I read that the 19 year old on the sub was terrified of going, but went to make his dad happy, especially since it was Father’s Day weekend. And that the locals are disheartened by all the memes. I can’t imagine having a loved one or friend die in such a horrific way, with no guarantee of even recovering the bodies, and the Internet being like “lol those evil rich people deserved to die”

Exactly.

This is random given I haven’t posted in forever but I just do not understand the appeal of poly relationships.

I love C137cest so much and I know this season finale two-parter is gonna ruin me more because of that. 🙃💔

Come to think of it, are there any examples of a Southerner who is responsibly intelligent or is a genius?

Wait, I got one, Ash from Supernatural. At first he seems like a stereotype but then it turns out he’s a mega genius. The actor is from Louisiana, I think.

I think it should be discussed how in American media, a southern accent is nearly always narrative shorthand for “this character is dumb, belligerent, and racist”.

According to some people I’m “not a Christian” because of my take on fiction and being very much anti-censorship (in that no matter what, all fiction is acceptable to exist).

No. We’re not a Hive Mind. I am a Christian, you just don’t like it because we disagree. That’s stupid of you, because even if you don’t want to accept it - I am a Christian and I do not need or want to defend myself to people with no authority. But damn me because I can’t stand double standards. All y’all sinners and here all y’all are, casting stones at others.

The lack of self-awareness never ceases to amaze me.

After seeing the material released so far for MLP Gen5, I take back at least some of what I said before. The CGI looks pretty good and the ponies are super cute.

I suppose with things being how they are right now I just assumed the worst from what was mentioned about it. It looks like it’s gonna try and retain the spirit of FiM in some regard.

And maybe when they used those woke buzzwords, it was just them saying those things to generate buzz or whatever, but the actual show won’t be about said buzzwords.

Lol idk, all I can say is I’m more optimistic about it now and look forward to the movie. The characters look cute and I’m certainly excited for more exploration on the lore. So yeah, I was being too negative before. I still don’t care for the use of woke buzzwords but eh.

“Whoa, that pony is woke.” — Fluttershy

Turns out the new series of MLP is going to be Woke, guys. EQD posted something about it and all the people involved in the show could say about it was how it was “inclusive”, “diverse” and how the lead is a straight-up “activist”.

Worse yet, it’s supposed to be a sequel to MLP:FiM, set in the future. It’ll explore the previously unexplored parts of Equestria, which is fine. But the buzzwords are dumb because I promise you that whatever they have planned - MLP:FiM already did it and did it better.

Worst of all... it’s gonna be an all-CGI series. When are people going to learn that it’s the exception, not the rule, that CGI series are good? Because most of the time they look like trash.

They wanna milk FiM like the cash-cow it is without putting anything that made it good in there, which is love. Lauren Faust loved her characters and cared about making a good show first and foremost. She wasn’t toy or franchise oriented and the people saw and loved the result of that. What they’re doing with this next series is trying to suck in the anti-bronies, thinking they’ll have the bronies no matter what they do.

Thing is tho, they’ll end up losing the dedicated fanbase, boring actual children, and the woke audience will still find something to hate about it and even if they love it they won’t be a dedicated fanbase. Those types of people don’t dedicate themselves like that because their love is so fragile - someone working on the show does or says something they deem “problematic”? The woke audience trashes the whole show and moves on to the next train wreck.

In the end they’re just doing the same shit as the previous generations of MLP did and are dumbing down content to pander to a specific audience.

I was really hoping that Hasbro, now knowing what made for a damn good show, would seek to replicate that in new ways. But no they just want right back to pandering instead of giving us something with care and passion put into it.

They’re sullying the legacy of FiM by doing this too. Like if you’re gonna fuck over Twilight’s new era of love, friendship, acceptance, etc and have it amount to nothing by sheer virtue of the fact of even having an activist in it to begin with... just... why bother?? Why do it? Why not make a new series that doesn’t negate Twilight’s entire reign? Make a series that’s less of a Sugar Bowl, where these issues you so desperately want to make a show around, so that it actually makes sense for there to be an “activist” character!

(Btw I didn’t include links because this wouldn’t show up otherwise but ClownfishTV made a video over this and there’s the EQD thing I mentioned)

Oh God, there’s even more Owen Grady hate in the CC tag since he never specifically gets mentioned in the show, except for one bit where the radio goes “asset out of containment”. Like guys, he isn’t a public figure in the park.

He works for Masrani studying raptor behavior, as a side project within the park. Claire is obviously someone people are gonna know, Owen isn’t really.

Like why you guys gotta hate on Owen so much? Oh wait, y’all just hate Chris Pratt cuz he isn’t apart of the Hollywood Hive Mind and dares to have opinions of his own and has the audacity to be a decent guy while doing it.

*sigh* I didn’t expect the CC tag to have Owen hate. Considering he isn’t even in it.

