#is this even a real complaint

[the-woman-upstairs]

In the universe of the film, there is ABSOLUTELY a contingent of fans that fervently ship Argylle/Wyatt and have the dominant ship on AO3 and trade elaborate fan theories about their hidden relationship and are convinced they’re meant to be endgame but the publishers won’t allow it. Of course, they go totally BALLISTIC when they learn they’re based on the author and her boyfriend.

ut fangames as of late have had a lot of heart to them and they deserve all the praise they get but idk something makes me really defensive when people start saying "it's even Better than the game it's based on" like undertale get behind me

so I'm learning that outside of the usual deluge of violent racism at having to see black skin onscreen, one of the major complaints about the acolyte is that it yet again doesn't portray the jedi as pure unabashed heroes who never did anything wrong. which is an issue I've seen in the tags on this site for other star wars things before and it is such an absolutely freakish hill to die on. why is the jedi's purity as an institution so important to you. are you vicariously defending a real life institution you believe to be pure and unproblematic? 🤨 why do you think what happens to the jedi is only tragic if they embody some ideal of heroism that doesn't exist? why do you demand that they fill a two dimensional role of goodness that isn't necessary in stories that go beyond the binary of empire vs. rebels? why are you allergic to exploring the flaws that exist in every religious organization fictitious or otherwise? why does this world need to be a cartoon in order for it to make sense to you?

I think the most baffling thing about the Tulpar as a vessel to me is the fact that the ship really did only have a one way communication system.

I know it was cheap but even the most basic of vessels regarding major transport would have some way, shape or form for outside communication. Not only that but there was absolutely no form of innate emergency signal to show they may have been offline or in trouble despite clearly having a system to dock credits if they went off course. It's another factor that really shows that bad situations are made to get worse by design. One person who is required to relay all information to the crew and make all the choices without feedback. No way to update or call for help in case of a dire situation. No way to inform of inner personal conflicts and acquire procedures accordingly.

It really is like they are all in some sort of fucked up solitary confinement. They have their own world with strict roles that are meaningless in the end, as long as the cargo makes it, it doesn't matter what happens on that ship to the company. They don't want to hear anything and will come to conclusions on what happened based on how much pay they can withhold from the workers. Even what they do send is short, sterile and corporate to the extent it was likely written and sent out with a command by some random unmanned computer in an office.

There's something to be said about how unfair it is to force absolute power and control onto one person when you as an entity could do so much more to offload it but I've said it many times before so I won't again.

read the green bone saga this week and i’m just saying. if you want an in-depth political fantasy mafia thriller (yes all of those words apply) set in a post colonial nation that is navigating an unsure global political position and the potential exploitation of its culturally significant resource that simultaneously explores the bonds between family and how they can take different shapes in the wake of loss and love and life, with brilliantly developed, fleshed out characters and realistic pacing (both in world and in the actual delivery of the story). i HIGHLY recommend.

given that the story of Robin Hood is like... very very famously set in Nottingham(shire) it would be cool to see one single solitary adaptation that gives literally any of the characters in the story a Notts or at least midlands-sounding accent. I know there's a longstanding gag about Robin Hoods with american accents so this is like, very much nitpicking, but Prince of Thieves appears to have a Little John with a fucking COCKNEY accent for gods sake. wtf is going on.

is the game mechanic bad, or are you just refusing to meet the game on its level and engage with the problems it gives you

(this is about weapon/item durability)

oh you don't like having to constantly find/make new weapons? cry me a river. the game doesn't want you to rely on any one item too much so learn to treat them as disposable and you'll have more fun. no i don't care if you "wish you could get attached" to all the cool weapons you find, you're not *meant* to. meet the game where it is at, please.

this complaint is so stupid to me it's like if people complained about first person shooters having ammo counts because they were used to vertical shooters or whatever

''oh you have to stop shooting every so often because you're out of ammo and need to reload? that's stupid i just want to shoot all the time" yeah idiot, learning to play around not being able to shoot constantly forever, and having gaps where you're vulnerable, is a system the game intends for you to play around to create interesting situations where you have to think about how to use the tools you're given.

crazy how that works huh, crazy how we all understand that.

honestly i love that precure is super simple and doesn't have a solid plot and maybe even has massive plot holes like who gaf im here to watch cute girls fight monsters and be silly

bought frickin Meta Verified just so I can talk to a real human about getting my 13-year old instagram account back

i needdd fengqing fics that actually deal with their complex psychosexual issues about each other stemming from their own self-hatred and regret and fundamentally opposing perceptions of the world and not just petty toothless squabbles with no larger context. folks pls remember that fengqing are about seeing urself in the other yet being so exhaustingly different and bringing out the worst versions of each other yet also needing the other to define ur very being. cmon yall throw in some actual flavor to the supposedly spicy explosive tgcf ship here

[reunioninn]

very fun and cool of geoff to allow a fake game based on ai and crypto to be featured at an awards show that celebrates real human creativity and dedication. absolutely not he most vile thing someone could possibly do.

[stardustdiiving]

They’re going to confirm my idea of Arlecchino cycles of abuse story and I am going to go absolutely bonkers

[getosugurusbangs]

what if i said i actually love too weird to live, too rare to die and think it’s underrated. what then.

how it feels being a fan of a character dc dgaf abt 😔😔

[krotiation]

sorry im about to vent off topic :i s2g if they hint on handsome jack in the movie and it is NOT dameon clarke im gonna lose my marbles. I feel like when they look at the success of the characters as well the VAs do so much heavy lifting to giving life to these characters. why they didnt just use the VA for Claptrap from B3 is beyond me why did it need to be someone else so it doesnt even sound right - they def went for name recongition over matching the characters - kevin hart is so tiny hes such a small dude and roland is large and also if roland is alive wouldnt thta imply that jack's also alive. like handsome jack is so successful because of dameon. he gave so many off the cuff lines. and if they wnated to make a movie why would they not choose the tales gang if thats the one that gave them so much credit? sorry i have so many feelings and i, also so SICK of seeing tiny tina bein g used for literally every borderlands merch thing recently

I'm fine with actors putting their own spin on characters they play and seeing how their writing can be interpreted differently but with handsome jack it becomes really tricky cause like... dameon clarke MADE jack who he is. Like a lot of people credit him for how good of a character he is so whoever WOULD play jack would have a whole lot of expectations to match. We already hate the casting (which is 100% just to get attention instead of accurately portraying the characters) so imagine how much more we would hate it if they messed jack up

Overall the whole movie just adds to what I said about gbox being out of touch with the fandom. We got randy already claiming he wants to make a sequel when the whole fanbase has voiced concern and disinterest about the movie just based on the trailers and they're just really trying to force lilith and tina to be fan favorites when they're... not? Like I love them, especially lilith like that's my homegirl right there, but the fandom as a whole would disagree that they're even well-liked characters

fanon alicole is very sanitized compared to what it is in canon yes but i also think everyone is way too mean to the shippers considering their version of alicole was canon until like ep 9. there's literally no indication alicent feared him and didn't genuinely see him as a good friend prior to that point. and it is difficult to adjust that view given that nobody in that writers room cares about criston cole being a coherent character
