Jax: 67!

Gangle: Wh-What does that mean?

Jax: Here, I'll show you!

[shoves Gangle to the ground]

Ragatha: J-JAX!

Pomni: Calm down, Ragatha...he probably didn't mean to do that...

[Caine flies down from the ceiling]

Caine: Listen up, you fried green tomatoes! In today's adventure, you will be put to work in the sweatshops to make Jax merch for our overlords at Glitch Productions! Someone has to fund this place, and you all look like beautiful cash cows!

Kinger: ...I'm a chess piece.

Zooble: F@#K that. I don't wanna spend the day making maid!Jax figurines.

Caine: You can shut up now!

[Caine snaps his fingers and teleports the cast into Glitch Production's basement]

Woah, woah, woah! This is incredibly inaccurate!

Ragatha was given way too much screentime!

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

I love Elluka so much

[xenasaur]

the way ppl talk about latinas is kind of very gross if I'm being honest

[xenasaur]

they're like reverse Asians bro they're all stacked and they're fiery mamacitas who you can break like a horse and make into domestic servants who love family

[xenasaur]

"bro I need a big booty latina" bro I need you to kill yourself

[xenasaur]

fucking quintessentially USAmerican honestly. "oh there's an anti-ICE protest going on? dude all my fellow white guys are gonna fucking love this quippy line that fetishizes latina women I gotta get this on a sign and get out there"

[xenasaur]

i feel like whenever people discuss hatsune mikus age its always either "hatsune miku is literally 16 you cant treat her like an adult" or "hatsune miku is a piece of software with no thoughts or feelings you can do whatever" but never the imo more interesting "hatsune miku is a marketing mascot designed to be a virtual idol, what does it say about the idol industry that the people involved considered 16 to be the perfect age to assign her. why do so many vtubers played by adult women have 16 on their profile. why are so many idol anime about highschoolers. can we talk about the contexts and implications please please please please-"

[redstonedust]

and this isnt a "japan bad lol" thing theres so many characters out there who are functionally treated as adults but designated to be in their late teens. i think the oldest (official) disney princess is like. 21. its a feature of how society at large treats 16-25 as the only viable window of attractiveness yknow. the dicaprio problem. its everywhere once you look for it unfortunately and even characters i love are not exempt from reflecting the bias.

It is never ok to do anything.

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book

[paperjoshi]

what the fuck is a time knife

I will absolutely never stop being angry about how Viktor’s decision (not to use the hexcore to help him) about his own physical health and his bodily autonomy as a terminally ill person was not only completely ignored, but was directly violated by his best friend, by the very person that Viktor entrusted to destroy what they’d created. And not only was his autonomy as a human fucking being disregarded in favor of what an abled person thought was best in the moment, but! This crucially causes him to completely lose himself and become the main villain in the story (nevermind the ENTIRE buildup between Zaun and Piltover) .

The only major disabled character in the show is made evil because someone he trusted decided that he did not know what was best for himself.
