#but im not a fan of the hypocrisy

[fideidefenswhore]

i bought TMATL before mantel's comments came out and i feel awful about it. i wish there was a way to return the royalties.

well, you can always donate the same amount to the NCTE.

you didn't know, so don't beat yourself up about it. it's far better to learn and grow than self-flagellate.

although, one has to wonder how much bbc is REALLY 'in thrall of [the] trans lobby' (lol) if they're filming/promoting/releasing a second season based on source material of an author that has made her stance on this quite clear.

#and ...yknow. just listen . #it's nice that you're even acknowledging it bcus many haven't; or they have once and then they just kind of...move on #it is odd to see such a hard line drawn with like the harry potter verse. and jk rowling #i mean rowling is constantly promoting this agenda and does have a larger platform but.... yeah. idk. i guess everyone draws the hard line #at different places #but im not a fan of the hypocrisy #i see a lot of people mock anyone that still has HP nostalgia and some of the things people that #say they are against gender essentialism but still have it say #but they're still very attached to this series and say the same things...it's interesting #'but this is my comfort character' #they will say to even quote it is to not be supportive. but will do so with those #*this #it's always easier to mock others than to self-examine your own behaviors #i suppose because this is more a high literary series that appeals to the bluestocking crowd #but you know...mantel has/had a very large platform too #she could have used it to say anything. she chose to use it say this #i can't respect that choice. and i won't. #there were definitely some red flags that maybe some did not see as that but. again. for the future #like. 'a royal woman is a royal vagina' . #anon #also another double standard thing i've noticed between them? it's easy to say well they're bestselling international sensations; #me promoting or buying or streaming their work isn't going to make a difference. drop in the bucket #but you can't say that for one and not the other #if you're going to hold other people responsible for their consumption and who it supports #then you have to do the same for yourself. or you're just a hypocrite performing lip service for clout #and it seems very clear that you don't actually care about the people you're professing to 'defend'

not to "uwu" Alastor in any way, but it's WILD to me how many people act like him asserting dominance to Husk as a "omg he's the worst! Husk is so innocent!!! Alastor is just as bad as Valentino!!" esp when in comparison to the V's (and to Angel and Valentino)

bc like, Husk WAS ALSO AN OVERLORD. HE ALSO BOUGHT AND SOLD SOULS. HE GAMBLED THEM, WHICH IS ALMOST WORSE, BECAUSE IF I SOLD MY SOUL TO ONE PERSON I DONT WANT THEM TO JUST SELL IT TO THE NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER!

like the 2 aren't really comparable - it's heavily implied/speculated that Val in some way tricked Angel in his contract, meanwhile Husk gambled and lost and sold his soul to Alastor to keep his powers as an overlord, just without the title or souls

I'm not saying it's not a bit fucked up with Alastor's threat to Husk and Husk's fear, I get that 1000%. But sometimes I feel like Husk fans who hate Alastor forget that Husk landed HIMSELF in that position and Alastor just took advantage of it - he could have just lost everything INCLUDING his power instead

Like he says it himself, "I sold my soul to keep my power" bro knew what he was getting into - he ALSO owned people's souls the SAME as Alastor

I'm not saying Alastor is innocent, or he's secretly a good guy, or that you even need to like him - but the hypocrisy gets me here bc we don't KNOW how Husk was as an overlord, but him being an overlord doesn't make him an innocent victim in this!

#hazbin hotel #hazbin analysis #husker #husk #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin husk #like yes im an alastor fan dont get me wrong #and i also like husk #but the hypocrisy here gets me!!! #im not trying to uwu alastor i dont want to change him from how he is and tbh i liked the threat #reminding the audience who he is and his position in relation to everyone else #but ppl acting like its the same as val abusing angel is WILD #alastor just treats husk like he's his pet and makes him bartend and only threatened him when husk said something that would #RUIN alastor if anyone else heard or learned about it #its not the same

Ain’t it funny how the people who HATE the phrase “all lives matter” are the same people who happily chant “Feminism is for everyone” ??

#listen im not a fan of 'all lives matter' but the hypocrisy is eye-watering #feminism is not for everyone #feminism is for women and girls #radical feminism #radfem #gender critical #critical thinking requires thinking

I think an interesting phenomenon that happens post stanhood, is people making these whole "revelations" about how this cc they liked was a "terrible person all along" and bringing up all this stuff they had brushed off as a fan.

