#it's the hypocrisy that i can't stand

[bixels]

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

This anon refers to an ask I sent to Peach a few days ago. I don't know if they missed the context or my sardonic approach, or both? I was being facetious to draw a comparison to how Jkkrs react, poking fun at their bonkers takes on members interactions (or lack of) and responding to how thet constantly send asks to Tkkr blogs demanding a reply. These asks are similarly phrased, exaggerating regular situations to suit a fictious story they have crafted where Jungkook and Jimin are cast in reductive masc/fem roles and taehyung is the big bad . They will purposely use hyperbolic language and tone with zero irony (Tae drowning Jungkook in the pool anyone?) And insist on being taken seriously not only in shipper communities but by army fandom at large. They literally change whole translations of conversations to suit themselves and cry anti when called out. They twist and straight up lie about members relationships and interactions to fit the roles I set out earlier and to diminish others. Empty vessels make the most noise and it is clear these people are very, very lacking. I am tired of taking the high road to spare someone else's feelings about how they feel Jimin might feel - do you see the lunacy? Not everything, esp blog posts on the Internet, are to be taken so literally. I, of course, know jimin would not burn in the sun, I'm sure he had plenty sunblock on (stand by jungkooks nip attack though) As others have commented, I find it amusing that people send asks pointing out how "mean" people are to jimin and ignore the absolute character assassinations carried out by jkkrs on the daily not only in their own blogs but also in their repeated attempts to bait Tkkrs for engagement.

Hi @charjube!

Ah okay! Thanks for the clarification lol. I do actually remember seeing your post on Peach's page but didn't make the connection 😅 probably because I registered that you weren't actually being serious haha. I guess, in their defense, it's not surprising that they missed your point since, like you said, they use these grand exaggerations without a hint of irony because they actually mean those things 🥴

Obvs we know that Jimin wasn't "left to burn in the sun" and I'm sure if anyone thought he was actually in any harms way, one of the multiple staff members literally standing feet away from him would've intervened. It's not that serious fhdsjkfhsdjk

The fact that they continuously feel the need to come into TK spaces/want to bait tkkrs to engage with their ridiculous takes just reiterates how desperate and lacking their arguments actually are. And if they weren't so vile most of the time, I'd almost feel bad for them.

Thanks for your thoughts!

can I just say something. I think we've warped the idea of consent and self care so far that they've come to mean you never have to do anything that makes you been a tad uncomfortable to benefit anyone else (or yourself but that's another discussion). sometimes you have to take a shift at the community kitchen when no one else can even if you're a bit tired. sometimes you have to step in to help a friend in need even though you have an exam the next day. sometimes you have to be there for someone even if you find them a bit distasteful or boring. sometimes you have to find time or energy to protest for a cause even if you don't have so much. when you're in a community you don't just get to 'protect your peace' and 'focus on you' all the time.

I'm not saying you have to martyr yourself for a cause, I'm not saying you have to burn yourself out or force yourself through things you categorically can't do, I'm not saying everything is on you, but I'm saying sometimes (often) following your own ethical code requires pushing through a bit of hardship and being rewarded by the joy of knowing you're doing what's right and that you are a person who knows what they believe and acts on it.

seeing this debate on whether it's ok to block the tags that palestinians fundraise via is making me feel so sick. seeing all these pathetic wetwipes saying they had to block the tags because witnessing even a fraction of these people's pain makes them feel sad and hopeless is disgusting. sometimes you have to stand the fuck up and do whats right even if it's a little bit hard or a little bit upsetting. if you can't reblog a goddamn fundraiser or act on a request in an ask from people living through a goddamn fucking genocide I don't even want to think about the ways you'd let me down if we were in a community together.

Also in the replies of the Steph concept art on twitter announcing she was gonna be in a new project at DC (posted by Travis Mercer), there were at least 3 comments saying "will Tim be there?" I don't care how hard you ship timsteph I'm exploding you with my eyeballs if you do that on my girls post again

It kinda sucks how Optimus Prime is a character who people (in real life) expect to be so Indubitably Good All The Time that they immediately shut down and refuse to acknowledge him whenever he does bad things or fucks up. Like I don't think I've seen any other character in this fandom get the same instantly negative reaction/never talk about him ever treatment that IDW Optimus gets.

Like, it's either him being a cop or the annexation of Earth. But instead of actually engaging with the story and going "so how does being a cop affect the way he treats and is treated by others" or "what led Optimus to annex Earth and how is this a reflection of his ultimately heroic ideal to treat organics as equal to Cybertronians despite the historical racism of his species"

people just instantly shut down and go "oh he's an asshole, he's stupid, he's not my Optimus, he's a bastard, he's edgy" etc etc and refuse to even like fuckin talk about him

It's so incredibly childish lmao especially when the IDW1 continuity in particular is already rife with characters who are also assholes that do stupid/regrettable things but people have no problems talking about/analyzing their stories.

My kingdom for a fandom that's willing to talk about IDW Optimus without immediately shutting down and just going "he's bad he's a bastard he sucks"

Hi. I read this post, and while I see your point, I think it's actually the other way around.... Or at least, I think that.

