your posts have made me like jack and dabb era a LOT more
Glad to be of service. I LOVE the messy stuff, and I actually think Jack's struggles were well-rendered.
Jack's "cuteness" is a shield for his turbulence in the same way Dean's feistiness is a shield for his.

i have always wanted a c section bc the idea of vaginal labor looks a lot more terrifying and physically difficult and is probably sth I couldn’t withstand and don’t want to withstand and I feel like everybody’s kinda being like an insane fucking asshole to women who choose c sections bc while you DO lose mobility and have to heal from major invasive surgery you are like. not having back labor for 48 hours hopefully. i think u can even ask to be asleep

child abuse tw
god i genuinely hate and despise the woman who lives one floor below us she has a 2-ish year old daughter who's just learning to speak and you will literally hear the woman scream and curse at her at the top of her lungs for little things like spilling some water (you can hear every word she's saying bc the walls at our apartment building are insanely thin) and actually explicitly calling her "stupid" and threatening her with physical violence and stuff like that. we've been living here for abt 4 months now and in that time i have only heard the daughter laugh joyously like twice but i hear her cry hysterically without any word of comfort from the mother practically every day my parents are seriously tempted to call social services on her pretty much on a daily basis at this point bc the rest of the apartment building doesn't care in the slightest im just like actually at my wits end as to how someone can treat their own TWO YEAR OLD child like this like do you genuinely think your daughter is going to remember you fondly when she grows up. abusive imbecile

Not sure if that post is about hp but it does feel like it lol. I understand people wanting to offer alternatives and I myself have a complicated relationship with it, but I wouldn't expect people to necessarily fall in love with alternatives I give them the same way they fell in love with hp.
post in question
HP definitely get this a lot. GoT got this a lot too while it was airing. I've seen it to a lesser extent with same smaller fandoms-- Twilight, for example. All of these series have their problems, in terms of quality, writers/showrunners doing weird shit, and things that make you go hmm within the narrative. But they didn't get massively popular by accident, and whatever drew you in probably isn't something as shallow as "I like magic schools" or "I like vampire romances." So when people are like, "oh, but you can just read THIS instead," as opposed to just "here's some vampire romance novels you could also try," then it's sort of like.... no, not every vampire book is interchangeable? Why are you acting like it is, and like whatever people are getting out of X should automatically also exist in Y?
Also, while we're here, "you're a bad person if you engage with this fandom, and you should only engage with morally-approved media" is actually one of the worst takes this website has churned out. Let's take GoT as an example that's less likely to get me hatemail (although one of my favorite games is looking up the URLs of people who post about how even looking at a HP fic means you are directly donating to bigoted causes and then seeing how long I have to scroll before OP talks about a Disney-owned fandom). GoT has some excellent, complicated female characters. It also has a lot of hypersexualized nudity and gratuitous sexual assault. On lists of "alternative" shows, I would frequently see Netflix's The Witcher. If you haven't seen The Witcher, here's what happens in episode one: the MC meets a complicated female character who wants to kill her rapist. The MC refuses to "pick a side" between her and her rapist. He sleeps with her. Then the woman is killed by the MC. If you were trying to point someone at a high fantasy TV show with dark themes that "treats its women right", why the fuck did you pick The Witcher? Is it because you don't know how to analyze media and just look for a laundry list of Bad Things, like actual on-screen sexual assault? Do you not understand why people were mad about all the sexual assault on a thematic level? Like, okay! You found some obvious bad stuff in GoT, good job! Every other piece of media will have its own Bad Stuff, and it's up to individuals to decide what crosses their own personal lines (which YOU DO NOT GET TO DECIDE) when picking what content they consume.
