Hell yeah my last post was about this, and hell yeah I'm basically repeating myself days later.

Because "politics aside, he's a good person" is still a phrase that irritates me more than any of the other things people commonly say about this. If someone was ACTUALLY a good person you wouldn't have to start your sentence off with "____ ASIDE". That aside is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

Again, I know it's supposed to be asking the other political side to ignore politics for this, but to me, with the way it was worded it just felt like an omission of guilt. "Yeah, his political views were harmful and hateful, but hey... He loves his family. At least he was nice to me: the cishet, white person, that holds the same beliefs as him... OwO."

I'm glad you had a good relationship with him, and should Tyler Robinson be guilty then I'm glad his family at least gets some justice from this. That's amazing for you, but plenty of families do not get that, because their loved one wasn't influential enough for people to care like they do for Charlie Kirk.

Kirk's last words sentence will always be "Including or not including gang violence?"

Before that, his second to last sentence was "Too many." when asked about how many trans shooters there have been in the last decade.

But you want me to ignore his politics, why? If the victim was a minority Kirk would've found a way to make their death political. If the shooter was a minority Kirk would've found a way to make the murder political, even when it wasn't. Most of the people asking us to ignore his political beliefs share the same viewpoints he does. They like to spit on the names of black people who die to police brutality, they like to mock trans suicide rates, they scoff when you mention Palestinian citizens dying in a genocide at the hands of Israel. God forbid you do the same to them.

Whats really mainly gaffing my goat about this Charlie Kirk stuff is the people saying "Look outside politics. He's (was) a good person." when he wasn't

I get their sentiment is differences aside he's still human, but his political beliefs are the whole point.

He said himself having gun deaths is worth it to have 2nd amendment rights. He turned a blind eye to victims of police brutality, to (other) victims of gun violence. He scoffed in the face of Palestinians - children included, because "Hamas bad." He's a good dad, but he said he'd rather have his ten year old daughter give birth after being r*ped, than her have an abortion. That is not a good person.

If you have no sympathy for others then I have no sympathy for you. I have more sympathy for the students that were there than I do for Charlie Kirk.

mayhaps im off my rocker tonight. but i kinda like imagining abed and frankie have a short, private conversation about growing up "different" in the way they did. the group doesnt know about this, it wasnt anything deep. still meant a lot to both

id like to imagine (at least early) jeff winger binge would watch "REAL LAWYER REACTS TO ____" videos on youtube if hes in a mood to pity himself. like in the dark at 3am watching his 100th legaleagle video out of jealousy and longing for his old life and job back.

im aware these videos didnt exist back when community takes place so just replace youtube videos with like... harvey birdman idk.

the tiktok "haunting the narrative" trend is annoying because most of the characters posted are main characters. and the only thing i can compare it to is a haunted hous, which surface level obvious take yea.

but like. in this haunted house the ghost keeps moving like books and decor around, opening and closing doors, messing with the lights. you never actually see the ghost itself though, just its impact in the house. hence "haunting"

meanwhile, we have the houseowner. if they started moving decor around, turning the lights on and off, opening doors, etc. itd be expected. theyre the person that lives there. its what people do when they are in a house.

compare it to "haunting the narrative", at least from my pea-brain understanding. the plot being the haunted house, the main character being the house owner, and the ACTUAL "haunting the narrative" character being the ghost (not always in a literal sense ik they dont have to be dead to haunt the narrative).

cause i would HOPE the mc has plot relevance. i would HOPE they have character growth. i would HOPE their choices impact the story and even the characters around them. i think thats expected of them.

compared to a character that we BARELY see, yet they still considerably impact the story. eye dee kay.
