I wish there was a way for people to make others aware of their causes and /or to talk about not forgetting things in the shuffle of the mainstream news cycle so on and so forth WITHOUT FUCKING GUILT TRIPPING PEOPLE.
I figure that some of you all just can't help it, you're frustrated. I'm not saying that you shouldn't ask people to care, what I'm saying is that guilt tripping is a very poor strategy.
I personally react with a violent pissed-off mood to it. And again, to head off further GUILT TRIPPING, yeah, I am AWARE that I have privilege and don't "deserve" to get pissed off. But that's the thing - I don't actually care that I do not "deserve" things or "shouldn't" be a way, it is how my brain reacts - instinctively, muscle-memory. It's like how my father would yell at me to do dishes as a kid, including using guilt-tripping tactics. Would take at least a day and a LOT of yelling / fighting before the damn things got done. In my adult life, I still drag ass on that particular chore, in large part because of the fights with my parents over it, but I get it done and take care of myself because of other motivations, such as "If I want to cook yummy things, I must clean."
It's a psychology and tactics things.
What I am begging is PLEASE, INTERNET, can you find a way to motivate people without the guilt tripping? Some of us have that immediate hackle-raise in our brains when we see it that makes want to ignore things or to immediately feel hostile for no reason.

Nothing Ever Ends
Nothing ever ends,
just like that,
it keeps you hanging on,
hoping for so much more.
The moments,
seconds, minutes, hours,
they keep ticking one by one,
stretching to eternity –
nothing ever ends.
Life’s experiences,
always leave you breathless
and there are always,
new beginnings,
new loves,
new memories,
new happy times.
Love can bring,
shining moments
and it seems your love…

Chainsaw Man has always been about power and control and a guy who has been stripped of his childhood and teenage years to then be constantly used and manipulated, forced to become hypersexual after being groomed and sexually assaulted, and losing the one bit of normalcy there's left in him.
Denji has no control over both his body and decisions and instantly becomes a vessel of what he thinks will fix him, the very same thing Asa is to Yoru, who keeps demanding war and respect and power and she knows what to do to make Denji lose his humanity.
The relationship between Denji and Asa is so genuine and human that using that against both of their wills is incredibly violating and dehumanizing. And that's why it is so good. And that's why it needs to be explicit. And that's why I am extremely surprised people are grossed out by this happening when dehumanizing and taking control of the lives of others is exactly what War would do.

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without

Constantly plagued with thoughts of Edwin now knowing he enjoys being courted and Charles (compulsive charmer) with a whole new arsenal up his sleeve (laser focus on Monty’s whole deal)
“I mean, my smile is prett-y convincing” yeah yeah okay I can see where this is heading. Outlook not so good (for me)
