every year or so tik tok starts debating who the “real mean girl” was in mean girls and i’m just so baffled by the lack of media comprehension. the point is that they are ALL MEAN GIRLS. Yes! Janis was a mean girl. But so was Regina. All of the girls were mean girls!!! That’s what the gym scene is about, every girl gong up on stage and admitting something horrible they’ve done to another person.
It’s why Cady’s character had to be home schooled and not just transferring from a different school. It had to show you that everyone is capable of being a “mean girl” because high school is kill or be killed. It’s so easy to hurt others in the name of protecting yourself. Even girls who were kind and wanted to be kind succumbed to being a “mean girl” in order to make it through the day.
Mean Girls isn’t about right vs wrong. It’s about hierarchies in high school, it’s about the performance of femininity, it’s about toxic femininity, it’s about expectations and the desire to be accepted.

Deciding to hop aboard the angst train; A scenario where Mario decides to face off against Bowser or whatever villain by himself, much to the dismay of his friends and his brother
Mario: You guys stay here!
Luigi: Where are you going??
Mario: I’m going to stop Bowser. I need you to stay here and make sure everyone stays safe.
Luigi: No! We’re a team, remember? *holds Mario’s shoulder* Nothing can hurt us as long as we’re together!
*Mario takes in his brother’s words, but ultimately decides he can’t take the risk. He gently moves Luigi’s hand away*
Mario: I have to do this alone.
*Before he can walk away, Luigi stops him by continuing to pursue him*
Luigi: What is this to you? A game?
Mario: No..
Luigi: So you can be the hero?
Mario: No!
Luigi: Then what is it??
Mario: I’m not— *he hesitates, struggling to find the right words*
Luigi: Not what?
Mario: I’m not strong enough!
Luigi: Strong enough?? And this will make you stronger?!
Mario: Yes! ..No!
Luigi: That’s what this is?! Some kind of workout?!
*Mario grabs Luigi by his shoulders, clinging to him with a grip he didn’t realize he had, as tears begin to fall from his eyes*
Mario: I CAN’T LOSE YOU AGAIN!!
*Luigi’s eyes go wide at his brother’s sudden confession. He stares at him sadly, shocked by the desperation in his tone, the tears in his eyes. Mario lowers his face, shaking his head*
Mario: I can’t…not again.. I’m not strong enough…

dude I was looking through clips for a reference image and it literally makes me sick with anger that Genndy chose to portray Africa like That. Literally racist caricatures like come onnnn man. The worst part is that I really want to LIKE that episode aside from the art direction. His mentor is a very sweet guy and I like Jack’s little rivalry with the other kid. I dislike that Jack has to save everyone and the other tribe is portrayed even worse, but at least Jack isn’t fighting by his fucking self the whole scene. there was so much potential in this episode if Genndy hadn’t been so fucking racist with his character designs. I do not fucking understand why he chose to make them absolutely pitch black in color. That’s not what humans look like. It’s like how he colors Jack straight up yellow sometimes. I know during the time this came out it was not very likely for bigotry to get called out but that had to have made some people uncomfortable. Jeeeeesus Christ. The guy portrayed China more respectfully than he portrayed literally any other culture including Japan lmao. Actually I take that back he gave quite a few Chinese characters racist accents. The man wanted a ‘multiethnic’ feel to his show but could not fucking stop being white and racist for it

Are there any blogs u can’t stand r hate
I’m guessing you mean in my direct lil community? (Cause I don’t interact anywhere else) I don’t hate anyone here??? I find it hard to hate people online because you just don’t know them, yknow? Ofc blogs that support cupcest and stuff I will block because it makes me uncomfortable, but I don’t consider them part of our community anyways.
now for blogs I can’t stand, I wouldn’t say there’s any! There aren’t any blogs that are “annoying” per se. I follow lots of people, and the people I follow are the ones I enjoy seeing (and the ones I’m not too scared to follow :’D)
as someone great once said, the internet is where nuance goes to die. so if someone makes a mistake and gets called out for it, but apologizes and tries to fix their mistake, i don’t think thats reason to ostracize, or harass them. Granted if they do something incredibly harmful that has permanent consequences to one or more people, then maybe they should take a break off of the internet entirely.
I don’t block people that often, all the hate I’ve gotten has been entirely anonymous, so it’s not like I can block those who just wish to be a butthole. But a lot of the hate asks I’ve gotten are really silly, and often don’t completely involve me?
so short answer, nope!
