You know what I'm just going to say it, don’t follow my blog if you’ve dogshit gatekeeping opinions like this lol

#I’m not going to address the blatant biphobia bc there other people better equipped to talk about it #but is it too much to expect people not to take things TOO literally? #I know it’s a meme and all but if you’re going to talk shit at least acknowledge that the word the game uses is beneath not bottom #also are we just going to conveniently ignore everything regarding Hope just because it doesn't fit your narrative...? #I'm having a good experience with the Raphael fandom so I don’t have much to complain on that front #but I want to make my stance crystal clear #dodo speaks

You refuse to give Noah the power yet he's the one who brings life to Will Byers You are a two faced hypocrite and I hope you die you antisemite and homopobe

yeah i bet you love seeing people die

#i didn’t know liking will byers contractually obligated me to lick noah’s boots #if you think me calling for the safety of palestinian people is in any way an antisemitic stance get out of my fucking page #or if you think you’re in the right why don’t you get off anon and say this to my face

I will be honest I am pausing my studyblr posts to post for palestine. My brother has left this world recently (unrelated to the conflict) and when I try to distract myself from it I find myself in a world where almost everyone with any power is supporting the genocide of my fellow people.

#I understand people may have their thoughts on this #but even if you don’t agree with me #I still invite you to stay and think #and research #and question your sources #the victims are not organized #but you know what is organized? governments. you can only push propaganda if you have power and are organized #none of which the Palestinians have. #so please. please do some research and be firm in your stance whatever it is #don’t just take the stances of others to make yourself feel like a good person #when you don’t even know what it all entails #and just to clarify because we live in an era of nation states #I am not from palestine but they are my people I grew up with a community of palestinians #and as a muslim they are my brothers and sisters #tho if you do the research you’ll find that isra*l also targets palestinian christians #about half of Christian Palestinians were kicked out of Jerusalem by Isr*el

I think fans want Jason to be a good person or be becoming one. To have a character that is well meaning and compassionate but decided murder is ok and to stand against main heroes who’s beliefs and actions go against the people he cares about and wants in his life. It’s confusing for people. People want their fav characters to be happy. But Jason can’t have his family’s support and follow his moral code. He’s cares about people and Gotham, and he’s an asshole who kills. It’s messy. It’s not black and white. I don’t even think Jason cares about being a good person or in the right anymore. I think he cares about what will save the most people instead.

Oh my goodness gracious I’ve been bamboozled

Batman’s definition of Good is not synonymous with absolute good/right no matter how much dc insists it is. Torture, battery/assault, surveillance, those are all condemnable actions too. I won’t get into the exhausting and frankly dumb debate of comic book morality wrt killing because I’ve already reblogged plenty of posts from other people who explained my thoughts on the matter far better than I ever have the patience to sit down and articulate. I also just think the notion that there’s something to be done about fictional characters who kill nazis and senseless murderers is stupid. Jason’s point is that the “main” heroes’ sanitized definition of right has its unaddressed holes and flaws which ultimately result in more preventable fatalities, and that he’ll work to correct those missing spots.

He doesn’t not care about doing what’s right. What he doesn’t care about (at least during his Winick characterization) is whether Batman thinks he’s right or wrong, because he sees the flaws in Batman’s methodology (and since he has a mind of his own). Batman’s methods alone cannot address Arkham’s revolving door and the rogues that come and go through those doors who have no intention (or capability from the doylist pov) of ever changing or undergoing redemption. Jason knows that he’s minimizing the number of preventable deaths by killing his targets, typically Characters Who Simply Do Fucked Up Shit Just Because, Why The Fuck Not?

Secondly, Jason is compassionate … to a fault. That was his fatal flaw. If he wasn’t so hell-bent on saving his potential birth mother he just met from that bomb despite everything she did to him prior, he could have protected himself instead, however slim his odds of survival were. What about his relationship with his other parents? He was a caregiver during his early childhood years for Catherine, until her death. Even mature adults who are financially stable find being a caregiver to a dying parent to be extremely burdensome on their bodies and minds, but he never complained about it or resented Catherine for being unable to care for him. Despite how none of his parents have really been what he needed them to be, he doesn’t blame them for their failings, and even continues to think highly of them (Bruce included).

