#it's literally them and I'm not taking criticism

[darklinaforever]

What... ?

Or maybe it's just you who doesn't understand the word grooming and all that it implies ? 😑

And you're also trying to simplify my point and intentionally distort it ?

I literally cited Palpatine as an example of grooming, who is a man.

Also... Orlok is hot for you ? The fucking joke ! We're talking about a living, rotting body full of maggots.

Thomas is hot on the other hand, and yet I clearly criticize him in tons of posts. And he is not the only (hot) male character I take down on my tumblr by the way (even if they are endgame by the way) ?

Also you want hot men who are groomers that I recognize as such ?

Ezra and Wren on Pretty Little Liars for beginning ?

My post (or others mirroring it) literally talks about the fact that all the women I mentioned are at one point defended when they are clearly the aggressors in this context but that the men who are their victims are demonized because they are not pure heroes and are in fact morally ambiguous.

I am also talking about the tendency to want to permanently victimize female characters for something they are not to amplify the problems they already suffer.

Because obviously it is impossible for women in fiction to be attracted to these morally reprehensible men themselves unless they have been groomed.

I don't know if you realize how much of a misogynistic take this is ?

Imagine that women must constantly be manipulated in an extreme way to want a bad man or for doing bad things ?

I'm literally criticizing the fact that for many women can only be victims (even when they are not, specifically in the sense understood by these people, so grooming for Alina, Ellen and Rin), not aggressors (when they clearly are, as with Lucille and Laurel), and men only aggressors even when they are canonically the victims (like Tyler, Kylo and Thomas).

Why are you trying to turn the situation around without any real arguments ? All you're trying to do is deflect the topic.

Not to mention trying to reduce me to a worshipper of male beauty specifically ?

I'm bi.

If I defended men solely for their beauty, I would do it with women as well, especially Lucille and Laurel who are played by absolutely magnificent actresses.

Oh and using the word grooming like you know what you're talking about I guess you also think that makes you smart (not to mention all the other bullshit you just told me and that I mentioned) ?

It's pathetic honestly.

I've made tons of posts (and reblogged a lot of them as well) that explain in detail why Sesshomaru, Daemon, and Orlok aren't actually groomers. So I don't have to explain anything on the subject here.

I'd invite you to go read them, but something tells me that seeing their length (since such a subject is important and complex, it makes sense to pay special attention to it, even more so when the three characters concerned come from completely different times than ours, therefore inevitably involving talking about the historical context), something tells me that you'll probably ironically say that "it's too long and that you don't have time to read nonsense of grooming supporters !" 🤪

Because all you care about is appearing superficially morally intelligent and superior. Not really knowing and understanding what you're talking about and how to talk about it.

Either way you're clearly a troll, I don't even understand why I bother.

Goodbye.

I need to remind you of this again.

Rin was not groomed and pedophiled by Sesshomaru.

Alina Starkov was not groomed and pedophiled by the Darkling.

Rhaenyra Targaryen was not groomed and pedophiled by Daemon Targaryen (show or book).

Ellen Hutter was not groomed and pedophiled by Orlok.

But in other hand...

Tyler Galpin was groomed by Laurel Gates.

Kylo Ren was groomed by Snoke / Palpatine.

Thomas Sharpe was groomed by his older sister Lucille Sharpe.

It's funny that this trend has always used the word grooming specifically for female characters who are not victims of it in order to demonize the male characters involved (at all, or more than the story already does) for reasons probably linked to the delirium of purity culture.

On the other hand, notice that when a morally gray male character is the victim of grooming in the story, it is rather denial in order to continue to demonize the male character to make him the complete aggressor of the heroine who happens to be the romantic interest of the morally ambiguous guy.

So again this notion of victimizing the female character in order to make her the victim of the man when generally, the man and the woman in this second type of story are in fact both victims of a superior antagonist.

But this narrative truth does not interest the type of people we are talking about. No, the only thing that interests them is only to make the woman the willing victim of the man in a morally ambiguous romance that they cannot support.

Alright, back at it again, and this time I want to dive into something that really has bothered me for a long time, let me elaborate that it is NOT ok to harass or say horrible things to and about the voice actors, we are all human beings, we can deliver feedback and criticism in a civilized manner, so before anyone takes this the wrong way, no, I'm not promoting harassment towards the VAs, what I'm hoping to do is get more people to speak up and voice their opinions.

