#not very offensive joke

[goatsghost]

i still think it’s insanely funny that bruce comes back from the time stream and decides they’re gonna have a family movie night, while FULLY AWARE that jason is currently in arkham

like bruce i think your favoritism is showing just a lil bit here lmao

(batman and robin 2009)

#batman and robin 2009 #ggw liveblog #mine #dick grayson #bruce wayne #damian wayne #tim drake #alfred pennyworth #jason todd #to be fair it is red headed jason so i think that’s a punishable offense tbh #ok but actually being fr here #jason was being very difficult and was a minor villain for dick and damian at the time #and bruce had jason kept in arkham to protect him from the other prisoners AND protect the other prisoners FROM jason lol #i genuinely do find it funny and silly that bruce hosted a movie night with the family and did not even consider jason’s whereabouts #it’s sad when you think about it for too long but as a passing joke it’s kinda funny lol

Those who do know what I'm talking about I would like to apologize. I've taken the post down because I do realize it was in very poor taste. I never wished to come off how I did, and I realized it was not my place to step. For anyone I've offended, I'm hoping we can move forward from this as I genuinely didn't understand that what I had done was so offensive or more than a joke. I know now that it was a place I shouldn't step in and yet I did it anyway and that was very poor judgement on my part. I'm not going to do anything like that again, and I promise it was not out of any malice in my heart, but my extremely poor judgement and misunderstanding.

I realize that now it wasn't a joke and even if it was, I would have had no right to step over that boundary like I did. I've been made aware that what happened was poorly received and I'm committed to moving forward to improve from this lesson that I've learned.

I know people may resort to calling me things I'd never wish to be labeled as. All I can do is realize that I didn't make the best decision today, as every human will do. I've done what I can in removing the post and apologizing, and that's all I can do. I'm very sorry for how my careless actions affected people.

#I do realize that no matter my intentions i still made a bad decision and I admit I was wrong #Im sorry that i couldn't catch myself beforehand and that had to come onto the blog as i truly wish to remain as neutral as possible #I want to be a place where everyone can go for some relief from the world and i didn't do that this time #Id only ever seen the post in a joking sort of context and didnt realize that it was actually very offense so I'm very sorry for that

In the same vein as my Dog Thoughts post about performance foundations last night, the more I watch Sports People, the more motivated I am to distance myself from them and be done with dog sports completely.

#i had this thought while i was still actively competing #but mav was one of the top performers for his breed for his entire career and that is addictive #photographing events this summer doglessly made it sooooo clear that i dont want to associate with Sports People #no offense to those of you who are Sports People but it is so not my vibe #i have FOMO for sure but is it enough to return to that?? #(there is an argument to be made that people need to see more people having fun in the ring and keeping it light - #but i am a competitive person and honestly there were periods where i was NOT keeping it light and thats not cool) #i can see how easily i can be sucked back in #i unfollowed and blocked sooooo many people because i simple Do Not Want To See It #idk its the same vein as calling your dog bad or asshole as a 'joke' #is it actually a joke or are you harbouring resentment and justifying it as a joke? #im not sure how exactly they're similar but in my heart they are #there is a very specific flavour thats prominent in dog sports and it is not the right flavour for me #hmm im posting a lot of text posts about my thoughts in the last 24h hope this is out of my system now #back to regular queued pictures of the pubby tysm #eta: this includes confo people btw #it should be Competition People i suppose #sports are at the forefront of my brain because i was so deeply involved for years #but ive photographed enough confo shows to know that is also not the vibe

Just saying, I am completely willing to give John Finnemore all the credit for everything I like about Good Omens S2 and blame Neil Gaiman for everything that I think was a mistake

Unfair/irrational absent proof? Maybe. I don't care, gonna do it anyway.

#john finnemore #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens season 2 #good omens s2 #in fairness #if neil gaiman didn't have 150% creative control i'll eat my hat #and by his own account jf wrote and left and ng stayed involved after #it also helps that thus far the stuff i like most about s2 #are the character moments and the jokes #which are VERY jf (even ng mentioned that's why he brought him on) #and also the minisode which is 100% jf #no offense mr neilman

Salty Ask List: 1, 5, 14, 22 ?

