I hate when people are like "I already didn't like xyz so it's not difficult for me to boycott it unlike those loser customers that actually Liked the thing which I could never understand bc I was never a customer uwu" bc like. That literally isn't boycotting lmao. That is just Never Being A Customer In The First Place, which means nothing actually.
Boycotts are primarily about applying pressure (or completely making it impossible to operate) via financial/commercial/economic impact. AKA it's about money and capital.
If you already weren't spending money on a product/franchise/company, then you were already never part of their sales data, and you just doing nothing & making absolutely no change to your daily life and just continuing to not be part of their sales data as normal, has literally no material impact. You were already never a factor. The people who WERE customers & WERE part of the sales data & ARE withdrawing their money from those sales figures actually ARE making a material impact.
"Supporting" something isn't about vibes or thoughts or feelings or you telling your best friend how much you like a thing, "support" in a meaningful sense is specifically material. It is financial. Refusing to continue supporting something means taking the money you were previously spending on it & putting it elsewhere. If you were never spending money, you were never supporting it, and therefore it doesn't make any difference if you continue to not support it. Boycotting is something CUSTOMERS and CONSUMERS do.
SO STOP FUCKING BRAGGING ABOUT IT & STOP MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE BOYCOTTING FOR "EVER LIKING XYZ TO BEGIN WITH" & STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE IDEA OF HOW BOYCOTTING WORKS LMAO sorry for capslocking I remembered I was annoyed
I just hate this low-morale mean-spirited bullshit some people do in the notifs on boycotting info posts where they arbitrarily moralize about something they just don't understand so they can pat themselves on the back for doing literally literally nothing AND inadvertently spreading misinfo in the process. Be quiet. Go do something that matters. There are plenty of posts going around, including from Palestinians themselves, with lists of references for how to help Palestine & other similar causes for people currently in crisis, please please do something For Real instead of boasting online about your fandom superiority complex as if it means anything.
#txt#It's annoying but more than that it shows that you have no desire to understand how meaningful action actually WORKS#You are not DOING anything you literally have no right to try to demean ANYONE who actually IS.#anyway just saw a comment on a post that annoyed me. I'm normal again sorries.#Like I'm a comics fan but I HATE the MCU so I was never going out and watching MCU movies anyway#I can't “boycott” CA4 bc I was never a customer to begin with. That's just me not watching another movie like it's a regular day.#But I CAN spread information about the boycott in hopes that people who might be actual consumers will see it & decide to boycott#& I can do that without insulting them bc if they're boycotting then they are engaging with more material action than I am on that issue.#But like it's not even really the insulting I care about so much as the “bragging about doing nothing (& spreading an incorrect idea of how#boycotting works in the process)” that actually bothers me most#BE WARNED THIS IS NOT A WELL-THOUGHT OUT INFORMATIONAL POST OR ANYTHING#so I may have worded things dumb/awkwardly bc I'm frustrated and I didn't like Plan Out this post#I made it on the fly in 5 minutes after getting annoyed about something I have seen enough times to be frustrated about it#coincidentally this whole post also doubles as me explaining why piracy isn't a real crime#it's a fake crime made up by people who care about Theoretical Money They Could Maybe Have but has no basis in material reality

Oh God No. Y-Young Midoriya. Please! J-Just back away from the wild animal and don't give in to his sweet, sweet, corrupting words of mental stimulation. Just come to your mentor, young Midoriya! Don't make eye contact with him, they start lecturing!!
It's like the curse of "May Your Children Be JUST LIKE YOOOOOOU" but somehow worse.
As though OfA took that curse, said "BET" and combined ALL OF THEM into one nightmare child for Yagi to parent. Young Midoriya, NO! He may love Dave like a brother, but HE NEARLY FUCKING DIED! And Dave had a GIRLFRIEND. Who WASN'T insane!
That child is twice as feral and has no minder!
Don't you DARE look at me with those "I Can Fix Him" eyes, young Midoriya! You have a problem and need to stop! Young Bakugo is complicated ENOUGH! Please stop collecting terrible nightmare chil-! And he's already gone. Took his notes too. Off to feed the feral beast, like THAT won't have him crawling in through Young Midoriya's windows and vents for the rest of his natural life.
FffffffffFUUU-[REDACTED IN AMERICAN!!!]
It? Would honestly? Be hilarious? If THIS is what derails Kamino Ward?
The museum IN Kamino Ward.
And since All Might didn't use up his last bit off power? Is sorta dying but held together by modern medicine? Him constantly being AROUND Danny? Is actually probably IMPROVING him health.