I myself have felt this need before- to just go absolutely off on a creator I used to love, who I now feel has wronged me in some way. but I don't think it's really productive. obviously new context can recontextualize past things you thought were harmless, but Its something I see ex stan drantis do a lot. like the idea that dream had somehow bewitched you into compromising your morals in some way. I just don't really want us to do the same thing with q/tommy

#i guess im just not a big fan of hypocrisy #like there are so many people eho are fine brushing something off while they are a fan but are suddenly so scandalized by when they stop

ah, what an interesting video about hating on [80s rockstar] you have posted here, gen z tiktok user. did the virtue signaling feel good babe? was the harassment of [80s rockstar] fans fun? did the validation you got fill the void in your soul

#i get glimpses of hair metal tiktok through a mutual and im just. #gurl you hate on axl rose but watch pam and tommy #and yknow i would get it if these ppl just disliked hair metal and the like in general. still doesnt excuse the wank but at least #there is no hypocrisy here #but the majority of haters are also fans of different bands and i just. gurl. they all suck #some more some less but you will find incriminating material on 99% of them #you either dont support the entire genre or take off your puritan dress and show everyone you are wearing assless chaps like the rest of us #there is no completely unproblematic pieces of media as well as creators. learn for yourself how much youre willing to excuse #and enjoy your fave music without constantly justifying yourself #where do these people get the energy for hate. give it to me i will put it to good use #hair metal #arnold's diary #80s rock #purity culture

Atiny twitter is infighting over woosan shippers and I get it but fans need to stop being hypocritical and decide if they are actually against rp shipping or if they just hate woosan

San got an umbrella on his new custom in ears and people started getting mad at anybody who mentioned woosan but you could say SH and HJ are fucking and people would think it’s funny and cool to say

#ateez #woosan #discourse #I just think at this point people are overreacting every time somebody mentiones woosan #if San didn’t want it to be associated with woosan he wouldn’t get an umbrella?? #the double standards are weird to me considering most ateez fan content #is based on relationship dynamics between members #and shipping is rampant in this fandom with ALL members #they all literally have designated pairs #but for some reason just mentioning woosan is going too far? #when woosan are pretty ok with that stuff and it seems like they don’t mind it too much #im saying this from the perspective of a person who isn’t a shipper but who sees the hypocrisy in the fandom #like maybe he did get the umbrella for wooyoung because they’re close #what’s wrong with that?

Being a legends mando fan and a legends mando critic at the same time feels like holding my hand in the garbage disposal for funsies

#i chose this path i have no one to blame but myself #you cant blindly defend them bc they do shit that isnt defendable you cant say they all suck bc some factions try to improve their society #how many people involved in their development are just jedi or sith haters? #how many authors are just sexist and racist and weird and why is it always kt? #why is her trash taken as law but also death of the authored and held up as standard but both critiqued and loved irrationally #the hypocrisy and sheer dumbassery among mando fans can be tiring n #and i am so not exempt from my own grumblings but i am also just tired #sw discourse remains the worst discourse 1/10 dont recommend #god im not even getting into the comics and the disney shit thats a whole other can of worms

I’m loving all this Dusknoir/Dadnoir content, he’s always been my favorite-

ME TOO ANON, ME TOO.

#everything about dusknoir is just. so perfect to me #his motives. his betrayal. his hypocrisy. his kindness. #if there are 100 dusknoir fans im one of them. if there's 1 it's me. if there are 0 im dead. #just u wait anon. im gonna draw so much dusknoir content

Uh I still think Cabby is cool. Im just tired i think

#the negative stuff is in the tags btw #wriggling around like a little worm thinking of all the cool things they couldve done with her arc and turn the mirrors around to reflect #the shows issues and the problems with bare-minimum tolerance and the hypocrisy of the rest of the contestants essentially shunning her or #making her feel unwelcome while Bot seems to get everything also on a surface level but there are injustices with them too and how they are #just being used as a silly marketing ploy and a friendly face to go #See? we're progressive! We love our fans! BUY THE PRODUCT #BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PRODUCT BUY THE PR- #But then they take this whole thing and do nothing ignoring all the glaring ethical issues. god man im so sad #Bot n Cabby coulda had a real discussion about how they were treated and had a real close bond. IM SO SADDD #IM SO SAD!!! THEY HAD SOMETHING!!! THEY COULDVE FIXED IT!! #ii negativity #repetition #cant remember if i talked abt this before sorry if i have #i mightve hinted at it at some point in another persons post

i get being angry at michaels moves rn. hes definitely overplaying too early and not really looking at the big picture but some of yall are just being homophobes hsshsh. Like you can criticize michael’s game moves and the fact that he is being microaggressive without bringing up him being gay or his husband.

just remember the way you treat people from minority groups you dont like says everything about how you actually view those minority groups (both concsiousoy and subconsciously). Especially when i know for a fact some of you are genuinely vile human beings in private and find any and every little thing to excuse behave like high school bullies. And quite frankly idc if you are also gay or any other part of the lgbt+ community you can still be homophobic. One act of bigotry does not ever excuse another act of bigotry.

edit: also to add to this some of you were being openly and acknowledged you were being homophobic long before any of this stuff happened with michael so how does him making this move rooted in racism justify the homophobia thats been ongoing?

