one of my least favourite things about internet discourse nowadays is the "i'm not reading all that" precedent. like if you write paragraphs arguing for or against something, suddenly your point is deemed magically "invalid" merely because of its length. like bro could write the most nuanced take on a topic ever to be written only to be shot down because he dared delve into the depths and complexities of the topic, consequentially making his explanation ✨long✨. like you're literally not even giving bro a chance to explain his viewpoint by doing that, you're just being a little cunt. oh i can call this thing shitty with no explanation and be totally valid in my veiwpoints but bro over here writes four paragraphs on why he likes a thing, he must be reaching fr lol desperate. fucking hate that shit like where's the nuance? it's literally just a scummy shutdown technique at best and advocating for illiteracy at worst.

People I don't like and the reasons why.

- Minors on adult spaces that make themselves unsafe by willingly entering adult spaces and then blaming adults for discussing adult subjects in those spaces.

- Parents of minors that don't monitor the internet experience if their child properly and get mad at the internet and at other adults for creating adult spaces instead of being mad at themselves for not protecting the children they are responsible for properly.

- Radfems. I believe in equality and real feminism. Not in inequality, reverse sexism, transphobia, shaming people that are comfortable with their femininity because "it's bowing to patriarchy", porn haters, slut shaming other women, child haters, man haters and all the things Radical Feminism stands for.

- People that turn everything into a talk about Palestinians. Shaming people for still having a life when you "feel guilty for just having water" isn't helping anyone. I still help the news spread, I still boycott the brands that support Israel, I still give amounts of money I can afford to give to organizations and people that are trying to raise money for Gaza. Just because I don't post about it all the time and victimize myself online doesn't mean I have forgotten or that I don't care. I can still have a life and support Palestine, it doesn't have to be my whole personality.

- Flat earthers. You're just too stupid to understand physics.

- Vegans that force their naturally carnivore pets to also be vegan because "it feels so wrong to love one animal and eat the other". If you don't like your pet to eat meat or meat based products, get an animal that is a leaf-eater like you, don't torture the poor dog.

- Vegans that walk up to you while you eat a burger and try to talk harass you out of it.

- "Seperate the art from the artist" people. You can't! If your favourite artist is a bad person *cough cough* like Kanye West *cough cough*, you can't listen to their music without supporting them, giving them money, and allowed all the bad things they've done to go answered. You either have to stop listening to their music, or admit to yourself that you're selfish enough to help a bad person continue being a bad person for a couple of songs. You can only "seperate the art from the artist" if the artist is dead, because only then you can enjoy the art without giving money to a bad person.

- People that say "it's freedom of speech" when it's not and then proceed to throw slurs around.

- People that are haters of artists and when you ask them why they say "because I don't like their music" + [incert 584370 incorrect facts the media and other haters pulled out if their asses and can easily be debunked if you put the slightest bit of effort]. Like, no. There's literally nothing wrong with that person and "I don't like their music" is a valid reason to not be a fan, but you don't have to be a hater instead, you can just be indifferent if you don't like their music.

- People that wear shoes inside a house they don't clean.

- People that steal your good without asking when they aren't your siblings. My sister gets a free pass, but you don't. If you want a fry, you'll ask for it and I'll just say yes, because it's just a fry, you don't have to be annoying and steal it.

- People that say "ADHD is not real" or "Aren't we all a bit ADHD?". No, we're not. ADHD is perfectly real and it causes issues with productivity and concentration that you could never imagine, don't use it as an excuse for your laziness and then say "don't we all have done ADHD?". There's medication for it, because it is 100% real, so don't disregard it or say it's not real, it's just getting annoying.

- People that make jokes about autism, mental health problems, SA, sexism, ect and all it "dark humor" but get upset when you crack some dark humor jokes about men or the church.

- Neurotypical people that give the most basic, overhead "advice" ever to neurodivergent people and then think they know better when someone neurodivergent says "I actually have already tried this, and it's not really working for me".

- People that don't believe in the seperation of religion and state. The laws are for everyone not just you, and "everyone" includes people with different religious beliefs and therefore the laws should not be based around your religion.

- People that are Anti-choice. If you don't want to have an abortion, don't. That's good for you. Congratulations. I hope your baby is born healthy and grown up to live a long life and be the smartest, healthiest, happiest, prettiest person ever and I hope they achieve all their dreams. But just because you didn't want to have an abortion doesn't mean you get to tell others what to do. You go and focus on raising your wonderful child and leave me the fuck alone.

- Homophobic and Transphobic people. Because I have normal human decency.

- Racist people. Because I have normal human decency.

- Sexist people. Because I have normal human decency.

- People that chew with their mouth open.