And post-death? Enter Lost Days. Despite being dead set on plotting his revenge on Bruce, he constantly sidelines this in order to save other victims who are helpless like he once was. His own anger, trauma, and mission don’t remain his priority. (Sound familiar? Something something my own trauma above my son’s, mission above all else, etc.). Why would he waste precious time and risk his own life to do this if he wasn’t empathetic towards these victims or didn’t care about doing the right thing. He is simultaneously horribly traumatized and full of rage, and also incapable of ignoring what’s happening to victims around him (even as he claims that it’s indeed not his priority). And in that same vein, the entire premise of his rebirth outlaws run was that he doesn’t care if the public views him as a villain, an outlaw, so long as he can protect Gotham. And anyway where is this portrayal of him not caring about being in the right anymore. Almost every modern Jason story is about him grappling with where he stands with Bruce/Batman. During the early 2000s was probably the last time he did not care (hello, tentatodd??).

Jason has very evidently been portrayed as a kind and compassionate character. He is also simultaneously a calculated killer who doesn’t hesitate to kill when he deems necessary, and does so without remorse. It’s called being a Complex Character With An Edge™ that as you said, people so often claim to love. However when he fulfills that latter part, that seems to upset people because “killing bad”, and they then try to shave off and round out all his edges and claim he shouldn’t be that angry. In that case I guess you should just stick to liking traditional one-dimensional characters instead of claiming to like Jason but then encouraging his character assassination attempt by dc. Lol.

Lastly, who said anything about the batfam making Jason happy? Just because he’s written nowadays to want acceptance from Bruce (a shoddy attempt at forcing a non-existent nuclear batfamily), doesn’t mean that it’s a sound decision or that it does his character justice. I certainly don’t empathize with the idea that Jason needs the family’s approval or acceptance to be happy. (And anyway he has enough outlets for angst and pain aside from the batfam hello explore his other sources of trauma and do more deep dives into how he thinks when he’s alone). I don’t want them to magically make up and become one big happy family. This is not disney Lol. Besides, there are plenty of stories from dc that have that type of “wholesome” (hate that word utilization) characterization for Jason (Li’l Gotham, Tiny Titans, wfa, and even new stuff like the brave and the bold mini) and that is sufficient imo. Jason fans who are invested in the character deserve accurate, nuanced characterization and well-written stories, whether they be from his robin days (e.g., Batman: The Cult) or as red hood.

#fellas. ya know what else is wholesome? avenging your own death #you can have moments of ‘reconciliation’ or peace but still maintain a strained relationship which is far more realistic #‘he’s an asshole that kills’ and Bruce is an asshole who doesn’t kill. lol. #you can’t claim Jason’s conflicted and disturbed but go on to say Bruce is perfectly sane those two are mutually exclusive #also please realize that a character acting out of anger does not mean they lack compassion. #implying that he doesn’t care about doing the right thing is saying the same thing that person said; #that he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing. that he hasn’t thought through his moral stance. #‘Jason didn’t put any thought into anything he did in utrh he’s just a poor mentally ill lost soul who needs the batfam’s love to heal 💔’ #🤝 #‘jokers just a poor victim of society 😔 he just needs someone to understand him and maybe one day he’ll heal and realize he’s wrong’ #what they both have in common is that they’re misunderstood in opposite directions #the joker doesn’t have a point to prove. there’s no deeper meaning behind what he does. everything is a joke to him. #he isn’t unaware of right vs wrong lmfao #jason todd #dc #asks #my post #and I think you’re implying that he’s utilitarian based on that last part but I don’t think he is #user mintacle posted a few metas regarding that and again they explain it much better than I prob could #anyway it isn’t difficult to understand his character if you know why you like him and you actually read his stories #that post specifically was from someone who clearly said they did not read the comic so. technically they’re on their own wavelength #edit: grammar

