I need to rant about a problem I have with Rise! Raph

… ok, that’s a bit misleading. I have no problems with him, but I absolutely do with how this fandom can treat him.

Namely, the flanderization of his character. Specifically the part about him being the nicest iteration of Raph, because I see SO MANY people make him out to be the nicest softest most UwU-est boy when ITS ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE GODAMMIT AND IM TIRED OF IT.

HES ROWDY. HE LIKES FIGHTING. HE TRIED TO LIFT UP A BUS AND HE STILL. HAS. ANGER ISSUES!! HES JUST BETTER AT MANAGING THEM FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Please. I’m so tired of people acting like he never gets upset or angry and is the nicest person to ever exist in this godamn franchise.

Because yes, he is nice! And I love that about him, but some people are so extreme about his softness I’m going to blow a fuse if I see more of it.

Stop contributing to the flanderization of characters, guys. I love his kindness as much as anyone else but it’s NOT HIS ONLY TRAIT.

This won’t be getting a lick of attention but I just had to say it.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

I’m not trying to be mean by the way this is just all my opinion and it sorta just boiled over after I saw this happen again on some random post!

I don’t claim to know Raph better than anyone else, of course. But some people for sure don’t know him! And I won’t apologize for saying that because I’ve noticed mischaracterization is a huge problem for this fan base, and I think everyone should take a moment and reflect on how they portray these characters.

Ok bye guys have a good day/night/whenever!! Again, just my opinions :) I was bored idk (I could go on for hours about him tbh)

[scorpiusmalfoylovesoscarwilde]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I'm sure it won't be the last time. I AM SICK AND BLOODY TIRED OF THESE MFS, HALF OF WHO DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT CURSED CHILD, BITCHING AND MOANING ABOUT AN ANGSTY TEEN DARING TO BE AN ANGSTY TEEN, I WILL FIGHT THE LOT OF YOU

(this is gonna be a bit long and probably incoherent so sit down and fucking listen to me 🔫 stick with me because I'm not just complaining about albus haters)

eVERYBODY wants cOoMmpllEeXx relatable HUMAN characters - and then SHIT themselves when the flaws a CHILD has isn't just 🥺 uwu im socially awkward and traumatised 🥺. that's why scorpius doesn't get this fuckass treatment, because his terrible human flaw is that he's a bit shit at conversation and gets sad about his dead mum (generalised understatement, but this post isnt about him. dont come for me i love him 🫶🏻)

god forbid albus, who feels unloved and unwanted (with valid evidence for a teenager), albus who feels completely out of place and outcast from his entire famously-close-knit family, ablus who is well known by the world by default via Harry and hates the attention and high expectations, albus who then gets targeted and bullied by his peers because he's not as perfect and brilliant as his father, albus who is then isolated from his one friend because Harry is making irrational ptsd fueled decisions, albus who tells Harry completely sincerely that he knows he's unlikeable but he'll try and change himself and be more like his siblings because he genuinely believes that's what Harry and everyone else whos had the misfortune of meeting him wants, albus who spends the entire play trying to prove himself and fix things via idiotic childish decisions BECAUSE HES A WHOLE UNSTABLE CHILD

god forbid that CHILD doesn't react like a patient, supported, well adjusted, level headed adult. god forbid he reacts outwardly. god forbid he reacts at all, my bad. clearly he should just sniffle a bit as if he doesn't feel suffocated and helpless by everything in his life, because obviously hes just a spoiled brat who doesn't know what real suffering is. god forbid he complains or feels anything negatively, or doesn't quite grasp that other people are struggling too because he is too busy trying so hard to deal with himself and his declining mental health the best he can with basically no support or understanding. god forbid he isn't completely perfect.

you all sound like some fucking boomer telling teenagers they don't know what real struggling is, they aren't mentally ill, they dont have any problems because they have a roof over their head, they should all go to war kids are too soft these days 😫😖😱 fUCKING‼️SHUT UP‼️

he does things wrong but he knows he does and he does everything he can to fix it! and he is fourteen!!! do none of you remember what being fourteen is like 😭😭 I swear half of you have got to be basically fourteen yourselves cmon man

cause I'm seeing this fucking pattern a lot recently. not just for albus, not just in this fandom, everywhere. ‼️ no one can fucking handle flawed characters anymore ‼️ the only thing any character is allowed to have wrong with them is trauma apparently, otherwise they have to be perfect, and I'm getting sick of it. characters and stories are meant to reflect real life, they're meant to help shape our world view, why are you expecting everyone to be fucking perfect??? what happened to nuance? what happened to understanding character development? you are all acting like characters and people are so black and white. either they're perfect or they're insufferable and evil. I won't lie, the most common victims i've noticed of this are women. but the flawed women are typically demonised, whereas the men are typically turned into uwu baby boys who actually aren't capable of doing anything wrong and then fanon goes nuts making them into ittle wittle victims. and I'm so fucking sick of all of it, I hate this. (obviously this is not a strict rule. Albus Potter, and also Albus Dumbledore now I mention it, are demonised beyond belief)

BRING BACK FLAWS AND BRING BACK NOT COMPLETELY WRITING OFF A CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY DARE TO BE HUMAN

I AM FED UP, ALBUS POTTER GET BEHIND ME

[gello-strands]

You're incredibly correct about scout btw. There was a poll awhile ago called "which merc is the most trans" and YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO SCORED OVER 30% OF ALL VOTES.

Like cool fine it's just headcanons. But its so annoying to be scrolling through the trans tag on ao3 and almost all the tf2 ones are scout snivelling over whatever made up problem ails him in this particular universe. Gah.

YES THANK YOU. I have zero problem with trans headcanons but when it becomes fully accepted in fanon it makes it insanely hard to find any other interesting takes or opinions on the character other than "he's a trans boy!!"

And most of the time their reasoning for why they headcanon him as trans is "oh he has anxiety and he's the twinkiest of the group!!" And I hate to be that guy™ but why is the most commonly trans character, the youngest and the most conventionally attractive?

Like I mentioned earlier, having Scout largely accepted as trans really closes the door on any other interpretation of his character!! And the way people characterize him as trans is so boring!!

Im sorry if any of you are huge fans of the anxiety-ridden daddy-issues-having twinky little depresso baby boy version of his character, but I absolutely HATE IT!!

I see a lot of people acting like it's a deep and interesting look on his character but in my opinion it really isn't!

