#seriously ford haters are SUCH assholes

[azelmaandeponine]

Me when I'm in a no media literacy competition and demonizing autistic-coded abuse victims competition and my opponent is the Gravity Falls fandom:

Ford did not get Stan kicked out. That was Filbrick. Ford was a child living in an abusive home. To say that it's Ford's fault is a) abuse apologism as it shifts the blame off the abuser and makes excuses for that abuser and b) victim blaming as it shifts the blame onto one of the victims.

Ford is also not an "entitled baby".

FELLAS, IS IT ENTITLED TO *checks notes* WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE?

He had every right to be angry at Stan over the project. If one of my siblings did that to me, I'd probably never speak to them again. Ford did not know it was an accident, and thought it was deliberate sabotage. On top of that, Stan acted like it didn't even matter and wasn't at all apologetic (which would make it seem like it wasn't an accident). And ultimately, it was more about the betrayal than about the school (but college was still a big deal).

And as a poor Jewish kid in the 70s, college was far from a guarantee. The chance Ford lost as result of Stan's actions is a big deal.

"Narcissist"

And there's the ableism this fandom is so well known for. NPD is not "bad person disorder". There is no "bad person disorder". Regardless, wanting to go to college and wanting a good future for yourself isn't narcissism. What Ford wants is just as important as what Stan wants. Ford has intense interests separate from Stan's, which is fine. He wants to pursue those interests, which is fine. Ford having Special Interests/hyperfixations that he wants to pursue is not a moral failing. You're just ableist.

And Dipper thought that because that's what it looked like.

Rewatching gravity falls

How THE FUCK was Stan painted as the bad guy

FORD WAS AN ENTITLED LITTLE BABY

Yes what Stan did was rash

But maybe that wouldn't have happened

IF STAN'S PARENTS DIDN'T RAISE A LITTLE NARCISSIST

So Ford gets him KICKED OUT

I will forever be on Stan's side

And it makes me mad that Dipper just automatically assumed Stan was a dangerous criminal trying to kill everyone
