Hot Takes From Troll Accounts - re: Breaking Bad and the MSM's General Influence on Populous Beliefs/Behaviors
Exhibit A) absurdly-“useful”
Tumblr media
Except mainstream anything has an immediate influence on the masses hence why electing a pro Nazi rapist to office was fucking BAD for the population and the safety for women, POC, queer folk, and people with disabilities… ya goofy misdirecting troll account see you next tuesday. 😂
Tumblr media
Exhibit B) wackweeder, grimeclown, and cactusseeds
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
No, to answer your question - grimeclown. But that’s kinda not really the focus.
*eyes rolling at cactusseeds* - tell me you work for media without telling me you work for media.
For wackweeder - you say “media illiterate” like that’s a bad thing. Lmfao. I prefer to put my limited time in reading published studies, reading historical books, interacting with people who value educational content (not you), taking STEM classes, and beating my ass up in fitness arenas than working on my “media literacy.” I have all my social media feeds to tell me shit I don’t care about in relation to mainstream television now, anyway. It’s not like I get to bury my head away from any of it as much as I would love to. But why the hell would I want to watch brain rot with what limited time I have on this planet. I rhetorically ask. Here’s the key response to your overall population influence illiteracy - media influences everything including drug usage. This is why most developed governments are so sensitive about tobacco and alcohol ads in the presence of children. It doesn’t generally matter how the shit is portrayed. If it did then Nancy Reagan’s “War on Drugs” TV specials would’ve had some positive effect on the masses. Hint… it didn’t.
https://academic.oup.com/alcalc/article/44/3/229/178279
Now - you can go ahead and make the argument that BB the show, itself, could’ve turned people away from using because there are zero studies to counter that argument but that’s disingenuous claim to make at best. Personally, I feel more comfortable looking at all the other numerous studies looking at drug and alcohol usage influenced through media, in general, and applying that data to the picture at hand because that is a rational thing to do.
For a lay example - why don’t news outlets publish suicide rates? Because it increases suicide. Just because it looks bad in the broad scheme doesn’t mean it has none or an anti-influence. That’s not how this works. I can think of other media influencing mob behavior: Flash mobs. The increase of street takeovers in a post Fast and Furious world. How little girls think they need to look like some twig on the runway. How little boys think they have to hide their emotions because the machismo men on their favorite shows do so. How Bhutan’s GNH (presumably - the documentation has all but vanished from online sources I had read from in the aughts - shoulda saved it back in the day…) fell after the introduction of Western Media. And so on…
People are easily influenced, man. They teach in journalism school (yes, I went) the average American reading and comprehension level is at the equivalent of the third grade. When you see mofos out there believing Q-Anon conspiracies without second guessing you know that fact isn’t far off. We’re not anywhere near as evolved a you want to believe.
Exhibit C) roadkillbuffet
Tumblr media
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not but Breaking Bad was not the first gay kiss on television…
But also… if the comment isn’t sarcasm or a troll then - “but Breaking Bad was the first gay kiss on tv therefore if you’re calling a meth based television show out you are homophobic” - is a piss poor argument to make for the queer community. Of which I am in, btw.
If that were actually true and BB was the first show to validate queer relationships then how homophobic is Hollywood to take that first dive into validating queer lives in a show about meth? I’m going to guess this is a sarcasm response though. No one can be that off base… can they?
Exhibit D) "I can't read this" Cool. Go back to your basic memes.

❤️‍🔥 give us ur most unpopular opinion on hotd/asoiaf ships
well idk how unpopular this is and hopefully i can explain myself as concise as possible but i feel like the culture of shipping has genuinely eradicated so much critical thinking and analysis of how hotd and specific characters are talked about.
now i’m not saying that any individual ship is bad or shipping in general is (bc obviously that would make me a hypocrite). even if there’s ones i personally dont care for, i genuinely don’t care about their existence or people enjoying them.
my problem stems from how much personal identity is attributed to ships. this isnt necessarily unique to asoiaf/hotd but still extremely pervasive. what this looks like is people who get so invested in a ship that the mere existence of another feels like a personal insult. and instead of just accepting that other people have different tastes and preferences, their uncomfortable feelings puts them on the defense.
sometimes you cant even post about the thing you like without getting radioed and being insulted on a personal level bc your enjoyment of a ship directly contrasts with the way they enjoy a different ship. one person talks about the dynamic between alicent and criston and within minutes you can expect accusations of homophobia and being pro incel. one person says they’re interested in seeing what kind of character sara snow is, you’ll quickly see them accused of being an anti black racist. if you post about rhaenicent, you can soon expect accusations of shipping rhaenyra with her abuser. see what i mean?
i think people need to just unclench for a second
that all being said, i think the whole “i need it to cope” when talking about extremely taboo topics within shipping needs to be fucking eradicated. i’m all for advocating for people to curate their online experiences— if i don’t like a thing, i will do what i must to make sure i dont see the thing. however i think the promoters of things like p*dophilia in ships to a very extreme degree who like to default to a position of “well its all fictional its not serious!!” and even going so far as to mock people who dont like seeing pedo porn for being prudes make you look like an absolute asshole.
and to be very clear, i’m not saying that any specific theme or topic of dynamic is illegal and you cannot explore them. but shipping an adult with a child and writing explicit porn about it makes 🫵🏽 you the bearer of responsibility to make sure the people you dont want to see your content dont— that means utilizing tagging systems and more than just “dead dove” in bio cus that’s not a catch all term. and the whole “to cope” thing absolutely holds no weight when you’re going out of your way to trigger other people who may also be victims of the thing ur posting about. with HOTD especially, what i’ve seen a lot of is not even just a lack of grace or carelessness in a fandom space but a deliberate act of trying to be as extreme as possible to be edgy and to pwn the antis~
it’s really not other people’s responsibility to accept taboo ships/themes— that isn’t to say that you cannot engage with that thing, no one will stop you— but you also cant be shocked when people are uncomfortable if not wholly disgusted with explicit depictions of a character as played by a minor with an adult. like that’s just going to happen especially when you’re posting it on a public platform for everyone to see and it’s all just for your personal kinks

Despite its public portrayal of itself, the ADL isn’t a civil rights group in any meaningful sense, but rather, a veiled pro-Israel lobbying organization that uses superficial language of inclusiveness and anti-racism to defend Israel from criticism from the left. The ADL already assists large social media platforms in determining what is and isn’t hate speech, and by teaming up with the #StopHateForProfit effort, the group will likely have even more say in determining what content is worthy of publication. The problem is that the ADL has made it clear on a number of occasions that it considers the entire basis of the peaceful Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement — embraced by virtually all of Palestinian civil society — to be hate speech, specifically any claim that denies Israel’s ​“existence as a Jewish state” (e.g. its claim to ethnonational supremacy over non-Jews living in Palestine). The ADL’s website clearly states, ​“Anti-Israel activity crosses the line to anti-Semitism” with any statement that ​“Israel is denied the right to exist as a Jewish state,” and that ​“the founding goals of the BDS movement and many of the strategies used by BDS campaigns are anti-Semitic.”
Put another way, if Palestinians don’t co-sign their own ethnic cleansing by agreeing with the radical premise that the land of their birth, or where their families are from, is axiomatically meant for Jews, they are, according to the ADL, engaging in racist speech. So too will non-Palestinian allies of Palestine be painted as racists: Recently, the ADL’s deputy national director took to the New York Times to accuse Peter Beinart, who was once among the most prominent liberal Zionist writers in the United States, of anti-Semitism for announcing that he now supports one state based on equal rights.
The use of anti-hate-speech laws and regulations to snuff out calls for equal rights in Palestine is not theoretical — it’s common practice already in France, which has used such laws to effectively make the BDS movement illegal. While these are laws, not social media rules of conduct, the principle is the same: Any speech that calls into question Israel’s right to exist as a ethno-supremacist state is de facto anti-Semitic.
