#cd-call critical

[draconic-cuddles]

How I sleep knowing Lily Orchard/CD-Call's videos have been tanking in views this year and she'll probably never make a comeback at this point

[spiderandmosquito]

okay, I need to say this

I don't want my blog to be a drama channel, I talk about what I want, when I want. I may post about CD-Call because I want to but this is not a critical blog. With that said:

Why, is like 7 out of every 10 "lily orchard" or "lily orchard critical" tagged post about... someone else? Like multiple someone else's?

Lilian Orchard is an absolute monster who has been accused of the worst things you can imagine while also being a hilarious person worth pointing and laughing. She's an abuser, utterly incompetent at the self-made career she holds over everyone in the world, and has every ism there is.

But you all would rather talk about how Ant threw pennies at her to embarrass her in front of her fans.

You'd rather talk about Sai being mischievous and somewhat uncouth.

You'd rather forget Crim exists.

What are you actually trying to accomplish here?

As for me, I don't give a single decimal point of an iota not one atom sized smidgen for any of this bad optics nonsense. I am so sick of people turning flawed, fallible human beings like anyone else into a bulletpoint list of their most unattractive characteristics, at least half of it is lies anyway.

It's bad enough people keep saying, "who cares about her media takes, she raped her sister", you all suddenly seemed really willing to just ignore all that... and then hold this load of nothing to the same weight as that. Yeah, I said it. You blokes are more mad at a goddamn superchat than the damned rapist. You know she pedojacketed him? Like, recently. I've only seen one post covering it. Because again, his superchat was apparently just as bad as her straight libel!

Fuck.

That.

But I did receive hope to find I wasn't the first to make this post today.

Hopefully more come up after me because this:

This isn't helping anyone. This is an idealogical dick measuring contest.

This is bad comedy.

Oh fuck that's a great laugh! Unfortunately I think she's serious. Debunking it isn't hard though, she is saying a lot but... well just watch.

First off, the bullet points. OBSERVE!

What Lily is writing is the Disney-fied version, it used to be very cut and dry. Also she fails to "de-game-ify" KOTOR so she thinks the press a button to le good boy points or le bad boy points is intentional. It's a game Lily, the game will kiss your ass no matter what you do, because game.

Extreme failure to recognize gamey elements, "muh horde champion is gruff an' tough an' don't take no shit from nobody!" That's nice ma'am get to the back of the line with the 4.5 million or so other horde champions that all say that. You ain't special.

There isn't a formula. Avatar is not a franchise large enough to have become formulaic.

From here it's basically using way too much to say far too little. Yapping that she's being deconstructive and lookit how smart she is!... Except she didn't and hasn't done a deconstruction of anything. This runs parallel to a Learning From Lorch I'm working on, but a key part of a proper deconstruction is knowing and caring about the original thing.

Lily does not. She likes things from them, but the unbroken whole can kick sand. There's no deconstruction unless we are talking entirely literally in that most of the vehicle that is storytelling just isn't fucking there. Niva is made to hard counter Ozai types... though ACTUALLY doing that implies Niva is active enough into politics to find and expose them before they gain political power, which uh

She talks about hating being the Avatar but in her entire tenure she's only ever beseeched about 4 times in her whole life to ever do anything, and it's always an Avatar level threat. Not even mentioning she accrued more raw bending power than any previous avatar! "I hate being the Avatar so I will now become the most powerful one to exer exist ever" logic checks out, yeah. Which fucking sucks because Aang is already a beautiful deconstruction of the chosen one archetype. Niva is in every way worse than Korra while falling into all the same traps!

And to address the asker, who claimed they're all just mean heros....welll...

It's that heroic deeds on paper does not equal being heroic. Niva again exemplifies the problem most, and boy do I have receipts!

Only truly tries against a terrorist group once her sister is at risk of being a casualty of war.

Lackidaisical attitude towards ARMAGEDDON.

Decides to make more statistics out of innocent people while demanding that the world leaders apologize for her HURTING HER FEELINGS...

Struggled for a THIRD TIME to account for innocent people in a crisis! This is no hero, this is a fucking psychopath.

Watched New Lily Vídeo just for boredom

Then i saw this

How can i say...

I FUCKING REGRET MY DECISION

[agramuglia]

I am starting to wonder if Lily's post about me isn't a self-ask. Part of me suspects it might be someone who doesn't like me poop touching.

Which illustrates the... flexible ethics of the Lily Orchard Critical people.

Here is the post, for the curious. Let me know. Self ask or poop touching?

Who sent this anon?

I want to make sure that I'm practicing what I preach in terms of accountability. I've done bad things. I've defended terrible people, overstepped boundaries, I've lashed out at people I called friend too many times. Insulted, berated, I've been selfish and mean and self centered.

There was a time where, in my constant desperate need to feel loved and accepted, I would perform like a dancing monkey in the name of whatever person my Codependancy had latched on to at the time. And that desperation lead to me being deeply vitriolic to people who were hurting just as much as I was. I was also incredibly pedantic, having petty arguments with people who I should have been working with. People I should have been kind to. In the end, that was why I left the commentary community. Because spaces like that have always enabled the worst in me. I just didn't;t notice it until what I had done to Spawn.

So when people like @britts-galaxy-brain say I'm a menace.. well, she has every right to say so. I have, in fact, been a bitch to people who, in retrospect, did not deserve it. Usually in defense of my own abusers.

So.. yeah. I am sorry to everyone I treated poorly over the years. You deserved better.

Holy crap, what's wrong with you? Just when I think Lily/Cd-call couldn't be more of a heartless lunatic, she surprises me.