not to tempt fate or anything but one thing i’m glad to not have to deal with as much in the post s2 ofmd fandom environment is people arguing that the crew is lazy and useless and izzy is the only one keeping things together

anyway it’s so weird how in s2 once the gang was all back together again everything ran smoothly and they didn’t make a big deal out of all the work everyone needed to be doing constantly and we actually mostly just saw them hanging out and chilling the whole time. the only time the show made any sort of commentary about work it was in episode one when we learn ed has been working his crew to the bone doing back-to-back raids with no stop. it’s almost like in s1 izzy was characterized as being all work and no play as part of the writers’ goal of making him an unpleasant antagonist and not because this show actually cares about telling a story about how hard work is an important part of being a pirate.

#for the record i actually really like working hard and being on my feet all day at a full time job #the show’s stance on like. having a work ethic and responsibility is not one that i think is 100% applicable irl #but i don’t have to agree with every single thing this show says. i just like to be aware of what it is that the show is trying to say #ofmd #our flag means death #txt #meta #mine #crew of the revenge #izzy hands #if this post is in the izcourse tag no it isnt u just dont know how to use tumblr #og

what’s so funny is this spirituality drama was started by a person that basically posted “i don’t understand why some radical feminists don’t believe in witchcraft or don’t even show an interest in it” on the website of literalist blunt skeptical women who read the words “i don’t understand” and go “ok let me explain.” and then upon receiving a bunch of answers explaining exactly why many of us are critical of spirituality, was like “wow they’re attacking my beliefs, they don’t get what spirituality means to ME” when yall are the ones saying you literally think it is sad and closed-minded for us to not entertain spirituality in our OWN feminism and personal belief systems, and making all of these masturbatory posts about how uniquely enlightened you are because of your spirituality. and then you go on wondering why so many of us hate “woo woo” shit

#really should never have said “i don’t understand” which implies opening a dialogue #should’ve instead said “i believe that radfems who won’t entertain spirituality are closed-minded” #if that’s already your stance #and it’s like okay you think i’m close minded for my atheism #you and literally every christian i’ve met #‘why won’t you entertain belief in god? can’t you admit that you at least don’t know?’ #okay but then you ALSO don’t know and yet you choose to believe…. #i’m sorry that i’m incapable of manifesting even an ounce of genuine feeling or questioning about the existence of a spiritual realm #you can go on thinking it’s sad but i will also go on thinking it’s sad (and stupid) that you feel you NEED spirituality #to experience wonder or connection with nature or to think deeply about our purpose in this world

“so sad being a harry potter fan/jkr stan and a transphobe pick a struggle” ok but how’s it a struggle? ?? because weird losers i don’t know will try to bully me on the internet ??? y’all are just smug because you were nobody in high school and now you feel like you win at life because you have internet clout from tweens and perverted adult men plus the duds who jumped on the bandwagon because they have zero values and beliefs of their own …. like stop projecting i promise no one gives a fuck that you’re “different” it’s still annoying and your green shaved head and mushroom tattoo aren’t punk or even really that cool at all….get a grip fr …anyways i’m gonna struggle by A) being objectively right and B) enjoying my childish stories that have no shortage of material (and more on the way!) to keep me entertained

#feminism #jk rowling #harry potter #this applies to everyone #males and females #gay or not #trans identified or not #like so much if this movement is deadass made up of people who were unpopular in high school. and now they get off on being internet famous #and i was a huge loser in high school too so this isn’t some stance on social hierarchy #it’s just the kids who never got over not being cool when it actually meant something #so they’re trying to make it mean something now #and the saddest thing is that you’re still losers #and the biggest tell is that followers will always remain neutral #favouring the side of the cool people #hence the male he amount of silent so called allies #they’re gonna switch sides when this one goes under i’m afraid #anyways like it’s always the people who want attention who are the worst about this stuff #like i’m a huge harry potter fan. i was not popular in high school. people barely knew who i was #that is not something that was cool in the 2010s #but i’m still a fan and i’m not ashamed of that because i’m not just gonna flop on my interests and principles #and i’m not gonna let some weirdo who probably does actual weird shit make me feel bad about like one of the most beloved book franchises #of all time #when they were prob the types of weirdos having orgies under the stairs and grooming eachother and speaking japanese they learned from anime #anyways. i don’t know im just rambling im mad and tired and all seething and i want to bully someone about it

[steamcaptain]

you sound like my ex friends. If you can’t handle your friends constant venting then you are a horrible friend and if they kill themselves their blood is on your hands I hope you can live with that guilt. Let friends vent to you don’t be selfish.