1.What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

Dr/atc/het 100000%... I just don't understand what their chemistry is supposed to be together. It's partially ruined for me by Drift in MTMTE being an absolute mess of a character who got most of his planned plotlines cut or changed, and partially ruined by the fact Drift spends most of MTMTE straight up absent from the story, and then he and Ratchet meet up in Empire of Stone and come back during Dying of the Light and are just...together romantically now? I don't understand how they have any chemistry at all much less romantic lskdjflkds

I know a big one people talk about is "Ratchet saved Drift's life and then told him he believed in him" but... the way their meeting was written didn't come off as particularly romantic to me? Ratchet saved Drift the same way he's saved countless other addicts in the Dead End and then his parting words to Drift were to tell him to go to the Functionists so they could get him a job. Very "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" kind of advice that clearly didn't work since Drift stayed impoverished, his friend got killed by police brutality, he went into the underworld to be a hitman, etc etc. Like yeah in theory it's very romantic for an OTP's first meeting to be one of them saving the other's life and treating the impoverished person kindly for possibly the first time in their life. It's just that that moment in canon doesn't have romantic vibes to me at all, it's just a doctor-patient encounter in which Ratchet is nice to Drift like he's nice to everyone, except it's also kind of condescending/ignorant bc Ratchet basically tells Drift "oh just get a job and get clean and you'll be fine" as if it's that easy to stop being a homeless/jobless drug addict?? If an ER doctor did that shit to me I'd be more likely to see him as an asshole than to admire or like him at all sdklfjsd.

Then Drift was a Decepticon for millions of years, then he joined the Autobots on Earth and like... he and Ratchet sure existed on the same team together dlkfjldsjlkds there were zero interactions of worth b/t them in phase 1, their ship dynamic came entirely from JRO's writing and even then I feel like it's an informed romance more than an organic and believable one.

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

I actually used to like O/Pli/ta when I first came here, but as I stayed longer it became evident that the overwhelming majority of the fan content of it reeks of "we are very sorry for having a heterosexual ship, let us compensate for it by making the woman a Girlboss Xtreme and the man a weak simp so that you can be sure the woman isn't being Oppressed and Stereotyped by being in a heterosexual romantic relationship" which is one of my most detested types of fan content, so now I have the ship tag blocked sldkfjlsdkdskl. Literally it's just the same "the woman is a TOTALLY COMPETENT AND COOL ACTION HERO and her man is a TOTAL SIMP FOR HER" that's interchangeable with most het ships in other fandoms, where there's no actual personality or chemistry for them and instead it's just the same Fandom Approved Heterosexual Relationship Dynamic.

That and a significant amount of content I see for it is just like blatantly ripped off from Me/go/p dslkfjsdfsjl or like, taking the main MOP dynamic and just swapping OP and Elita's places so now Elita is the cool action hero who's rival to Megatron and OP just Exists as an emotional support husband I guess. Or like Elita is made into a daring action hero while Optimus is reduced to a meek little wallflower who's no one of any real importance and just follows in her wake. It reeks of insecurity and unoriginality, as if the fanbase is cripplingly aware that Elita was made to be the Token Girlfriend and instead of just making her a better character and making the romance she's a part of more equal and compelling for both characters, they have to violently overcompensate by having Elita steal OP's role and everything interesting about him. 😂Like I'm begging people to just be normal about hetero ships. You can ship a man and a woman together without having to diminish the man and girlbossify the woman to prove you're a Real Feminist.

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

Continuity soup is boring and for the most parts creates purely fanon plots/ideas/characterizations that have tenuous relationships to actual canon. It's nice that people have the creativity to make their own AUs, but I also want to read about the actual continuity in question and not someone's mishmash of it.

Like UGH when I read a fic tagged IDW1 I want to see cop Orion not archivist or dockworker Orion. When I read a fic tagged IDW1 I want to read about the Senate led by Proteus and the reigns of Nova/Nominus/Sentinel/Zeta, not about the Council from TFP. When I read a fic tagged IDW1 MegOP I want Orion being a simp for Megatron after reading his stuff/meeting him one (1) time sdkflsdkf not yet another iteration of the tired "one day an archivist and a gladiator became great friends! then they broke up."

