#no wonder i blocked that shit out

[eclysia]

remember when i said mido never got any visual comparisons given to him? i lied. he was compared to the onceler

[solradguy]

...what is even the argument for "venom isn't black"? poor lighting?

The argument is so circuitous and insane (he made an argument comparing black people to like cheese curls or something?) that I'm not actually sure what the point being made was, but I think the gist of it was that ASW/Daisuke has never called Venom black or said that he/his family are possibly African immigrants that got British citizenship, so therefore he isn't black because it can't be cited

It's important to note that the guy saying Venom isn't black has also said that Xrd and Strive are non-canon side stories/retcons (because of the LGBT characters) and also argued that Nagoriyuki wasn't black until his official bio dropped. You know, Guilty Gear's character with the most mysterious ancestral origins

It's just racism all the way down, there's no logic in it. An attempt at sounding "sophisticated" to people incapable of thinking critically even in passing, or using their eyes, maybe, but not much else.

[lucienne-thee-librarian]

Just to minimize my chances of being genuinely misunderstood OR deliberately misinterpreted, and crucified for something I don't think, How Dare You Say We Piss on the Poor website etc...I'm gonna say this right up top. I absolutely understand why people don't like Thessaly as a character, if anyone does completely unironically stan her as some kind of feminist hero who Did Nothing Wrong uwu, I personally see it as a bit of a red flag. I don't like terfs real or fictional. In a vacuum, I could even completely sympathize and agree with the people who want her cut.

HOWEVER.

It's really something to me to see people clamoring for her to be cut, because she carries and expressed an ugly indefensible prejudice (transphobia) in words towards (1) person. Meanwhile Hob fucking Gadling enacted one of the most violent forms of antiblack racism I can even think of against thousands no, millions of people, the ripple effects of which still affect billions more today. Just a little light idk, profiting off the fucking slave trade and had to be told by someone else that it was bad...and he's a fan favorite.

People are saying Thessally being Dream's love interest reflects badly on him or is somehow endorsement by the narrative (?!?!?!?!?!? Didn't she (SPOILER ALERT AS IF IT MATTERS BY NOW) help participate in his extended assisted suicide? She's not painted as a great person to me just another character what are y'all SMOKING whatever fine. It's fine this is fine.) But shipping Dream with Mr. Former Slaver is not only not verboten or frowned on widely in the fandom but its THEE most popular pairing by far. So...why the difference?

Like where are the same fans who are saying Thessaly shouldn't just be more clearly shown to be wrong, she shouldn't even be in the show at all when it comes to Hobert's crimes??? Yes, transphobia is indefensible. Isn't racism?

And I hear the cries of "it's fiction!!!" Already rallying (if anyone who needs to hear this even sees it lol) to which I say:

HORSESHIT. I KNOW you don't, deep down, really agree because if you did, why get upset about Thessaly being included??? Why does what she said to one person matter if it's Just Fiction You Guyze. Fictional characters are allowed to do bad things and fiction isn't reality sweaty....except when you only apply that standard to fictional racists you like and simp for, but fictional transphobes you don't are SO HARMFUL they shouldn't even be portrayed in fiction.

Like. Give me a big fat BREAK. This looks like bullshit, no? I'm sorry, but I'd love for someone to try and give any other explanation besides one personally offended you or hit home for you, and the other doesn't.

And if that bothers you or you feel like it says something negative about you...idk what you want me to say??? You can't control how other people perceive you and that's how people outside this majority-of-the-fandom bubble see it. You don't need to respond, I just wish and genuinely hope this gives you a moment to think about why fans who ARE bothered by both (and not just paying lip service to being bothered by the one but railing against the other) are so frustrated with people saying everyone is welcome but in practice only bending over backwards for the comfort and emotions of themselves, and people they can easily relate to.

You don't have to like Thessaly (I don't. I find her an interesting antagonist, I don't stan her. And frankly imo likability is not. the point of her character) but you'll pardon me for feeling more than a bit cynical and side eying people's motivations for what seems a...pretty obvious double standard, on what fictional crimes related to real world issues matter to y'all, and which clearly don't. Either actually bring the same energy to the table for fictional people who committed atrocities, even if against a group you're not part of and thus don't feel the need to empathize with, or just carry on, but accept that you don't have the SLIGHTEST room to talk about cutting characters who do immoral things. And you also need to accept that you look like a hypocrite when you do.

