well YOUR driver is just as bad as the rest sayin whats happening at red bull doesn't concern him

bet you feel like an idiot for calling out daniel now

Um... I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you do not speak French and got duped by that tweet’s sensationalist headline. As it happens, I do - so let me help you out:

Interviewer: "There is another element that could play in your favour, which is the mood at Red Bull is deteriorating whether we want it or not. With everything that happened, [in Ferrari] you are more relaxed. At some point of the season, this can play a part?" Charles: "Yes, but it's not... I just want to win fair and square on the track and to reach that goal, we have to focus on ourselves and try to understand what are the things to improve on the car. On this, we are fully focused on what we need to do, on our weaknesses and the weaknesses of the car. But as I've already said in Bahrain, we are very clear on what we need to improve on the car, and we are in a positive spiral with the team these days. Since the second part of last season, we really identified where we need to work and we saw immediate improvements and we need to do the same now." 🎥: RTBF Sport

First of all, the question itself is pretty distasteful. Sexual harassment allegations and workplace safety for women shouldn't be parsed down to "hey, do you think you can take advantage of this to drive faster than Red Bull?!" What a terrible, insensitive way to frame this whole situation.

As for Charles' answer, I'm not going to say it's the best answer in the world. Could he have used the opportunity to acknowledge the greater problem of sexual harassment and the safety of women working in F1? Absolutely, he could have done better. But he answered the question that he was asked, which was does he think the controversy surrounding Red Bull can be used to his advantage. He essentially said "no, I'd rather beat them fair and square by being the best team." At no point did he actually say "that stuff doesn't concern me." Nor did he call it "a lot of noise and distractions" and wish for all of this to "slowly go away" and praise Red Bull for how they are handling it.

#charles leclerc #f1 #* #interview #saudi arabian gp 2024 #the twitter headline is very misleading fyi #not saying his answer was perfect or anything but that's not what charles said #also wtf is this stance... even IF charles said something awful - how does that equate to 'daniel ricciardo shouldn't be called out'? #if that WERE the case - then that just means they should BOTH be called out #anon #elle.ask #translation is mine - i take responsibility for any errors

this just feels like a pretty horrible systemic issue that any so called empathetic protagonist worth her salts would address and fight against but similar to how racism against nympths is never criticized in any meaningful way, she doesnt care and actually uses it to benefit her.

this doesnt make me like persephone. it makes me hate her and everybody else in this fucking story

#og post #liveposting #and its inconsistent #because this would be one thing if the gods were untouchable beings in this comic #and did things mortals couldnt even begin to understand like in the original myths #but this comic doesnt do that. it takes out all the incest #it treats assault like this horrible fucked up thing #both of these are good stances to have but when shown next to the fact that theyre apparently allowed to kill people whenever they like #it feels like rachel didnt actually want to do anything interesting and is fighting against mythology at every turn #the gods are just some guys except for when it benefits rachels quest to show perse and hades as beacons of perfect goodness

honestly it's amazing how sabo is like. everything I've ever wanted out of a character.

revolutionary/freedom fighter trope but is NOT demonized by the narrative for his radical beliefs/actions that are necessary to further his goal of peace because of the nature of the world he exists in. his past dosnt just exist as a half-assed attempt at adding 'nuance' (pity) to his character but directly shows where his ideals and beliefs come from and shape him as a person and it's never something that's ridiculed or downplayed. being a revolutionary is rightfully framed as the sacrifice it is for the greater good and doesnt defult-ly exist in a binary of 'good' or 'bad', but rather shows the difficult but necessary path of societal reform.

#can you tell I'm sick of centrism in media? #sabo is my reward for surviving jet and hama from at//la. scar from fma. sasuke from naruto. Adam and Sienna from rvvby. etcetc #it's so common for revolutionarys to be demonized and framed as 'just as bad' as their oppressors for being reactionary and it makes me #wanna rip my hair out! #and I will call it what it is. conscious or not. copaganda! #one piece isn't a perfect piece of media but I can appreciate how oda is willing to be alot more willing to take stances and explore #complex political and world building ideas #and is majoritively anti authoritarian #sabo ily sm thank you for existing #as much as I love Luffy and look up to him I think my personal ideals line up alot more with him too #psii.txt #text #revolutionary sabo