Sure, he does get urked when his dad is brought up, and sure he is pretty damn awkward sometimes. But I think his dumbass confidence is fully genuine most of the time!

He has anxiety because of his ego, he doesn't have an ego because of his anxiety.

People really just pull issues out of their ass for an excuse to make him a sad uwu boy. Even in a case where he IS going to lose, he's still the type to be a huge egotistical dick about it!! And I love that about him!!

Now I will say, I don't read much fanfiction myself, but I roleplay quite a bit and I do engage in a lot of general fanworks! And it really bothers me when people so blatantly favor Scout over other characters to the point that everyone else is nothing but a tool for something interesting to happen to their precious pookie bear.

If your going to see Scout as this serious, deep, multi-layered character, then the least you could do is give somewhat of the same treatment to other mercs! Especially spy considering how much of a plot device he can be to Scout!

But in SO MANY CASES. Spy is nothing but a evil mean stinky bad father who is fully 1-dimensional! It fucking sucks! In no way is Spy a good dad, or even a good person. But he really isn't such a heartless asshole as people make him out to be.

ANYWAYS. Yap session over

HOTD Modern AU where everyones dragons are some kind of reptile or amphibian.  Sooo, I finally gathered the courage to add my own stuff to the HOTD fandom, lol. I love reptiles, specifically Komodo dragons, I’ve made like 3 different college projects with them and it was impossible for me to not see Vhagar as one, I’ve seen other really good takes with old grandma V being a snapping turtle, an alligator and so on, and then I decided to imagine my own modern AU were all the Targaryan dragons in HOTD are some kind of reptile pet! -Because Targ shenanigans they do have a special bond with their reptile friend (Thats the only way you get a croc and a Komodo to dont eat you, lol). -The dragon keepers are a special reptile breeder company, the Targs are like one of their most important clients . -To add more lore and stuff I like the idea of them living in a made up european country called Valyria, like Genovia from the princess diaries, or at least just a modern westeros and Valyria being their something something big company where they work. -If they live in Valyria they do have the monarchy problems, but without the murder plis, Aegon ll its like fuck you all and runs away to Italy or France and starts a wine company called “The usurper” xD.  -Because I like Jacegon, Jace goes along with him so he doesn’t die from bad decisions and because I think he’ll be more reliable with the new company stuff hahahahaha, Aegon just tests the wine ok 😂?  -Lucerys its also like, the crown? No thanks, and goes to college to study literature, also in the some college as Aemond, who’s in a History major, they’re roommates 👀. -Joffrey its even less interested in the crown and decides to help his grampa Corlys with Driftmark. -I’m mexican, I dont know how Dukedoms and all that fancy european stuff works, Driftmark can be one of those or something, I’ll do some research after the reptile drawings ok xD? -That way the crown can go to little Aegon the younger without anybody dying yay. -Rhaenyra its not that ok with this, but she loves her kids, and hopes little Egg doesn’t run away too.... Im just starting with my favorite incest deranged couple, Lucemond 😚. I think its obvious this is not completed at all 😅, but I was really exited about it and wanted to talk about it after being working on it all day 😄.

More stuff about the not dragons! -They can’t live the hundreds of years of the dragons, so lets make them live as long as their owner lives, an average 80-90 years, for this HC sake hahahaha, specially because turtles, komodos and crocs are able to live long lives too! So lets make all the other special Targ reptiles/amphibians live longer too 😝. -This makes Grandma V, Vhagar ll, because Vhagar l was Visenya’s, when Laena dies in some kind of accident Aemond claims Vhagar ll so she doesn’t die, specially because she wasn’t that old then, wiki says Laena dies at 27, I havent thought that much about what happens in the Driftmart incident, but something happens 👀! -Then the Viserys l Balerion it’s Balerion ll too! Vissy T gets to keep his croc and makes him an awesome enclosure, lol. Alicent never goes there 😂, but Viserys likes to see when the servants feed him or to just chat with his friend, he has this really nice enclosure like in the zoos where you can go like underground and see them swim.

-Helaena’s kids can have little geckos or something cute like that, I need to think about it 🤔.

-Im not very sure about Caraxes being a red Tegu, they’re awesome, but I don’t know if I should make him be something else, any thoughs anyone 🤔? If you have any other ideas that are different from the ones I have so far let me know 😉!! The only ones that Im very sure about are Vhagar and Arrax, I’m really in love with the idea, and I also like them all being something different, except for Silverwing and Vermithor uwu.

mini update yay-

so lets see, ill start off apologizing for being dead- exam season is around the corner and the only good thing about that will be that i will no longer have to teach or design papers- so i can probably draw a bit again, hopefully at least- so i WILL get back to the requests yall have sent me i promise uwu💕

tho bad news comes in the form of my school principles and viceprinciples bullying me because im a newbie, saying im not good at my job and putting their shortcomings as my fault because who wouldnt like to blame someone else for something they werent able to do- and i feel like the abuse im taking in this toxic environment is convincing me slowly to quit my job and start risking less stable jobs even if it means being my daddies little house girl again for a while. 🙄 at the very least even if im leaching off my parents i still actually HAVE somewhat decent parents and thats not something alot of people could say and im greatful for that.

the audacity was well shown when the principle went on the teachers meeting and was like "some of the teachers here who i will not name dont know how to do their job-" and then told me that i only got my job cuz my dad is rich [which yeah sure my daddy studied 4 years of uni and then credited me sure mmhmm makes sense.] and honestly i feel like im surrounded by 50 year old toddlers-

overall, learning to adult is difficult and im glad some people are helping me figure out how to put together a resume and apply for jobs and all that.... but i guess the next bad news comes in the form of us leaving for russia. i dont hate seeing other countries but having my life uprooted immediately after work ends and summer starts and selling off the car and putting stuff in boxes and yeeting ourselves via plane to live somewhere else for the next 4 years in pure isolation is not something my mental health is gonna be haha about. esp since im gonna have to talk to my therapist and doctor to give me enough meds for me to be able to search for another doctor while im there to give me similar treatment. ughhhhhhh.

overall i feel like i have reached a lovely level of ✨️no longer giving a shit about existance✨️ and thanks to some friends i was convinced juuuuust enough to reconsider ending myself :) in my defense, google was getting annoying for only bringing up hotlines =_=

my eyes cant see well anymore due to constant crying and emotional numbness has taken over me, so i apologize if i may seem out of it or a lil blunt at times when im talking lol i no longer have the energy to PRETEND and hold a mask to seem SOCIALLY appropriate and in this last month of school im gonna be making it everyone elses problem at school.

but other than that im looking forward for school ending so i could just sleep for a while without waking up BEFORE my alarms at 5am.

ok lets see what else uhh... my bday is on 19th and i pray to lord nobody makes a surprise party for me here, the anxiety of being in crowds is already kicking me in the ass im not ready to pretend to have a social battery ugh.

okay thats it mostly, i think.

i actually made this update MINI get it? :D

...ill show myself out...