- People that are "Lesbian Truthers" when it comes to a female character that isn't canonically a lesbian and has shown attraction to men in the past and headcannon them as lesbian and then call homophobic whoever disagrees. I'm looking at you Lesbian Azula Truthers.

- People that are "Lesbian Truthers" when it comes to AN ACTUAL HUMAL PERSON that has shown attraction to men MULTIPLE TIMES, FOR YEARS AND YEARS and have the fucking nerve to "headcannon" them as lesbians AS IF THEY AREN'T ACTUAL HUMSN BEINGS AND NOT CHARACTERS, and then call you homophobic when you say "hey hadn't this person dated multiple men openly? And I actually remember them saying they don't like you be all up their business and guessing their sexuality." I am looking at you Gaylors (aka Taylor Swift Lesbian Truthers). K!ll yourself Gaylors. Please.

- People that blame the child for being abused.

- People that get big dogs and stuff them into little apartments and don't exercise them properly on a daily basis.

- People that get bird and stuff them into tiny cages all day long for all their lives.

- People that are prejudiced again certain dog breeds when it's proven that there's no bad breed, just but owners.

- People that are haters just to troll.

- People that say "I'm not done talking yet". Honey, if you wanted to give a speech you should have told me so that I wouldn't show up. This is a conversation.

- Teachers that don't like kids. Why tf would you get this job then? And why do you have to torture the kids now?

TV and movies adaptations of books ruin things by taking a canonly awkward-looking crust of a character and giving their role to some unobtainably-beautiful celebrity who's never seen a double chin in their life and I hate it. Nothing can be ugly on screen unless you're the comic relief or the "bad guy" or the background character.

day 12 without my dad, I’ve decided i’m going to write a list of some of the new things i really hate:

I hate riding in the car

I hate those split second moments when i go to show him something or call him or look for him before i remember that he’s gone

I hate seeing my mom so broken

I hate talking about him in the past tense

I hate nighttime

I hate the question “how are you doing?”

I hate Teslas

I hate the passage of time

I hate funeral arrangements

I hate not knowing where he is

I hate how long it takes to get a death certificate

I hate Intensive care units

I hate the guilt i feel when i have happy moments

I hate that lump in your throat tightness in your chest feeling

I hate that he’ll never get to turn 50

I hate that to him i’ll always be 18

I hate that i wasn’t awake when he left that morning

I hate the “5 stages of grief”

I hate the thought of birthdays and holidays without him

I hate how he’s everywhere in every corner of my life but also nowhere

I hate the half drank can of fizzy water on his desk that he’ll never finish

I hate that this happened to him of all people

One thing I hate is when a character gets revealed to have some sort of special heritage or chosen one type thing and people start saying that it automatically invalidates all their prior struggles. Like what? Luffy having a special fruit doesn't make the 12 years he spent training that fruit any easier. Naruto's dad being Minato doesn't suddenly make the childhood of being constantly hated go away. Or a billion other examples of a person struggling day after day and a special trait getting revealed. It doesn't invalidate the story, maybe the story the author is telling is different from what you think.

[despair-tea]

I've never felt like "I have to draw or I'll explode!" I've certainly felt like "I'm so pissed off all I can do right now is draw about it."

Art, or at least the process of making the stuff, doesn't have any positive connections for me. It pisses me off, it makes me cry, it makes me wail and gnash my teeth. But it doesn't make me happy and it's certainly not relaxing. I hate it. The idea of drawing "for fun" is foreign to me. There's nothing fun about it – I pick up the pen and sketch until my wrists and back hurt and I strain my eyes a bunch and none of the lines go where I picture them in my head and it ALWAYS takes longer than expected.

But I also hate not being able to draw the things I want, so.

And no one else is going to draw what I want to draw, so.

It's a pain in the ass and that's alright I guess.

#random musings #things i hate #my post #one day i hope to get good enough at art that i can kick the whole concept's ass down the stairs and leave it in a body bag #i'm not really good at anything #i'm just very bloody-minded about the whole thing #existing that is

22, 58!

22. have you recently made any big decisions?

If u count from like 3 months ago than yes? (Decided to not go back to school)

58. what top 5 things make you the angriest?

1. My bio d*d 🤢 I've never been happier and felt safer now that he's rotting in jail for the rest of his miserable meaningless lonely life.

2. Arab and Muslim homophobes. I literally want to fucking murder them. They should all die a horrible painful slow death <3

3. Exclus. They're just extremely Annoying and I have no patience.

4. radfem/terfs and in general transmisogynistics. They're all just so incredibly fucking creepy and most times extremely racist as well.