This has been going on for quite some time now, but I've noticed that the VAs really don't like people talking about the negatives of TSBS, Davis and Reed both have mocked fans for sharing their opinions on livestreams on the Sun and Moon Show channel, not to mention the moderators of the Discord server making online posts basically telling people to keep their opinions to themselves.

If you cannot handle people giving valid criticisms of your product, then you just shouldn't have a job on the internet. Plain and simple, making fun of fans and mocking them is extremely fucking unprofessional, and that kind of behavior should be reprimanded, but does it? No. Because Blackshore cares more about money grabbing and pleasing an audience of children than they do about being a functional company.

So as a result, the voice actors are allowed to say whatever they want, hurt whoever they want, and dismiss feedback that is genuinely provided by people who have the show's best interest at heart, I have friends who have been fans of the show since its inception in 2022, but the combination of lack of direction with certain storylines and their favorite characters being butchered, they all left the fandom one by one, and it's all because people who want to see the product improve are being made fun of, mocked, or just ignored.

Let's take characters into consideration, Eclipse, he is the biggest victim of slander and hatred in this fandom, even after it was confirmed by lunar himself, the stories of him being strangled and hit more than once by Eclipse were all bullshit. Eclipse is a victim of abuse, emotional, mental, and yes, even physical, and yet he's painted by the fandom, and Davis himself as an irredeemable monster, who despite his best efforts, will never be able to get clean from his past, but, Moon, because he's a main character, gets to walk around free of guilt despite the literal hell he put Sun through? Can someone explain this to me? Cause something's not making sense here.

The second biggest victim, in my opinion, is Nexus, I only recently started digging deeper into his story, and only recently started realizing how fucking tragic it all is, he was born into a world already filled with drama and chaos, forced into filling the shoes of an absolutely horrible person, constantly being compared to him, then he lost someone he cared about dearly, and was losing his mind, he needed help, but did he get that help? No! Of course not! He was ostracized and disowned, even the one ally that he THOUGHT he had, abandoned him and left him to die once he outlived his usefulness, but, you see, it can't possibly be that people who liked him really related to his story and grew attached, no, they're all simps, every single one if them. According to who? The voice actors themselves.

Please, people, don't let people involved with TSBS telling you to shut up keep you quiet, we need more fair criticisms, or else these shows will continue on a downward spiral, and no one wants that. No one.

you're not the only one with a bad feeling

the sentence "i never thought mcr would go past the black parade" has been stuck in my head lately- this would be a convenient way to make that true.

but also... it's frustrating that their lore seems so mad about the world yet it's still *just* Lore. they'll never be in as financially risky situation as most of their fans live with day to day and it feels out of touch to a degree for these expensive shows to keep happening, especially advertising decades old media. is this really our best option for getting IRL community going?

i know i'll be appreciating this era when I'm even older, but looking at this rich band with my broke yet worldly aware young adult eyes... it almost hurts?

maybe this matches what you're feeling, maybe it doesn't and your frustrations are entirely different, or you still don't feel like you have a way to describe it, and that's totally okay- but i'm typing this to say you are definitely not alone in this feeling.

something IS off, and I hope we can start talking about it without other fans taking it as a personal slight, or misconstruing criticism for hate

YES!!! this isn't exactly what i meant when i said it felt off but this is something i've been thinking about since they released the remaster of three cheers tbh (the $90 revenge hoodie i almost bought comes to mind). WHY is everything so expensive? i know they can't control some things like ticket prices as those are set by ticketmaster (i think?) but i mean... they could try and make literally anything else affordable. like... some of the merch they're selling this tour is very mediocre and looks super uninspired, in my opinion, and it's easily DIY-able. why would i spend $50 for something that looks like that?

it really does feel out of touch, esp now with everything happening in the U.S. to me it kind of feels like they're capitalizing off of the whole thing with the government, and the way frank repressed XØ recently made me feel that way too. it felt a bit like he was capitalizing off the political state of the U.S. to sell old music. whether you like it or not these guys are... kind of part of the rich people problem and it pisses me off a little.

