How am I still straight

[howiluig]

If clark was white tumblr would be all over him

They'd be shipping him with Simon iron lung and ryland grace you know it

Unfortunately tumblr detests melanin except as an avenue through which to judge others

[howiluig]

No guys you don't get it I have to find someone to thirst over in every piece of media I watch this is really important my media literacy only works through white men and my headcanoned personalities for them I CANT POSSIBLY DIGEST A MOVIE AS A SET OF THEMES I GAVE TO USE IT AS AN AVENUE TO FIND HOT WHITE MEN

also the director is racist because the black guy is shown being mean

[neocores]

peeved that they he/himmed ryley in the pda in subnautica 2. whatever he can still be nonbinary because i am enlightened.

[howiluig]

would Alterra use Ryley's preferred pronouns? The space capitalists? Ryley is nothing to them beyond a figurehead for human expansionism and colonialism

I was talking about this with a friend but a really interesting cultural shift over the last ohhhhhh ten years maybe is that many people in fandoms view themselves as stakeholders and not audience members. Because of that, they think that the fandom should be running things, or at least have an acknowledged say in how something is run. And every reminder that they are not in control, no matter how small, bothers them.

Just finished reading the book.

Unfortunately spoiled myself on both the existence of the eridians and also the fact that grace wouldn't return to earth through a rogue Tumblr post that somehow got on my dash (probably through iron lung which I have followed)

God I love this book. I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ERIDIANS I NEED TO KNOW THEIR CULTURE

SON BOY

son boy how you've grown

a couple of chapters ago he was still reeling from the fact that Momo forgot about him, and he wasn't sure how to get that relationship back, how much of her memories she lost, and how different she might be now

and then they go on that "not date but really date" and they do their trademark bickering and then he realizes "oh, I know this person." she lost her memories but she didn't change, and I know and love this person so FUCK IT

my son surprisingly ripped boy

FUJIMOTO I SWEAR TO GOD DONT DO THIS TO ME

ANOTHER GOD DAMN CHAPTER WHERE LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING AT ONCE AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON

DID THAT HAPPEN. AM I GOING INSANE. IS FUJIMOTO DOING IT AGAIN. FUCK ME.

[howiluig]

its nice that the Hollow Knight community can finally have overbearing mentally online exhaustive discourse about how old two characters are and how fucked up it is to ship them just like every other tumblr fandom.

[howiluig]

The interesting thing about the soriel scene in chapter 4 is that by the community's reaction to it you can tell exactly how bad their childhood was.

I thought it was funny because sans deltarune is fucking my mom, which outside of the context of the rest of the chapter is objectively hilarious.

But it can also be seen in context as a traumatized teen who just went through one of the most exhausting days of their life and their mother hasn't even given a thought to them, which is rather heartbreaking.

This is easily the most controversial scene in any of Toby's works.

I really wish it was more common for people to draw anime characters as like, more obviously ethnically Japanese, or as darker skinned Japanese people, if that makes any sense? Anime does have a colorism problem, it's true, but like. That mostly affects Japanese people living in Japan that aren't super pale, not Americans.... there's American characters you could be drawing as black instead

Most Americans hate their own American stuff. And even when there is racebending like we see for the live-action Little Mermaid, live-action Tinkerbell, etc; It's never received well by people. Any other decent likes like John Stewart as Green Lantern or Static Shock, are not pushed up front. Maybe in a sense too, there's also implications of racebending certain characters. For example, let's say if you make Ed, Edd, and Eddy as black kids. The premise of the show is that the three boys have to scam others in the cul-de-sac to get money. The Ed boys are mostly disliked by the other kids. Edd is neglected by his parents as they only leave notes for communication and Eddy was straight up abused by his big brother. The implications for it can be messy. But then again, people even racebend other characters and ignore implications behind it like people making Crona from Soul Eater as black. You know, the character who gets ABUSED by his mother? Or making Power from Chainsaw Man black? The girl who NEVER showers, flushes the toilet, and is racist towards humans as she is a demon.

There is also the fact most Westerners want more realism in anime. Not just color skin, but hair style (with claims saying that braids and curly hair are only exclusive to black people), realistic noses, freckles, scars, etc.

[howiluig]

It's also the way that they're drawn. Anime characters don't look human, they look like the caricature of a human, which leads to a lot of interpretation for the viewer.

Do they really look ethically Japanese?
