#i hate stan culture

[bandzboy]

i am indeed very TIRED

[jdeanmorgan]

sometimes i can’t think about one direction without getting so angry it makes me want to scream. the way they were overworked to the bone, to the point where one of them refuses to perform live due to the sheer trauma he went through... they way their own fans treated them, even. the sheer dehumanization of them. It just makes me so angry.

Cause like... Kpop culture is so fucking weird and insane. You can either be normal about kpop or it completely changes you as a person. Sadly, a lot of people are not normal about kpop

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator

that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.

she is absolutely a victim, in show.

that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.

she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.

headcanon that hazel had the most parasocial beef imaginable with shirley temple. 8 year old hazel was writing hate mail to the local paper with her crayons calling the also 8 year old shirley a sellout and an industry plant. in 2010 hazel's watching nick at nite on the fifth cohort rec room tv and sees the 2 minute long shirley temple box set commercial and loses her fucking mind.

In full seriousness I think it’s valid to dislike a story for all kinds of reasons, including “it’s just not my jam.” Where I get deeply irritable is when people say “XYZ is a bad story (often with the implied or explicit corollary “and anyone who writes or enjoys such a story is bad”) because it asks me to care about and/or show interest in understanding characters I find annoying/unpleasant/weak/otherwise flawed, and/or generally makes me uncomfortable.”

This is because I unironically believe that pathological unwillingness to sit with discomfort is (1) the death of empathy and curiosity, (2) an extremely powerful tool for oppression, and (3) a serious societal problem especially in societies that benefit from said oppression.

it’s also baffling to me that tumblr, home of the ‘why are white men Still being cast as the doctor’ for So many years now (For you know, like over a decade.) is somehow not appalled that they hired a white dude to be the next Doctor because look okay it’s okay if it’s This white man. 

I mean, I do not consent to acknowledge that they’ve shoved him in there under any circumstance, but my Only need for the casting of the next person was that it was Not a white man, otherwise i didn’t care who it was, so when they “announced” Gatwa I was satisfied (i am hesitant to say they announced it bc it was more like a tiny footnote than an announcement, oh the disrespect) and it took a whole seven days (it was literally seven days. Yes i counted. it was easy since it was only seven days) it was ‘actually sorry no it’s this white dude we’ve already had before did we forget to mention that???’ and it’s steadily gotten worse and worse. 

That This site of all places is not up in arms about both the situation and how it specifically played out is depressing, but also massively and darkly hilarious.  

Especially since i Also remember nobody on this site thought casting Whittaker was good enough but literally going backward to a previous white man is?? This is not even a metaphor about diversity getting worse, they literally looked backwards. 

But, yeah,  tenn/ant with the ‘what the future looks like’ headline is uh... Good???? Not super worrying and ominous? 

I feel like i’ve been dumped in some weird parallel universe by reactions to all of this on here like??? the whole way this was done was appalling, the situation is appalling, but i guess the bbc/disney should get a rousing round of applause for accurately judging that nobody would care about their poor actions if the specific white guy they cast was popular enough that next to nobody would care. 

( and to the ‘it’s an anniversary ep’ thing, they legit could have just set a couple of eps in the past. i don’t mean they travel to the past. i mean just say ‘hey this ep is set during s4!’ and nobody would care. this show does weirder stuff than this every second episode. and it would still be bad, but how they did it is so much Worse.)

Guys, can y'all be honest with me? Why do some people HATE Jared padalecki. Like, I always thought he was a pretty nice guy, based on what I'd seen about him. If you hate JP, pls tell me why. I genuinely wanna know if there's reasons I shouldn't stan him??

[shewhotellsstories]

I’m not a Joe Alwyn stan, I know nothing about the man. I’m just very interested in stan culture and I’ve gotta say it’s a bit jarring to see everyone swear up and down that they “know” so much about a relationship they weren’t a part of and swear that he’s an evil incel and feel so confident about this that stans are conformably cyber bullying every woman he’s ever interacted with. People break up, it sucks, but it’s also life.

I currently have an exam worth 20% of my grade and for the first time in my whole life, as someone who literally kills herself each exam season (and hurts herself real bad each exam) I genuinely feel nothing. I don’t even care if I get 0% that much atp I’m just so done. I have the work in front of me and I’m like idec enough to study atp after years of it being like this

[artificialcaretaker]

NATHAN EXPLOSION IS FUCKING BRASILIAN?!?!?!?!?!?!

[fromtheseventhhell]

Huge fan of annoying stans getting their comeuppance in the form of either a) getting the ending they wanted but it being so poorly written that it's universally criticized and ignored (bonus points if it involves the writers or cast doing damage control and recontextualizing things) or b) them getting the exact opposite ending to what they predicted with only the tiniest of crumbs towards what they wanted (bonus points if the crumbs in question have to be misinterpreted to count)

the freaks that made mothercain deactivate her tumblr i am going to find you and smash in your kneecaps with hammers

[useful-boy]

Learning about the Wade Wilson killer tonight, and I kept hearing that people thought this guy was "too pretty" for prison, like he was just soooo hot because he had face tattoos, then I finally see a pic of him and 1.) He's ugly, and 2.) These people are just racist smh, more than one of them are literally just fucking swastikas. I hate everyone on the internet

[ghhoulgang]
