#i fucking hate yall

[sky-is-the-limit]

How the fuck is this all we get from Gaz?! The main character in the background, you cowards.

[asrionsun]

i think im gonna leave the bg3 fandom entirely. [im sure no one cares, i dont contribute. im just ranting into the void for my own sake.] i hate pretty much all of the people in it because of their takes. its just disgusting, and its harming my mental health. its entirely ruined my enjoyment of the game, so im gonna abandon that too. [not to mention every update ruins more, takes more away, and alters it to fit the fucking terrible fandom views and leftoverdev bias of a story and characters that were once unique and wonderful.] im sick and tired of the abusiveness of the fandom toward the characters, the dismissal and belittlement of trauma, the fetishization, the ugliness of the way certain characters [gale specifically, but not ONLY him] are treated so fucking poorly and the insurmountable hypocrisy.

having to face the fact that so very many people are absolutely incapable of critical thinking and read things so extremely wrong - not able to parse emotions, cant read facial expressions and body language, cant/dont understand the story and the meaning of anything presented, miss the symbolism, can't understand inflection and delivery of lines and their emotional weight, the entire lack of comprehension of emotional and mental states or story elements and... everything else. its dragging me down so badly.

humanity is shit, people are complete and utter shit. it just sucks so bad, and everyone has destroyed any and all enthusiasm and joy i ever found in any of this because most people lack any depth or experience or ability to relate to anything without changing it to suit them entirely, thereby altering and ruining the story and its characters and flooding the entire fandom with head canons and misinterpretations until no one makes or discusses anything that isnt something run through a game of fandom headcanon telephone until its become unrecognizable and just... utterly hurtful and lost from its origin.

i... really hate yall. i dont understand why yall cant appreciate characters as they are. why do they need to be so entirely different for you to enjoy them? if gale doesnt suit your ideal, dont change HIM, go find a different character that fits your ideal instead. so when those of us that DO love actual gale go looking, we meet each other and get to see GALE. not some altered unrecognizable version that doesnt have any resemblance to the character we loved, who looks and acts entirely different. i fucking HATE yall.

[sky-pen]

Holy shit, yall need to realize that it's a VALO GAME, and this is the reactions that you get when you don't play well or be a HEALER. SHE GOT UPSET OVER NOTHING THOSE TWO GUYS ARE IN GOLD AND WE ALL KNOW GOLD VALO LOBBIES SUCK. we get it that chamber and iso want to rank up but oh my god, the chamber was ACTUALLY FUNNY IN A RUDE TONE. YALL ARE JUST FUCKING PUSSIES WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO TINA. YOU BABY HER SO MUCH THAT SHE CANT DO WANT SHE WANTS. LET HER BE HER OWN PERSON AND GROW FUCKING THICK SKIN. yall need to stop defending her when she has issues that don't pertain to yall if she shakes when she plays valo then she needs to stop playing valo. and yall if she ever played CSGO o7 to yall who defend her because she'll rage right left and center with how many assholes there are on that game.

And Dylan was an antagonizer for the iso and chamber

ALSO WHY DID HER MODS UNPUBLISH IT MY GOD DO YALL SUCK UP TO HER THAT MUCH THAT YOU CANT BEAR TO SEE HER IN TERMOIL SHE NEEDS TO KEEP IT UP TO SHOW THAT SHE IS ONLY HUMAN AND THAT THESE MEN ARE ASSHOLES. what if a girl was just starting to play an FPS game and was very nervous about it. They go and find her twitch channel, sees that she plays valo and the girl gets excited because, a woman is playing valo. Only to find that her most recent vod is a highlight that doesn't have the valo content in it. So the girl goes to her duos channel and sees this NORMAL VALO GAMEPLAY happen and wonder why she got rid of it, because it shows how shitty guys are when it comes down to FPS games like valo.

[fairuzfan]

i have a special hatred for liberal zionists who say "you're not helping Palestinians" and pretending to advocate for us. keep our names out of your mouth. you do not speak for us. only talking about how you feel victimized while we watch people die of bombardment and starvation. i would rather you admit your selfishness than for you to pretend to care about us only to use us for your own self interests.

