i think david dobrik is a really good example of the way laws basically function as suggestions for rich people and i think it’s especially interesting that his vlogs and his content basically just document that phenomenon. all of his videos and his stunts (most of which are dangerous) are cause for arrest, if not a citation. not to mention, he documented ON VIDEO nearly killing one of his friends with an INDUSTRIAL CRANE, posted it on the internet, and faced ZERO legal consequences except for his friend suing him for 10M dollars (which is a PERSONAL legal choice... not a state ordained one).
I just think that david dobrik is a really interesting look into the sheer difference with the way the law treats rich people vs how it treats everyone else. and it’s all documented on film... on his youtube channel. it’s absurd to me.
the next time u think that the law sees everyone equally... all it takes to prove that wrong is a glance at the shit he puts on his channel.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Sometimes I’m reminded that in universe Chilchuck is an actually influential figure who like. Made huge advancements for his people and community. Like as in gave them rights and protections. And who is widely known by half-foots because of that. Like. He’s not just some guy.
Idk For some reason that just makes his role in canon really funny to me. Like this older, extremely important and accomplished figure is just willingly putting himself thru it for the sake of this random autistic 26 year old.

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.
