Hey I saw someone say you had “realized the harm of the bi lesbian label” and want to know if that’s true? Because….it’s not harmful and if you have changed your mind then I’m unfollowing lol

what ? where did they get that from ? i just don't rly talk about it often anymore because im tired of the always same useless label discourse, but im very much still a lesbian who also kisses boys

ppl acting like 911 cutting the karaoke/bachelor party scenes is some malicious corporate ploy to dunk on the gays and not just them cutting fun but non-essential stuff for time.

narratively the point of those scenes is to establish buck and eddie got shitfaced enough to lose the groom, which is communicated just as well with a quick montage. Sorry 🤷‍♀️

maybe because it's the premise of the episode? and they aren't gonna pay to cut a new trailer because there's a 0.5 second shot from a deleted scene?

also if you're pressed enough to be bitching in the 911onABC ig post, grow the fuck up, you're not fighting the good fight for queer rep you're just making some 24 year old social media managers day worse.

Can we. Can we talk about how Melanie was—effectively—losing her mind during all of season 3 and half of season 4. Can we talk about that.

Her emotions were being twisted into only feeling anger during all that time. For over a year. She leaned into it because it felt good, that was her downfall, but we can't deny that she was being influenced.

Her erraticness and volatile behaviors during this time can't be separated completely from the bullet wound seaping Slaughter poison into her leg.

Is she completely innocent in this scenario? Absolutely not. But she is just as much a victim of the Fear's influence as any of the other male characters in the series who we idolize for having sexy grey morals. We can't be treating her like some sort of pariah in the fandom for not reacting perfectly in terrible situations.

this part kinda cracks me up because wdym you never gave up on her? as soon as y'all saw an explosion, you declared her dead. you didn't even go back to check if she might have survived, you were like “oh oop- i guess she's gone now. rip entrapta” 🤡

yall need to learn the difference between a rule of the game itself and an agreement within game lmao. they aren't the same thing. enchanting armor isnt breaking the rules or illegal. it's breaking the agreement they made. its breaking the trust between teams, not going against the rules. because no rule exists there.

In a weird place rn where I do believe that the specific brand of sex negativity that is prominent mostly in gen z internet users is a problem and not good I just also very firmly believe that thinking incest fanfic is gross does not count as that.

all of this over minecraft, i seriously don't understand it. his LIFE was/is danger, the lives of his FAMILY were threatened, and people don't care because he's dream and because "Quackity first multilingual smp" and whatever the fuck else, and i'm being so so very serious when i say who gives a flying fuck about that and fuck you if those are the arguments you're using. who fucking cares who did what first and who fucking cares if you don't like him, he is not in the wrong for being concerned for his and his family's safety and he's not in the wrong for bringing attention to the truly disgusting things people are saying about him/they want to do to him the people he loves and cares about, and if you think he IS in the wrong i hope the universe gives you one extremely hard kick in the ass, because that's what you deserve.

"a computer cannot be held accountable, therefore a computer must not make a management decision"

this always seemed like a weird statement to me, more based on being snappy than any logic. the people who programmed the computer can be "accountable". the people who designed the system that the computer integrates it with can be accountable. does the tragedy of therac-25 means that we should never use computers in a medical context, since we couldn't put the therac-25 on trial?

if your concern is that the computer acts as an impenetrable "blame absorber", then consider that people have been doing this with "i'm just following the rules" for centuries, and people rarely suggests that this means we should abolish structure. consider all the times that a systemic flaw has been excused as "we found the single person responsible for all these problems and got rid of them", or the fact that in industrial accident analysis care has to be taken to avoid just letting all the blame attach itself to whatever human was most proximal.

personally the divide between witchfuckers and destroyafuckers is a prime example of attempts to break down community in the zones 😒 if you would actually realise whos pitting you against each other youd realise we have a common enemy: directorfuckers

oh my gooooooodddddddd

here's the thing: zelda is a fandom that veers young, so I guess it's on me to want to introduce nuance to the conversation and reflect how my relationship with the series changed with time, but fucking hell do people make it *so* ridiculously high stakes to be a ganondorf enjoyer around here

Yall remembered like...eternity ago when they announced PCap for the Doctor and everyone on tumblr, YouTube, LiveJournal and fuckin Twitter were making edits and saying that 12 was going to be the darkest doctor yet (and possibly the Valeyard!) and were using Peter's previous filmography and dramatic Russian/German/Polish/Greek edm music to hypothesize?

And then the 12th doctor was literally a sweet, wholesome, sage, snuggly match latte-coded babygirl who started out just a bit grumpy?

We all got PLAYED.
