I honestly do hate it when people try to paint Remy LeBeau as an awful boyfriend/husband to Rogue. He’s not.

Does Remy have flaws? Yes, especially in the beginning! But, he grows from it and they both work through their problems TOGETHER.

I know Gambit did push some of Rogue’s buttons in the beginning of their relationship but he did grow from it if you actually read the comics.

Also to anyone saying “why doesn’t he just get Rogue to wear a collar or something?” Remy wouldn’t make Rogue do that, especially when he knows those collars do drain her. If she wants to put one on he will make sure before she goes through with it. He also experienced how painful one of the collars were!! So no he wouldn’t make Rogue wear one unless she absolutely wants to!!!

TW/CW// Talk of Sexual Assault

Also trying to call him a cheater feels super SUPER wrong to me because both cases of “cheating” I’ve seen people try to point out to me look more like sexual assault/harassment 😭 To me personally it looks that way, with how that woman practically drags him into that room after he constantly says no and then Mystique cornering him in his room and taking Rogue’s form 😐 also before anyone asks about that stupid Mystique situation; No. I do not think Gambit slept with Rogue’s mom. After how he tried to say he didn’t do anything and was shut down by everyone? Yeah no, I don’t think he did anything and everyone else was just being an ass.

Remy LeBeau has flaws, yes, but he’s not a bad boyfriend or husband. He and Rogue both have problems throughout the comics about their relationship that they both talk about and work out together.

God I’m genuinely sorry for all the rants lately. I promise I’m not a ranting blog 💀

Also everyone has their opinions! This is just mine! I personally don’t think either are bad. Feel free to debate with me or something in the comments or something.

I actually debated really hard with myself rather to post this or not, especially with the SH part.

I recently saw a post on Reddit from a small indie game dev team that was frustrated about how their game, which had a demo but wasn't out yet, wasn't receiving the reception that they had hoped, and was asking for advice on what they could do to improve.

The community responses were a bit hostile, but the dev in control of the posting account was really good about sifting through the feedback and finding what was helpful and compiling the feedback as changes they would make, and overall was very polite, positive, and receptive.

But what's stuck out to me is that this game dev team, which I assume were American because they were talking in English and had American voice actors in their game, had put their game in the JRPG category on steam. And the community said they shouldn't do that, not because they aren't a Japanese dev team and it's not a Japanese game, but because their game doesn't have a JRPG flavor and wouldn't fit in the "genre".

And I've been thinking about that for days now since I saw the post.

Can we please stop using JRPG as a genre? JRPGs are just as varied as anything. It's like saying all anime is meant for the same audience, or all manga. There is not a JRPG flavor.

A comment left on a video about the JPRG The Dark Spire that has plagued me since I saw it said "Can you really call it a JRPG when it's heavily inspired by western table top games?" And like, yeah bud, it's a Japanese game that was localized so you could play and enjoy it, the J in JRPG means Japanese. It doesn't mean a specific flavor or genre. Pokemon does not have the same flavor or genre as dragon quest, or etrian odyssey, or persona.

Sorry to go in a bit of a rant, but, just seeing an American indie RPG, set in a medieval European setting, be labeled as a JRPG, and then have people disagree with that for the wrong reasons, I'm still dealing with the whiplash.

There is a very different world view involved in how one is raised as biologically male or female, obviously

But I think on this today in particular when I examine how I explained how a teacher acted inappropriately to me in high school to two different friends

And how inherently male vs female view their responses were

And I don't fault either of them for it because I think that is very much a product of how we are raised to see the world when it comes to that

If it wasn't so revolving around my trauma I think I could glean something more from it but right now how vastly different those responses were to me describing the same experience is all the novelty I can gather

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

The envy Arthur and Lancelot would have had for each other must have been insane.

Because Merlin is secretive with Lancelot. He tells him things he would never tell Arthur, he opens up to him and Arthur knows he can never have that trust. Never have that closeness not while he’s king and Merlin a servant.

But to Lancelot he’s been secretive about protecting Arthur. It all resolves around Arthur, opening up about protecting Arthur, giggling over using magic to please Arthur. Lancelot knows it will never be him on the other side of the devotion not like this.

just like he will never be Gwen’s because she loved him once yes but at the end of the day it’s Arthur she chooses.

and in Arthur’s eyes Lancelot is Gwen’s first love will always be known as such and will always be looked at as such even if she loves him she loved Lancelot first and Arthur can’t help but think if she could have him she would.

Anyway I’m so sane about them and at the end of the day how they still understand why it’s like this because they would choose the other as well.

Being asexual and possibly aromantic but also being a huge shipper and hopeless romantic is such a wild experience ngl. I'm always freaking out about my favorite ships and giggling internally reading ship fics, getting invested in characters finally kissing or reading about their pining and their love and I think "I want what they have!!"

But then sometimes you have a slamming realization that your sweet shipping scenarios you imagine in your head look totally different irl and that you are extremely aspec.

One time I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and stumbled across Vsauce's "Why Do We Kiss?" video and let me tell you. When I saw that stock video footage of two people kissing each other I was a little flabbergasted lmaooo

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.
