“Mihoyo learn that deifying you’re character and making them capable of no wrong actually makes them less interesting, not deeper” challenge. “Mihoyo stop shooting yourself in the foot” challenge

Seriously though, the sudden shift to the “umm, actually, all the moths were perfect and our girls are following in their footsteps” narrative is… so weird. I can excuse Elysia saying it because her thinking everyone in her close friend group is perfect is very on brand for her, but everyone backing it up? I’m a flame chaser enjoyer, but they fucked things up for themselves. They lost because they were divided and constantly at each other’s throats and couldn’t get their shit together until it was too late, I sure hope the girls aren’t following in their footsteps.

I just don’t get why they wouldn’t just stick with the “the flame chasers laid an incredibly important foundation for the future, but ultimately the current era needs to follow a different path” narrative they had up until this point. I also don’t get why’d they try and make Mei the only one carrying on their legacy when up until now, their legacy has been carried on by pretty much everyone in the story. Other than Fu Hua just you know… actually being a surviving flame chaser (which I would argue automatically makes her connection to them more important than Mei’s), you got Durandal carrying on Su’s legacy and passing his research on to Otto, Seele meeting the AU/memory Sakura, Void Archives, mantises, literally any character who uses a Devine Key…

I’d get it if they were just having Mei be grateful to them or have her truly learn about and appreciate everything they did for the world and how their sacrifices are what gave the current era a fighting chance, but the straight up deification…

Idk man. Senti, Seele, and Bronya are my favorite characters now because they are the only ones who completely survived the shredder

very very personal, just insight into where im at w my family and things that bother me/have encouraged me to move out

"i know youre moving out so im just gonna say no ones kicking you out and if you feel like this is something you have to do then ok"

thanks! i know im not being kicked out! but yknow i kinda yet a weird vibe when your out of touch husband takes me to a cemetery to yell at me, tell me im just like my father/dont give my father "the time of day", and that im "mean to people who care about me" in front of his dead mother's grave in a poor attempt at guilting me out of speaking my mind. but no yeah thanks for stating the fucking obvious that im leaving on my own terms

I get sooooooooo fucking bored of flowery prose sometimes, like it has its place but I see so much online writing where it feels like every sentence is a calculated attempt at making it big in a webweaving post.

Just thinking about how every doctor I've seen recently is so absorbed in their fatphobia that they forget licherally decades of medical knowledge.

Like imagine being an endocrinologist, for 30 years, and a patient comes in having been recently diagnosed with insulin resistance and pcos. They experience no symptoms of high blood sugar but consistently report symptoms of hypoglycemia, even after adjusting their diet to significantly lower sugar/carb intake. In fact, they tend to experience this multiple times a week, around the same amount that a diabetic patient taking too much insulin may experience. Wouldn't you think, "Huh. Sounds like a case of reactive hypoglycemia. Maybe we should monitor this patient's blood sugar levels more closely to keep them safe and adjust their diet if needed. Maybe they could actually use a bit more carbs than others might.", ?

But then you see that the patient is fat so all that shit goes out the window. "Diet. Metformin. Lose weight. Enjoy your diagnosis of prediabetes, tubby."

i am getting so tired by all these "oh no poor boys and men" posts i am seeing on my dash - far more about men's issues and oh how much they suffer than i see about women nowadays and that's just sooo....

full fucking offense but women worldwide still earn less than their male co-workers do for the exact same job. in some places it's better than others but it's still a universal problem

women still have to work more to climb the career ladder and get a leader job than their male co-workers do. in some places it's better than others but it's still a universal problem

there are still, now in 2kfucking24, two countries left where women still can't vote

women and girls, especially immigrants, are the majority victims of sex trafficking!!! this is still happening!!!!! sex trafficking hasn't stopped!!!

every. single. woman i know - every single one!!! - has been sexually harassed by a man at least once! it even happened to me and i never thought it'd happen to bc i am someone considered rather unattractive - have even been said so, directly to my face, by men, which is a form of harassment in itself - and i have never heard of a woman who hasn't ever been sexually harassed even once. and hey, isn't it fucking nuts that this is something you just have to expect at a certain point as a woman? that this simply WILL happen one day that a man will come up to you and be a fucking creep or even worse???

women are still being told by men what they should and shouldn't wear. now, this year of 2kfucking24 the women's volleyball team was fucking finally allowed to cover their full body at the olympics instead of wearing their tiny bikinis!! and what happened on social media first things first was creeps talking about how disappointed they are now! because they couldn't leer at the ladies anymore!!

but you come on tumblr and people reblog posts about how oppressive it is for men that they can't show their feelings or they will be called weak and unmanly boohoo :( sure, that fucking sucks. i'm sorry you have such terrible friends, dude, and i really hope you find better ones - but that's not fucking misandry, you're not being oppressed for being a man, you're not being oppressed at all!!! this is people being mean to you, this is bullying at most! but misandry?! shut the fuck upppp

some time ago i saw a post abt how women should stop being afraid of going out in the dark and how it's fucked up to think of every man they meet at night outside to be a rapist. and i get that! i do somewhat agree with that! but a neighbor of my friend's had recently been followed in the evening on her way back home by a bunch of guys til her home, calling her a bitch and saying they'll kill her (she didn't even know them) and they even got into the house complex bc some idiot let them in. they only ran away once she called the police. back in my highschool days it not only happened once but twice that a girl from my school was followed home after her afternoon classes and was raped. recently, in my living area, two women were stalked at night and killed shortly before they managed to arrive home. and that's just what happened in my general area!!!! not to mention what happens in so many places all over the world!!!! and yeah, i don't think being afraid of going out at night now is going to do me any good, but i totally get why some women are afraid!!!! idk, maybe men should just stop creeping on women, rape them and/or kill them? so that women would not have to fear going out at night alone anymore? just a random thought but hey maybe i'm just hysterical :)

but no. let us talk abt "misandry" instead and how oppressed these poor guys are for *check's notes* women sometimes being unreasonable assholes to them

enough!!!

honestly miranda's a lot more insecure than she will ever let anyone else know about or even mentally recognize and realize in herself - its just also in such specific and bizarre ways that no one ever picks up on it

third hot take of the day is that yes "boycott fatigue" is. yikes. but we're not doing anyone any favors by pretending large boycotts don't take any effort whatsoever. like we talk abt "invisible labor" in the household when talking abt feminism, which is the cognitive load of knowing what has to get done even if the tasks are divided, and having to keep track of who is doing what (wrt childcare) and the preferences of your family when cooking/grocery shopping/etc. Other ppl have explained this better than me but the point is. It does take cognitive effort to keep track of what you can and can't buy, and which companies own what, etc etc.

We can acknowledge that yeah it does take effort and yeah it can be annoying that you have to make some kind of change, but also still maintain that complaining abt that right now is insanely tactless and irrelevant. Like yeah you DO have to remind yourself not to buy sabra hummus or the starbucks brand creamer or whatever but like there's a genocide yknow get some perspective

It would be one thing if it was just a popular headcanon but I’m so tired of fans acting like it’s actually official canon that Ryu is asexual which not only has Capcom has never stated that but there are numerous examples of Ryu fighting off his urdges because he’s trying to save his dick for Buddha
