baby's first Marvel movie!!! (not counting Daredevil season 1, bc it's a series but I love it nonetheless)

I'm so excited!!!

Also, yes, I'm watching Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) while doing mathematics. I'm goofy like that (and yes I can multitask like this, been doing it for a decade now... still don't know how)

also, yes, that is a Robin (DC) little, lego figurine in the background, he keeps me safe and calm

For that people would also need to have media literacy and increasingly.... they don't. Like it isn't JUST that people don't have the range for nuance but their reader/viewer comprehension is stunted to the point it defeats any attempt at critical thinking. And I can't speak for people outside of the U.S. but HERE where there was a decades long degradation of Humanities in favor of STEM and athletics, people are suddenly surprised that literacy is in decline. I noticed for the first time in around... 2016? That people could not even handle subtext and this started bleeding into fandom spaces. That was nearly a decade ago. Fast forward and now this has solidly become part of the culture . I am fully convinced the black and white morality we see being enforced is a symptom of that anti-intellectualism we like to bring up around here every other day.

I am begging people to learn how to accept multiple truths and situational morality instead of this weird hill to die on pure truth stanning culture that appears to be getting more and more popular in fandom spaces. Learn how to identify the nuances, please, I am begging.

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

I find it so funny, in light of TikTok’s imminent American demise, that even now they aren’t considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.