[spacelazarwolf]

i just keep thinking abt how that guy said "its transphobia and misogyny. let your experiences unite you with cis women, trans women, and enbies, not separate you"

and like idk its like we can't use transmisndry/transandrophobia/atm/etc bc its transmisogynistic. but we also cant use transmisogyny bc thats only for trans fems and trans women. but we cant use misogyny either bc we're not women. like you said it doesnt matter what word(s) we use or even if we don't use any words at all, they still get mad at us.

but also, why does us trying to give a name to our experiences separate us from those groups? all of those groups can experience atm in various ways. why is it that using the term transmisogyny does not separate trans fems from those groups? why does using the term exorsexism does not separate enbies from that group? (assuming these people even agree exorsexism exists, some of them dont)

and the assumption that all of those identities listed are completely separate really bothers me. all of those can and do overlap. how can i as a transfemmasc multigender enby, separate myself from those groups by describing some of my experiences, when i AM those groups?

(im not going to even bother with the fact that cis men weren't included, we already know why)

imo it's because the idea that women (and people they can group in with women) forming separatist groups and separating themselves from MenTM is actually feminist and girlboss and just Protecting Them From Their Oppressors, whereas any other group doing it (not even just men as a group, but i see this shit happen to jews, black people, indigenous people, people with closed practices, etc.) is just trying to make themselves feel special or they think they're better than everyone else. also people just still straight up do not believe trans men are oppressed.

also it's particularly hilarious bc like. so much conversation around anti transmasculinity is about the fact we share a lot of experiences with both cis women and trans women. i can't tell you how many butch cis women, intersex people, and trans women and femmes have expressed to me that they have experienced something similar to what i describe in my posts. and the thing is, we have been talking about this kind of thing in queer circles for forever. we've talked about how butches are demonized because of their masculinity, we've talked about how trans women are forced to present as feminine as possible so as not to be seen as a threat, we've talked about how nonbinary people who were assigned male at birth and choose to present more masculine are demonized and stripped of their identity. but putting a name to it means there's a systemic problem in our community, not just Problematic Individuals Who Are Bad Who Are Totally Not Us So We Don't Need To Unpack Any Of Our Biases Uwu.

[xingchens-eyeballs]

istg ppl do not get shipping anymore ive seen like 5 videos in a row on tiktok saying that ppl can't ship anything outside of mizisua, ivantill, and hyuluka cuz it 'goes against their characters and the plot' or some shit, like no duh thats kinda the point?? its not like we're saying it should be canon but sometimes these alternate dynamics/AU's are fun to explore yknow? like cmon ur killing the spirit of fandom here dude, loosen up a little, let the silly in, or at least let me doomscroll in peace without seeing tons of ppl calling me a proshipping homophobic stain on society 😭 itd b different if it was an actual like pedophilic ship but this??? these ppl r just making up problems now

fandom has changed a lot from what it used to be i think now we're getting judged and policed about our way of interpreting and transforming the canon work like theres a reason fanon is called TRANSFORMATIVE yk it TRANSFORMS the canon like u can enjoy the canon without needing to stop everyone else from having fun u can choose not to consume transformative media that u don't like, ur giving MHA fandom but anyways

and for those who say like 'omg mizitill sucks cuz mizi is canon lesbian and ur destroying representation', its not like we're saying mizisua sucks and mizitill should replace it, its just that some people enjoy that dynamic like let us live man. its giving delusional, stop putting words in our mouths, the majority of ppl shipping alnst rarepairs r not trying to be homophobic we just have ✨imagination✨ and ✨whimsy✨

its also weird how ppl r so resistant to rarepairs that don't change the character's implied sexuality either like ive seen so many ivanluka haters like if u dont see the potential then GO AWAY u dont have to hate on every ivanluka video u see just smile and scroll goddamn theres bigger issues to white knight around about why don't u actually go fix homophobia in actively homophobic communities instead of fighting imaginary antis in a mainly lgbtq+ community. im not saying there arent ANY bad apples but if ur genuinely in this for some kind of moral/social problem reason there are more urgent and important issues for yall to be worrying about than random ass internet ppl who ship hyumizi instead of mizisua

anyways bye bye guys uwu stay safe out there don't get jumped <3

[arttrampbelle]

I feel nrs shits on raiden because ed has a problem with the character personally.

Why? I honestly have no fucking clue.

Raiden isn't that hard to understand so im not understanding the big deal.

We can have him go dark but not liu? Oh yes because he's the special one. I forgot. 🙄😒😑

Everyone else can get at least something that makes them feel believable,even likable and flawed.

Oh but heaven forbid liu kang fucks up.

See this is why hc liu is better. Non god liu kang is better.

But back to raiden.

Why is it. Why is it. Whenever raiden makes a reasonable mistake,that anyone can make.You guys take it so hard?

And villainize him.

But if liu makes a mistake its the end of the world but never do the same. Like all is forgiven and forgotten. Emphasis on the forgotten part. 🙄

If any other characters do reasonably fucked up shit. And have decent character flaws. You guys dont bat an eye.

But raidne does it. Suddenly you shit on him.

He cant win no matter what he does,how you write him. Im starting to think you guys hate raiden because you have unresolved daddy issues,authority issues,or you hate to admit that a godly powerful being cant wipe you ass all the time and you *sarcastic shock!* might actually have to solve the problems yourselves?! Wow what a concept.

Like srsly tho. Raiden isn't infallible. But he isn't a fucking chump loser can't get shit done.

He could get shit done but he has a code of honor,rules he has to follow by(that he hates),he has so much on his plate. And honestly you guys never appreciated his character.

Like out of pure spite. Im gonna do raiden self indulgent stuff today. Just to spite people.

