#i just dont understand how you can say shit like this about someone

[fagrights]

yknow i already hate my extended family pretty considerably but those relationships became completely null and void when they decided things about my parents that are just so untrue and demonstrably false that its apparent they are just living in a fantasy world at this point.

#theyre rich they can move out whenever they want. they have it so easy and are just mooching off of our mom < are you insane #YOU KNOW WHY WE STARTED LIVING HERE IN THE FIRST PLCAE. #i think its so funny they coudl even say shit like were rich when 1 see above and 2 my mom hasnt been able to work for 3 yrs #and at the beginning of this year my dad got so sick he didnt have a paycheck for 3 months #i think these people have it in their heads that my grandmother pays all the bills and the groceries and like everything #which just is UNTRUE #like weve barely been able to buy groceries sometimes but these people can go on vacations 3 times a year. but yeah ok .. ok #i just dont understand how you can say shit like this about someone

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways #There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse. #I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something #There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others #or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all #or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost #$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap.

i f. i fucking forgot a pencil so i cant scribble out this Thought i had while on a lil road trip today - basically i was thinkin about Wally, as ya do, and i asked myself why does Wally eat with his eyes? its such a Fascinating yet somewhat Out Of Place choice for him. how did Clown come up with that? its so unique. it stands tf out.

and then i remembered Frank & Poppy's convo for their 'bug' audio, and how he says "you eat with your eyes first" and like... thats a real phrase. ive heard it in my life. & it set off lil alarm bells in my head the first time i listened to the clip, i just hadnt connected the dots yet. so its feasible that thats why Wally eats the way that he does - and an in-universe explanation could be that Wally heard the phrase before he could learn how to eat 'properly', and took it literally

essentially:

Frank: you eat with your eyes!

Wally: *rdj meme format* you eat with your eyes

#also dont have wifi so i cant type out my musings on my laptop #and typing on my phone kinda Hurts #so! this is a note to myself to Talk About This and Scribble a silly thing Later! #in a couple of days! #no wonder he only eats when no one is looking.... #they all eat Normally but hes over there like 'oh shit oh fuck i dont know how to do that. uhhhhhhh' #i imagine he heard it and immediately internalized it forever #core memory. this action will have consequences. new skill unlocked. this cannot be undone. #wally just casually fucking with the laws of reality.... good for him! good for him #i mean why not! #its not like he knows what reality is! or the laws of physics! he doesnt have to obey what he doesnt understand! #someone says You Can Do This and hey. look at that. he can! #and wow this beef jerky im eating tastes like chemicals. #absolutely unprompted #homebogging #welcome home speculation #wh speculation #I HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THIS.

having issues with men, the associations the instant distrust, which i dont like i dont want it i want things to be different, just all of it so much just the dynamic i have the relationship all of it the way the world is atleast online and having a younger brother. I wouldn't trade him for the world, I try and talk to him where I can and will continue to do so i adore him but i fear. i believe in him i want joy for him. I fear that his peers will feed him fckn brainrot and it scares me. not even just that he'll fall into that thinking that his fuckn upstanding that his unwillingness to follow ppl will hurt him. crazy shit at schools, like why tf r ppl dying kids young teens killing eaachother with knives? ??I don't want to loose him i don't want to see him loose who he is and the heart that he has i don't and i hope he rises above it all and will continue to. i feel like im stating what he has to be or smth but all i could ask for is his wellbeing, respect, humanity, that he treats himself well know what he deserves and has some sense of self, some gravity. I feel like shit sometimes for this aspect that i'm concerned that i just idk, i dont like the whole 'dont disappoint me' thing he owes nothing to me other than basic human decency and respect, hes a reason why i live but to i just that intrusive thought of there is no different the hell u think of is real about men to someone i hold so fckn dear to in a way show me their fckn fuckery its idk, like another? it'd hurt me, it'd hurt me bad.

i've never understood men or boys, amab, who go on about their connection or like protectiveness of their sisters of their mother but treat other women like shit like their familiars aren't women? you don't want to fuck them so its different? what is it like just whats the difference why does it have to pertain to you for you to care? do you care or do you see them as an extension? is it a personality trait for you? a 'lover boy' thing? a signal to women, women u imagine u want and is going to be 'ur woman' but u cant even like visualize them in a way that doesnt pertain to your sexual interests? a signal so people can say oh he loves his mother so hes good to go and prime? a 'mummys boy' ? are they not real women just because u dont feel that sort of way? talking about women that way with your friends? do i have to bring up the fact those same people could date your sister etc for you to care? those people could make the kids that surround your kids, your daughter. idk.

its like okay u want sex so u respect them less? did no one hear dont bite the hand that feeds you? what the fuck is going on. you cant fuck them so its all good? the demeaning-ness? lack of gravity, venom is just rapid, vapid

He won't leave my fucking friends alone.

