#this shit is laughable

[communistkenobi]

students in the social sciences can’t explain it either lol. “people in this country see no merit in studying any subject that cannot go on a resume” that’s because they go to school to get a job! I wonder what larger structural factors contribute to this widespread relationship people have to higher education. maybe this guy can use his big beautiful humanities degree to explain it to us

#‘this country’ I’m assuming this person is American also which is doubly laughable #I wonder why people going into tens of thousands of dollars into debt want to focus on shit that will get them a job. impossible to know #also profoundly arrogant & self serving. I’m sure this is a humanities person because they all believe art is inherently revolutionary #and artists are the most oppressed special and uniquely capable labourers on the planet

bruce “piles my entire moral framework onto dick’s shoulders and blames him when either one of us buckles under it bc i know deep down he’s the only one that’ll forgive me for it” wayne

#i was half-coherently thinking about that scene when bruce and dick are beating the shit out of each other after dick’s “death’’ #and also that line where dick’s like: bruce…nothing can be same btwn us ever again #and i KNOW this is bc of shitty writing but the way that statement was proved laughably false by #their dynamic snapping back to exactly what it was #(i haven’t read taylor’s nightwing run) #and those thoughts somehow led here #no alfred doesn’t count. rn i can’t articulate why but i may be able to if you ask me in the morning. but he doesn’t qualify for this #bruce wayne #batman #dick grayson #nightwing #dc

Theres always a cost at browsing mods, and a new level of cursed appeared

#i love mods #but some of this weak shit is laughable #just make a boring ass character instead

Imagine being an anti in 2024 still going "can we please stop shipping characters that hate each other" and use BAKUDEKU of all ships.

With everything we have seen with those two? Especially, all of what is happening in the current arc?! Yeah, "hate" is not the word. Sorry, but I wouldn't be like that with someone I genuinely hate. If you think that's "hate"... um...

#it's now laughable at this point #'they hate each other' #insert that john cena meme #like i really just thinks antis want to complain and/or seek attention #it's sad and i so mean this #it is so sad that antis will bash a ship and tag it with that ship name #find something else to do and i promise you you will feel a lot better #not being sarcastic at all #i really mean that shit #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #midoriya izuku #bakugou katsuki #izuku midoriya #katsuki bakugou #bkdk #bakudeku #dekubaku #dkbk

swifties really talk about their 34 year old white billionaire like she is the most oppressed person on the goddamn planet.

poor BILLIONAIRE wasn’t allowed to be BEJEWELED.

#when they use the term ‘be bejeweled’ unironically i want to bang my head against the wall #also no one is making her hide??? #and you really think those camera placements weren’t deliberate? there were literally signs #on taylor’s vip suite telling the cameras taylor would be there #so this is just fucking laughable #anyway #fuck taylor swift #fuck swifties #shit swifties say #anti taylor swift

Remember on the Dream SMP when people built statues and monuments and put up photos and paintings in loving memory of Thrice Dead TommyInnit? And remember when he came back to life, those people were beside themselves with pity? And remember how, within months of that resurrection, nearly all of them returned to treating him as a server-wide punching bag while making excuses for the man who had killed him all three times? Remember how we were all told not to judge them for that?

#look anika's talking! #like the everyday shit we put up with would be LAUGHABLY INEXCUSABLE in another fandom #it was fucking insane #mcyt #tommyinnit #dsmp #fandom critical #discourse

Sometimes I laugh when I think back to that post an anti made on twitter a while back, claiming that Wang Zhuocheng was a bad actor because he conveyed too many emotions through his performance and as such mischaracterised Jiang Cheng (you know.. the character that went on a fucking rollercoaster of emotions throughout the story..)..

