This is absolutely not a callout post on the user who said this, it’s a criticism of the state of the gaming industry, full stop. But somebody reblogged one of my The Evil Within posts a little while ago where I said I didn’t fully understand what had actually happened, and they put in the tags that I should play the dlc. And I was actually in the PS app looking at the dlc, trying to decide if I really wanted to spend the money, when I realized what the fuck I was doing
I am SO SICK of publishers releasing un-fucking-finished games and then hiding critical story elements behind fucking paywalls. I should not have to buy goddamn dlc to understand a game. Paid dlc shouldn’t even be a fucking thing if I’m being completely honest, but especially not shit like that. Ugh.
#she speaks#like fucking yakuza putting ng+ behind a goddamn paywall#and nobody fucking talking about it???#what the fuck?#also the evil within came out ten fucking years ago#that’s how pervasive this shit is#connecting video games to the internet was a mistake

it's really funny when I see a post about someone's personal experience with a mental disorder that shits on, fakeclaims or demonizes a different experience with the same disorder, only to check their blog and find that they are, unsurprisingly, anti endo. crazy how the two relate. wild how ableism against atypical trauma survivors/disabled individuals generalizes itself when allowed to fester.
#pro endo#syscourse#ableism tw#complaining#tbh just mad how pervasive this shit is#support all trauma survivors or support none. no more of this “fuck off if you cope x way or have x symptom”#no more of this “my experience is the word of god and falling outside of that offends me personally#youre so awful for the people youre trying to protect

me every single time I enter this tag
#jack.speaks#aspd#i cannot stand the pervasive belief that simply experiencing symptoms makes u an authority on a subjecy#or means u arent just completely talking out of ur ass#like i hate to be the one to tell u this but mental health is an incredibly compex and complicated field of study#it takes a lot to understand whats happening and why and even when uve studied it for decades theres still shit that cant be explained#or is commonly misunderstood because societal understanding and culture are shifting#like ur not an expert in genetics simply because u have green eyes#thats not how mental health works#90% of the information stated as facts in this tag range from useless to so wrong it hurts#i am begging even a single one of u to do meaningful research before deciding having a mental disorder works the same as being gay#and since its ur ~lived experience~ it means u have even an incling of a fuck about whats going on#i promise u u dont

see this misconception happen way too often, but. guys. luis isn't (necessarily) white. no, seriously; fnaf ar states his full name is luis cabrera, which is a real place:
it's part of the balearic islands, an archipelago forming an autonomous community off the coast of spain. this makes it a toponymic surname, a family name derived from a location -- which implies that luis' family were (at some point) from the island of cabrera, the very real place in -- say it with me -- spain. funnily enough, 'luis' is also the spanish form of the given name 'louis'.
while i'll leave debating the whiteness of hispanic people up to the americans in the audience, if a guy's name is spanish mcspanish, well... i think they might be implying something about his ethnicity, guys! just a hunch. (and maybe a sign you should stop and think about why you assumed he was white in the first place?)
#speaking!#fnaf#luis cabrera#fnaf luis#fnaf ar#discourse#long post#i am from the opposite side of the world#and i STILL got it!#sorry if any of the terms used here are wrong btw#again. other side of the world#i think i've made this exact post before#which should just tell you how pervasive this shit is#even if you don't like him. stop whitewashing him. Please.

I’m here to say that you may absolutely express negativity about veilguard to me as long as it’s not stupid. hate on it for real reasons, of which there are plenty, most of which I’m ignoring because of the hype but would be glad to discuss in a civilized manner. no forced positivity in this zone this is a safe space. unless your criticism is dumb as fuck then I will point and laugh
#sorry people have been posting about how bad the ~discourse~ is#about everything under the sun#and I’m starting to think that people are really just classifying like#‘oh this guy has a different opinion than me’ as discourse#like. hm. here’s an example from the latest and greatest#some people think a certain ending for Astarion is better than the others#they are entitled to that opinion! you are entitled to dksageee!#nobody is attacking you for your preference#even if someone says on their blog ‘oh if you don’t put blorbo bleebus through the bingly bop ritual you’re not a real fan’ that’s still#not a personal attack! that’s just someone Having Thoughts on their own blog#sorry I’m just. sigh#you can’t post any analysis of the actual climactic event in dragon age 2 anymore without it being labeled discourse#and I think. here’s my contribution to the discourse#you all are so obsessed with Avoiding Discourse that you’re not letting yourself feel the joy of getting stupidly invested in media#anyway. aren’t you tired of being nice. don’t you wanna go apeshit#ugh sigh DISCLAIMER because this is tumblr and you have to over explain lest someone take you in the worst possible faith#I am WELL AWARE of people who do actually like attack people and make online space hell for the differing opinions#tis why I specified people talking about their takes *on their own blog*#I am also WELL AWARE of pervasive issues in fandom. namely racism. I’m talking about racism and looking directly at the way bg3 fandom#treats and talks about wyll. and the way they treat black fans who rightfully call that shit out#racism isn’t discourse. it’s racism#talking about racism isn’t discourse. don’t devalue the conversation like that#disclaimers over. I stand by what I said#this is a safe space to have opinions. even if I disagree. unless what you’re saying is really stupid#don’t fish for reasons to be a hater. haterism should come naturally or not at all#this has been a post

