I gotta say some of these asks pointing out sources that are pedo bait are really reaching…

Sexualization of a minor? Yes this is pedo bait

A kid wearing an outfit that real kids wear all the time? No. Not even slightly. People that can look at this and immediately think pedo are saying more about their own preferences than they are about the media

Im a girl and wearing a tank top or tube top as a kid during the summer months where the temperatures regularly reach 100F is completely normal. I swear some people think a child EXISTING is problematic and these people are the ones that concern me the most because they can’t even look at a child without sexualizing them…

I don’t know enough about the specific series to say whether or not its problematic but outfits like that are a pretty low bar to set

well I think the issue is that there's a difference between a real child dressing for the weather by themselves/being dressed by a trusted adult and characters who are children constantly being drawn by adults in these outfits no matter what, especially in a style/poses that exaggerates them sexually. I really can't talk about kemono jihen but as an avid idol fan it's seen constantly in idol media. the issue is that a bunch of grown adults are specifically choosing to draw children in these outfits and situations. I don't think it's reflective on people when they point this out about characters that are clearly being drawn in comprimised poses or outfits. Sometimes people can read things the wrong way, but i find that a lot of the time it tends to be justified.

it's kind of hard to defend when basically every idol media has cards like this (the link is enstars Tori Himemiya in his pool outfits which are really gross). Of course a normal boy messing around in a pool with swim trunks on is normal, but this is obviously fishing for sh0tac0n money and it's particuarly nasty. yes these characters aren't real, but that only furthers the point that there are adults out there purposefully creating these child characters and putting them in situations meant to be seen as sexual.

"Oh har har Gotham is terrible to Joker and that's why he acts the way he does," Gotham worships a hot topic furry with the mental stability of a soggy cracker and thinks a 10 year old vigilante is perfectly normal

#like im.sorry but what the fuck possesses dc writers to depict joker as a biproduct of an intolerant community #that he constantly harms and abuses and generally worsens by just standing there #am i supposed to feel sorry for that bitch? i dont #me personally i think it'd be hilarious if they refused to indulge his pariah complex #collectively they all agree to stop reacting to his antics. oh you're gonna blow up the bank?? haha you prankster #you're gonna kidnap someone and hold them hostage? here let me help you! want me to call batman for you? #hey jokie did you see the game! had a nice weekend? like literally fuck this man lmao #batman #bruce wayne #dc comics #dc #text #text post

i think part of the resistance i’ve seen in response to the view of ed as an abuse victim—not just the view of izzy as someone who abused ed, but of ed as someone who was abused by him, as opposed to interpretations that pursue an image of Nuance and Complexity (unnecessarily, because their dynamic has heaps of both, but there seems to be a popular impulse to conflate complexity with shared culpability) by characterizing their relationship as being toxic/unhealthy in equal reciprocity, or as “mutually abusive” (oxymoron)—i definitely see the influence of racism there, but i think the racism is also working to amplify an adjacent issue where we tend to receive very specific cultural messaging about What An Abuse Victim Looks Like, and ed is excluded from a lot of that criteria.

he’s outspoken. he’s boisterous. he’s Very Cool and he Wears Leather. he’s physically bigger and browner than the person mistreating him. he spends the first season with a big grey beard, he’s covered in tattoos, he projects the image of A Man’s Man, to say nothing of his being a man in the first place. we see him get aggressive and we see him get angry (and sometimes we even see both at the same time). we see moments where he’s surly, prickly, insensitive, arrogant. his survival techniques and trauma responses incur collateral damage to other people, and in the second season this extends into affecting people we actually sympathize with. he’s extremely private about expressing fear. without examination, his professional relationship to izzy seems to position him as the one with the power slanted in his favor.

most damningly, we see him react multiple times to izzy’s abuse with physical violence. this is behavior that gets referenced all the time in the construction of narratives condemning subjects of physical abuse, let alone emotional abuse. which is why writing that intends for its audience to interpret a character as being unambiguously A Victim Of Abuse will often, for simplicity’s sake, avoid showing the character regularly engaging in anything of the kind.

