Y'all need to stop acting like the criticism of the institution of oppression is the actual oppression. Eloise calling out hers, and every other woman's circumstances in Bridgerton is not shitting on them as people. The very idea of "love" and marriage being the only paths afforded to women is not a choice anyone can cheer! Like if you love someone and know that this "choice" is the only thing they're allowed to have, of course you're going to criticize it. It's crazy, just because you've found some happiness in the cage doesn't mean it's not there. And she's still there for her siblings, being a mindless cheerleader is not what siblings are, some of you need to get real with that.

the way people who don't understand the monty hall problem talk about it is one of the most bizarre and frustrating things like people will see an airtight proof of a mathematical fact and say "I don't understand this therefore it is false"

you can literally walk people through step by step, explain that the probability of getting it right at the end if you don't switch is the same as the probability of your initial guess being right and therefore if you don't switch your chance of getting it right is 1/3 and if you do switch it's 2/3, and people say "I simply disagree I think it's 1/2"

oh my god it finally makes fucking sense now!!!!! i’ve been confused for ever and ever and no amount of someone saying 2/3 vs 1/2 ever made sense to me cos i was like but now there’s only 2 doors in play so isn’t it 50%?? BUT NOW IT MAKES SENSE

Not to be dramatic about that finale but I think Varada Sethu should be allowed to beat RTD to death.

I have to say it. 'enemies to lovers' started going down the shitter when people began treating it like 'people who kind of annoy each other to lovers' ENEMIES to LOVERS is about if two girls FOR REAL want to KILL each other

Really the kicker about discussing colonialism intrinsic to certain fictional tropes/archetypes/genres/what-have-you is that white bitches et al get SO mad about it. "Ohh so I'm not allowed to play farming sims? Wearing a silly hat makes me a fascist now?" I was just exercising critical thought but yknow what? Just for you? Yeah it does

& it really speaks for... a certain way of thinking about how racism works, the way they'll jump to this dichotomy of Allowed vs Not Allowed. Cause that's not really how it works. If we actually wanted to simply #cancel everything with any sort of Historical Context or Unsavory Implications it'd never fucking end, due to the world that we live in. Good thing we're just telling you to think even a little bit about the ideas you engage with & this suggestion makes people Really Mad

It's that whole thing of, like, being more afraid of being labelled A Racist than really caring about minimizing harm. "Oohh this thing I like can't be racist because I'm Not Racist" no ❤

You know what trope I wanna see more of? Couples who have been married forever who are estranged but still in love but estranged. You know me better than any other person on earth. I haven't seen you in three years. I never stopped loving you. If I have to spend another minute in your presence I will murder you. I'm hurt and I need you right here with me. God you're such a dumbass. You're the only one I trust to do this job. I want you out of my sight.

I literally cannot stop thinking about how insane it is that assad zaman didn’t know he was auditioning for Armand like u are a relatively unknown actor and u go try out to be the vampires butler in a foundational piece of vampire IP, only to be actually cast as the oldest, most powerful vampire in the entire work and u inhabit that character so well that everyone watching cannot imagine this role going to anyone else, who else could capture that half blank half apocalyptic look?? How the fuck could he have ever just been rashid