#tales from diana #sorry this is about that bad friend i have to break up w that ive posted abt on and off the past couple weeks/months maybe #i still have to send him that final 'i dont wanna speak to you ever again' #ive been fucking busy ok. my summer has been full of family events and obligations #i have one brother getting married and the other having a baby!!! i have a LIFE and SHIT TO DO and PPL TO BE THERE FOR other than YOU!!! #i havent spoken to him in over 2 months too and he knows it's bc i don't want to #he's so difficult bc you can't fucking tell him the truth. you can't!!! he can't handle it!!! do you know how hard it is to handle??? #the things i have to do to cut him off. because he doesn't respect normal fucking boundaries. make ME feel like im in the wrong #like im the shady person and the liar. #i can't drift from him bc hell pull me back #i can't communicate w him bc he won't hear anything i have to say he'll just turn it around & make it abt himself. #he literally does not understand ppl having motivations to do things that don't relate to him #and he has no sympathy for what he does to other ppl. nothing but self-pity for how they don't like him anymore. #if he dealt w someone who put him through half of what he put ME through. no he couldn't actually. #i only allowed him to manipulate me for so long because i cared abt him. who i thought he was. #and he just point blank period doesn't care about other ppl. so he could never go through what ive gone through w him. #i feel like all this friend breakup has proven to me is that im actually a good person and it can be used against me by ppl who arent #some fucking lesson i needed to learn huh? #i hate feeling as negatively towards anyone as i do towards him. it's so hard for me not to have at least #a little spark of hope deep down for everyone. even ppl ive removed from my life before. i dont HATE them #theyve disappointed me or insulted me or mistreated me but at least their motivations seemed simple and clear #and MOST of them seemed to understand SOMEWHAT that they were in the wrong #even if they don't admit it to me or still find an excuse to hate me. whatever #i can see them as ppl who might feel remorse someday and grow from it #i do not see it in this guy. bc if you have a problem w him he'll only make it 20 times worse. #he's so selfish it genuinely baffles me to think about it. and he's one of the least honest ppl ive ever known. #he'll never see the error of his ways. i do not believe he has that capacity. #and will i say none of this to him? no #im just going to say thanks for leaving me alone these past couple months. it's been good for me. #i don't think i can continue our friendship anymore for my own sake.

Girl like. The reason he said "this is how it should be" and faced death with a smile....is cuz he wanted to die. For 2 years he sat there thinking he was worthless and deserved to die. If he hadn’t be shot, his death would’ve been suicide, he was fully planning to die in a gutter somewhere undetected. When saying "this is how it should be" hes literally saying "don’t cry because I’m dying, my death is a good thing actually because I fucking suck and you are better off without me". I don’t think that’s badass even slightly, it’s actually really sad and really shitty. Shinjiro is so convinced that he deserves to die and hates the idea of anyone giving a shit about him because he literally can’t wrap his mind around the idea that he will be missed when he’s gone, that his death is a bad thing actually. And his last words were meant to be comforting because he fully did not intend for anyone to be there when he died, he intended to die alone, so he says them as a reminder that he’s not worth crying over

Personally, if it were me, if I was holding my dying best friend in my arms who was deeply depressed and suicidal and he said "this is how it should be" uh. I wouldn’t admire him for it??? Like am I losing my mind when I say the way this game handles Shinji is bad or is anyone else seeing this too 😰

