:3

yeah

I freaking hate the zombies community that I have specifically observed on YouTube (and kinda on TikTok too, but I’m like 50/50 with that so), I guess specifically (what I’m going to guess) are like the cishet men of the fandom (also the literal target demographic for cod to begin with but whatever 🥹). Like, I see people talking about Richtofen’s sexuality, for example, and I see them play it off as a joke or just call him zesty, like no actually, with him having voicelines that suggest he’s HAD SEX WITH MEN THEN THAT MEANS HE IS QUEER!!!! OKAY, HE’S FUCKING QUEER, it’s not even just implication anymore because he himself states it! Or, the fact that Ult Takeo was implied to of been raped by the spider on Zetsu (if I’m correct) and I see the comments joke about it in ways which I do not remember, but it screams something along the lines of playing into rape culture and not believing men can be victims, and it just makes me fume. But yeah I just hate it. Also, I’m sick of seeing bo2 hate on TikTok all the the, maybe I’m just blinded by nostalgia or whatever they say, but some bo2 maps are peak :( at least in my opinion I guess

TO CIRCLE BACK, AND WHY I WANTED TO ADD TO YOUR POST: I've seen the defense of "it was a different time" for the call of the dead (2011) and zetsubou (2016) thing. Maybe. The internet was different back then. The only way to seriously discuss those topics were if you looked for them, and the spaces created were limited (by everything from censorship to word count). An open discussion of sexual assault only saw it's modern boon with the 2017 #metoo movement. STILL, I can't accept "it was a different time" as a defense. The community still leans on those instances for "funny moments", and Treyarch still uses rape as a card in their storyline playbook. Rape culture was always here, and continues to be. The only difference is that rape has gone from a device of comedy, to one of noble sacrifice.
