Going into fandom tags really is asking if you wanna see your favorite characters fat, ugly, and mischaracterized
This post is going to make me sound like a total assole and I preemptively apologize. This is not directed at anyone in particular. Giving music recs to people feels awesome and listening to music recs from people is a miserable experience 85% of the time. I’ll mention a classic song I like and someone will be like “Have you heard The Breadsticks cover of that? It is so good!” and you pull it up and give it a try and it is hot garbage. It is coworker music. It is music you find on a playlist created for a popular YA ship. It is worse than the original by every conceivable metric and you sit back and realize someone thinks this is really good and you don’t want to hurt their feelings so you have no clue how to respond. We all know the phrase ‘you can’t eat at everybody’s house’ but you really cannot listen to everyone’s music recommendations. Especially if it is unprompted. People are just rearing to tell you to listen to some bullshit. And it has nothing to do with how cool the person is, there are some very cool and chill people in this world who unironically listen to Imagine Dragons in their free time. You cannot possibly know if their taste in music is good or horrendous until it is too late and your ears have been subjected to some torment.

The best thing about OG MST3K is the extremely Minnesota-specific jokes
when i first watched it i was living near the area where they filmed it and they kept referencing random totally non-notable places within 20 minutes of where i lived. felt like this
see every time i see this status i get angry because i’ve played through literally every scenario in rct1 and there is no place where this is a thing. there is never more than one park per map. and in rct2 you can’t make that happen i the scenario editor either. it is not remotely within the game’s functionality to simulate two discrete parks and these games were coded in assembly for christ sake so it’s not like someone modded it in by adding the line “int const TOTAL_NUM_POSSIBLE_PARKS = 2;”. there is no conceivable way this post is anything close to true and even though i know how writing all this out reflects upon me as a person and even though i know exactly how meaningless and trifling of a takedown attempt this is on some random facebook screencap with hundreds of thousands of notes im going to post it anyway because i’m too petty to have any say in the matter

the "assigned reading makes people hate books" thing always takes me completely off guard when someone very confidently says a book has no substance because they read it in school, but it's funnier when it's a book you haven't heard described that way before
anyway I'm still rolling over in my head the person who, categorising books similarly nonsubstantial and boring to jonathan livingston seagull, pulled flowers for algernon as their example

Now I have to know: what makes fantasy too cosy/dndslop?
I mean it usually tells you. sometimes it's because it lists out all featured tropes on the back of the book, sometimes it's because there's the sense the protagonists are a party of self-contained lore bubbles who have no reason to be together and show no sign of belonging to the setting they're in, sometimes it's homestuck dialogue, and other times a tiefling walks on-stage and goes Hello I Am A Tiefling

I don’t like this actually
This is depressing does anyone else find this depressing
I don’t think we ought to normalize or justify bullying as a means to keep people from being annoying — a sentiment that in and of itself could make for a whole article’s worth of conversation — but I do think we should make a habit of politely but directly telling people “hey I didn’t like that”, “that wasn’t funny”, “you are mistaken”, and the like if it’s called for, and more importantly, you should be able to take a “that wasn’t funny” for instance without taking it personally, because protecting a polite harmony where no one can criticize each other, not even politely, is also really, really bad.
#let's also normalize assuming that strangers won't think insults are funny#perhaps because of the insult or perhaps because the comment just wasn't funny!#someone makes a joke in a room of ten other people. no one laughs but the teller. who has the deficient sense of humor?#all ten people in the audience? or the guffawing loner who noticed someone's unusually shaped ear or something and made it headline news#'you're too sensitive' and you're not funny. we appear to be at an impasse