It's not hate for other continuities, I'm just tired of the fact that continuity soup is so prevalent that even when I'm specifically filtering for content of the one continuity I want to read about, the fics I find keep having random shit from other continuities interjected into it. I think each continuity has really interesting takes on lore that have potential to be wholly unique for each one, so it's really frustrating when the average fic I can find is just a random mishmash of continuity elements, or more often than not just an IDW knockoff taking place in a separate continuity. Like guys, I'm an IDW stan myself, but wouldn't it be cool if we got more fics that explored ideas that only happen in G1, or only happen in Animated, or Aligned, etc?

Doesn't help that when I AM looking specifically for IDW stuff, most of the content I look at (MOP) does continuity soup for the sake of replacing IDW OP with some sort of aligned/g1 lite OP which makes me salty as hell

22. Popular character you hate?

Drift for sure sdklfsdlk. I mean when I first read about him in the comics (the Drift miniseries) I was like, he's fine I guess he's an action hero whatever. But then literally the more of the comics I read the more his personality and story were just incredibly corny, stereotypical, or boring as hell no matter what writer was controlling him. And he got bounced around between writers a lot, and then even the "main author" people know Drift from (JRO) kept changing his plans for what Drift was supposed to be (and cutting plots related to him) so any hints towards a storyline went nowhere. And then Drift spent basically all of MTMTE gone elsewhere on some exile-adventure, and then during LL he just kind of. Is there, existing.

So like, honestly Drift is a victim of getting bounced back and forth and having his writing changed so often he doesn't reach his full potential, which isn't really "his fault" as a character. It just so happens that I also think the bits of his character that exist are either boring or overhyped or in one case (portrayal of his religion/religious worldbuilding in general) outright offensive. He's basically written like some hippie stereotype with vaguely Asian/Japanese flavoring (the extent of which is basically his name + fighting style) and then he barely like... does anything in the plot? I think he's supposed to be like, ~mysterious and shifty~ but then all of the plotlines that involved him being a secret traitor got cut, so Drift basically just became Weirdly Suspicious For No Reason and his genuine personality/motivations felt indistinguishable from what he was faking and what plots got cut from him. Absolute mess of a character that got almost no payoff for any of the things planned for him, and all that's left is some kooky hippie personality of "hee hoo I believe in auras and mystical vibes and magical colors, also I'm dating an atheist who's openly dismissive of most of my religious beliefs (that I do or don't actually believe in depending on what part of the story I'm in) and this somehow doesn't get in the way of our personal/romantic chemistry

But then the fanbase are basically making him some kind of Gary Stue, obsessed with making headcanons like "Deadlock wrote/edited Megatron's speeches for him too!" and "Drift defected from the Decepticons to try and make a point to Megatron!" and generally trying to make him the Decepticons' Specialest Boy Ever and it's just. Ugh I get that he was under-written in canon, but every bit of fanon I've encountered doesn't make him interesting either. They just kind of make Drift the center of the world where he's actually the coolest, most talented and interesting person ever where other characters owe their accomplishments partially to his influence and I'm just. I don't get it, I don't understand the appeal of fanon and I don't even understand the appeal of canon either. I think part of it is for representation reasons (e.g. Asian, lower class, former drug addict) and it's nice that people can pull something meaningful out of the mess that is canon. It's just for me, canon Drift is so mediocre I don't get why anyone would even WANT him as representation sdlkfjsdlkf. I guess fixing what the writers failed to explore the potential of is an understandable motivation though.

#squiggle answers #long post #as far as asian coded tf characters go cyc and WB have mountains more character and meaningful plot imo #plus their depictions of religiousness are way less offensive and actually play more importantly into their characters #like idk am i the only one who thinks most of JRO's worldbuilding re: religion is an absolute joke #it's a combination of multiple antagonists who are religious zealots (not offensive on its own though) #plus very shallowly explored religious beliefs that mainly come up for plot reasons #plus a lot of the religious beliefs that DO come up are like incredibly unimaginative and boring and stereotypical #plus the plot basically being a deconstruction of the entire religion like. sike all of the ppl you worshipped and myths you believed in #were lies. they're all assholes and also cyberutopia doesn't exist #it's just one of those things where in isolation/in theory none of these religion related things are offensive in and of themselves #but when they're all stacked together it comes off as a kind of Reddit Atheist view of religion #where the more religious a character is the more likely they are to be evil or literally insane/mentally ill #and what religion IS represented is portrayed as nothing more than like. paint colors and a few holidays #as if religion is nothing more than an aesthetic as opposed to a whole philosophy/way of life w a lot of htought behind it

Ok just imagine: the twinyards with albinism. For no reason other than that Neil's commentary would be just that bit funnier.

