The more I learn about this Willy Wonka experience the more I am convinced that we as a species just destined to invent Dashcon again once every few years but for different demographics

Unpopular opinion

The MMDC is not that bad.

It has it’s flaws and dramas, but overall it’s okay.

Besides, there are way, way worse fandoms out there. (*cough* Steven Universe *cough* Sailor Moon *cough cough* Ah sorry something’s got in my throat.)

Kazui and Shidou having such pretty (possibly) dead wives is so fucking funny to me because contrast that with Mahiru’s dead boyfriend who looks like a procedurally generated NPC

The conspiracy theorist in me can't help but wonder if the reason James Somerton titled his video "A Measured Response" is to have it show up in the recommended videos section when someone watches hbomb's videos, including "Plagiarism and You(Tube)".

MizuEna week coinciding with the latest niigo event is so funny cause my proseka feed has been alternating between people expressing their desire to beat up Mafuyu’s mom in various colorful ways and cute ship art

I was today’s year old when I learned that there is going to be a new bandori band (no word on them being part of Garupa yet, but fingers crossed cause the music kinda slaps also Roselia collab when)

There are no official voice actor announcements but I swear the main vocals sound like vocalist Sasaki Rico. Like im super confident that it’s her, here for comparison:

(Also what is up with those cryptic af audioldramas they feel like they got ripped straight out of a fucking horror arg at times)

An actual meta about Yaldabaoth and Light Yagami (yes really)

You know people often compare Akechi to Light Yagami as a joke cause of their similar appearance and their whole “looks like a pleasant popular boy but is actually a murdery asshole”, but tbh Yaldabaoth has more in common with Light then Goro does. Lotta words and spoliers under the cut cause this one ran away from me holly hell

Both of them are supposedly well intentioned extremists who are doing bad for the greater good of humanity but have this sort off arrogant "I am most qualified to help these poor lost sheep and fix the world for them as their god" mindset that really makes them more villanious than anything

Also they both only have experience with the human suffering they seek to fix as outside observers of said suffering in a sense: Yaldy is a deity with little to no direct interaction with humanity apart from his chats with Joker as Fake Igor and he himself isn't even human. He perceives human suffering through the lense of a higher being looking down on the poor suffering mortals.

Light is a kid coming from a relatively privileged background: he comes from a regular family, and everything points towards them being pretty well off; he is on good terms with both of his parents whom both shown to be good people who care for their kids. Light hardly experienced hardship in his life but he definietly seen and is aware of the injustices of the world. He is an honor student who's well liked by his classmates and popular with the girls. His dad is a cop - and not just a regular cop but one in a respected and high position.

This results in the both of them being aware of the cruelty of the world and the need of someone to fix it but aproach it in a rather self-rightous way: They both think that they are the only ones qualified to save humanity from it’s own blight and lead them to a brighter future by becoming their God in this brave new world.

This is also why they are ultimately both wrong: They present themselves as humanity’s savoiurs, but they don’t have any legitimate desire to help people, they want power. They want control. Because they believe that they can be the only arbiters of right and wrong, because the dumb sheeple are clearly not qualified to think and act for themselves. I mean, just look where they are now! The filth of the world is running ranpant killing, maiming, stealing, while the poor helpless victims are crying out for someone to save them! And clearly I am the most qualified, nay, the only one who can do it! (Side note, this is also why I’m kinda iffy on the “when you get down to it, the PT and Yaldy are the same” hot takes cause like, if you arguing their methods maybe?? but also no??? The PT are doing what they doing percisely because they know from first hand experience what it’s like to be on the receiving end of the worlds injustice and want to hold the corrupt members of society accountable for their actions. It’s born from a sympathy for others, not from condescending benevolence. Like they are not infallible but c’mon. But that is a rant for another day.)