Because he's becoming fuckin Limnal. That sweet, sweet Ecto is like "yeah we can take over for these missing organs, no PROBLEM". And for the first time in over a decade? He's starting to first... NOT lose weight. Then? Gain? A little? Is... is that a vaguely healthy flush? Huh. He's breathing a bit... a LOT easier?
But his lung is still gone? How?
And! While HE is confused and trying to wrangle: his health, this nightmare engineering racoon space child, young Midoriya, that B-[REDACTED, All Might you are on RECORD!], and you know... TEACHING?
Midoriya is trying to "Pspspspsps" the Interesting New Friend™! AND keep him away from... HIM. All for One. Who is CLEARLY here for EVIL and Friend Corrupting EVIL purposes! Crime probably! PROBABLY WANTS TO DO SPACE CRIME! Conquer other planets! He's ON TO YOU, ALL FOR ONE! He's going to STOP YOU!
And?
AfO? Waaaasn't THAT invested? Until someone tried to STOP him. Specifically, the OfA idiots tried to stop him.
Well now he's GOTTA.
He could care less about Space and the sciences. Even the money to be made is tangential. The theoretical exploration and possible conquest of the stars? Mildly intriguing, but he's more of a homebody at the moment. But! He always HAS had a thing about people telling him "No". Expressly forbidding.
And really, he was already HERE to humor himself and the deranged crime child. See what he could make from that. He honestly doesn't CARE if Space is his passion project. We all have ours. The doctor's is the Nomu project. He himself collects things. We all have our hobbies.
But?
Then the Oaf's obnoxious little successor blunders in, while he's mid conversion. INTERRUPTING said Actually Interesting Conversation. And nearly destroys the museum AGAIN. Tsk, tsk! For SHAME~ Obnoxious Oaf Number 2! Have you no respect for history or the sciences? The future of mankind?
He unfortunately refuses to LEAVE. Even after the delightful Feral one tears him a new one for threatening his precious collection (perfectly understandable. He too, would murder everyone and everything, if someone dared damage his collection). No, he gets that ANNOYING bullheaded, stubborn glint in his putrid little beady eyes and declares he's going to "help too".
Excuse you? You will NOT.
The little RAT has the GAUL to grin at him, (bare his teeth like a FUCKING ANIMAL!) a practically CHIRP in an OBNOXIOUSLY fake little cutesy voice "why NOT? You're not UP to something, ARE you? We're all here for the pursuit of science and space exploration! Are you afraid you CANT KEEP UP, REPAIR GUY~☆?"
Murder.
He's going to kill this one. It's going to be SLOW. And he's going to ENJOY IT.
You want to fucking GO, you green little boot licker? He has more PHDs then you have years of LIFE. He could carry this program to completion with one hand, concussed, and barely TRYING. If he ACTUALLY puts in any effort? We'd all be sipping champagne in deep space by summers end!
Izuku just stances up, shoulders back, head up. Teeth bared in a "grin".
Fuckin PROVE it then!
Danny? Danny was getting his new team members refreshments and food. Comes back to them at each other's throats but NOT fighting, physically at least, in "his" museum. So..... yay! They're getting along! Proper ghostly communication and friendships all around! Who wants onigiri? I also got some tea.
It becomes the latest installment of the:
✨️AfO vs OfA - THROWNDOWN✨️
Now going on Season (cough, generation, cough) NINE!
Is Danny aware they are using his Space program to war their lil pissing match and try to one up each other? Yes. Will he STOP it? Ha! Fuck no! This is getting SO MUCH done! He sees nothing, knows nothing. Fenton himbo genetics, activate! Fufufufufu~
Okay but? We of the DPxDC? Are COMPLETELY Sleeping on DPXBNHA?
And not even for the Main Plot Shenanigans!
Just?? It has ALL of DC's super powers? But MORE OF THEM. And like 80% of the population has um! Danny can?? Finally achieve his DREAM of being???
JUST SOME DUDE™!
Yeah, he's in Japan. That's a bit of a learning curve. And YEAH, there was a cataclysmic war like a few centuries back that sorta... fucked everybody up. No one wants to talk about it. There may be mass graves and Never Forget memorials. But?
On the SURFACE!
This place seems utopian!
No ghost hunters! Advanced technology! Robust social services*!
Wait... what was that asterisk? What do you mean "corrupt shadowy government organizations"? What do you MEAN "Immortal Supervillians"? NO SPACE PROGRAM!?!? AaaaaAAAAAAAAAAH?!?!? I'M IN HELL!!! This is ACTUALLY THE BAD PLACE, THIS IS HELL, OH GOD NOOOOOOO-!!!!!!
