Doctor Who

Moffat era Doctor Who is better, more interesting, and has better written women than Chibnall era Doctor Who

🔥 rose tyler

she would need to take a Fucking Minute to adjust after journey’s end and it would not be easy for her. not because tentoo isn’t the doctor or anything like that, he is, and rose would see that, but because she never planned to stay in pete’s world. from day one of being stuck there she was working to get back to the prime universe. every hour of every day she was working on getting back. i doubt she had friends other than mickey, and he’s now gone. i doubt she had much of a life there at all. she would take a while to adjust to the idea of being in pete’s world permanently because it is an Entirely Different Universe. also i hate when people act like being in pete’s world with tentoo was the Only Way she would ever have been happy, or that a normal suburbia white picket fence life was what she had secretly wanted all along, because that is just patently untrue

🔥 lgbt infighting discourse

everyone keeps referring to the "lgbt community" as though this is an ontologically, prediscursively extant organ of which we all hold a shared definition (and as though "community" in this context is an a priori useful descriptor) and i think that's the misconception we need to start tackling before we can accomplish anything else

🔥 for Tekken if you got any?

Hmmm... I'm not sure if my opinions can be considered unpopular, but imma share them anyway

No readmore because it's not that long lmao

As for Kazuya and Jun, I don't think there's much hope for them. Too much has happened that cannot be undone over the years that cannot be taken back. It's tragic, and as much as I usually like to cling on to hope for something wholesome, I have my doubts.

Tekken fans be doing too much about the newcomers sometimes. I get that you miss your OGs, but it's not the new ones' fault, I promise.

I know Tekken 4 would leave a lot of unanswered questions, but I personally feel it was its peak lorewise. As much as I enjoyed the individuals' stories in Tekken 5, I don't like how it got at the expense of the original story. Like... Jinpachi got possessed by an evil spirit which wants to destroy the world, what else?

🔥 (letzte generation)

weiß nicht wie unpopulär die Meinung ist aber mein take ist, dass es hinsichtlich der Repressionen, die die letze Generation derzeit erfährt, sinnlos ist, als KommunistIn oder kommunistische Org seine Zeit darauf zu verwenden, sich nach außen hin von der letzten Generation abzugrenzen, da die meisten Leute, die entweder apolitisch oder nur anpolitisiert sind generell dazu tendieren, alles links von der SPD in einen Topf zu schmeißen und es letztendlich niemanden juckt ob die kommunistische Gruppe xy die letzte Generation jetzt scheiße findet, da das Nischenstreitigkeiten sind und nicht dazu beiträgt, dass irgendwer ein besseres Bild von linken Bewegungen als solche bekommt. Klar sollte man gruppenintern und auch im Gespräch mit Außenstehenden die Aktionsformen der letzten Generation klar als nicht zielführend benennen und auch die eigene politischen Praxis anhand dieser Kritik reflektieren, im Fall von Repressionen gehen Solidaritätsbekundungen aber vor, da diese (Repressionen) sich nie auf die letzte Generation beschränken werden, sondern einen Angriff auf linke Bewegungen und Organisationen allgemein bedeuten

🔥 Homestuck

really REALLY unpopular opinion but with a couple of notable exceptions, i really don’t think it’s that big of a deal that Homestuck has some bigoted & otherwise unsavoury language in it. like, don’t get me wrong, i’m not thrilled about it, but any time i talk about reading Homestuck in 2023 somebody suggests the mod that takes all the slurs out, and whilst i’m glad such a thing exists, personally i think that Homestuck is a more honest & impactful storyline when it is authentically about shitty little teenagers in 2009 who think it’s ok to call each other “gay” or “retarded”. it’s not nice but again to me it’s authentic to the truth of teenagers talking online in chat windows in 2009. again, glad the option exists for people who don’t wanna see that, but i also think it’s important that adults are able to engage with uncensored versions of a text too, especially something like Homestuck

🔥 dr who ships

oh i have many unpopular opinions on these.

if you see nine/rose and ten/rose as two entirely separate and distinct things you have missed the point of at least two episodes

if you get genuinely angry or annoyed at people for shipping rose tyler with post-ten doctors you should go outside perhaps.

