One of those going-over-the-fandom's-head memes about Shuro Dungeonmeshi being hopelessly infatuated with Falin and loathing Laios even though they have basically identical personalities where the direct takeaway is "lol, Shuro is dumb" and the part going over the reader's head is "people decide whether your autistic traits are charming quirks or red flags based on whether they find you fuckable".
shockingly, these "I'm a better Art Appreciator than you" takes are very satisfying to post, but do not succeed in encouraging people to actually seek out and engage with the art you purport to enjoy
its fascinating how very very surface level 1920s-ish jazz age inspired aesthetics are very popular (see: hazbin hotel and electroswing and the endless wave of bowtie pinstripe character designs from the 2010s) but the vast vast majority of people who are into that seem fundamentally disinterested in actually engaging with actual jazz age art and culture because that would require engaging with black art
did you do it? Did you post "I want to explode [random white lib celebrity, 9/10 chance it's a woman] with my mind"? Did it make you feel good? Are you solving western racist patriarchal systems by attacking an idol you've warped in your mind to resemble its image? Do you want a medal?

germany will always remain a very morbidly funny concept to me. large land of sweaty numbers-obsessive woodland beasts who, when given enough resources, make really good cars and, when given more resources, invariably start killing a lot of people
hey here's a website for downloading any video or image from any website.

some people are so used to mostly consuming media where the women and people of color are static set dressing in stories about white men that they can't wrap their heads around the concept that female characters and characters of color can have arcs of their own. they'll see a character who's not a white man display a personality flaw that is clearly being set up to be overcome and they see it not as the setup of what promises to be an enticing character journey, but as an essential defining trait of their being, and proceed to demonize such characters for it. white men get to be dynamic and complex, women and people of color get essentialism and a pressure for likeability over good storytelling.
