I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

#anti intellectualism #media #movies #books #music #critical thinking #my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious #which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can #make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media #this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is #for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper #message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive. #though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is #tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls #are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women #you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all #hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before #sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong #that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were #looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is #trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling #them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks #barbie #nimona

rest in peace cross duel, here are my fanmade cross duel gijinkas i did donkey months ago (these two are based off kraken and penguin, my favourite fluffal and frightfur!)

the dimensional dragons are all girls because i wanted them to match odd-eyes and i even cooked up a fantasy plot for them to be actors in (more in tags)

i had a vision of green hair girl to be a harem queen a la gudako so bad

#arc-v #yugioh arc v #yugioh arc-v #cross duel #kraken is a pirate and penguin is an ice-skater in training #hashtag fantasy zarc is of course the ruler of whatever country and odd-eyes is the favourite child and court jester #chicken understands that being underestimated is an opportunity to not have her every action monitored #iadk starvie does but she just plots around a lot (probably planning to overthrow her mom at some point tbh or is even behind everything) #dark rebellion serves zarc as the captain of a platoon or something and she realises that she really shouldn't #clear wing is the captain of the anti-zarc resistance and 'canonically' at some point cw imprisons dr and hits on her ^_^ #may or may not have drawn said scene but only two souls on this earth have seen it #the finale features odd-eyes vs starvie (just like the anime wow) #can you tell i had the most passion for rebby #i also had a beta clear wing design where she was like this plucky king of bandits orphan #but her design was a little too modern and she had the criminal face mark and everything #and i much prefer to have an overarching story tying all of them together #character design is my passion (stares at the camera directly)

Friendly reminder that just because something wasn’t shoved in your face does not mean that it was a plot hole

#like babygirl the only kind of holes we can see are the ones through your brain #sometimes all you need is some reading comprehension‚ not everything needs to be spelled out for you #‘‘it was so far fetched! there were so many plot holes!’’ nah you just lack critical thinking skills #this happens in every fandom and i’m sick of it #harry potter #this is mostly a general post tbh #severus snape #pro snape #tagging sev bc this really applies to his haters #pro severus snape #snape #anti snaters #hp

I still can’t believe there are people who think that Will “I’m not gonna fall in love, just kidding I am in love already but I think I’ve been rejected so let’s rip off the bandaid” Byers isn’t going to get what he wants…in a show whose whole premise started with his abduction and is, by it’s creators own repeated admission, both going to focus on him the final season + about championing the underdog and the outcast.

It really is that simple, because once you know what the Duffers value...even if you haven’t dug that far into the show, it’s obvious where the “it started with Will, it will end with Will” is taking us based on tropes alone, if you listen to anything The Duffers say about their themes and narrative goals.

You don't even need color coding or parallels to other media to sort through it, because outside of any "but it was the 80s" commentary or "they would never break up the flagship couple" talk...Byler is literally just the logical thematic conclusion for Will's arc as the full embodiment of the outcasted, childlike AND the underdog, even if you don't like what they did to get our characters there.

Like? Will is literally the boy who represents the duffers love of being a “child at heart” and taking things you adored from your youth into being a grown up (see: their entire mf show being based on DnD and the media they loved as kids) on top of being a queer, poor, and regularly disrepected character.

He is the textbook representation of the outcast and underdog energy The Duffers love, to the point where you could hardly fit more "marginalized and imperfect" checkboxes into him without making him poc...and yet people actually believe he is going to be rejected not because there is no setup, or because there is no precedence for the storyline but solely because his love interest (who also has a non-conformity storyline and who is already making heart eyes at him) is currently dating a girl...and it would be "realistic" for him to get rejected? ☠️

Not to mention...I haven't even touched on how byler resolves Mike's own thematic issues and it already makes the most sense? Like?

How do you miss the most obvious plot twist setup in history not because its not blatantly set up, but because you’re homophobic? It really does have to be the blindness of heteronormativity thats driving most of this, because if you were a media literate homophobe, you would be screaming at the Duffers for doing it, not denying it’s happening at all. But ☕️

#byler #anti mlvn #duffer brothers #i am simply not blind enough for the foolishness of taking homophobes seriously tbh #their complaints are rooted in nonsense half the time #and yes this is kind of an offshoot of the 'bad writing' commentary of the tutor but #I swear on my LIFE knowing what good writing and a clear setup looks like makes byler so obvious its laughable #there's just no other thing they could be setting up with the choices they've made. everything else rings hollow #AND PEOPLE KNOW IT?!?! #mlvns saying things like 'it makes sense that mike and el have a less prominent role together in S5 but they won't break them up' #BABES LISTEN TO YOURSELF?!?! #the biggest season of the show and you think they're gonna let the 'flagship couple' be MID?! #Matt 'if its bad writing I'm not doing that shit' Duffer wouldn't even consider it. and its time you accepted that too 🤣 #ANYWAY #my st commentary #stranger things

i dont think anything could really piss me off more than when i see women dressing up in sexy/slutty school girl or nun costumes like bro

#same goes with people sexualising the hijab my blood literally boils #wow! sexualising literal children! how empowering for women and girls! #wow! sexualising religious women who dress modestly and actively do not want to be sexualised! how empowering for women! #/sarc #dont get me wrong theres bad nuns out there but i would never sexualise or fetishize a group of women bc of what some of them have done #not even on an anti-religion anti-christian perspective is it okay to sexualise a group of women who actively do not want to be sexualised. #i know that everything is sexualised in this day and age but for fucks sake #idk if this can be tagged as feminist tbh #feminism #feminist

Fuck what the maesters and Jaehaehae have to say, I personally think that Saera and Viserra did  regularly bicker and fight as siblings do but they also did love and look out for each other. Let me have healthy sister relationships in the ASOIAF world for once.

