everyone who writes their ‘7’s with a little dash through them had a conscious moment of truth where they actively chose to write ‘7’ in that way and never stopped doing it like if you can’t clearly recall that fateful decision wyd

Hank is a millennial -> Hank likes metal -> Hank has stupid edgy Hot Topic-ass quotes tacked all over his shit -> Hank probably dressed like me and my shithead friends when he was a Youth.

Reading age gap fics where Character A knew Character B when B was a baby (something like a…. 22 year age gap?), and so many fics make sure to have SEVERAL paragraphs where the characters talk about how they're all consenting adults, how this is fine because they've Communicated, how knowing someone as a child does not change your capacity to have a relationship in any way…

And look. Yeah. Absolutely. That's great. I've been in a bunch of age gap relationships and don't believe that they're inherently unhealthy or that power dynamics are ever as straight-forward as people think.

But I am LONGING for the fics that revel in the fucked-upness, the complications, the daddy issues, all the weird ground you sometimes have to navigate when your partner is much older than you. Stop giving me upstanding characters making morally correct choices! (and especially stop giving me the conversations where they loudly make declarations about consent and explain to each other why this is totally okay). Give me people who are being real weirdos about this! Give me kinks that are made uncomfortable by the context of this relationship! Give me guilt and shame and sex made even hotter by those things!

This is about the Top Gun fandom, if anyone is wondering.

Been watching Adventures of Superman again and I swear that one day I will actually write some more Jimmy/Supes because I never understand why the internet is not creaking under the strain of hosting so much ship content. I mean, just look at them! xD

I always wanted to do a kind of goofy 1950s story where Lex is editor of the Metropolis equivalent of Confidential magazine. Like, they're stealing readers from the Planet, beating them to all the latest gossipl news, so you'd have that kind of boardroom tension of 'should we lower our standards and print more of this rubbish' (think '52 Scandal Sheet- esque), while Jimmy's literal Superman fanclub is just an invitation for Lex to run a story on the flamboyance of the Man of Steel...

Plus a grittier 1940s set fic - think noir LA - with Jimmy being more of your typical wisecracking reporter and naïve country boy Clark/Superman being newly arrived in Metropolis. (Kirk Alyn & Tommy Bond vibes, I guess.) Who else are you gonna suspect of a string of vicious murders when you've got a caped weirdo with apparently super human powers?

Sorry, it was unfair of me to send that to you without proper context since you might not be aware of these issues. Irredeemable media refers to any thing with a creator or content  that is harmful and/or bigoted. Of course every piece of media has problems, but irredeemable media is when those problems cannot be ignored and are an indicator of someone's beliefs. 

For example, Harry Potter is irredeemable media because every one knows that JK Rowling is a transphobe, but some other piece of media like Twilight would not be considered irredeemable because even though Stephanie Meyer has done some bad things, they are not as widely talked about, so someone who posts about Twilight on here isn't completely likely to be a bigot, but a Harry Potter blogger would. Also, I know the "to be cringe is to be free" people like your blog, but a lot of the time, what is considered cringey on here is actually based on what is irredeemable. No progressive person or reputable blogger genuinely makes fun of My Little Pony fans any more, however plenty make fun of Hazbin Hotel fans and the such because that content is irredeemable and shows someone's beliefs. So usually, a piece of media being considered embarassing to like on here usually indicates that it is irredeemable.

As for why the other pieces of media are irredeemable, Hazbin Hotel is made by a woman who has many well-documented accusations of bigotry against her and has drawn zoophilia art, not to mention how her work leans into stereotypes about gay people (having a gay man character be a sex addict, a lesbian be named after the female body part Vagina, etc.) or at least that's what I've heard. Attack on Titan is created by a known fascist and many illusions are made to nazi imagery and nationalism in the anime. Captive Prince has a racist premise that sexualizes slavery and non-con. 

People can tell you that liking irredeemable media doesn't say something about who they are, but that's fundamentally false. If someone is uncaring enough to still post openly about these types of media, it's clear they don't care enough about not supporting bigotry. Yes, even if they don't give money to the creators, because they are still willingly exposing themselves to bigoted or harmful content and enjoying it.

The previous ask was not meant to be accusatory. Rather it was meant as a concerned question. Believe it or not, there are still some users on here who indulge in these pieces of content, a few of which hide behind the excuse of being part of a minority (Black, trans, whatever) or simply deny how bad their media consumption is to escape accountability. I wouldn't want you associating with those types of people and have that ruin your reliability on this website.

Hopefully this ask has educated you more on these issues and you'll be able to spot irredeemable media in the future and block it out.

incredible essay, you get a C for Creativity