But I should have remembered the types of people that gravitate towards animated shows.

[zatanna-against-hate]

In the CC tag and I’m seeing some BS about how Owen Grady (from JW) is “racist” and “sexist”. Like I’ll grant you the sexist part, given how he acts early on in the first JW movie but that doesn’t remain constant during the movie and certainly not in FK. So he gets past being a bit of a sexist fairly quickly. He wasn’t even that bad, really, just a flirt who was clearly a bit bitter about Claire not being into him.

But racist? How?? I mean really, how? Race is never an issue in the movies at all.

Like what am I reading here? I came into this tag for quality CC content and instead I’m seeing this shit. Then again, this is Tumblr, which somehow always managed to ruin my buzz for things by throwing around buzzwords, which is a buzzkill.

I know! A bunch of stuff I saw outright equated to billionaires equaling evil because apparently you can’t make that much money without being evil or some shit??

Like fucking seriously? The lack of humanity from these people is startling.

Also, not that this should matter, but one of those men was a philanthropist who established non-profits for educating youth, eliminating malaria, and animal repopulation. Even that whole reducing carbon bullshit!

Oh yeah, what an evil bastard.

Granted, one of them was a bit loony because he believed we’d all be living underwater after dooming the planet, but still.

One was literally just a diver.

The other two were a father and son who I haven’t read much about. It seems the father’s father runs the company while his kids and grandson oversaw different divisions. The father’s sister oversaw the charity part of the company.

These people had lives and people who loved them dearly. Some did a lot of good in terms of charity and funding, some didn’t. But that doesn’t even really matter because at the end of the day these were people!

Christ, I mean, can you imagine how their families and friends feel seeing their loved ones mocked just because they were wealthy?? Having a lot of money doesn’t mean they were soulless monsters! They were people!

It’s just gross how little regard for life these people have.

And you’ve got people comparing it to the tragic loss of life of those illegal aliens overcrowding a boat. Like, yo, both are tragic losses of life. One got more news coverage because it involved a famous shipwreck and an ambitious project that backfired. The other involved something that didn’t have a hook to make a good story for the news. Both tragedies but when it comes to coverage, not everything is gonna make the front page because tragedies happen everyday.

People more in the public eye are gonna get more attention so that’s just how it is.

The nose cone of the Titanic sub has been found, which means the people inside it have now been declared dead.

Saw some really disgusting stuff over on Twitter today with some monsters there gleefully hoping there was some footage of them dying, I don't really understand why: because they had money? Don't you want money?

For no defensible reason, some news report dug into their backgrounds and announced some of the people trapped had donated to the Republicans: Who'd deliberately go looking for stuff like that while human beings made from the same flesh and blood as you are thought to be trapped more than a mile underwater and about to die from running out of air?

Ordinary people are ordinarily evil.

That awful moment when you gotta unfollow someone who reblogs something telling others to report “drawn CP” alongside real CP, which involves actual children. As tho “drawn CP” is somehow equal to actual children being harmed.

Damn shame. And of course “drawn CP” to them just means extremely unrealistic looking loli / shouta. Now if it’s extremely realistic looking and is indistinguishable from reality, then it would be actually illegal. But trying to claim that the former is also illegal is just plain incorrect.

And so many new people to block too.

Trans “headcanons” for characters who are canonically crossdressers.

Y’all know who I’m talking about.

Fun fact: Cousin Marriage is the one subject matter I am fully educated on due to the fuck tons of research I did as young as 15 years old.

Now I just gotta find all my old research again since it was all saved to my old desktop PC that crapped out on me years ago. orz

I really, like, need to make an about page or a pinned post to try and explain how I am and what I use this blog for because I feel like 90% of the posts I make or contribute to tend to get misunderstood. Like I try to be helpful in some way? I somehow end up saying something insulting. I try to explain what I mean or why I think the way I do? I fumble to put my thoughts into words.

Honestly, I feel like the only time I’m at my most coherent is when I’m basically tearing someone a new asshole...

Ah, well, I’ll try and write something up tomorrow. Worst part is when I go through to try and edit stuff or whatever I end up removing 80% of what I wrote and it ends up as even more I coherent garbage. But I’ll give it a try...

I hate having thoughts that I can’t effectively communicate with words. It really sucks knowing so much and to always end up sounding like I have no idea what I’m saying.

But ha ha, holy crap, if I didn’t have this blog for an opinion outlet I’d probably explode...

[zatanna-against-hate]

I’ma just delete that one post, I’m tired of it now.

I should just stick to fandom wank instead of politics since I can never seem to get what’s in my head out in a clear manner.

Plus I’m moody and everything is irritating me right now and I feel like I’m gonna be a huge bitch to te next person who replies to it. Fuck everyone.

[zatanna-against-hate]

I don’t even get what this is supposed to mean? Is it supposed to be a joke or something?

Autist prolife? Whyd you say the same wird twice

🥱