and again, all of these departures from the image of The Model Victim are compounded by his being a man of color.

without any of the shorthand designed to point a big flashing arrow at his mistreatment, all we have left to work with are the words and actions we see from ed and izzy onscreen. who instigates conflict, and how does the other respond? how are they able or allowed to respond? how do we see them speak about each other to outside parties? does one go out of their way to control or isolate the other? what consequences does either party stand to face in saying “no” to the other? in acting against the other’s wishes? in trying to leave the relationship? when either of them attempts these things, how do we see the other respond?

i realize and appreciate what people are driving at when they garnish their analysis with disclaimers that they’re not saying ed’s just a poor innocent abuse victim, they’re not saying he’s a perfect angel who’s never done anything wrong, and that’s true, but these are points already contained implicitly in statements like “this show’s protagonists act like human people” and “ed’s emotional struggles are portrayed in a realistic and believable way.” my assumption is that these disclaimers are anticipatory responses to worst-faith interpretations of any discussion that attributes any victim status to ed whatsoever, so i definitely sympathize with their inclusion, but a (very small) part of me still worries about them potentially reflecting or reinforcing a belief that there is any way for someone to behave towards their abuser that imparts a responsibility for them to make right whatever damage the abuser receives, or for that matter any degree of ambiguity over their status as an abuse victim in the first place.

part of what i find so gratifying about ed as a character is that i don’t feel like the show’s writing is pressuring me to consider that ambiguity at all. which was a really nice thing for me to discover!

and tbh—did using ed to deconstruct The Model Victim even factor into the writers’ agenda?? ive got no clue. im guessing no? ??maybe?? probably not?? but if you create a main character whose central premise is that he feels trapped in a performance of exaggerated masculinity that he’s desperate to escape, and then you set him up with a character premised on embodying a tangible obstacle against that escape, then i guess that’s the natural shape your story’s gonna be inclined to take

#man thats a lot of words when i couldve just said ‘im not an ed apologist bc he has nothing to apologize for’ and yalld get the message #had to get it off my chest though #abuse tw #sorry about the verbosity Im Aware. Its An Ongoing Issue #this is actually after i went through and edited to make it as concise as possible #the good news is ive finally managed to limit myself to a mere half dozen commas per sentence #the bad news is all these words are mush in my brain now and i can barely tell if theyre actually saying anything #are any of these paragraphs related to one another? i dont fuckin know #i do know i agreed with them when i wrote them though #am i procrastinating in the tags because im nervous about posting this? maybe. shut up #im gonna go do todays wordle

I know hunger games is good, I just can't put myself through a sad dark dystopian world where things are sad and dark and suck and everyone hates each other and everyone dies.

Like I could watch the news...

#the hunger games #thg #its why ive avoided the books too #like im sure katniss is a grim faced survivor who also happens to be super hot and sexy #but i dont know man #i know government is bad #you are correct #i agree with you already bestie #dont see what else i can learn from hunger games other than heres how we should revolt but wont bc people will only see thg as fiction #with not practical application irl #plus i cant watch two straight people fall in love #sorry #i believe when people say its good #i just dont think itd make me feel anything personally #i already know who dies anyway #its not the sexy love interest #its the non character

bitches be like. i hate vegans so much that i’ve decided i like killing animals and its fine and i dont feel bad and animals dont have feelings and its fine and im cool subversive and different and edgy and like to post fucked up stuff to make vegans uncomfortable bc im just so cool

