you would think with the decade-long common perception of tumblr as the “piss on the poor” website that maybe tumblr users would be somewhat cognizant of this tendency and make an actual effort to read what youre actually saying instead of responding to the argument that they made up in their head. but unfortunately many keep joking about pissing on the poor and just assuming its something other people do while theyre still doing it without an ounce of shame or self-awareness

playing stupid games but im really bad at them so im not even winning the stupid prizes

I love the DCAU to pieces and I think it's in the running for "best cape adaptation" generally while also perpetually sitting near the top of my subjective personal favorites list of all media ever produced.. That said. I've felt for years that they sidestepped having to come up with a satisfying answer to the thematic Dilemma they raised with the Cadmus arc (no such answer exists) by having Braniac Show Up Outta Nowhere So There's A Big Monster to Punch

Nonetheless no subsequent adaptation of Cadmus and Amanda Waller in particular has come within spitting distance of understanding or caring about the extent to which she Very Obviously Has A Point

And to circle back to the sotto voice observations in the original post- the DCAU handily mitigates the potentially apocalyptic narrative consequences of pulling such a huge thematic dodge by having a really, really, really cool Big Monster To Punch + The Flash moment of all time.

fonts will be named shit like viscera antique, 16 bit dreams, doctor's orders, bingo condensed, googly, wish you were here

I'm frankly frustrated with the coal vs nuclear vs solar debate in modern leftist circles. Ideology seems to be blinding us to the fact that the Lego rock raiders solved all this shit with power crystals.

"Waah waah but what if I don't like it when my intended-as-apolitical work gets analysed and people start claiming it has reactionary politics" so this can be avoided by developing a better understanding of politics

Love it when a character is like “I can tell you’re trying to smooth talk me and I’m fully aware you’re trying to manipulate me but it’s working. Keep complimenting me.”

Ah, you’re trying to flatter me. My one weakness! Keep going.
