#anti homelander

[obsidianstrawberrymilk]

The Boys and Invincible aren’t deconstructions of Superman the character so much as they are deconstructions of how we see the Superman archetype. And his core Superman - Clark Kent - and his family are a story of immigrants, of choosing to be a good person and save people even with the knowledge you will never be truly accepted. The Boys is a deconstruction of how that archetype has been used for fearmongering and propaganda, and how deadly that can be - look at the comics from the 50s and 60s, the height of McCarthyism - of what Superman is used for, not who he is. Omni-Man is effectively, what would happen if General Zod came to Earth. It’s more a deconstruction of colonialism than anything, and it uses Superman - a character we have ingrained in us to trust - to try and lull us into the belief Omni-Man must be good, until we no longer can. Invincible is basically Chris Kent - a boy rejects his father’s imperialist ideals and chooses Earth and humanity. It puts Earth in the position of the colonized, not the colonizer.

Homlander is like why does no one love me???? Now normally I would say we don’t have time to unpack allll of that but we can break it down to you being: a rapist, psychotic, sociopath, murderer, narcissist and just a general lack of not giving a single fuck about anyone else or your actions.

Everyday im so glad Dominique got out of the toxic work environment that was the boys show, and you know who caused it all and made being on the show absolute shit? I’ll give you a guess, his character has blonde hair and he’s one of the supes

And the fact that kripke and co encouraged antony to act like a douche to make a more convincing homelander. They basically enabled his behavior. And its not just dominique he verbally harassed from season 2 to 3, he harassed the crew and is so full of himself it’s ridiculous. And Homelander/Antony stans do not interact if all you’re gonna say is you don’t know anything about antony or defending antony bullshit

Im team Dominique and i always will be

If Americans are so pressed about Israelis “living on stolen land”, then they should probably get back to their own countries too.

You’re criticizing so-called “stolen land” from stolen land… give it back babes.

If Billy Hargrove is your idea of evil, you’re a life virgin. Seriously, you must live in a hell of a security bubble.

 An abused teenager who spent the majority of his screen time in tears and being taken advantage of repeatedly isn’t evil. Labeling stuff you don’t understand as evil or problematic... do y’all ever get tired?? 

Being exposed to “the other side” is literally a part of life, and it’s not a bad thing. It can be good for you, actually. 

#yes i returned to main to say this #its so fucking stupid #id say you should watch more media to see a real villain #but too much media may be part of the problem idk #billy hargrove #fandom wank #it is painfully obvious just how sheltered a majority of antis are #that or theyre just in denial #wasting your time guilt tripping strangers into not liking a character is just dumb #if yall werent too quick to shut out what you don't understand... #there are actual problematic characters in media #idk come back when you can name 5 real ones lmfao #its pathetic #i can give you some rn #literally most hotd characters #patrick bateman from american psycho #theres homelander #oh and soldier boy

Sure, do it, make s*lki a canon.

Then we will definitely understand that common sense has rotted completely and mouse will rather ship sick, unhealthy relationships with a woman who doesn't even want it, than with a kind and romantically interested man who respects and appreciates his partner.

That they would be more satisfied with heterosexual lovers constantly quarreling than homosexual lovers supporting each other.

Come on, do it.

That doesn't change the fact that this is going to be the shittiest and far-fetched love line that has ever existed.

Do it, and then we'll all know exactly who really needs therapy.

#it's going to be the funniest thing that can happen #and I really don't understand why some people still supports this terribly toxic relationship #It's crazy it feels like forcing Loki to date fem!Homelander #loki #loki s2 #loki series #loki laufeyson #mobius m mobius #mobius x loki #loki x mobius #lokius #time husbands #anti sylki

one of the most bitter ironies from a certain flavour of western (usually American, British, French) leftist who’se decided to comment on the Jews Writ large and just suggest that Israelis ought to have just gone back to where they come from if they didn’t want to be murdered is that the US, UK, and France been hugely culpable in forcing massive numbers of Jews, along with other middle eastern refugees, from their homelands through colonialism and interventionist and destabilizing policies in Iran, Afghanistan , Algeria, Lebanon, Yemen, and so forth. It’s downright ghoulish to refuse to wrestle with the history behind why the vast majority of the worlds’ middle eastern Jews live in the state of Israel when YOU, as the major colonial powers of the region, are culpable for it

