seeing twitter burns my eyes...which makes me realize that i dont really have a clear dni? but i know i will automatically block you instantly if you only refer to guda as only "he" or just "she" instead of "they" if there is no clear indication of guda's gender in the post because i prefer that guda is neutral when it comes to discussing meta about them. i am definitely alright if it is on shipping terms... but if you are going to talk about their plight, their feelings, their problems in the story itself, please just say "they"... it doesnt feel right when one of them is left out....

it's quite offputting to me when ppl can't disentangle their hatred for capitalism from a hatred for... new technological innovation? the ways in which capitalism has shaped the development of certain technologies has been deeply negative, not to mention that imperialism ensures that new technology is usually produced via extractive relationships with both the planet + ppl in the global south.

but this weird tying of capitalist impact on innovation (+the idea of what is/is not innovation) to hatred of innovation itself (or even more disturbing valorization of "the good old days"/implications that technology is causing social degeneracy) is baffling to me. perhaps it is impossible to achieve specific technologies without unconscionable resource extraction practices, in which case they should not be pursued. but so many ppl act like there is something inherently morally suspect in pursuit of tech such as autonomous vehicles or AI or automation, independent of the material conditions that produced them/that they may produce.

tesla is evil because they exploit ppl for profit + participate in an economy built on the exploitation of the global south + use 'innovation' as a marketing tool to mask serious safety concerns. they're not evil bcuz they want to make vehicles that move on their own. there are actually a great deal of fantastic applications for vehicles which move on their own? equating technology with moral decay is not a radical position; you need a material analysis of why technological innovation has become characterized by harmful practices.

you can really tell the different audience demographics of Lifesteal vs Hermitcraft by the comment sections because the average spokeishere or whatever comment is like “LIKE THIS if you are a real Spoke fan!!! ❤️👊😎 if this comment gets 100 LIKES ill tell my mom to subscribe 🤪 who else is watching in 2028❓❓😂” whilst the average ethoslab comment is like “my wife is giving birth but this is more important”

One thing that's incredibly annoying about the A:TLA fandom is how nearly every. single. well thought out piece of Zutara analysis is inevitably invaded by people who are massively condescending and allergic to media analysis in general.

If you don't like Zutara, that's fine - but why are you watching 2-4 hour long videos on why they would have been a good pairing if all you have to contribute is, "They weren't canon/you're delusional/they sucked/get over it lol".

It's very frustrating to pop into a fandom space and try to spectate on some thoughtful discussions, just to have it overrun by people being rude.

oh wow you think lance stroll is unskilled and not deserving of his seat should we alert the presses? should we call up the fia? should we invite adrian newey?

Something I've seen a couple of times recently: "Credit to the original artist," or words to that effect.

I've bitched elsewhere to get the feelings out (tl;dr FUCK OFFFFF WHAT A NOTHING PHRASE), but here you're getting the positively-worded PSA:

Crediting art is a practical act to let people know whose work they're enjoying. It needs to at least include their name, and if at all possible it's polite to put a link to somewhere their work can be found so people can explore further. This isn't just a spell we invoke for politeness' sake: it's part of a healthy artistic ecosystem, and without actually connecting to the original artist it's not achieving that purpose.

"Credit to the original artist" invokes the form but has none of the function. It's wearing credit's skin but I don't care about the skin; I need the meat.

crackfic rinezha modern!au where rin runs a cooking blog on the side and nezha is living alone for the first time in his life trying to cook and he keeps leaving comments with diabolical ingredient replacements ('can i replace the peaches with carrots?') and rin loses her shit everytime she gets a notification

nearly 3 years since despair aired and there are still people on this earth who believe with their full chests that the confession scene was platonic. even from cas' side.

Literally someone infodumping excitedly is sexy though. It's hot. It doesn't matter if they're talking about a kid's TV show or mitochondrial concentration gradients, enthusiasm about the world is attractive!! Nobody is sexy "despite" neurodivergence, that shit enhances the flavour!!!

I really do just gotta ask why Chima fans always be saying some shit about "Ninjago is so weirdly pro-war it should rot already!!!" like no I think an action show for kids, which wants to tell you these people are bad and we should fight against them, is NOT super pro-war like you say it is. I think we SHOULD maybe wanna fight bad people who wanna kill everyone and cause mass destruction. Maybe.

Tiktok has exposed me to an unpleasant side of people (mostly dudebros womp womp) saying that in civil war Steve should've chosen & sided with tony??? Are you out of your fucking mind...... why in the fuck would he choose tony over bucky?

"Team tony, Bucky literally killed his parents, I'd be mad too."

WHY ARE Y'ALL JUST ALWAYS FUCKING LEAVING OUT THE FACT THAT BUCKY WAS SUBJECTED TO BRAINWASHING AND CONSTANT TORTURE FOR SEVENTY FUCKING YEARS??!?!??? WHY??!?!???

Bucky is a VICTIM.

Bucky is the only family Steve had left. They literally tell each other "'til the end of the line." That's his FAMILY. Of fucking course he'd be loyal to his best friend from day 1.