Legit half the crap we got in 12. We could have gotten with raiden if you guys at nrs bothered to fucking write him properly. Instead of being lazy selfish pricks with a bias and favoritism towards other characters. *couch liu kang cough* (like i love liu but not written like that,never like that. God liu? Gross. Humble monk warrior liu? Yes)

Because liu kang playing "savior and creator of everything" is disturbing,disgusting,and disrespectful.

Like srsly they are legit telling THE SAME FUCKING STORY AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN. SAME AS 11. SAME SHIT. oh but because its uwu brand liu kang. And not the real liu kang. Suddenly its ok?! No!

Legit mk12....os the same fucking thing. Just liu kang brand.

It's no exciting. Its not new. You guys are lying to yourselves.

We could have had any fucking god charactera in mk do the same shit. And get the same result.

You guys could have had this with raiden. But noooooooo. You wanna shit on a character for shock value and no reason. Gtfoh.

You could have actually done something worth a damn but nope. You only care about gimmicks and whatever carries your attention spans for five secs for a quick fix of serotonin because you can't fucking get thru your heads you are being manipulated by a fucking company that lost passion years ago.

But that's besides the point.

So yeah. Raiden.

I'm so sorry they never gave you the love they should have.

Tobias should sue for your trauma. (Half joking here people. Tobias was the one who created and came up with the idea for raiden in the first place. And layed many foundations for this game but is half heartedly given credit while boon steals (no pun intended) his thunder)

Raiden i am so sorry for your mistreatment.

*hugs him*

Srsly if you call yourself a mortal kombat fan. And you genuinely hate raiden Do us all a favor and throw yourself in the dumpster fire. Plz. Also block tf outta me.

Look as a shang tsung tsimp. I love many many other characters too. But raiden is a comfort character,tho i self ship with him too he is comfort character. So i won't tolerate slander and disrespect.

Anyways. Raiden....my thunderdilf.....you deserve sm better.

I hope real raiden fans understand this. And make more PROPER kontent for you. Unlike nrs. We will treat you right.

[woomycritiques543]

Angel and Stolas is apparently the only abuse victims who deserves to be taken seriously. Everyone else gets thrown aside and viewed as slapstick or dark romance.

Like did Viv look at the Instagrams the crew made? Val treated Vox like trash over the most minor inconveniences. I like the art of these two despite not shipping them myself but wtf? Like Viv, either abuse is a serious subject or it is not, be consistent since it's giving mixed signals. It clearly isn't about being a good person either since Angel is a God awful person who has likely murdered countless people in his life yet he gets sympathized with due to Val sexually assaulting him.

This is the same problem with Stella and Stolas. Only Stella is seen as awful but all of Stolas's actions are seen as uwu owl shit. Stella slapping Stolas is bad, but not Stolas sexually harassing Blitzo? Or the fact that literally all the characters in Helluva are assassins who've murdered innocent people?

TW: MENTIONS OF ABUSE.

It is terrible. I thought it was just them-

-and I know that this might be harsh to say:

But the fact that the creators find that male abuse is "cute and funny!" in any other context than their shows makes the representation in the canon, Addict included, feel fake and hypocritical as fuck. They just wanted people to feel bad for specific fictional characters... they could care less :( (Also Smiles is a Valentino stan and has ship art of Vox and Valentino all over their Twitter, if anyone is wondering who this is. Same for how Raphielle, another staff member.... is a Valentino x Angel Dust shipper and Vivziepop has ship art of Valentino x Angel in one of the leaks.)

Especially with the merch on Sharkrobot, Helluva Boss, and all.

With that said- might as well post this thread I made on Twitter before it gets covered up by a bunch of stans dogpilling my posts:

(Another thing: At the end of Episode 2 S2, Stolas was sad and says "sorry!" but it's so goddamn vague that it might as well just be him saying "Im sorry that you're sad!" as sympathy rather than to apologize for what he did. He puts the full blame on Blitz as if he were babysitting her or some shit- When Via broke in- it was not Blitz's fault that Via broke in and broke the code Stolas made available to her, and he was the one who let her escape too! So really- The entire blame is on Stolas if you think about it for more than 2 seconds! Stolas was just using Via as an excuse to sexually exploit and abuse someone of lower status than him (Blitz)- again!)

Ok- the draft is done, im not going to be using Twitter to interact with this fandom anymore and at this point im thinking of doing the same for Tumblr by having it only for updates and main posts along with it:

Goodbye Twitter! :D

[missfingers]

ok i don't know much about yakuza but i gotta know for the choose violence ask game: 3, 8, 11, 16, 22, 24? (you can also do these about another fandom instead if you want, i just chose yakuza bc those are ur little guys)

HI AUSTIIINNN. forgive me this will get long

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

ohh my god theres been so many. but okay i will specifically pull up an example from the server i run. no screenshots cause the conversation was way too long but essentially yakuza has a massive misogyny problem with its female characters (of which there are. barely any). the conversation was specifically about the hostess mechanic, which is this minigame that appears in almost every game where you go to a hostess club and have a date there (a hostess club if ur unaware is basically softcore sex work its paying a woman to talk to you at a club). ofc nothing wrong with hostessing but people were specifically talking about how it was Kind Of Creepy that all the protags are like.... 40+ and all the hostesses / other female love interests are a lot younger.

and then this guy came in saying something along the lines of... if you criticise the way hostesses are objectified in yakuza then actually you hate women and sex workers and youre saying its not a real career .....? NO ONE WAS SAYING THAT. it was really one of those situations where the person was acting like these fictional female characters have their own agency to do sex work and flirt with older men ignoring completely the Old Men Writing The Series. they are not real people making their own decisions these are women written by men. it was bizarre. this guy also eventually said that if you criticise panty shots in anime youre racist or something because "japanese culture is like that" okay.

already answered 8 here! <3

just realised i completely got switched up on numbers and i already answered 11 and thought it was 10, so my answer for 11 is here but i will also answer 10 for @kasugas since i fucking. didnt.

10. worst part of fanon

majima woobification. and the worst part is its in the games now too like they straight up woobified him in kiwami and i cant STAND IITTTT. hes literally a yakuza boss he violently beats up his men he canonically married an 18 year old and hit her when she aborted their fetus hes not a good guy and i love when canon shows that. but then fanon is just like solely fucking majima everywhere characterisation of ooo hes just a silly little faggot who loves kiryu and kiryu hates him <333 (even though kiryu. does not. and finds his antics hilarious in every other game. and treats him as his closest friend.) and also the uncle majima stuff....... i like thinking about his relationship with haruka as much as the next guy but when people just. slap them together with no consideration to the fact he KIDNAPPED HER. AT 10 YEARS OLD. like dude shes going to be traumatised you cant just Ignore that for the sake of giving her two dads?