#No I don’t want to hear from Yankees about Jews dying as a form of solidarity from their own actions actually #Everyone should be an anti Zionist #An essential and I mean ESSENTIAL part of that work is mentally reckoning with WHY Jews live in the state of Israel to begin with #Because otherwise? Kinda feels like the worst forms of gaslighting #Sorry we destabilized your homelands to the extent you were forced to leave as refugees AND refused to reckon with creating a global world #In which you could be safe! #Here’s someone else’s land. As a treat #All you refugees can be unceremoniously dumped here now have fun guys!!!!! #As an Ashkenazi but also tagalog Jew: there isn’t nearly enough intersectionality on Jews themselves as post colonial victims or how the #State ideology was founded in the first place #It’s extra bitter to hear simplistic takes from western leftists about how the Jews can just go home like #A) where? Where too? #And b. I don’t want to throw them this bone #But the vast vast majority of Jews who don’t live in isreal live in other settler colonial states #Because we were. Moved there #But for some funny reason those tend to be the states they live in and they don’t consider their own passports sufficient cause of dea #death. Or something

“why would elaena marry a dornishman when they’re nasty evil people who murdered her poor innocent brother daeron”

maybe because once elaena grew up she realized that there were better ways of bringing dorne into the realm than violent conquest, and that daeron got the death he deserved from not just a nobility that is valid for fearing subjugation from valyria but also a smallfolk sick and tired of these people showing up every few decades to set their principality on fire, and put aside any anti dornish sentiments she may or may not have harbored as a child to see the way her family had directly attributed to their suffering, eventually even falling in love with and marrying a dornish man??

also, considering daeron ii attempts a type of proto-reparations act in bringing dorne into the kingdom, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that someone as intelligent as elaena would recognize the inherent racism in the targaryen conquest of dorne and especially considering the very loud anti-dornish, deeply anti intellectual faction in the blackfyre rebellions, realized they wouldn’t be kind or understanding of an intelligent woman like herself and had no interest in herself or her daughters (of which she had four!!) getting shoved back into the maidenvault again?

like, daeron i is on some andrew jackson manifest destiny shit, and if it makes me an asshole for thinking “god i wish someone had merked jackson before he genocided & displaced my ancestors, good on the dornish for realizing you can’t negotiate with imperialists” than i am perfectly comfortable being considered an asshole right next to my girl elaena.

#everyone discoursing about the young dragon. listen. they should have tortured him before they killed him too. #anti daeron i targaryen #valyrianscrolls #anti house targaryen #idk just in case. clearly i’m not anti everyone i’m complimenting elaena & daeron ii #elaena targaryen #daeron the good #daeron ii targaryen #getting on my soap box #dorne #also when i say ‘my ancestors’ i mean that jackson passed the indian removal act specifically to remove my tribe (and several others) bc #white people in the midwest didn’t like that we wouldn’t leave. #my tribe managed to work somethjng out and only had to move a couple miles away from our homelands. others in our area were forcibly mkced #*moved. look up the potawatomi trail of death. they marched them thru illinois’ capital. dozens including children died. #also read about the fort dearborn massacre. and rising up from indian country which makes the argument that it wasn’t a massacre #but a battle bc white americans had been raiding potawatomi villages for weeks. so the potawatomi struck back and people to this day insist #it was a massacre just bc the potawatomi were better at fighting than the americans. nah. #u don’t get to wage a war of conquest on an innocent and indigenous population just to turn around and say they were mean for fighting back. #i’m sorry i woke up today and decided to choose violence. i’m in an awful mood aksjdjd

You know, as shallow and cheesy as Awakening's writing can get at times, the way it handles Mustafa vs 3H's handling of Edelgard are kind of interesting when compared.

Mustafa is someome that we as players know for exactly one, singular chapter. He is a commander of a troops of soldiers, and he dies the same map he is introduced in. And yet, he has become one of Awakening's most beloved NPC's - if nothing else, he is certainly rarely hated outright. And that is because in his one, singular chapter, he manages to showcase to the player how much of a genuinely good person he is; he is helpless to outright defy his orders, but inspired by Emmeryn's sacrifice he nonetheless tries to plea for Chrom to surrender and avoid bloodshed. He takes their outrage not with anger, or defensiveness, but understanding and sympathy - he knows he is in no place to ask them to surrender, but he does so for the slightest chance of avoiding a fight ultimately he had no power to stop. And after the battle begins and his men start becoming despondent, he loudly tells them that should they want to flee the battle he will take any blame off of their shoulders for doing so. But his men stand by him regardless because they don't want to abandon him, and when Mustafa is killed his dying words are to please spare his men.

In just one chapter, Awakening managed to pull at the players' hearts by going out of its way to show us the kind heart of Mustafa, before forcing our hand in killing him, all while one of the most melancholic tracks of the game plays in the background, further cementing how tragic the situation at hand is for all involved. Most players recall it as one of the most impactful and emotional moments of the entire game.

In contrast to that - and let's assume that we're talking about strictly SS - you have half of the entire route's length having Edelgard by your side directly. As Byleth, you the player can directly speak to and support with her, and you see her perspective on the events of the story. And throughout this time, Edelgard shows herself again and again to be someone of poor character; she admits to being willing to sacrifice her men right after Lonato, Byleth eventually finds out that she helped kidnap Flayn, and that she was somehow complicit with Remire, she graverobbed a holy site and tried to kill Byleth and her "friends" with an army and Demonic Beasts.

