Why “cringe culture” destroys creativity 

Why queer history is often erased (this one is literally just about historial laurens x hamilton fyi but i just wanted to sound more formal)

Why diversiy in childrens media matters 

How school systems are not created with neurodivergent students in mind 

The harmful affect of allornormative society (ofc i would have to explain what allonormativity is for this speech but it is something im very passionate abt so could be a very good one) 

Why society is weirdly obssessed with gender 

Why trans people shouldn't be treated like a polticial debate instead of real pople 

Why I believe the plot of the horror fiction podcast The Magnus Archives was manipulated entirely by the fictional entitity known as The Web (I LIKE THIS ONE A LOT LMAO) (but i feel liek its not as deep as the others plus i might spend too much time having to actually explain what magnus archives is i dont have a very long amount of time??)

Why ADHD creates great (yet insanely suffering) dungeon masters (the insanely suffering part is for humour but idk if the neurotypicals share my sense of humour lmaoo)

If you liked the Good Place or Michael Schur stuff In general, I highly recommend his book "How to be Perfect: the Correct Answer to Every Moral Question."

The audiobook in particular is delightful. It's narrated by Schur, with cameos from the Good Place cast.

It's a great way to learn about complex moral philosophies in a way that is both fun and entertaining, and also relevant to everyday stuff.

He has a whole section grappling with what to do when a person or peice of media or something that you desperately love turns out to be evil. He discusses how we can deal with that while not supporting something or someone evil, but also coming to terms with the fact that this thing will always be a big part of us (his example is Woody Allen, but I found it very relevant the whole JK Rowling thing).

Anyways, if you found the glimpses into moral philosophy on TGP interesting and want to learn more, I really reccomomend this book.

there is a meme that says one of the worst things about adulthood is that no one ever asks you what your favourite dinosaur is.

that does suck.

but I realised the other day that no one asks what your favourite planet is either. wth?

The binary term normal-pathological could be used to sanction social norms and social fears deeply felt by the masses with the approval of medical science. The terminology could also be used effectively to enlighten or persuade a non-scientific public because it is conceptually isomorphic with so many other binary terms that regulate the perception of social life: moral-immoral, criminal-honest, sane-insane, violent-passive. The power to pronounce on the nature of the norm and its pathologies gave nineteenth-century medicine a social authority out of all proportion with the numbers or the status of doctors. This power gave to medicine and its ancillary sciences the right to mediate between the general public and deviance, to pronounce on its causes, and to devise its cures. Medicine gained its social power because experts shaped a medical discourse that spoke to all those problems in comprehensible language, which appeared to many contemporaries to be an accurate portrayal of the world. The widespread influence of medical discourse about deviance had, as we shall see, profound consequences not only for the “pathological” part of the population, but also, as with any binary relation, for the “normal” one as well.

Would you consider Mako as one of the biggest victims of Bryke's poor writing.

I mean I really feel bad for the guy. They promoted him as "Zuko without angst", they really ship-teased him and Korra to death, his character was in a spotlight and THEN when they ruined him (and I think it was not made on purpose, because I believe Bryke didn't even get what they've done wrong), everyone kinda turned away from him and Bryke just jumped the "make-a-fool-out-ot-Mako" train. They just...blamed him for their bad writing and called it a day.

Honestly, a level of pandering to the fans on Bryke's side in LoK was so huge, I mean if they were THAT desperate when Atla was still on-going we probably would've have a terribly written Zutara (thanks but no thanks)

Also let's not forget that, apparently, 'Iloveyou's do not mean anything in this freaking show and that also off-putting to me

Lol! No. Not by a long shot. Hands down I believe the biggest victim of their horrible writing (not to mention their misogyny) was Katara. They screwed her over in Book 3 of ATLA, in the comics, and in LoK. I feel bad for Mako, but ultimately he isn't substantial enough for me to particularly care what happened to him.