"No, but I would ask coach why your pale ass isn't on drugs"

"No wonder you both wear black all the time, I'd hate to see you two burn"

Neil pointing at white face paint in the Halloween store: Hey Andrew, it's your shade.

They match ghost costumes on halloween without realising and then next year they're both vampires. They learn to coordinate after that.

Just like... the twinyards but the odds are even more physically stacked against them. That is all.

#no offense to albino people this is a joke #i mean no harm #or offense #albinos can very rarely be born with brown or hazel eyes according to google #imagine neil describing him as blond #fully not realising he has no pigment at all #meeting the twinyards together in their matching black outfits and all he thinks is #“they look terribly pale” #he thinks they're sickly or some shit #i mean they are wearing quite a lot of clothes in the summer? #and just moves on #twinyards with glasses #the possiblities #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #aaron minyard #twinyards #aftg shitpost #aftg headcanon #aftg hc

you’re his biggest fan and biggest hater

I love him because I like chaos and cuteness in one package.

I hate him because...idk why, I just do.

star beast was fun but i do wish the jokes abt the doctor previously being a woman were less like... "oh stupid male-presenting timelord" and more "the doctor's gender is Alien and their pronouns are fucking/guess"

#9 speaks #i know people are praising it for being very transfemme friendly and i'm so glad rose is just chill like that #but i do wish they would like. Talk To A Nonbinary Person before making any of these jokes #i've been spoiled by fan content where the doctor has a more genuinely nonbinary/fluid perception of gender #dunno. you could say it's focusing less on the fluidity and more on 'each regeneration is its own person' #obv there's nothing wrong with that perception of timelord lives but i've always been of the opinion that timelords #would have a very fluid perception of self #hence why 12 and missy constantly flirt about their past selves. 'she was my man-crush' 'back when he was a little girl' #<- that perception shows timelords talking about each other as if the self was one continuous being going through cycles #but the way donna and rose talk to the doctor is as if the minute he regenerated he lost all perception of womanhood #is a bit odd #could be chalked up to a difference in half-human perception of timelord selves vs. full timelord + the cultural upbringing of gallifrey #(he is desperately trying to come up with an excuse for what is blatantly just 'a cis man wrote this without much input from trans people') #(he's also just pissed off that they could've made a bunch of transmasc jokes abt the doctor TO PARALLEL ROSE and DIDN'T) #the lost comedy potential is more offensive than anything...

[femmesandhoney]

idc how old a kid is, and a teenager most certainly is aware, of how rapey and digusting sexually violent "jokes" and threats are towards women. we all know, its not a secret why that sort of language is used to "shut up" women. i will not feel bad for a kid talking like that, they are very aware of what they're doing. maybe one day they're regret it sure, but today doesn't seem to be that day so.

#its very different than an actual child accidentally and unassumingly making jokes that are offensive or something #and then having to stop them and explain that theyre being mean or rude or something #a teen making rape threats is not the same level

If you needed help moving, which OC would you call for help?

first of all, I'm sending u a big virtual hug because this was a super cute idea and I'll totally retaliate in the future <3

So um, let me get awfully personal for a second. I tend to get very nervous when it comes to chores in general, plus I dread moving. Anxiety kicks in, I freeze out of fear, spoons disappear super fast, and I transform into a puddle of "why me"s (to say the least) lol If it were for me, I'd be hedera. I want to be hedera so bad ;;

With that out of the way, I'm sure Kerry would be my first choice, because he's super patient and reassuring when it comes to traumatic situations. He's a responsible puffy cake, also he has big strong arms u-u he would help me finish the job in a few hours tops! Also he brings the cooking! He doesn't mind cooking in stressful situations, which is fundamental <3 panini for everybody! Yeee

