@fandomluver-101
Yeah, I'm just gonna be blocking @mantistheflowerchild because I am actually getting sick of these scams. Someone edited that and I don't know what the goal is, but I am not in the mood. Be careful and if this account was hacked, be mindful.
I feel like that girl that said Omoi was her fav was just trying to be different. Of all characters to claim and she picks him?
If people can claim Shisui as their favorite character despite him being a plot device and means to retcon Itachi into a heroic character, Omoi can be someone's favorite character. Most people like characters because of their design or style or voice actor.
My favorite non-Uchiha character is Kaiza, someone we never got to meet outside of a few flashbacks (and the person that bridge should've been named after because I'm sorry, Naruto did not deserve that honor more than Kaiza).
Male dominated fandoms have this nasty habit of attacking any woman that goes against what they deem the norm. Had that been a man saying Omoi was his favorite, there would have never been discourse to begin with.
In short, shut the fuck up.
Do not put "I don't support the artist I just like the song" anywhere in your posts while PROMOTING THE FUCKING ARTIST!
Nonstop on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and so on, how many videos are going to say that while using said artist's music! Just use the song and shut up because you ARE supporting the artist.
Not gonna lie, the way they cut Melanie off with a text was infuriating 😂🫠
When you distrust someone's credibility when they admit they've have five supposedly horrid roommates because that is a pattern, you get told that's wrong. Even though the woman's video is legit her seeking sympathy while minimizing her behavior and maximizing the behavior of others, a tactic I have called out and cut off many friends for.
Before the FIRST video of SEVENTEEN (at the time - it's now THIRTY), I said I do not trust a word this woman was saying and my friends told me I'm reaching? Even though she has multiple videos about other roommates making the same claims about them being abusive, having superiority complexes, telling her what she can and can't do (mind you, SHE moved in to THEIR PLACE and is encroaching IN THEIR PRIVATE SPACES).
EK legit had no credibility BEFORE WE REACHED THIS POINT. Seventeen videos, seventeen fucking videos - it took ONE response video to prove my point when no, it should've been obvious from the jump that this woman was the problem.
A bad roommate or two is just a fact of life, I accept that as a fact because people suck. But five, six, seven horrible roommates that all kick YOU out for THE SAME REASONS and somehow YOU aren't the problem? YOU aren't the narcissist?
I'm annoyed as hell right now. EK, Emily Dukes, over here wanting to present herself as soft and empathetic and long-suffering - calls her roommate wanting to speak in person as a "fuck-ass heart to heart" and people were DEFENDING HER BULLSHIT. She has done nothing but make bad decisions (moving to an expensive state with no plan, unemployed, and making a gofundme for her rent), shown her ass on several occasions but "no, she's a victim."
No the fuck she isn't, not in this situation, she has caused her poor situation and SHE IS THE ROOMMATE FROM HELL! SHE ALWAYS WAS!
Going to serve my username and point out the hypocrisy over how everyone loses their shit over Orochimaru but not the other characters:
"Unethical human experiments"
Tobirama did it too. Only he knows what kind of atrocities was required for the invention of edo tensei.
"Killed so many innocent people"
No shit captain obvious, last I checked the five big villages bulldozed entire smaller "weak" villages to the ground during wars, civilians and all. Don't trust me? just ask Nagato and co
"He manipulated and abused kids!"
As if konoha doesn't send scores of children into forests with deadly wild animals every year even during peace time as examinations. As if the entire system isn't built of forcing children into ultranationalist ideologies, raising them as child soldiers.
Yes, Orochimaru should've been sealed away in that blade away forever as retribution for his wrongdoings, but are we seriously going to traipse around acting like his actions were unique to him? That he wasn't quite literally raised in environments normalising such horrific acts?
Can people just acknowledge that Orochimaru turned out the way he did because he grew up in an environment where everything he did was NORMALIZED? That he himself was a manipulated and abused kid before he became an manipulative and abusive adult in a system that REWARDS those type of adults?
Because at the end of the day, Orochimaru did nothing wrong beyond not being Hiruzen's favorite and getting caught. Human experimentation's only line in the Naruto universe is not using your own villagers and even THAT is a "well, if they're already outcasts, it's okay" type of "line." Had he the level of favor Danzo or Tsunade or Jiraiya had, Orochimaru would've been right there in the village continuing on with everything he was doing with the tagline of "he's doing it for the village."
