Happy pride month

Phil would’ve looked so cute in the original YouTube anniversary jacket. giving him the black jacket felt like an insult. Like do u think only US YouTubers are important? Wtf YouTube. Why didn’t they do international thing for their 20 th anniversary? Do they not understand how important YouTube is for us

[lost-in-the-lonely]

I know that it's all fun and haha about Dan and Phil and their sponsorships, but HelloFresh has been in the news many times, and not good things... like investigations over migrant child labor, misleading customers and making it hard to cancel subscriptions, and their workers unionizing because of horrible work conditions...

I am genuinely disappointed about this.

I know "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" and all that, but they can do better. Creators that are this big need to do better.

I’m going to die on this hill that I loved the new dnp video and I’m going to watch it several more times to heal my depression

But also, I hope the next vid is poppy playtime.

Missing DanandPhilGames

very happy with whatever Dan and Phil are doing but I am starving for some games. Their gaming videos are my comfort videos. But I still haven’t forgotten the hiatus so I’m glad they are enjoying making videos and also have a patreon for stable income.

this is just wishful thinking but I really want dnp to play the game about digging a hole. I feel like that game was made for them.

straight men fear gay men because they are afraid gay men will treat them the same way they treat women. And that’s the feeling I got from the snl heated rivalry parody.

[ash-the-wise]

No I don’t know shit about SNL. But what I do know is that you’re allowed to feel uncomfortable when queer stories get reduced to “women fetishizing men”, when female bodies are once again framed as grotesque shorthand for horror, and when there's a literal marital 🍇 joke. I don’t care if that’s “just the show’s humor.” It’s misogynistic. And we should stop pretending that recycling harmful stereotypes is okay just because it’s done with a laugh track. It has real consequences for people who already have to fight to be granted basic rights (and to fucking keep them, because they're conditional. Never forget that.)

They laughing not with you, they laughing AT you

They laughed at the queer characters, knowing full well that Noah is openly gay, and this scene was very difficult for him, which was naturally BAD for him (He literally spent 12 hours under stress). They laughed at women who are in unhappy marriages, not wanting s*x, but who are forced by their partner to have s*x in a relationship. They laughed at women who, while in a coma, are SA. They laughed at Harry Potter fans for being one of the most popular fanfiction fandom. They laughed at the heated rivalry, exposing the series as just p*rn for fans of mlm ships. They laughed at the Byler, exposing their delusion, comparing Mike and Will's relationship with Ron and Harry's. They laughed at the female genetalia, exposing the female body as disgusting and ugly. They laughed at the fans of mileven, who still believe that Jane is alive and laughed at her story and the fact that she cannot communicate properly because of her terrible life. They laughed at the fans who are still trying to believe in the best and turn the terrible ending into a mystery with a sequel.

They weren't laughing with you, they were laughing at you.

It feels like after the 25th we are all in hell, the gates to which the Duffer brothers and the entire cast opened with the ending, their answers and behavior. They have generated a flurry of homophobia and misogyny. They keep saying that the show is for outsiders and freaks, while because of their actions, fans are bullied daily, calling them freaks

I went through seven stages of grieve and finally accepted that kitty will not be in the next season of Girl from nowhere; and Becky will be the new Nanno. I hope she is not replacing kitty she is just a new character. And I still blame Netflix for everything.

[aosagi23]

I like that at a time where everyone on twitter is making compromised photos of women without their consent phannies are just greenifying everything. I do hope that place shuts down for good.

[aosagi23]

It’s all Netflix’s fault

I blame Netflix for byler not happening. I blame Netflix for making stranger things the shit show it became. What could have become one of the greatest tv series became a gradual trainwrack.

And now I will blame Netflix if anything bad happens to girl form nowhere. Because I do believe this season is going to be not as good as the last two. Well, already kitty may not be in the show. And no matter how much I like Becky no one can replace Nanno. My biggest fear is that season three will focus more on lore building and character relationships than the stories they will be telling, making the stories a plot device to do fanservice. It’ll be bad because the stories of injustice, discrimination, corruption and just bad things in this world that hurt people will be plot device to make lore and characters would just do what writers think audiences think is cool, liking laughing like a psychopath. I wholeheartedly wish I am wrong. But we’ll just have to wait till March I guess. I hope they don’t release this season in volumes. Or release one episode per month. And I hope the non gl or non queer fans don’t start being lesbiphobic because they casted Becky. I prediction this season is going to have bad writing and they are going to throw Becky under the bus.

[aosagi23]

Here’s my two cents; Will should have come out like Ellen did in that show in the nineties or two thousands, whenever it was. Like if you’re going to come out to the entire town there were better ways to do that. There are at least a few media references you could use from the past. Someone said Will could have just announced it on the radio, I think that would have been a better idea. But let’s be honest coming out to people who don’t even care about you is not the problem, the problem is that the scene was not powerful. It was not empowering.

[aosagi23]

So, I was really afraid the stranger things will turn into bbc Sherlock with byler ship. Some people were afraid that it will take the supernatural route. But no, it became even worst. People are now comparing it to game of thrones. And will's coming out scene, if I ever come out like that even in my dreams I would have just hanged myself. That epilogue boyfriend was not the worst part, it was the writers thinking gay people going to bars and getting hook ups is their ultimate ending. My guess is that they’ve tried their best to close the show in a way that it can be continued with a spin off. Like the walking dead series. Their animation doesn’t even have the eighty’s art style.

[aosagi23]

I saw some people say this on tumblr that everyone in the church thought Grace wearing revealing cloths and having a child out of wedlock were such a big sin; but not lying, shaming, hating and even killing yourself. All of these are bad things from their religious standard. Which shows their hypocrisy and desire to put people down using religion as an excuse.

which is correct, but the thing bothered me most is that when I first saw the movie I even thought the same. I felt what people thought Grace’s sin was, was actually more sinful than wicks, Martha’s and even her father’s wrongdoing. I subconsciously felt that because they are religious people all their selfishness, hate and wrongdoings and hypocrites can be looked past.

Religion has indoctrinated me so much and I am yet to break out from it completely. Even though I have left its hateful teachings a long ago. I guess that’s how all the church people gave so much grace to wick and his grandfather but none to grace. And juds empathy towards grace felt so foreign for Martha.

from all logical points, I can figure out why dressing in revealing clothes will be deserving of hate. I can’t figure out why other people will think so. Yet, that teaching is so indented in my mind that I feel like the hate and judgment are justified and empathy is stupid.

[aosagi23]

okay, so it’s only a few hours left for season five to come out. And my believe of byler happening is becoming directly proportional to the fear of this season turning into a supernatural finale type disappointment. Or the show doing a bbc Sherlock type shit. This is 2025 and they are in America; but we are also in dark times.

Stranger things season 5 release date

I just checked the release date for season five episodes. And wtf is that? Who thought it will be a good idea to release 4 episodes on one day then the next three a month later. Finally the last episode will be released a day before new year. Why not release it weekly? Why not release all the episodes together like the good old Netflix days? Why make it three volumes? Why have a month interval between episodes that belong to the same season? Why can’t they make shows like normal people? Why can’t they release episodes like normal people?

why not release it on October? Why not air it in a way that the last episode will be released on nov 6? It’s only eight episodes, eight hours.

[aosagi23]

byler has to be endgame

I haven’t watched stranger things after season 1 and I will only watch the rest of the show if byler is endgame. Otherwise I don’t want to go through the whole show just to be disappointed. I could let this go, but Will is now gay and his actor also came out. So there is some chance that byler could actually happen. I am more than just hopeful.