actually if you get genuinely angry or annoyed at people for any sort of dr who shipping reason you should throw your computer into the ocean and live in the wild for several months like thoreau. that being said,

twelve/clara is 1000x more interesting when read as toxic platonic codependency than as a romance, and boiling them down to simple romance makes it boring

thasmin COULD have been good but by the time the showrunners started paying attention to it was far too late and they would have been better off not touching it at all. it should have started much earlier, preferably from day one. hell, even if they had started in series 12 it could have been good. but according matt strevens they “forgot”.

rose tyler and river song would get along extremely well. in a gay way

🔥The ice giants

Oh, this one's tricky. Do people have strong enough feelings about the ice giants for opinions about them to be unpopular? Even NASA doesn't care enough about them to send a spacecraft more than once in a blue moon. I think I'll try to weasel out of this one with the opinion 'all planets are interesting, even Neptune,' on the grounds that uninterestingness is itself the dominant opinion.

The midcentury explorations of the solar system were, in retrospect, kind of crushing for the human imagination. We went from totally unbounded speculations about the diversity of worlds- imagining robust ecosystems on Venus and Mars as late as the 50s and early 60s- to a series of photographs showing cratered, dead, atmosphere-less worlds. And 'realism' became accepting these photographs, building a story of the cosmos that is not just sterile but quite simple, treating the solar system as conforming closely to low-complexity models of planetary formation. Gravity collects micrometeorites and gas particles in planetoids and moons according to the ratios predicted by temperature and distance from the center of the accretion disk; terrestrial worlds close in, gas giants further out, ice giants further still. The planets sort themselves by density, with interior deformation or sortition based on thermal gradients, radioactive decay, magnetic forces; moons find a stable orbit or don't, and that's that.

But the thing is, once you actually get past that superficial Voyager flyby-photograph, these worlds all tend to have dramatic and exciting particularities of their own. Look at Pluto! Look at Titan! Look at Enceladus! Look at Ceres! Probably the most boring and well-studied planet I can think of is Mercury, and even that has cool stuff like solid ice at the surface.

Part of this is just noticing over time that the interface between planets and space (that is, their surface) is not always or even usually the most interesting part of them, and assumptions to the contrary are an understandable but misleading form of Earth-chauvinism.

And a larger share of it, I think, is just that once you get something substantially larger than an asteroid, the combined influence of so much volume, so much mass, and so much time just tends to amplify the variance of your system incredibly far beyond what you'd expect from your 'terrestrial, gas giant, ice giant' template. The model is actionably useful, don't get me wrong, and worlds rarely vary so much that they outright break their category. But nothing the size of a moon or planet is actually simple, and nothing on the scale of four billion years is actually stable. And so each of these things, no matter how straightforward the template, will gradually tilt and totter its way within an unfathomably large space of possibilities to something that is practically speaking unique, and which reveals something new about the cosmos that you can't find anywhere else.

If the ice giants seem simple, it's a reflection of our methods and our technological limits, not the planets themselves. We are, generally speaking, absolutely terrible about investigating gaseous worlds on their own terms- and maybe we simply don't have the right tools or the right questions yet to figure out what makes Neptune and Uranus special. But it's only a matter of time.

Unpopular opinion(?): Deruth Henituse

Let's all face it: Deuth wasn't a bad father to Og!Cale. He was millions of times better than a lot of fictional fathers and I wholeheartedly agree with that. ദ്ദി（• ˕ •マ.ᐟ

Unpopular opinion: That's doesn't mean I have to like him. (¬⤙¬ )

And I'm all for different opinions. People can view one thing in various different ways, and that's perfectly understandable! I don't like Deruth and that's mine.

Deruth was-no, is a coward. The lovely author of the novel has made it pretty clear. And I don't hate him for it. Being a coward is not a sin, but neglecting your son is.