I almost forgot to include Shaan (thanks Arja for the assist <3)! And it's a shame, because Shaan is a walking schedule. He would be my immediate second choice if Kerry wasn't available. He lacks Kerry's empathy, but he compensates it with what I lack when it comes to chores, which is direction. He would put an order to things, anticipate issues, and offer solutions when things get dire. Still a second choice tho, because he's an organizer, not a helper :' I would have to be the one that lifts all the boxes, and my arms are like mozzarella

Ankh is a close third, only because I would prefer to get things done super fast and she's not, in comparison to those two above of course. Mind you, she is fast, and she's amazing at defusing situations. Her way of rationalizing pain would be super useful in such a scenario as well. But she's not as good as a supporter as Kerry and a genius at organizing as microsoft excel Shaan << sorry bb, you're great, but not the best for me (story of her life lmao)

#asks #ankh #kerry #shaan #if someone like shaan was in my life I would have them on speed dial lol #the mere thought of eventually moving houses makes my heart beat faster hahah #therapist told me it's the idea of temporarity that scares me and we joked about it a couple of times because it's Very Taurus of me lol #this was a cool way to see everything under a positive (and fun!!!) light thanks dear ;; #the poor ankh always ditched for the cool guys (gender neutral) #she wouldn't take offense tho she would act like me I know that u-u #(and thank me bc she wouldn't have to deal w shaan constant reminders and kerry always teasing her bf lol)

[britneyshakespeare]

throughout the series of drake and josh it pretty consistently implies that josh nichols is a christian (josh peck is jewish) and in the finale of the series helen (played by yvette nicole brown, not jewish[?]) is portrayed as a practicing jew

#i dont have a problem w either of those things necessarily i just find it interesting #if i had to guess. drake and josh was a mainstream that didnt wanna touch on religion generally #but josh was kind of a dork and usually when josh's religious beliefs are implied it is in dorkish ways #such as praying and thanking the lord after he has his first kiss. #but since dan schneider is jewish perhaps he wanted to make helen have a jewish wedding in the finale? #not that there needs to be a reason. but u do notice occasional jewish-related jokes in d&j but none of them are what you could call #offensive. in good faith that is. 'eric is a pacifist' 'i thought he was jewish?' like come on #text post #i have been rewatching drake and josh recently and i have had so many thoughts #im almost done. i just have left that stupid dance episode that they premiered last for the stupid reason #of a special dance-themed premiere night in fall 2007. they premiered the third episode of icarly and a new zoey 101 on the same night #which i think is so stupid. they should've aired really big shrimp last. it messed w my understanding of the series at the time lol #i remember not really knowing that the show was ENDING. like i knew icarly was starting & miranda was doing that #i thought really big shrimp was like just another special like go hollywood. #and then like two days later they premiered the helicopter episode for some reason #and i was like why is drake not famous in this. he just had a number 1 song in a superbowl commercial #and then a month later the dance one. which. if anything is satisfying about that as a final episode it's just that #that unnamed girl from the blues brothers episode who is obsessed w drake shows up again and congratulates them #and the very final line of the series is 'who is she?' because. because really who IS she? #that's a funny enough throwback to wrap things up with i suppose #drake and josh wasn't a highly serialized show so i can see how they could air those after the intended finale and act like it didn't matte #but i have to tell you it did fuck with my brain a bit at the time. lol. i still think of those episodes as having 'happened' after #and on paramount plus those episodes are still placed after really big shrimp. the injustice #but thats kinda messy. what a weird way to end such an influential and popular sitcom #season 4 had a few lowpoints while still also having some VERY solid episodes. #idk. ill have to continue my series review another time im getting way too longwinded here #helen dubois is jewish

I have discovered an anime I really want to watch and it's got a special reputation

It's got a killer soundtrack, and fun art style, an interesting premise... With the only sticking point for me really just being the usual jokes of Catholic Priests. (It never changes and I'd be more offended if I did not expect the joke in EVERY offensive show to exist)

I seriously wonder how season 2 will go, because I know the Internet is going to have a fuckin stroke. I think it already had a death rattle KNOWING season 2 was being made after 10+ years

Do I have you interested?

Goodie! Because I'm not telling, I'm just listening to the villain's transformation theme...

