What do you think of the fan perception that hua cheng falls right within the themes that is criticized in tgcf which mean he’s amoral but gets away with the “heinous” tings he does because he’s the love interest, the idea is he had no right to get revenge for xei lian and killing the ghost in that mountain was wrong

1) Idk this discourse, so idk what theme Hua Cheng supposedly falls into that tgcf criticizes because 2) the most “amoral” thing about Hua Cheng is that he runs that gambling den, and it’s not like he tricks people into it or forces them to participate. Following up on 2, idk what “heinous” thing(s) he’s done that he “gets away with” seeing as the worst he is is just not being nice to the other gods, in which Xie Lian also joins in when the mood strikes him lmao. Hua Cheng getting revenge for Xie Lian is absolutely within his right because Xie Lian is his god to defend the honor of, and his “revenge” was challenging those gods to… a fair round of debates and spars that they agreed to then shamefully tried to back out of the consequences once they lost. As for the ghost in the mountain bit, I need a refresher on that cause idk what you’re talking about.

The one thing I really like about this drama happening in 2025 is that there’s been time for people to go away from dsmp fandom if it was a toxic experience and heal, so now all the og heavy hitters are back and ready to start swinging again

“people think eddie’s gay because of his bad relationships with women and that’s problematic” is honestly the most bad faith interpretation of why people headcanon and/or think of eddie diaz as queer.

the way his relationships with women have been is a factor in some of those headcanons (especially when discussing compulsory heterosexuality but that’s a whole different can of worms) but it’s far from the only one and it’s not even the main one for a lot of people, it’s just one of the easiest to point to. (esp the way eddie and ana were written, imo, however not so much with marisol and the whole kim situation, which is clearly about shannon and how he needs to get over this big bump in his life, but i digress).

i just get tired of people deciding everyone who thinks there’s a good case for eddie being queer must be Problemtic™️ or only thinking about their otp or whatever.

the fact of the matter is some queer people do have really complicated shitty relationships until they come to terms with their sexuality and it isn’t problematic or harmful to say that. hold people accountable, for sure, but people - even queer people - are complicated and messy and confused and shitty and implying that it’s problematic or even homophobic to headcanon/think of a messy, complicated, confused, broken person as queer is, quite frankly, offensive.

also it’s so interesting to me that it’s problematic to think Dating A Man might do some good for eddie, if he’s queer, but it’s okay to think dating tommy has helped to heal some parts of buck, that figuring out this part of himself actually did help heal him.

because shockingly, figuring shit out about yourself can help heal you.

it’s the same problem i have with people talking about eddie’s isolation and how some of the discourse around that makes me feel weird because why is the only way for eddie to heal to be isolated away from everything he loves but that’s never been the case for literally anyone else on the show.

idk man. some double standards exist around eddie and it’s weird. if you don’t think eddie is queer that’s fine but it’s insulting to trying and twist queer eddie headcanons into some kind of problematic thing because some of us actually relate to him and the reasons why we think he’s queer are because of that. so.

this is one of those posts i feel like i should probably leave in the drafts but the whole thing has been itching me wrong for a while. i’m sure 0 people will agree with me and that’s fine. i just need to get it out.

disclaimer: as the worlds most basic white bitch i’m not really sure if i have a leg to stand on in this topic but i’ve been thinking about it a lot so i want to throw my 2 cents into the void anyways.

i’ve been thinking about how since encanto came out there’s been fighting between the queer and latino communities about the headcanon of certain characters as queer. and to me i think there’s two main categories of lgbtq headcanons; projection/just for fun and “explanation.” sometimes you see a character that isn’t contextually supported as queer whatsoever, but it would be fun if they were or their your blorbo so you want to project aspects of your own identity onto them (both of which are fine things to do); and then there’s “explanation,” where a character’s personality or actions can be explained better if you read them as a certain identity (happens a lot with aromanticism in my experience.)

for encanto, characters like camilo aren’t really supposed to be read as queer, a shapeshifter teenager with identity issues is obviously relatable to trans people, but mostly a lot of people saw him and went “yeah that one’s genderfluid” and that was kind of it. from what i can understand, the real problem comes with the explanation type of headcanons, specifically with luisa and isabela. people are taking aspects of their characters that are already perfectly explained by cultural factors and the theme of generational trauma, and attempting to dismantle racist stereotypes against latina women; and trying to force the explanation into the box of white queerness instead, which is of course, racist

i’m sorry are you really actually seeing people say the episode is bad because eddie wasn’t in it? because all i see is people complaining about people saying it, i haven’t seen the actual evidence it’s happening

I mean… yeah? literally saw someone saying they’re drawing out the “rat storyline” until they can bring Eddie back from El Paso.

