it’s so weird how much fandom cares about what actors say like lmao i literally don’t give a fuck. i watched that show with my own two gay little eyes. i know what happened

What pisses me off is the youtubers who go "Ah jeez I butchered that name". Bitch this is a scripted production. You have literally all the time in the world to look up the proper pronunciation and say it right. You can do research for your fucking neopets deep dive but when its time to pronounce a word in Chinese suddenly you're helpless. Go fuck yourself for real.

the thing that the "who cares, let people have their fun" crowd fail to realize is that no one is stopping you from doing that, but there's also a reason why it's being pointed out and criticized on a relatively large scale. and that reason is that you are so deeply entrenched in adherence to societal norms that you have to force any and all characters to conform too. you are incapable of recognizing this goes against not just the canonicity of a character's portrayal but also against the media itself. question Why you are forcing characters into unfitting situations beyond just "because i want to" and you might see that these milquetoast tropes and scenarios are heteronormative and conformist. it's not simply that mac and dennis are "toxic yaoi" and as such would Not Do That, it's the fact that there is a fundamental lack of understanding regarding how relationships and the people in them may work outside of a very narrow perspective. if you don't see them hit milestones, it doesn't qualify as a serious relationship. they have to say i love you, have to kiss, have to fuck, get married, have children, because these are commonly accepted symbols of lust and love. anything outside of the norm Doesn't Count. even though you are being shown and told outright that this is Already a relationship in many ways, you still can't recognize it as such due to social conditioning. this goes beyond people "having fun", having headcanons, or things being ~taken too seriously~ or being party poopers, or whatever else. even if it is unconsciously done, what is actually causing this "discourse" to take place is an assumption that all relationships must inevitably end up in the same place, and that anything that doesn't is illegitimate or unrealized.

stop!! saying!! those!! fictional!! gays!! are going to GET MARRIED!! and HAVE CHILDREN!! or even fucking!! BE COMMITTED PARTNERS!! not every pairing is White Suburban Family Lite!! FUCK YOU [*throws things around the room with my mind powers*]

whenever people speculate on how sunny might end i always see a bunch of people talk about how the gang should die horribly because they don't deserve a happy ending. and i guess they don't, but what if i wanted them to have one anyway 😭 or at least. a bittersweet ending? of course they're terrible and they've hurt so many people, both directly and indirectly, but imagining them meeting some terrible demise doesn't feel satisfying to me. sometimes i wish i could just decide everyone has suffered enough and pull them all into a cloud

the “fuck canon everything is made up do whatever you want forever” approach to fandom can be fun in small doses but i find that subscribing a little too hard to that attitude can lead to this belief that serious engagement with and analysis of a text is an act of no fun self-flagellation when that couldn’t be further from the truth. analysis is literally fun