The parents clearly dod not cared about Chloé. As you said, Audry left, and don't even remembers her daughter's name most of the time, and, while Andre provided for Chloe, he possibly never was around either, leaving only Jackue Whateverhisnameis to serve her.

The parents clearly did not done these👆, that's the point. Even Andre, he did not done these; did not helped Chloé discover who she is, kinda protected her, but without care, enabeling her to protect HERSELF, and strangly, I think he did not love her.... I can't recall he would ever huged his daughter, while I remember she huged Ms. Boustie, which (in highsight) is obviously strange...

Let me theorize a bit, I think Andre created Chloe to the image of Audry, as a "Love fixing child" when he felt she is about to leave him (obviously, it didn't worked). He "loved" Chloe, in that sence he loved the part she is like her mother, so he kinda tried to compensate, but since Chloe isn't Audry, he failed hard.

So, all together, I think (at least as I interpreting the story) Yeah, Audry and Andre both deserving what they get, but the main point is to prove what Felix said; when you don't care for your creation the results are just as bad as if you use them.

So yeah, I personally don't feel pity either of the parents, both deserve this, they CAUSED THIS, and I think that's what the story want to say

I agree with what you say, my point was the hypocrisy of the writing. Where Félix, Kagami and Adrien are portrayed as victims and worth saving, Chloé is not given the same treatment (from Astruc especially).

Both Audrey and André are horrible parents (like most in MLB, to be honest). She abandoned her family and abuses her daugther, while André didn’t give Chloé the affection nor the discipline she needed. All he did was throw money at her and enableing her bad behaviour. Bad behaviour she emulated from her mother, the person Cholé wants above else to love her. The other issue is that in the end André, instead of standing up to Audrey’s abuse and save his daughter from her, will denounce Chloé (although he had part in her upbringing) and will abandon her with her abuser. All while the writers paint him as a "strong liberated man". But all they’ll be doing is showing just how much of a coward André is (Chloé is like that also because of him, but he’ll not be held accountable for it) and how they (the writers) are a bunch of hypocrites.

You said the hug between Miss Bustier and Chloé is “strange”, seeing things now, but the reason is that that hug was meant to be the start of Chloé's change. Sadly the story was derailed by Astruc in s3, just because he hates her on a personal level (I know she’s fictional, but the way he talks about her makes you wonder if he knows that).

The hug with Bustier, her apologising multiple times, her relationship with Adrien, Sabrina, Jaques and even her parents show Chloé was not evil to begin with. Adrien tells us she wasn’t like the Chloè we know from s1, but again because of hypocrisy and the hatered of one man against a fictional teenage girl, all of that depth and development was thrown out the window and Chloé was branded as “irredeemably evil”. While characters like Félix (that killed the entire population of Paris and only brought them back because Adrien was mad at him) and Gabriel (we know what he did), will be given forgiveness and redemption by Ladybug (and therefore, by the writers).

That said, I really like the theory that Chloé is also a senti. I wrote something like that a while back, but the issue with that is that neither Audrey nor André have fallen sick like Emilie or Colt (and possibly Kagami's father). And while I do think the sentiChloé theory could save her character, I doubt they would go for it, since Astruc hates the character and openly mocks her fans.

literally batshit insane how yoda saw order 66, the end of the galactic republic and the jedi order, and anakin skywalker's fall from grace and then just said...nah not my problem.

in the mortis arc, when Anakin saw those same visions, he intentionally went darkside to give himself the power to kill palpatine & prevent all of that (including O66). The Father wiped his memory in the end because, with The Daughter dead and anakin turned, The Son was too powerful and the Force was thrown out of balance...which makes sense considering The Father's sole role is to exist as the embodiment of that Light/Dark balance. What may one day happen to some jedi means nothing to him, as long as he maintains balance in the moment.

Yoda's job is not that. He witnessed the (very imminent) destruction of his people, millions of lives, the war effort they'd fought so hard for down the drain...and he just said "nah, the galaxy will sort this out. whatever happens is up to fate." I understand the whole message in a lot of media, where if you try to fuck with fate, you get fucked over even worse, but he's willing to leave the lives of MILLIONS OF INNOCENTS up to fate? He's leaving it up to trust that the natural order and balance of the universe will be okay in the end????

BRUH.

thought y'all would find this funny, leading a double life where most my mutuals don't care about st and don't know about. gestures to my entire blog. is actually so hilarious sometimes

[xadenviolct]

I had the news on this morning as I got ready for work, and you know, it's hilarious how Taylor Swift's endorsement means "nothing at all, it isn't important" now that she endorsed Kamala...

But yet, it was so important that the buffoon's campaign spread around fake AI images of her supporting HIM? Went through the effort and whatnot of making them, tweeting them, etc. etc.?

It's just... an interesting "huh" moment.

(Also, I get fed up with people who are all "stay out of politics" when it comes to any type of celebrity or athlete or what have you. They have just as much right to express their opinion as the average American on the street or in the Facebook comments. So what if their audience is millions and billions on a single Instagram post and the average Joe might reach... a few dozen, most of those family?

That's not the point.

You can't be shouting all FREEDOM and whatnot, and then get all pissy when certain people express that freedom.)
