting everything wrong but i kinda always assumed that was a blatant lie... š#come on girl. you weren't born yesterday. you're like THE person people are thinking about when they say gaslight gatekeep girlboss.#who are you fooling girl. please tell me you never believed for one second that far zenith were working class heroes š#not that i think she was lying about pursuing elisabet's dream mind you.#i just have to wonder what her perfect world looks like... for someone who's so controlling and a perfectionist...#i miss my takuto cryo sleep au :/#i love to make those two interact bc i genuinely believe they could talk for hours on end about their perfect worlds#and not realize that they have two very different things in mind until it's too late lmao#unfortunately it's pretty hard to work on stuff when you hate everything you write so. oh well!#i guess i'll just continue going insane talking to myself alone on main#ramble

Fancyā¢ independent research library in my city: one of our big drives is to push for more diversity in our hiring and try to make our space more inclusive. we want more bipoc visitors and members, too!
FIRL interviewing people who arenāt straight, cis, and white: oh my god, youāre so boring, Iām going to interrupt you before you can answer the question I just asked
FIRL tour guide to my Latina friend : you canāt go up the stairs! youāre not a member! *letās a group of white people go up without questions*
#brought to you by my friend's kind of awful experiences there#she did not have a good time#she's qualified and has a ton of experience and the HR person was so unpleasant to her#I've noticed that the people that get hired there--and I know about 5 people who have been--are all thin straight white women#they also pay absolute shit#you're one of the most prestigious libraries in the country andĀ the biggest starting salary I've seen is $55k for someone with a PhD#lmao this is why I stopped applying for things there#anyway I love what I do but I HATE the pretension and gatekeeping in my field
