the animal "fly" is called as such because it fly. the animal "bee" is called as such because it be. the humble "blowfish"? well, i shan't say.

So I've seen the post going around that's kind of like "kids should be able to read whatever they want and not have their choices censored by adults" and I largely agree with one caveat which is that children need to be able to opt in. I remember being 12 and sneaking some dirty books, and being interested and excited to read a book with something more sexy in it, and no one died, and everything was fine, and I was not forever scarred. However I do remember being shown a a horror film at seven by a babysitter and not being able to sleep for three weeks, and if I'd known how scary the movie was I wouldn't have wanted to watch it.

Kids can usually know what they can handle. Kids cover their eyes at scary points in films, kids read past stuff they aren't ready for. But it is good to be clear like "Oh that book might have some scary parts you might not like, are you sure you want to get that one?" Or "Oh this book has some grown up things in them that you might have a hard time understanding, I want to check that your okay with that." Like give kids the warnings and options and they will probably make a safe and informed decision. It doesn't have to be either or.

we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

the term “feminine hygiene” being used so universally in stores makes me incredibly sad and it shocks me that more people don’t find it frustrating. why can’t we just say menstrual products??? it’s more straightforward! what does “feminine hygiene” even mean??? “menstrual products” doesn’t imply that menstruation is “unhygienic”, it doesn’t imply that you have to be “feminine” to need them… it’s a better term in every way. so WHY is “feminine hygiene” the one companies are obsessed with using!! fuck!

It’s so funny to see how many people in the TADC community vehemently hate Jax. That’s the point. He’s not supposed to be likable.

Not every character has to be a good person and a fan favorite. I’m sure a lot of people would become unbearable if they were trapped in the digital circus for the rest of their life.

It gets to the point though where you can’t even interact with the community because so many people are complaining about the story. If you don’t like the story, don’t watch, no one‘s forcing you.

“Oh Jax is awful” fair, let’s discuss why! “Well he’s not nice and I think they should get rid of him” 🫩 I’m so tired.

No intelligent conversation just “he’s bad, that makes me uncomfortable, nothing that makes me uncomfortable should exist” How about we sit with what makes us uncomfortable. Why does it make us feel this way? Is it something we see in ourselves? Is it something that we see in those that hurt us? Why do people act this way? What in their lives affected them to make that act this way?

Just because a character is a “bad person” doesn’t mean they’re a bad character. They do exactly what the creator set out for them to do. They are tools to tell a story, not real people whose actions need to be judged.

The more that people in fandom spaces realize this the better the communities can be. At the end of the day these are fictional characters used to tell a story.
