Being in a large fandom is nice because you’re open to the insights of different people and you get to experience the emotions of others who are consuming the same content as you. But it also feels like when no one has anything to add they default to complaining about any minor critique or different opinion that doesn’t even reflect the majority of the fan base or compare the piece of media to anything that shares one minor trait with it in order to prop it up, cause the thing you like can’t stand on its own merit.

Distinctly remembered how as a kid if I was being touched inappropriately by a classmate and I complained teachers would hand-wave it (except for one time and it was a kid I had problems with for awhile anyway) but I had a male friend who’d touch me in 5th grade and suddenly everyone including my classmates were upset. Like they’d go to the teacher and say he was bothering me when I was clearing smiling and laughing.

Just remember this fish my grandma had that was long, had whiskers, and white markings. It shared a big tank with one of her goldfish (she had like 3) and lived long after the goldfish died. It was always in its castle like vertically since there was a little hole you could see it through and one night it just came out and laid on the floor of the tank. I never saw it leave after that but it died years later. No one noticed at first due to its behavior so when my uncle realized and cleaned out the tank it was skeletal according to my grandma.

My mother is so inconsistent cause one minute she’ll talk with my family about how much I look like my uncle and in private complain that I look like a man. This is like when her pastor complained about the woke transing kids and his example was “When we ridiculed young girls for being gender non conforming they’d grow up and conform, but now they’re questing their gender and sexuality.” Like, if it weren’t for you guys I would’ve never thought of any of that in the first place.

I’ve finished volume 1 of The King’s Beast it’s still early but I think it’s funny that even though the ML is having ML moments with the protagonist but he doesn’t go on about how feminine she is. Everyone notes that she’s small but that’s it for the most part. I’m just used to the male leads in stories like this going “He’s so attractive… BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL!” Like the author is saying “no homo” whenever they want to make a scene romantic.

I remember when infinity Nikki first came out and I tried playing it but when I tried to talk to a male npc it just froze

one of my mom’s favorite pastor has the church chanting “Do not go to Gaza” and is going on about how they eat ppl. He literally repeated “They will eat you like gizzard” 6 times before repeated long the chant. According to ppl in Africa he’s a hack

Just watched an anime that had an aespa song as the op and some weebs were like “Anime music is way better than this.” Like what is “anime music” do you mean j-pop and j-rock? It’s not that serious but stuff like that drives me up the wall I can’t.

Just remembered that when I was a kid my friends would tell me about obviously fake deleted episodes that involved the protagonist of a TV-Y7 show committing mass murder, but in reality a deleted episode from a animated kids show would be deleted for mentioning periods or having a character hold a bomb only for the episode to be aired during a major terrorist attack.

I remember once I saw someone compliment Dandadan’s writing of Momo by saying “She’s a character, and not just a love interest.” And all the comments under the post were like “She is a love interest stupid the author made that really clear, do you even read the manga.” And honestly that should’ve raised my alarm bells and convinced me to leave the sub way earlier than I did.

If weebs can have slop isekai and women get to have slop dark romance doesn’t that mean kids should be able to have coco melon adjacent shows too? Also from an adult perspective it’s nice to watch a show where the biggest challenge the cast will face can be solved within eleven minutes.

Whenever someone tries to set themselves apart from others for having reasonable takes, they almost always show their ass in the middle of doing it. It’s a lot easier to get people to agree with something questionable if you wrap it in something more palatable and claim that the average person who would agree with the normal part of your take is actually the crazy opposition.

Had to read Death of a Salesmen for a class and my professor was talking about how great it was and Willy's character but Willy and Biff's relationship just reminds me of me and my mother so I just hate him.

Anyone else notice in shonen that there will be like the one character that is so powerful or unbeatable and no one on the heroe's team can defeat him, but the one or two characters that have abilities powerful enough or versatile enough to do that just happen to be out of commission. Like its so obvious that's why the author left them out and I'm just like "ugh just change their power or make it so they have a strategy that can combat the other character!" I saw it in MHA with the Mirio fight and I started a new show and I'm suspecting that that's why one of the protagonist is taking so long to recover from her anemia.