Like b*tch, most fanfictions make you a better father than you are just because your wife was dead like WTF?!?! Your son's mom was dead too REMEMBER THAT?!?! 눈_눈

And I'm not against Cale and Deruth having a good relationship or those fanfics that basically erase Deruth's wrongdoing because to be honest, I enjoy them too. It's much easier to pretend Deruth was a good father and that our lovely little Og!Cale had a wonderful life than look at canon. o(TヘTo)

Let's recap: Deruth was a decent father until Jour died. Then he went into a deep depression of which Cale tried his bestest to pull his father out of. We know Cale basically ignored his own sorrow just to take care of his father AND the count duties his father was ignoring at the same time. While there is nothing wrong with grieving as losing Jour was very hard for Deruth, couldn't he have at least put SOME effort into assigning someone efficient to handle his duties so 7-year-old Cale didn't have to?

While on the topic of grieving, Deruth not only failed his duties as a count but as a father. I personally have no experience with this, but I had a friend with a dead mother. Even though her father must've been sad too, he put in effort to take care of her and her sister, send them to school, make money, manage the household and everything. Fathers and mothers push aside their sorrow every day to do the bast they can for their children. Deruth, on the other hand, was too much of a fool to do any of that.

Deruth wasn't the only one who lost Jour, after all. Cale lost his mother. The one who gave birth to him, raised him, hugged him, told her all his secrets, whom did the same in return, and was the only other person with the same bright and beautiful hair that he had.

And he could've turned around after a few weeks and fixed everything up and let both him and Cale heal with each other. But NOOOO~ He had to leave his only cute, lovely, wonderful, but most of all GRIEVING son all alone in a cold and lonely mansion for vacation. Like he could've at least taken him along so they could grieve together? But NOOOO~ Cale looks too much like his dead wife and that's so iMpOsSiBle~ ～(　TロT)σ

But he fixed that? How? By marrying the woman on the spot! Bringing in a new countess when no one but him got over the old one and turning up all the dark shades of sorrow into wedding curtains before Cale even knew what was happening! (°ロ°)

But I also know he had good intentions. Being the count and all, he probably knew marrying Violan would mean she could help her with the household. Maybe he also thought that Cale would immediately think of her as his mother.

Now, him falling in love wasn't a sin and Violan is an amazing woman😍, but I think he undermined his son's sorrow just because he found a reason to move on from Jour.😔

BTW, Violan, Basen, and Lily are amazing. They're one of my most fave fictional families and no one can tell me otherwise. Go them! q(≧▽≦q)

And as the years go by, our smart Cale realizes that the vassals and the collateral family are coming after Violan and Basen and decided to throw away his life and soul all for his father's picturesque perfect family; just so that coward can be happy.

And then KRS!Cale comes along (also love him, go my baby make fires 🔥 and steal MONAH!!! 🫰💰💵) and suddenly, Deruth thinks Cale is all "fixed" and "not broken" so he can finally reach out to his son, only it's NOT HIS SON ANYMORE!!! Like, he had over 10 years even after marrying Violan to reach out to him but ?????

But since there are no implications of him raising a hand against Cale, I don't hate him and wish for his death like another certain protagonist's father (I'm looking at you, Kim Dokja's 'father'), but that doesn't mean I can just forgive and forget all of this, okay?

Yes, he let Cale waste his life away because he couldn't even protect the new family member that he brought into the family HIMSELF as the count, so Cale had to do it himself. And from what I can infer, when the Choi Han incident happened in TBoaH, he didn't even show up or visit him even though we know Cale would fight the damn gods if it were the other way around. He did provide Cale with the best treatment and kept an eye on him, but couldn't bear to face him.

So in conclusion: I don't really hate Deruth, but please for the love of peace, family, and chaos DON'T convince me to like him one bit.

🔥 the transmasculine community

home to the most annoying archetype of dudes known to man. for example (including but not limited to): the transandrophobia truther, the zionist w a victim complex (these two often come as a pair), the 'will detransition for a straight guy', the "closet case" (live their whole lives as cis women, yet act like the high authority on transness and transphobia, love to speak over out/publicly trans ppl, esp trans women, 99.999% of the time theyre not closeted for safety reasons), the 'kalvin garrah' (or 'the transmasc blair white'), the one way too involved in kindrama, the softboy achillean, the 'calls himself a fag communist yet never had a single critical thought abt anything ever', etc.
