I'm perfectly fine with people criticizing my favorite stories and frequently do it myself but can you stop being so boring about it

"This scene made me so uncomfortable" given the subject matter, it would be really, really badly written if it wasn't.

I'll say it again, a loading screen tip in Borderlands 3 has a dumb joke that goes something like "Maliwan guns have a bonus 'cool' stat, but it's not visible because you aren't cool if you have to say you're cool." This is advice that the game pointedly fails to take because Borderlands 3, at all times, feels like it's screaming "I'm so cool aren't I cool don't you think I'm cool?" Which is really the least of the game's issues in how it portrays itself.

i have in fact contributed to the preservation of my friends' and comrades' lives by being someone it is safe to open up about suicidal thoughts to without fear that i'll snitch to the cops. this is the single biggest factor in preventing suicide attempts imo. a safe person who adamantly refuses to punish you, even if your attempt makes them angry, scared, and sad.

it’s ok to feel big emotions when your friends want to die. of course you feel that way. You love your friends. But your love has to be big and strong enough to move past the feeling and toward generative action, even when it’s hard.

This is really important and I hope I'm not derailing, but even if they do kill themselves in the end (my best friend did), it's still better to not have called the cops. The cops wouldn't keep them alive. In all likelihood they would traumatize them worse, put them in a less survivable position. Calling the cops is the wrong thing to do. The message that keeping them alive no matter what is predicated on what you do keeping them alive, and calling the cops almost certainly won't. Knowing you have friends who you can talk to about big horrifying scary things that could put you in legal trouble safely might.

I like Susie Deltarune a lot. She's just not a kind of character you see very often. For the amount people pretend to love bully female characters, there's shockingly little actual representation of what makes those charactersaact like that. To top off that she's got a non feminine body type and presentation, its just nice to see. I look at Susie and I imagine a kid, maybe 12 or 13 who was kind of a bully last school year realizing that doesn't have to define them for the rest of their lives. Its a message I wish I'd seen at that age, and one that I think is pretty powerful. She's also just fucking weird and we need to let more women do shit like eating chalk.

There was a massive shift in how our culture understood morality when, after World War II, the general public realized “just following orders” was not an excuse for crimes against humanity. Now we need another moral shift in which we decide, as a culture, that “for the benefit of the stockholders” is not an excuse for anything.

We kind of need to relearn the “just following orders” part again

a lot of my favorite mangas are in that "this is technically erotica but the world building and characters are so good I'm gonna read this for non-horny reasons" kinda space