Two things can be true at the same time. Orochimaru is a monster. Orochimaru is one of my favorite characters. Like, why do people get to like Pain AND do their best to minimize the crap he has done and NOT be dragged for that but the moment someone claims they like Orochimaru while acknowledging he was a horrible person that did horrible things and there's a problem?
I adore David Martinez, but I really need people to stop hyping him as "built different" and "special" because no, he's the average gangoon cyberjunkie encounter in most sessions of Cyberpunk RED/2020 (and for game only people, he's a cyberpsycho miniboss).
What makes him "special" and "legendary" TO US is that we get to see his story and connect with him, but make no mistake, David is one of billions of nobodies in the world of Cyberpunk and Night City and so few people know about him or his story and frankly, the people that do know his story wouldn't deem him a legend in universe unless they personally cared about him.
The easter eggs of his existence patched into Cyberpunk 2077 are for US, for people that watched and fell in love with his character. You cannot compare David to any variation of V or to Adam Smasher or Morgan Blackhand - he is not on par with them and that is fine, but actively deluding yourself into believing this and getting mad at fans of the greater franchise of the Cyberpunk TTRPG for telling you that is not okay.
A reminder that "Black fatigue" is one of many co-opted terms within Black culture and academics that does not mean "I'm tired of Black people."
It means "being Black causes me mental stress due to how society treats me for being Black." Coined in 2020 by a Black woman and scholar, not by the White supremacists and tap-dancing Blacks that use it to be racist against the very people they took the phrase from.
It is a tale as old as time, every phrase, every term, every trend, every aspect of our being gets taken from us and used against us.
We as a race can't even exist without our features being criticized, but when some White girl gets surgery to get our natural figure and wears our protective hairstyles, she's "curvy, trim, and edgy" while we remain "fat, masculine, and ghetto."
Black people, Black women specifically, do not, and frankly should not, stand by anyone outside of ourselves. Do not come in my asks with anything regarding the boycott while thinly masking your racism because fuck you, I've never supported any of the Asian-owned businesses in my area BECAUSE THEY'RE RACIST! The beauty supply shop, the nail salons, the restaurants, every single of one of them in my area has been on fuck shit since I was a CHILD and they shut down years ago because no one in my community was going to support that shit.
Do some fucking research, look at how often Blacks have stood behind every minority only to not get even a fraction of that support when we need it, being told to move on, that we're overreacting, that "see, this is why I get Black fatigue." Non-Blacks are quick to take an issue with us even when we don't do shit to them, minding our own business isn't an option, but it damn sure is for everyone else.
Here’s the theory, Ursa and Ozai are both narcissists who played favorites with the child that best suited their egos.
Ursa wasn’t a perfect mother, and she was also in an abusive marriage — both truths can coexist.
I have a very hard time liking Ursa, not because she left, can't fault her for that nor the stupidity of her assassination of Azulon (yes, it was stupid).
My main issue with her is solely about her making Ozai think Zuko was not his son. Because aside from Zuko "lacking," damn near all of Ozai's hostility towards and resentment of Zuko came from Ursa PURPOSEFULLY making Ozai think Zuko was not his in an idiotic attempt to figure out if her letters home were being intercepted and even with the claim that he knew she was lying, even a HINT of infidelity is STUPID in her position!
In what world would a nobleman, let alone a PRINCE, NOT REACT THE WAY OZAI DOES!? Men who care only for LINEAGE and BLOODLINES, men who value that above damn near all else because that is what they are raised to value, that is where their power ultimately comes from, Ursa was forced into marriage BECAUSE OF HER BLOODLINE and she KNEW.
Then she proceeds to do something that makes me hate most parents - favors one child ans neglects the other. Yes, I know the story emphasizes it was to keep Ozai's worst off of Azula and to protect Zuko (from the situation SHE CAUSED). Azula was not always a bad person and let's be honest, had Ursa been as involved with Azula as she was with Zuko or even made an effort to hide her dislike of Azula (because no, Ursa did show a level of dislike whenever she interacted with Azula because she saw Ozai in her - which happened because you as her mother were neglecting her and leaving her with only Ozai as an influence), the girl might not have been so far gone.
