#that’s how pervasive this shit is

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.

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.

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?)

@achaziel Making me own post to talk about it too - literally SAME. I am watching Deep Space 9 with my partner and while I'm not one to back down from content that triggers me, there's been several episodes where it's gotten very difficult to keep watching. It doesn't help that a YouTuber I was watching who talks about Star Trek (Steve Shives) decided to compare us jews to the cardassians. Which is such an antisemitic, disgusting remark, not even regarding the parallels of the Cardassian Occupation to the Holocaust.

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

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 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?

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

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

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

seeing a lot of christian instagram reels has mainly just taught me that the average american christian's beliefs are literally worse than those of the small minority of jews who are right-wing and orthodox and whom people love to sensationalize
