#oh noooo how dare someone hate a portrayal of a character bc they exist to make fun of a real phobia!

The fact that it's a trend now to say it's a red flag that someone does or does not like a particular fictional character is proof that media literacy is completely dead.

#DCB Comments #also one time I saw someone compare my other series son to Edelgard and I was like BUDDY what #they're nothing alike and their circumstances are nothing alike. but evidently it's a red flag if #you like either of them. and ofc you can't just explain to someone why it's not a red flag to enjoy a fictional character or dislike one #or they'll get super butthurt and whine and cry bc how dare you not be part of their echo chamber!!! #oh noooo how dare someone hate a portrayal of a character bc they exist to make fun of a real phobia! #how dare someone like a character who did something deemed ''bad''! there's no WAY there's more to the story! #idk how Ashnard hasn't gotten canceled by purists yet so good for him I'm rooting for you Ashy! #(fun fact: you can enjoy fictional characters. it's not a red flag about a person's entire morality or personality #saying that is saying it's a red flag to you about who that person is irl as a human being #because they enjoy a piece of fictional media or do not enjoy a piece of fictional media #if you judge someone for what they do and don't like in fictional media and think they're a ''red flag'' #that's a pretty good ironic indication that YOU are the problem and the red flag #for judging a human being based on media they consume and assuming it reflects on who they are irl)
