Never Fading Brainrot

I thought this the SECOND they described Hiccup II as a bit of a blonde wild child.

Imo it then makes me question, could Fishlegs be like Hiccup I? cuz if so it would be the most beautiful ironic thing in the world cuz it would mean OUR Hiccup, Hiccup III, would be aided on his quests to bring peace between dragons and humans by friends who mirror his namesake

Artfight attack on @noodlecruncher of her oc Vivian!

Here's her artfight: noodlecruncher, go attack her!!

people always say that internet spaces are americanised because the users are majority americans.

and i do always wonder how much of that is "there are actually a majority of usamericans" and how much is "usamerican cultural markers are a default for many online spaces, and non usamericans are often indistinguishable from usamericans unless you're actively looking".

so here's an incredibly unscientific poll reblog for reach or whatever

Well you see. There was a good gif of the new harry potter series on my mutual's blog. And I reblogged it.

Less facetiously: people are allowed to think whatever they want about jk rowling. However, the most-sold book series in history doesn't just... y'know, vanish from culture at-large because people stopped liking its author.

For the past decade and a half the political side of fandom culture has continuously been trying to turn Harry Potter into a shibboleth. Originally it was that you showed you were a good progressive ally by comparing every conservative political figure to Voldemort and the Death Eaters and anyone opposing them as plucky young adult protagonists. I distinctly remember the exasperated refrain of "read another book" because political discourse was just that oversaturated with such comparisons.

And then Rowling went against the mainstream progressive grain on gender politics and went from a celebrated leftist figure to The Actual Devil more or less overnight, and suddenly the way to show off how enlightened and progressive you were was by how much you hated the series and how hard you could harass people who didn't hate it enough. It has progressed firmly past the point of any actual criticism of the books or of rowling herself and into 'if you like this thing or are even neutral towards it, it is because you are The Outgroup' territory. It's boogeyman thinking.

It's going into random people's inboxes to try to passive-aggressively police what they put on their blog and throwing a fit when they don't bend the knee, or sending mass death threats and verbal abuse to streamers for playing a video game. It's seeing someone reblog a gif and responding with "by doing this you are literally killing trans people," an accusation that is self-evidently, absurdly false to everyone who doesn't already believe it. At its best it makes the person saying it look like they have absolutely zero sense of proportion, and at its worst it becomes functionally indistinguishable from any other form of internet harassment that seeks out a veneer of self-justification.

Doing the right thing will have terrible consequences.

They do the right thing.

They suffer for it.