Still working on this one, Newt is weirdly skinnier than everyone else and his wing is not connecting to his body right but I need a break for now

#toto being chubbier than everyone else is hilarious and perfect #and I’m debating redoing Mia n zeeb make them fluffier or change their stance #since they’re currently just the old design #but I am #undecided #not bird #art

Ive been brewing a theory that people are obsessed with demanding media show them morally good things because we're replacing religion with tv shows and pop culture in general in our everyday life. From one story, one form of escapism that dictates our life and community seeking to another, humanity has always been the same. Or rather, there will always be forms of control to keep us occupied and distracted (at the same time it wouldn't be so effective if we weren't intrinsically wired to seek a distraction from reality, so i can't even blame people who "fall" for it. I think it's a natural instinct that helps people build a lens to approach reality through, to stay sane in a meaningless irrational world.)

#as always you know my stance that fiction does influence us remains. to think otherwise is denial #but i think it's better to engage with media that isnt 'perfect' while knowing its flaws than to pretend it didnt exist #and liking a character that does bad things doesnt make you an accessory in crime or smth #but to say oh no dont read x thing it features something bad...sure if youre only approaching things with the intent of blind worship #a bit off topic but im thinking of the people who would claim for anyone to hear they can reality shift to fictional worlds #literally whats the difference between that and dreaming messages from god or angels #i think youre all delusional but i recognize it as a powerful coping mechanism

you guys i have so many thoughts about tdr. i have so much to say. like i don't want to be super mean but dude that comic fucking sucks and i can't lie i think it made me kind of homophobic actually

#my stance up to now has been that i don't really care about tim/ber but now that i have read this. dude... #it sucks that they gave a canon queer tim narrative to someone who uses homophobia as shock value and virtue signaling points #and who actively tears down characters who don't like her special little uwu flawless oc (kate im so fucking sorry) #there's no substance to this relationship i don't see why they even like each other #bc she keeps just stating oh they're perfect they make each other so happy but she doesn't like. show that at all #and i HATE the shock value homophobia like i cannot overstate how much i hate it #oh these random cops are homophobic (that's how you know they're BAD!) #oh bernard's parents are homophobic (that's how you know THEY'RE bad too!) #it's so hamfisted and it reads like such. cheap storytelling #especially bc tim as narrator doesn't even get to have ANY thoughts on his own queerness or seeing this homophobia in the world around him #and then she can't go more than two pages without being like BTW BERNARD IS THE BEST EVER AND TIM CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM #while against this ugly backdrop of shock value homophobia #there's no substance to this relationship. why do they even like each other. it just falls apart if you examine it at all #because she just is fundamentally incapable of writing either of them as people with character flaws #for fucks sake she can't even be consistent with tim's BASIC character tenets. ''i always dreamed of being batman'' false lmao #but then to follow it up with ''i never wanted to be batman i always wanted to be my dad'' #and then on TOP OF THAT to make the Only mention of Jack drake and his impact on tim's life ABOUT BERNARD AGAIN. #yeah sorry im a hater now. this was shit tier #rimi talks

need gillariel breakup like a fish needs water not just for my sake fabian's sake and the sake of the world as a whole but for THEIR sakes too. not only is hallariel far too good-looking for gilear but also. i want to like gilear. he's my brother in yogurt. i want to chuckle at his pathetic loser antics. appreciate his GoodFather moments. but that's real hard to do knowing he looked at a woman who threatens to kill her son on the regular #AndMeansIt! and was like yeah i'll propose. yes she's hot but so is every other mother brennan lee mulligan's ever cooked up. grow a backbone you wet paper towel

#and if there's anyone who thinks gilear is hot and wants to take the “Errrm hallariel isnt too attractive for him actually” stance #then commit to defending your boyfriend from one of the worst households in elmville NAY spyre #hallariel & bill are as always to me that reddit aita response that's like “ESH you're both awful and perfect for each other. #never involve anyone else in what you have going on.“ #leave your son out of it leave cathilda out of it leave gilear out of it SHALL I GO ON #i would say Sorry it's a seacaster hating day today. but brother that's every day for me #scal txt