#bb24 #im not a fan of him actively targeting monte and joseph this early especially when kyle is equally a physical threat and much more sus yhan #than those two* #i already know people will probably be mad about this hshshs #but its very obvious and ignorant hypocrisy loves ❤️

I'm seeing more "Bedard doesn't wanna be in Chicago"/"Pull a Lindros" discourse... again -_- And tbh, everytime I see it, I think of the folks who wanted Bedard to join the Canucks instead of Chicago. And every time I think *that*, I immediately think of the Canucks' owner, who may or may not also be a piece of shit himself.

Having a normal one

#might fuck around and cry about trant #i am. emotionally unstable perhaps #i have extremely deep and complex feelings about him and it's making me so normal #but like sometimes you just see a character and go ''this is the worst version of what i could become'' and it's a whole thing y'know #like. i don't think he's a good person but my obsession with him is kind of personal rather than just like... enjoying him as a character #and that's why i find 90% of fan depictions of him deeply unsatisfying I need to see him at his worst #the hypocrisy and lack of backbone and the weird relationship to empathy and human suffering is all kind of cathartic to me #... for some reason tired brain feels like im gonna get hate for trant kin (derogatory) but alas 😔 #i don't actually know what kinning is really am i using that right

even leaving aside the "oh no people are leaving fandom RP on my posts on the fandom-and-commenting-on-other-peoples-posts website" aspect, telling a commenter to shut the fuck up

introduces conflict to a previously conflict-free situation

is rude

doesn't stop them commenting on your post

is a demand that other people give up their hobby for the sake of your comfort

blocking commenters

stops them from commenting on your posts or contacting you

takes immediate effect

will continue to work even if you change your URL

is not rude

does not make unreasonable demands

doesnt involve them in any way

So as far as I can tell the only reason to tell someone to shut the fuck up on your posts is to be mean. Like its not even disregarding other people's feelings: the only practical motivation for doing this is cruelty.

#fan wank #discourse #THE HYPOCRISY OF COMPLAINING ABOUT ENTITLEMENT #IN A SITUATION CAUSED BY YOUR OWN ENTITLEMENT #IM SO MAD ABOUT THIS #idk why im so mad but OH MY FUCKING GOD JESUS CHRIST #emotionally ive been catapulted back to 2012 #BUT HOLY SHIT OP CAN CHOKE #has OP considered shutting the fuck up

I love how the new pkmn scarletviolet trailer showed off some other pokemon as well as typings for the new terastalizing technique

But what gets me the most is the fact that the ghost type terastalize “hat” is the lavender town ghost icon

And people are losing their shit over it because IS THAT A GEN 1 REFERENCE!?/COOL GEN 1 CALLBACK

like guys… what else was it supposed to be??

#like everyone was lile UGH TERASTALISING LOOKS LAME WITH THE HATS #but the moment something from gen 1 is referenced everyones like WOW ITS SO COOL #?????? weird #i say what else is it supposed to be because the hats arent other pokemon #the only way to showcase ghost type is to literally use a ghost and how lucky that they have a premade ghost sprite to copy #i dont think its that big of a deal i just think its ironic considering the reactions of the masses #game freak can play yall like a fiddle as long as they reference gen wun and its not charizard? fans will go apeshit guaranteed #just some small gripes abt hypocrisy #im not saying you should automatically accept and love everything #but yknow semantics

Seems like except for the naked women, that concert was BRILLIANT

The texts between the songs, the use of recontextualised songs, the social commentary... simply chef's kiss

#actually v brave of them to criticise the hypocrisy like that esp. after the recent anti lgbt laws there #i don't know why they're controversial among rmt fans personally i think utyupins' concerts are brilliant. #first of all the aesthetics are always fantastic #they really put a lot of effort into the costumes and the make-up etc. #but also how they told a story like that? their contextualisation and staging of songs? that monologue about 'traditional values'? #brave and brilliant #musical blogging #i should have a concert tag i guess even if it's for concerts with songs from musicals only #but im too lazy/tired