(little side note: my friend bought TWO THINGS from frank's merch store in relation to leathermouth, and it cost like 114 NZD which is like 160 USD. for... two things. his merch is so ridiculously expensive. i've bought stuff from other bands for way less so i just don't get it 😭)

i'm not an adult, but i know enough about my own family's financial situation to understand that it's just not possible for me to be able to support my chem outside of buying maybe one piece of merch from their store, rather than going to a show and being able to enjoy a band i like AND financially support them. not that they really need my money. it makes me so sad because i used to dream of mcr getting back together and being able to go to a show in like 2017. now that are back i can't go because it's too fucking expensive.

also: if any of the band members have said ANYTHING in relation to the gov/the war in ukraine/palestine and you could direct me to it that would be great cuz i'm losing hope that i'll see them directly mention it w/out prodding at all.

sending off bell's hells with one more laudmoore

[paradoxcase]

If you actually wanted to have a discussion about this, you wouldn't have blocked me in the first place. I'm really not sure what enjoyment you derive out of this practice of blocking me, and then getting butthurt about a response I posted to a completely different person who wasn't you, and then unblocking me to harass me about it, but whatever.

there is no "always." you made that shit up. next.

I literally posted your response to me, where you asserted that was the only reason that someone would say that, unless "they had trauma, in which case it's more complicated". That's literally what you said.

ok. i've seen antis who are not sex-repulsed asexuals complain about sex scenes in movies, to the point where they have said things along the lines of "movies shouldn't have sex scenes at all, they just make everything awkward!" this is more prevalent among gen z, perhaps the online spaces you frequent have less of these younger gen z antis.

It's true, I don't associate with a lot (or any, really) gen Z antis, but if you were intending to criticize antis, you could have specified that you were talking about antis. There are a lot of reasons why you might not like sex scenes, and antis are a pretty niche online subculture, so that's a pretty rare reason to think that.

no one has to prove they are traumatized. they, like everyone else, just have to say "oh, sorry, i don't really like sex scenes in movies, can we watch something else?" instead of "ew, how could you watch that? that shit is barely even art!" do you understand the difference?

Yeah, but that's not what you said in your post. In your post, you said you were complaining about people who thought that a sex scene ruined a movie, not about people saying "ew, how could you watch that? that shit is barely even art!" Like I said to other people who responded to me, I'm responding to what you actually said. Not to a different thing that you didn't say.

#people are allowed to dislike things for many reasons

If you wanted to communicate that, you could have put it in the body of your post. If you respond to me with a full post, I'm going to read the goddamn post and respond to what you said there. And what you said there was "the only reason you could possibly be uncomfortable with sex is if you are sex-negative or traumatized."

if you take a brief look in the comments of the original post, you will see several asexuals discussing how enjoying erotic media (and the self discovery that came along with that) helped them feel more comfortable and confident in their ace identity.

Different people are different, different asexuals are different. Just because some asexuals aren't sex-repulsed, doesn't mean no asexuals are sex-repulsed. You talk about "tokenization" - you are using these "good" asexuals to as an excuse to pretend that those of us you don't like just don't exist at all.

and yes, some asexuals are sex-repulsed. but asexual does not equal sex repulsed, which does not equal sex negative.

You said you believe that, but this is an empty sentiment when you continue to post things about how being insufficiently gung-ho about sex makes you an evil fascist, actually.

i have not seen this. hmm. does that mean it doesn't exist? no. it means i haven't seen it. i'm sorry you're seeing this sort of anti-ace rhetoric, but i, as an individual, am telling you plain as day that my original post was not fucking about sex-repulsed asexuals.

Then why did you block me when I asked if being sex-repulsed is a good enough reason to dislike sex? You could literally have just said "yes, that's a good enough reason to dislike sex, sorry if I made it seem like it wasn't, but that's not what I was intending to complain about here". Instead, you blocked me, which I take to mean that you don't want to talk to sex-repulsed asexuals because you think we are all sex-negative fascists.

and here is how i feel about your tokenization of aces on a post that is specifically discussing how conservative rhetoric needs to be unlearned by us as a society: link.

I am tokenizing myself? Lmao, that's a new one. Also, your post there is wrong. Sex-repulsion isn't based on negative experiences, it's just how people are. You don't have to have a negative experience with something to know you won't like it.

