small rant about separating characters from their actors

watching recordings of old panels and seeing the way the crowds acted, and the way they failed to seperate Misha from Cass and Jensen from Dean, makes me very uncomfortable. The Spn fandom is probably one of the worst when it comes to this. Even now, years after these panels happened, I still get such visceral second hand embarrassment. Like we all know teenage girls are at the top of the pyramid when it comes to having obsessive crushes on actors, but the way some of these fans acted about Jensen, Jared and Misha, and the way they bulled and harassed the wives/girlfriends of the actors (and some still do) is insane to me.

on top of that, the way the fandom worships the actors? You don’t know Jensen Ackles. You don’t know Misha Collins. You don’t know Jared Padalecki. The fandom sees them and assumes they’re like their characters. These are actors. They lie for a living. They could be horrible people in real life, but you look at them and you see Sam, Dean and Cass, so obviously they can “do no wrong”. I’m not saying they’ve done anything wrong, but if it came out that Jensen was pro-Israel, or that Misha was a raging homophobe, could you really say you’d make a mature decision and stop liking them? Or would you go “but Dean/Cass would never do that!”

it’s like with Mark Hamill. I love Star Wars, and I like Luke Skywalker, but Mark openly supported Biden and was indirectly pro-Israel. Instead of people going “this person has done a bad thing”, the fandom erupted with “Luke skywalker would never do this” like yes obviously the leader of a rebellion against an oppressive empire run by an old wrinkly white guy would never do this, but this is Mark fucking Hamill, not Luke Skywalker. You’re comparing a real person to a fictional character.

You don’t look at the Joker and go “Heath Ledger would never kill someone!” Because it’s obvious that the Joker is a fictional character and that the things the character says and does is not reflected by the actor. So why is it so hard to flip it around? Why are so many people unable to look at a good character and think “these words and actions aren’t the actors real beliefs”??

So, I played the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo, and I have some thoughts about that. Spoiler-free assessment? A resounding “meh.” I won’t be pre-ordering, maybe waiting for a sale.

 Spoilers below under the cut:

At first, I thought they’d made some pretty cool changes. The introductory cutscene with Aerith in the alleyway is expanded a bit, and does a pretty good job of making her look kinda like this one note of light in a dark and completely indifferent city. That was good.

The problems start the moment Avalanche gets off the train, and I began to realize that the game wasn’t simply being expounded on, it was being intensively over-produced in the sort of way the modern Final Fantasy series have been: Injecting goofy, out-of-place anime antics constantly in places they don’t belong.

Jessie can’t stop going on about how hot Cloud is, Wedge just awkwardly stands in front of Cloud with a big cheesy grin giving him a thumbs-up out of nowhere, Biggs is an afterthought and Barret isn’t just angry, he’s completely insane. Like the dude has some weird furious/mirthful switch that constantly flicks up and down, sometimes within the same sentence. He’s like B.A. Baracus as written by Joe Biden.

Next is the combat. I’m 200% not a fan. Changing the game from turn-based to a hack-and-slash just makes it feel like tedious button-mashing, and the ATB system, where you have to build meter by attacking in order to cast spells, use abilities or even use items, is completely obnoxious. It’d be one thing if you had unlimited access to those things outside of the ATB meter, but you still have a limited inventory and an MP pool to cast spells from.

Look, Square, we need to talk. People who hate turn-based combat don’t play Final Fantasy games. They make angry YouTube videos about how JRPGs suck and they can’t believe they’ve been forced to review another one. Stop being embarrassed of turn-based combat. It’s fine.

Then, since everything’s overproduced, we get more cutscenes that show that Avalanche was too incompetent to blow up the reactor with their dinky bomb, so President Shinra makes the guardbots go haywire and do it for you. Oh, fuck you. Let the ecoterrorists be fucking ecoterrorists you cowards.

And, finally, Squanix dubs still can’t stop making everyone grunt unnecessarily like Speed Racer. I kinda wish localization teams would just ignore every “oh ah uh ugh” prompt they can get away with.

But, y’know, it’s a prettier FF7, so it at least delivers the one thing fans have been asking for for over 20 years.

Does anyone feel like there may be a legit civil war in america coming soon?

I’m not saying this as if violence is a good thing and im calling for this to happen, i’m just seeing how hard shit has been hitting the fan recently.

Trump has an insane amount of power over his followers, to the point where they are literally dying for the economy as if it’s a just and holy cause.

this isn’t just me saying this, cult experts agree:

https://www.salon.com/2020/04/07/cult-expert-steven-hassan-trumps-mind-control-cult-now-faces-an-existential-crisis/

There is no turning back at this point, they are willing to die for him no matter what. America has become jonestown.

that being said; it really seems like joe biden is going to win the primaries. He has so many notable supporters it’s unreal, all of the democratic nominees endorsed him! Even Yang supported Biden! The one who wanted universal fucking income!

Also, everyone’s main source of media, CNN ABC NBC ETC ETC, are making him out to seem like the only viable option.

and bro... like MY DUDE.... its not even that i don’t agree with his centrist views okay... (and i dont agree with them. at all. capitalism needs to be euthanized imo... or atleast castrated)

look the fact of the matter is:

Biden

has

dementia

I don’t give a shit about how you feel about bernie, biden HAS DEMENTIA. Fox news is going to eat him alive and trump is going to win AGAIN. When he does i feel like there may be riots that turn into something much more horrible and intense, i dont know.

i can see people vs the military and normal life breaking apart

am i alone in this? like?? can someone smarter than me tell me off plz?? with facts and shit??? sta tissti cs???
