I never noticed how much right winged shit that was in tangled. It's like a right winged loser wrote this movie. There's the villain being a antisemitic stereotype, a born sexy yesterday character and a creepy ass romance with a grown ass man and a barely 18-year-old girl. The movie has a cast with only white people except for the villain, cultural appropriation, and they made the blonde hair super important and valuable. They even added in a plot point with a blood libel allegory! It’s like a Disney movie from the 50s, but they tried to make it appear like it’s more progressive in the trailers. I would not be surprised if Walt Disney wrote this script back when he was alive and when Disney was making their rapunzel adaptation, they just went with the script. No changes at all. I think they made it ten times more offensive than the Grimm version, and that’s saying something because Rapunzel was already antisemitic.
I would not be surprised if this movie was famous in racist circles or something similar. It also makes sense that the fandom is super toxic and racist because of the shit in this movie.
I'm currently Living for the moral dilemma Milgram has put us in
Because I was initially shocked people were so adamant about still voting Muu guilty -- this is only the second trial, why not forgive her temporarily if it saves a life? I thought it's like Mikoto: why let two people suffer when trying to punish the crime of one? We shouldn't let our hatred for a criminal force us to punish an innocent. But it's not like that, because Haruka isn't an innocent caught in the crossfire, he's volunteering to get hurt. So I wondered if my principles are really that weak, that I was willing to forgive a crime I thought was horrible so easily.
But then it still comes back to what a person can live with. Is there blood on our hands or his if he dies? True it was his choice, but if we had the opportunity to save him and didn't, aren't we still to blame? Isn't that exactly what Amane was voted guilty for doing? Is it our job to save everyone? If not our job, our responsibilty as people? Even if they're putting themselves in danger purposely to manipulate us? Where do we draw the line?
Just re-reading some early write-ups, for old times' sake, and it is just. hilariously typical of me, that the first time I tried to follow Macaria, I was there in Alighieri's watching her, getting slightly bored, but sticking with it, and then Kampe comes in and essentially does this
When I was 11 I constructed a device out of old toys, junk from around my house, and duct tape. No, I didn't know what a katamari was because that hadn't been invented yet. It was deeply meaningful to me and everyone at school made fun of me for it. I kept adding on more stuff to it every day until my teacher told me if it got any bigger I wouldn't be allowed to bring it to class anymore. So I brought it back in the next day without adding anything else, which was... not what the intended outcome of that conversation was supposed to be, I guess. I think I made most people extremely uncomfortable. Apparently this was endearing though because I remember one of my friends bringing it up several years later in high school as some kind of a fond memory of me when our conversation in physics class naturally turned to the topic of the King of All Cosmos.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
