I think a super under-talked about aspect of Kieran is that he's genuinely pretty misogynistic. Which is understandable nobody wants to go "yeah my little meow-meow treats the women in his life like garbage" but I'd go so far as to say it's pretty crucial to understanding his character. His ideal self he tries to build in the Indigo Disk falls into a lot of patriarchal archetypes, a man who is strong, respected, idolized, and a leader and provider for the League Club. He tries to override Ogepon's agency in Teal Mask by insisting he be her trainer when she wants to go with the protagonist, assuming he's entitled to Ogerpon simply because he was obsessed with her. This is especially considering he hardly interacted with her the entire dlc, instead choosing to go off training or telling the village about Ogerpon behind her back. Carmine takes a lot of this, too, with Kieran being basically entirely dependent on her to solve all his problems for him and immediately turning on Carmine the instant that isn't the case. Kieran's furious about this up though the very end of the Indigo Disk, even when he had supposedly become more independent himself and had been nothing but awful to Carmine the entire time. All of this goes doubly if the protagonist is a girl. Though, I do also genuinely think it speaks to a lot of personal growth that he takes losing to Nemona in Mochi Mayhem with a lot more grace than we'd previously seen from him and asks how Ogerpon is doing in the clubroom.

Yep! I'd say moreso pre-festival Kieran on the Berdly-isms because Kieran does genuinely reach some pretty egregious incel behavior in regards to how he treats Ogerpon but this is loosely it yeah. He's a sheltered small town kid it's not behaviors he's consciously exhibiting

guess we need to be circulating this psa again. This Is A Fucking Trap. Do Not Participate.

this reads like a video game loading screen

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

And whatever you do, don’t watch that awful movie Stonewall.  Go watch a documentary on Marsha P. Johnson instead.

there’s a wonderful documentary on netflix called the death and life of marsha p. johnson! very powerful watch.

every white person ever should reblog this

why do we never hear about this?

The POC members of our community are the foundation!!!!!!!!

Always up for helping spread some important history

Same, especially when it’s about one of my favorite historical figures

Do not forget the ban waves that occurred in 2016 and again in 2020 that purged large numbers of black users off of the site.