#you sound like every cishet republican man to me #you're not a Cool Subversive Leftist you're literally regressing by seeing animals as just objects of your pleasure and thats it lmao #im sorry but you dont just get to throw out all of veganism. it does infact have some roots in leftism. #you can sit there and cope with the fact you agree w some vegan talking point by calling it 'animal welfare' all you want #doesnt change the fact that a lot of those ideas in those circles were formed by vegans. #damn woooah vegans arent a monolith and dont all agree on the same shit woooahhh who knew #literally i have no idea how we even got to this point or how this would be surprising. #when i was on vegan twitter bitches were arguing all the fucking time within it. ur really gonna sit ther en tell me they're all secret #eco fash that hates native ppl and people who have to eat meat? ya sure??? #you would think the individuals on tumblr- of all places- would understand how frustrating it would be to be grouped in with the worst #members of their community as if you represent them and are the sole spokesperson #you'd think they'd hate when someone jumps to conclusions about them based on their lifestyle #but naur. i think yall take it too personally. as if a vegan just being in a room is somehow trying to force you to be vegan. #literally grow tf up. #if a vegan being in the same room with you triggers feelings in you that you Have to stop eating meat- i really think thats a you problem #bud. homeboy hasnt even spoke to you leta lone look at you and apparently you feel this weird pressure now #idk man dont you think that pressure might be coming within?? maybe.... you do infact feel things and feel a lil guilty abt eating meat? #not telling you to stop... i still eat meat here n there. but at least im honest with myself about how it makes me feel to do it. #its infact normal to take a second to think about the loss someone made in exploitation to provide you with whatever. #if you can let yourself feel a lil guilt about buying a fast fashion thing you can sure as fuck finally extend your fuckin empathy to #animals and stop treating them like objects or toys.

I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.

#once again i jest but now i have to actually talk about it #like. okay we have no proof of any actual timeline for the dirge flashbacks other than. it was at least 30 years ago #so who knows how long they were at the manor. could have been weeks before The Incident. or months. or maybe a full year! who knows #but to me a timeline of like. they fucked and like a week later vincent found The Evidence and lucercia had her little breakdown #AND THEN EXTREMELY QUICKLY SHE AGREED TO THE EXPERIMENT AND IT COULD GO ONE OF TWO WAYS #1. she knew she was pregnant and thats why she agreed to the experiment cuz there was already a usable subject #and therefore she must have fucked hojo like a week after she fucked vincent AND THATS STUPID FAST FOR THESE EVENTS #or 2. she didnt know. agreed to the experiment. fucked hojo. and therefore thought seph was hojo's and NOT vincent's #AND BY THE WAY. i dont even actually believe hojo fucked either!!! cuz theyre both scientists so why wouldnt they think IVF was the best way #okay. well.... hojo is canonically a fucked up little freak. so. he might have taken the opportunity to... get in there. #also when did ivf even start being a thing? cuz that may play a factor into this if nomura even considered that #well either way lets just unfortunately assume hojo got in there #ITS STILL AN ODDLY FAST TIMELINE #also. fuck man doesnt lucrecia have a later line in dirge where she actually says shes in love with hojo? or something along those lines #IMPLYING ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE SHE HAD THE FALLING OUT WITH VINCENT. YOU WOULDNT FUCK THE GUY AFTER ALL THAT SHIT #AND WHILE CLAIMING TO LOVE/CURRENTLY FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOJO!!!! LIKE CMON MAN!!!! SHE SUCKS BUT SHES NOT THAT KIND OF A MESS #i dont think vincent would fuck her until they sorted out their issues anyway and that CLEARLY didnt happen. #its VITAL that that did not happen!!!! #its just. if vincent and lucrecia fucked. everything would have had to happen EXTREMELY fast within like a 2 week timespan #and im just talking about up to when vincent learns shes partaking in the experiment. it was probably another week or two until vincent died #SO. logically it must have been like #fall in love->learn about the gimoire incident->refuse to speak to vincent->get obsessed with hojo->fall in love(?) #and then thats where i think its ambiguous on did the experiment become an idea before or after seph started to exist? #like chicken or the egg ya know. experiment idea or sephiroth zygote? #that feels fucked up to say. im so fucking sorry to seph to talk about this. yeah sorry i have to debate who fucked your mom bro #god imagine telling him that. like not even as a reveal thing cuz he knows who his father is. just like as a sick joke. your mom joke. #NO OH M Y GOD I HAVE A QUESTION NOW #in accordance to him having a photo of lucrecia in ever crisis. after he reads that jenova is an ancient (incorrect btw) #does he think that picture is still her? what about when he takes jenova's body from the lab???? #oh my god 30 tag limit. FUCK. i need like a rant blog for all this vincent talk now. my brain is going a mile a minute