In 2017, the ADL accused the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), a grassroots Black Lives Matter organization founded in 2014, of anti-Semitism, a form of hate speech, because M4BL’s platform read, in part, ​“The U.S. justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliance with Israel and is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people.” It follows that if the M4BL were to post this statement on social media, it’s likely the ADL would view it as hate speech and demand Facebook take it down. If the ADL views the foundational documents of the M4BL as including hate speech, how can the ADL possibly assert itself as a moral authority in this moment? Has the ADL’s position changed since 2017, or does the ADL still to this day consider the M4BL’s platform anti-Semitic?
The ADL smearing Black activists who oppose Israel isn’t new. In the 1960s, the ADL harshly criticized the Black-led Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Black Panthers for their criticisms of Israel, equating these ​“negro extremists” with the KKK and American Nazi Party. The ADL also worked with the Israeli government in the 1960s, ​‘70s and ​‘80s to spy on Arab groups, as well as leftwing anti-South African apartheid activists. As Pulitzer Prize-winning author Glenn Frankel noted in Foreign Policy magazine in 2010, ​“The Anti-Defamation League participated in a blatant propaganda campaign against Nelson Mandela and the ANC in the mid 1980s and employed an alleged ​‘fact-finder’ named Roy Bullock to spy on the anti-apartheid campaign in the United States — a service he was simultaneously performing for the South African government. The ADL defended the white regime’s purported constitutional reforms while denouncing the ANC as ​‘totalitarian anti-humane, anti-democratic, anti-Israel, and anti-American.’”

i think you need to understand that fandom coincides especially on tumblr.com. this is a tagging based algorithm and i don’t blame people for trying to get engagement on things they work on. while yes it may be annoying to see a subset of fandom in a tag, it’s not outrageous. take the harry potter tags for example. there’s barely any actual harry content. and i’m sure it’s like that in most other fandoms too.
listen, i don’t enjoy everything in all the tags i follow but that’s just kind of how it goes. until tumblr finds a way to make tagging more niche we just have to co-exist. acting as though the fics in the tags are a hinderance when in reality they’re just a natural to come across ever so often isn’t productive.
again, i’m not trying to be rude. i hope you find what you’re looking for in the fandom.
"Harry Potter" is a name fandom, of course people use it to tell others that that post belongs to harry potter universe. And even in that we have now other sub-classification, for example I am a fan of Severus Snape so I tag my post in the "Snapedom".
Forgive me but no. I don't think you are trying to engage people when you clearly misstag things. Only thing you do is make people annoyed and irritated at you. In the example I made I understand, barely but I mean I can see it, if you tag "Tom Blyth"... I mean he is the actor that play Billy the kid. People may kow him from Snow, may take interest in him, and go and watch all his filmography... It's okay, more or less.
But Coriolanus Snow... He is not Billy the kid. Why do you think someone who is a fan of Snow want to see Billy the kid content? Again, a fan of the actor may want to see it, that I can understand. But "Coryo x reader" tag in a "Billy the kid x reader" story?! That's just rude. Only rude. (Also this tells me that the author can not even see the characters as the characters, but only as an actor with a pretty face, which is... Ugh. But this is for another rant).
But again, I understand that maybe it is a me problem. That's why I tagged "rant" in my post. It's my rant. Maybe others are okay with this, I don't know (maybe someone can tell me?). The only experiences i have with misstag was in the harry potter fandom and in the Snapedom when is extabilished that is rude to tag "severus snape" if you make an anti-post, and it's better tag "anti-snape" so the Snape fan can filter out your content (and the same on the other side, you tag "pro-snape" so the anti doesn't engage if they knew they can not be civil). That's my only experience.

Aviary System Intro Post
We've been putting this off for too long it's time to make something. We'll edit this as time goes on. For now, basic info and a list of current headmates. It should be a pretty decent frame of reference for our system, account, and individual headmates.
It's gonna get long so I'm gonna drop a read-more here.
Feel free to ask questions about our system :)
We're traumagenic, probably an OSDD system but not diagnosed. We are pro-endo and will block anti-endo blogs. So if you've got a problem with endogenic systems, get out. You don't know them better than they do.
We won’t block you outright but if you reblog a lot of content from anti-endo users that isn’t outright anti-endo (like generic system experiences with a “endos dni” tag on it), we won’t follow back. We have “anti endo,” “endos dni,” and similar tags filtered so it shows us even if your repost doesn’t have those tags. We have them filtered because anti-endo people suck and we don’t want to accidentally reblog something from them in case endos follow us!
On that topic, we're also supportive of xenogenders, neopronouns, otherkin, and other stuff like that. Bigotry will not be tolerated even if we don't have someone in our system who identifies with a certain label.
We don't have a full DNI list yet but it's kinda the usual for the most part, don’t be a dick or a bigot.
We tend to dislike blocking people since we want people to be allowed to speak, but if we say we’re done with an argument and that we’ll start blocking people who try to continue it, we mean it. That’s something we have to do for our mental health and if one member of the system doesn’t start blocking people to end an argument, someone else will.
Some of our headmates are littles and our host age regresses so we may interact with agere content, we feel obligated to say that our littles and regressors are not like this as some sort of kink, this is not DDLG, do not treat them as such. Our littles do not consent to being sexualized and that is a blockable offense for their safety.
Due to having littles we will refrain from following more adult blogs to curate our feeds for their comfort. Also, we won’t reblog or post NSFW on our account. That’s not a DNI, we just probably won’t follow you if you post too much of that, but we’re not gonna like block you or anything.
(Maybe we should make a sideblog dedicated to our littles though? Idk)
We're diagnosed with ADHD but probably also have autism, anxiety, and PTSD.
We consider ourselves a transmasc system because most of us are masculine, so you can call us by he/him, though we're used to people referring to us collectively by plural they/them. Ironically a lot of our headmates consider themselves cis in the wrong body bc plurality is just odd like that- even those who do consider themselves trans do so independently of the body, instead being trans in headspace.
We have a lot of fictives.
We tag posts with whoever made them or reblogged them under the format of [name] post.
Headmates
We usually list headmates in the order they showed up, but we decided to organize alphabetically this time to make this an actually useful reference.
Specific entries may update over time as we bother to put in new info, we won't say when it's updated since that doesn't seem terribly important, it's just a frame of reference for others. Feel free to ask about any headmates. Our headmates are ok with sourcemates and doubles for the most part.
Most headmate birthdays are the day they showed up. A select few of our fictives have canon birthdays, which will be included alongside the day they showed up.
We have some sort of specific difference in definition between pansexual and bisexual which is hard to define. I think for us pan is more of a "gender doesn't really factor into the attraction" and bi is more of a "attraction towards different genders feels different"?
Alastor (he/him)
Fictive (Hazbin Hotel), backup gatekeeper in case something goes wrong or Strahd needs a break. Aroace. As calm as Strahd in stressful circumstances, but in a totally different way- cheerful rather than stoic. He isn't often needed to step up as gatekeeper, but he's happy to do so when needed. Birthday- May 8, 2022.
Angel Dust (he/him)
Fictive (Hazbnin Hotel). Birthday- February 12, 2024.
Asakayu (he/him)
A lamia/snake person who looks like a cobra with black and gold scales. Somewhat colder and crueler than most, but not towards us, just in general. Birthday- August 26, 2022.
Charlotte Emily (she/her)
Goes by "Charlie" for short. Fictive (FNaF games; not the book's Charlie), little (9 y/o). Less feral than the other littles (aka slightly less likely to playfully bite you). Birthday- May 13. Showed up on January 19, 2023.
Darmiir Ashmaul (he/him)
Fictive (D&D character; mimic monk/rogue), middle (12 y/o). Agender but uses masc pronouns. Very friendly and optimistic. Loves to get along with and help others. Not to be confused with the Mimic, one of our FNaF fictives. Birthday- September 29, 2022.
Dipper Pines (he/him)
Fictive (Gravity Falls), middle (13 y/o), taskdoer. He genuinely enjoys learning stuff (unlike some of us) so he handles schoolwork and reading things, which can be a struggle for a lot of us. Birthday- August 31, 1999. Showed up on November 12, 2022.