#mine own postsss #ASoIaF #dexreadsbooks #dexreads asoiaf #saera targaryen #viserra targaryen #anti jaehaerys targaryen #jaehaehae can choke on his own dick tbh #all her sisters disliked her to some degree yeah but who doesn't feel that way towards their siblings? #I just get the vibe that they went out of their way to demonize Saera #who probs was just acting out due to being spoiled but also craving the attention her older siblings got :(( #it's common for toxic families to have golden children who can do no wrong and scapegoat children who always do everything wrong #not out of the question for Jaehaehae's family given the kind of parent he is #can you imagine how much saera's heart broke when she learned about viserra's death :(( #dexrants #fuck jaehaehae all my homies hat jaehaehae

hate myself because i should have loved midnight mass i love a pathetic priest i love religion twisted into horror i love a man of god on his knees praying but no one’s listening i love the corrupting power of religion but i just don’t like midnight mass 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

#i think I just don’t like mike flanagan tbh he is too heavy handed for me #i wish he had a partner or someone to kind of dial it back a bit #the best parts of the show to me were the parts where he let the story play itself out without expository dialogue #the moments in the cave before we were fully aware what was happening were AMAZING i will never forget seeing the vampire the eyes augh #but then the characters started to monologue #i am so sad i didnt like it smh #it has everything but subtlety #the anti lynch tbh #not tagging this im just ranting sorry #but that won’t stop me from reblogging lots of tasty images of father paul lol i do like a man covered in blood on his knees

nat exposing what holy cow meant during that space in 2022 was an unethical dnf moment to me 😭😭

Love being told by people who’ve never been in spitting distance of Fire and Blood that the point of the story is “both sides equally bad” and “choose your fave war criminal” lmao the absolute audacity to be so vocally wrong.

#you missed the point entirely #F&B isn’t your nihilistic fantasy to justify having the hots for an antagonist #stop making antagonists innocent meowmeows out of nowhere it’s bizarre #you can like your fave warcriminal without pretending they’re pure as the driven snow #and while you’re at it maybe acknowledge the -point- has -something- to do with misogyny and your faves are guilty of it #otherwise I can’t take this ish seriously #anti team green #because the book is TEAM BLACK hello #stop believing everything green maesters say #F&B was wasted on the fandom tbh so few people are capable of assessing it critically #can you tell a green Stan got on my nerves today???

OBX3 SPOILERS (maybe?? idk, just adding this to be safe)

i love how popecleo had a better buildup in ONE season than j*ara did in THREE seasons

#like.. WHAT ?!? #at this point i just feel embarrassed for jiara #i kind of pity the stans tbh #also season 3 sucked ass #season 4 is defo going to be the last season #everything would have been better if they just made kiara lesbian or at the very least bi like #n e ways pope and cleo were actually so cute #they have my heart <33 #anti jiara #pope heyward #cleo outer banks #cleo obx #popecleo #obx pogues #obx3 #obx season 3 #netflix #outer banks #obx #jonathan daviss #carlacia grant #pope x cleo #cleo x pope #cleopope

It is kinda hard to do or claim ‘Death of the Author’ on a property when even if uninvolved the author still gets royalties and is known to parade sales of products related to her creation as ‘proof people agree with me and my views’ unfortunately.

#I don’t agree w harassing people who play it ofc but you can’t deny you can’t really do death of the author in this scenario #when said author profits from it and uses that money towards harmful shit #anti jkr #hogwarts legacy #anti hogwarts legacy #I’m not a HP person in truth but I’m seeing this all over the place rn so #I don’t get the appeal of HP tbh I had a brief time watching fbawtft but that was it #and also before I was fully aware of everything w the author

darkling fans are the og antis actually. every time I see an anti post I remember an analysis I’ve already seen written by a fan of his that is not only more critical, but better at it. they’re usually more accurate to his character, to the text, and to the other characters as well. they’re usually harsher on the darkling, and they’re always incredibly efficient pieces of character analysis. I have never seen better and more accurate hate for the darkling than from the people that actually like him.

send me a 🔥 for an unpopular opinion (x)

#i mean there are some good anti posts out there don’t get me wrong #and some worse darkling analyses #but like tbh the quality of everything is just better and somehow actually more brutal #like I’ll see a hate post and be like ‘I know ten people off the top of my head who could do better than this and they actually like him’ #aleksander morozova #the darkling #shadow and bone #grishaverse #sab #this is true for most fandoms tho tbh #most antis hate a character so much they reject all nuance #of course the opposite can happen but honestly? #i don’t see it much in this fandom #myramblings #fandomcourse #ask games #asks and answers #anon #sab discourse #kinda

Tbh the best way I can describe the state of MCU movies atm is like,,, a bouquet of plastic flowers. It looks pretty, but I have no desire to care for it

#tbh don't @ me but mcu's cult following is/was due to their special effects everything else feels empty and dry #like??? dc movies don't get the same attention bc they 'look cheap' but damn #doesn't it say something that you're a movie conglomerate and ppl STILL hate you more than your lesser credited rival lmaooooooo #dc #dc comics #anti mcu #mcu critical
