To all the people who think James “did god’s work” by bullying Snape, I hope you realise that you sound like horrible people for thinking that sexual assault, especially when it was done to a child (if you like to call 16 year old James who committed SA “a child” then I have every right to call Snape a child when he was the same age and was actually the person the SA was done to), or bullying, could ever be justified.

Snape became a Death Eater after they graduated, so you can’t use that as an excuse. And do people not realise that a poor, half-blood Slytherin being bullied by rich popular Gryffindors would only drive him further away from the light side?

And no matter how awful you think teen!Snape might’ve been—that would still never, ever justify James’s actions in SWM. You do not have to be perfect to be a victim, you don’t even have to be a good person to be a victim. Not being an innocent saint does nothing to erase being bullied or assaulted, and the fact that Snape antis have continuously twisted the narrative in order to try and make Snape look like the bad guy when he was canonically the one who was bullied, harassed, and nearly killed, is just revolting.

Using logic like “he deserved it,” “it’s his fault for not wearing trousers,” “it’s his fault for being a curious teenager,” “he did other bad things so that makes it okay,” etc, makes you sound almost as shitty as James and Sirius. You aren’t fictional characters, your words and actions hold power, and you should understand that claims like that are the very things that awful people have said to try and disregard real-life victims.

Bullying should never be glorified, no matter who it’s done to or done by. Period.

#anti snaters #severus snape #pro snape #honestly it’s so ridiculous how most of this is just common sense #y’all say that snape fans glorify/romanticise snape bullying his students #and yet ​i’ve never seen a single snape fan say anything like that in regard to what severus did to harry and co #pro severus snape #snape #harry potter #hp #anti marauder stans

You can fight anyone no consequences, who and why?

My biggest bully for 4 years during grade school. That person caused a lot of long lasting trauma for me and she's one of the only people I legitimately despise.

This was a teacher, btw.

Can you elaborate on that point (I agree btw) that female characters are disliked when they are sweet?

I feel like it's such a nuanced problem, but ESPECIALLY in the superhero medium.

I can't explain how intolerable people are to women when they're being snarky.

We can't really be the first ones in the room who can make a mean joke, or God forbid, simply have moments when we act like assholes. Which is one of the default human settings.

And I'm not trying to absorb consequence from assholeish behavior, either! Being mean doesn't make someone interesting, or funny, or slightly more unique than the next mean person.

Not if it's hallow meanness and that's their whole trait.

But with women? Being mean is, majorly to men, the worst thing you can possibly be. Being sweet and docile is what was expected of us. What was demanded of us, really.

And I feel like making our female characters, and making OURSELVES into the meanest version we can possibly be, started out as a sign of defiance. And defiance will never, ever, EVER be a bad thing.

But to me? The moment you villainize sweetness and kindness is the moment it becomes an issue. There's a very specific kind of hatred rooted in despising kindness within female characters.

" She's not interesting" " she's a dormant " " she's weak"

And then you look at that female character, and realize there's a complexity to her that no one wants to explore because she's " not mean enough."

It's especially jarring to me when we label a female character as weak simply for not...Acting like an asshole. There's also the misconception that the more brutal a female character gets, the more interesting she is.

I don't think that. If there's no foundation, there's nothing to build. You didn't make her interesting. You just made her violent.

Take Starfire for example. Bullied by her sister her whole life. Used as a political pawn by said sister who sold her into slavery. Home planet destroyed. Lost her family.

And what does she do with that? She chooses to stay kind.

Holy shit. Holy shit. The amount of strength it takes to protect your humanity. The amount of strength it takes to refuse to have your faith shaken. And she's powerful as fuck.

It's not only because she's a woman, but because we associate hardening yourself and abandoning kindness and warmth as strength. We associate brutality with power.

Is it a golden standard to expect from individuals with trauma? Of course not.

But it's also not an impossible standard to meet. Being sweet and decent isn't a golden goal. It's literally just the bear minimum.

I'll give Bruce as an example next. He deals with trauma in an unhealthy manner. He's violent. He's aggressive. He's judgemental. He's paranoid. He doesn't trust anyone.

And he's unbelievably kind.