Eclipse (they/them)
Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach Ruin), caretaker. A separate headmate from Sun and Moon, but fittingly is kind of a mix of both of them in terms of role and personality. They're calmer than Sun but more energetic than Moon, and can easily take up either of their roles if they need to switch out. The Daycare Attendants might be a subsystem or something similar, since they can wake each other up super easily. You know that clip during the Security Breach teasers with Sun twirling his head and switching into Moon? Yeah, it's literally that fast. Birthday- July 29, 2023.
Emyr (he/it)
Sometimes called “Em”/“Emm” as a nickname. Host, age slider/regressor (usually goes by “Emmy” when little), trauma holder, anger holder, anxiety holder, otherkin (dragon, cryptid, shadow/void, corvid), shapeshifter in headspace. Uranic, panromantic, gray asexual, trans demiboy. Sometimes feral, responsible for the otherkin reposts. Has some animalistic mannerisms, like head-bobbing like a lizard, preening people it cares about, and being bitey (especially when little). Hates being alone because he's really anxious (and gets frustrated by things easily and needs someone to calm him down) so he often has another headmate active with him. Birthday- September 22, 2003.
Evan Afton (he/him)
Fictive (FNaF 4), little (haven’t figured out age yet) and Michael’s younger brother. Gets along great with him despite their past issues. Cries and gets scared easily, somewhat quiet and anxious. Showed up very unexpectedly- most fictives we can predict in advance, but with Evan, we had a dream from his perspective, and then he woke up. He wasn’t even on our radar, so to speak. Birthday- August 8, 2023.
Grima (he/him)
Fictive (Fire Emblem: Awakening), former persecutor. After having a confrontation with Strahd for causing harm to our system, we didn't see him for a long time, then he came back just to mock a different system's persecutor. He said he got bored of tormenting us. Birthday- June 27, 2022.
Jeremy Fitzgerald (he/she)
Fictive (FNaF 2). Bigender, demisexual/romantic. Given how little canon info Jeremy has, ours is just based on stuff our brain made up. He was best friends with Michael during their school years, but fell apart after '83 and hadn't seen each other since- mostly due to what happened in '87. The two were very happy to see each other again. In fact, Jeremy's appearance in our system was likely indirectly due to Michael thinking about him and missing him. Despite everything, Jeremy is an optimistic and cheerful person, though she does show some amount of anxiety, especially surrounding her source. Showed up on September 27, 2023. Considers his birth year to be 1968.
Kris Dreemur (they/them)
Fictive (Deltarune), middle (16 y/o). Non-binary, bisexual. Chaotic gremlin. Good at masking as Emyr due to the two of them having sort of similar personalities and voice pitches, so on a few occasions they've stepped in for it when it needed a break (such as when around family). Birthday- June 25, 2022.
Lerian (he/they)
Soother, kind of a fictive? Pansexual, trans femboy. He's based on the Heron Laguz from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, but he popped up before we played it, so he's not based on any of the characters. They can comfort people who are upset, and they're also very good with littles and is often seen as a parental figure to them. Birthday- May 16, 2022.
Link (he/they)
Fictive (LoZ: Breath of the Wild), taskdoer. Transmasc, GNC, pansexual. Pretty determined when he sets his mind to something, which is what makes him a good taskdoer. Friendly and outgoing. Can and will talk, but tends to stay quiet when possible. Enjoys cooking. Birthday- June 9, 2023.
Lucifer (any/all)
Myctive (Christianity). Made because of our negative associations with our Christian upbringing. However, he doesn't hate Christianity. They're all about freedom- worship whatever you want to as long as you aren't using it to cause harm or dictate how others can live their lives. Ironically, for those reasons, he's way better about Christianity than our host, Emyr, who finds it to be a deeply uncomfortable topic due to personal reasons. Birthday- February 27, 2023.
Mary Schmidt (she/her)
Fictive (Five Nights at Candy's 1 and 3). Birthday- February 2nd, 2024.
Michael Afton (he/him)
Fictive (FNaF), trauma holder, depression holder. Bisexual. Snarky asshole (affectionate) and goofball (yes, this was written by one of his boyfriends- Emyr- how can you tell?) A lot of our fictives have some exotrauma, the brain usually picks them because they have something that it relates to (notice the amount of fictives with family trauma in this system), but the reason I didn't mark them as trauma holders is because the brain really picks on him with the exotrauma. A lot. His fortitude despite this fact is admirable, a lot of our other headmates wouldn't be able to handle this role. Please offer him a hug if you see him, he needs it. Showed up on March 24, 2023. Considers his birth year to be 1968.
Mimic (it/any)
Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach Ruin/Tales from the Pizzaplex). Really reclusive, so unlikely to be seen on this account. Don't really know if it can be classified as a little, but it sure acts like one. Somewhat dislikes MXES but tolerates it. Not to be confused with Darmiir, our D&D fictive whose species is mimic. Birthday- November 15th, 2023.
Mister Mistoffelees (he/neos)
Pronouns: He/him/his/his/himself
Gli/glit/glitter/glitters/glitterself
Spar/spark/sparkle/sparkles/sparkleself
Tri/trick/tricks/tricks/trickself
Il/illu/illusi/illus/illusionself
Fictive (Cats the musical, 1998). Birthday- January 31, 2024.
Moon (he/it)
Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach), caretaker. Was made specifically to take care of littles, but will take care of anyone who asks. Encourages people to get to bed at a reasonable time and boy our sleep schedule has never been better. He's a very good listener when you need to get something off your chest while trying to go to sleep. Calm, but also a little mischevious and known to tease people (unless they're upset, in which case he doesn't). Birthday- October 19, 2022.
M.X.E.S. (xe/it)
Fictive (FNaF: Security Breach Ruin), gatekeeper. Nonverbal. Xir gatekeeping ability is pretty similar to how xe can just teleport animatronics around in source, which makes it easy to get people in or out of front. Birthday- September 18, 2023
Napstablook (they/star/neb/gala)
Goes by "Blooky" for short. Fictive (Undertale), depression holder. They're pretty shy and don't like to feel like they're "wasting" time that could go to someone else being in front. Gala’s really nice though. If you see neb, offer neb a hug!
Star modified some of star’s pronouns to make them sound a bit better so here’s the full list of how they work, with they/them included for reference:
they/them/their/theirs/themself
star/star/stars/stars/starself
neb/nebula/nebulas/nebulas/nebulaself
gala/gala/galax/galaxys/galaxyself
Birthday- February 13, 2023
Pure Vessel (it/they)
Goes by "Vess" for short- Fictive (Hollow Knight), Protector, taskdoer. Nonverbal. Aroace. It can't talk or do any sort of sounds with our vocal cords (it can do stuff that doesn't require the voice, like clicking or whistling. We picked up an ASL class for it but we struggle to retain that kind of thing. Despite being a protector it’s actually very friendly and a bit goofy. Very good at pushing distractions out of its mind to get work done. It wants to learn to speak, and has been managing to get out a whisper as of late. Birthday- May 29, 2022.
The Robot (it/its)
Taskdoer. It has about as little emotion as a headmate can have, I think. It doesn't care to interact with people so it probably won't be using this account. It only talks when it must. It didn't even pick out a name. It just wants to get things done. Birthday- November 7th, 2022.
Rouxls Kaard (he/him)
Fictive (Deltarune). Bisexual. A Dramatic Bastard (affectionate). Doesn't really front much anymore. Birthday- June 17, 2022.
Rum Tum Tugger (he/him)

Hello. This is my new BYI/DNI section.
Do not interact:
※ Minors.
※ Bigots.
※ Pro-shippers.
※ Blank blogs.
Female readers can interact but don’t be weird or fetichize my works. Most of my mutuals don’t allow this, so don’t assume you can interact with them, though.
Billy Hargrove antis can interact as long as they’re not violently hateful or fall into victim-blaming rhetoric. Remember that he is just a fictional character. You are allowed to dislike him and be triggered by him but you are being nothing but performative when you send death threats or even racial slurs to people who like him.
New rules
In light of those recent events I will too be changing some rules about my page. This is mostly to avoid minors in my page but at the same time it will also be aimed to avoid blogs who don’t reblog anything at all. To the latter: you are in your right to be a lurker but I am also in my right to block you. Likes are useless in this platform. There’s no feed algorithm here. If you enjoy a post, reblog it. Likes don’t help artists and writers at all.
