#truly is the piss on the poor website

Not to yuck anyone's yum here, but I don't see how someone can do meta if they don't even have basic reading comprehension, much less do surface level critical analysis that says anything of substance.

someone misreading my response and immediately blocking me after @ ing me

like protect your peace ofc but you actually are a pissant if you respond to someone and then immediately block, esp when there was 0 mudslinging and we werent even having a conversation

I was literally posting that I think it's a real shame that Teruhashi never got a proper character arc like almost everyone else did despite being one of the longest-running characters. All of her episodes are about chasing a man or being chased by men, except for the couple of episodes where she's extremely petty about another woman possibly taking her rightful place.

She never gets to question her commitment to patriarchally-defined femininity. She never gets to realize that her knee-jerk reaction to other women is formed by the same poisonous ideals that makes her damage her own health to please strangers who only care about her beauty. She never gets to confront her family about whatever in her upbringing made her think she has to carry the world on her shoulders.

Sorry for being interested in Teruhashi as a character and not just a vehicle for romance.

Seeing mangahood enjoyers who swear up and down that the fma manga/Brotherhood is "anti-military"/"anti-imperialist" is like seeing someone repeatedly argue that your bog standard copaganda procedural is "anti-cop"/"acab".

I don’t expect a furry to get nuance in situations like this but shit like honors education/basically what you were talking about in that post is something parents of nd kids put their kids through because of ableism and trust me a lot of people who went through these programs that literally thrived on being violent towards people with learning disabilities, teaching people that failure isnt an option, and possibly returning home to abusive parents if you got anything below a b- is going to make people grow up thinking they failed and aren’t doing right, it’s not because they think they are better than you or whatever tf you were trying to imply with that just completely tone deaf post of yours by the way!

not only are you describing, point for point, things that I also went through, the entire thesis of that post was that being described as a "gifted child" doesn't meaningfully improve your life. you're getting angry at me for agreeing with you!!

but it's okay since this really emphasizes the central idea that being called a "gifted kid" doesn't actually mean you'll have a leg up on developing useful skills, like reading comprehension.

what does me being a furry have to do with it, btw. are you the only person on the planet who thinks furries are less likely to be neurodivergent

another anon really mad at me for my “don’t decide based on your own gut instinct that professional historians are liars just because you feel the truth should be something different” post. Big long screed about how scientists are all ivory tower eggheads who hate the common folk, etc etc, but ended with this:

if people actually cared about science and knowledge EVERYONE would be allowed to participate equally if they put in the work and time and research, not just people who are fortunate and rich enough to go to college.

(emphasis mine)

Yes!!! Absolutely! IF YOU PUT IN THE WORK AND TIME AND RESEARCH. That was my WHOLE POINT. That was. Literally. My entire point. My whole, entire point was about people uncritically repeating things they saw on the internet/came up with in their heads based on doing no research and being hostile to people who HAVE done the research saying “no that’s not true.” Putting in the work and time and research is the entire point. And I welcome everyone who wants to to do so. Read historical sources! Record the plant species in your hometown! Citizen science is great! There are ABSOLUTELY examples of non-experts coming up with new theories through years of careful observation… and then working alongside experts to investigate them.

I ABSOLUTELY welcome anyone who wants to put in the work, time, and research investigating primary sources to participate in the production of knowledge. That’s great! I never said otherwise! But. Before you write off scientists completely… guess who has put in a whole lot of work and time and research.

Ok so the audio drama production post is breaking 1k with literally like 2 people having even come close to the actual intended point of it. Cool. screams into towel

[xumoonhao]

there is something so ironic to me abt tumblr users who Hate ao3 with blind hatred bc the sites really are not that different at all, Especially when it comes down to fact that they’re both services that are home to gross content & bad ppl. like i understand where you’re coming from, i really do, but u cant knock one site for being one thing while using a site that is, behind the scenes, just as abhorrent

[lotsofdreamb0ats]

girls will post about racism to the mutuals and then no less than 2 people including op will decide to deliberately misread what you said about it LOL

[the-innefable-idiot]

Way is such a deliciously angsty character rip king your suffering will be missed

[perfectallamericantits]

yall: omg taylor is so stupid, why would she romanticize the 1830s? what's so cool about the 1830s? the pandemics? the racism? taylor YOU COULDNT EVEN VOTE THEN GOD I FUCKING HATE U

me: um.... obviously taylor swift is aware the 1830s sucked because the very next lyric is "everyone would look down because it wasnt fun anymore, seems like it was never fun even back then, nostalgia is a mind's trick, if I'd been there, I'd hate it" you guys are aware she is literally saying the opposite of what you're claiming right. it is sexist to quotemine a woman and lie about what she said to justify your hatred of her.

yall: omg its not sexist to criticize taylor swift

yall: what is your profession to be able to critique taylor's music because as someone who has played instruments for 7 years, let me tell you this album sucks.

yall: omg you seem really bothered by people not liking the same things u do

yall: taylor swift isnt gunna fuck u

yall: sometimes when yr famous, people hate u for no reason and you need to let it go

yall: omg taylor's music isnt even that good like idk how yall even like this crap

yall: its not sexist to criticize taylor swift

yall: youve been talking about this for hours? touch grass?

yall: people dont have to like the same things u do

yall: just let people hate the album god

yall: please stop using the word sexist when you dont understand it. its not sexist to not like the same things u do.

yall: here is a reason to hate taylor swift (proceeds to claim her carbon emissions are higher than anyone else's despite the fact that she doesnt make the top 30 list for 2023... aka lying to justify their hatred for taylor swift)

yall: its not just this one lyric the album is filled with clunky lyrics that are bad

yall: taylor swift sucks ass and u suck for liking her

yall: die bitch

me: are yall not embarrassed??????????????

✨hi this may sound annoying and repetitive but like just because me and lesbian moots call ourselves dykes pls don't call me that on anon it makes me uncomfortable.✨

[petzu555]

look I am trying to give reddit a chance, but honestly the reading comprehension is so much worse over there, plus they get WAY angrier about their self-inflicted misunderstandings