Hey, I can't respond to you on the actual post because the OP decided to block me instead of having some kind of reasonable discussion about their claims that sex-negativity is the only possible reason anyone could have for not liking a piece of sexual content.

I've seen the weird "porn addiction" people, too, and if OP had actually mentioned those people at any point in their post, I would have agreed with that (and I do also agree with pretty much everything else they said other than "stop insisting that sex scenes or erotic material ruin movies and shows just because you, personally, get icked out watching it.") But they didn't mention that at all, and their post seems to be about something completely different. I don't think I generally see the porn addiction people talking about regular mainstream media that just has a sex scene in it.

Context

Didn't mean to ignore you or anything, I just fell asleep between my last reply and when you sent your ask.

The thing is, this isn't a claim the OP is making. The whole post, start to finish, is about the mentality that porn is opposite to art, and sex is opposite to intellectual value. That's the context, the post in which this paragraph exists. You're imposing a whole separate meaning onto that paragraph.

And I even tried to broaden that context further to explain the social attitude it is responding to. No, OP didn't specifically respond to the "porn addiction" people. OP responded to a mentality that comes from the same root, which I brought up in response to you saying that you don't see it happening. I wasn't saying "this is what OP is talking about," I was saying "the thing OP is talking about exists and here are examples of more attitudes I see because of that." Because if you didn't see the conversations it's directly responding to, I thought you might recognize the cultural shift if I gave you more examples of it.

Fascism has a whole concept of sex being degrading to art and to the consumers of said art. This is on the rise, and if you don't see it I'm happy for you because it's exhausting. But that doesn't mean it isn't real.

And in my opinion, bringing up asexual and sex-repulsed people into a conversation about puritanism in media and fascist "degenerate art" attitudes -- which, this is what that conversation is, this is the whole entire point of it -- is unfair both to the conversation, and to asexuals. Acephobes love to act like ace people are trying to shut down their expressions of sexuality, and that's a common ace-exclus talking point I was seeing all the time when acephobia was louder on here.

All I'm saying is that if the narrative is gonna bend over backwards to justify every shitty action Bruce Wayne does (up to and including literal fucking child abuse) cause he watched his parents die at age 8, it's my duty as a contrarian faggot to do the same for Jason

[james-stark-the-writer]

just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and it is a game written by cowards for cowards.

the final twist genuinely ruins the game. it's so stupid as a narrative decision. i hate it so much. it almost makes me understand what the people yelling about The Last Jedi being too subservient to its themes were yelling about (OBVIOUSLY not the ones that were being bigoted and loud and wrong about it, but just the ones who had actual issues with its narrative directions/execution). genuinely, the twist takes what could have been an extremely solid 8.5, maybe a 9/10 game down to a 4/10 game with nothing of interest to say deluding itself into thinking it's saying anything of worth by thoughtlessly repeating patterns as if that's supposed to generate meaning without any real effort of actually committing to that meaning, or seeing the world as anything beyond its basic binary worldview of Good and Bad.

putting that twist in fundamentally cuts the legs out from any actual, interesting and substantive critique it could have leveled at the legal system and our feelings about people on trial and their perceived guilt or innocence, and it just ends up reinforcing it as a power of good that Will Ultimately Prevail In The Search For Truth, as if that is even remotely a thing any legal system is concerned with, especially the one in the game that mostly just stumbles into The Right Choices because it's a game controlled by the player. it's frankly ideologically incoherent to the point of saying nothing because its critique is unfocused and toothless. best it can muster is "maybe some people are corrupt and lying, but if You take Advantage of The System, you can beat them" as if malicious compliance is supposed to change the system. fuck off.

ran out of tags but. i'm serious about this lol, i really hate it as a narrative and ideological choice. the game threatens to say something bold and interesting and then just pulls the rug out from underneath you. it sucks. it's very much like 12 Angry Men in that way, i think, except at least that movie Knows what it's saying and that its basic premise is its ideological downfall, this just doesn't really feel like it says anything much interesting or coherent, ultimately, because the criticism either drowns in the length and comedic nature of it, or just ultimately isn't focused and pointed and nuanced enough to actually say something meaningful. like ik someone's gonna do a "kid's game" thing but hello, kid's shit has always been nuanced and just bc it's "for kids" doesn't mean it has to abide by some binary ass morality that flattens all its interesting critique, especially when you're constantly led, structurally, to the more interesting and nuanced narrative choice only to have a twist completely ruin it and making it all feel like a waste of your time. plenty of things are nuanced and interesting and "for kids" without deflating their themes and messages by writing a stupid twist that undercuts the interesting parts of its arguments.