What they really mean is that they felt something watching his performance and refuse to accept that he's a great actor playing an equally great role and they're just mad that he played it so well that they actually sympathised with the character. 😊

#jiang cheng #jiang wanyin #mxtx mdzs #mo dao zu shi #the untamed #wang zhuocheng #these antis are fucking crazy #the extremes they go through just to hate a character #only to look like bitter bullies #completely laughable #and to the ones saying that it was the actor who made JC likeable amongst his fans and not the character... lol. yeah no. #you were always supposed to sympathise JC. The poor man went through so much shit #the inner conflict he went through rrgarding WWX #the love for his sect and people #his love for JL! #his complicated feelings and emotions and the sacrfices he was willing to make for those he loves.. #how can you be surprised that there are people who love him when all this exists?? In ALL canon versions might I add?? #y'all are sleeping on such a good character here #i can guarantee that we all didnt need WZC's great acting and good looks to fall in love with him #JC did all that on his own 💜✨️ #still appreciate WZC for his stellar performance tho.. And for making bitter JC antis feel things! 🤭

the thing about the fob healing tour is that it has filled me with so much vindication that now whenever i see Bad Fall Out Boy Opinions (of which so many people are so unnecessarily loud about) it’s literally just like lol okay so you missed the point so bad it makes you look stupid and we are all laughing at you. get laughed at loser we do not have time to entertain your silliness we are busy healing and partying together forever.

#this isnt about anyone specific it’s about a lot of people on various platforms just so blatantly missing the point #1) if you arent a fob fan why does fob and their fans having a good time piss you off. #why does it make you feel the need to make some snarky comment about how Your Band Is Better like. bro you missed the point of BOTH bands #this is so sad for you #2) mania/post hiatus haters who claim to be fans lmao do you realize how idiotic you sound. get a clueeeeeeeee #3) i have chosen not to emotionally engage in polls here because all they do is bring out the worst in people #but also. be for real lmao. you can vote for what you personally prefer and just say that #there is absolutely no need to start cutting one of them down or mocking the lyrics #4) people commenting on joe and pete’s expressions and movements are either so uninformed it’s laughable #or are ​ableist or racist or both #ANYWAY. we have two shows left and i’m so excited for them and that is where i am investing my time and energy #and not engaging with people looking to stir shit up #or just generally bring down the mood #we are better than that.

if only mainstream f1 fans defended non-white drivers from racists with even half the energy they're putting into defending brundle from cara

bonus:

alfa romeo being right

#remy.txt #fandom wank #salt tag #f1 #cara delevingne #british gp 2023 #its so so gross the way people are acting like she's a terrible fucking person n brundle is a victim #also the people calling him a legend and a goat are laughable lmao nobody would give a shit abt him if he wasnt a commentator #his racing career is forgettable as fuck #the bigotry of mainstream sports fans continues ig #then again why would they defend lewis yuki guanyu alex from racists. they themselves are racist to them #call is coming from inside the house etc etc

#sorry gale i didnt catch what you were saying there i was too busy taking 500 screenshots #bg3 #i'm SO bad at combat in this game #like laughably bad #my brain and tactically thinking are not meant to be 😔 #non sims #going to catch up with kmik this morning #i think i'll read it from the start again actually #i also want to make a sim for the office. its been so fun seeing the sims for it on my dash #it's so fucking hot today but the farmer is spreading slurry in the field #so i can't open any windows or the whole house will stink #can't decide if i want this place to be grossly humid or smell like cow shit for the next week 😔

Hearing about Rooser Teeth's demise... admittedly I havent kept up with a lot of their content ever since they fired Matt Bragg. But the fact remains that I was a part of that community for several long years.

I made fanart. I made friends. My god, I made friends! Some of the closest friends I have we bonded through the AH/RT community or some branch of it. My current DnD group that streams on twitch, we were all connected to the community at one point, one way or another.

I attended RTX several times, which I maintain was a wholly unique experience unlike any anime convention I've also attended. I had so much fun in that community. I know RT has and had some problematic elements but it was also such a... force. I dont regret joining it. It got me into let's plays and streaming, it brought us RWBY which I still love despite everything and numerous other entertaining shows, and more importantly it made me laugh and connected me with friends.

To see it all dissolve so suddenly is... grief inducing. My heart definitely mourns. I've never been in another fandom community like it, and I dont know if I will again.

And of course, I hope the employees and contract workers affected can get back on their feet quickly. I cant imagine their position. Like the rug has been pulled from under their feet, I'm sure.

Just... yeah. Cowabummer, dude.

