The most beautiful thing about Pokemon fandom is that the game gives us like 47 blorbos each release and by god we are going to ship them with one of the other 480 blorbos from prior games even if they have never had a lick of canon interaction. It is about the intrigue. The complimentary personalities. How much one wants to kill the other one with a rock, at times
honestly it seems really unfair that if you have a shitty childhood you have to deal with all these extra problems once you’re older. i think that you should get to have some kind of beam attack and a double jump instead
“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
y’all pls u this vid fucks so hard
Sir Ian McKellen shouts:
“Painted whores! Sexual gladiators! Fiercely old party children! Wake from their slumber to debut the bacchanal! Come into the light! Come into the light!”
This fucks IMPOSSIBLY hard
This absolutely fucks unbelievably inconceivably hard
pro-abortion. pro-divorce. i believe we have the god-given right to give up
when people go after no-fault divorce or abortion what they're really doing is trying to enshrine the sunk cost fallacy into law
it sounds like a joke but this is a genuine political belief of mine. you should be able to leave a situation you don't like. the government has no business trapping you in a relationship.
quitters rights!
"violent games don't romanticize the subject matter!"
my sibling in christ i think you have the wrong idea of what "romanticizing" means
it means to portray something in a more idealized, exciting or sentimental manner. basically what all fiction does, ESPECIALLY VIOLENT GAMES. your actions are portrayed as cool, heroic, powerful, skillful. you're rewarded for doing fictional harm. those types of game do indeed idealize war or general conflict.
i don't hear a peep of complaint about war games "romanticizing something traumatizing" (WHICH IT LITERALLY IS. VETERANS SUFFER FROM SEVERE PTSD BRO). but they do indeed do that, actually. it's escapism.
romanticization is not just about writing a relationship that would be bad irl as cute or wholesome. romanticization is a key characteristic of most fiction. it's hard to find any piece of fiction that doesn't romanticize something. whether it be a slice of life book, a war game, or an incest fanfic. romanticization is not the 'this is bad' word you think it is.
we already know that there's no causal link between violent video games and real-world violence. and yet.. they romanticize violence.
fictional content that deals with more taboo subject matter isn't any different. it won't change your moral compass any more than a war game. most people can separate an enemy killed in a war game from a real casualty of war. this isn't to say you have to be okay with all fiction personally. you can just. not enjoy a piece of fiction.
saying this as nicely as possible, some people need to grow up.
a pattern i notice is
person : hey i used to be a bigot/abuser but i made active efforts to be a better person and i'm now not that person anymore
comments : ok do you want a pat on the back for the bare fucking minimum. fuck you. evil irredeemable person
like you realize that people can be raised into harmful ideologies and not question them until later in life and that it takes introspection and active efforts to understand your harmful actions and make change to your behavior right
it may be the bare minimum for civil behaviour, but actually getting yourself out of harmful mindsets is fucking hard. stop pretending it isn't. you are not immune to propaganda. you're not infallible.
can we stop demonizing the people who did what their abusers refused to do.
even if its later in life.
no that doesn't mean no consequences for past actions but damn, y'all don't seem to want people to get better. You want "perfect" victims and honestly I'm tired of it.
Also no they're not saying it cuz they want a pat on the back , they're saying 'hey my story is evidence that it is possible to make these changes.'
Don't punish the behavior you want to see