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun

#i hate that this stance is also seen as childish #like i have a full time job & often have mandatory overtime i have income already #if u need to to make ends meet then thats different do what u can to help urself live as comfortably as possible #but holy fuck pleasure as an adult is not limited to sex & money & watching tv #besides u know not a single one of the people who say this are willing to actually pay what the arts worth #its like 'well not me but other people would love it!' yeah okay u know a lot of other people are going to see the #over $100 price tag and go 'i like it but not that much! other people however' like just shut up. honestly. be quiet. #if i speed ran my art and low balled myself to a $15/hour rate the lowest would still be like $120 #which is not worth it AT ALL bc i just paid MORE to sit on my ass & look at eggs #and. again. is underselling myself for both experience & time. but people think $80 full body comms are too expensive #do u think im so stupid to not expect to get scammed when even 'easy' things are over $100 #but no ur right why would i have fun with something when i could instead cause myself infinite stress over it perfect thanks #do not give me advice about doing comms i do not want to do comms #if u see me doing comms im in a very dire situation. like thats a last resort for me.

Images of edgy wolves and skeletons with fire and lightning are intended to be made by AMATEURS IN PHOTOSHOP and PEOPLE WHO MAKE AIRBRUSH ART ON VANS AND NICHE CALENDARS, not AI!!!!

Whenever i see them made by ai slop it's like seeing one of those really terribly bred 'designer' pitbulls. Who did this to you, this is cruel. This is painful. You weren't made for this.

#jay talkin #not to mention they look too corporate and polished and lose all of their energy #bc ai is only capable of shitting out the most aesthetically middling shit bc its made by tech bros n corpos #who feed it whatever is the most popular or highest selling to try n make it make art like that #THERES SMTH ABT THE DOGSHIT WAY AI TRIES TO BE A PERFECT MOST COMMERCIAL IMAGE W WHAT IT MAKES #THAT MAKES IT LOOK EVEN WORSE. i hate it #anyway ai edgy wolves and fire skeletons are awful. i want that real shit only #even w/o my stance against it due to it Just Being Art Theft i also hate ai bc #it looks disgustingly smooth and featureless and boring all the time #milque toast awful images that do and say nothing at all. fucking horrendous #i miss when ai was for making incomprehensible masses of eyes and bad horses. at least then it was interesting

remember back in 2021 there were posts going around on here about that headline that was like ridley scott is upset that theres been no coverage about his new movie the last duel. and the gist of these posts was that people were like lol no one cares about it bc the plot centers on a woman being raped. you suck cry harder ridley. but like... did anyone even actually know what that movie was about? that it was basically a medieval court drama where a woman is forced to recount this horrible thing that happened to her in a very public way, and the two dumbass men involved making it about themselves bc to them it is a matter of stolen property and ego rather than this woman’s personhood being completely violated on multiple levels. and how its essentially a commentary on how rape cases are handled and the attitudes towards women bringing forth these accusations have not changed very much in the modern age. that was a pretty decent movie actually and handled pretty tactfully imo as far as these things are usually depicted in film

#like. ridley scott was taking a VERY clear stance with that movie. #and we can talk about how things like that should be handled. what to show when and how. and im not saying its perfect or #wouldnt be considered exploitative to some degree. but that people just heard that thats what is was about and were like. oh must be bad #another case of no media comprehension on this site and just knee jerk reactions to things #anyway i was just thinking abt it. i havent seen it since it came out maybe i should rewatch it

If Julian Fellowes really intends to make us go through a GeorgeBertha divorce a la the Vanderbilts, can we at least have Alva's 1884 pregnancy first? I mean I am not usually a huge fan of pregnancy storylines but the least they could do is to give us something sweet to tide us over

(I mean I'm definitely not convinced it will happen, but just saying)

#this post is brought to you by excessive exhaustion and brain fog #but I'm only half-joking here #the timing would be perfect #you don't even have to spend too much time about it #just have bertha be pregnant in the gap between seasons and then give us some cutesy scenes in the beginning of s3 #like he can make the Russells separate but he can't make Bertha pregnant? please #my current stance is that there might be some conflict over Gladys' marriage but not a separation #but I'm honestly worried because of how many storylines are turning out to be inspired by real life events.. maud beaton #the closing of the black schools #gladys + the duke etc. #please fellows let the russells be the exclusion to the rule #I feel so embarrassed posting this lmfao
