I think it would've been better to give Ribbit's role to Kaufmo (the character we've known since the very first episode/pilot) and instead make Ribbit Ragatha's abstracted bestie (would also help with the bad case of Ragatha's stolen screentime). Jax and Ragatha have always read as each other's foils to me, so it would've been nice to explore how people process trauma in different ways...but as of now I guess only the edgy boys and sad old men are allowed to grieve over their girflfriends
.A person with a compassionate and tender heart, dreaming of a better tomorrow. Imagine waking up to find yourself surrounded by ruins ,everything you once knew, gone. This is my reality and the reality of my family. The war has shattered our home, our dreams, and our hopes for the future. I’m not asking for much , only for a chance to rebuild my life, to travel, to start again, and to restore the home that once brought us warmth and safety. Your sup-port, even the smallest contribution, can he-lp me take the first step, toward a new beginning toward a life filled with hope instead of despair. He-lp me rebuild, travel, and bring life back to my home.
I’m going through unimaginable pain, and you might be my only hope to survive. Your kindness could be the difference between despair and safety. Please, show mercy. every don-ati-on helps. Your support can save a life.
I'm so tired of this fandom's nonsense dude. Like I'm being so deadass. Receipts if you care:
We had less than two months and this shit is brought to light. From the bottom of my heart this is frankly sad and disgusting behavior, no I don't care how long ago it happened it still happened. Honestly I don't know who I'm more disappointed in the accused in question or the fandom.
Gooseworx, Michael, Ashley and Sean all took ZERO accountability and their apologies were so fake, like even if they knew that the accusations were false apologizing hurts literally nobody??? Especially in this political climate we're in addressing and taking accountability for these instances is the moral thing to do, and the fact that they're unwilling to be open about how their actions could be perceived as controversial and apologize sincerely for any hurt caused says sooooo much about who they really are as people.
And. This. Fucking. Fandom. I read the TikTok comments and it's all 'why are we being so sensitive!!' 'they didn't actually say the N-word come on guys!!' 'the allegations are false because _____!!' 'happened years ago btw!!'
This is laughable because of how stupid and sad you all sound. There is no fucking way you're defending RACIST JOKES and POTENTIAL GROOMERS because you love their work or this show or their character. Everyone grasping at straws to defend so obviously and blatantly not-so-great people is honestly pathetic.
This fandom has to be full of people with attachment issues, there's no way you're so attached to Michael Kovach that you're defending him laughing at the word 'nega' for almost a minute straight and doing literal mental gymnastics to downplay how that joke could be taken. I don't give a fuck if it happened in 2019 (peak of the BLM movement btw), timing is never an excuse and it only makes it more disappointing that this wasn't addressed sooner.
And also, what happened to believing the victim guys? Sean Chiplock has fucking grooming allegations and that's all being swept under the rug for some reason? The racism needs to be talked about too but the fact that the LITERAL ACCUSED GROOMER is getting less backlash says so much about how you guys can defend a voice actor if they voice a fan-favorite character. Send your best wishes to the victims involved and GLITCH.
Which, speaking of. Poor GLITCH. They currently don't have any allegations so I feel so bad for them, along with Alex, Lizzie, Amanda and Marissa. Gooseworx is a POS for making racist jokes on Twitter, a climate she knew that racist jokes would be easier to downplay or get ignored. And it's tragic, because, as an African-American girl I genuinely looked up to her and wanted to follow in her footsteps one day.
Now I want to be better than her, and I already have a head start because I can take accountability and I don't say racist things on the internet. Or at all.
The defenders in this fandom are exhausting, the accused are exhausting, and I'm so disappointed in the experience TADC is turning into. This is not how I, GLITCH, or anyone wanted this amazing and thoughtful piece of media to end, and it says a lot more about the toxicity of fandom culture than we realize.
"Being in the cinema with tadc fans is actual hell" "The worst part of the tadc movie is having to be with tadc fans" "the tadc fandom is so annoying"... mmm how do I explain this to you?
YOU ARE PART OF THE FANDOM.
You are literally shitting on people whom you have a common interest with. Literally why would you do that? What kind of validation are u so desesperate for? "Oh im a fan of tadc but IM NOT LIKE THE REST OF THE FANDOM". Ok "girl who is NOT like the other girls" who the fuck cares about u anyways?
Im going into the theatre full of excitement because not only im going to see the last ep of my favourite show but also i get the amazing chance to see it along with people who are just as excited as me and are as fanatic of this show as me! THIS IS A COMMUNITY OCCASION!
WE GET THE CHANCE TO BE WITH OUR PEERS AND ENJOY/SUFFER/LAUGHT/GET SURPRISED AMONG OTHERS THAT WILL GET OUR FELINGS AND WONT SHAME US ABOUT IT. THATS WHAT A FANDOM IS ABOUT, TO EXPERIENCE A MEDIA TOGETHER.
BEING IN A FANDOM IS A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE.
You dont like other tadc fans? You think they are cringe? Toxic? Annoying?
THEN JUST STAY IN YOUR FUCKING HOME AND WATCH THE THING ALONE SO THE OTHERS "OH SO ANNOYING" TADC FANS DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR BORING NORMIE WANNABE BULLSHIT. Goodammit.
I think we got an answer to what causes abstraction????
"I made a program that creates a body perfectly encapsulating their mind files, and they hate those, too!"
So, if I understand, the shape and appearance of the Avatars is due to a program that reflects the User's mind state. Normally, this program would run during the Avatar's creation and be turned off after it.
BUT!!!! What if the Program is constantly running in the background and it never turns off????
If the "mind files" start to deteriorate or diverge from the original files. Let's say.... Having a complete mental breakdown???
I would assume the program would interpret that mental state as something quite... Abstract????