Just as before, only adults (older than 18) are allowed to interact with this page and @grapes-in-velvet (side art account), since they both have content that isn’t suitable for all ages. If you somehow found this blog or that one via my SFW Instagram account @/sugraonemocktail, just know that that’s the only place I’ll ever allow people of all ages. Not these ones.
As I’ve said before, Billy antis can interact if they want as long as they’re not violently hateful or try to push a narrative onto me or my mutuals. I don’t block Billy antis, I just filter their names so I don’t accidentally interact with them. But feel free to block me and/or ask me to block you.
Here are some new rules:
※ Before you interact, make sure you have your age in your biography or pinned post, or linked in your pinned post. Otherwise you’ll be blocked.
※ I will not allow anonymous questions at all anymore. Sorry, but I can’t know for sure if whoever is sending me a question or a writing request is an adult. However, you can ask me to censor your username in my answer to these asks if you’d like.
※ I will block any accounts that are:
Minors, obviously.
Blank (‘Untitled’ blog, default profile picture, no posts reblogged).
Default with very few posts reblogged.
Customized but with no posts reblogged.
Spam likers. If you don’t at least comment my posts I’ll just assume you’re a lurker.
I repeat: if you’re a minor, do not interact with me. Both YOU and I will get in trouble. I could literally get in legal trouble without it being my fault.

My faith based opinions that would have be arrested by chronically online christian bloggers are that you can be feminist and be a christian, that Christ wanted women to follow him and women have always worked outside of the home and it wasn’t unbiblical. That being a pro life feminist means that we ensure the safety of women and children. That also, if your “godly” husband thinks that you dying in childbirth or from any complications in your pregnancy is something he is ok with - you need to leave him. He is demonically possessed. Demonic possession isn’t always like in the movies, you have to listen and trust god when he is guiding you and telling you to be safe ie, our gift of fear. Also christian women need to stop consuming the content from this new wave of neo trad girls when all do is say they’re anti feminists and have a mostly male audience. It’s not spiritually enriching or productive. Our faith is not a trend. It used to be edgy “anti sjw atheists” making this content, now it’s “new age traditional conservatives” using our faith as an aesthetic. It’s false and it will change again to something else.
I think I’m just talking from experience because my little sister is consuming this type of content. She changed from the ‘anti feminist anti sjw atheist’ to a ‘crystal healing reiki student using astrology and essential oils for any injury’ to finally, the ‘anti women’s rights trad wife’ despite not even having a boyfriend. I’m engaged but I’ve gotten a lot of hurtful things told to me by for wearing pants and having a job. I really hope one day she sees that all these people she watches and follows online are either grifting for money or so chronically online that they’re mentally ill and aren’t participating in society. But having a relationship with God is eternal, it will never change because he will never change.
Yeah I never understood why Christians where so defensive against "Christian feminist" but had no issue with "Christian nationalists". I mean if you think feminism has no basis on the Bible because women have to be submissive, so does nationalism because we Christians are supposed to claim only one nation that is the kingdom of God. Same for the Christian conservatives who will mock queer/LGBT Christians over the fact that homosexuality is a sin and them making a whole personality/pride around their identity, when their are themselves building their entire personality around hating the self and entertaining a whole load of sin (violence, constantly cussing people, picking fights, etc.)
There was an AITA with a woman asking if she was the asshole for shutting down her husband to have a delivery at home and without painkillers just bc his mom & sisters did it. He argued it was the only for them to "respect her" I-
Maybe it's just me but I don't consider those trad pickme as actually Christian?? like to me, they are comedians larping as Christians. They are the Christianese washed version of the girl boss. There's nothing "soft Christian girl uwu" in putting out whole videos every day. That stuff is A LOT of work and logistics. What they won't tell you is that they also have a team (editing, copywriting, social media managers, etc) which doesn't fit with the "I don't want to join the workd force and stay at home all day uwu" narrative. Just bc you're not in an office doesn't mean you're not working nor help the corporate world running - especially by hiring people. As someone who's doing vlog on the low, unless filming /editing it all day, it's impossible to regularly update video (~weekly basis) without having a team. And since those women braf about taking care of their house and child this is unlikely they are in fact filming & editing all their videos by themselves.
IDK most of those girls come off as highkey deceptive, bored and just want to flex their lavish lifestyle. In a society when accesss to work is a privilege, not having to even work seems like a luxury. Those chicks are capitalizing off of it.
That being said, I love the irony of those "anti female rights" girls. They've been to school (isn't there a middle aged trad guru who tells girl to not pursue university when she herself has a PhD? 💀), most likely own a bank account, opened their social account without asking for any male permission, wear make up..... but they will swear up and down that females rights and feminism is pointless.... Yeaaah.
I'm 100% convinced most of the girls looking up this content will grow out of this phase though. That's why I'm not too bothered by that. This trend is just the natural consequences of the millenial #girlboss thing - the girls just want to rest for a while lol You can be that in ~10 years, the pendulum will come back in, and a whole new generation of girls who had witnessed the fall from grace of these trad redpill pickme (divorced, single mother, DV, etc.) will revive the girlboss thing as a defiance to the system responsible of that situation ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Notes About Rant Essays
I try to choose my topics based on what problems I notice and what I have a deep understanding of or affects me directly. If I myself don’t experience it I speak based on the communities I’ve surrounded myself with and my own in-depth research. That being said while I am many things, being omniscient and having every experience in the world is not one of them. If I speak on something directly relating to you that isn’t completely factually accurate or is offensive/insensitive to that community you’re a part of, please let me know. I have an ask box and my DMs are open, and I’m open to conversation and criticism as long as you’re respectful and have constructive intentions. I try to educate myself as best I can, but I am still human and still learning. However I will not accept any conversation that vehemently insists on defending anything or anyone listed in the DNI section above. There’s no excuse for bigotry, ever
Nerdy Interests
More will be added to this list as I remember them or find more interests. If you don’t see something but want to know if I enjoy or will make content regarding it, feel free to leave something in my ask box
Also: if there’s anything problematic about any authors or things listed, please let me know. I try to ensure what I enjoy has no negative content within or attached to it, but my awareness of such issues is nowhere near perfect

Me at some people right now
Tumblr media
Here’s some tips for people who consider themselves anti-rw//de.
1. Filter out the RW//DE tag so you don’t see RW/DE posts. This is your responsibility. If it makes you feel attacked to see criticism of RW//BY then prevent yourself from seeing it. Nobody needs to shut up or soften their tone for your comfort. Sometimes even when you don’t seek out RW//DE posts and even when only the correct tags are used, posts will still show up in the main RW//BY tag if people do things like type ‘RW//BY’ without the dashes. That’s a bug in their system, that has nothing to do with us. So filter out the RW//DE tag and you’ll be much, much less likely to see those posts. I would also recommend filtering out tags like ‘RW//BY criticism,’ ‘anti-RW//BY,’ and ‘RW//BY bashing’ to further avoid these sort of posts.
2. Block RW//DE blogs. Sometimes Tumblr will show you ‘recommended blogs’ that are actually the opposite of the things you want even if you have tags filtered out. Once again, that’s a bug in their system, that has nothing to do with RW//DE blogs. However, sometimes RW//DE posters will post RW//DE content with the main ‘RW//BY’ tag or without using the ‘RW//DE’ tag or other filterables. That sucks and I think ‘pro’ and ‘anti’ tags should always be used so people can filter out. However, the response to that shouldn’t be ranting about how all RW//DE posters hate every single RW//BY fan and are trying to force people out of the fandom, when it takes you three seconds to block the person. There are like ten to twenty five frequent RW//DE posters at any given time, you will run out of blogs to ever even see. I personally have blocked likely over two hundred anti-RW//DE blogs and am still getting hate, so if I can do that and still not complain about every single RW//BY fan, then you guys can block the maybe twenty five of us that exist and then just go about your RW//DE free business please and thank you.