#its like okay listen i understand the basic math of any persona game they say things and everything they say is actually #very bad when you think about it for more than 3 seconds #like what theyre intending to do with the death of this character is be like oh no your sad friend dies tragically thats so saddddd #but that doesnt mean you cant live a wonderful life full of meaning you cant let grief consume you life is beautiful awagga #and i guess shinji is a specific character whos used cuz i guess its more tragic that he never realized he was worthy of life and shit #and i guess its also like ‘dont be like this guy who let grief consume him and then died you gotta Be Different’ #which i dont. love. that last part cuz if you think about shinji and what led him down this road #its like. of course hes depressed! he accidentally killed a woman with a child when he was 16! #he himself is an orphan and he just made some other kid an orphan as well and it happened cuz his persona went out of control #which very much can translate to ‘this must mean im dangerous and can hurt everyone if im not kept under control’ #so of course he isolated himself and believed he was evil and became suicidal like who wouldnt feel that way #like am i supposed to be mad he left sees and took drugs cuz uh while i dont think isolation or Evil Drug is good for his mental health #i dont think him continuing to fight in sees is something he can just easily do again given how he killed someone like he shouldnt have to #be a part of this thing anymore like how would he even safely get castor to not do that??? he cant kill more people on accident! #so yeah like using shinji as an example of bad coping mechanisms is already just. a big fucking oof to me like it just feels like the game #is saying he shouldve gotten over it and simply not be suicidal and stayed on the team. idk if thats the intent but uh it wouldnt faze me #cuz persona games are notoriously awful at writing characters who are traumatized and abused #but what makes everything even worse is how the game kinda like. acts like shinjis death is a stepping stone #like we’re supposed to use it as a wake up call and understand the stakes but keep going on anyways #and akihiko and Ken get. ‘great character development’ according to the game telling you they have now developed #but damn all akihiko is is just repressed he cries for 3 seconds and then is like I SHOULD MAN UP and then neglects a depressed child #shinjis dying words are words to live by now even though they piss me the fuck off like girl am i crazy HES FUCKING #HES TELLING ME NOT TO CRY OVER HIM BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE DEAD ACTUALLY AND THIS IS A GOOD THING ACTUALLY #like if the game wants us to still find meaning in life despite losing someone it just really hurts that shinji has to die for that to work #apparently. cuz the character i see myself in is shinji. not some perfect prettyboy who does everything perfectly and has 4 gfs #his death seems like a punishment for bad behavior. the bad behavior being of course depression and drug use. and im simply supposed to be #better than that if i want to live. and we dont get to form a connection with him cuz thats gayyyyy #and his death is like a NOBLE HEROIC SACRIFICE idk its just such bullshit to me i hate it so bad #how is killing a suicidal guy and then treating it as admirable that he said ‘this is how it should be’ supposed to make me feel #makes me feel sick personally and it ruins the entire game’s theme to me because its fucking shallow and the story is bad and im tired

im not a even a fan of the "hellaverse" but i have seen helluva boss and with all the twitter uproar over the hazbin ep4 leaks i went and found a reaction video of the full ep on yt so i could see how bad it really was and. jesus christ. theres certainly analysis of the visuals that could be had regarding the original criticisms but for me the episode was more like... 1. angel dust is the exact same character as fizzarolli 2. hellaverse is never going to break away from writing its characters like a whump fic is it and 3. this is an absolutely horrible portrayal of sex workers. vivienne pleaseeeee get your head out of the yaoi bin and remind yourself of like. women and misogyny. and stop writing all your sex worker/sexually abused (notice how that is grouped together) characters in the same way. sex workers arent all victims who need to be saved from their jobs

#sorry i just already had a ton of thoughts on how poorly i thought fizzarolli was written #half for the writers riding too much on whump standards and thus ignoring the glaring fundamental issues in his life #and then blaming all of his problems on being cutely insecure #but also in the like. misogyny. i get it we fandomers like yaoi but please. HOW could you look at those 2 women villains #in s2e7 and decide that was okay. that was egregious #ive just been thinking about this shit way too much and i kind of want to dump a proper analysis of it but also. sigh. #do i REALLY want to be blogging about hazbin and helluva #then again i also feel the need to say stuff because im willing to bet that anyone on YT whos making hellaverse analysis #isnt familiar with whump and like. as someone who enjoys whump i think it should be required reading for understanding how narratives like #fizzarollis are constructed #because there are very obvious tropes and character archetypes being taken directly from whump-style stuff and it is NOT good in this mediu #as much as i enjoy a bit of catharsis you cant just carry over the same stuff from it and expect your audience to suspend their disbelief i #the same way. because once you start thinking about the actual politics and personal implications of it... #well. you end up with a poorly written show with poorly written characters that inadvertently end up being misogynistic #sigh. if someone wants me to i can share my thoughts on this #i dont entirely hate the hellaverse im more ambivalent on it i guess. i did like some parts of it but as a whole its not my thing #i am someone who enjoys thinking about this stuff and doing some casual textual analysis though #so i cant help thinking about this stuff when watching or reading anything