Ursa and her bullshit made a bad situation WORSE and I genuinely do not like her as a character because of that. Yes, I sympathize with her, her lot in life sucked too - but in what world do you lie about parentage of your child and not expect a bad reaction? Even a man from her village would react poorly or outright kill the kid AND HER, it is a tale as old as time even when the woman did not cheat.
Say I'm victim blaming all you want, but Ursa did contribute to a lot of the shit that happened with both Zuko AND Azula and could have easily killed her POS husband. I do not like how the fandom and the story itself gives Ursa so much grace and understanding when she's contributed so much to her children's suffering and then wiped her memory and enjoyed a whole new life while they BOTH suffered (because even Azula was a victim and well aware that one fuck up meant she'd be treated like Zuko).
The live action Avatar writers do not understand any of the characters and my proof is the clip of Zuko stealing water and food from a pregnant woman and her husband.
Yes, ZUKO.
Yes, the SAME SCENE from the original cartoon.
Legit just spit on Zuko, his character, and his HONOR and for what reason?
I know none of them actually watched the show because to actively ruin one of the best written characters in the show is insane.
One of the biggest problems in Attack on Titan is that, even though Isayama clearly wanted to criticize racism and discrimination, he built that message on a world where race is treated as something biological instead of social. The Eldians aren’t just a group that other nations hate for political or cultural reasons—they are written as a genetically different people with special abilities tied to their blood. This creates an uncomfortable contradiction: the story says racism is wrong, but the worldbuilding reinforces the idea that certain “races” really are biologically distinct in ways that justify fear or control. That makes the metaphor weaker and sometimes even harmful. In real life, racism is built on made‑up categories, not biological differences. But in AOT, the world treats Eldians differently because they actually are different on a biological level. That’s the opposite of what a good anti‑racism metaphor should do.
Also, I know that Eldians need spinal fluid in order to become Titans, but I can totally see Marley intentionally keeping this detail as vague as possible because revealing external factors for Titan shifting would weaken the grasp they have on the Eldians if the world knew that spinal fluid (which is hard to get and very niche) was needed
Nothing to add because I feel like you've explained my own issues with the concept better than I can. There's also just a bunch of mishandling when it comes to topics of xenophobia, race, and so forth. It felt less "different race" and more "different species" and blurred a lot of lines the further along the story went.
Honestly, I never took it as a race metaphor the first time I watched/read specifically because it crossed into "species" too often when we were learning more about the Eldians.
Fanfics that portray Sasuke as this haughty gloryhound genuinely piss me off because no, of the main characters he is legit the only one aware of his limits, it's a whole thing in the forest of death! Naruto is the idiot that is adamant about staying and fighting for the sake of it, stop dragging Sasuke to uplift Naruto's dumbass or use the OOC tag because no, Naruto is never going to retreat while Sasuke pushes to fight and prove his "power."
Just saw a vid of an idiot say "Sasuke was larping Loneliness" WTF oh all girls loved him, oh everyone thought he was strong if I was him I would repopulate whole uchiha clan in a few years. STFU SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. Imagine saying that shit to a genocide victim who had to watch every single one of his people getting killed my his older brother he absolutly adored. He watch them all die in a coma where Itachi made him watch. And you say this guy had nothing to complain about. Like Itachi made him that way, Itachi made him obsessed with power. You all drive me crazy
HE IS A GENOCIDE VİCTİM
Never mind all the "attention" he got was based solely on him being physically attractive and "so cool" with said "coolness" being TRAUMA FROM SURVIVING A GENOCIDE
Girls adore him because they view him as a literal OBJECT, Sasuke is not a person to them and I do not get how anyone could say Sasuke isn't lonely when no one made any effort to reach out to him beyond superficial bullshit
Edit - and when all that attention made everyone else his age hate or avoid him. Absolute bullshit
People that bitch about Sasuke leaving Konoha piss me off because they adore characters like Jiraiya and Tsunade, two other characters that abandoned Konoha without any consequences.
Jiraiya not only ditched in the middle of a mission during a war, he also trained the children of Konoha's ENEMIES.
And Tsunade ALSO ditched during a war, by the way, and took Shizune with her. By our standards, good - within the world of Naruto, she pretty much deserted and took a war assest with her (because there's a reason literal children as young as 5, 8, and 9 were becoming genin and chunin, Konoha needed soldiers to fight).
