Controversial opinion but we need to apply anti-cringe culture shit to "edgy" art too. Like songs/poems/art/etc are not bad just because they're angry or sad or otherwise emotional and they're not bad for dark and violent. So much "edgy" stuff is just explorations of dark topics and/or mentally ill people working through shit via art.

Cringe culture isn't just bad when it's applied to positive expressions of emotion, it's also bad when applied to the angry and sad shit too. Let people be angry and sad in their art. It's fine.

Has this been done?

Is this correct?

If we interacted for the first time today via boops and are unlikely to run into each other again because we don't have the same fandom niches I just want you to know our boop bond is real and if I ever see you randomly come across my dash I'll think to myself "aww my boop bud" and send you warm thoughts and good vibes

So this is what would happen if I could click kudos more than once

I believe authors should be cryptic and unhelpful in the interpretation of their own work or even act like they’re dead and never comment on it ever

If you want to write a dumb little story with a dumb little plot and ridiculously silly characters. No one's stopping you. Genuinely, no one should be allowed to stop you. Write that dumb story with your whole heart and don't hold back.

To YOU it’s bad writing. To ME it’s a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also it’s bad writing

There is no live action adaptations of Avatar: The Last Airbender…

In trying to make ATLA "less sexist" they just ran in a circle right back into sexism. They made Suki seem boy crazy instead of giving both her and sokka a good storyline. Same thing with June and Iroh, what was the point of switching it from Iroh flirting and June hating it to June flirting and Iroh not caring??? It's just so Women Written By Men™.

like the way they made katara have no urgency genuinely makes me so incredibly angry. every time Aang taught her how to waterbend I had to pause the show and stop for a minute because katara I am so sorry for what they did to you.