Wanted to repost some of my stuff on X to maybe start a following on there as well…

Yeah.. I think I’ll stick with Tumblr…

[is-this-even-relatable]

I’ve seen this a few times and I wanna address it. In the phandom, as a fan of Danny Phantom, you can be a fan however you want.

You’re not wrong for liking what you like. If you don’t care for AU’s and fanon and all the rewriting and fix-its and shipping… then good on you. If you watched the show as a kid and are a fan because you like canon and the show itself makes you happy, then good on you. If you discovered the show recently or as an adult and are diving into a new passion, then good. on. you.

We all love the show, or at least the concepts and vision behind it, that’s why we are fans. (especially the theme song, THAT I think we can all agree is a hecking banger.)

ASIDE 1: What this post is addressing is the concerns from some people who only like canon, or prefer majority of canon over fanon, about feeling left out of the phandom. I’ve also heard some people, who grew up with the show, who’ve said that Butch Hartman is their childhood hero, and feeling awkward and off to the side in the phandom, while people bash on him and the show.

While yes there are problems, and I truly recommend everyone who reads this looking up “Why don’t people like Butch Hartman?” or “What did Butch Hartman do?” and doing a bit of research on your own, this doesn’t mean you can’t still have that childhood respect.

It’s a bittersweet sort of thing, where someone doesn’t turn out to be as great as you’d envisioned they were. Where you have respect for them from the past, and are learning that they’re not who you thought they’d be, and you feel betrayed because maybe your trust was misplaced. But that’s not on you, and you shouldn’t be shamed for wanting to preserve that memory and keep the innocence of your childhood heroes alive.

I myself, have had a huge part of my childhood and formulaic memories, had to be reevaluated once I got older and realized that hey… that was definitely problematic. I was a kid, and didn’t know any better, but the organizers definitely did. I’m glad to have done it because those experiences really mattered to me, but I feel guilty for thinking that because I also now have the knowledge that it wasn’t right. Cultural appropriation is a huge disrespect to the things I thought I was respecting when I was young. So although I appreciate the memories and the time I spent and who it made me today, I can say for a fact I do not condone the ones who orchestrated it, because I have become an informed individual. Because I know better. So I will continue to love the ideals introduced to me, but I will go about it the correct way.

In that thread, I do think that it’s good for everyone to educate themselves on the media you consume, especially on subtle contexts and perhaps why some things get spread around like “butch hartman sucks��� rather than just accepting or rejecting hearsay without confirming it for yourself. If you don’t know something, seek to understand it!

But, and I stand by this, any existing or future issues with the show’s aging or it’s creator does not give anyone the right to make any other person feel unwelcome. And if anyone, phandom or otherwise, yells and kicks and screams and or otherwise has a hissy fit at you for liking canon or anything like that… then fuck em.

Nobody can stop you from loving what you love! We are all on earth together, and you truly only live once. So don’t waste the amazing time you have doubting yourself. Don’t spend time reading and consuming content that you don’t want to. If you wanna read canon fics only, never reading crossovers, then you. go. damn. do it.

If you’ve never created anything in your life, never drawn a doodle or written a blurb, you are still a part of the phandom, and we are happy to have you. Leave comments, likes, and reblogs to show your presence and appreciation! Tell the content creators you like the most that you appreciate what they’ve done!

In the end, we are all just people, who one day found ourselves reading/watching/looking at a silly ghost boy who was just 14, and found that we couldn’t look away.

I don't care what ships you support, but I will never block or unfollow anyone faster than seeing shipping warriors stirring the pot for no reason

[orcelito]

Yet again hindered by the "this reply is hidden because you have the user blocked" message. It has me Almost wondering whether I'd be better off not blocking so many people. So that I can freely be a nosy bitch.

Almost, but not quite. My block list is for my sanity, after all.

