I can't find it now but there's a post about suspension of disbelief and how it's broken when the story starts trying to excuse it. "character gets knocked unconscious for hours but there's no further issues from this" okay 👍 "and actually this makes perfect sense because of this and that" um no it doesn't why are you lying to me. like i am willing to ignore the holes and the discrepancies!! all you need to do is let me and not bring unnecessary attention to it!!!
and all that is my issue with the whole robin child soldier argument. like i am willing to ignore it i am willing to engage with the fantasy literally all you need to do is NOT try to convince me that Actually It's Fine Because They Want To Do It or whatever. like literally just shut up about it and i can engage with the fantasy!!

Story idea of a take "human fell into media and took over a character's body."
Set far before TFP, a human wakes up upon a slab inside a body that's not theirs. "Tell the Master, she lives!"
As much as I enjoy the "Sam Witwicky time travels to pre-war Cyberton," he had the approval and semi-guidance of Primes and the Allspark to work his way through Golden Age Cybertron.
What happens to a human who didn't have that protection? Only basic knowledge via the show and online discussions? Now, they need to navigate the treacherous waters of High-Caste society, the cultural and moral shocks, and the immense systematic pressures that allowed them to take over an empty frame.
Specifically, the exploration of an alien planet that has commonalities with Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, Victorian England, and Gilded Age America with space trade.
Much like the tragic Cassandra, warnings go ignored at the most crucial shatterpoint, and the war still happens.

The idea that Tommy, a closeted gay man who was desperately trying to fit in in a hyper macho and discriminatory environment, isn't allowed to have any growth from when he was over compensating and was a dick to Chim really pisses me off. He literally had canonical growth to the point he was going for drinks with Chim and Hen in Bobby Begins Again and they got him a fancy leaving cake.
Why isn't he allowed to grow and be better? Because he's white? Because he "gets in the way of buddie"? Because no one is allowed to say and change at all over a decade?
Like this is a queer fandom and I'd bet a lot of money that a ton of people in this fandom said and did things they weren't proud of when they were younger, especially before they came out so they could try and hide it.
I know this is quite a young fandom too but like, it was literally only a decade ago when "gay" was an insult at school and doing anything that could be get you accused of being gay was fucking social suicide. You guys have no idea how lucky you are that people at least get called out for that shit now cause they didn't when I was a kid. I would have done almost anything to just be ignored, let alone accepted, rather than being openly bisexual.
So yeah, I think Tommy is allowed to fucking change as a person because Bobby, Chim and Hen came into his life and allowed him to stop repressing. Stop being such fucking assholes. You aren't any better than him, and frankly the way some of you behave makes the way Tommy acted when he was first in the show look like a fucking saint. Touch some grass.

israeli terrorists gang-r//ped a child for 3 days in 1949
from ‘state of terror’ by thomas saurez
notice the recent isr//eli obsession with imagined stories of brutal violent 'pelvis-breaking' - sexual violence enacted by Palest/n/an men onto isr//eli women - projection, at its finest. every zion/st accusation is a confession.
similar to how isr//elis faked stories of 'babies baked in ovens' by Palest/n/ans, when, IN FACT, it was isr//elis who threw Palest/n/an babies into burning ovens during the Nakba of 1948.
REMEMBER: the events described in the picture happened in 1949, meaning it is very likely that these isr//eli r//pists are alive and well today, living safely in stolen Palest/n/an homes, encouraging more isr//elis to go to G//za and massacre and r//pe Palest/n/ans. on Oct 7th, many claimed that the murder of these r//pists is 'terrorism' - i disagree. to me, at least, it is justice. this justice must be served to all isr//eli r//pists and murderers. anyone who holds the isr//eli citizenship is either directly involved or indirectly complicit in this violence.
