cant fuck with fandom takes that defuck extremist characters. blorbo set fire to multiple buildings killed dozens and will do so again. every incident is accompanied by a rant about some warped issue or pathetic self perspective and a lot of bared teeth. then enough people who watched the same thing i watched will just.. not register that this is an angry personality. objectively bad and toxic. among other things. like suddenly seeing takes about this genuine asswipe being a normal chill person. where did u see this. what happened. where is my genuinely unwell off-putting blorbo. who the fuck is this

#many such cases. no disrespect to AU stuff and hc's and the like etc but this isn't about that #specifically now i saw a poor jinx take that's just the latest thing to act like a last straw for me with this stuff lol #she is not a foil in any way to silco fellas. her freak matches his freak. they make each other worse. theyre not normal.#the dynamic is so far from sanitized and this is one of the things that fictional literalism & the moral panic that accompanies it f'ed up #it didnt use to be such an issue that characters like jinx are just Like That bc jinx is a character from a show to be played with #we dont HAVE to justify her actions through lenses that adhere very strictly to reality bc it ISN'T real #it's a narrative that in bulk conveys “hey wana see something fucked up”#but from the trajectory of purity culture we canNOT be that loose or playful bc we HAVE to look thru lenses dictating that she's Real #or real-adjacent; ie. she reflects a real person in some creeping literal sense #so now if we LIKE her then she has to in some way be more palatable in the scope of rl acceptability. its so infuriating how this snowballs #let them be Fucked Up! fuck your narratives Up!! storytelling is PLAY not virtue signaling or a morality contest ESPECIALLY in fandoms #also YES they were meant to be portrayed as romantic originally and then they toned it down but the tones are still there. LET IT BE #IT'S! NOT! MEANT! TO! BE! NORMAL! OR ADHERENT TO A SCOPE OF REALISM. NONE OF THIS IS REAL HELLO H E L L O !!#SORRY i'm tired of pretending that the perspective towards storytelling getting a massive hit from purity culture isn't rly off-putting #or outright WORRYING. and fandoms are so weak compared to how it was before radfem language inserted itself into our spaces #SORRY to anyone who wasnt around enough before to know the difference. FFN & LJ used to fuck so hard and so did tmblr #it's harder to have as much fun i think as someone who was So around for that and seen in real time how it's changed now #fandom discourse