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

oh i fucking know. i KNOW why they like it and the answer is theyre uncreative yaoi loving freaks but so much nishitani content is just him acting like some borderline rapey daddydom and its soooooo Eugh. they make majima into this uwu baby who doesnt want any of his advances until the relationship is literally liek something out of a fucking yaoi where he "really wants it deep down but hes going to act like he doesnt so its going to feel so uncomfortable and hes going to get borderline assaulted". the entire appeal of nishimaji to me is that nishitani is literally so down horrifically bad for majima and majima actually likes him back even if he thinks hes weird as shit. theyre both insane for each other.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

ok im going to sound deranged here but his relationship with mirei. thats the 18 year old i mentioned. a lot of people choose to ignore he did that and like.... i get it its very uncomfortable to accept your favourite dude would prey on a kid like that but like. i feel like it does a disservice to his character to ignore that? it shows how he perpetuates the cycle of abuse and its so incredibly interesting to me but so many people just say "he wouldnt do that!!!!" when like.... yes he would. im sorry but he would.

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

fuckig hell idk theres so much horrible yakuza discourse. ig its relevant rn but like whenever anyone genuinely critiques how fandom acts (misogyny, racism, woobifying a genuinely morally reprehensible character, ableism, just anything) and then the people who do this shit get all up in arms about it and act like its pointless infighting when its... genuine shit that makes a community unsafe

[ssaltlicker]

I just dont get how aggretsukos original overarching theme was “it sucks being controlled by others” and somehow the end lesson was “actually being controlled by others is a good thing”.

It would have been so much more satisfying to get and end where retsuko gets to make her own decisions. To realize she has control over her life. But nah, her boss controlling her was bad, but the manager that held her hostage? Thats good actually. Random kidnapping? Cool. Manipulation? Awesome. Telling her what she thinks? Not letting her respond on her own, just telling her what she wants? Great! Its not like that was the whole fucking problem that the show introduced us to in the first episode!

If there had been a follow up. Of her being like oh shit. Im just repeating the same shitty patterns and falling for the same manipulation methods and its actively making me miserable. Her realizing that she needs to find another way of living. That her habits are hurting her and the people around her. That wouldve been better. But why do that when you can completely strip every other character of their own personalities and lives so they can worship the protagonist? Make retsuko an uwu do-no-wrong mary-sue! Who everyone elses lives revolves around. No one elses life means anything and she is perfect. No lessons learned, no theme, no anything. The show starts and ends the exact same way, with her being miserable and powerless because she has no control over her own life. Its just depressing

the purest tsundere. you probably walk around in real life with problems with emotions because you don't know how to express them. look at you,,, shdhdh "bad with some names and compliments" WITH ALL THE NAMES you're kidding!!! I don't remember a single time when you reacted not by ignoring or shyness, you're like "touch-me-not balsam"!!! /t /j me?... neverrrr~ maybe<3 look, you even cross out when you write "affectionate", you are a real tsundere<///3 /t /pos

🙄😒🫤 how shameless; you were caught by the fox's tail, but you continue to assure that this is only part of the fur coat, and after that you say something else about honesty🤨🤨🤨 I'll take the writebabies to closet /t /hj

hehehe, it's hot as hell here, but mostly dry, so it's very good; I sit at home all day and feel very efficient and resting😋😋😋 I recommend you try it sometime /t awwww, how cute;;; just start saying it with pride and people will think it's cool. have you read about thomas sawyer and how he painted the fence? here is about such a tactic~ <3 so so so clear, no feedback; I take the writebabies to myself and go look for someone for them🫤🫤🫤 /t /j look at you. surely you are afraid of very strong and vivid emotions. should have called you "ice cream cake" because as soon as the temperature rises and you start to melt and get lost shdhhdhd /t /j /affectionate awwwww I know, dear~ after all, there's not much else you can do in your situation~ hehehehehehe /t /j /nsrs

yes, yes, dear~ I will lock you in a dungeon for bad adults if you look at a small and innocent minor like me like that; UwU OwO <333333 /t !!! tell me about your favorite technique!!!... or your favorite techniques... or something like that♡ okay, well, this is a very useful skill... I'm bringing the writebabies back, you won this time<//33

/ I'll look for it later and tell you what I found. I really don't see the point in not believing you, but I have to make sure that someone says exactly what I said, because I know these fox tails🙄😒 /t /hj It's called a "scheme", dear<3 /t /nsrs

more thoughts!!

-- it strikes me as strange that all the powers of the sages are elemental and then theres .... time? since when is time and element akin to fire and such? i get that its a fun mechanic but it really falls out of order, espeically since there have been all of those sages before, tho i havent played OOT myself, shouldnt there be a sage of shadow instead of time? since we also got a sage of light? (i guess spirit also isnt an element in that sense but at least that one has been there before) or is that time thing supposed to be like .. since it was Ocarina of Time that link fills that eightth spot somehow and thats why time is a sage thing in tok? is that to be understood as it being about the eight statue of the gerudo? since the shadow one has been dismissed? i guess?? even then shadow is missing so the only thing to assume is that ganondorf is the sage of shadow, but none of it ever gets adressed additionally, i just found out that in english dragon-zelda is called light dragon and dragon-ganondorf is called demon dragon (which works fine but), they are called Weißdrache and Schwarzdrache in german (white- and black dragon) which imo (!!) plays even more into the sage stuff

--the fact that bascially everything that happened in botw is kinda .. ignored? drives me absolutely nuts, not just the sheikah stuff but also everythign about calamty ganon wouldnt it have been mention-worthy that clam gan presumably was just a puppet of ganondorf trying to break free or soemthing? wouldnt gan himslef say anthing about it? why is it all miasma suddendly and malice isnt even mentioned once?

--in general i cant help but feel more and more like totk is just trying to replace botw essentially, not a sequel, but a replacement, all sheikah tech is sonau tech now, the titans are the mystery stone, clam gan is demon gan now, zelda holding him back for 100 years is zelda being dragon for the master sword (but super duper long now), the sheikah stone abilities is raurus arm abilities etc. (and i dont want to sound like im bashing totk or anything, its such a fun game, but the weird dismissiveness of botw feels so weird ..)