The only difference between them and Sasuke is that Sasuke wasn't the favorite of a hokage that would ignore his actions. Oh, Sasuke is so awful, he betrayed the village - so did Jiraiya, so did Tsunade, so did Hiruzen every time he turned a blind eye to Danzo, even Shikamaru, by the logic of Sasuke haters, betrayed the village when he prioritized revenge over all else.
Why would Sasuke marry a damyos daughter? I dont get how that would benefit the clan over bringing in a powerful kunoichi
Gonna start by saying Sakura is not powerful in the beginning and even when she gains some semblance of power, she is pathetic and useless. Partially because Kishimoto sucks at handling female characters decently and partially because Sakura's personality is that of a vain child pursuing a career solely to be near her crush.
Marrying her would not benefit Sasuke in any way, shape, or form. If anything, it would be a net negative. Is she bringing political power and influence? A dowry or any monetary wealth? Any social influence within the village? No, she's not, she's bringing legit nothing to the table, not even looks tbh because the Uchiha qualify as "otherworldly" in terms of beauty (AND power with even Itachi, who had abysmal chakra compared to the greats of his clan, being an S rank missing nin as a child).
However, marrying a Daimyo's daughter would be a MAJOR benefit and, imo, solve a lot of the problems the Uchiha were dealing with. Even the engagement period would be a major benefit because even a lazy noble would want to ensure their reputation was as great as possible.
One, it is the Daimyo that controls the village at the end of the day, NOT the Hokage. The Daimyo has final say on who is Hokage and I have no doubt that the fickle nature of even the Fire Daimyo would not be swayed from Fugaku if Sasuke was engaged to or about to be engaged to a daughter or granddaughter.
Two, having the favor of and connections to a Daimyo would force the Hokage and Konoha as a whole to treat the Uchiha with more respect. They would be forced to grant them more political power and influence, forced to give the police better funding, so on and so forth. Remember, the Daimyo of a land could financially wipe out a village (case in point, Suna was suffering financially because their Daimyo was outsourcing everything to Konoha AND cutting their funding frequently).
Three, marrying noble blood gives the Uchiha clan upward mobility. Not just becoming Hokage and making it a hereditary title within the clan (which is exactly what would happen with the favor of their Daimyo), but also the ability and potential support of the Fire Daimyo to take Land of Fire adjacent land for themselves and become Daimyo.
Which would happen (Uchiha becoming Hokage), by the way, because the Daimyo would definitely want his daughter marrying the best of the best - Hokage is deemed this within Konoha and so Fugaku would've been made Hokage and Sasuke after him.
AND because an Uchiha is an Uchiha, the Daimyo would give whatever to have claim to them with blood relations via grandchildren AND intermarriages. Being able to claim your bloodline has Sharingan potential?
Definitely opens up a number of other issues, though I'm pretry sure the Uchihas would ensure anyone that activates the Sharingan marries back into the clan or takes on the clan name - which, either way, is still a benefit to the Daimyo who can claim HIS blood has Sharingan.
Marrying a Daimyo's daughter would be such a huge boon. Lowkey wanna write fanfic about it lol.
Orochimaru is such an odd character because all of his childhood flashbacks do NOT paint him as this inherently "twisted" character at all and it makes him all the more terrifying as a villain.
And then Boruto happens and it feels like he gets ruined as a villain considering Orochimaru was, in my opinion, one of the most terrifying villains. Not just because he was creepy in imagery and goals, but because the pursuit of immortality through science has always made my skin crawl and yet I understand so much of his mindset of figuring out how something works and recreating it (the foundation of science) and why immortality is necessary for that goal.
Which is just terrifying as hell. Orochimaru isn't doing half of what he does for POWER, he just wants to know all there is to know, meaning he would never be satisfied and would continue to be this terrifying being lurking about with every advancement someone makes.
Also, the anime definitely makes him far more heinous than he is in the manga. Still a monster, but there's a bunch of things Orochimaru wasn't a factor in (such as the 8 tails incident). I like manga Orochimaru and most of my above talk is about the manga (because before anyone comes with some "um, actually" argument about Orochimaru's goals).
