I'm sure some of the "it's inappropriate and weird for adults to have any interactions with minors at all!" people have good intentions, but sometimes I really do wonder if some of them say this because they just don't like the idea of having to think about what they say or do to other people, haha. And like, ok, if that's how you're approaching human interactions, maybe you (personally) SHOULDN'T be making friends with minors! But also, maybe your interactions with other adults aren't as "ok" as you think they are either?! If you truly think that it's "impossible" to be friends with a kid without "exploiting the power imbalance," that doesn't give me a lot of confidence that you're not trying to exploit other people in your life but think that's ok because they're your "equals." Are "adults" just people you can be a creepy jerk to without getting in trouble for it?
I know that no one likes being told that they can't just do whatever they feel like whenever they feel like doing it, but interacting with other human beings healthily requires thinking about how your words and actions might affect other people, whether they're "minors" or not. So sorry, I guess! 🙄
Something that really bothers me about the rose coloured glasses vis a vis tellius and fe fans (ESPECIALLY from 3h fans who learned about tellius later) is that many like soren purely because of his main ship (i mean i like ikesoren too but come the fuck on) and jokingly characterise soren as a stereotypical nasty mean limp wristed sarcastic gay man instead of a deeply flawed branded angry at the world and definitely trauma bonded to ike, but micaiah is still absolutely getting raked over the coals over the blood pact and not being ike’s fangirl
Well,
Jokes often involve flanderisation, so Soren being flanderised to oblivion when people joke about him isn't something I really care about, but maybe that's because I'm not really fond of Soren to begin with lol
What annoys me more is when some people try to rationalise Soren's anger and backstory by either pointing at Almedha or Deghinsea being responsible for everything, and I'm like, what.the.fuck?
Almedha's just, idk, I won't call it sexism, but damn - that woman loves her son who is the only reason why she hasn't completely lost her mind over 1/losing her powers 2/being casted away like trash by her "BF" 3/being rejected by her dad 4/thinking her brother was tortured and abused to death because of her actions 5/being separated from her beloved child.
Deghinsea being "uwu bad bcs he's the reason why brandeds are rejected by both beorcs and laguz" is another take I really am not fond of, and iirc I wrote a post earlier this year about it? But to some people who buy the "Crusts BaD" as the reason why Fodlan sucks, I guess they need to have someone to name and pill all of the world's nonsense rather than, well, in Tellius' case, realise that the worldbulding and the lore really sucks, to the point where the duology touted as the most "against racism" of the franchise, is pretty much way more racist than anything Tru Piss can throw us (yes, because in Tru Piss we have characters rejecting coexistence, in Tellius, it's the world mechanics - whenever a Beorc and a Laguz coexist too much, the Laguz dies...).
As for Miccy,
Just like, imo, Soren gains some "new" attention and "uwu excuses for why he's being a snarky jerk at times", Miccy used to be bashed when FE10 was released (with all the Mary Sue accusation being thrown around!) because she was written to be a sort of foil/antagonist to Ike, and when the party reunited, she was demoted to a "soul-jar" role, let it be regarding the greater plot, or, even, her own backstory!
TBH, for people who didn't play FE10, if Ike is the bestest thing since melted cheese, Miccy, who opposes him, must be BaD and so you can pile everything you don't like on her, hoping to see it stick.
Or even worse, I've seen posts here and there comparing Miccy to Supreme Leader and how misunderstood uwu she is, which is the worst insult poor Miccy ever received since FE10 came out rofl
The temptation to vague about something in the milgram-confessions blog because its something thats bothered me for Actual Years about certain fandoms vs letting it go because when it is brought up its actually done somewhat tastefully and reasonably which makes me happy and this anon probably didnt mean it in the incredibly bad faith way I keep on seeing it be repeated so really Im getting upset over nothing.
I’ve really noticed a direct correlation to men in their late twenties, thirties literally going on forties with little to no distinguishable differences between a preteen/teen male nuisance in tastes, media intake, personality, attraction to women (literally no matter how much they age being attracted to women and girls they were attracted to when they were literally teens 🤢) and even jargon and consumption of alpha male content/a sexual kink to dominate women. It’s all kind of embarrassingly blatant that I don’t know how they don’t get soft partaking in it anyway, it’s clearly to consempate for what they know they lack in society and how they know they are seen by women their age. Yet instead they continue to beg the world why their perspectives and entire manhood aren’t taken seriously. Bro legitimately read a book, put the porn down, focus on your career, go outside and see a therapist. But don’t start a family, because I’m not convinced even therapy can fix a person at that age and they shouldn’t be allowed to be around kids
