rant, rant, and rant

this is just a ramble account and somewhat of a vent acccount, but i won't be posting about rants and vents all the time

you know what i think would be good? i think some of the girls (marinette, kagami, alya, even lila) should get a proper backstory since that'd be a good direction in the show as the show is supposed to be a girls power show.

Zoe too.... if you're trying to make someone hated(IE. CHLOE) you got to give the other person better standing!! And abackstory!!

[ventandrantyourheartout]

i agree, but i think chloe deserves better (i think she'll actually get a redemption arc in the movie that's going to be released this year since it's not directed by thomas astruc) too. all we know is that her mother and her father (?) is possibly the reason why she was a bully.

Where do people get off on saying Marinette is not Chinese enough?

She is not supposed to be, she is biracial.

Everyone Claiming that her not being able to speak "Chinese" (Wu or Mandarin) is racist, clearly hasn't actually encountered that many Biracial people. Some parents don't force their children to participate in their culture, if the children don't want to. (Adrien's mandarin is completely unrelated to Marinettes inability, and his pronunciation is a dub issue not a story issue)

As someone with Biracial family members, this insult is very very familiar to me. And yes that is what it is, an insult. You can't deny someone their heritage just because they don't fit the way "their/our kind" should be.

Also if you think that Sabine is a bad representation of an Asian Mom because she doesn't scold her daughter enough, you need to touch grass.

Hoo boy, this is a thorny topic.

Look, personally, I think Marinette's level of Chinese-ness is fine. There are different experiences people have with being biracial, and Marinette represents one of them.

Never heard the "Sabine's bad representation of an Asian Mom because she doesn't scold her daughter enough" thing, but yeah that's bunk. That represents some Asian moms, but it's hardly all of them. Besides if you're looking for that representation, Tomoe exists.

[gameguy20100]

So Sabine is a bad example of Asian mothers because she treats her daughter like a person rather than an accessory like Tomoe does?

Is that take racist? It feels racist.

i agree that saying that sabine has to be more strict to be a accurate asian mother is racist, but miraculous ladybug IS racist. nobody is saying that marinette's chinese side has to be in your face all the time, but it should be mentioned in at least some episodes because thomas brags about how he knows about people of color. in the china special, they had marinette go there because adrien was there. they had adrien, a french guy who's not a person of color at all, explain chinese culture to her and know more chinese than her. they barely allow marinette to explore her chinese side. and with kagami, they make her wear a school uniform all the time when she's not in japan, at school + no school uniform skirt in japan or anywhere is that short. and they made her wear a kimono at the cinema, which no one wears that at the cinema. please listen to actual asian people and people of color before saying all of this nonsense. miraculous ladybug does not have valid representation of people of color and it's obvious that they don't care about people of color, because if they did they would fix things and thomas wouldn't be ignoring the people of color criticizing him for his choices made in the show regarding asian people. i get that some of you guys like miraculous ladybug, but please don't excuse the clear racism in the show. it's there. there's no denying it. and just because marinette is half-asian doesn't mean that she's not a person of color anymore. she's still chinese and she's still a person of color. saying that is like saying half-asian people in real life aren't people of color anymore because they're only half-asian. half-asian people should still learn more about their asian side. what's the point of making marinette half-chinese if you're not even gonna give valid representation and let her learn more about her chinese side. this is coming from a person of color and many asian people have said the same thing.

[ventandrantyourheartout]

let me say something.

it's so offensive that they had marinette be chinese yet they didn't let her explore her culture. in the china special she only went there because of adrien. adrien, a white guy, knows more chinese than her. there's nothing wrong with white people knowing chinese, but the fact that they had him know more than her without letting her know much about her culture and had him explain it to her is sickening. nobody is saying that her chinese side has to be talked about all the time, it doesn't, but thomas brags about how he has people of color in his show so he could at least give valid representation. and the fact that they gave kagami a school uniform when she shouldn't be wearing it unless she's in japan at school (and even the school uniform is inaccurate; school uniform skirts are not ever that short) and made her wear a kimono (not a yukata, a yukata is more of a thing japanese people wear when out of a bath house) to the cinema. just because marinette is half-chinese doesn't erase the fact that she's a person of color. you don't have to be fully chinese to pass as a chinese person. i'm saying this because someone said "marinette isn't chinese, she's half-chinese". that's like invalidating every half-asian person. just because they are half-asian doesn't mean they're not asian anymore. miraculous ladybug is racist and does not have valid representation of asian people. accept it. listen to asian people and other people of color before defending your favorite tv show.