He's literally DC's most compassionate character.

The world wanted him to be a hardened, pain fueled abuser who practices cruelty. And he told it no.

To me at least, that's always, always, ALWAYS going to be more meaningful and powerful than just creating another superpowered asshole.

Before you write superheroes, write people first.

#asks #meta #dc #dc meta #text #female characters #dc comics #i just think people glorify cruelty tbh #and especially ppl who are like ' we need more ruthless female characters who don't care abt anyone and anything' #like. i can tell you haven't been bullied by girls before lol #starfire #koriand'r #bruce wayne #bc he also fits

"This post makes a great blocklist" has done awful things to my psyche. Why do I keep wasting what builds up to hours of my time reading all of this dumb shit just to block people?? It's block and move on, not black and move and block and move and block and move and-

i came home, panicked about one thing, and my toilet was leaking. bathroom floor is covered in water and brown particles. oddly, this has not improved my mood

#i just want to be a child again. i understand being a child was also miserable I am not glorifying my childhood #i was in pain and sad and lonely #BUT I WAS SAFE AND CARED FOR AND I NEVER QUESTIONED THAT no matter how much pain I was in #what I wouldn’t give for everything to hurt because I was so overstimulated by school and being bullied #being a kid had such clear cause and effect. being an adult is just…I am guilty and I want to cry everytime I think about the fact that I’m #here. i miss something that never existed and I’m the only one who is trying to remember a person who never existed but is important to me #(cause it’s me—I’m the only one who cares about preserving my childhood. my parents don’t give a damn. they were so busy surviving they #don’t remember it or care either) #why the fuck am I getting emails about a pizza party we didn’t ask for were an actual club now we don’t need your planned events fuck off #the way I was about to brag about our club name by just name dropping my school which would then make it so easy to find me holy shit my #internet safety is getting lax 🙈 #boom’s bad days #omg I just got reccommended ‘boom blogs high’ what if I got high I would feel so much better #i keep just coping sober cause like. not relying on substances. but I don’t actually have skills rn to improve my issues so like. substances #are more helpful tbh 🙈

[elegantkittycat]

i'm watching never let me go and i actually like it and i just checked it on mdl and no one likes it in the comments? and i wonder

i mean, nevermind, to each their own but like, i saw some ppl bringing up palm, and i dunno, guess him not being all teary-eyed over his mother's death and such and i'm like. that's trauma for you. it has like, a million faces. and what, he's known that woman for a month or so? i'm not saying that to sound heartless, but it's a complicated relationship. she's never been there for him, and this time is not by choice either. of course she grew to like him, love him even, but that's a product of circumstance rather than intent, too. she would've been perfectly fine living all of her life without his son. and said son knows that. how painful that must be? it's complicated and i think it was carefully written and well-executed. Palm practically mourns a barely stranger. from his heart and from duty at the same time. a concept and a friend more, than a mother.

anyway,

the day my dad died, and after i was told through the phone i wrote a badass assignment in constitutional law. the best i ever did. i loved him dearly, don't misunderstand. his death destroyed my life and ruined practically everything in it. but you know, even after one year of it happening i don't think i had a grasp on reality much. i may even have joked some. trauma is weird as hell and Palm's reactions, his clinical attitude, his fits of depression and rage and then denial and his clinging to Nueng above anything else all rings relatable to me from my own traumas. but maybe i'm just a shitty human, who knows.

[and really this is just a side-note but Palm seems to be a guy who makes peace with bad facts of life and hardships thrown at him in a minute. he seems to accept the inevitability of suffering, of death, of lows and highs pretty easily and without much fanfare. i got a vibe from his character that he's like a deep, peaceful lake amidst the mountains. just there, calmly existing with everything. sure, when things ripple him badly he's ready to drown the offenders but it's not very personal. except in the case of Nueng.]