[gnarlyimp]

stop drawing henry winter as a twink or ill kill myself he is literally desCRIBED AS “AS STRONG AS AN OX” STOP MAKING HIM SKINNY STOP STOP STOP STOP

[dawnbreakersgaze]

The fact that Dr Zayne is saving people who want to live

And Dawnbreaker Zayne is mercy killing people who want to die

And both are obsessed/disturbed with each other across space and time

Really has me fucked up in a lot of ways and I'm not okay about any of this

[felsicveins]

His heart belongs to another

And no other heart will do

[lotus-pear]

regret

[toytulini]

listen im ace and im pro kink at pride and whatever, but the way some of yall are wording your posts in response to the backlash against it is uh. really taking me back to the ace shitcourse era.

yall know theres nothing wrong with being a "virgin", right? that its not inherently shameful to have not had sex, to never have sex, even if youre not ace, even if you do want to have sex someday, like, its fine that you haven't had sex?

maybe if your problem is that theyre trying to police your behavior and shame you for expressing your sexuality, you can say that? instead of resorting to "haha stupid virgin gets no bitches" like my god. do you not hear how fucking regressive that attitude is? i know, i know, youre "joking".

get a better joke

[milimeters-morales]

no but literally we need to take Prowler Miles away from these 20 something year old white women until they stop making him their “gangsta boo” just because he has cornrows and is the Prowler 😭😭 yall don’t even try to hide your disgusting feelings and attitude towards a young black kid and it’s honestly sickening. Why is he all of a sudden a toxic boyfriend? Why is he all of a sudden borderline or downright abusive to people? Why is the 15 year old black latino boy, that we know next to nothing about, all of a sudden fitting the worst stereotypes for black/latino men? Do you have any legitimate reasons for any of this besides, “he seems like the type?” Because you know what that sounds like, right? And i can’t even filter these out for my own peace of mind because you don’t tag your shit properly.

[nessberry]

Nothing will ever piss me off more than just how badly ppl drag the "mu qing left xie lian at his lowest" that it has to come up at every single talking point and is twisted at every turn to make Mu Qing into an irredeemable monster. like yes you're so right. Mu Qing should have let his mother die all alone. Mu Qing should have priorized his employers over the only family he had left. Mu Qing definitely wasn't at the lowest point of his life either. Only Mu Qing should never be forgiven for anything "bad" he ever did. For whatever reason. Literally fuck off.

[an-exasperated-hades-kid]

So I've been seeing a lot of will solace hate, and I'm here to defend my son.

First of all, he's not a toxic person at all he's a human who can mess up at times and be unintentionally rude, like in that one scene boo where he says

‘Oh, please.’ Will sounded unusually angry. ‘Nobody at Camp Half-Blood ever pushed you away. You have friends – or at least people who would like to be your friend. You pushed yourself away. If you’d get your head out of that brooding cloud of yours for once –

^ that is rude but he didn't have bad intentions because according to him nico wasn't scary and the people that he hung out with - Lou Ellen and Cecil- didn't think that nico was scary either as they were both friendly towards him when they met him at the Roman camping area outside chb so while his delivery wasn't good he meant no harm and he also helped nico realize that not everyone hates him and then there are a few jokes that he made that people consider toxic or offensive but nico was never offended or sad about these jokes he only rolled his eyes and acted exasperated so he knew will meant no harm .

Will is canonically described as a laid-back and calm person, but he is also stubborn when it comes to certain things like medical related things which is understandable since he can feel everything physically wrong with a person by just touching them and is persistent that they don't die and Take care of themselves which is understandable since he saw majority of his siblings die and doesn't want more ppl to die .

Will is actually quite a complex character he's calm and laid back but he's stubborn and strict when he needs to be he's supportive and loving to nico but since he's a kid he struggles with being understanding sometimes hence why he asks persephone for advice on how to be there for nico properly showing that he's mature enough to ask for help . He's also someone represses his emotions because he thinks that as head counselor, he has to be a perfect example, and he told this apollo in the 1st toa book. He's also pretty insecure about his abilities, as shown in boo

Evidence:

You did,’ confirmed Nico. ‘But it was the way you did it. You made it clear that you wanted me around. You said you wanted me to come to the infirmary and help, because … because you could use a “friendly face”.’

‘It was true. And you did help.’

‘You brought me closer instead of rejecting me,’ Nico said, his voice cracking. ‘I’d never been called a friendly face. Ever. You made me rethink everything – my place in camp, my crush on Percy, my future. It took you scolding me like you were the camp director to make me realize that I was … wanted.

___

But with Nico … It’s hard, Persephone. I want the best for him, and he seems to disappear into his darkness, like he’s hiding in a place where he doesn’t want my light.’

‘Then why not offer him your darkness

_____

Nico sighed in exasperation. He hated working with other people. They were always cramping his style, making him uncomfortable. And Will Solace … Nico revised his impression of the son of Apollo. He’d always thought of Will as easygoing and laid back. Apparently, he could also be stubborn and aggravating

_______________________________________

In conclusion will isn't toxic and he isn't perfect and if I'm wrong about something please point it out cause I haven't read the books in a while and if I missed something please point it out and I'm sorry for the typos I wrote this without wearing my glasses as 3 am after studying for a test

Forced Arbitration Added to Discord's Terms

First up: forced arbitration is effectively a legal way (in the Unites States) for a company to stop you from suing them. It means if anything happens that is sue-worthy (say they massively fucked up and people's data got stolen en masse), you would not be allowed to sue them.

