the "cute creature is actually devil incarnate" trope was funny like, what, the first five times? It's SO. DAMN. OVERUSED. it's a fun concept, but I hate having it appear so many times.
an example of this I absolutely hate is Iscream from Chikn Nuggit. "ooo it's a cute bunny but oh no it's actually the devil" WOW! HOW ORIGINAL!
I'm bad at explaining my hate towards something, I hope I made sense
This entire subreddit is for the most hateful people you can think of gathering to dehumanize Women, LGBT, Muslims, Jews, Black people and just about everyone that is not a white Christian/Atheist.
Every single day you have multiple of these posts being spammed, and it is filled with thousands of comments that demonstrate full support. Something needs to be done.
Now before anyone starts flaming me; invalid criticism that is just misogynistic at heart is not in this conversation. But I’m talking about people who hate female characters for valid reasons or reasons that at the end of the day aren’t misogynist
Let me hit yall with an example with MJ (Spiderman 2018)
A misogynist opinion would be: “MJ is doing too much as a woman she needs to stay in her place
Bad opinion that isn’t misogynistic: “I hate MJ because I hate stealth :(“
A decent opinion: “I dislike MJ because she expects too much trust out of Spiderman for the dangerous stuff she’s doing that could get her, or anyone in that situation that isn’t superhuman, killed”
I hate the people that see ALL 3 as misogynist because they’re hating on a female character. No matter the reason. It ruins the word “misogynist” and all it stands for by using it every which way
so many people I've seen act like a space not catered or welcoming to them because it does not involve them is somehow equivalent to the discrimination minorities receive. like imagine your a Gardner and you join a scuba club and then get mad that no one wants to hear about your gardening and your negative views of scuba diving sounds insane right? but yet i see so many people go into poc queer trans etc etc spaces and get upset when those spaces don't want an outsiders often negative input. its a complete socially maladjusted thing to do and reeks of entitlement.
I use reddit and join subs to look at cool stuff that interests me. Art, music, cats, etc.
However, Reddit INSISTS on showing me stuff that I avoid on purpose. Ragebait, AI stuff, people complaining about stupid things (yes, I recognise the irony.)
I just wanna look at cool drawings, listen to weird music, and laugh at funny cats man.
Obviously it's farming off someone else's content, but the worst part is having to look at Xavier's stupid fucking moustache, or contemplate what the fuck a Memezar is. I don't want to know how much it cost to buy the memes Twitter handle either.
Dude no, you don’t need your teeth to be shining white in order to be called “healthy”.
Teeth is naturally yellowing and is also a sign of good and healthy teeth so I don’t know where people got that idea that white means your teeth is healthy while any other color means you have bad hygiene.
I LOVE trams. They are by far the superior rapid transit method they:
- can have high capacity
- can be retrofit into roads with relative ease
- their infrastructure is not obstructive to cars OR pedestrians OR bikes
- can be used as streetcars, fast shuttles, or light rail
- make little noise compared to other transport
- are better to the environment than other transport
-Look really cool
WHY DO WE HARDLY USE TRAMS ANYMORE. GIVE US TRAMS BACK
no hate to the real guy btw
Like what the hell do you mean this guy uses AI to make unfunny versions of other gifs then uses his 70 alternative accounts to mass report other gifs so his is the only gif that stays, genuine loser actions, unrelated but what's with all the posts here defending ai? 😭
Mickey is a fictional character who is a nice friendly dude. I grew up on Mickey Mouse and thought he was a nice person.
BUT DAMN EVERY SINGLE DAMN VIDEO I SEE HATING ON DISNEY MAKES HIM SEEM DEMONIC AND LOVE these practices which he does NOT.
Mickey would (probably) hate Disney and how they treat they're employees.
This annoys me so fucking much, I get people like certain things but one thing I always see in common with mfs who make characters like this is they always say some shit like “She’s sooo scary and nobody would ever be attracted because she’s soo scary and spooky” bro genuinely SHUT UP
You can’t just make a character with a lot of conventionally attractive features and give them a spooky face and act like it’s the pinnacle of horror
the fans are (almost) always insufferable, they’re unoriginal, they’re corny as all hell..and over all, it just seems lazy. like..ah, yes, i have no other ideas so lets make a show about objects fighting for a prize/trophy/whatever. and don’t even get me started on the people simping for the characters. that is a COIN, dude..