And this only includes stuff that Byleth, as a character, finds out throughout the story. They don't know that Edelgard only let them talk with her (aka the player only gains her supports) once they gain the Sword of the Creator, for the explicit reason that she wanted to use them. They don't know that Edelgard didn't just waltz in after Remire randomly, but that she knew it was going to happen and did nothing to stop it. And this only includes stuff in pre-timeskip; they don't see her continue to use Demonic Beasts, or hide behind her citizens, or keep Rhea as a hostage so that she can keep using TWS's help.

And I look at these two characters and am kinda lowkey astonished at how different their writing is. When Mustafa's men grow angry at the soldiers who are shaking in their resolve to fight for Mustafa, I'm on the verge of tears because I know that Mustafa does not deserve death. When Seteth talks about how Edelgard can't be that bad of a ruler because her men follow her, I can't help but roll my eyes. When Henry mentions Mustafa off-handedly in a support chain, I get so sad because the only way to speak about Mustafa at that point is in the past tense. When I talk to characters in the explore sections and I hear them talk about feeling bad about Edelgard dying, I just mash through their babbling.

Because I am given ample reason to understand why characters would like, respect, and mourn for Mustafa. He is kind-hearted, self-sacrificial should it possibly save the lives of others, and does everything he can to make the lives of those around him better. In the collective fuckin' 10 minutes of screentime he has, he shows a quality of character that does nothing but suggest that he was a damn fine person thrown into an impossibly unfortunate circumstance.

But with Edelgard, everything I see of her only tells me that she is selfish, self-centered, and uncaring for the lives around her should they inconvenience her. Why would any character like, respect, or mourn for her, after seeing everything she's done? Even going under the assumption that the players gets all of her supports to the max as they are available in pre-timeskip; nothing, in any support chain, could ever dream of usurping her actions towards everyone. In both a "all of her friends" sense, and especially in a "all of Fodlan" sense. So when I see characters go out of their way to make sure the player knows how swell Edelgard is, I am simply unable to believe that anyone would ever genuinely believe that about her. Not when themselves, their loved ones, and their homelands (for Kingdom/Alliance students) are all being endangered by Edelgard's active, willful actions that she chose to make.

Which itself is another huge thing that makes it so hard to believe anyone in-game would believe in her outside of contrived writing. She's not someone forced to do what she does against all of her wishes, like Mustafa; she is the one with all of the power of 1/3 of Fodlan's political landscape and half of its territorial one. She is the one to spearhead and instigate the war - that is one of explicit conquest anyway, not for any altruistic purpose. Why would anyone cry and snivel and piss themselves over the fact that the person who had the power to make them suffer and did make them suffer lost? Why are they pretending that she's just some poor damsel whose path was so lonely, and not the conquering Emperor that she is and admits to being?

Soooo... yeah lmao. I just found that pretty interesting

#anti edelgard #anti-edelgard #edelgard critical #edelgard discourse #just to be safe #like. I can SEE why Mustafa's men are willing to fight an unwinnable battle for him. why they would die for him #i have NO clue why the hell Ladislava is so loyal to Edelgard - why anyone other than Hubert would ever be GENUINELY loyal to her #MAYBE as a player looking in you can find good in Edelgard but the characters themselves? most don't have that knowledge #and so all most of them have going for them is ''girly who lied to them about colluding with terrorists for a year & tried to murder them'' #and THEN they'd have ''girly who violently invaded my homeland with terrorists and mutated humans'' once the war starts #which y'know call me crazy but i don't think She Was Nice To Me Once In High School is enough to offset that image painted by her actions

I can’t believe people are hating on Ryan now for being comforted that at least one person (who happens to be his literal dad) thinks that him killing his mum wasn’t on purpose 💀

Ryan was sheltered his whole life and the one time he tries to use his (untrained) powers he ends up killing the person he was trying to protect. To any normal person this was obviously a horrific accident but also not his fault. You can hate Homelander all you want but not everything he says is automatically wrong and the reason Ryan is with him is because butcher failed. You cannot blame a kid for choosing the person he believes will give him more love and security, especially when he has absolutely no context for any of the rest of it

#I don’t blame becca I think she was basically right but I think everyone involved was at least naive to let that kind of power go unchecked #and also to think that the worlds most pathetic man ™ wouldn’t immediately go after them when he found out #no offence to butcher but I don’t care about your man pain #fridging a female character TWICE only for the male character to learn nothing EVER is not good writing sorry #get over yourself i swear to god #anyway I’m sure next season will destroy any hl ryan character development but til then it is what it is #ryan made the most logical choice for the position he’s in #he just needed someone to say they didn’t hate him #the boys #the boys spoilers #Homelander #ryan butcher #? #ryan lander lmao #anti butcher #I suppose.. at least some of the tags are a bit

a white english anti-war socialist wins a seat in parliament and the next day the hindi PM says that this is an alarming sign of rising rabid-antisemitism, far-right politics, and islamic fundamentalism.

