It’s hard for me feel to attached or interested in straight relationships in media because usually its in two types of formatting; one being a women and a man are in relationship because they are a man and a women and the writer says “they can’t just be friends and have strong platonic feelings towards each other. We have to force them together because I have not unlearned how the patriarchy still bleeds in my writing and would have to learn how to ACTUALLY write intimacy.”

Wanted to get something off my chest before I combust into fire. I watched all of smiling friends (expect for the finale of smiling friends) And after a while a wave of disdain fell over me as I sat with the show. The characters and plot are not bad. It's not even the premise. I just HATE how the women are portrayed in the show. All of the girl characters that are introduced are minor or have no importance to the show or episode as their own person. Key point their own PERSON. Any of the girl characters that are in episode are there for a male character or just for humor.

Sometimes I feel like people in the gachiakuta fandom fail to use media literacy. For example, It rubs me the wrong way when people diss or make fun of dear for still having his pacifier. So many people in the fandom make fun of the fact that as he gets older his teeth will become pacifier teeth. And yeah I am not gonna deny that dear will have difficulty with his teeth as he gets older. But it makes sense for why dear still has his pacifier. We gotta remember that dear grew up on the ground and as we know its filled with things the rich threw away so most of it is not in great condition let alone toys or necessities for kids or babies on the ground. So putting two and two together I could theorise that maybe deers pacifier was the only thing he had that was safe for him to use and something to sooth him. With everything we know about the ground there probably are not a lot of pacifiers in great condition for little ones. And even more evidence to his attachment to his pacifier this is literally this dears vital instrument! We have been given information time and time again by Kei Urana and by the show that people with vital instruments are very attached to their instrument and sometimes see it as a person or another extension of themselves. So yeah no doy deer is going to still have his pacifier and be attached to it.

Happy pride month.

Makes me feel upset seeing people or fandoms consume a piece of media that is quite beautiful and appealing whether with character designs or backgrounds. Giving love to the beautiful background artist is amazing and so important to praise the people that make character designing. And at the same time I feel people consume it SO much all they see is the aesthetic they have built and DON'T look into the underlining world building the artists were trying to convey. And never look deep into the meaning the writers built for their characters in said media.