Instead you'd be forced into a process called arbitration which is private (you wouldn't be allowed to speak on what was going on publicly) removed from the courts and handled by arbiters who were selected by and beholden to the company that did the shady/illegal thing (Discord, in this case) so your odds of getting anywhere are basically zero.

The good news:

You can opt out of this bullshit pretty easily. You just need to send an email clearly stating that you are opting out from the email address associated with your discord account.

Unfortunately, you only have 30 days from April 15, 2024 (or 30 days from your account's creation if you made a new one) to send this opt out email. So you're gonna wanna get on that pretty quick, even if you don't ever imagine you needing to sue Discord, having the option taken away from you is never a good thing.

The email you need to message is:

arbitration-opt-out@discord.com

Again you need to send from the email inbox associated with your discord account, you should also save the email after you send it so if you need to pull it out and wave it in someone's face later you have it handy.

The email doesn't need to be in depth or long, just something direct and simple like:

"I am writing to opt out if the arbitration clause added in their most recent update to their Terms of Service."

Remember, just because you don't think you'll need to does not mean it's okay for them to be shady and take the option away from you.

Go forth and be spiteful my dudes

i hope we continue to see more protests within the US military. i see a lot of leftists and folks who are anti-military who have such an open disdain for the people who are in the military, yet neglect to considering the conditions this country makes to produce ideology, poverty, and the illusion of choice to make all kinds of people choose to enlist in the military. You ever see those videos of ROTC kids recording each other asking why they joined the military and everyone's like, "healthcare", "it helped me go to college", "I was bored" or "free ptsd lol". I hate to remind everyone but folks who are in the military are people, too, and they are the same victims and perpetrators of violence as the rest of you, we have all been shallowly conditioned to view each other as enemies just because one person is wearing army greens and the other is not.

some of the biggest anti-war advocates are those who engaged in war. Veterans who genuinely believed they were protecting the US against "terrorism" come back with blood on their hands, and they choose to realize that it was US imperialism that forced them to carry out violence, instead of doubling down and shielding themselves from the fact that they too are capable of atrocities... This is a class of people who are intentionally conditioned to be as poor and as ideologically aligned to US imperialism so that the military has a never-ending pool to send their youth to destroy other country's youth. The only people I have ever heard say "do not join the military" are those who ARE military.

This is in no way to ever excuse or explain away any of the atrocious war crimes and violence this industry and its people have committed against others. What I am saying is that we absolutely cannot cast aside the individuals who have been victimized within US imperialism, even if they are wearing army greens. I was speaking with my Palestinian classmate last week and another classmate--a member of the US air force-- walked up to me and struck up a conversation. My military classmate showed me her new bird, bid both of us goodbye, and left. My Palestinian classmate asked me if I was close with her, and I said we talked quite often, and she said, "I never met a person who's in the military. I still hate the military, but I never knew that they did, too. I didn't realize that they were also victims."

If my Palestinian classmate--one who is actively watching her own community die--can understand that it is not individuals who are the problem but it is in fact systems, US imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism...why can't we all? And she has EVERY reason to hate any individual military member. A lot of online activism just creates more barriers. if your optics look bad, complicated, or contradictory, you are cast aside. Everyone has got the be the perfect activist, you can never make a mistake or share a half-baked thought, you should always believe every word from a marginalized persons mouth (because being marginalized doesn't mean you're not entrenched in white supremacy too!) and you should never question what you see...Do you know what you sound like? The very imperialists who are convincing poor whites to vote against themselves. Perfectionism is white supremacy. Black & white thinking is white supremacy.

I'd rather have a military member who genuinely believed in the US imperialism machine but was disillusioned after being deployed as my comrade than some leftist who cherishes the performance of "being a good person". I don't want "good people" in our movements. I want humans who care. I want humans who make mistakes and who learn from them. I want humans who accept the messiness of a person. I want humans who hold others accountable and allow themselves to take responsibility for their actions. I want people who change for themselves and others.

fight systems, not individual people. we can change each other, but if we're too preoccupied looking like the World's Perfect Activists, we will only consume each other alive. Connect to your fellow humans, forever and always.

Some people seem to need this reminder.

"neurodivergent" and "neurotypical" was never meant to be a personality trait.

"neurodivergents are good at ___". And then lists some random human trait that anyone could be good at.

"neurotypicals are bad at ___". And then lists some random human trait that anyone could be bad at.

Whatever trait or symptom you seem to think makes a person "neurodivergent" is wrong. It's not a diagnosis. It's not personality. It's not a condition. It is an umbrella term for a bunch of disorders/conditions. If you don't have those then you're not ND, no matter how many "traits" you think you have.

"allistic" means not-autistic. It does NOT mean NO disorders/conditions.

Allistic still includes anyone with a disorder/condition that just isn't autism. INCLUDING anyone and everyone under the "ND" umbrella that isn't autistic.