3. Don’t make puppet accounts to stalk the people that you claim are ‘trying to force everyone to hate RW//BY’ when they’ve already blocked you. If blogs have a. asked to be left alone. b. actively tried to avoid the fn//dm, c. said repeatedly that they don’t care if others like RW//BY, or d. specifically gone out of their way to try and make it so you personally can’t interact with their stuff, stop trying to interact with their stuff and stop claiming that they - included in statements like ‘RW//DE posters’ and ‘the HT//DM’ - are the ones seeking out members of the fn//dm and trying to force people to not praise RW//BY. How hard is it to just follow the literal tumblr rules and just let people block you? For people that claim to be harassed, some people out here are sure doing a lot of stalking. Please stop stalking.
4. One of the things with anti-rw//de people is that they claim that they’re fine with criticism and critique, but that the rw//de posters and ‘HT/DM are just all such evil cruel liars that they’re forced to defend poor sweet capitalist corporations and the majority straight, majority white, majority male writers who definitely never did anything bad or problematic at all. So here’s a hot tip; STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO USE THE RW//DE TAG if you’re going to immediately lump them in with those people you hate so much. If you see criticism that isn’t tagged as RW//DE, don’t get mad at people and order them to use the RW//DE tag.
5. STOP GANGING UP ON PEOPLE FOR EVEN THE BAREST FORM OF CRITICISM JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T PERSONALLY AGREE WITH IT, which is something really evidenced in the fact that when RW//DE posters started doing a ‘nitpick November’ game where we posted a bunch of personal opinions or very small criticisms of stuff that didn’t matter that much, anti-rw//de people still harassed us and bullied us and called us ‘pathetic’ and told us to stop being such vile haters wasting our time. Y’all have people in your fandom who have out and out said that they’re ‘no longer taking criticism,’ if you’re so against hiveminds, make an active effort to make people feel comfortable criticizing the damn show even when you don’t personally agree with everything they say.
6. Take the L every once in awhile, for real. No, not every criticism people have against RW//BY or MK//EK is wrong. No, not every criticism people have against the FN//DM is wrong. If you can’t say “yeah, that was fucked up” about some of it, than you are just fooling yourself. If someone says that Miles Luna called Tifa Lockhart a prostitute in a clearly meant to be derogatory way, then said it was because of her outfit, and then lied about it, and your answer to that is either to completely ignore it or wrack your brain for a way to defend it, you are a clown. Take the L. If someone says that Miles Luna said that he wished he’d ‘stuck to his guns’ and did ‘bury your gays’ with Pilot Boi simply because he was popular, and your response is to either ignore it or wrack you brain for a way to defend it, you are a clown. Take the L. If someone points out that Kerry Shawcross said that Ironwood’s new prosthetic symbolized him losing his humanity, and your response is to either ignore it or to find a way to pretend that he actually said ‘Ironwood’s lack of thought and rushing into things is a reason he became a villain’ than you are a clown. Take the L. If someone says “it’s a bad thing that the ‘civil rights / racism allegory’ storyline focused much more on taking down ‘the bad kinds of Faunus’ and taking down ‘the bad civil rights groups’ and taking down the ‘people that fight for their rights in too radical of a way,’ than it ever did on actually showing people fight for their rights,” and your response is either to ignore it or get angry and call them Adam apologists and claim that there are other civil rights groups that we just don’t see that are actually great and that it’s not a problem at all that we never see them because Adam totally was just usurping the cause of the White Fang for his own power and yes for some reason that needed to be ninety percent of the ‘civil rights / racism allegory’ story... You are a clown. Take the L. If a Jewish person says “this fn//dm needs to stop throwing around words like ‘nazi’ or ‘genocide,’ they need to stop using the holocaust to prop up their hatred of a fictional character, they need to stop making light of the horror Jewish and Romani people faced in order to make a point, goyim do not get to ‘make jokes’ or ‘make satire’ about that suffering, and also Coco Adel being based off a nazi is messed up, and also Camp Camp is even more messed up,” and your response is to either ignore it or accuse the Jewish person of antisemitism for daring to point any of that out... You are worse than a clown. Take the damn L.
Some of you anti-rw//des are such overly-defensive people. You can like RW//BY. I have yet to see anyone tell you that you can’t. But by God, please just take note of the above. Because some of y’all fall hard into being horrible people and legit lean into bigotry sometimes in your haste to condemn any and all criticism and defend literally everything in this famously flawed show by famously flawed writers who work for a famously flawed company. Filter the RW//DE tag, block blogs you hate seeing, don’t stalk people, don’t tell people to use the RW//DE tag, actually let people criticize RW//BY even when you don’t agree, and learn to take a loss and say “Yeah, that was pretty fucked up.”

sleepover saturday! unpopular options for you main fandoms? (yes i am late we aren't going to talk about that)
you're good ! you can ask anything (provided it's not too personal/mean) anytime.
also i'm not sugarcoating this lol. i'm mostly into ck and hsmtmts but i'm gonna do all four because they're all in my bio
hsmtmts: i guess i don't have any qualms or unpopular opinions, the fandom is relatively unproblematic from what i've seen. the whole portwell vs rina ship stuff if stupid, ship and let ship yk. besides we all know the portbowell thruple is the way to go lol. also this isn’t unpopular but they should bring back seb and stop acting like he’s stupid all the time
cobra kai: also, relatively small and unproblematic, as horned up as they may be at any given time lol. i will say that i'm not a fan of the "zacchio" ship (the ship of the real life actors billy zabka and ralph macchio). i like their bromance and the whole joke that they can’t stop touching knees (because it’s true kasdj--) but i think it’s kinda weird to ship real people with thoughts and feelings and families and stuff. it’s one thing if they’re dead or like super problematic (tr*mp x shrek crackfic supremacy...even though shrek can do better lmao). but i was in the dan and phil fandom (i watched cringe things on yt it’s whatever) and that one video dan made for his coming out where he said he got actual ptsd from fans making graphic ship content and harassing him...it makes rpf kinda gross to me. i’m sure (most) fans don’t harass them about it so at least there’s that, but still :/
stranger things: i’ve kinda dipped my toe in the fandom, but all i have to say on it is that it’s obviously very big and mainstream and overwhelming. also in that people are too “anti” this and “pro” that. i, as a person, am not really “pro” or “anti” anything, i’m just vibing. i have my opinions but i’m not gonna be rude to people about them unless they come at me. i dunno, i just kinda poke at the st fandom with a ten-inch pole lol
sanders sides: *sigh*...i guess anything in the “ts crit” is relatively unpopular, there’s only like 4 blogs i’ve seen that even have ts crit, including mine. the fandom clearly has a purity culture issue as well as an issue idolizing thomas. any fan content that attempts to link canon culture turns out worse because i think it’s better to just take the characters and do your own thing with them. i wish the fandom would have a clear indication on what the rating is, because it feels like you shouldn’t post anything not T for Teen at most, but on the other hand, there’s people posting tentacle porn (so much tentacle porn...). i dunno, the whole thing is messy. but i’m not leaving bc nostalgia and i wanna see where the mess goes
i think that’s it? if you have disagreeing opinions with me it’s whatever, we can still be friends. thanks for listening to me ramble, i like criticizing the things i love <33

not trying to cause drama but what do u think about the pxrn videos and stuff being sent to anti endos? and anti endos getting hate anons from pro endos?
Tumblr media
First of all, I just want to say that it's completely understandable to be overwhelmed by all of this. It is really overwhelming. I read the other ask that you sent and wanted me to keep private and I agree that it sounds like dissociation. I'd really encourage you to consider blocking or blacklisting the syscourse tag and unfollowing any syscourse blogs at this time. Even if it's just temporary. Please take care of yourself!
AFAIK there’s no solid proof about anything beyond he said-she said and anon asks. While it’s important to support people who are victims of online abuse, and never ever say they’re faking, I also agree that the way some people are handling these situations does feel a little odd. I can think of multiple reasons for that. For one, someone might not know that there are many things they can do to prevent anon hate & online abuse.
How to handle anon hate:
I’d really encourage people who are receiving anon hate to turn off anonymous questions. You can’t get anon hate if you don’t allow anons! You can do this by going to your blog settings.
