i always feel so alienated when i see ppl talk abt the overrepresentation of tragedies within queer media and stuff bc while i do understand where ppl are coming from, i just enjoy consuming sad media in general lol so i cant truly relate to the frustration of not getting to see happy things.

and this isnt even me being critical of that argument bc i 100000% understand where it comes from, i 1000000% think its valid, studies have shown that queer people need positive representation to not feel so hopeless for their futures and stuff so like. i get it. i just like sad shit man! and i dont think we should stop having popular sad gay narratives altogether just bc of oversaturation.

i think its a hard convo to have bc we realize how rare the opportunity for mainstream gay media comes about and so i get that people don't want the "uber mainstream gay media" that happens twice a decade to be a tragic sad fest like they all are but i think maybe the answer is. we either need to change hollywood which is basically impossible OR we just like, stop looking to big hollywood studios for representation and start giving our money to independent studios who are making a lot of stories w queer ppl at the helm and stuff. because if we have a lot of different shows and films that involve queer people, then it wont matter if some of them are tragedies, and maybe then we can finally stop throwing groundbreaking queer media of our past under the bus and/or advocating for the death of queer tragedies when there are very much queers out there who love tragedies <- like me.

the mighty nein - critical role

this is a place where i don't feel alone. this is a place where i feel at home.

Also, I fully believe, w/ all my heart, that all the people in the Twitch and YouTube chats hating on Crown Keepers are the worst people to play D&D w/

Tbh a huge amount of the issues MHA has could have been fixed had Bakugo just been expelled from UA in the first season or not gotten in at all

Regarding Batman and Responsibility: A Rant

So, whenever there is talk about the age old question of "Should Batman kill Joker?" there is always, and I mean always someone who says something along the lines of: "But it's not Batman's responsibility to kill Joker so it's wrong to put the burden onto him." and on the surface this seems like a reasonable argument. After all, there is a police department in gotham, there is a government, so shouldn't we hold them accountable as well? Well, not exactly.

(Warning: I probably mispelled responsibility and responsible a LOT in this post, please don't begrudge me for it.)

Of course, those institutions ARE responsible for the Joker to some degree but the real question, to me, is: why is Batman considered as "NOT responsible" when he very much is.

People who make this argument usually say: "Well Batman is a volunteer, a vigilante! This is practically none of his bussiness." And true, Bruce isn't required to be a vigilante, he does it entirely out of his own volition. But is that not the whole reason why he IS responsible? I mean, Bruce is the one who CHOSE to take up that responsibilty, he is the one who CHOSES to shoulder that burden. In that sense he isn't that different from a government official/cop/etc. those people do it of their on will too don't they? Bruce, day after day, year after year, choses to fight for Gotham, to protect it and its people; he takes those responsibilities onto himself and yet... stopping Joker somehow, isn't one of them?

In my opinion, it is hypocritical. Bruce is the one who says things like "Gotham is MY city" or "I don't allow metas in Gotham, you need MY permission." or "You can't operate as a vigilante in Gotham without my say-so."(Stephanie Brown, anyone?) he routinely describes his vigilantism as a "war on crime"(which, yikes) and calls it a "crusade" and says it is his "mission" no? He chooses to do these things all on his own, no one forces him to. At a certain point, it's a matter of integrity. He can't pick and choose what exactly constitutes to protecting Gotham and what doesn't. He can't decide that beating up muggers in the streets is extremely important and is his job while improving Arkham isn't. He can't decide that, despite putting Joker in Arkham over and over again knowing he's going to escape, he isn't at least partly responsible for Joker's future victims. He can't keep stopping people from killing Joker(Under the Red Hood, hello!), saving Joker from the death row, putting Joker into a Lazarus Pit, or saving him from natural disasters(because you KNOW he would) and then claim "Oh, but killing Joker isn't my responsibility." He can't willingly claim responsibility for Gotham in every other scenario, EXCEPT for that. That's just having your cake and trying to eat it too. Unless he decided that by saving Joker he is not actually harming Gotham, by allowing Joker to live he is actively NEGLECTING his mission, his duty. And anyway, I thought the whole point of superhero comics was that people with power to better things shoud use those powers to do exactly that. Batman DOES have the power to "better" Gotham, he just isn't using it.

"Killing Joker isn't Batman's responsibility." No, it is. Because protecting Gotham and its people IS his responsibility, as he took it onto himself. If he didn't want to deal with the consequences of such a thing then he shouldn't have become a vigilante in the first place.

Mind you, this doesn't mean he's the ONLY one responsible, far from it, just that he is.

(I genuinely don't remember whether I made a post on this before but I have ranted about this to myself outloud when alone multiple times and if I have to think about this so do you)

[And YES we all know the real reason is because Joker is DC's cashcow, that is not the point of this post...]

i think everyone on sunnytwt needs to be sat down so i can explain to them what basic human empathy is. and then maybe i put them in a blender until they agree to write meta about the characters instead of whether or not charlie day got facial reconstruction surgery.