#you can go on and on and on about how RT was a sinking ship these past several years #i dont want to hear it #i knew it was on a decline but they were still doing new things and making shit #it seemed like they at least had a few more years left #honestly i do put a chunk of the blame on WB #the company with a history of shitty laughably horrible mismanagement #but yeah #driveling dragon #i imagine RWBY will probably be bought but who knows how businews people think #a lot of wait and see happens now

I still can’t believe there are people who think that Will “I’m not gonna fall in love, just kidding I am in love already but I think I’ve been rejected so let’s rip off the bandaid” Byers isn’t going to get what he wants…in a show whose whole premise started with his abduction and is, by it’s creators own repeated admission, both going to focus on him the final season + about championing the underdog and the outcast.

It really is that simple, because once you know what the Duffers value...even if you haven’t dug that far into the show, it’s obvious where the “it started with Will, it will end with Will” is taking us based on tropes alone, if you listen to anything The Duffers say about their themes and narrative goals.

You don't even need color coding or parallels to other media to sort through it, because outside of any "but it was the 80s" commentary or "they would never break up the flagship couple" talk...Byler is literally just the logical thematic conclusion for Will's arc as the full embodiment of the outcasted, childlike AND the underdog, even if you don't like what they did to get our characters there.

Like? Will is literally the boy who represents the duffers love of being a “child at heart” and taking things you adored from your youth into being a grown up (see: their entire mf show being based on DnD and the media they loved as kids) on top of being a queer, poor, and regularly disrepected character.

He is the textbook representation of the outcast and underdog energy The Duffers love, to the point where you could hardly fit more "marginalized and imperfect" checkboxes into him without making him poc...and yet people actually believe he is going to be rejected not because there is no setup, or because there is no precedence for the storyline but solely because his love interest (who also has a non-conformity storyline and who is already making heart eyes at him) is currently dating a girl...and it would be "realistic" for him to get rejected? ☠️

Not to mention...I haven't even touched on how byler resolves Mike's own thematic issues and it already makes the most sense? Like?

How do you miss the most obvious plot twist setup in history not because its not blatantly set up, but because you’re homophobic? It really does have to be the blindness of heteronormativity thats driving most of this, because if you were a media literate homophobe, you would be screaming at the Duffers for doing it, not denying it’s happening at all. But ☕️

#byler #anti mlvn #duffer brothers #i am simply not blind enough for the foolishness of taking homophobes seriously tbh #their complaints are rooted in nonsense half the time #and yes this is kind of an offshoot of the 'bad writing' commentary of the tutor but #I swear on my LIFE knowing what good writing and a clear setup looks like makes byler so obvious its laughable #there's just no other thing they could be setting up with the choices they've made. everything else rings hollow #AND PEOPLE KNOW IT?!?! #mlvns saying things like 'it makes sense that mike and el have a less prominent role together in S5 but they won't break them up' #BABES LISTEN TO YOURSELF?!?! #the biggest season of the show and you think they're gonna let the 'flagship couple' be MID?! #Matt 'if its bad writing I'm not doing that shit' Duffer wouldn't even consider it. and its time you accepted that too 🤣 #ANYWAY #my st commentary #stranger things

#do the people who write/edit/publish/approve these articles not hear how insanely dystopian this sounds... #capitalism #reminder this is not a free market #in fact the USA is only rated around the 25th least govt regulated market #and isn't it convenient #how it's the ultrawealthy corporate lobbying groups who are able to influence much of what regulations the USA DOES have 🙄 #groups like ALEC that are comically evil - like straight up cartoon villains #Cruella de Vil irl type shit #and they just WRITE LAWS that will make them richer at the expensive of all the rest #and essentially legally bribe the actual so-called lawmakers to push their bills through #that isn't democracy... obviously #turns out the invisible hand is just a giant goddamn middle finger. shocking. #capitalism as a theoretical concept relies on the idea that transactions will be entirely or at least predominantly voluntary #and that both parties in the transaction will act out of self interest #but somehow everyone making transactions out of pure self interest and nothing more #ends up working to the benefit of society on the whole #which doesn't really hold water to begin with but gets even more laughable when you take into account that #it falls apart at stage 1 when you realize transactions can't be truly voluntary if #one party is struggling for survival and the other just wants a 7th yacht
