Even though I have very strong feelings about who I support and who I find disappointing and/or unforgivable in the DFF ensemble, I get sooooo exhausted by arguments over who the narrative is "going" to punish or "should" punish. I'm really hoping this is going to be a story where the narrative chips fall where they may and the audience is allowed to decide for ourselves who we sympathize with, and for ourselves whether the ending is bleak or bittersweet or satisfying or hopeful. Kinnporsche did that so well and DFF shows every sign of heading in that direction.

when analyzing media it's definitely important to consider what is and isn't realistic because that is definitely a crucial aspect of the storytelling, however i think that you need to ALSO analyze it from the perspective of a story that is being told by authors who live in the real world and that is being read by an audience that is living in the real world, meaning you have to consider the real-world meanings and implications of certain storytelling choices. you have to ask yourself why an author wrote something a certain way. you have to ask yourself how it affects others. you have to ask what societal biases might be influencing the story. when jkr rowling writes a novel about a man disguised as a woman killing people, you don't focus on realism alone, you use your critical thinking skills to go "hey, maybe this isn't a good message because it says something about irl trans issues." media doesn't exist in a vacuum

This was originally going to be me meme-ing abt how the two things are oddly similar in some ways but just turned into what is essentially just a chad vs virgin meme.

the thing is. the thing fucking is. the trolls are all so thirteen and the way ppl critique them is really so stupid bc it never takes that into mind
like eridan fucking obviously has no real intention of committing genocide. all of his friends are landdwellers and he loves them too much hed never kill them
and vriska outright states that she didnt want to kill aradia or hurt tavros and couldnt figure out why she had, clearly implying that it only happened bc scratch manipulated her, bc shes thirfuckinteen and shes got this freak of a guy literally grooming her for years
equius is definitely like a little freak and a weirdo idk. ive got nothing there. hes got liek. problems. and kinks. and kinky problems. hes mostly harmless when he isnt talking to someone he has a crush on/is in a relationship w but like that doesnt make him less fucking racist so ive got nothing
i dont need to defend gamzee everyone is never not defending gamzee all the time constantly and it would be stupid to even go down that route
but like. ugh. every day i just think about how stupid "condemn x" discourse is. theyre thirteen. theyre thirteen. anyway #vriskadidnothingwrong