Tumblr media
Anons can also be reported and blocked. If you report them, Tumblr will be able to take action against the person behind them. Blocking an anon will block the person’s IP address. Be sure to report before you block, because I’m pretty sure blocking deletes the ask too!
Tumblr media
Blocking doesn’t always work, though, so if you’re still receiving anon hate then you should, first, report it and then turn off anonymous questions in your settings.
Also, be careful about posting the anon hate. For example, if you received anon hate with a link to a virus, and you post that...you are now exposing all of your followers to a virus. Anyone could potentially click on it. 
If you have been sent explicit content, report that and DO NOT POST IT because you will technically be breaking Tumblr’s TOS by putting that on your blog. You should screenshot the evidence and report it.
Other precautions you can take:
Don’t share personal information on the internet, like your legal name or where you live
Don’t click on any links you receive from blogs you don’t know
Shut off submissions
Do not allow asks with media
Only allows DMs from blogs you follow
Consider remaking your blog
Consider using a different pseudonym
Hide your blog from search results 
Report any known blogs that are harassing you
Contant Tumblr’s help center for more information on what you can do
If you are being chronically stalked/harassed, SAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE
Some resources:
System Internet Safety (Resource Post)
Self help Resources
Coping with Syscourse
I want to say that if you are someone who is following a person who is constantly receiving anon hate...please check in with your mental health. Witnessing that can be extremely overwhelming and even retraumatizing. You are responsible for no one’s mental health except your own. Please take care of yourself!
I also need to be a bit blunt about something. This isn’t directed at you, anon, it more about something I’ve been seeing lately... If someone is genuinely being harassed or stalked, that is NOT syscourse. That's abuse. Abuse should NOT be used for discourse points.
I know someone who was genuinely abused by a pro-endo. Anti-endos took their abuse and used it to bolster their side. Basically used real genuine trauma someone went through as discourse points. Because of that, NO ONE BELIEVED THE PERSON WHO SURVIVED THAT ABUSE. They had to deal with people constantly fakeclaiming them and saying that their trauma was just something anti-endos made up to shit on the endogenic community. In reality, it was never about discourse to begin with.
Please do not use someone else’s abuse to make a statement on pro-endos or anti-endos. Don’t turn someone’s trauma into fucking discourse. It crosses too many lines.
That being said, I also understand what it’s like to question what’s real and what’s not. Especially as a dissociative person. It’s true that people do fake being cyberbullied sometimes. It’s pretty easy to do that online, especially on Tumblr where you could just send yourself an anon ask. But I don’t think it’s right to claim that people are faking, on the off chance they aren’t. ALWAYS give people the benefit of the doubt and believe people who confide with you about their abuse.
Although, there are some cases where people fake being cyberbullied in order to harm others. I actually had an ex-friend who did this. He would send anon hate to himself for ulterior motives. He did it for basically everything. For control, support, money, notes, followers, attention, and to bolster his side in discourse. He also did it to manipulate the people he was abusing. The only reason I know it was him was sending himself anons was because he got caught by his partner, who he was also sending anon hate to so frequently to the point that they started having nervous breakdowns thinking they were being stalked.
I’m not sharing this because I think you should doubt people, but I think it’s important to be aware of these possibilities and develop some healthy caution. The biggest warning sign imo should be your own mental health. Pay attention to that. You are responsible for your own mental health and protecting yourself from cyberbullying. The same goes for everyone else.
No matter how many resources and advice and helping hands I or anyone else offered to my ex-friend, nothing changed. He never genuinely tried to stop the anon hate, because in reality he didn’t want it to stop. He benefitted so much from it. Every time he hurt me and I tried to communicate it, suddenly he was conveniently flooded with more anon hate and I needed to immediately stop holding him accountable and start comforting him, instead. None of that is normal.
Please, if you’re ever in a situation like that, always choose yourself.

Regarding the proship = pro-para post you made, I can genuinely say most proship people I’ve met are actually completely limited to fiction entirely, but every pro-para person is proship bc it helps blur the lines, unfortunately.
It’s like worms getting into a barrel of apples. You just gotta analyze it and you’ll see if there’s a worm in the one you’re holding lol
see you more or less understand what I’m trying to say? A lot of the time I don’t really like the terms or words affiliated with proship? It’s a tricky thing to explain.
see to me by normalizing this content and giving a gateway for Propara you open yourself to defending or standing by actual horrible people. I find it gross that propara is seen as the same as ‘oh we’re pro recovery!’ When that’s not the case? You’re giving paraphiliacs places to retreat too, to enable themselves. Uhm! Not good?? This can be seen with that one oddballs website, it exceeded far out from fiction. But plenty of proshippers lingered there, they’re normalized and the gap between fiction and reality overtime blurs to where it’s the same.
Proship has been used a scapegoat by propara, radqueers, and so many more I’ve noticed too. You’re standing by creeps.
I rather not have anything to do with it if this idealogy defends and actively enables propara. They’re biased. They enable. It’s gross I don’t like it? I’m very stubborn, my VEIW can be also seen as biased but a chance of perspective has generally changed so much since leaving. Dynamics and relationships were so normalized to me. I was ruined. And I hate how proshipper ignore and pretend as if this isn’t damaging. It’s so often to see proshippers ignore so many claims.
treat antis like they’re stupid and ignore genuinely good claims. I do understand some proshippers aren’t actual pedophiles..But over time it becomes a risky thing since it feels like a pipeline.
it’s not a good community, it depends who you interact with like you said I suppose, but generally it’s just not the best. I think a lot of the people in it are sick, I understand need an outlet but this ain’t it chief!!
I also understand the Apple analogy that but is it worth the risk? Why pick from the barrel? Why not the tree where you know it wouldn’t have any worms. But than again there will always be bad apples so if sucks???
It’s just, idk you’re grouping yourself with awful people. Why label yourself? Also Thanks for being sorta polite! A lot nicer than most I’ve met whoops. :p
It’s hard to explain my Point of veiw since, I’m vaguing very heavily about my own experiences, and what I’ve witnessed since I now associate with Antis. I often see people who are literally awful people get away with so much, they have people mutuals despite being horrible. They’re excused with the term ‘oh it’s fiction’ when it’s inherently biased. I’ve seen post about minors only for adults to get angry at the antis for not helping them and not doing as such themselves? I don’t like the hypocrisy of it all. To me these circles destroy me mentally anyway, might be different for others, but I cannot stand by those who do this. there’s a divide in my mind that has these thoughts still lingering and than the guilt fueled by it. I don’t know how anyone could do this.
it normalizes so much and I just resent that fact. I’ve met people who just are into feral porn. Self harm, guro, necro. It makes me feel sick I stand by the, disassociating myself was the best thing ever. My own morals are iffy. But it’s still y’know? It’s nice, you can just do whatever, not concern yourself with all of this.
but I do understand that I think you ACTUSLLY put the propara thing in better terms for me? Thank you!! sorry if this was so long I feel sorta obligated to explain myself. I don’t agree with the instant demonization of proshippers personally, I’m a sympathizer or I guess that’s how people would label me if they didn’t understand where I’m coming from. A lot of my old mutuals I still worry for, many just being victims, traumatized and just lost. I doubt those kids were pedos are future groomers, it’s gross. I don’t like antis or proshippers, but I’m an Anti I guess now?
