Why ya'll hate on Cait and call her a dictator?
Well-written characters often have a story deeper than what you explicitly see them do or hear them say. Just because everything is set in a fantasy world, doesn't mean that characters are not affected by tragic events and the human condition.
First of all, Cait wasn't the one who made a police state. Ambessa and the council did that. Ambessa orchestrated the whole thing. Cait went along with it because she was turned around by grief. That shit messes with your judgment, but she was still trying to do what she and Vi agreed on. To focus on the real problem and prevent hurting innocent people.
Cait tried to control an unraveling situation AND literal warlord WHILE being inexperienced in how to deal with it, having a big ol' lesbian break up, AND dying inside.
You could see that when Cait argued to Ambessa that there are innocent people and there MUST be justifiable cause to arrest anyone. In Cait and Ambessa's interactions it's implied that Cait was getting in the way of Ambessa's agenda off-screen. She tried to keep something worse from happening because she does acknowledge the historical and current oppression of Zaunites.
This mirrors the way she offered Vi the badge to give her a voice in what happens to her sister if the enforcers caught her. The enforcers coming after Jinx was going to happen regardless of Cait. She took control by volunteering and taking precautions. See- While they did use gas, Vi would never agree to something that would permanently hurt the people of Zaun. The tactic gave them fewer chances of having to physically fight Zaunites who were just trying to defend themselves. Believe it or not, it was a controlled operation until grief got the better of Cait and things looked worse than it actually was.
The way that Cait deeply believes in equality in spite of a personal vendetta is why Ambessa sent Maddie to try and control her by 'filling' her hole (no pun intended). When Maddie attempted to have Cait stop the police state situation and withdraw, she did focus on Jinx at first but the second part of not wanting to make things worse was something she had a lot more to say about before Maddie interrupted. And Cait was right. What would have happened if she hadn't taken the role and played along? A puppet councillor or Ambessa herself would have been the figure head and do so much worse. Those people don't have the same perspective and understanding as Cait.
When Cait and Vi argue about listening to a war pig oink poison in her ear, she yells "I know!" as she throws a piece of war ship used in strategizing. You can tell her role was a strategic choice to have some control over the events that unfolded. That's why Vi didn't villinize her. Vi understood that Cait never really accepted anything Ambessa said. That's why she helped Vi at the commune. Cait was a double agent taking shit from all sides to stop worse things from happening.
She had grief and really crap options, but she always chose the lesser of the evils to try and stay true to who she really was. She even resigns in her argument with Vi, that she didn't put Jinx, her own mother's killer, in jail or punish her in any way. It's another example of her faltering in decision-making when overwhelming or unexpected things happen and it also tells us what she is. She's human. She doesn't make excuses for taking on an objectively bad role and making mistakes. When she said "We can't erase our mistakes.", she's also talking about herself. She takes responsibility and tries to do good. In the end, all she wanted was closure for her grief by having Jinx accept responsibility NOT by killing or abusing her or innocent Zaunites for that matter.
Imo there's a lot in Arcane that shows Cait as a flawed but inherently good person, and Vi absolutely knows it. They see each other warts and all. If you think CaitVi's lex scene was poorly written read this: https://www.tumblr.com/turbolezgooo/768190482340773888/bro-this-outrage-about-caitvi-relationship-in-s2?source=share

Some Isnootreal-Supporters are making fun of Pro-P**lestine Supporters, for not knowing which sea and river are being referred to, and as a result, they're disregarding our viewpoint on the issue.
So for you guys to b*sh them with your knowledge, the phrase refers to the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Being a gay is just like she wears short skirts I wear tshirts and what must it be like to grow up that beautiful and please don’t be in love with someone else and you’re so gorgeous I can’t say anything to your face and sometimes when I look into your eyes I pretend you’re mine all the damn time and friends look at each other like that and I don’t want you like a best friend and for you I would fall from grace just to touch your face and you touch me once and it’s really something and I’ll do anything you say if you say it with your hands and no one has to know what we do and we might just get away with this the altar is my hips and I don’t want to keep secrets just to keep you and you weren’t mine to lose and I never had the courage of my convictions and I’d live and die for moments that we stole and so you leave no trace behind like you don’t even exist and just like a folk song our love will be passed on and the rumors are terrible and cruel but honey most of them are true

Tatiana Maslany was literally insane for playing like 12 different people with the same face and then interacting with multiple versions of herself for five whole seasons

"EvErYoNe HaS aDhD ThEse dAyS"
No, being easily distracted by phones and media isn't fucking ADHD, do you know what the FUCK it is?
- living your whole life feeling like you're defective and broken
- feeling like a failure even if you try BEYOND your hardest and burn yourself out bc it's not enough to keep up with the Neurotypical pace of the world
- hating yourself for being literally, PHYSICALLY unable to do things - even things that you love! (*the last 20 minutes of one of my favourite movies glare at me in absolute fury from the corner*)
- being called a liar by your loved ones bc you didn't do something or forgot something or messed up anywho - "just do it, what's the problem! Just don't forget!"
- getting so angry about the dumbest thing you feel like you're physically about to explode, yet being unable to even express that anger bc you'll be yelled at or punished for it
- in regards of the previous point, also having the emotional regulation ability of a fucking cabbage
- having your abilities to function so inconsistent you don't fucking trust yourself anymore
- having to fight 25 bajillion mental barriers every day to do the SIMPLEST FUCKING ACTIONS
- getting SO STUCK in a deep hyperfocus on what the fuck ever which isn't what you have to do and panicking w each moment you cannot rip yourself out of it and do a productive thing
- not having a sense of time and either being late all the time or being WAY too early everywhere bc you got so fucked by your time blindness you're now getting everywhere way before you have to
- having ZERO self esteem. Fucking zero.
- being told to "suck it up" or "it's not that bad stop whining" when sensory stuff bother you, sometimes to the extent of being gaslit
- just fucking hating yourself for existing
-oh also being bullied and hated for your "weird obsessions" and having to hear stuff like "stop talking about [hyperfixation] no one cares!"
And the list go on and fucking on, I could keep it going forever. I'm so pissed off at this shit, and do NOT get me started on how poorly this fucking condition is named, 'attention deficit' is our smallest fucking problem
(Also, everyone's experience is different, I'm just talking about my personal experience - it's okay if you don't relate to it! It doesn't invalidate you as a Neurodivergent individual. Remember to take care of yourselves❤)