-im now almost done with the underground and beneath where the shrine of life used to be (rip for unknown reasons) is a hot spring called secret spring of life and im .... idk it just feels like even another slap in the face

-zelda in botw had a really intersting thing going on character wise, with her being pressured so much she keeps making herself sick trying to adhere to her fathers orders, and really wouldnt it have been a better conclusion to her arc there that yeah she dont have the sealing powers everyone wants her to have but she isntead is so smart to work with sheikah tech she can make something that helps against clam gan; i guess her unlocking her powers, she had them after all whoo, its meant to read as uwu power of love or something but in that situation wouldnt it have been more like ... yeah she literally lost nigh everyone she cares about now and feels responsible for it all and link now dying too is as much pressure as you can put on someone, idk if my reading comprehension is just that bad but couldnt that be read as ... the problem of her not unlocking her powers was she wasnt pressured .. enough? (its probably been done like that bc its more tragic, but anyway, thats not quite my point-)

at the end of botw zelda even talks about one of the titans having stopped working, and her wanting to inspect that, which ngl, made it sound like she still cares about it even if its purpose is gone now (but in totk that doesnt matter anymore and also all of it is gone?) and wants to keep working with sheikah tech .. and now in totk its never even mentioned aside from symin and impa giving a super summed up version of the story of botw, literally the only guardian parts are on top of purahs ex-laboratory, given how everything else sheikah was wiped off the map it feels almost like an oversight

now my point is that all of it is completely dismissed in totk, suddendly its all abotu sonau sonau sonau, which somwhat makes sense as in zeldas interest in history, and well ... we wouldnt even know if she cares about sheikah tech still sicne she gets taken into the past so fast- it feels like such a disservice to her character, i really liked zelda with her intersting in science and history, but it all is overwritten by her being pressured yet again to sacrifice everything (and it being undone as if nothing happenend in the end anyway) .. and it kinda being both in botw and totk bc shes being ignored really, in botw its her father not listening to her and just punishing her more and more for not having sealing powers (prayers sure seemed to work well huh lets do more of that lol, and i know he gives up on it in his diary then but if he started doing it when she was 6 and now shes 17??? thats a lil late bro) and in totk its rauru going yeah no if we cant defeat gan well idk actually, im sure you are here for a purpose tho go figure it out yourself lol its not like i know gan better than you possibly could lmao in botw you got to at least see her ... more naturally? more of her character? idk how to put it but in totk it feels like shes even less there even tho it technically the opposite, and all the lil text things you can find cant do all the heavy lifting, oh she apparently rode around on some construct beast like its nothing thats never shown or mentioned again and i guess she actually spent more time in the past as a human than dragon but how would we know all we see is her being shoved around again having to do a big sacrifice in the end again (that turns out to be a non problem after all)

-in all the dragon tears we barely get to see anything of all those new characters, its basically always about gan but for it being so much about him we dont know shit about him actually (like yuno even says we dont know who he even is except that hes very strong and very evil, but that gets dismissed too) and it all makes it so hard to care

--what hapened to yuno inhereting daruks protection but it being gone in totk? does inheretited magical power disappear when the ghost of your granpa dies? (does the whole inhereting stuff even work with gororns they jsut come out of stone after all??)

--quite a few of access points to the underground are exactly where sheikah shrines used to be, them being gone would be interesting if it was gans access to the world, like him infecting the power pipeline of whatever ancient energy was (rip to that too i guess) and thus cracking open the earth itself but theres isnt anything of the shrines remaining in the udnerground anyway and most srhine are just GONE without even leaving a scarring on the earth except for less grass in its spot so its .. ??? how do we not even see any remaining stuff of the big pillars that housed the guardians? all sheikah tech stuff came from the ground so ... wouldnt that have been the perfect opportunity to have it be all in the underground? like mabye the ancient sheikah where there and built it all in the udnerground so it can go up to the surface when its needed

--miasma veins/roots spreading all over the udnerground and it concentrating where hes ... chilling in his lil cave .. does it imply hes bascially sucking the life out of the land to reinvigorate himself? why not have bigger parts of the land then die and whither around miasma? anyway its both cool and kidna disgusting watching those veins pumping ... something through them in a heartbeat kinda way (cool theme but not really worked with nay more than that?)

--im a lil surprised gan doesnt care about ANY of the tech, back in botw it was like THE thing he tried to work with (assuming clam gan was something to do with him which .... hopefully ? otherwise whats the point even) and the sonau having similar tech too woudlnt it imply he should do somethign with it? (and again whats with the mosnter underground endlelly mining sonanium ... but for whom???)

--(whats up with the sorcercers statues that are built like mechs and can talk through statues of hylia?????)

--(also WHAT are the dark fossils?? they are as big as the dragons and three in each region?? is it a reference im not getting??)

it makes little more sense if you view from a DLC kind of point of view, at least mechanically, like the sonau shrines wouldnt be needed in botw since you already got your way to retrieve hearts and stamina .. but thats really it then isnt it? idk making it a sequel but then dismissing or even ignoring/removing so much that was SO important to the first game is so strange

again i am not trying to make this game seem bad, even if it might sound like that, and its so fun and so well made in most parts but some things just dont add up at all and its confusing the hell out of me, theres so much groundwork, so much awesome stuff to work with but the story does ntohing with it or the most boring option possible and it just makes me sad zelda has been a franchise were it gets most interestign when you look at the details and interpret it yourself, but given how modern these games are now, and how innovative and darign they have been reinventing the zelda playstyle completely, turning it bassically upsaide down but then the story is still found lacking, and contrasted with the stellar gameplay, music, world and (most) design aspects (looking at you gerudo) it just feels that much worse

sorry for this long ass rant, i just need to get my thoughts out .. even if some dont make sense or are dumb in hindsight, so pls remember this is just a big ol ramble with not perfectely articulated ideas

so i sort of half accidentally did the end of totk on monday, i had over 130 hours and slightly over 50% of the game done and did the second to last fight with 3 hearts left and no way to heal but fairies after i gave up multiple times thinking the game might be trying to force me to fight a certain way xD

so im still playing it and am aiming for the 100% but i dont think theres gonna be much more to discover story wise the game is really fun and has a lot of detail and love put into it that you can really see, the music is fantastic as well, some of the characters get more love which is great but the story is … well disappointing but not surprising, especially in its treatment of ganondorf, who still feels incredibly flat as a character, which was to be expected but also … you cant fault people (including me) for faintly hoping theyd do something more interesting tho i will say the end fight is really well done and i cant think of a way to top that in terms of epicness xD

anyway, some unfiltered thoughts and opinions in no particular order (keep in mind i know its viddy game logic uwu but still some things can really destroy the immersion; and also i like to think too hard about the stuff i care about so take this with a grain of salt, i never expected the story to be world changing but i want to remind you that i am criticizing it bc i love this franchise)