I think a lot of the time I also see minors drawn to these communities because pro shippers give them the sense of security that they’re not fucked up for thinking this way, they feel seen. Which is again one of the reason I joined so maybe I’m projecting. I know it was the same for a few others.
it’s just not a good community, I don’t like it even if there are some people who aren’t crazy I guess bleh sorry if I repeat myself again I feel obligated 2 explain more :(

Okay, I'm not trying to come into your asks to cause trouble I'm just confused and a little concerned. I'm really really glad you're watching and enjoying kp, I'm always so happy when I see someone new in the tag freaking out, it brings me so much joy. However, your condemning kimchay because of a few years age difference while simultaneously being pro vegasporsche is making my head hurt. I'm all for shipping whoever you want to ship, but the amount of ick ew kimchay I'm seeing from you when vegas literally tried to SA porsche is uh... idk it doesnt make sense. Kimchay is completely g rated, and a few years difference is really nothing at all, especially in comparison to SA. Like, I'm honestly hoping you can explain your thoughts on this cause, uh, what? Anyway, welcome to the fandom?
hi anon
okay I am going to answer this in two parts
1. I am not a kimchay anti or some kimchay hater who’s going to fill the kimchay tag with terrible takes and derogation of them. once I finish kinnporsche I will have absolutely zero interaction with kimchay, and beyond a reblog or two of kinnporsche content I probably won’t interact with the kinnporsche fandom. so I promise I’m not out here trying to establish myself as a fandom regular and/or a kimchay anti I was really just voicing my thoughts as I was watching the episode
2. even if the age gap isn’t that big (as far as the last couple anons and people have said chay is 18 and kim is 21?) their relationship in general doesn’t sit well with me.
it looks like chay’s feelings are coming from a place of admiration, worship and puppy love -> there’s nothing wrong with this but it does highlight how young and naive he is
whereas kim’s feelings (or rather actions) look to be coming from a place of “curiosity” and “i wonder what would happen if I did this thing-“ and not really any feelings of love or care
(aka the: “I love you, do you love me?” scene really shows both chay’s naivety and kim’s feelings)
I just think chay is too young and innocent to be engaging in a relationship with someone like kim who is not only older but lives a lifestyle full of violence and trauma. the gap in emotional maturity is huge (even if the age gap isn’t)
all this being said, I can see from the anon’s I’ve gotten and the interactions I’ve had with the kimchay live-blogging posts that this seems to be a very needled topic in the fandom and therefore I will probably strive to stay far away from it while I finish this show
thank you for asking so gently :) I really appreciate it. and I hope I don’t spoil your (or anyone else’s) kimchay appetite.
I very much live by the philosophy: ship who you want to ship it’s all fake and happiness is the only thing that matters
I also live by the philosophy that the things we interact with in fiction do not translate to the things we are okay (or not okay) with in real life. it’s about knowing your boundaries and using critical thinking to say, “hey this is pretty fucked up and if I saw this in real life I would be disgusted and scared but this is a fictional universe where the actions and consequences of characters are contained within this piece of media and I am interacting with it without engaging in those actions in real life. my feelings for the content are based within the context of the show and not within what I do or don’t do in real life”
sending gentleness always :)

But speaking of Hero aca, I think it does feel like the discrimination thing got changed, because openly attacking "mutants" was reserved for the klan expy in the one chapter and it was even mentioned that they were a dieing breed of bigots. I think having the country side be more racist makes sense, but once you make them attack kids and try to kill them it gets a bit too much. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I don't think lynchings of foreigners take place in japanese villages often.
I didn’t think it was changed--at least, not entirely. 
If there was any change, it was a change of focus from “being Quirkless is like being marginalized” to “having a heteromorphic Quirk makes you a target for violence and prejudice.” 
It’s not that either focus is bad necessarily. And it’s not as if the “having a heteromorphic Quirk makes you the subject of prejudice and ridicule” was not already implicit in the manga and the English dub (more on that in a moment). 
And before I get any further into this discussion--which I’ll put under “Read More” due to length but also content warnings--there will be discussions about bigotry, disablism, racism, antisemitism, and homophobia, including personal experiences I’ve had contending with bigotry. Plus, a content warning for mentions of war, genocide, lynchings, anti-Black violence and Nazis. This is going to be a lot of rambling. 
When My Hero Academia started, what got my attention first was, “Oh, so this is a world where anyone can look like anyone and have any body type or any size or power--and you are accepted and get to live!” 
And yes, that thought was me missing the giant neon-flashing sign where Izuku’s first line of narration was that this was a world where people were not created equally. But that was why I thought, “Oh, a world where you can have any body type, size, power, or appearance and be accepted”: because Izuku was showing a world where, yes, there are people as large as Mount Lady, but the size of UA and its entrances accommodates anyone of that size*; and yes, someone like Ojiro can have his clothes customized anywhere (a point brought up again much later with Deternat); but when you don’t have a Quirk, now you are in the minority, and rather than being seen as a party that doesn’t need regulation for your power set, you are subjected to abuse and ridicule because not only are you different and outside the norms of medicine and day to day living, but you lack abilities that others have that they are willing to use to better their life, whether as Pro Hero, a Villain, or just in the privacy of their home. 
(*There are at least two glaring omissions I’m making when mentioning Mount Lady and the accommodations at UA: more on that in a moment as well.) 
I thought MHA was going to be about “here is a metaphor for disability, and how that discrimination persists even when people get more abilities.” And seeing the storyline for All Might, being born Quirkless, losing his Quirk, and more than all of that suffering from organ loss and a shortened lifespan, as well as the inability to do the things he used to do--all of that fed into my reading of MHA as a disability allegory. It’s not like it isn’t there--it’s just more complicated than that, and my fixation on that detail had me overlook what the series was setting up early on with regard to discrimination based on appearance. 
And it is that appearance-based discrimination in MHA, and while I don’t find it unrealistic or unbelievable or not applicable to our current situation, I do think that it’s a less realistic story and a less complicated one because it reduces discrimination to fear of appearances we haven’t encountered before--whereas a lot of discrimination in our world is more about how appearances, race, ethnicity, and cultures were made to be feared not only for being unfamiliar but because people attached so much bigotry, hate, prejudices, and baseless assumptions in order to make sense of their changing world. 
For example, I don’t think that cases of white supremacist bigotry emerge solely out of “this person looks different from me”: it’s a bigotry created out of hatred for that person, and a hatred born out of fear, yes, but fear because something is not matching this silly person’s narrow understanding of the world. It is systematic, after centuries of idiots who looked at people who looked different than them--and made up excuses to back up what they wanted to do. “I want to enslave someone--so I’ll just enslave them, then make up reasons to justify that I am enslaving because of this interpretation of the Christian bible, or this racist assumption that I claim is actually proven by science and anthropology, or this supposedly enlightened argument.” 
I don’t get that same realistic or believable complexity in MHA. It is, “This person looks different, therefore let’s discriminate against them.” Horikoshi got closer when just having the villagers fearful that Shoji can spread something by touch to the child--but when nearly every human being has a Quirk (and even some non-human animals), and you just assume the non-human looking people have those kind of Quirks and not, say, Overhaul or Shigaraki, that’s a stretch for me. It does demonstrate the flaw in these bigots’ arguments, and it is sadly realistic that there bigots just that fucking dumb. But my point is that there are also just as many people who hide that stupidity by pretending, “No, no, science or religion or human studies prove that my bigotry is actually logical, moral, and correct!” I don’t get that with Shoji’s story. I get narrowminded, bigoted, ignorant people out in the boondocks; I don’t see MHA showing how that kind of bigotry persists even in “educated” circles. 
(Those people are not educated, hence the air-quotes: they’re just dumb motherfuckers who think their PhD makes them an authority on a topic. Motherfucker, I have a PhD in literature--that just means an institution gave me a PhD, just like some institution gave that dumb motherfucker a degree. Getting the degree doesn’t mean either of it necessarily earned it, or that our opinions are reasonable enough, not without having more experts challenge our points of view in peer-review. And not when there are studies beyond my field where someone else is better adept at speaking to that topic than I am. It’d be like me saying, “I’m a doctor, so I can perform surgery”: no, I can give a lecture on Frankenstein, I can’t literally be Dr. Stein!)
So, if you wanted a quick and easy fix to this: don’t have an arc where they say that such anti-heteromorph bigotry is primarily in the rural areas. 
Forgive my limited scope, living almost all of my life in the United States and never going outside of it or Canada--that means I’m not a fair enough person to remark as well as I want to about racial and political topics in Japan. But from where I sit in the United States, having grown up and lived in primarily urban and suburban areas--hell no, bigotry isn’t primarily in the rural United States, it’s fucking part of the United States, across all parts of the country. In my college and grad school years, I wasn’t called “faggot” by homophobes in some rural area--that was in major urban cities. I didn’t see the Confederate flag just in rural areas--I had to see that fucking flag flown through by rednecks in my urban neighborhood high school, by rednecks who weren’t even attending my high school, not only because they were racist sacks of shit but because they saw that one assistant principal was a Black man (who went to Tuskegee University), and one assistant principal was a white woman, and they decided to “own” them by putting up that emblem of bigotry to stick to anyone who wasn’t white and a man. 
