This is not the type of post I really like to make, but I feel like it needs to be said better than to be left alone as I fear each time it's mentioned. Please be advised with the warnings of caution.
Tw: April 24, Mentions of s/a & the r word
As hopefully a lot of people know, April 24th is coming. What's April 24th? Well, that would be known as National R×pe Day. And yes, you read that right.
As I am saying this, I'd like to advise you what to do and use during said day with what I know.
1. Bring a friend and/or family member with you at all times. (Preferably someone who fights or someone who can help you out of the situation in any way possible.)
2. Stay home as much as you can.
3. Bring something with you if you ARE gonna go out and make sure it defends you or any other person around your surroundings. (Bat, taser, etc.)
4. Tell or share posts talking about the topic to others who may not be aware or who may not be aware of April 24.
5. If you see someone getting into a bad situation, I advise you go help the person out by pretending you know them (don't make it too crazy cus that would be unbelievable) or by simply telling someone to help out with the situation before things get worse for the individual.
6. If someone is trying to pressure you into being with them in any shape way or form, you have EVERY right to tell them no or to walk away. You don't owe that person anything. It'll be seem silly, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
7. Report or get away any suspicious behavior from an individual who seems to behave in a creepy way or in a way you don't feel is right.
I'm probably overreacting, cus obviously this has been happening a lot, but I've been seeing a lot of people talk about it and I fear about it. Like I said, it's unusual for me to post stuff like this, but I worry for everyone.
And remember; April 24 DOES NOT justify r×pe. Clothing DOES NOT justify it. Lack of talk/consent DOES NOT justify it. "You owe me this!" DOES NOT justify it. NOTHING justifies it. Everybody should be safe and happy and should not have to be dealing with stuff like this.
Anyways I love you all, please be safe and have a good day ❤️
I didn't wanna say anything but Invincible fans and Dispatch fans genuinely get on my nerves sometimes so -
Why do I find it similar ?? Well, the supposedly attractive woman assaults/harrasses the protagonist and gets comments from that Fandom like "I wish that was me!" "Oh he's so lucky!" and then turns around, look at the black women who did no wrong in the story and start hating on them for being too "loud" or "annoying". See the pattern ?
Is it bad that I'm not a fan of Robert x Invisigal but I'm a fan of Invisigal x Blonde Blazer ? Tbf, Courtney has more respect for Mandy whenever they're both on screen than she had ever respected Robert throughout some of her scenes in the entire game...I could be reading into it too much🚶
This is actually so real. I almost feel like a hypocrite for disliking invisimech while being chill with invisiblazer, but I think their dynamics and Visi's treatment of Robert vs Blazer makes a difference.
Right when we're introduced to Invisigal, we actually get one out of the like 3 interactions between the two and get some insight into their relationship. Blazer is really casual about Visi hiding in the conference room all things considered and only lectures her about keeping Robert's identity as Mecha Man a secret. What also happens is Blazer pointing out that Invisigal is wearing her earrings and Visi willingly giving them back with only some minor snark. How did Visi steal Blazer's earrings?? That little detail has made a decent portion of the fandom headcanon that they're roommates or at the very least have some kind of past together since we know that Blazer is the one who brought Invisigal into the Phoenix Program.
Another point I need to bring up is Blonde Blazer's blatant favoritism towards Visi. She says she sees potential in her and flat out says she wouldn't have let Robert cut Invisigal. Crazy shit to say right before both of them decide that Coupé still feels "too evil" if you decide to cut her. I like Mandy but I am not tolerating Coupé slander from the Invisigal's personal cheerleader 😤
I also just want to put this scene here
This scene between Blazer and Visi has a crazy amount of genuine chemistry in comparison to any of the weird shit that Invisigal was putting Robert through.
Now I've complained a lot about Invisigal as a character, but obviously someone had to write her that way. ADHOC Studio made the extremely sexist decision to have Courtney's entire redemption and self worth revolve around a man she has a crush on. Obviously it wouldn't be better if her redemption revolved around Blazer, but it would've been a good character moment for Courtney to actually acknowledge that other people besides Robert wanted the best for her.
That's a good way to look at it too! To be honest, I didn't even consider Blazer's favoritism adding to the ship which makes it more wrong to Sonar and Coupe as well 🥲 Visi is Blazer's favorite and Visi gives Blazer more respect through the very few scenes together than Visi ever respected Robert's space (and maybe Mandy ever considered other Z-Team members (Sonar or Coupe getting cut over Visi is a good example), not to bash her)
But yeah, the game did a bad job making Visi seem like a good love interest all because she had that wet dream and she goes around Robert's space. The locker room still annoys me so bad 😐
Last night I had this weird dream where Flambae cries and Robert hugs him out of complete comfort and it had to do with Flambae making some sort of trade to save Robert while he was in a coma. Am I emerging to the angst side of Mechaflame
YEAH, at least their main one, the pacific way, save the world, etc still have their posts, but the main one at least for me only have the profile pic and header as the only photos for some reason? 😭
I think women's breasts shouldn't be censored in media or public
Now hear me out !!! This is not in a sexual matter.
I just think that in media, we mostly get to see men's tits but not women's tits. So I decided to look up why women's breasts are censored and I got the results that women's breasts are sexualized about a lot of the time.
I honestly think it's kind of sad cus when you see a man with his tits out, nobody really says anything but then when a women's tits are out, everyone gon be like 'Omg you're being inappropriate or a pervert!' 'You're being a slut like you want people to grab them!'
I'm not saying if you find that hot, you may find it hot. I'm a tiddy lover, obviously, but c'mon, I think it may be too much to have one category be allowed to do this (men) when the other can't (women).
I might be going about this the wrong way, but that's my opinion tbh cus I'm honestly saying let the tiddy be free 😌
Dispatch romance option where Robert would be in the Mecha suit and would hold Flambae before he got in any critical hit from a villian, sparking something with Flambae's warmth and Robert's protection >>> whatever they were tryna do with Invisigal