if words are not enough to get a manipulative person to leave you tf alone and hit the road, wtf are ya supposed to do? maybe throw a small toy at them to send a message

Us talking to our councillor about this newly discovered alter: his job is to help us process this negative emotion and protect us, and sometimes he goes too far and either we get hurt or other people get hurt, but he doesn't mean to, and we cant do this without him

Our councillor: so how do you control him? How do you restrain him? Can you get rid of him? Can you make him stop?

Us:........WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

#the negative emotion in question is anger so this is technically me getting defensive over myself but the anger isnt just mine yknow? #i think we messed up a bit talking to her about me #shes been pretty understanding of the plural thing but shes not TRAINED in this. if she has experience with it its not much #because that shit is kinda......super messed up? #her first question was literally 'how can you control him' like im fuckin evil or something #good to know that we cant talk to her about the actually complex parts of being plural #good to know we figured that out through me. all im gonna do is get pissed #imagine if it was someone who would actually be seriously hurt by something like that #not saying im not but i know shes in the wrong for it and im pissed about it #anyway im pretty sure whoever was fronting for that appointment handled it pretty well #they didnt give in or let her think that just because i mess up i shouldnt be doing my job #if that was the case she might as well quit her job right there on the spot because thats hella hypocritical #one of the reasons i was discovered was literally because we were so pissed at her (and some other things going on) #that i took front and started lashing out #(she messed up pretty bad but unfortunately its been forgotten instead of forgiven so now i dont know why im mad)

it feels like im reading against the intended tone of the relationship and character but god. if you take dana’s actions purely at face value the kind of person it paints is like. One I have a lot of complicated feelings about. 

#like dont get me wrong miguel needs his ass kicked several ways to sunday for the cheating #but man. is there something to be read in someone who #finds a scaple and digs DEEP when she wants to hurt someone. like hanging out with Stone - KNOWING he drugged miguel - because she wants to #needle him about not spending time with her. kissing gabriel while saying not to let the past affect his relationship w his brother now #LIKE. on one hand i can just chalk this up to shitty misogynistic 90s writing and theres absolutely an element to that #but on the other hand im like how do you fuck up interiority on this woman specifically SO hard if youre not going to interogate the actions #she takes or offer an insight into how this character thinks or considers others around her #when other women in this series like Xina and Conchata have really interesting and compelling dynamics and actions that you can dig at from #several difffent angles like #THROWING MY HANDS IN THE AIR! GOD! I want the writing to give a shit about how it constructs Dana and what that implies about the kind of #person she is #tunes talks critical #<- since there’s an element of me bitching shdhd #tunes talks 2099 #and like. I don’t need Dana to be a ‘good’ person! I want her to be a person that I can interpret the mindset of! and understand the way shw #views other people and herself and it just doesn’t feel like the writing gives her that grace

very hot of the kitchen staff yesterday to fuck up every single thing ever. like yesterday's shift was fucking HORRENDOUS there was zero communication between the supervisors and the chefs and the kitchen was just super understaffed and my boss had me MANAGING the food pass (like yes im very capable and good at my job and hot and sexy and have spent so so so many gruelling hours working the pass that i can do it in my sleep but i am still NEW) with the only other person on it to help me being some 17 year old boy who has NEVER had a job before and it was his first shift (like he was nice and i dont begrudge it him bc we all start somewhere and god knows my first job i was a terrible worker but still he had no initiative for anything to do with the catering industry and it was a Very Bad Day to have a first shift). so the thing with the food pass is that the waiting staff are in their own sections right and they'll take the food orders and deal with the customers, BUT if you're on pass then you're the one who gives the customer their food, so despite not being the one to take the order or being the one to make the order, any complaints go directly to you and it's just super shitty bc you're like my brother in christ i have no idea what you're talking about. like a mistake in the order either comes from the waitress writing it down/sending it out wrong OR the kitchen making it wrong, neither of which i had any control over yet the staff on pass are the ones who get the brunt of it. like i had a good 20 orders come back bc the kitchen kept sending them out cold or making them wrong and complaints either went to me OR the kid who would then - naturally, again no hate to him - bring them to me and either way it was very much My Problem and i have never been closer to smacking a customer in my LIFE