People really don't seem to get that regardless of whatever feelings they have about Daniel, he's in Dubai because of Louis. Think of him however you like but he said it plainly, "hire a transcriber. I don't do puff portraiture anymore". Louis had the complete option of simply not contacting him, simply letting Daniel die in his own oblivion and irrelevance that even Daniel himself points out.

"Legacy? That's for board members and assholes in loafers". Armand doesn't seem to want Daniel in Dubai either because of what Louis may want Daniel to do (publish a book, risk other vampires to come after him). So for all the questioning and sarcasm Daniel throws at Louis, he's still an old man in his 70s with a developing disability, locked in a penthouse apartment with no way out with two old vampires who are more than capable of tearing him to shreds. That's his choice but it's also Louis' choice to even have him there. If Louis didn't want the sarcasm, the bitterness, the relentless questioning and invalidation of his (blatantly constructed) narrative, he wouldn't have taken to asking Daniel to interview him again. If this was solely about Armand, Louis' life story has absolutely zero to do with whatever went down with Armand and Daniel. Louis has followed Daniel's work, has read his autobiography. He knows Daniel's work even has a motif of unreliable memory that becomes obscured with time (or another vampire's mind-bending ability). Again, Daniel is in Dubai because of Louis. No one is demanding he continue an interview with an old mortal man whom he could just as easily kill with no one questioning anyone else about it afterwards. Daniel is of no importance to even his own family now, yet Louis still wants their interview to continue. Frankly for all of Daniel's dismissive comments, Louis has had every opportunity and chance to kill him already or shut him up, have his mind wiped and send him home. The fact that he doesn't is more glaring than anything else.

#interview with the vampire #louis de pointe du lac #daniel malloy #honestly I feel like the way some people refer to Louis in this fandom makes it sound like Louis isn't and wasn't a grown man in his 30s #when he got turned #'Louis is feminine!' Louis pimped out WOMEN when he was still human #and continued to do so even as a vampire #Louis is an adult man who's made some extremely awful choices and is now obviously trying to face that in some way #that's why Daniel is even here in the first place #like I'm sorry but if Louis didnt want the cold biting comments he should've killed Daniel by this point #and gotten a well-meaning therapist who gets paid 1000 per hour to deal with a vampire...... #the fact that Daniel is even here has nothing to do with the omnipresence of writers and everything to do with Louis wanting him to #do the interview with him again #think of Daniel however you like but the reason he's even here now is because of Louis #Louis WANTS him to listen to his story while deliberately knowing Daniel has a history with him and last time they did this #Louis killed Daniel in anger.......if Louis wanted to finish the job again you wouldn't have Armand interfering when its clear he lets #Louis do whatever he likes despite Armand not agreeing #and before anyone jumps to conclusions I dont think Daniel was right to ask for specifications re: Claudia's rape #but then again I think that entire subplot was handled abysmally and looks just like the white female writer going #'hmm I need to traumatize the black girl in order for her to come back into a codependent relationship with Louis......' #'let's have her raped and then taunted for said rape at least twice over'

Sometimes I get a little sad about not interacting in the Peggy fandom very much but. I just. Physically Cannot go into the Peggy Carter tag. Also avoid the Agent Carter tag. Never given the Captain Carter tag a chance to hurt me.

