Key component missing from most MegOP I see, as a subsection of the "not enough equality in their relationship" problem, is that everyone is aware that Optimus chases after Megatron, sure, but people forget/downplay how badly Megatron wants and needs Optimus to be chasing after him, opposing him, and does everything from mock/jibe/joke to straight up getting mad if Optimus doesn't rise up to meet him.
Yeah, even as far back as the OG cartoons and Marvel comic continuity, where he's literally created to be a war machine and fighting is literally in his coding, it's heavily implied Megatron picks specifically on Orion/Optimus because he likes him and that's the few ways he actually knows how to express himself- through psychological and physical combat.
It is a core trait of Megatron, that in various continuities and iterations, he doesn't know what the fuck to do with himself without Optimus as a counterbalance.
He just kind of emotionally implodes without someone of Optimus' caliber to keep up with his bullshit, this is canon.
THIS IS NOT A BLOODY DRILL, ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR THIS!
The godforsaken KIDS act has flown right through the House like a knife through butter and is heading for Senate next!
Now it's time to take the fight to the Senate, call your senators, and... You know what?
Updates
June 29, 2026: By a vote of 267-117, the House has passed H.R. 7757, the KIDS Act. The bill now moves to the Senate, though the Sen
This site got you covered with the necessary scripts for whatever means you might have to reach out.
US of A, you do not wanna go down that road. I've been down that road. It's called Roskomnadzor. So do whatever you can to make sure this shit doesn't come to pass.
Apparently the US is about to try and force KOSA and KIDS through on short notice so as few of people will be able to notice as humanly possible and be able to stop it. The worst part is the vote is Scheduled for 6/29.
Online safety coalition urges House to reject KIDS Act compromise
Children’s online safety groups are pressing House lawmakers to oppose the bipartisan measure, arguing that it weakens safeguards.
TL;DR:
A bunch of safety groups are urging Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie and ranking member Frank Pallone to reject the KIDS act
Led by Design It For Us, ParentsTogether, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and the Young People’s Alliance are the main organizations, but there was 90 other ones
The main thing that they seemly want is the duty of care part of KOSA, believing that without it, big tech doesn’t get punished without it
The senates version of Kosa has the duty of care
Some house members are worried about duty of care because they “have raised concerns that it could incentivize social media platforms to overzealously censor content to avoid litigation.”

“A coalition of children’s safety advocates is urging House leaders to reject a bipartisan compromise on online safety, arguing it weakens protections for minors and lets tech companies avoid accountability.”
“the groups urged Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) and ranking member Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) to oppose the bipartisan package — known as the KIDS Act — ahead of a potential House vote as soon as next week.”
“Led by Design It For Us, ParentsTogether, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and the Young People’s Alliance and signed by 90 other organizations,
the coalition said the deal struck by Energy and Commerce lawmakers fails to address its chief concern: the omission of a “duty of care” provision that would require tech companies to mitigate harms they know their products cause to young users.”
they wrote, “The Committee rejected our concerns and opted to negotiate a version that let Big Tech off the hook and rush this legislation to the House floor,”
They basically want the duty of care part, but “Some House members have raised concerns that it could incentivize social media platforms to overzealously censor content to avoid litigation.”
The senates version does have the duty of care
“Parents RISE, a coalition of parents who have experienced child loss or mental health difficulties due to tech platforms, sent a second letter to the same parties laying out similar qualms
“We did not create Social Media Victims Remembrance Day so that our children’s names could be used as cover for a bill that protects the very companies that harmed them,” they wrote.”
“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
