war of the coprophages is so funny because scully is having a true weekend for women who do too much (cleaning her gun, eating ice cream out of the carton, reading breakfast at tiffanys) just reassuring mulder every 5 minutes that he doesn’t need her to come out to help him with the killer cockroaches and then she hears that he’s talking to an entomologist and he’s really interested in what this woman has to say and she immediately packs a BAG
then she meets the entomologist and she’s just, in her perfect miss dana scully way, like “fucking loser you are not even a REAL scientist”

Trying to drag real-world ethics into the Batverse is a bad faith argument when absolutely nothing in the Batverse has any ethical or moral standing in the real world.
Real world evils that claim death tolls:
- billionaires
- cops
- vigilanteism
- copaganda (crime-fighting as a genre is libertarian copaganda)
- prison industrial complex
- war on drugs
- child soldiers
- policing entities without democratic or civic transparency or oversight
- finding acceptable targets for your personal trauma and visiting what you believe is justified violence on them
But all of that is fine and good and acceptable as conceits of the universe, EXCEPT the question of "should this rich white guy who appoints himself the protector of the innocent due to the failures of the legal system, actually do something about this guy who keeps killing because of the failure of the legal system?" THAT is somehow above challenge or question. Never mind that turning the concept of "legal incompetence", meant to protect the most vulnerable population in a society, into a loophole for fictional mass murderers is violent ableism and copaganda. Forget taking a deep dive into why exactly killing is bad, or how far a value system can go before it becomes self-serving, or storytelling imperatives or any of that. The only reason any of us could ever take Jason's side (re: the Joker) is that we, in real-life, think that "bad guys should die". Instead of the fact that because nothing works as it should in the Batverse, the Joker's continued existence actively cheapens any moral code that allows it.
You can take whatever side you want to, but get off that horse and actually engage with the question, or fuck off with the dudebros who think "killing a serial killer makes you as bad as a serial killer" has any actual ethical basis.

Canon Dib: An intelligent 12-year-old kid with an interest in the paranormal, who wants to prove that it’s real so everyone will stop calling him crazy. He can be a bit unhinged when dealing with Zim, and gets angry with people who doubt or mislead him, but is otherwise a good kid who genuinely wants to stop humanity from being enslaved. The end of one episode showed that, despite his experiences with Zim, he still wants to explore the stars and see all the alien life that’s out there, out of a genuine sense of wonder for it.
Some of the fandom, apparently: He dissects innocent animals and looks at gore for fun!!1!

will says that el has a book of letters from him because he’s just pointing out that they kept in contact regularly whereas he and mike didn’t but somehow mike interprets that as if will was implying there should be something romantic between them too and it stumps will bc that’s not what he meant at all and he doesn’t realize yet why mike is actually so mad or who he’s mad at, and while we clown mike for being oblivious i think will is oblivious too bc this isn’t the first time mike’s done that and yet. will doesn’t question it. he never does and they never talk about it. he just continues with what he’s saying about how they used to be best friends. they never talk about the fact that when will fights to salvage their friendship mike talks about it as if it was more than what it was and as if continuing as they were would get between his relationship with eleven. which implies that he himself feels that their relationship is inappropriate if he wants to date eleven concurrently and explains why it’s the only friendship within the party that seriously falls apart and why will is the only party member that he completely changes his behavior n actions towards and why he’s the only party member that he no longer touches once he dates eleven. which again also explains why after they start dating it’s only when eleven isn’t around that he allows a softer, more open and present mike to reappear around will. it’s just like. why would he do any of that if he’s not projecting? will is literally the one with a canonically confirmed interest in him and yet he’s mad at the roller rink because will is ignoring him [or so he thought at that point]. he’s not mad that eleven lied. he’s not mad at what those bullies did to her. he’s mad that will didn’t talk to him. he’s so mad and hurt by will that he doesn’t even console his girlfriend who was encircled, taunted, and had a milkshake thrown on her all on tape. he stays by will’s side despite everything, even when she’s fidgeting and crying to the side of them. to top it off he even makes a passive aggressive bitchy little comment at dinner afterward because he’s still. mad. at. will. will is the one that ruined his day. not those bullies being cruel to el, but will. it clouds his vision so much that he can’t even pretend or begin to attempt to entertain the idea of being there for her when she so clearly needs him. how does anyone fucking watch any of that and not get what’s going on. HOW????

“think of the children!” no. you aren’t. the people in power couldn’t give two shits about the children. the people in power look away when it comes to genuine concerns about children the second it impedes upon their lifestyle, their beliefs.
and you know what it is that bothers them so? children wanting safety. children not wanting to live in fear of being murdered. children who want to be loved and accepted for who they are. children who are raised to be those kids you hear others complain about on social media because nobody was there to teach them better. they don’t know better because they quite literally can’t.
oh but it’s for the kids, right? protect the kids, right? turn a blind eye to death and discrimination and neglect, right? that’s how we’ll protect them, right?

Before wonho getting enlisted we knew (wenees) he had some girl or grown woman waiting outside his building every single day for hours idk for how long but during vlives he asked PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE he knew she was here for him 💀 it was so annoying, he had closed curtains every day for sure. I don't think it was only for safety filming his video vlogs for youtube.
It's so worrying how no one does anything, i understand at least the majority of idols are adults and they can do things by their own but the company itself should protect them always and they never do. And i also think only a few could pull off some dominant personality making people respect their safe space and physical integrity by sueing a stalker.
So much time took starship to sued that woman who had a yt channel and created so many bad things involved wonyoung, the same woman who went against monsta x members and cravity as well.
that's genuinely wild... it will always be odd to me how companies never actually take action when it comes to sasaeng/stalkers and just let it happen every time like their main job should be to protect them from anything! there's only so much an idol can do but especially when it's idols that are just debuting they don't have the liberty some of their seniors have and they just let them get harassed irl or online by these people i mean... riize is a good example of that. sm has been letting them getting harassed by this one person on twt who got seunghan on hiatus because they invaded his privacy and also they have done the same thing to the other members at this point and yet nothing really has changed! it's all empty words with these people they put out the same statements over and over again but things escalate and nothing changes! these companies are sometimes the reason idols get targeted so much they have all of this money and connections and yet do absolutely nothing with it and then think we are dumb