[the-vibing-ghoul]

some people will be all about mental health awareness and leftist ideals of at least tolerating the mentally ill who show ''ugly'' symptoms until it's someone they know and ''care'' about having a bad day and acting like it in a way they don't find appealing

[kitom-kortil]

Lets get into it

Lets start with the anti trans comments and trying to conflate pedophilia and grooming with allowing trans kids to have access to gender affirming healthcare

This is their pinned post.

Nuff said.

First of all ill give u the apology with me misremembering how many times uve made comments about not liking shadlink on Helio's shadlink posts.

They went into you cuz this is fucking inappropriate. YTA, because who the fuck starts a compliment with "Not a fan of this but-" and thinks thats okay in the fucking slightest? Everyone who knows any kind of internet ettiquette understands that thats irritating and disrespectful.

What youve done consistently however is those backhanded comments

Ill hand yall what I initially said, though Helio asked me to delete it because of my incorrect statement about the shadlink. But you have made a number of weird, backhanded comments and given leading questions cuz ur fuckin weird, Ill link to the post on Helio's page here

Youre weird dude. And whats this? This isnt the first time youve started weird shit in a fandom? Let's see how much I can get on that.

This is by no means concise, nor is this really a callout post, Ive def not got the amount of shit on you to call this a callout post, but if i get my hands on the other side Im being told youve been pulling, then I might make another one. This is just to give some context for others about their stupid AITA poll.

Leave Helio the fuck alone you creepy little freak. Youre the asshole, for a number of reasons. Go fuck yourself and eat the block instead of trying to block and unblock Helio to try and keep arguing with viol.

[moongothic]

I'm a simple person

I see untagged Crocodile genderbends, I block on sight

[tempesttz]

made a revelation why is it on the responsibility of the interacter to figure out the boundaries of the interactee before using the site as intended why is it so societally abnormal to consider that its way easier if we all just use the buttons provided on the website and if someone doesn't like you specifically you use the other button provided on the website to block them why is blocking people considered such an awful thing, do you know how many people i block? its freeing. i've blocked people for literally having a different headcanon from me. i'll block people because i don't like their profile. i don't owe anyone my existence and it's not like tumblr sends you an email every time someone blocks you. that'd be counterproductive as hell. i think what i'm trying to say here is we should stop putting so much emphasis in going to someones page and searching through their stuff just to find one comment they make stating [blank] dni and start. i dunno. blocking people we don't like

[punkcherries]

why was i today years old when i found out cn tried to stop jesse infinity train from being indigenous....... dawg

[snixx]

guys the second most popular byler blog on tumblr blocked me 👀

insightful comment from Dave who wasn't aware that the artefact we carry in baldur's gate 3 has any story significance. he always keeps shadowheart nearby and this lowered Dave's intelligence somehow

[be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie]

Jake sullys top Spotify artists every year are beyonce and ed sheeran don't ask me how I know

I’m continuously impressed by this fandom and how chill y'all are. I really thought I’d get out of my midterm to some hate anons but instead, THE FUNNIEST SHIT IN THE WORLD. You all are truly gems.

You are so right and yet wrong at the same time. He is a classic 80's rock man, but he also only knows two pop artists, one male one female. Heres another thing my dad does that Jake Sully also does (theres a second of that post in the works), every single time the radio is on in the car and any pop song plays at all he says "Is this Beyonce?" or "Is this Ed Sheeran?"

*That's What I Want starts playing* Jake: oh my god, this is Ed Sheeran!

Lo'ak: holy fuck.

Neteyam: NO.

Jake Sully also, and this might be controversial, likes Broadway musicals. Catch him, Tuk, Kiri, and Spider at every opening night of every show near them. Tuk and Jake's favorite musical is Six, thank you. Tuk likes the costumes, Jake likes when they make little jokes that are his dumbass sense of humor.

Bonus, here is my gcs reactions to this ask:

[blockcurio]

Curio's still at it, acting as if people need to explain to his self-victimizing hostile self why they blocked him on the internet after he block evades people and constantly deletes blogs to remakes while constantly vagueblogging about how people owe him more than they due in a collaborative hobby where people are allowed to block and set boundaries as they please.

Especially to someone who again, has a record of block evading, defending people blindly, calling serious situations merely "drama", all while claiming to hate said "drama" while perpetuating it with vague posts and commenting passive aggressively on callout posts instead of using that block button he hates so much.