#this one lady's food was cold and she wanted it sent back #and the annoying part of all of this is that i immediately want to hate on the customer for making my life difficult #but they were honestly in the right like where i work is super expensive you want to get your money's worth when you go #BUT THEN when i did the usual 'im so sorry ill have the chef remake it for you can i get you anything on the house in the meantime' shit #she just really dramatically put her cutlery down like 'no i think we'll cancel the entire order and go somewhere else >:(' like HUH #and it was so frustrating bc her bloke was reasonably nice like he kept acknowledging that it obviously wasnt my fault #but they still dont seem to realise that being angry and shitty with me even if it's not directed at me #while simultaneously three other tables are doing the same thing on a ten hour shift #is really fucking draining #like i KNOW it's not my fault but no matter how many times you're saying that #i still have to fix this bc your bitch of a wife is having a hissy fit over a sodding beef sandwich #and this one lady complained about her lamb and wanted the entire thing redone #and in the meantime my manager told me to get her a free drink on the house #so i offered and she - with the tone of someone doing ME a favour - was like 'oh just knock the bottle of prosecco off our bill' #LIKE WHAT? you cheeky fucking bitch i offered you ONE drink bc you're fannying about with your food #and you want me to knock off the £20 bottle of prosecco? piss off #like i need u guys to understand that when shit hits the fan in a restaurant it is almost ALWAYS either kitchen or management #who have fucked things up. but who is on the front lines? the waiting staff #and customers apparently dont have the thinking skills to realise that the teenage girls they're releasing their frustrations onto #actually aren't responsible for their meal #BUT there was a silver lining bc while kitchen and management stabbed each other the waiting staff really pulled together #like it was a real solidarity moment and made me really feel part of the team which is always nice when ur still Anxious and New #and one of the managers literally came over to me and two other girls at the end like 'thank you for being here today we needed you' #and that was just really nice #i also felt really accomplished bc it WAS shit but i also managed the pass really well like i couldnt have done a better job #like i know shit was hitting the fan but i knew nothing i was doing was adding to it if that makes sense? #doesnt justify the fact i only had a 15 min break on a ten hour shift but still. swings and roundabouts #hella slaves to capitalism

W/ all the reactionary talk regarding trans peoples bodies and shit i would love to see repubs and tεrves reactions to all the fascinating body modifications that exist for aesthetic and fetish purposes

#Ns*fw i guess #I briefly hyperfixated on body mods some years back and the absolutely insane shit people can and will do to their body is awesome actually #Like this ranges from getting subdermal saline injections like bagelheads to splitting your junk down the middle. Who cares its your body #Ive seen several people that EXTENSIVELY altered their body for purely aesthetic purposes and years down the line never regretted it #Bc it made them feel at home with themselves or was just a very personal choice. I see literally nobody screaming about mutilation wrt this #I know the answer as to why but its ironic you never see anyone crying about someone mutilating their body bc they split their tongue #Or people who get scarification... or people who get genital piercings... or hell even people who just get tattoos #Hell even entirely medical procedures such as using your toe to replace your thumb is by technicality ''mutilation'' in these ppls eyes #''ITLL NEVER BE A REAL THUMB!!!'' No shit sherlock but it works for me. Better than not having a thumb at all lmao #Idk i dont understand how people can attack bodily autonomy and then act surprised when repubs want to strip ALL bodily autonomy #You do not have to agree to a lifestyle but you absolutely have no business dictating what one does or does not do to their bodies #Bc at the end of the day they're living in it. You are not. End of story #And statistics prove that the vast majority of people in some form modify their body; i.e. tattoos piercings & minor corrective surgeries #Can you imagine screaming at someone for getting their tonsils removed bc theyre 'perfectly healthy organs' bc they dont want tonsil stones #Bc thats what these people are saying about elective hysterectomy/vasectomy/internal birth control/gender procedures #SORRY THAT IS A LOT. I just have a lot to say about this as someone who is deeply invested in bodily rights #emf

women and femmes is like. what the fuck r u talking about lol.