??? what

#am i missing something here #it is hilarious btw that the most unhinged and deranged tories in the UK right now are british asians #iirc the tory foreign minister who tried drafting up that plan to stop 100% all migration whatsoever by deporting everyone to rwanda #under bojo #was also a british asian #they act like complete spastics trying to put forth policy and saying things that no other group in the uk would ever try #where's that picture of the 'fuck off we do not want your kind around here' where it's the one brown guy next to another brown guy #they're in the political ruling class for barely a year and they've already completely destroyed their party LOL #the english obsession with fascism and anti-semitism (akin to american fears of socialism) despite it being mostly a farce is already funny #but the people actually enacting the most deranged xenophobic policies not being white british alt-right weenies #but other british asians wanting to keep out other colonials they hate from their homeland is beyond hilarious #txt

when aot was just abt to end, there were leaks ofc as there always are lol abt eren not really achieving any of his plans. and so much of the aot fandom, who have never lived through war, were genuinely upset over this. eren literally commits global genocide, he and his plan doesn’t deserve to achieve anything. especially not anything that would benefit him.

eren wasn’t one of my favorites until season 4 because of how utterly fucked up he is. he was a tragic MC who started off as a hero and as the story progressed, became a monster. even though we know what leads to his corruption, genocide is still wrong actually and having a characters worst fear come to life due to their own actions is the sort of tragic irony isayama loves. we’ve already seen isayama do this with reiner, zeke and grisha. it’s satisfying yet devastating at the same time how harsh the story is on them.

and the story should’ve been a lot more harsher to eren instead of the positive reaffirmation he got in 139 and from most of the fandom. eren claims the rumbling was for paradis, like thst shit didn’t kill off most of paradis’ population, and than he claims that it was for his friends (like pieck, who he has never even had a conversation with) but than he admits it was for himself - and it wasn’t satisfying at all because isayama wanted us to feel bad for eren and it worked. never mind the fact that eren killed his own mom, that he manipulated his own father for taking the FT for his own gain, that he annihilated 80% of the world - he did it for his friends 😊 so it’s okay! friendship >>>> genocide 😝

aot taking a very strong stance against eren’s actions and plan, denouncing them as wrong (bc they are) and showing them that nothing good comes out of them is wayyyyyy better the woobification and the mini redemption arc we got from him in the last chapter.

this is why i hate it when aot fans talk abt aot like it’s the greatest anti-war anime ever made. i think majority of aot fans are westerners or come from developed countries. it’s easier to understand war when ur watching cartoons of it instead of actually living through it. a huge part of the fandom justifies eren’s genocide, even with characters explicitly condemning him. do you really think it’s clear with its anti-war message when all we got was a few sad faces and a huge thank you from the main cast? one of the main themes in aot is the moral grayness of the world. the warriors did what they did because they were child soldiers trying to protect their families, EMA would’ve done the same. the scouts raided liberio (and were heavily against it). and masses of innocent people died in the name of other groups interests. there were literally no winners in this at all.

but why have characters that should’ve narratively and thematically been against eren suddenly forgive and praise him?

why break all the characterization, break all those different point of views, for the warriors specifically, if not for the final woobification of eren?

eren could’ve had one of the most extraordinary corruption arcs in all of anime just for that to be ruined and i will forever be mad abt it

#ending defenders dni #we are not gonna argue abt this if you see this just look away 😭 #if you haven’t actually lived through war #if you haven’t actually had to see people dying due to war #if you haven’t had to go through the humiliation of being a refugee #than you have no reason to defend this atrocious piece of anti war media #anti-war media made by those from countries of imperial power are always really bad #idk i just hate when westerners talk abt war #over the past few weeks #my homeland has been routinely bombed and attacked #and while i try to ignore this deep seated feeling of anguish inside of me #i go onto tumblr #and i see bitches woobifying a fictional white man for the genocide he commits #and seeing pple praise aot as an anti-war piece of media is what prompted this post #being a refugee in this country is so funny lol #also my homeland is one of the countries that has the most child soldiers in the world #which is why i think i relate more to the warriors than anything #aot could’ve been so great if it was written by me #attack on titan critical #attack on titan meta #eren jaeger critical #eren critical #eren jeager meta #eren x reader #eren jeager x reader #aot spoilers #aot isn’t a good anti-war analysis because isayama isn’t a devoted anti imperialist #if ur naming characters after nazis and imperial japanese war ships #i don’t expect u to even be anti-war i expect u to be a bigot #i can’t believe people just swept isayama’s worrying obsession with ww2 under the ruh