--what the hell happened to all the sheikah tech?? botws story gets mentioned a few times but never is it mentioned what happened to all the tons of tech lying around everywhere? if they dismantled the towers for purah to build her new ones around i guess thats fine, but all the srhines? the titans ??? THE SHRINE OF LIFE??? its all gone, esepcially the shrine of life irks me bc the cave is still there and its still called by its bame but its nothing but a cave in a vague shape of how the buidling was it absolutely drives me crazy bc its so dumb?? even if it all stopped working for some reason why would you dismantled it all and even then where did the material go?? why would you dismanlted an neitre building like that anyway?? if you want to have a cave there just have it be half collapsed, if all sheikah tech has gotten useless just leave it there but overgrown?? and why is all of purahs tech still working then? zelda doesnt seem to care about it anymore either even tho shes been so obsessed with it for so long? the titans how would you even MOVE them?? you CANNOT tell me that all this tech that survived tens of thousands of years just went poof within a few years; and sometimes it even feels .. insulting? like you know how much robelo cared for cherry and now shes tiny and just serves as a way to buy fotos for your collection? the fact that the shrine of life is fully gone but the cave is vaguely shaped like its interior and where the bed used to be is a healing pool of water too? like idk if im just insane but it feels like 'haha lol remember what used to be here? get it? the water heals you like the bed in the shrine of life and lol there was the stairs HAHA remember? its gone now for no reason.lmao.' to be clear i like having some mysteries and all but that is just …. so weird? when i discovered the shrine of life i was so taken aback i didnt know what to do, it really broke my immersion, by alot even, it just makes it feel even more like all sheikah tech was replaced by much cooler (tm) sonau tech

--what happend to the sonau people? we only know that rauru and mineru are the last two remaining ones back then but … what made them die out like that? this is by far not as important to me as the issue with the sheikah tech but still feels like a point that could have been mentioned

--as much as i like the open world and how free you are to do things your own way but, regardign the dragon tears i think they should have been locked more behind story progression, i got all of them rather early on and it made it a lil frustrating to play through the other story parts bc you know the truth but you cant tell anyone and everyone around you is acting like a dumbass running after fake zelda while the real one is floating around above you, and i know thats partly my fault for getting them all so early but it still felt like some could have been more well hidden or locked or something since theres no hint to when it would fit to do which one; i expecpted impa to travel to each one but it seemed like she appeared on only a few here and there- additionally i fully expected her to be more important, that she would have an actual involment trying to help zelda undragonfy but that turned out to be very wrong lmao

--why are the enemies in the underground mining sonanium? ganondorf didnt seem itnerested at all in any of their tech, only in the mystery stones (only one too, he didnt seem to want any more of them either) they dont use it for anything? at least the ones on the surface collected stuff they could eat or use for fighting?

--did mineru really build herself a robot body just to fight ganondorf for a bit and then leave? as the last of the sonau, even tho long dead too, why wouldnt she tell their history and knowledge or something and instead if just helping a lil in the fight and then go poof (i half expected purah to be a surprise sage since the spirit one would have fit her i think)

--the zelda being the white dragon plot point lost alot of weight to me when it was just .. resolved like that in the end, i know she spent thousands of years like that and all but it seemed like a much heavier decision that later on felt a little less flat after fidning mineru even tho i felt like i didnt care at all at first bc of the way i found out ,and i half expected there to be an extra mission to try and find her soul again since that apparently gets lost when you do the whole dragon thing, but in the end that wasnt a problem at all, two ghosts and link (somehow naked again) blasting her with some magic(tm) and boom shes back and well and fine woohoo it was a non problem after all i didnt expect her to stay dragon since that would mean the end of the legend of zelda basically, but still it took away alot of the weight of her decision to me? like i get undragonfying her before the end would be difficult since you can get material off of her but still i hoped for something other than boom it resolved itself and i thoguht and worried about it for nothing honestly a post game or even another title where the main focus wouldnt be desstroying yet anyother one note evilest guy of them all and isntead the goal is to bring zeldas soul back and undragon her or something would have been a cool idea tbh tho i know its unrealistic

--did ganondorf think turning himself into a dragon would end the world somehow? did he mean the lil evil goo clouds he spit at you in the last fight to end the world? and how come that he was vunerable to fight? none of the other dragons could be hurt and for an 'immortal' dragon he sure went down fast also how did the stone get back on his forehead? you need to eat it to dragonfy yourself and zelda doesnt have her stone out either (i know viddy games logic but still) (on another note, gan shoving half his arm in his own mouth felt really cursed to watch)

--into WHAT exactly wanted gan to reshape the world into?? only destroying it is such a non reason if you want to rule it? theres nothing left to rule if you kill everything in it?? he just gonna play cards with some bokblins or what -i really wanted to fight ganondorf on the surface, not in his lil miasma incubation cave again :(

--so …. why he evil? are we really doing the and WHOOP suddendnly theres the eviliest guy of the world and he hates your guts for some reason thing again? no tension with the gerudo that seemed to follow him in the lil cutscene we see and the ones that went on raurus side? no actual origin? does he have ANYONE to talk to normally or did he just surround himself by monsters all the time or abadon everyone that once followed him once he got his power up?? you can make any design or fight as good as it can possibly be but in the end its still gonna feel hollow if the character has no character besides evil even the fake zelda wasnt actually him and just a lil puppet made of miasma so even him fucking with people is a little less interesting when he was actually just marinading in his lil goop cave, and the lil hand wink he gives you at phase two can only do so much lmao

--ganondorf is cool and all, but tbh he feels more like the evil miasma goop guy than anything else --why are the old sonau ruins in hyrule so different from the rest? like we know now that they arent actually a civilization from the sky alone but were even in the underground too, and all of their ruins have that blocky white style to it, the supposedly sonau ruins in phirone for example, albeit they share the dragon theme the style on the outside is very much different? and the ancient ruins from the other races dont match it either --are the sheikah descendants of the mixing of sonau and hylians? the white hair and third eye theme would fit to the only alive sonaus we see having white hair (fur?), the literal third eye and their affinity to techonology similar to the sheikah, and zelda having both light and time powers would make sense if its yet another descendant thing, but that would mean zelda was at least part sheikah .. (ngl white haired zelda might look pretty neat actually) but also … it didnt seem like sonia and rauru have been together all that long and no mention or even hint to them having children … which given that both of them die would be an important thing to mention no?