like ppl will be talking about shit that effects me but postulate it as something that effects only women and femmes, two things i am not lolol

#its like even the video essay girlies i like say this kind of stuff #women and femmes or women and nonbinary #or women and femme presenting #like that doesnt mean anything what the fuck r u talking about lolol #maybeee women and people percieved as women #or sometimes people with marginalized gender identities maybe depending on the topic but like idk #its just something i still being used even by well meaning people #and it sucks when the converstions their having are important and good but like #idk idk man #women and nonbinary people is like the fucking funniest to me #but also i remmeber someone was talking about how woman and femmes would techincally include men cause men can be femme presenting #and like u know the girlies who say shit like women and femmes arent talking about men lol #idk i just think people should like think a little bit more before saying things and using words they dont understand lmao #like u wouldnt men and masc presenting people cause thats fucking stupid #masc presenting would include women whether u like it or not and masc women arent exactly treated the same as cis men #same with femme men and cis women lol #masc women and femme men are treated like shit for their mascunalnity and femininity but cis ppl do not fucking care about that #whatever anyways theres a lot you can say about htis shit but im kind of stupid and bad with words and idk waht the fuckim talking about #anymore just wanted to rant a lil #anyways its just like afun reminder people dont respect nonbinary people or people who arent what they think a man or woman should be

From a scale of 1 to "ritzy orphanage", what level of bullshit have you read today?

#speculation nation #saw in main tag an akechi take that was So fucking foul lmao #someone mad about how fandom largely likes to make goro and futaba friends bc they dont think she should have to forgive him #which like. fair. i can understand being put off by that. #but THEN. they start going off on how we dont see akechi's childhood so all we know it wasnt that bad #vs futaba's that we Did see how bad it was #& how ppl largely make it a thing with her forgiving him due to sympathy & his trauma getting more attention than hers #which i would agree with if it were just a matter of ppl belittling futaba's trauma in comparison to akechi's #but you DONT. HAVE TO SAY. HIS WASNT TRAUMATIC FOR THAT TO BE TRUE. #his mom literally KILLED HERSELF bc of shido. goro's anger at him is far more than 'daddy didnt pay enough attention to me 😢😢😢' #(direct quote there. them belittling his anger down to daddy issues. ugh.) #but the RICHEST thing is them saying that for all we know shido paid for akechi to live at a 'ritzy orphanage' like WHAT???? #say you know nothing about the japanese alternative child care system without saying you know nothing about it #listen ive been researching this shit a lot lately. japan has one of the Worst child care systems in the world. #11% foster home rate. majority of children shunted into institutions that are overcrowded and underfunded. #and get the word i used. institution. not orphanage. everything ive read about it calls these places institutions. #they literally institutionalize children. and that in and of itself is a trauma. not having adults you can learn to actually depend on #bc that is their Job. they cycle out. majority of them do care but they just cant give the child the attention they need #and fucking. 'ritzy orphanage' literally WHAT??? in what fucking world would RITZY ORPHANAGE be something that exists??? #paradoxical phrase. if a child has a parent to pay for them theyre not going to live in a fucking orphanage. what the Hell are you on #there was more to it but i honestly stopped reading i was so angry. #you dont need to belittle his trauma to say that futaba's matters. what the fuck. #and YES his revenge plot against shido is childish and poorly thought out. but thats bc he made this when he was Literally a child. #it's not just him throwing his life away on a whim bc of 'daddy issues'. what the Fuck. #anyways this person made me so mad i blocked them #for someone who claimed to love akechi u made the WORST fucking take ive seen on him in a while #absolutely fuming. 'ritzy orphanage.' thats some real bullshit #suicide ment/ #also THIS ISNT EVEN TOUCHING on the problems within the institutions #ive run out of tags so i cant go into it. im just so fuckin pissed off lmao