another one people seem to go on about, that Palm is a shitty bodyguard. i mean, yeah, really?? the whole point of the series is that he isn't a fucking bodyguard, he's just a boy who was dragged into this and fell in love, unfortunately. XD or is it just me who thinks that? i mean they point it out multiple times but idk. his dad was quite effective i think, for those what, seventeen years he protected Pipop but Palm is just a fisherboy. it is repeated like mantra throughout the show. in school they gossip about him being the son of the bodyguard forced to be around Nueng. which he technically is. Mrs. Tanya is using them both. Uncle Non's subservience and his willing sacrifices and his offering of a son Nueng's age. it's not a malicious abuse of power - it's subtle and seems justified and we're all so brainwashed alongside Uncle Non that we collectively forgot that that's a bad thing – wealthy people using us to their pleasure and convenience.... this show makes very strong points, (it seems way too subtly) imo.... and there's this strong implication in the first ep too, that Palm mostly grew up alone. he learned hard shit but his father was busy being an actual bodyguard in Bangkok, and he couldn't exactly teach his son that at the same time in some faraway village he grew up in... he must've been an absent father. of course Palm's terrible, it's a wonder he grew up to be this respectful and decent at all XD

also i'm not saying that Phuwin's and Pond's acting is the best I've seen but I don't know, tastes really do seem to differ cause i'm so uncomfortable with Chimon's acting (or presence, it's unclear at this point) omg. everyone has the hots for him and i'm just sitting here deeply uncomfortable. that's just a personal thing i guess but when i looked at his character first in this series (i never watched anything with him in it before) i thought he was fishy. and i just can't seem to shake that off. at first i thought it was the character but as it turned out he's a good guy. XD he gives me the creeps tho. idk, sorry man, i'm sure you're nice. maybe too nice. i can't believe a word he says. i'm so sorry.

oh but Perth is flawless. his is an outstanding performance and i'd love to see more of that but man if they really gonna have a series with Chimon i have to man up...

oh, and the Chopper's dad issue is a funny one too XD like, "the villain is so simple and his motivation is just money and he only talks and could've killed his sister-in-law a thousand times" etc...... i thought that was the whole point? like i seem to misunderstand everything here, but i truly genuinely thought that the villain being simple, kinda dumb and well, villain-y in a bad sorta way is intentionally disillusioned? that's why we know it's him from the get-go?! this is not supposed to be a mystery genius, this is to make us feel terrible and uncomfortable and uneasy, because that's the healthy real-life reaction to fucking criminals!? who murder their own family, no less. (i can't believe i'm saying this, being the biggest dark lord apologist in history but come on, this is not that type of fiction T_T ) he's like that because criminals are that simple sometimes?? they are big mouthed bullies sometimes? there is a reason he wasn't high up in the hierarchy and his brother looked down on him and never allowed him to manage big things?? because he's unstable, he's all talk, he's hateful, pitiful and a little dumb?? and that's a villain for you? also you wouldn't believe the LENGTHS simple people are willing to go for money... money is never an unworthy motivation, it's one of the single most important ones for criminals, business owners, bankers, bakers, kids, adults, actors and actresses', doctors, writers, your fave youtubers, moms, dads, uncles, mob bosess... you get the picture. duh.

(for me Uncle Kit's character was actually nice after the endless romanticization of criminals ~ i'm not looking at you kinn/porsche, i love you {kinda} but I'M SIDE-EYEING YOU. WTF WAS THAT AND WHY??!? SO FUCKING SICK AND TWISTED AND SORRY GIRLS but criminals are not all sweaty-sexy misunderstood and miseducated and mentally whacky and forced by their daddies but still somehow genius Vegas'?????? whatever the plural of this name is, i'm making grammar up as i go, sorry, rant over, i love you Vegas BUT WTF ~ )

all in all, i'm vibing to something entirely different than the rest. as per usual, i guess.

i especially loved Palm's mother and the difficult to swallow life lessons packed up in there. motherhood, self-love, selfishness, children, responsibilities, desires, duty, suffocation in a loving relationship, personal freedom... that was a good one. never seen that before in a thai bl either. you either have the devoted parent or the angry not so agreeable but ultimately i-love-you-and-i'm-here-for-you parent. but an absent parent by choice....... i felt like she was brilliant.

and i love Nueng's mother too. the very little we've seen of her is amazing. strong, no-nonsense but with a heart. devoted to her family, ready to kill for them but ultimately she's the one who gets almost killed. she seems the complete opposite of Palm's mother but not at the same time and i'm here for it, okay? i'm in love with that.

also i gotta admit that i haven't watched ep.11 yet but i just cracked up a little and this rant felt good to let out. sorry not sorry

and i would like to emphasize it: this post does not have an agenda to convince you to love a series that you don't enjoy or anything. we are all allowed to feel differently about everything under the sun (and above it and beyond). this is just my singular experience with a piece of media, wich provoked strong feelings and made me think about many aspects of humanity.

