Tony: Harley, you remind me of an old college friend I had
Harley: Whats he like?
Tony: I'm not sure what he's like now, we don't talk anymore
Harley: how come?
Tony: many reasons: he was always asking for money, he was a horrible drunk and many other reasons such as him being dead now
Harley: yeah, thats usually a pretty good reason for not talking to somebody
Peter: *enters the room* what is?
Harley: them being dead
Peter: *gasp* that is no excuse! I still talk to my parents and Aunt May and Uncle Ben.
Tony: how?
Peter: ouija board!

NO BECAUSE WITH THE WAY BONNIE, TYLER, AND ENZO WERE WRITTEN, I’M ACTUALLY STUNNED AT HOW RACIST JULIE PLEC IS.
Like Michael Trevino is a non white fully Mexican man, Kat is a white Jewish/African American woman, and Michael Malarkey is a mixed man with Palestinian/Lebanese (Arab) heritage… what do Enzo, Tyler, and Bonnie have in common? LAZY AND/OR BAD WRITING. Enzo, like Bonnie and Tyler, had a compelling character and personality and storyline potential, but noooooo. Even if he wasn’t the most compelling love interest for Bonnie (which I also think was lazy writing), HE WAS DONE WRONG. THERE COULDVE BEEN MORE DONE WITH HIM.
Even in TO, POC aren’t done well. While POC are done better in TO than TVD, I don’t like how they did Marcel. Nope. I ain’t with the Marbekah train, and the Mikaelsons vilified that man when he was right about A LOT of things. AND THEY STAYED AT THE SAME HOUSE THAT HE WAS A SLAVE AT. THAT SHIT WAS WEIRD. But yeah, they made it very clear that it didn’t matter how close to the family Marcel was, he was never one of them. And maybe I’m reaching, but it reminds me of how in some white families that adopt black kids, they treat the black kid completely different than their biological children and I don’t like those undertones… but maybe it’s just me overthinking. And the thing is, she didn’t HAVE to write the Mikaelsons like that. Plec could’ve emphasised the family bond that the mikaelsons had with Marcel and how much it hurts for both Klaus and Marcel to be at odds with one another, but noooooo. They treated Marcel like that one “problem child” that’s iced out of the family.
But the racism carries on into Legacies because you cannot TELL ME that Alaric of all fucking individuals had a more compelling storyline than MG or RAF.
Not even in Legacies but in TVD, but remember Sarah Salvatore? The black Salvatore? SHE WAS DONE WRONG. COULD’VE HAD A GOOD STORYLINE.
Like people seem to think that the racism was only with Kat (and to be fair, she’s one of the only ones who has been outspoken about the racism), but as I look back at the TVDU more, it’s actually worse than I thought.
Vincent, Marcel, Bonnie, Tyler, Enzo, I’m definitely forgetting some, but the list goes on and on and on.
You summed everything perfectly tbh.
Yeah, Kat wasn’t the only one. Bonnie fans were rallying for years when the show aired and stopped airing. So that voice of fans naturally seems louder.
thank you for the ask💜!

I also think that ‘unsettling’ is a bit micro aggressive - but I also understand if people hate voice changers and avoid him because of that. But yeah what the other anon says is true if someone jumps to defend their fav because they have autism/adhd but then proceed to get mad at Karl for expressing the same behaviors and actions, that is not helpful nor is is fair and they’re just being a jerk.
The thing with him replying was completely understandable and might have even been an idea from MrBeast - as much as we like Karl he still is an industry plant and he has the reputation of the brand to hold up. Eventually I think that got lifted - especially after the Antarctica trip.
also the dream team did hardly ANY content after October - a couple streams and a few videos but other then that not much.
also it’s weird to hold Karl to a different standard for not replying when people from Munchy were doing the same thing.
yeah I think a lot of people need to reexamine why they find certain creators mannerisms "creepy" or "unsettling" so much implicit bias exists in those nonsensical, intuition based feelings. if they can't be justified with logic then they can very easily be influenced by ableism or white supremacy or any kind of social bias you may have been raised with.

I managed to amass 1000 followers on TikTok before i quit. What a nightmare! I dread the possibility that anybody on this platform might want to listen to what i have to say. I dread that one day i prepare myself the scream into the void, only to find myself yelling at people.