[comradecowplant]

I don’t think anyone would invite you to a “drug filled sex party” either considering how snobby, pompous, and self absorbed you are. I’d rather hang out with the “cringe baby show watchers” then a boring asshole who wants to talk about nothing but an ideal thats nearly impossible to legitimately fully practice currently. Not defending capitalism of course, but with YOUR attitude nobody would want to bother reading the literature you desperately want to share with others.

Anti intellectualism is only fueled further by an equally shitty attitude from the other side.

I went out of my way in the tags to make it clear that the recreational choices themselves aren't the focus of blame, it's the snotty, entitled, self-absorbed (lol calling ME that for my "U.S. LGBTQ people don't care enough about things that really matter" opinion is pure projection), escapist, consumption-focused imperial core mindset PRECISELY like this that I take issue with. The reason socialist change is "nearly impossible to legitimately fully practice" is precisely because most people in the shithole country I (& presumably you) live in are too disorganized, cowardly, and especially ignorant-- myself included!-- to get shit started. But sure, it's MY bad attitude that fuels anti-intellectualism & counterrevolution 🙄

[perilegs]

do even half the bg3 players think about, or at the bare minimum, read/listen to anything said in the game. ever.

[cassianandfenrysaremyboyos]

I'm sorry but this just pisses me off (Not Hunt obviously, but Bryce)

Bryce rant incoming which you can just ignore and I'll probably delete later

But Bryce just puts all the blame on the Asteri. And yes ultimately they are to blame in the larger sense of things. But Bryce plays a direct role in leading them down the path that results in Hunt, Ruhn and Baxian being caught. It was her need to find out Danika's secrets with no thought to the consequences, her idea to go to the Eternal City. And she takes NO personal responsibility for it at all!

Hunt is blaming himself for everything that's happened. Even when it's not his fault at all. When we're in his pov he's constantly drowning in guilt, thinking about how he should of done more, he should of tried harder, he should of been better, how it's all his fault this happened and that his friends suffered.

And then Bryce does none of that. When we're in her pov she doesn't really show any major guilt. I can't think of any times when she blames herself like Hunt does. And I'm not saying she should be wracked with guilt. But a normal person, a good person, will usually feel bad and will feel guilty and blame themselves to some degree when something bad happens and people they care about are hurt, regardless of how big or small they're involvement is, or even if they're not at fault at all, case in point Hunt being wracked with guilt even when it's not his fault.

And to make it worse she acknowledges that Hunt warned them, warned her. But that she disregarded it and would of done it no matter what.

And then she has the audicity to say she doesn't regret it. And she thought they were on the same page. ON THE SAME PAGE!!?? Hunt made it clear in hosab that he didn't want to go down this road again, that he didn't want to get involved. YOU just didn't listen Bryce. And yeah Hunt's an adult, he can make his own decisions and he could of said no and not gone. But of course, OF COURSE!! he wasn't going to let Bryce go down that road alone, because he loves her, and doesn't want anything to happen to her, and wants to protect, so of course he would never desert her. But that doesn't mean he wanted to do it!

For Bryce to be that unaware of Hunt's feelings, when he explicitly stated them. For her to be that disconnected from her mate's feelings that she's surprised that he wasn't really on board is kinda unfathomable to me. Just that complete lack of awareness really does make her look quite selfish/self centered.

Anyway sorry, this post is a mess but I just had to vent

And then when Hunt mentions the consequences he and his friends faced, Bryce makes it about her pain. She's hurt that Hunt mentioned that they suffered. And the worst part is, Hunt then regret's it, he regrets saying something that hurts Bryce, because he cares about her and feelings. And she does not consider his feelings to the same degree

It just pisses me off

[snowstories]

BOTW's story is kinda weak because it sucks at information distribution, but I think it did a great job incorporating the gameplay into the narrative. Breath of the Wild is an open world game, meaning the onus is naturally on exploration and freedom. By contrasting this main gameplay loop with the memory flashbacks and given information of the past, it manages very naturally create a narrative of past vs present and restriction vs freedom.