#i also am picky about following which makes me feel bad!! #but i CANT handle Bad Opinions 😭 #and like. in the tags the problem is people put evil mean hate in them. #but with following people. sometimes its an opinion that's perfectly fine. i just dont share it. and ik i should let them have their fun #(i do let them have their fun i would never say anything mean) but internally i am suffering. skdbsjs #and im like. hm this blog seems to like peggy carter. but what if i follow them and it turns out they actually HATE her #😭😭😭 you know what this is. you know what im describing rn. anxiety. i have anxiety #my worst fear is someone who loves peggy/steggy but its the version they have created in their head #and that version is so wrong. #it looks like we agree but then oh. oh no sorry. idk man #SKDHSKDJ YOU KNOW???? i have anxiety. ❤️ #peggy carter #agent carter #marvel

All of my planning and worrying didn't matter because he went on his own last night at home and it was traumatic as fuck for me and Selene both.

#dont read the tags if you dont want any details #he didnt seem that bad yesterday #he was swollen but he was still up and moving around on his own #he even took all his meds and ate a full bowl of food without any trouble #we called the vet to ask them to call us back to discuss options yesterday around 4 #vet called us back around 7 to discuss new meds to keep him comfortable while we got home euth set up for him #and we agreed ro go in today to pick them up for him and then got off the phone #and like five minutes later Banana suddenly started panting hard #so me and Selene sat on the floor with him trying to figure out what was wrong #and he started having a seizure which we're used to so we were keeping him company waiting for it to pass like normal #only it didnt #he suddenly died in my arms instead while I cried and screamed and tried to get him to start breathing again #selene call d the vet and told them we were bringing him in for an emergency visit and i was just sitting on the floor numb #cuz i knew the vet was too far away to be any help and even if they werent it wouldn't matter #he was already gone #he was gone so fast and I wasnt ready #it was so fucking horrible #im never going to be able to get the way he looked before he collapsed out of my head #my poor old man #that was not how it was supposed to go im so sorry

i feel like i’m absolutely not the person to be giving takes abt palestine but i’ve been trying to learn more abt everything and am now so pissed and sad and fucking livid

free palestine

#gonna find more resources and stuff to reblog #i’ve been so all over the place recently but i’ve been reading a lot abt it in the past couple days so i can actually be fucking informed #and it’s fucking awful and upsetting and difficult to read #just read abt biden STILL fucking supporting israel and like #ugh i already didn’t fucking like the man but i’m so livid abt this #hence feeling like as a usamerican i should say I DONT AGREE WITH THAT BITCH #sending love and hope to palestinians #there’s fuck all else i can do #sorry this isn’t a very articulate take #i’m not really adding anything but i feel like i’ve gotta say SOMETHING #i don’t know man

the framing of the critic character in the menu really pissed me off bc no offense but if i was paying 12k for a meal and you served me a broken emulsification id comment on it too

#man. she was engaging in good faith with the art of the meal the entire time and the movie is just like. lol isn't she sooo pretentious #isnt it so pretentious to engage with high art and try to read into the artistry of it. just eat a cheeseburger #god that movie thematically was so stupid. #avpost #i have watched enough food network to know that not breaking a sauce is like #its not easy but its a basic skill that a professional chef is expected to have. and youre charging thousands for this #within your own metaphor its like you can't get pissy when a critic notices your very rookie mistakes #that frankly you shouldn't be making at a high level of prestigious art. #also for me any art thats like 'look this critic character is so mean they just hurt the poor artists' will literally never play #if one honest negative review shuttered your small business restaurant then maybe you were bad at food. sorry #AND LIKE. ok i know plenty of art has been unfairly panned by critics who didnt really get it #but in my eyes when i see a piece of art complain abt critics it doesnt come across that way #its more like 'im a scam artist and i dont like that critics can call me out for making garbage and passing it off as art' #thats just always how it plays to my eyes and ears yknow #like it feels overly defensive and thin skinned like you just cant handle people not liking your creation. #so yeah. im always gonna like default to 'idk man maybe the critics had a point about you' #im also just in general like. i dont often agree with professional critics but im glad they exist. im pro critique. #which makes me biased lol