5. Star Vs the forces of evil's ending. I've never hated a show's ending as much as I did with this one. They literally had star commit fucking genocide?!?!? Turning it into an annoying teen romcom when that was not the same storyline at all!?!?!?! Not giving the monsters their rightful land back!?!?!?!? Fucking hell they even killed TOFFEE!? The only good thing about the show

[crymeariveronceagain]

Hmm... so you like blonde boys with trauma.. what are some character types you hate?

lovely question with many answers :D

Flawless jerks. Someone who can do no wrong, but is an absolute pain in the rear end to deal with or learns that YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE YOURSELF, NO MATTER WHAT, At the end of the story. I especially hate "strong" women who can do no wrong and never fail.

Drug addicts. Something about them I honestly can't stand. Like, no matter what story, no matter what book. If they're heavily addicted to drugs, I usually will strongly dislike that character.

Diversity Play(personified). This is your token not straight/not white character.(Examples: gay best friend, black neighbor, Hispanic trans cousin, etc. etc.) They exist to win diversity points and I loathe <3 their <3 Every <3 Existence <3 Diversity should naturally occur in your story! Don't shoehorn it in, stars above.

Wimp. A cowardly character who stays cowardly. Who is faced with difficulties and instead of getting up after puking their guts out from anxiety like the REST OF US has a breakdown and cries about it for a couple years. Especially if this character is a guy. Ugh.

Toxic Bad Boy. Not counting, of course, Maven Calore, he's attractive af. But that boy from a rich family who breaks stuff when he gets pissed and yells at his gf like he hates her existence.

Flip-flopper. No definite sense of morality. Has no clue which way is up, could kill one of their best friends and cry about it the next day because their sense of what's right and what's wrong is so hinged on emotion, and not on anything concrete. Real jerkish move, honestly.

Pervert. I don't need to say more on this. If they're disgusting about how they treat other characters, they can die by my blade <3

Old Character that changes in an Illogical Manner throughout the series, and gets an unsatisfactory ending that leaves you screaming about how out of character that was and how it resolved nothing and how you want to have loud words with the author about how they thought desecrating such a good character was a good idea.

I have more, but these are just the main ones I know I detest.

Marie’s top media and writing tropes that need to die in a ditch

Fridging 

The trope of killing off, hurting or “damaging” the female (usually the love interest) character in anyway solely to progress the main male character’s story arc. Used only as a plot device it is made to depose the female character only so to “trigger” the protective qualities in the male character. 

This term was coined in 1999 as “Women in Refrigerators” by comic book artist Gail Simone, the origins of the phrase are from Green Lantern #54 where the current Green Lantern Kyle Rayner comes home to find his then girlfriend Alexandra DeWitt had been murdered by the Major force and stuffed in a refrigerator. Simone and a group of feminist comic book artists compiled a list of fictional female characters who had been “killed, maimed or depowered” in peculiar ways to move forward the male character’s story arc rather than further develop them as their own characters. Simone also stated to make a point that: "If you demolish most of the characters girls like, then girls won't read comics. That's it!"

Pick Me Girls/Boys / Not Like The Other Girls

The “I’m not like other girls” type of girl who “doesn’t dress preppy” or follow any of the stereotypical high feminine trends which in turn means the male character needs to “pick her” since she’s “quirky and not like other girls”. This is describing a female who craves male attention and does it by making herself “stick out” from the “normal” feminine trends. This trait testers on the edge of internalized mysogony in acting as if one gender is superior to another. In this particular case, the pick me girl acts as if being a man or acting masculine is superior to being a woman or acting/presenting feminine or as they will put it “girly”. 

Alternatively there is another type of pick me girl who acts as if she is frail and dainty and weak and needs a big strong man to help her. Her only discernible personality trait is being cute and small and needing a boy to confirm these traits to give her male validation. 

This is actually a quite toxic trend that pits people people against each other due to the attention seeking nature of th pick me girl who is always in need of male validation by going about things in the wrong way.  

The trend came to rise in popularity in around 2019 has people in real life began to adapt their personality more to this concept due to media such as movies, television, books and video games displaying this type of female character. 

The concept of a pick me girl is no where near new to hit media tropes, as seen in Not Another Teen Movie (2001) in which using satire, the movie mocks this type of trope in saying that the female character is “so unlike other girls” that no boy could possible want to pursue her romantically simply because she “isn’t girly”.

There of course is a male counter part of the us trope being the pick me boy which is just as toxic. The pick me boy uses self deprecation as a form of emotional manipulation, trying to encourage the female he is pursuing to counteract negative statements he makes about himself. 

Sexy Lamp

The strong on paper female character that lacks any discernible personality traits of distinguishing qualities. Her existence is completely irrelevant tot he story or plot as a whole. This is another case in media where a female character is objectified for no reason. Most commonly this trope is thrown in to change the feel and combat the stereotype of female characters being dainty or high feminine but could be seen as just as objectifying.  

There is also a Sexy Lamp test which tests the relevancy of a female character in a piece of media. The sexy lamp test was established by Kelly Sue DeConnick and came to rise when DeConnick brought it up during an Emerald City Comic Con panel titled "From Victim to Hero".  

