#it rubs me the wrong way

Why can’t some of you be normal when it comes to criticizing Johnny and Robby’s relationship without having to say weird shit like calling Miguel “replacement son” or referring Robby as his “real son” as if Miguel isn’t his son too? 🤨

people on this site will acknowledge that the US economic state is horrible atm but won't apply that information when talking about 'doomed Gen Alpha and their horrible parents.' like... we're at a point where most families have both parents working, sometimes several jobs, and coming home exhausted. That's not starting on how expensive childcare is and how the pandemic did (and still is!!) impacting very young children's social skills. I'm sure there are parents who just stick their kids in front of iPads instead of dealing with their behavior, but I feel like a lot of people just fail to look at the bigger picture of this whole 'iPad kid' phenomenon.

If I was a parent rn, with a small kid, and was exhausted working 2 jobs in a time where Covid is reaching a new high, yeah, I'd probably give my kid an iPad or something. No it wouldn't be ideal, but that's the reality for a lot of parents rn. I work with some of them at my job, I hear them facetime their kids. These aren't negligent parents who don't care about their children. These are tired parents who are struggling to provide for their kids in a late capitalist society that prizes profits over people.

Not me a thirty year old man having strong opinions about FNAF but seeing mangle/toy foxy/Funtime foxy depicted as female always bothered me. He's still male. He's just got a different skin on, and it's clown themed.

That guy on tiktok that makes the videos about characters and what they say abt you of you like them kinda rubs me the wrong way.

I stopped watching bc he made a series on characters who can say F@g and it just felt so weird a cis white guy (he is gay) went on about what characters can say a slur for like 15 videos, especially bc he'd say characters could but werent gay but in a positive way which isnt something we should be promoting.

I think i just dont like that bc it's a cis white guy, someone who is very rarely going to get called any slurs.

people are kinda weird about people they dont like

I hate the common opinion that he doesn't care about anyone just because he sees them as characters. He's a hypocrite and can be mean about the way he understands the world around him, but he is not cruel or mean just because he doesn't think everyone around him is the same as him. (A part of me wonders even if sometimes he wishes he was also just a character because then he wouldn't be so alone at times). He thinks that every story should get the chance to happen as they were meant to, regardless of how cruel they are because that's how fiction is. Every work of art deserves to exist even if you don't like it. He is not approaching them like they are valueless, simply that they have a reason for their existence and should ultimately proceed in that way. He is not uncaring and impassive to the events that take place. This is seen especially in the art and comics that depict their reaction to Top's canonical death and the love and affection he has for his family. He likes people and he has friends (error for example). His inability to perceive the world around him in a manner identical to those around him is not indicative of inherent cruelty and frankly it's ableist to demonize him to the extents I've seen some people do just because of the idea that being soulless and thinking of the people around him as characters on a script means he doesn't think of them as something of value. Some people even depict him as someone who thinks some people are replaceable when everything should point to the opposite. He protects them and supports creators. All of them. He is not perfect, but to reduce all his imperfections as a side effect of his soulless nature and then further making him cruel as a character with only that as the reasoning just comes off as a shallow understanding of his character. He cares and he cares a lot! He just doesn't perceive things the same way. Any flaws he has are not a result of his lack of soul. In fact canonically his paints are basically identical to real feelings and he's quite happy with them. It's like taking medicine to me. Without them he stops moving altogether. I just think we can do better to write him and depict him as a character. Even when he is flawed you should celebrate the complexity of his character rather than find a way to reason out that he's only doing it because he doesn't have a soul. He has a complex way of seeing the multiverse, one that's very hypocritical because he is the same as those around him, and closer to how an actual creator and writer should perceive their work, and his experiences and unique circumstances should provide us with enough material to play around with his traits, good and bad.

TLDR: You can make him a dickhead yeah but why does it keep boiling down to "he's a dickhead because he's soulless and doesn't actually care about anything as a result"

Anyways, i want you guys to give me your unpopular opinion about Ink (it's for science)

i'm always a bit unsettled by disdain for intellectual or creative labor in leftist spaces. there's this commonly held belief that academics are a bunch of rich old white men, rather than a wide variety of people who are barely getting by. most lecturers in universities are adjuncts living paycheck to paycheck. authors make very little money as a general rule. most researchers are overworked and underpaid. and yet there's still this idea that academics are overcompensated to sit around and smoke cigars together while making shit up
