#like what the ACTUAL FUCK is wrong with y'all

"not trying to ruin the ship for anyone" except you are. You're telling people the right and wrong way to enjoy it. You aren't actually slick or subtle. What you did was you went to a place where you KNEW people would be looking for content of this ship. A tag meant for people who enjoy the ship to try and "explain" the ship and how bad it is like you're talking to a bunch of toddlers.

Unless it's a ship between family, kid and adult, or a fucking animal human, you should mind your business. Express your opinion if you want, but I don't come into a room of people talking about how they like dolphins specifically so I can tell them how awful dolphins actually are.

Hell, even if it is that, going onto the ship's tag just to try and "explain" how bad the ship is literally the least productive thing you could be doing with your time.

it's frankly embarrassing for y'all to claim to not care...

Hey Hatchetfield moots can we just collectively realize and accept the fact that Michie is lowkey a very toxic relationship because canonically Max has been bullying Pete since fourth grade which would mean he probably started bullying the other nerds around then which means Max has been bullying Richie and the nerds for almost a decade so even if Max has a redemption arc and does canonically have trauma I don't think there is any way this ship could be positive or healthy Richie would have to have some Stockholm syndrome type shit to even fall in love with Max in the first place not trying to ruin the ship for anyone but I feel like we need to realize this as a fandom please and thank you 💞💕

After episode 5, I'm going to have to take back every single good thing I said about the Like Water for Chocolate series adaptation because OH MY GOD. How do you fuck up an adaptation with such a rich source material SO BADLY. How do you make the lead female characters become almost supporting characters in their own story by adding a bunch of unnecessary, male-centric revolutionary bullshit, to the point that sometimes it seems like the show is about Revolutionary War Hero Pedro Múzquiz and the two women vying for his affections. How do you turn a beautiful, female-centric cornerstone of Latin American literature into a glorified telenovela (and not one of the good ones). How can you claim to be based on BOTH "Like Water for Chocolate" and "Tita's Diary" when it's clear that NO ONE in the writing staff has read either of them beyond the Wikipedia summaries. HOW DARE YOUUUUUUUUUUU.

Madoka is the promise you won't turn from a child, full of hopes and dreams and the wish to save the world, into a bitter adult who just wants to hurt others and ruin people's lives

Madoka promised to be there for you to remind you of the person you wanted to be and to stop you from becoming what you sought to destroy

Madoka made that promise and became the very embodiment of it

"And if I say Caitlyn defenders--"

Hmm? What was that? I can't hear you over my coffee machine.

It's not even nine fucking am yet, I don't care get blocked. If that reaction pigeon holes me into some anti-radical position in your mind, I don't care about that either. How much y'all want to bet that the same circle of "radical, anti-classist" pseudo-intellectuals who come by to lecture us all like we're all in high school are the same dipshits who didn't vote in the election? (If they were even old enough.)

I'd bet real fucking money.

Imagine a world where these keyboard warriors committed the same amount of aggression and effort they level against the silly people and fictional characters in their phones as they did towards IRL elections and politicians. And I'm talking ACTUALLY going out and voting, fundraising, or door knocking for candidates and parties they actually agree with, not just raging against liberalism every four years on social media.

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

If there's one thing I've respectively noticed from Zionists and defenders of Israeli war crimes, it's that every source, argument and potential avenue to explore each explanation is riddled with cherry picking, moving the goalposts and mental gymnastics to explain why their conclusions, which typically are barely even related to the sources they use, somehow overshadow literal reality and what we see with our own eyes.

While scrolling, one example I came across was the repetitive misrepresentation of BLM, antifa and quotes from Martin Luther King Jr, as well as statistics, scholarly journal articles and government website information. These are all good sources, yet every single time they're mangled completely until the only possible "interpretation" of any of them is "well Israel is right to defend itself after shorting rockets beforehand because the retaliation was brutal and all Arabs are bad by default therefore". As if any of these sources are even about individual exceptions of Israel versus hatred towards Arabs.

I think what I find most absurd, as someone in the middle of their own studies, is how every bit of critical thinking and logic goes out the window as they do every single thing possible to do what professors worldwide say NOT to do when evaluating sources. It's like watching a race to see who can tangle and misconstrue scientific information to fit their world view the fastest. Then said people say "um actually I studied at university before so it's actually not wrong that I'm doing this exact this everyone is warned not to do because I have a permit". Ignorance I can forgive, but willful and arrogant manipulation? That's another thing entirely.

being in the DS9 fandom, you'll discover there are so many ways for people to be wrong about julian bashir

Getting told The Untamed is the best version of mdzs fills me with the exact same emotion 10 y/o me got whenever someone said they loved the Percy Jackson movies (I'll be fair to Untamed fans though- it sounds like a good series, it just doesn't sound like mdzs)

I think the fact that 100% of the "toxicity" from gale and mystra's relationship prior to what we see in the game is completely fabricated by fanon should say a lot about the misogyny gale stans so easily fall into. But y'all aren't ready for that convo obviously

ppl who only conditionally care about child abuse based on whether the victim makes them uncomfy while they're being abused contribute to a real life child's abuse by sending hate asks regularly, attempting to gaslight them, calling them terrible names, accusing them of terrible things, telling them directly how much they hate the characters the child relates to and enjoys talking about, and being generally racist and ableist in a way that seriously might have scarred me for life, making a literal teenager hate their hobbies, favorite shows, and the people who enjoy those things, and ultimately cyberbullying a child out of multiple fandoms because they don't want to think critically or acknowledge their own faults, all while being 35 and really embarrassing themselves because someone half their age has a better grasp on the concept of nuance than them: more at 6

but noooo, y'all "love neurodivergent/disabled people," have "racists/ableists DNI" in your bios, and don't say slurs, which is all you have to do to not be racist/ableist, so *I'm* some psycho black bitch and you're a wittle angel like the fictional character you infantilize

(P.S. I swear to fucking god if people respond to this post with "but he sexually assaulted someone" and ignore literally every other personality trait/experience he had that could've been relatable to a child abuse survivor and the way people mistreated me, a real human being, which Charlie is not by the way, I will start doing the things you wanted to do to Ben)
