sorry i'm still angry about this but if your excuse for not caring about female characters is because you're not sexually attracted to them you are exactly 0 degrees of rhetorical separation from a redditor whining about how his favourite video game is now "too woke" because the women don't show enough skin

Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.

when artists get rightfully upset about their art being misinterpreted, edited, stolen or even just compared to other medias, the talking point of “well what did you expect, you posted it online” sucks to hear, because god forbid people be nice, just nice, plain and simple

“Why do Americans not simply overthrow their government?”

Well have you ever tried to overthrow the American government? Why aren’t you doing it if it’s so easy, wise guy?

Also given the state of the country right now the people who do take over after the smoke clears are uncomfortably likely to be fascists anyways.

Heteronormativity just seems like people making up weird arbitrary rules and then getting mad at each other for breaking them and it all looks so miserable to me

A straight guy told me he's going to therapy to figure out why the idea of having children and being in a monogamous marriage doesn't appeal to him and I was just like idk man that describes like 90% of my friends including me and we're all literally fine but good luck I guess?

They have 1 singular very specific life path as an option and if you don't want that exact one, there must be something wrong with you, and then they wonder why they're so miserable.

We had a fascinating cultural exchange in the sense that I asked him to explain what the issue is exactly because in gay world that's kind of the default. Especially when you're in your 30s.

Somehow, us queers are the weird ones...

Him: I know it's wrong but I don't like the idea of settling down and raising children right now, I'm enjoying my hobbies and traveling and I don't want to give that up just yet, it probably stems from childhood trauma and I'm trying to work on it

Me, currently doing a challenge wherein I have a tasty little drink every day: well I think there are different ways to live your life... have you ever had a schweppes virgin mojito?

There’s an old Scooby Doo Promo where they recreate the iconic opening scene of the original Scream movie.

At the end of the promo it’s revealed that shaggy is just prank calling Daphne, which is extra funny because Matthew Lillard played one of the killers in Scream (Stu Macher) as well as playing Shaggy in the live action Scooby Doo movies (and later voicing the character in animation)

The thing that’s absolutely wild is that this promo aired 5 years before Matthew Lillard was cast as Shaggy for the first time.

This is exactly the kind of meta humor that the Scream Franchise loved to play with, but it was a complete accident.

arguments that have zero merit, none, completely worthless, should not influence your decisions at all ever:

"this is how we've always done it"

"that's the policy"

"we've never tried that before"

etc

I just learned about the existance of “pretend to work” spaces in China where you can pay to pretend to work at a realistic looking fake office so that you can take selfies to pretend that you have a job and get your family to stop asking why you’re unemployed. Which is like such a capitalism thing that I have no joke to make about it.

It’s so annoying when I say I have an irrational fear or a phobia and people try to logic me out of it. I just told you that it’s irrational.

you notice over time that some people clearly understand the concept of thinking critically about the media they consume and who its created by but dont want to do the critical thinking themselves so they just like. wait for people on the internet to tell them what theyre allowed to like in order to keep their Good Person score high or whatever. which doesnt seem very productive to me i think.