That’s certainly… a thought. I guess.

Some twitter user: No one is saying that Orym should stop talking about his trauma

The tweet right after: Orym needs to stop talking about his trauma

Shocked to see discourse on Sydney Novak’s sexuality, I thought the show made it incredibly obvious that she’s a lesbian. Not just that she likes women, they made her disinterest in men very clear through that scene where she said she suddenly realized why she didn’t like Stan. I haven’t watched the show since it came out so I can’t go too in depth with this but her journey was very clearly leading in the lesbian direction to me, like they could not have made it any more obvious. People need to learn that media analysis goes deeper than what’s shown on screen, a large part of it is being able to read between the lines. I think that’s why a lot of canon queer characters get their sexualities denied by the fandoms, some fans just refuse to use their brains lol

idk who needs to hear this but you can hate taylor swift without siding with the ai porn guys. disliking her isn’t an act of misogyny but ai porn of her is an act of misogyny despite her whiteness and wealth and power. like this is fr my problem with most ppl who hate her - they just abandon all of their principles when it comes to her. like we do realise she can suck and also not deserve nonconsenual porn made of her right?

(anon bc i'm not really part of the fandom) 100% agree with what yall are saying about the lack of boundaries regarding spencer. i opened the smosh tag to a post talking about how badly OP needed to suck spencer's c*ck.........its not only parasocial, but so disrespectful and CREEPY. OP and the community they're apart of should be ashamed of themselves.

oh YIKES

I really don’t get why Pei Ming is considered bad for sleeping with lots of women. Is there evidence he’s pressuring/exploiting them or is this just fandom prudishness?

He very plainly told the general from arc 1 that it was a fling, he didn’t want her to betray her country for him, and that he wasn’t going to marry her.

Not saying he doesn’t earn his spot as one of the Three Tumors in other ways but I don’t see how this is a problem

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say that Pei Ming is bad because he sleeps around? At least not anyone who’s made a popular post off that idea. I’ve only seen his manwhore tendencies remarked on for comedic purposes.

recent twitter discourse under the cut bc I hate everything good in the world and love making myself suffer

It just frustrates me so much to see Doc and others hounded so much on twitter for not speaking out about the genocide in Palestine. Of course I have to preface this discussion with saying that yes it is terrible and it’s morally correct to speak out about it and offer resources. However (and I mostly see this on twitter) a lot of the pressure being put on ccs to post about it is not only performative but in fact harmful to the ccs’ wellbeing AND to the cause it’s meant to support.

All the tweets I’ve seen about getting the ccs to post about this issue sort of have this air of moral superiority to them despite coming from a place of genuine concern (I assume), like these youtubers have some moral obligation to do stuff for their fans. Serious world issue aside I think this comes from a very parasocial place, this idea that ccs owe their fans whatever the fans want to ask of them. They’re not your friends. They have thoughts and opinions that you don’t see and they have the right to develop their thoughts themselves just like any other person. So much of this demanding stuff dips into harassment territory and it’s just so disappointing to see.

The worst part, to me, is that the statements that ARE given at that point are meaningless too because they come not from a place of genuine thought and emotion about the issue but because a bunch of twitter users demanded them to talk about it. Maybe they would be able to make a statement more meaningful and helpful than just ‘hey look at these three links’ if they were given the grace everyone else is given to study the issue and speak out if it means a lot to them.

The ccs don’t owe you anything. Get over yourselves. Do what you can to support Palestinian voices, donate, signal boost on your own platform and stop pretending it’s some huge moral failure that a minecraft youtuber won’t tweet what you want them to.