listen, there are some situations where you can indeed just turn off your device, like when its just some dude in a game talking shit to you, or just somebody online on a discord server or something saying some degrading things to you, sure, some people might stay near that shitty person because they wanna one-up them someday and not feel like they lost by walking away, but at that point its still fine to just block em or leave the server
the issue is that, true cyberbullying isn't just people calling you names or saying that they banged your mom or something, its not something you can just walk away, they can have some dirt on you like knowing bad things you did, or having embarassing pictures of you, or they know you in real life and use the internet as an extension of the bullying they already to do you in the real world
its not something so simple that you're just trapped by hollow handcuffs, people who say that have never actually been severely cyberbullied before, they just got called some bypassed insults on fucking Roblox or something and act like they got genuinely cyberbullied
same thing for toxic online relationships, when you're in one for long enough, you pretty much already told them a good chunk of your personal life, and you can't just walk away if they threaten to leak your most private secrets, or sometimes they even know where you live if you've discussed meeting up in real life someday
so it gets real fuckin annoying when somebody posts a video of themselves crying for being cyberbullied and people post this fuckass image in the comments thinking they're so tough and smug, they never got bullied in their lives, heck, by the way they behave they're most likely the one doing the bullying
anyways this is just my opinion, feel free to disagree, i'm out
I absolutely despise this image that gets posted around I see on countless subs. First of all 99% of the time the characters people think are “confirmed to be straight” aren’t actually confirmed to be straight! It’s actually pretty rare for characters to have stated sexualities in media up until recently, and even then it’s not common. Under this kind of reasoning they’re just kind of subconsciously saying “het and cis” is the default, which you know, problematic on its own. Even when people bring up “evidence” a character is straight, it’s just them being attracted to the opposite sex…. Which like…. Bi, pan, etc people exist. Sexuality is a spectrum, not a binary. Secondly, even if a character is confirmed to be straight….. why do you care if they’re depicted as queer in fan works? Genuinely just let people have fun.
And like thirdly, I hate how these kinds of images have endless posts on endless subs, I’m tired of these engagement bait agonizing posts, “post your favorite character who” and like a billion other people already asked the same question.
Gender wars in the big 26 is stupid in general, it's such a lazy anti intellectual way of arguing too instead of focusing on the argument or making a fair criticism it's just "haha pick me" "haha simp" you simply can't respond to that argument without getting in their level
(DO NOT hate the artist or anyone else, this is just an example. it looks fine on its own)
I don't get why its a thing. I genuinely dont. every story in animation is forced to have a human protagonist now, for some reason, despite the fact it got its start using talking animals. Fuck, even wreck it ralph was gonna have him be a bull monster but some exec was like noooOOOOO kids can only relate to humans (complete lie btw, i thought his final design was kind of weird as a kid.)
Before anyone pulls out the race or whatever card, i hate it even if it isnt a white twink.
the characters just look boring when they're humanized. they dont need to be. why would you look at something unique and then decide it has to be like everything else?
animal character designs can go hard as fuck, or at least be cute and charming. to me at least when they're made human they just look boring
Used to have some actual fun content, now its all just the same 6 creators doing "I HATE AIIIII (bonus porn on my paid patreon btw)"
Or a certain Italian dish pastry that is guarded by all critism from the moderators, who then just simply posts "its tough being an online creator :/" on repeat or "heres a screaming raging white guy, while my OC is smug and saying racists are bad"
Like these are all the coldest fucking takes imaginable and its cycled through on repeat daily about how "me good, opposite bad, fuck AI, (Bonus paid porn *wink*)
Recently the MCU has started to try to make their universe the 616 when for years now its been designated as Earth 1999999 since the official handbook. It started in Far From Home but that eas clearly a wink and a nod to the audience but it gets the title of 616 officially in Multiverse of Madness which doesnt work imo since the comics is 616. I like how Spiderverse keeps it as Earth 1999999 though and hope it sticks to that label
I heard someone say today: "A character is confirmed straight just because they flirted with a girl." That’s a fair point, but the reverse happens too.
A man flirts with another man, and suddenly everyone swears he’s gay. But what if he’s bisexual or pansexual? No one considers those guys, and they get left out.
Got nothing against Benny but this is fucking wild, this is a minstrel show character in an album where he’s appropriating and using a culture that is not his (His real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin) he’s not Latino and marrying Selena Gomez does not make him Latino either lmao.
Am I the only one who finds this shit really off putting?
