bad takes on misha or ukraine in general that i recently saw in rtc fandom, mostly in fics

• “1920s au where misha is discriminated for being russian because ukraine wasn’t a thing yet” fun fact the ukrainian war of independence. that lasted from 1917 to 1921. was a thing. and so were people identifying as ukrainians even under occupation. for many fucking centuries.

• a fic where tamara was laid to rest in a funeral home in a city that was under russian occupation since 2014 (and also that is hundreds of km away from where she lived). yes it was explicitly stated that the fic was set in 2024

• misha violently not trusting the “western medicine”, and this being a reoccurring theme

• a ton of incorrect (russian) spellings. my eyes bleed evey time i see kiev, odessa and chernobyl. i give a pass for the last one cause literally noone knows the correct form, but the rest are so easy to google. (it’s kyiv, odesa, chornobyl)

• “she was one of the oldest mothers in the village.” the village being kyiv for some reason. the megapolis

• “misha predicted russia vs ukraine lol”, referring to a cut line where he wishes putin to eat a bag of dicks. do you guys know the war didn’t start in 2022?

• tons of comments about misha on a skit about a russian spy

i swear i’m not trying to be negative, and i did enjoy some of these fics! but i’ve also seen enough pf crap like this enough to make part two, three and twelve. educate yourself pls, guys, you don’t realise how harmful it all is
