#it's just frustrating

I hate it when there's someone in your orbit that you want to be friends with, but can't. They're moots with your moots. Their interests align with yours. You're pretty sure you'd get along great.

Except for their "Zionists DNI". Except for where they deny your people the right to exist, to defend ourselves when attacked, to live and thrive and continue our 4000 year old traditions. They're not Palestinian. They're not connected in any way to the Land of Israel. But it's become a fandom now, and everyone's taking sides. They don't even know you, but they don't want to talk to someone like you about unrelated topics, because you're one of (((them))).

i'm aware much of mcyt is a fairly interconnected small community but what gets me on this is that it just doesn't...really happen or make sense if you replace it with another community. i mean, not that i should expect the internet mob to understand nuance. but what if everyone suddenly decided that anyone who makes videos on the Sims was racist. or like idk if a commentary youtuber turns out to suck people don't assume that everyone who watches a different commentary youtuber also sucks 😭

This probably won't do much, but... if you guys ever see reblogs of my old GOmens art floating around out there, could you please not interact with them? I'm trying to move on from that fandom, and it triggers my anxiety something fierce whenever I see folks still liking or sharing them now. Obviously, I'd prefer if they weren't shared around at all anymore, and I've done all I can on my end to mitigate that (privating the original posts, turning off notifs, etc.), but... well, the site makes it so reblogs are virtually impossible to remove, so odds are slim on that front, y'know? Just, I dunno... ignore them when you see them? I think that's the best I can ask for at this point.

EDIT: I have learned you can set posts to be non-rebloggable, so I've done that for those ones. We'll see if it helps.

trying to have any form of convo about dutch's mental wellbeing is very annoying sometimes because you have camp "demonize NPD or other cluster B personality disorders" or there's the group "because dutch was clearly not in his right mind he cannot be held responsible for his actions"

dutch obviously has a mental decline and we can speculate about what caused that, or what disorders, conditions or mental illnesses he may or may not have. it can definitely humanize him and give his decisions nuance. but i wish people would be more careful they aren't attributing the idea that to have a cluster B personality disorder makes you an inherently bad or dangerous person.

dutch is a bad person because of the decisions he makes as an individual, separate of whatever condition he may or may not have. having NPD, BPD, or other conditions like bipolar disorder, etc. does not make someone inherently a bad person. please be careful about how you discuss these conditions in general, but im talking specifically about fandom spaces as we can contribute to harmful stigmas with our headcanons. its important to be careful in discussing conditions that are already so heavily stigmatized.

My upset at OMG Vampire for the 'we're boyfriends so it's not rape' line is seeping out into other places and now I'm just frustrated because there are so many shows doing so well out there and then we get these moments that just remind me of how far we have to go in understanding consent and acting on it in shows. And then I get reminded of another show making a no means no joke about boundaries because the entire plot of that show is about how bad having boundaries is and I get frustrated all over again. And then I find myself thinking about how Ohm got the police called on him for what he did to Taem and how no one even considered it for Ter and there's just this frustration that no matter how good the show is, there always a level of downplay in it when it's two men. Now, I don't think that Ter's actions and Dee's choices in that are equivalent to the others nor do I think that a show about boundaries being bad is as bad as 'having sex with you while sleeping is okay because I'm your BF' which is the worst of this nor do I need shows to teach moral lessons but it's just frustrating how the shows treat these things. If you're gonna do them, at least know what you're doing.

It is sometimes very frustrating to have a job that a bunch of people see as too scary and radical and don't want to think about and a bunch of other people see as insufficiently radical and evil collusion with the system.

I mean come on professor you had all week to grade it and evidently you're able to grade the last assignment in like. ten minutes. so what's the deal.

Tim watches ben Shapiro

Now hang on there Tim used to watch Ben shapiro we gotta recognise the little growth Tim has had as a character it reinforces good behaviour

I'm already tired of the "leafs fans don't want Matthews as captain narrative". Like who are you interviewing? The same boomer men demographic? The twitter bros? They will never be happy no matter what...

i hate when i come up with a great joke about performative activism but i can't use it bc there's such a risk of people misinterpreting it as being about the people actually impacted by the issue rather than the people who only "care about the issue" for self-centered reasons. it's easier when it's about queer topics and people are like "ok well you (the person saying the joke) are personally impacted so obviously it's just about performative activists" (tho even then i've had some people misinterpret some jokes) but it's a lot harder when i'm like. yeah i'm not personally impacted by this issue but also neither are some of the people dominating the conversation just to make themselves look more progressive than they really are

My deepest fear for Playboyy is that everyone is going to get a happy ending and I am going to regret watching this show because so many of them don't deserve the happy ending the show is writing them towards (or even the happiness the show has already given them) because fuck this if Boston ends up with the worst ending that Den has written I am going to be so pissed off you don't even understand.

How the fuck was Boston the best written promiscuous character when the other show is literally written about sex workers? Oh, wait, it's because the treatment of sex worker's sex is very, very different than chosen casual sex by the writers. Casual sex is fine if you're being paid for it and you need the money but if you're just doing it for enjoyment? Nope! Not allowed! Absolutely forbidden.

I went into this for messy gays with mixed endings so why the fuck is the couple that started with horrifying blackmail and where all the growth happened off-screen getting the sappiest, simplest ending of the whole bunch!? Why.

And why is the show suddenly deadset of villainizing Zouey and turning him into the worst person and having Teena staring at Captain? Why did First and Soong already just... forget about First's father who apparently doesn't matter any more? I appreciate that Keen got Captain kicked out but why make sure he also hurt Puen? Why did Zouey have to apologize for calling them monsters when First literally admitted to Soong he was being a monster and felt he had to make it up to Puen but Zouey still had to beg on his knees and not get forgiven?

sgjkgdf this show is like a punishment made specifically for me.

(Particularly how the show cannot seem to make the connection between kink and romance and, in fact, seems to have placed them in diametric opposition to each other and all the kink vanishes the instant romance enters the chat particularly for the subs in the relationships who are rarely there by choice and never seem to be able to say no without saying no to all of it and are often forced into places of being hurt by the Dom despite talk of safe words. The sub never chooses to be kinky, it is always forced on them by the Dom and they regularly express being 'tired' of being kinky or hating it and it is quickly removed from the relationship when they get serious.)

anyone else on here able to write really eloquently and get your thoughts down in an orderly manner but speaking is unreasonably hard???

like I can write to get a point across but if I have to speak with no preparation? IT'S OVER FOR ME!!! I'm always stuttering and fucking up my words and saying things in the wrong order