#i'm living for controversial opninions #in an era where debate is not even there anymore #all we have is cancel-culture #whatever the hell that means #besides the lack of intelligence sense and a willingness to let others live #it's a glorified word for cyber-bullying #isn't it #never let me go #never let me go the series #pond phuwin #i'm enjoying this #but the comments on mdl made me feel bad about that #so i had to reassure myself in a rant #hardly anyone would see #and now i actually do feel better #that's all that matters #thai bl #thai drama #thai series #i'm in way too deep

This is not funny but funny. I read deuxmoi one time and it ruined my day. They contribute such nasty, immature energy to the world and it shows. End this shit♥️

#abby doesnt shut up #it’s glorified bullying #it’s like free reign to say horrible things for shock value

[davekatzdefensesquad]

You mean the friend of super terf jk Rowling called Dame Maggie Smith a “glorified extra” and bullied children in his journal, knowing he’d have it published when he died so he could have another go at them without being canceled?

I knew I had a reason to hate Alan Rickman, but I could never put my finger on why. I thought it was just childhood trauma from having an abusive teacher, but no, Alan himself was also trash. I called it!

And he didn’t say he felt like HE was a glorified extra. He straight up said the other adult actors were that and he was the exception. He belonged there bc jkr and him were buddies.

my 12 year old niece said that they don't allow kids to speak about Putin, Hitler, or Kim Jong Un at school. If this is true, this is limiting free speech (they are kids and they need more limits, but this just doesn't make sense).

simply speaking about something doesn't mean glorifying it! Kids shouldn't have whole subjects cut out of discussion -- that's not how you learn to find the truth.

#free speech #school #is it true? in others #putin #i doubt most people who would mention them would glorify them... #we need to have free discussion #cut down on violent or bullying language #but #careful not to unduly suppress kids #at 7th grade they are learning about the wider world #should learn citizenship which also means #never blindly following authority #i think Jocie is very smart about things #she thinks for herself in all things :) #she also thinks about the world and she's good with language #also with math.... #also sports.... #also art

Gatekeepers of the romance genre are more upset that books with a sad ending will fall under that category, instead of being upset that the genre is being filled with toxic relationships labeled and celebrated as romance.

#you don't consider books with sad endings as legitimate romance books #but you eat up books that glorify abuse #where the main character basically ends up with a person who should be in jail or in therapy #girl bye #'only HEA and HFN count as romance' stfu #but somehow 'bully romance' 'mafia romace' & 'teacher-student' romace are legit sub-genres #you're clowns #scorpion-flower #book #books #booktok #book recommendations #bookaholic #bookblr #book blog #books and reading #romance #romance tropes #romance reader #we were the kings and the queues

I fucking hate it how much labor is deified even in leftist circles that have long dropped notions connected to it such as wealth and/or success being inherently desirable and morally good qualities.

I completely understand where it comes from, and I don't intend to piss on decades of theory re: how class struggle is often tied to labor, because it certainly is. It's just kind of alienating as a disabled person that, if given the choice, would never choose to work because of the negative effect it has on my psyche.

#deerbleats #the same vocabulary used to glorify wealth is often retooled to deify labor #it's alienating as a pretty much chronically exhausted person who's struggling even with her current 20h workweek y'know? #my country is still on 45h weeks legally so a lot of activism centers on bringing it down to 40 #which is good and necessary but it's hard to participate as someone who'd still be wrecked by that y'know? #finding community is hard and scary #anarchist activists are so cool and brave and motivated and I can't do jack shit #and I have been violently bullied out of purportedly socialist circles because of way smaller privileges than working half as much as them
