Honest to god I laughed after your last life update. You are aware that YOU pick the men who enter you with their penis, right? No man is coming up to you like "YOU ARE MINE NOW" and you are forced to be with them. Women, literally all women CHOOSE the men they are with. You chose your fucking horrid ex, and then after all the signs that this guy is another loser, you choose him too, and then claim all men are trash. Nah girlie, plenty of girls out here picking winners. YOUR dumbness is the one out here letting idiots stick their dick inside you. "Like, do you want to talk to me or...?" you know how to know if a guy wants to talk to you or not? HE FUCKING TALKS TO YOU. You are fucking painfully stupid, and while I used to feel bad for you with what happened with your ex, now I've realised that you just make dumbass decisions and blame it on other people because that's easier to do than accepting responsibility for what you've done, or becoming better and not being an absolute moron. You require a base amount of respect to have sex? Jesus you just demonstrated how he wasn't doing it, and yet you still entertained this shit. God... YOU are people. Fucking YOU. When you hear, "why are people so painfully fucking stupid?!" that's fucking YOU. Jesus.

You enjoy being this person?

At least I’m not you. At least I’m not attacking people on the internet and spewing hate. And I am so grateful for that. I could never be that. I don’t know why you hide who you are. You’re very angry too.

Hope you have a great life 💛

[rubenesque-as-fuck]

You've never done anything to help anyone in your entire life. Does it pain you to know that not everyone is fooled by this blatant posturing? I hope so!

This is who you sound like 👆

You can just be fujoshi. No need to LARP as a man to keep fetishizing gay relationships. People would respect you more.

This is a good example of what I am talking about when I say "fujoshi" is often an an insult against trans men and can be a dog whistle more often than you may think. Anyway, gay men loooovvveee having sex with me 🖕 LARPing putting hormones in my body and his cock in my mouth 🖕

[niallloverontheloose]

I just have a question here why is it everytime there’s a dissenting opinion, it’s broken down into you white people just don’t understand anything. It’s because I’m not black? Not just I have a different opinion? I agree with a lot of what you said but one of my majors was AA history so I’m not blind to the slave catcher parallels. I just didn’t like a few scenes in the episode before last because I thought it was crappy writing. I am fully capable of understanding harm when it’s not in my face.

I’m from the deep south and though I’m not black I am a minority who has experienced racism from both white and black people alike so maybe my experience lends me a bit of a different perspective but I think it’s incredibly disingenuous to say if you’re not black, you’re incapable of understanding nuances and if you’re white you’re a racist who doesn’t understand anything. It’s like assuming all black people are alike, or all white people are the same. Throwing everyone who disagrees into the they’re not black so they’re incapable of understanding this thing pile is whack. It’s even weirder considering a white man and bunch of other white dudes wrote the show based on a series written by a white lady.

Hi anon, you seem to think I am being disingenuous in my take, yet make assumptions that I am calling all white people racist and all black people correct. I would have hoped that your AA degree would have raised your awareness to unconscious bias and white fragility, but looking at this anon it did not

I'm going to assume that you know most white people do not major in African American history, hell most white people don't even take an African American history course. So: the post wasnt about you specifically. If you understood the references then it isnt directed at you at all (or at anyone its just me talking aloud).

This may surprise you but I do not know you, nor do I care whether or not you think the writing was bad. I have my own opinion you have your own stop assuming im out for your blood just because im reading horror with a black main character from a black horror perspective

truly cannot imagine shipping Alina with someone that sold her best friend into a sex trade and then also mutilated the same bff. go off, I guess.

And I can’t imagine coming into someone’s inbox to insult them on an anon for their fictional preferences because I’m too afraid to show my face, but here we are.

But hey. I’ll address the accusation. Because I’m not a fan of your word choice and I don’t think it captures what happened in canon.

First off, I’ve never defended his mutilation of Genya. In fact that was the deed that sealed for me that the Darkling wasn’t going to get a redemption. There are certain actions authors will have their character do to over emphasize evil and that’s one of them. I think it was a little over the top from a writer’s perspective, but in universe, yeah, it’s definitely horrible.

The whole ‘sex trade’ thing. I don’t understand why people assume the Darkling knew what was going to happen to Genya when he gave her to the queen.

First off, being made servant to a queen in a monarchy would be a huge honor for someone not born into the nobility. According to the story she has a good relationship with the queen at the start and isn’t mistreated. The Darkling places her there to be a potential spy. Not because he’s lying in wait for the king to start going after her. He just hopes she might hear things he can use.

Then the king does start going after her and she comes to the Darkling for help. He doesn’t say ‘sucks, you’ve gotta keeping doing it because it’s part of my grand plan’. He gives her a choice. He can send her away to a place she will be safe or she can stay and have her revenge on the king. She chooses the latter.

Now, is it fair to put that choice on a young woman (it’s unclear her age at this point)? No of course not. Is the Darkling thinking of how he can use this awful situation to his advantage? Yes he is. But he does give her an out. A chance to not be a part of any of it.

People ask why the Darkling didn’t just protect Genya from the king or bring her back to the Little Palace. And I think those people.... don’t understand how monarchy works? The Darkling has to do what the king says. If he tried to protect Genya or remove her from the queen’s service, the king could have said ‘no’. And the Darkling needs to toe a line with him. The best thing he could do for Genya was send her away. Out of sight, out of mind for the king.

If he was like... a moral guy, he would have sent her away without putting the choice to her. But he’s the villain, so here we are. I don’t exactly ship him and Alina for their moral righteousness. But at the end of the day ‘sold into a sex trade’ is complete hyperbole to what happened. ‘Took advantage of a girl’s abuse to overthrow a king’ is closer.

Anyway that’s my two cents on the Genya thing. And probably the last time I’m gonna answer anons about it because now you guys know my stance— it was bad, but the Darkling is often given more blame than the actual king, and Also the Darkling is a villain so he’s gonna do bad things. That’s how villain x hero ships go

[moomingitz]

Uh oh! We got an extra edgy one, here!

Why the St. Lawrence River? What’s so special about it? Also, Mephiles isn’t exactly the smartest villain in order to do that with Elise, anyway.

imagine being a grown adult and actively choosing to make attacking survivors for bringing up the literally documented ways in which fetishizing rape/abuse/incest contributes to the perpetuation of rape culture your personality. i hope the survivors around you IRL find out what kind of person you really are and sock you in the jaw on their way out of your life

Hi anon! I don't know what this is about! Probably the fact that I'm proship. I still believe that fantasies are not reality, actions (not thoughts) are what determine your morality, and shipping fictional characters doesn't hurt anyone in real life. If anyone disagrees with those things they are free to unfollow me, thanks!

Also, I have been sexually assaulted, so maybe don't make assumptions about who is and is not a "survivor" in my life. I still believe that it's the assaulters' actions, not their thoughts, that hurt me and other survivors of sexual assault and rape.

But you saying you hope someone physically does violence to me is fine, right? Even though you're supposedly the one who believes that words normalize real-life violence and that's bad? Or is it only bad when it applies to people you believe are innocent, and everyone else is excluded from your idea of worthiness?