And that’s not even getting into having a family member around my age as a kid whose parents condoned him not only having the Confederate flag but the fucking Nazi swastika--thank fucking Christ my parents were like, “Oh, hell no, those people are no longer family, and our kid is not hanging out with a fucking Nazi.” 
(I write all of this, and I sadly realize how much groundwork was set up long before 2016 had people voting for a fucking orange Nazi for the White House.) 
It is obvious in MHA that this anti-heteromorph prejudice does extend to the urban areas. The manga sort of acknowledges that. Sure, Mineta didn’t mean anything when he said Shoji looked like an octopus--but he still said it, maybe out of admiration or fetishizing, both of which can be dimensions of prejudice. Pony may be from the United States and maybe kind of country in her demeanor--but she still made that remark to Shoji when she got to UA. In the English dub, I was so happy how the anime was handling just how much the characters accepted each other regardless their appearance--and then they have Jiro calling Tokoyami a “bird-brain,” which, at the time, no, that doesn’t fit her character or this setting at all--but in retrospect, after seeing the anti-heteromorph hostilities, and what happens to Jiro and Tokoyami in the fight against All For One, sure, fine, whatever, let that stupid remark stay in. (If that was not just in the English dub but in the original Japanese, I better hear Jiro apologize for that remark.) 
But so far that is a lot of rambling on my part, so let me get back to your actual questions: 
You point out how the anti-heteromorph attitude in the manga was reserved largely for the Klan expy in that one chapter. As I said before, this is built upon a bit more to show systematic oppression of heteromorphs in both the main manga and in the Vigilantes spinoff: size, shape, lack of standardized clothing (although immediate alterations are available for, say, Ojiro, and from Detnerat), Mount Lady largely stuck in the country in school due to her giant Quirk (and then causing property damage, losing money, losing insurance coverage due to her Quirk...), Todoroki’s awful remark to the dog-headed police chief. It is definitely ramped up in starts and stops--until Horikoshi throws in so much of it right at this chapter that, rather than feeling like a logical build up, comes across as hitting the gas to rush to all of this new information.
It’s not even like those details, like the historical events that one PLF heteromorph is shouting, were brought up in the light novels, the films, the video games, encyclopedias, Horikoshi’s end-of-volume notes--you know, places that aren’t quite the main story, but you could excuse as, “It was brought up before, you just had to look for it.” It was there, I did look for it, I mentioned a lot of it--but this is a rush of a story that does not seem as well structured as it could be. Maybe the anime could fix that in adaptation…except they did cut Spinner and those Klan expies from the MLA arc, so who knows. 
And I already know how I would have revised this arc to make all of this work better: 
Have Shoji and Koda face off against Spinner during the war arc--that starts the ball rolling on all the anti-heteromorph stuff and building up an actual link between these characters that wasn’t established until now in the manga
Have Spinner in the war arc make an unintentionally splashy presence in that fight that indeed gets attention from heteromorphs
Have Skeptic notice that--and seize upon it
Do _not_ have All For One take over Shigaraki [not just yet, anyway] and instead operate in the shadows and approach Spinner in secret
Have All For One say he wants Shigaraki to stand on his own feet, not on his “father’s” laurels--but that he wants Spinner to watch out for his “boy”
Have All For One say that Spinner just needs more confidence (public speaking skills, charisma)--and power, and that’s when he gives him those Quirks, not just to make him more confident and more powerful, but to protect those he cares about, like Shigaraki, and those like him, who are also heteromorphs
Have the new Quirks initially work out really well for Spinner: he’s more charismatic, more confident, more powerful, inspiring heteromorphs with actual persuasive arguments (even if the results are going to be unethical and horrendous) and logical arguments (including that, yes, sometimes you do break laws and fight back to protect and enforce civil rights)
But as we have with Nagant and Gigantomachia, show that All For One always has an ulterior motive, and that this deal with the devil turns Spinner into that barely cognizant brute who is now easily led around by All For One, Skeptic, and their enablers 
You get all that you deserve in this arc: actually confronting bigotry and how, to protect civil rights, sometimes people do break laws. (Not “stampeding an entire medical ward” break laws or “kill a bunch of people” break laws--good God, no, Spinner’s actions are not fucking justifiable in this arc.)
And you aren’t having All For One already subsuming Shigaraki--you save that for later and have Spinner actually convinced that he is here to protect his friend (seriously, how do you see what All For One is doing to Shigaraki and think, “Sure, I trust this guy to give me Quirks”?).
And you let Spinner actually show he has what it takes to be a leader, if someone just gave him a chance--before you take that all away from him and make it tragic. 
(And yes, my plot points are ripping off the Colonel Jupiter arc from Spectacular Spider-man.) 
Back to your question: you point out how it was already mentioned that anti-heteromorph bigots were a dying breed. I hope my responses point out how that rhetoric doesn’t quite hold up. It depends on what we mean. The PLF person shouting that argument can point to Shoji’s experience as one example: it was confined to the rural areas. And Shoji pretty much said the same thing. But what about Koda? We saw how his parents were treated--were they also in a rural environment when that happened? And while out-and-out bigotry may not be obvious, I hope my remarks about our real lives for many of us in the United States show that out-and-out bigotry doesn’t mean systematic bigotry (lack of resources, moving people out of neighborhoods because you don’t want them there, disablist civil engineering) and more covert forms of bigotry don’t still persist. The Klan and Neo-Nazis have disappeared and reappeared numerous times--because bigotry persisted, just not always in obvious ways (and now are out in the open again and now going by the name “the Republican Party”). 
You point out that it makes sense about bigotry being more persistent in the rural areas: I agree. I may have pointed out how the Confederate flag is flown far outside of the Confederacy, even up in the North, but it makes sense, whether because it’s actually happening or it’s believable, that when you have rural areas, where it is typically harder to get access to infrastructure (not just schools and Internet but also basic means), you lack education and you foster fear and anger that leads to scapegoating, superstition, paranoia, and then bigotry. 
I wish I could say that attacking a kid like Shoji and trying to kill him seems like a bit too much--but we know how many young people have been the victims of violence, due to someone seeing their appearance and thinking, regardless how young they are, that that person is a threat. (For all my talk earlier about how “appearances are not the start or end of bigotry,” yeah, I also can’t ignore how many evil dumb motherfuckers have seen a Black child, thought that Black child was a threat, and were using appearances to confirm their biases to justify violence upon a freaking child.) 
So, again, I’m here in the United States, reading a comic by a Japanese creator and set in Japan--but it is also a far distant future of Japan, and it is not as if Japan, like the United States, has not committed atrocities against marginalized people on the basis of their appearance, culture, race, and religion, whether by war or by systematic oppression. And Horikoshi knows this: there is a reason he changed the name of All For One’s doctor. 
But what I don’t know is what Horikoshi is thinking with Shoji, and whether there is a historical analogue to this, too. Like I said a moment ago, given the history of anti-Black racism, where indeed Black children and teens were lynched, I can find that horrifically believable. And given Rock Lock’s presence in this arc, that choice of including that character in this fight seems to be to emphasize that there is a racialized reading. (And, as a white person, I don’t know how to write Rock Lock’s presence here: I see arguments positing that maybe you have Rock Lock admit he understands this kind of bigotry--but that risks making the comparison too one-to-one, as well as having one of the few Black characters in your story taking on this task. And I’ve read arguments theorizing, “Maybe racism has ended by this point in MHA,” which--nah, if these fuckers are hating on heteromorphs, I’m not optimistic that human progress has moved beyond racism.) I just don’t know where Horikoshi is going with it, and while I see a common link there, reading far more into it risks doing a disservice to interpreting MHA and a disservice to discussing real-world tragedies and injustices and a disservice to the lives of actual people.