[ventandrantyourheartout]

thomas astruc (he LITERALLY said this): we try to shove adrien into every conversation ever, even when marinette or another character is on screen

adrien stans: screw marinette screw the writers marinette stole the spotlight for adrien in the story she's shoved into every conversation ever she's a mary sue and the world always revolves around her even when it shouldn't!! she deserves to suffer and she's the worst character ever!!

[ventandrantyourheartout]

telling marinette haters that marinette isn't a stalker anymore and that what she did was wrong but was due to impulsivity

[ventandrantyourheartout]

i'm sick of people acting like asians are so perfect and so innocent when they're literally not. not all of them are bad people, but a LOT of them create problematic content and when americans call them out on it, a lot of people like to defend asians by saying that they wouldn't care about what americans have to say. excuse me, but just because they don't care about what americans have to say doesn't mean that they are in the right for making problematic content or that they are innocent. these same people stereotype americans. in fact, asian themselves stereotype americans, and if americans were to do the same thing to asians, they'd be labeled as racist. even them simply being uncomfortable with what asians create is labeled as racist when it's not. it has nothing to do with their race. it has something to do with what they CREATE, and there's no denying that most of that problematic stuff literally originates from japan/japanese people. it's not okay to stereotype asian people, but it's not okay to stereotype americans either. and don't even get me started on the people defending asians who create problematic content. they're very ignorant and hypocritical. they act as if we try to give fictional characters human rights when we're not. fictional characters don't have rights, but REAL PEOPLE, especially REAL FUCKING MINORS, have a right to be uncomfortable with the sexualization of characters who are supposed to be teenagers/children. and these assholes criticize americans for complaining about the content that asians create and tell them to stop complaining WHILE LITERALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT AMERICANS. that's pure hypocrisy. another thing is people like to silence minors when they express their discomfort of seeing characters AROUND THEIR AGE being sexualized and people make up excuses as to why the minor shouldn't be uncomfortable and tell them minor to stop complaining when they're literally trying to take RIGHTS from REAL MINORS and they make REAL MINORS feel like they can't have a opinion about anything.

Evil triumphs when good people do nothing

A line quoted by the main protagonist and our titular heroine in season 1. Marinette aka Ladybug

And yet when evil was unmasked she chose to turn a blind eye to his actions.

She chose to turn a blind eye and turn of all sense of logic and sense of reason.

She chose to ignore her own conscious and all the cruel and psychopathic manipulative actions PAST AND PRESENT.

And she gave evil exactly what he wanted. She gave Hawkmoth/Monarch aka Gabriel Agreste what he wanted!

Did she forget how he emotional and psychologically terrorized her, her family and her friends. How he manipulated all of them. Did those events get erased from history?

No. She found someone else to blame.

She couldn't allow her love one's father name to be sullied so why not scapegoat the girl no one likes as the bad guy?

Why? Because she had so many chances to change and everyone around her has "tried" to "help" her. (Lies always make hypocrites feel better about their double standard morality.) But as her once close friend said "You'll never change."

Evil doesn't triumph when good people do nothing. It triumphs when "good" people play favorites on who deserves redemption and who is beyond it.

Marinette you are not a hero in my book. You are selfish, entitled, manipulative young girl who thinks because she's nice and people like you she can get away with bias behavior and playing favorites. You did nothing to help Chloe when she was suffering and instead you pushed her into the arms of her abuser. You knew Chloe was falling behind in class and you did nothing.

"Evil triumphs when good people do nothing" Without good people to hold us accountable or help us become better we fall victim to the sway of vices that we know.

That is exactly what happened. Evil triumphed because their were no good people to stop them.

Just complicit and blind eyed fools.

[ventandrantyourheartout]

not you blaming a 14 YEAR OLD girl for not knowing how to deal with a abuser. it's literally not her responsibility and you can't get pissed at her for not knowing how to deal with that situation. and marinette is not manipulative. it's true that she has her flaws and she ain't perfect, but she has mostly learned from them and you can not blame her for chole's situation. you chole stans are so annoying.