Manic Pixie Dream Girl 

The whimsical quickly eccentric female character that appears out of the blue to show the male character “a whole new world” and “opens his eyes to everything”. She enters his life solely to “change is worse view” before disappearing at the end without a trace. 

This term was coined by film critic Nathan Rabin from Kristen Dunst’s character in Elizabethtown (2005) in which he stated that the manic pixie pixie dream girl “exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to each broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and it’s infinite mysteries and adventures.” 

While it is not as common as the manic pixie dream girl, there is also the male counterpart being the manic pixie dream boy in which the trope is exactly the same but the genders are swapped. 

Other examples of the manic pixie dream girl phenomenon are Grace Van DerWall as Stargirl in Stargirl, Mary Elizabeth Winsted as Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgram versus the World and Cara Delevingne as Margo Roth Spiegelman in Paper Towns

Magical Negro

The back character who seems to exist only to provide spiritual or mystical help to the white savior protagonist. The character has no discernible inner life usually existing only to to provide life lessons to the protagonist. This is a harmful media trope that chalks black characters up to being nothing more than some kind of guide to the main usually white protag that appears only when the protag needs a quick lesson on the things happening in the world around them. 

With the rise in more and more people of color in the media this trope has become less relevant and common but is still just as harmful. 

It's a racial stereotype that I feel like gets overlooked because people will argue things like "well they're a powerful character how is making them powerful racist?". Continuing to use this trope is continuing to put marginalized people in tiny boxes to fit a story narrative and to seem like the story is diverse because not all the characters are white.

White Savior Protagonist 

The overused main character protagonist in which the main character is usually a cisgender straight white male with a savior complex dead set on “saving” everyone. Not only is this degrading for other groups of people but it is demeaning because the protag’s savior complex makes them feel the need to do good not because the people around them need it but because it makes the protag feel better about them self. 

Not every person in the world is a cishet white guy hellbent on saving the world because he has no other choice. By using only the same person as a protag over and over and over again, you're writing to the same demographic over and over and over again. As a woman of color, I'm honestly kind of sick of seeing the same actors playing roles that all feel the same in every movie or show I watch. Diversity not only gets different demographics of people invested in a story but it makes them feel like they're being seen. Like they can final put themselves in the main character's shoes and feel like the hero.

Bury Your Gays 

The media trope that portrays the death of LGBTQ+ characters due to them being deemed more expendable then the heterosexual characters. Often times rather than writing the character out of the show or allowing them to continue on in the story, the LGBTQ character is killed off. The portrayal of this trope makes it appear that queer characters are more likely to die over heterosexual characters. Many people have speculated that this is meant to show that queer characters have less of a purpose than their straight counterparts. It’s unfortunate to see writers continuously choosing to kill of queer characters, especially since the spark of queer fans speaking out on wanting to see more characters like them on the big screen or in books. It’s eerily similar to people of color speaking out on never seeing characters that look like them or characters that are only ever portrayed by harmful stereotypes. In recent years the trope has slowly became less popular but still is very much alive unlike the characters. 

One of the best examples out there is death of the beloved character Castiel from CW’s fifteen season live action series Supernatural. Castiel was introduced in season four of the show and fans immediately recognized how chemistry with the male lead Dean Winchester. For the next ten seasons of the show fans called out the queer-baiting of The CW’s portrayal of the characters until in one of the final episodes of the shows fifteen year long run in which Castiel declares his love for Dean which results in him being sent to “super hell”. Another example of this trope that sparked much backlash is show Lexa from the post apocalyptic science fiction drama The 100 (which also originally aired on The CW) in which the character Lexa is fatally shot in the same episode in which she and the female lead Clarke Griffin are shown spending the night together for the first time. The very act of killing Lexa in such a way sparked fans of the show to donate to LGBTQ charities all in Lexa’s name.

It is no secret that The CW is no stranger to Bury Your Gays. 

Interestingly enough, when actor Ruby Rose was forced to leave behind the lead role of Katherine “Kate” Kane in The CW’s Batwoman, show runner Caroline Drier decided to write the character out of the show leaving the potential death ambiguous due to the Bury Your Gays trope on account on her own sexuality. According to Dries the character is not dead and "As a lesbian who's been working as a writer for the past 15 years, I’m well aware of the 'Bury Your Gays' trope and I have no interest in participating in it,"

That being said, Rose was apparently forced off the show by the show runner as well as, executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, and The CW itself. Rose added onto this that they were unable to continue going on due to injuries and other medical complications from stunt work working on the show. 

TDLR; These are my takes on media and writing tropes that I see way too frequently and I find harmful as they continue to be present in media and writing today influencing people who don't know any better.
