#especially children

the fact that like... its so dehumanizing for both adrien and kagami, background characters in the show certainly didnt treat them as such, and neither do their parents. (kind of ironic, considering they're sentimonsters.... but whatever)

and gabriel does what he always does when adrien says something about it, gaslights and manipulates adrien to think its ok (adrien knows its wrong, its just hard to fight back when his father does this) "isnt this what you wanted?" "it could be this or how it was before" giving adrien the illusion of choice, making him pick the better of the two when he wants neither

and also its canon that most of the world has alliances (like a replacement for a phone) who now have these REAL. LIFE. PEOPLE. as AI avatars who are also might i add children?? which is so weird??? hello???? i fear it would be kind of weird to have like. alexa, siri, etc. be like children but they're just a voice, and not based on real people (hopefully?? i dont know) and generally an adult voice.

but it WOULD be weird to, say, have some famous child/teenage (since adrien and kagami are right in that ballpark (14)) actor be you're little helper in your ohone talking to you all the time... thats.... weird....

When the test subject they told you was aggressive is actually just angsty and autistic

.

I figured if Wheatley were a human he would probably be part of a team that cares for test subjects. Which involves basic medical checkups and general wellness checks. Maybe in Chells case, since she’s so anti-social, he was tasked to be a sort of companion so they could get more information out of her for testing purposes. :3 he’s classified as a nurse and has basic training in it. But he’s not making sense because he’s kinda scared of Chell at first. She just thinks he’s weird and kinda smells bad.

.

I have a hc on why Chell is a test subject I’m just gonna try to write it here

literally the only posts i’ve seen talking about this movie have been stuff along the lines of “nick nelson being a bottom was not on my bingo card”

like. can we not? these characters are children. and sure teenagers are allowed to have sex and i think the show itself did a great job of representing childhood sexual experiences without overly sexualizing them. but of course, on the internet, everybody’s going to be sexualized no matter how it’s portrayed in the show.

i just wish people paid more attention to the message of the movie than just purely focusing on sex. because while yes, they did have a couple of sex scenes, that’s not what the movie is about. it’s about discovering who you are as a person away from your romantic relationships. it’s about learning how to communicate with your partner even when you don’t want to upset them. plus, there were so many little, beautiful moments that nobody is taking about.

a small boy being the first person to show up for the LGBTQ+ club that charlie organized.

mr. farouk and mr. ajayi dancing together at prom, surrounded by students cheering them on.

tori talking about how, although her relationship with michael is quite different than a typical relationship between a boy and a girl, it is still valid and they still have each other.

elle being scared to go to pride because of how difficult it is to exist as a trans person in the year 2026, then leading an entire float full of queer people chanting about how they want trans rights. 

nick helping a scared dog become more confident and thereby getting her adopted and smiling for the first time since breaking up with charlie.

mr farouk saying that queer people have never asked permission to exist.

two older men ordering coffees at the cafe charlie works at and just being another old married couple (one of which was played by sir derek jacobi??? what???)

the movie itself was just okay but it really shined in these little moments that really encapsulated the queer experience.

The video was a little girl, about 5-6, who looked to be obese, opening a dumpling toy for her birthday. The girl did nothing wrong, she seemed happy and excited. The issue comes when you open the comments.

It was full of people saying "too bad she can't eat it" or "I bet she ate it after" and "she was hoping it was a burger" ect ect ect.

I would like to say, it is disgusting to talk to a child like that. She has no control over what she is fed and how much she is fed. NO ONE should be speaking to her like that.

On the other hand though, there was only ONE comment calling out the parent. I scrolled for a good long while, and only once did I see someone mention how this poor little girl is obese because of what her family feeds her. I personally think feeding your kids into obesity should be child abuse because of the health concerns, but even ignoring that, you should never put a child's face online like they did.

I think this is the difference between being "fatphobic" and anti-obesity. That little girl did nothing wrong, her parents are the ones who are hurting her. A child being a bit chubby or having impulse issues with food is one thing, but it is completely different to feed your child to that state, one that is very difficult to get out of.

I am aware that there are rare conditions that can cause childhood obesity. This is made under the assumption that they child does not have one due to the statistical unlikelihood, but I would still like to mention it.