Cause see?
There are SO MANY REASONS he'd end up there?
Think about it! Wish that he lived somewhere his weird biology wouldn't exclude him from becoming an astronaut? In Quirks having Bnha Japan EVERYBODY has weird biology! Y'ain't special! You could TOTALLY be an astronaut!..... if we HAD those! We do not. Shut down that program during the Quirk Wars and never really started it again. (And somewhere, Desiree LAUGHS)
Or MAYBE? Things are getting a little hot on the ground? Bit TOO spicy. The Family Fenton and Friends have fallen back, behind the barely holding shields. Not even the Mansons considerable political maneuvering could stop the inevitably of human fear and blind unthinking hatred. Money can't buy everything, in the end. There is only ONE(1) way out.
Through the Zone.
Plan: Strangers In A Strange World is a go.
They're all Limnal enough to fake it. Sam with her plants. Tucker with his technology and persuasion. Jazz with her limited empathy. Their parents with their... well, weirdness. And with a touch of ghostly assisted meddling? Well, they've always BEEN there! Haven't they?
And that's not to MENTION the random 4 year olds with no control! JUST coming into their powers! With all those big emotions in tiny bodies? Startling events and tantrums? Villian attacks? What could THEY possibly hope to do to control or guide that fresh new power? It does what it does and the rest of us are just along for the ride!
If Danny happens to be minding his business and gets accidentally kidnapped by a VERY distraught 4 year old? Well, that's hardly the KIDS fault, now is it? They're FOUR! That is basically a toddler! Tiny child! They are upset, confused, and didn't mean to do ANYTHING. He's a hero. And Heros don't blame little kids from accidents, no matter HOW stressed it makes them.
No, the curse like a sailor INSIDE their head. Like an ADULT.
Just? Imagine~☆
The slow transition from *starry eyed shoujo sparkles* "This is SO COOL~!" to "huh, that's... kinda weird. And Sus. Weird Sus. Maybe nothing... oh! A distraction!" To "okay, this KEEPS happening, that was shady. You all saw that right? You realize that's not NORMAL, right? That that's fucked up? Not cool?" To "oh god, oh God, OH GOD! I'm in HELL! This is actually HELL! I'm trapped in HELL!!! WHAT THE FUC-"
Like? This kid LOVES space. LOVES the stars. And this is one of the few Superhero Cannon that SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS that IN CANNON? Thanks to Quirks? As in Superpowers? That VERY THING got fuckin SCRAPPED. Gutted. Consigned to be a relic of the past so they could all focus on punching each other Real Good.
He would weep BLOOD. Chew the WALLS. The LEVEL of unhinged this child would unleash? Not as Danny Phantom... but as DANNY J. FENTON? Beautiful. Vaguely psychotic. Definitely doing the Fenton Name proud. God, the NOISE HE WOULD MAKE would be inhuman and yet somehow? Come entirely from his human half.
They👏 Would👏 Hear👏 BOSS👏 MUSIC👏
I don't even know if he'd CARE about the main characters. They'd be tangential at best. The man would be in a one man war with I-Island over their lack of space program and hoarding of scientific progress. Probably living out of an abandoned building or forgotten subway station. Just? The MOST bedraggled, feral genius to ever haunt Japan.
As opposed to the REFINED feral genius. Who is Nedzu.
I bet Danny stands outside his school at one AM waving his scientific papers at a camera and YELLS. Like a deranged lunatic. Mismatched slippers and a "haven't slept in a week" crazed glint in his eyes.
He's Nedzu's new best friend. They GET each other.
And, yes, Nedzu COULD let him in... but it's faster to just let him yell and read the papers through the camera. Who CARES if they both seem insane! Let's shout about advanced physics and engineering at 1 am! Over the speakers!!! Oh? You need to physically SHOW me the notes? Well I COULD unlock the gates... OR just wait for you to finish scrambling up the walls like a feral Racoon, to then throw yourself OVER them.
Either, Or.
I'm just SAYING! We are SLEEPING on this! There is so, SO much fun to be had! Danny breaks rules and minds! His outrage over injustice and the complete lack of SPACE! His protection instincts going BUCK FUCKIN WILD. The INDESCRIBABLE hate boner he would have for Mr. "Lemme just rip parts of your soul out so I can collect your powers like pokemon cards" AfO.
There? Is SO MUCH, guys. SO MUCH!