Maybe I'll share the singular clip that got me interested in possibly watching it

#anonymous_h #anime #it's about some angles #and it's fuckin unhinged #and very offensive #like #it's an old ass show anyway #I'm not surprised #not even slightly fazed #I'm just sad there was only one season because it's a special kind of offensive #where I feel the joke IS how ridiculous it is #it's a parody of Magical Girl anime anyhow #i think #that's just one way of looking at it

[unhonestlymirror]

I need "Korean Comic" but like "Latvian/Lithuanian comic". Who would make short reviews on movies and cartoons from Baltic perspective and humour

#Lithuanian humour is very intellectual and cute and hidden it's full of sarcasm with sarcasm #Latvian humour is actually close to Ukrainian. it's biting and a bit offensive and super straightforward but funny af #unfortunately both these groups don't joke much and it's such a pity #just some thoughts #Lithuania #Latvia

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

#again i do not have enough performance experiences to make any definitive claims about who ''aubery's audience'' is #but i find it funny that any time i show my aubrey material one-on-one to a queer gen z person #they're always like ''i love it but straight people will definitely hate it or not get it'' #and i get the inclination to be like. ''i like this thing so people like me will like this thing'' #and cishet society seems so polarized w/r/t queer topics it's like. the assumption makes sense #however. whenever i've done an aubrey performance in front of an audience that's predominantly queer and gen z #i've actually received a primarily negative response!! and somehow straight people have never given me shit for my aubrey material #(''well straight allys don't count'' i told some of my aubrey jokes to a joe rogan dudebro and he enjoyed them) #(which yeah maybe could be a mark against my comedy but i like to think i opened his mind a bit at the very least) #i really want to test my aubrey monologues in front of a primarily gen x/boomer audience #bc so far i only have actual performance experience in front of gen z or millennials #and the older people i've told jokes to individually or shown videos of my stuff have really liked it #luckily paul has said a goal for when i'm in town this summer is to get me to perform my aubrey stuff in as many different places as possib #for both queer audiences and non-queer audiences so i can gauge reactions since i don't want to be confined to one demographic #so i'll get a lot of data points this summer #@ paul get me a performing slot at senior citizen pride lmao these are my people #(shoutout to paul going ''jess stop collecting the old homos!'' last time i was in town) #(and when i imitated him and was like ''old gay men are not your pokemon!'' bellini was like ''ok but they may be your audience'') #also one data point i really want to see the variation on is how my one specific joke plays in these different demographics #bc i have a joke that like. it's literally not even about AIDS and doesn't punch down at all #i literally say ''if you're gay and over the age of 50 you could violate the geneva convention and i'd still be like support our troops'' #like obviously being like ''you have been through hell so i will let you get away with literal war crimes you deserve ultimate immunity'' #BUT. in the line right before the quote i use the phrase ''AIDS generation'' not as a derogatory term but being like. #this horrible thing impacted the entire generation y'know? and bellini and scott and their friends call themselves that it's just the term #but when i said the phrase ''AIDS generation'' in front of my gen z audience i heard gasps and felt like they all hated me #and when i did the same line in front of millennials it wasn't quite as striking but their eyes did widen #like i was suddenly an ''edgy comedian''. but like this is a part of our history and it does inform the story i'm telling #the story i'm telling is comedic but it's grounded in this real world context #and i'm like. @ the audience who was offended: when was the last time any of y'all spoke to a gay man over the age of 50 #bc bellini loves that section of the monologue and was offended that people would even take offense to that phrase

[leonardalphachurch]

remember that post that got hundreds of notes that was like. rvb is only good when it’s offensive. i don’t like to use the word cringe but god. genuinely cringeworthy behavior

#there’s this thing where like. bigotry as a joke just allows space for real bigotry to thrive #i think that’s the case with a lot of rvb fans #they see the characters on the show doing edgy humor and they realize #oh i can do that too. i can make the characters say offensive things and go ‘oh well the show did it!’ #‘i’m just having them act in character!’ #it’s very transparent and pathetic and dare i say. cringe. #anyway. rvbs offensive humor is literally it’s weakest stuff #and like i said before. if you don’t know how to make the rnbs funny without making them edgy. then you’re really not very funny are you.