”Kamala lost bc of the genocide not bc of her race/gender” is the most I only exist in a leftist internet bubble type shit i ever heard
#the adas speak#i truly don’t think the average american gives more of a fuck about international relations than being racist/misogynistic#in fact. the average american’s rampant racism and misogyny will stop them from caring about international relations at all#or voting for a mixed woman! even over Trump!!#i need you. to be so fucking for real#and understand how pervasive racism and misogyny are in this country. or else.#pick up a history book. for so many reasons. that shit’s embarrassing

re last reblog i feel like so much of tumblrs or rather fandoms obsession with like unhealthy dynamics in romantic relationships and especially the obsession with defining love as something that can be consuming and dangerous and toxic, something that can harm you because its too intense and too passionate or whatever else, and finding that to be poetic or meaningful in a unique way stems from like. two things. 1. not recognizing that the abuse theyve endured in the name of love (could be from anyone, including parents, friends, even teachers, etc.) was actually abuse (and perpetuating the idea that it isnt by openly romanticizing it) or 2. never having been in the situations theyre describing themselves, so it has a certain charm or allure or mystery to it and they're treating it as something to ponder from a safe distance, rather than the incredibly banal sort of everyday evil that it actually is. anyway my point with all this is that i dont have time for this shit 👍
#the second option is worse to me because the first one is like. theyve been victims themselves and just dont know how to process it#thats less infuriating to me than “waow.. love that sucks... what an interesting concept..#everyone thinks love is supposed to be good guys but what if it wasn't. would that be fucked up or what“#and i wouldnt give a shit if this wasnt like a pervasive and popular sentiment in fandom spaces#but like. my god#i dont need this attitude in my life i really dont. its regressive#theres many more factors contributing to why im not comfortable in fandom spaces but#this is def one thats been pissing me off more and more lately#and this is coming from someone who LOVES exploring dysfunctional and unhealthy relationships dynamics in fiction#so its not a problem with that. its just the attitude around it#like “selfish choices made in the name of love” people do this ALL THE TIME actually. its very boring#fuck you and your love#anyway#personal#rant over

the concept of "irredeemable media" is so creepy ... a complete hollowing out of nuanced and specific criticisms in favor of a list of elements art shouldn't touch will beget an audience that hasn't learned how to recognize propaganda and implicit bias in the art they love. this is also how we get people who are only capable of interacting with real violence through fictional metaphors. it's easier to say that something is bad than it is to recognize how, which requires actual confrontation with your own part in upholding these ideas. plus the whole thing is just boring and silly ... if you close the laptop all your enemies will disappear, but the beliefs present in the art on your dni list will still exist. are you able to combat them? do you even know what they are?
#it speaks!#this reads so pretentious i think but idk how else to phrase it all. very vague post bc its not about anything specifically#just like are we not tired. none of this is activism you have to understand why this shit is pervasive and how its spread through art

and i love drawing women looking evil as much as the next guy. don't get me wrong. but that with a girlbossifying caption really seems to be the entirety of people's analysis sometimes lol
#joshathan.txt#the only thing worse than ignoring female characters is girlbossifying them#reduce all their characterization into one snappy quirky caption about how war crimes are feminism#always the same same same 'god forbid women do anything' shit in between paragraphs and paragraphs of male character analysis#why is that? why is every messy complicated female character the fucking same to you?#none of this is directed at anyone specific i just. i see this from so many people in so many different fandoms#artists writers people who are into character and plot analysis just. everywhere. it's so fucking pervasive#god forbid women BE A FUCKING CHARACTER WHO DOES ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!#WITHOUT PEOPLE JUMPING TO FLATTEN THEM OUT INTO THE SAME BLAND NOTHING

i think i gotta pl;ay fallout 4 ..
#YAPPING this morninh#i tried watching the show i DIDNT LIKE IT. i would rather play the games#in middle school i tried fallout3 but i never felt incentivized to explore the world after getting out of the vault .#i think beth esda games are just like that though idk. ive been playing wolfing stein 2 (2017) and it feels like. beth esda uncharted#i think its just bc its an action adventure and you have like a little team and so far it hasnt been open world the way it was advertised#but ive been getting into the lore of the world in falloiut and im really enjoying it so maybe my game tastes have changed idk its worth a#shot :D i watched this video abt ghoul being an embodiment of the mythologized wild west genre in american pop culture history and how#pervasive a fantasy like that is. the continuation of manifest destiny and rooted in white supremacy yk. but also through the fallout lens#of 'Look at this idealized nuclear family/ american dream and look who it excludes look how it fails' and its really making me wanna try#playing again. i think one of my biggest flaws that i hate is that i cannot tolerate playing old games that are ugly in retrospect .... i#just cant.... i cant play the first red dead its too ugly im sorry... but i WILL research the lore and stuff#anyway thats why i think ill try 4. im just worried i wont like it bc you know.. i like platform action adventures.. not corny shit like#uncharted but idk maybe its an antiquated way of designing games but i like levels i like being given a campaign. i think my favorite way a#game works is like the way red dead does it. the story progresses but you can also explore on your own time. and the world changes as the#story progresses. idk i think i just maybe am not the target audience for any bethesda game LMFAO. anyway if anyone wants to give some#wise words regarding this Advice opinions etc feel free to send asks leave replies dm me :D

