well,

[acreaturecalledgreed]

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.

This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.

I’ve touched on this before but given that this is an early 2000s Corocoro manga and subsequent anime we can pretty much safely conclude that the author and every other writer involved is just passively assuming Bucketman to be male. However they did introduce them in Charge with “nothing is known abt them not even their gender??” and they failed to account for the transgender asshole watching it 20 years later to take them deadly seriously. Also being so real there is simply no way in hell Buckets gives a shit either way this thing is a bucket. This will not affect their dueling

[clannfearrunt]

Bucketman’s gender is whatever their girlfriend wants it to be probably

[clannfearrunt]

“Duelist” is a gender. Yay ✌️

I refuse to reblog callout posts because I'm a prison abolitionist

[kalichnikov]

In all my years in this website, and I've been here a long time, I can't recall a single instance of a callout post leading to actual restitution for the victims of the alleged harm the person was accused of. Even in cases where the accusations were true. Even in cases where there was legitimate harm done to another person.

Remember the sixpencee child slave thing? What happened there, exactly? Was the kid freed? No? They were just run off the website? OK so what good exactly did that do?

Remember the bone stealing witch? What exactly did that witchhunt accomplish? The person got arrested, oh that's great, the american justice system surely rectified the situation

And again, those are instances where the accusations were true and involved real substantive harm to another person. We used to joke on here how callout posts were shit like "receipts below: [several paragraphs of petty fandom drama] [three paragraphs of petty interpersonal drama involving cheating on partners or stealing food out of the fridge or something] [fabricated evidence that the person is responsible for the murder of JonBenét Ramsey]"

And that was back in the 2010s. The meta has changed. Callouts used to be a tool people used to point out actual harm a person had done, rarely, and more commonly were used as a means of bullying somebody over petty drama. Nowadays they're used to manufacture outrage and harassment against marginalized populations. They are a weapon bigots use to turn us against each other. A few manufactured accusations here, some out of context or clipped screenshots there, and people who should be standing in solidarity with each other against white supremacy, patriarchy, cisheteronormativity, are instead devouring each other.

It's sinister as shit, dude, and people will still share these accusations without a second thought. So, why? What is the point? What's the best case scenario here? Raising "awareness?" what the fuck is that supposed to accomplish? Will we get the oh-so-trustworthy authorities involved? Are we hoping for an arrest? A conviction? Throwing a queer or poc person in prison so they can be abused and assaulted and humiliated behind bars? Is that who we are?

Callouts and the like don't serve any real good in the world. At a macro scale they divide us when we should be standing together, and at a micro scale they result in deeply traumatic never-ending harassment and threats and doxxing and worse to a person who almost definitely does not deserve it. And again, for what? A sense of "justice?" this is not justice. This is retribution. It is punishment.

It's fucking cop behavior, and I'm not gonna participate in it.

Can’t believe my job makes me do my job on the days I am scheduled to work my job what the fuck

[clannfearrunt]

The real reason I need one billion per cent more animated screentime for Bucketman is that its really fun and satisfying whenever something hits or taps their head and they add a hollow metal thunk sfx. And I need more scenes of Bucketman hollow metal thunk sfx. Like maybe if they tumble down a set of stairs really really loudly

[clannfearrunt]

cross sucks so badly

[clannfearrunt]

it is simply not possible to know anything about Yuu Fua including what her color palette is supposed to be

they rewrote the scene where Yuu and Bucketman meet for the first time and for some bizarre reason they made her waterboard them as her first action

i DID laugh. sorry Buckets

[clannfearrunt]

I was like. Ok why am I putting this off it must be the adhd task weirdness I gotta just do it. And then this morning I figured out what I had been mentally stuck on and it was “how do I increase water retention in this thing” and chat I have chosen the worst pot for the climate I am in

[clannfearrunt]

I have watered this thing twice so far and immediately my thought is that the silverleafs underneath better be enjoying the additional secondhand shower of water it’s gonna get every time I water the strawbbies. My second thought is ohhhhh the wind is gonna dry this thing out so baddd

"i think", i say, about my own ocs, who i made,

[rosexknight]

“my headcanon is…” i say about the canon that i made about my own characters

[enigmaticpink]

I firmly believe what ever you’re obsessed with at 11/12 years old becomes a core part of who you are, regardless if you lose interest in it or not. Maybe some of you were lucky and were obsessed with warrior cats or smth, and if you’re real unlucky it was probably twilight.

[clannfearrunt]

i miss yuu fua i wish it was possible to see yuu fua

[clannfearrunt]

duelist (derogatory)

[clannfearrunt]

ok also duelmasters cross sucks because they made Yuu and Buckets "friends" like they keep really hammering home They Are Friends. oh I see I see y'all are. Friends? Duelists?

You two are Good Friends?

[clannfearrunt]

ok I shouldnt have even called them Duelists bc the other weird thing cross is doing is instead of the word "duel" they are saying "duema" as in abbreviation of Duel Masters. Every instance of "duel". It's no longer time to duel. They exploded brainwashed!Yuu's iconic phrases bc she can no longer call people duelists
