i know im not breaking new ground for saying legend of korra is disappointing but so much of the series is genuinely off putting to me. the setting, the tone, how the narrative tortures korra it feels like
which is a shame because I love korra as a character (even if her writing isn't The best at times). but there are so many aspects of the show I don't like. fuck there's so many characters in the show I dont even like either

what you eat has an impact on the environment thats just a fact. how u choose to mitigate that might be trying to use locally sourced produce, it might be growing your own, it might be reducing meat intake, it might be supporting community food initiatives, it might just be buying un-packaged produce or avoiding out-of-season fruit, or maybe ur not in a position to do anything. but stop fucking listening to people who tell you that the other regular people who choose to do a different thing from this list than you do are the enemy to distract you from who’s really creating the problem. if you spend more time railing at vegans than you do at monsanto and cargill and ADM then you’re literally falling into the same trap as someone who makes 40k and complains about the minimum wage being increased

I’m gonna sound like a prick, but I genuinely find the fact that Tim’s big queer reveal going the way it has to be insulting. Like I keep trying to put nicer ways to say it. But honestly in the end I just find it fucking insulting how Bernard has been reduced to a fucking stereotype in every story but Travis Moore’s addition. And having Tim’s relationship with him be talked about in a way that almost feels like he used him to figure it out, while talking about his ex in a way that comes across like they’re talking down Bernard’s relationship with Tim to a level that doesn’t matter as much as his past romance for the sake of a ship rather than natural development given other things is also insulting.
Like I never flat out say it much anymore, but the main reason I harp on what Bernard looks like is because I cannot believe that no one is fucking bothered by the Bat-Family’s queer representation being partly a pre-conceived character being shrunk into the stereotype of a twink. And past that, barely ever show up in the majority of the stories supposedly about their relationship. I'm at a point where I wonder why they even bothered using Bernard. It's practically not even him besides bizarrely the guy who isn't writing Tim's ongoing story. That hurts.
I don’t damn feel represented. I feel like I’m being talked down to. Like the second story not having him was weird enough, but him being a background item to the stories, like set decoration or a plot device, to two stories in a row by the same writer just feels condescending.
The ship is held up by fans who went out of their way to learn more about Bernard, while we only have one freaking short story about them in the comics. And he's barely in that too!
It’s been MONTHS now. How come we can barely reach bare minimum?