"my interpretation is more meaningful than yours" this "___ piece of media is objectively bad" that. yeah, well have you considered I'm having fun? 🤨 have you considered that I strive to be joyful rather than striving to prove the worth of my opinions? 🙄

i really dont like using my blog to vent or complain cause idk thats not what social media is about to me its just a space to be silly about the things i like. that being said. im just gonna do a mini vent in the tags abt smth that isnt even half as serious as im making it sound

“but also what does this have to do with JKR? did she retweet it?”

Yes she did (I wasn’t sure how to link a retweet, maybe you can only link the original post idk)

ohh perhaps. some otber ppl said to me that she did retweet that. at this point i’ve decided that im not defending any of these women from TRAs’ claims and i have come to realise i have gained literally nothing from radblr but wonderful harassment and doxxing and being demonised. even though i’ve done the best i could to push this place into being a place we could genuinely say takes racism and homophobia seriously, a place that isn’t actually just white feminism, all me attempting to do that has done was turn me into a target while the “anti-racist” ppl on radblr generally stayed quiet or expect me to be the one person to criticise racism despite me repeatedly saying that this makes me an easy target and makes it easier for the racists on here to just lie about me to dismiss my concerns.

even tho this is a “feminist space”, i’ve been repeatedly presented as: a drama queen, irrational, and hysterical. people had repeatedly tried to dismiss my sexuality and my concerns by bringing up my trauma or calling me “cluster B” (specifically referring often to BPD, a disorder where 75% are women & over 90% are traumatised). people have called me a cunt, slut, whore, and bitch. people sat there debating whether my appearance made me attractive or ugly. people have posted a picture of my mother from her facebook. people were organising sending anon hate to me on their discord servers.

i give up on the people here and i regret ever having believing that this place could be better than it is. not even the popular spokespeople for this movement are people i can stand by. on one end you’ve got polilezzes, on another you’ve got lesbophobic het women, on another you’ve got racist women, etc. how is female class consciousness meant to be built when even the faces of radical feminism in english-speaking spaces cant display solidarity for women of different backgrounds?

srry for ranting but -_- ive reached my limit. ive tried for nearly 6 years now and it seems fruitless. perhaps i was way too idealistic. even women like JKR have failed to do small things like stand by amber heard publicly, or recognise israel’s colonial history, or speak up against the polilesbianism (instead she just posed with polilezzes and supports them while pretending to support lesbians.. lol)

Personally of the belief that live action fans who go onto animanga posts uninvited like 'I DESPERATELY NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK THE ART STYLE IS UGLY EVEN THO THIS OPINION IS IRRELEVANT TO THE POST' should be hit with a big rock. We already moved past this ten years ago, get with it or get lost. Swallow the hunger inside of you that demands everything be palatable to you. Maybe you could stand to be a little uncomfortable for a while

ngl i don't get the desire for "fanfiction rewrites" for when the original author ends up being an awful person. like at that point i think you're better off just making your own fanfic entirely or ignoring it.

Bit of an opinionated rant but:

Idk why everyone is so upset over the Zelda timeline and the Zelda continuity or whatever. I like the huge spaghetti mess that is Zelda lore. I like that the developers don’t give a fuck about consistency. I’m glad it gives them the freedom to make whatever the fuck in their games.

Is it perfect? No. Could it be better? Of course!

But isn’t half the fun of being a Zelda theorist, playing with the puzzle pieces yourself? For me personally, it doesn’t matter if Nintendo never had this grand master plan of the Zelda lore. It means everyone can come to their own conclusions on the origin of the heroes or the magic or the different groups of people. And that’s kinda by design.

I try my best to keep things positive on here, but the hate comments for TLM '23 are ridiculous lol

women who wear makeup and shave and whatever can have valuable feminist insights & shouldn't be written off just bc the socialisation designed to make them enjoy opressive aspects of femininity worked, or because they're choosing to present themselves in a way that makes them comfortable & makes it easier to get by in the world, even if it's not a particularly feminist choice. but im gonna b honest the moment they start criticising trans ppl i stop listening. oh they're upholding gender? they're buying into the idea that women should/must look a certain way? they're choosing to present themselves in a way that makes them comfortable & makes it easier to get by in the world, even if it's not a particularly feminist choice? imagine that.

idk who needs to hear this (vaush) but being a skilled debater and being Good With Words does not make you correct.

friendly reminder that even if youre open about something on your blog, even if you think its so obviously right in your about/description/pinned/whatever, most of the people who will interact with you are not even looking that far at your blog. they dont know your name or your pronouns or your disabilities or your interests or your credentials or whatever you think is just *so obvious* that they *must* be intentionally ignoring it just to hurt you. ESPECIALLY not if theyre a random stranger who youve never interacted with once before, has never interacted with you once before either, and has absolutely zero reason to care about you. its not a personal attack, its just a fact. this is literally the internet