--why cant you do anything with the dongos but feed them????????? i wanna ride them :(

--where is kashiwa????????????????? they talk about him like hes a lost legend

--putting in all the amiibo stuff is cool and annoying at the same time, i spent 5 hours fighting my way throguh the underground to follow treasure maps and found 3 nigh identcal link hats from past games in a row, then two other parts of similar, then two aiimbo weapons and then jsut yesterday another one from a bigger quest that i expected more of; getting the armor sets of past games is cool if you want them but if i did i would have just gotten the amiibos back in botw, my inevntory already feels super bloated with all the new and old armor sets and now the amiibo stuff as well even tho i have like .. half of it all atm (and dont go and argue 'oh so complaining about more content for free???' yes. yes i am.)

--whats with this game and making link almost naked? rauru saving you from death? naked. (annoying) survival shrines? naked. weird teleport to alternate ghost dimension to blast zelda with magic power tm to solve all problems? naked.

--(added in edit) im glad dorephan didnt die!! i fully expected him to have died offscreen or something to make way for everyones favorite fish

--(added in edit) so are definitely other lands besides hyrule if yona came from there, also lol

--the story feels, espeically once you see the last cutscene, very …. uncomfortable to me if dare to think about it more than just taking everythign as its said to you, like … the oh so perfect descednants of the gods(what) marry a normal hylian lady and sourround themselves with perfetly obedient faceless servants of the other races so the perfect and good kingdom tm is born and oh suddendly theres an evil brown man (makign him grey doesnt change the implications, if anything, it makes it worse bc they wont even stand for it and instead are trying to hide it behind uuuuh no no its fine hes blue actally kinda way) from the desert that attacks the perfect good kingdom and king, then he swears alliance to them only to betray and murder da queen right away to get his hands on a super power the perfect and good king held and would have never never used it in a bad way nono and now they need to defend it by all means and at the end woohoo zelda has now again the perfect kingdom with no opposition except the yiga who are (as much as i love them) mostly played for laughs or .. well, evil(tm) as epic and cool the dragon fight was, zelda being the slim tiny white/gold/blue dragon and ganondorf being the evil spiky big black and red dragon and them literally being called white/black dragon feels like wow they arent even trying to hide the black and white storytelling huh (i know its a design trope to the bad be black(color) and the good anything else and spiky vs round and soft blah blah but that doesnt make it any better .. maybe even worse? idk)

the way nintendy was keeping stuff a secret and hinting around so much made me feel like it would finally be a little more nuanced and then it turned out to be even flatter than before and all that secrecy(?) was only to keep dragon zelda plotpoint a secret, something that was resolved no problem in the end anyway (i didnt need zelda to stay dragon but .. it all just lost so much weight the way it was done at the end)

-- (added in edit) master koga is the best character and no one can beat him, the most joy i felt was seeing him again and i am not joking, i wish i could talk to him normally tho without him being able to see through my yiga disguise :( im so glad he didnt die tho bc if he actually went to gan he would 100% be dead within seconds

--(added in edit2) i forgot to mention but was just reminded that link getting his arm back felt super weird too, so really everything that meant major changes got reversed basically ... coool ...back to status quo i guess, couldnt he if he wasnt missing it at least have it be discolored somehow? or scarred? any reminder? zelda too even, could she also have some sort of scar or similar due to her transformation ??

--(added in edit2) so where did the mystery stones even come from? gans and zeldas are gone after dragonfying i guess so ...what?

so in summary, im not eloquent enough to properly analyse all the problematic/questionable stuff and put it into the right words, but these are my random thoughts just spilled out, theres gonna be things i missed, forgot, or gonna think about later, maybe ill add it maybe not

again take it with a grain of salt, the game is still one of the most fun games i have ever played, my problems with it lie majorly in the story, its still very much worth playing!

[ravingraeven]

I know some people are tired of hearing people talk about the stupid fucking wiz/ard game (i am too) but I have some opinions I need to get out somewhere and my house isnt very safe so. Theres your warning if you wanna scroll passed this.

I have been seeing the nonstop talk, its even in my home from roommates while I (closeted) was trapped in the kitchen and panicking, and just. 

Its so funny watching people say stupid shit and try to defend it and try to defend themselves. The point that I’ve wanted to talk about most was the one I hear echo’d and misunderstood the most. The drop in the bucket argument.

What does it matter if someone does or doesnt buy the game- she’s already rich and its just a drop in the bucket? While a sound sentiment, to a degree, not only is it just wrong (does a faucet not turn off until you start turning the tap off)- thats not the biggest issue here. The biggest issue (in my eyes) isn’t the individual dollars from the game going directly to her (while it IS a problem, its not the biggest in my eyes) Its the message. Its the intensive. etc etc etc. You buy this stupid, terrible fucking game, forgoing your morals in what you deem is the right choice. So does everyone else. Just a drop in the bucket. Whatever! She’s rich! Except now other game companies and other merch companies and other corporations are seeing that its a GOOD IDEA, it sells.

Thats your drop in the bucket turning into an ocean turning into a flood thats killing your trans/jewish friends.

Game companies, ‘we only sold 25 million copies in the first month when we imagined selling 25 billion :( its an entire failure’ companies, would make a face at the idea of the ip if the world gave this game even the CDProjec/t/red/ Cyber/.pu/nk treatment of TRASHING it. Even if it was just trashing it for a year or a few months.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Shes already lowkey trying to backpedal and appease the looking-for-the-reason hopeful allies that are waiting for a single sign of ‘look she ISNT transphobic/antisemetic!’ people by releasing a fucking DOCUMENTARY about how “look im not actually transphobic!! uwu you people misunderstand me and are so mean!!!”

Imagine what she would do if this game bombed.
