reblog and put in the tags the earliest songs you remember actively liking as a child (asking adults to play them for you, learning the lyrics, being excited when they came on the radio etc.)
hey i hope this isn't a bad time but one billion points lava damage
me when. when my coffee
I thought Threads was just full of twitter users anyway how have these people not seen the original tweet
there are twitter users but primarily it is composed of Instagram users
it's always "don't repeat the cycle" and "beware of the cycle" and never How was the cycle was it fun to be in the cycle
I really don’t feel like we as a society are talking enough about this
TURN THE FUCKING AUDIO ON
tiny fawn, determinedly approaching the camera on wobbly legs on an empty road: mee! mee! mee! mee!
deep human voice: I'm not mama, mama's over there!
fawn, plaintively, continuing to approach: mee!
deep human voice: there, little guy! you're teeny-tiny!
fawn: (continues to approach)
deep human voice: here, let me-- we'll put you next to my coffee cup, so we can see how little you are.
fawn: (wobbles forward, lies down next to a travel coffee tumbler set down on the road. the tumbler has pictures of cute woodland creatures on it)
deep human voice: *chuckling in wonderment* ohhh, you are teeny-teeny-tiny!

why does she drink alcohol like she’s pretending to drink alcohol
“oh we don’t wanna consume problematic media–” i unironically think everyone should consume problematic media at some point in their life. obviously not to say that people should monetarily support hp or aot or that, but i think it teaches you critical thinking skills when you say “yeah, objectively kingdom hearts has a lot of issues with the writing of their female characters” instead of “if you play kingdom hearts you’re a sexist”, you know?
if the only thing you consume is cookie-cutter “good“ than how are you going to act when something bad happens irl? when you do something bad irl? what do you do when your favorite Pure media suddenly a Not Good??? cause that’s the thing, NOTHING is perfect. NOTHING and NO ONE. we’re all flawed people and the stuff we create is going to be flawed and that’s what makes us human. stop trying to be perfect, it’s literally impossible, and learn how to say “this thing has problems and i’m willing to look at and discuss them, but it’s also something i enjoy and i am going to also celebrate the good”
i just. when i was a kid i was That™ warriors kid on the playground. running around on all fours hissing and doing clan meetings with my friend group on the slide. i read every fucking warriors book that existed, which is not an easy feat
looking at it now, i can tell you the treasure trove of Problematic Content™ it has. the rampant sexism (despite all the authors being women??), lack of care for continuity or exploring the world outside of our protags, one-dimensional villains, indigenous stereotyping/appropriation, even more sexism, the age gaps and incest-y relationships that the authors either don’t notice, refuse to acknowledge, or defend for some fucking reason, the INSANE ableism and heteronormativity… it’s a MESS.
i’m still glad i read it. i still reblog fanart of hollyleaf and leafpool, still point at cats and give them warrior names, i still think fondly of the island in the lake behind my friend’s house that looked exactly like the meeting spot in the books, still joke with friends about which clan we’d be in or our favorite characters would be in
as a kid, i didn’t notice all the issues, but there were others i could spot. i could spot the accidental incest and say “that’s weird, i don’t like that.” i didn’t notice the sexism in the way the female characters were always shoved aside and ended up becoming Doting Mothers™, but i did notice the ableism of assuming cinderpelt and jayfeather couldn’t be warriors despite their disabilities not being something that would stop an irl cat from finding a way to hunt or fight. and i was able to say “i don’t like these parts, and there would be a way to do them better.”
contrast to when i was in… fourth grade? third? i remember i was in public school, and i borrowed a book from the library that offhandedly mentioned a ouija board. i asked my mom how to pronounce this strange new word and she immediately took the book from me until it was time to return it. this didn’t teach me what my mom wanted me to learn, which was “we don’t fuck with demons in this house,” it just taught me that i couldn’t go to my mom with questions about books i was reading because she would take them away.
it was way better for my young, learning mind to say “what is wrong with this, why does it feel wrong, and what could they have done better” than to just take the Problems™ away
and obviously i dont think people should actively seek out shit media, but like. reading or watching something with Problems™ isn’t the end of the fucking world
SO funny how people in the notes are like “but what about media that’s actively harmful like hp or aot???” as if i didnt mention them explicitly in the first post lol
tell me u cant read without telling me u cant read
also for everyone saying “consume media not made for children”: fun fact my original draft of this post was talking about shit like 1984 and Lolita but long story short 90% of the internet hasn’t read past a 4th grade level so i figured warrior cats would make my point better lol
1984 is objectively “problematic” (fucking hate that term), because it was designed to be that.
1984 is a story about a single person living under an authoritarian dictatorship where everything is under the control of the Party. Your privacy, your house, your soul, your mind, your body, your feelings, your job, your possessions, all of that is controlled by the Party. It is a book rife with things that people would deem “problematic”–the surveillance state, the torture, the concepts and existence of both the Miniluv and Minitrue, the treatment of Eastasian and Eurasian prisoners, the Two Minute Hate, Hate Week, hell, even Emmanuel Goldstein can be deemed “problematic” thanks to the undertones of antisemitism.
Guess what? A lot of those problems are by design, because 1984 is a dystopian story where absolutely fucking everything is shit, and it’s designed as a cautionary tale about life in a dictatorship and a surveillance state.
1984 is a good book to read. It is also “problematic”. Why is it good? For the exact same reasons it’s “problematic”.
can't decide which is more swagless, hyping yourself in the third person or complaining that teenagers on the internet don't worship you any more

see my problem with this is that marvel is shamelessly pandering to the queer community by creating token characters instead of creating true representation, and using being gay as a character novelty as opposed to an intrinsic part of a character’s identity. unfortunately this design also fucks severely
want to spread a resource: https://www.darkpattern.games/
dark pattern has articles on gameplay patterns that are used to manipulate how you play a game and/or how much money you spend on it.
there are also lists for games breaking down what patterns they feature/dont feature
check it out, make sure your friends arent falling into a pit of gambling and despair.

Wow. Imagine hating different game types so much you devote an entire site to ruining everyone else’s fun by calling it “dark”.
Want to support developers that continue adding content to your favourite games via battle passes? BAD.
Developers put time and effort into creating things you enjoy but want to offer them for free so they opt to get paid via ads? EVIL.
You, as a player, want to relax and play something you enjoy but you just happen to enjoy grinding? VILLIANOUS.
Just want to play an RPG? Congrats, by this site’s definitions, you’re being manipulated!
There is absolutely a good time and place to critique certain aspects of insidiousness in video game development, even all of the examples I used above, but this ain’t it chief. Just because you don’t happen to enjoy certain elements of game play or financial support for the people that create your games doesn’t make them wrong or terrible.
You are genuinely stupid.