#i get that grindset culture is really pervasive and this kid knows shes gonna have to bust her ass to get ahead in life but damn#i should not be telling 12 year olds how to deal with burnout#constantly torn between telling the kids fuck all this shit do what makes you happy#and being like yeah youre right if you ever want to be able to move out and have financial independence in this city you gotta bust ass#i hate it here#parents if your kids are this stressed and obsessed with school please do not see this as a good thing

I feel the exact same way when I see people use “girly pop” or “babygirl” or the 💅 emoji when what the really are insinuating is f*g. I see it wayyyy to often on other social media sites. Especially about Lando. Yes sometimes it’s meant lovingly, or endearingly, but more often then not it’s used in a mean way.
and even if its used lovingly it most likely carries an undertone of condescension. idk i had a very illuminating conversation two days ago w these two very straight guys id watched quali with, who said they didn't realise the limp wrist meme / the word 'zesty' / babygirl and girlypop were derogatory gay stereotypes, they thought it was 'how girls talk' or imitating women rather than imitating feminine gay men. and i find it soooo funny that when cultural artefacts that are meant to b subversive in the gay community spill over into straight culture, the cishets rly do just turn it back into good ol' gender stereotypes. thats why lando's whole astrology bit for HIM is a casually misogynistic imitation of astrology girls (complete with the pitched up voice), but to tiktok it ended up reading as 'fruity' or 'zesty' or whatever other stupid fucking euphemistic adjective they use to skirt imaginary censors that don't actually exist.
and its funny bc lando is actually so straight-man-ish from his obsession w the world's most boring rich boy sport to his bragging abt sexual exploits on stream to the bluntness / refusal to couch his words & soften the blow in interviews that in women generally doesn't survive past teenhood. but bc hes generally slender and baby-faced (even with that atrocious chandler-bing-in-alternate-reality-episodes goatee) ppl will still code him as feminine on social media / tiktok / fanart / fics especially. idk as someone who like among other things has drawn lando as a girl or in dresses i also personally have a bit of a complicated relationship with the idea of a feminine lando, but it definitely isnt helped by the thoughtlessness with which people in fandom spaces, and also on the internet in general, and also in real life treat these new incognito homophobia cultural trends
#i genuinely think its a pattern that like. theres been sooo many jokes and memes lately that rely on subtext homophobia#and watching quadrant is weird bc thats some of the only straight ppl i expose myself to#and in the past year the homophobia has been ramped up exponentially by them all including lando#the jokes about being 'sus' and about two male members of quadrant being romantic with each other#especially for some reason max and ethan for no clear reason - maybe cos theyre the poshest and therefore softest of the bunch? idk#the gay chicken jokes in the new workout video etc#like back in the first niran one him and lando were doing the typical homophobic bloke thing of not wanting to look at each ofhers asses#while now everybody was leaning into the joke of hahaha ur perving on us ur secretly gay and a predator#and its not just them! sus and fruity and zesty and twink and 💅 and the limp wrist spongebob pic etc#its been ramping up in a weird and unsettling way#idk. idk how to feel abt it all#especially bc its vague and pervasive enough that its suspended in a state between homophobia and misogyny#just seemingly shitting on femininity as a concept. idk#lando#anon#ask#meta#justsayfag

comics also beat you over the head with the themes nowadays. you dont get subtlety or ambiguity. batman comics used to be somber and noir-like. now theyre funny and feel-good and nothing about the stories stick to you and live in your head like long halloween/dark victory or murderer/fugitive-type stories do
#that stuff feels better in the somber comics because its a reprieve and not constant#batman and batman adjacent books are at their best imo when theres this pervasive melancholy dusting even the happy parts#THATS why you read a batman story. yknow#like. theres a ton of stupid shit in murderer/fugitive.#but ill never ever forget the moment cass figures out bruce is batman and how it thematically fits so well with the point of that arc#n ill never forget the way the art in dark victory intentionally draws attention to the similarities between dick and bruce while the text#highlights the ways they differ. because They know theyre different. but We see how they are the same. its good man#batman and robin 2011 is Dark and makes you think. now damian's history is used as a punchline#<- not to say it was perfect or not happening then too but at least you were also getting good stories yknow?