Almost everything we see of the past in BOTW creates this stifling feeling of repression. It is a past filled with restriction, where everyone is given a very narrow role to play and punished when they do not play it well enough. Everyone is always prim and proper, anchored by tradition and the 'right' way to do this.

By contrast, in the present, if you want to spend a whole day trying to make your way through Hebra in your underwear, you can just do that. Sure, you can also just beeline for the Divine Beasts and then the castle, but few people (speedrunners not withstanding) will do that, and moreover, people aren't supposed to do that. Breath of the Wild wants you to spend your time fucking around rather than completing your divinely ordained world-saving quest.

This creates a contrast between past and present, where Link and Zelda are pushed into restrictive roles by precisely this destiny. Link is still mostly a vehicle of projection for the player, but is nevertheless established as a character in his own right in the game, and what limited notes of characterization we get indicates that he was absolutely miserable in the past. In memory cutscenes he's stoic and unemotive (probably part deliberate characterization, part effort to preserve his status as a blank slate), and Zelda's diary establishes him as not talking because he's afraid of saying the wrong thing. Whichever way you read his character, he's clearly very repressed.

And in the present he's spending a whole day seeing if he can get a picture of a bug, or eating dubious food, or chasing ducks or whatever. Because that's what you're doing. And since you're probably having a great time, you're gonna project that on the character designed to be projected upon. While I do still think past!Link could have done with a little more emoting, the game overall does a good job utilizing Link's status as a player insert to create/add to the story and its themes.

BOTW's chosen story is one set in the past, mostly about Zelda and her failure to fit into the role she's given. It's a story of restriction and repression. It is a deliberate contrast between the freedom the gameplay gives you. With this, it does a great job incorporating the gameplay into the story; rather than a game where every second you spend screwing around and exploring feels at odds with the urgency of your quest, the fact that Link, the repressed and miserable knight of the past, is screwing around freely feels like character development. Now having the freedom to screw around rather than single-mindedly pursue destiny is the point of the story.

In addition, it adds to the game's overarching theme of past vs present. In the flashbacks, we see an overreliance on Sheikah tech and ancient plans, hailed blindly as a savior when we know exactly this will be everyone's doom. Breath of the Wild never posits that we should ignore or scorn the past; on the contrary, it encourages exploration of it, both in the past with Zelda's character via her fascination with Sheikah tech, and in the present, with encouragement to uncover Link's past and the gameplay's incorporation of Sheikah tech. However, it cautions against worshipping it. The past is something to uncover and honor, but not a thing to live in; ultimately, you must forge your own path in the present. This is reinforced through the freedom of the gameplay and the aforementioned contrast it creates between the past and present. Following the past brought doom upon Hyrule a hundred years ago; doing so again would surely repeat this. You are encouraged to ignore the blueprint of the past and forge your own path. Even and especially if it involves riding your horse everywhere but the plot points.

By the very nature of the game's design, you are creating a story where Link wakes up in a wild future filled with endless possibilities and obtains a freedom that was inherently restricted in the past, letting go of the past and celebrating the future.

It's not groundbreaking or revolutionary or anything, but I think it's a very solid example of incorporating gameplay into the narrative.

Fucking tired of being nice rn if you're subtly rude to me I am clapping back I'm done

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

About a month ago my new coworker told me he didn't like LoK (that's fine). When I asked why he said it reminded him too much of The Last of Us 2. And I was like ??????? HuH???? So I asked him to elaborate, and due to time constraints (and maybe him just....refusing to really elaborate????) the most I could get out of him was "Korra/Ellie choosing not to kill Kuvira/Abby at the end" and that was "bad."

AND THAT'S IT! Nothing else, no expansion. So I have to tell y'all, my ass hasn't been ok since. It's keeping me up at night. I'm trying to figure out what he means. Cause the math ain't mathing lemme tell you. I think it's all bullshit TT0TT Like this man had a vision, but god does he need some fucking glasses.

I haven't been this inside my own head since I was debating with air about P5. TT0TT