Nobody owes you endless hours of therapy time just because you get along well. As I said before, friends can absolutely care about and support each other by being there to vent to each other, but “constant venting” is unhealthy and damaging. It takes a toll on the other person, especially if they are in a bad place themselves and may not have much capacity for additional negative things. It could be triggering, and that’s not fair to the person listening. Also, venting everything to everyone is dangerous, as someone could use sensitive information against you.

Having boundaries is not selfish. The healthiest thing to do is to ask your friends if they have the capacity for you to vent to them at that moment. If they say yes, that’s great. Go ahead. If they say no, or if later they need to stop, then you need to respect their boundaries. And, of course, your friends should extend the same respect to you. You will lose friends if you continue to overstep lines and overwhelm them with constant negativity, especially if they feel like you’ve trapped them and they can’t ask you to stop. It’s about consent.

If someone is suicidal, and they are in immediate danger, then they are in need of professional help. Friends with limited knowledge in mental health and crisis prevention can only do so much. And if they happen to be suicidal themselves, it could be triggering enough that we might end up with an additional preventable death. Even if they are not, suicide is a very serious and very heavy topic and it needs to be handled by those who are trained for it.

What happens if the untrained friend is unsuccessful in trying to help the other stay alive? Is their blood still on their hands? That is an incredible amount of responsibility that one should reserve for those who can handle it properly. Referring your friend to a professional can save their life.

• If perhaps you mean venting about this in addition to professional help (meaning once they are out of immediate danger), if your friend has the capacity for you to vent about this to, then again, that’s great. Go ahead.

-One time a friend was talking about their suicidal thoughts during a time when I was also suicidal. I tried so hard not to stop them, but it was so triggering I nearly had a panic attack and a meltdown. How exactly was I supposed to help them in that state?

-One time someone who was an acquaintance at best tried dumping some vents on me because they thought I had the same mental health diagnosis they did (I didn’t). I was in an extremely dark place and told them I was sorry and I couldn’t handle it, and they blocked me. We’d barely spoken.

Supporting the idea that people (neurodivergent or not) have the right to spread constant, potentially-triggering negativity to their friends just because they think they owe them is toxic behavior, and I suggest everyone backing this speak to a therapist about it. Especially if you’re threatening your friends with suicide.

#tw suicide #it took ten years but I finally got my first anon hate #seriously though kid you need help #and some manners #please be kind to yourself and get help from someone who is trained in this #and I wish you the best of luck #I don’t know if I will change your mind about this stance but I hope this helps someone #ask #anon #for anyone wondering what the context is check the post below this

people here watch sapnap’s kick streams btw

Mmm I see, I actually had no idea tbh.

Gunna mention this here while on the topic. I do not, and will not, ever support Sapnap streaming on kick. I will never watch any of those streams (unless uploaded to YouTube after) nor step foot on that app.

I’ve basically keep this mentality since he joined and despite Sapnaps “efforts” to change the community there, I simply don’t believe it. I believe he might’ve had good intentions, but undoubtedly it was probably mainly decided bc of money. Which fair. I just wish he was forward about that instead of this “promise” he said after twt called him out for this undoubtedly stupid deal. That place just isn’t welcoming or safe for his demographic.

Anyways that’s it. I still love Sapnap and watch his daily twitch streams. I genuinely rarely talk about “drama” or really anything on here so I guess I might as well 🤷 I talk more on my twt

#I don’t think I’ll talk abt drama here much #so no worries abt that #just art #but ofc I want ppl to know my stance
