Them: Wait, so, you think Tommy’s closet joke was actually hysterical and made you love his character even more instead of hating him?

Body modification has been around longer than humanity. There are some body modifications that do have negative and long-lasting consequences (i.e. genital mutilation), but ear piercing largely is not one of them.

#tcp #by longer than humanity i mean there's evidence that neanderthals had body ornamentation and modification this it is a sign of #a social and mentally advanced species #please get a grip

The guy spent most of last season complaining that they didn't listen to him and you were outraged that they didn't and the car was bad because they didn't

and now that they've listened to him it's actually a conspiracy against him and that's why the car is bad?

It's almost like fixing a car isn't as easy as pointing out the issues it has! Who would have thought?!?!?!

some of y'all are way too comfortable romanticizing rape and domestic abuse. it's actually not a "cute little trope" for you to use in whackass smut fanfictions, that's actually people's reality

Mom can you come pick me up someone is unintentionally spreading misinformation about Jewish life in pre-WWII Eastern Europe on Twitter and going viral again

#Just because something existed before the war and you didn't know about it #Does not mean no examples of that thing exist anymore and the entire architectural form was destroyed in the Holocaust #Please get a grip #I am going to sic the ghost of Salo Baron on you #Stop showing me the inside of the POLIN Museum. Assflash newshole I have been there in real life

the only other time i’ve seen ppl so stupidly obsessed with analyzing a friendship and behavior was with larries. i need ppl to realize that pedri and gavi are strangers!! to us. they’re friends and teammates and never said otherwise so curating a whole narrative based on who they sit with on the plane and insinuating one is shitty friend compared to the other is concerning behavior and most definitely rooted in mental illness

#please get a grip #pedri and gavi don’t owe you anything #it’s never been that serious

The fact that there are some Americans only just now becoming outraged when US-backed aid workers and US provided food are being attacked by Israel is so pathetic. “How dare they shoot up OUR foot packages” let alone causing the conditions for Palestinian starvation in the first place.

#please get a grip #idk how at this point i can consistently be apalled by the lack of compassion or ability to understand cause and effect #current events #israel has been clear what their intentions were from day 1 #and i don’t bemoan anyone who is trying to be optimistic about a potential solution but that is not who i am referencing here

Honestly, whenever Pokemon comes up, generally speaking I tend to agree with many criticisms of the modern games, but ultimately, I just don’t fucking have it in me to hate Pokémon. I literally just do not have the energy to.

Sometimes I’m disappointed with the choices, but I just don’t have any interest in dwelling on the negative aspects when the franchise is something that brings me such joy in the highlights. It’s not that I don’t see the flaws, I just can’t bring myself to be dwelling on them like some people do, y’know? I want to enjoy Pokémon, so I do.

#pokemon #modern pokemon #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon scarvio #discussing negativity #discourse #i do not see the point of getting upset and miserable over a children’s game #ultimately it’s just a game #and getting overly mad or disappointed is understandable #but in my opinion a silly choice to make #actually I changed my mind being mad about it is dumb #like maybe a second of anger I understand I have intrusive thoughts #but if you stew in anger over a pokemon game not living up to your expectations #please get a grip

I find it really funny when I see antis saying shit like “oh, billy’s apologists wouldn’t even look at him if he was not hot” (which is usually a main argument as to why people can even like this character in the first place), as if people who like Billy actively excused his actions because Billy is a ‘hot piece of ass’. There are more than few holes in that logic (or there lack of).

First of, I rarely see anyone who says that what Billy did (mostly during season 2, I would never blame Billy for anything that happened in season 3) was in any shape or form excusable. It was not. He was an asshole and he was aggressive and violent, and him attacking the kids and Steve is not excused by the fact that he was also very clearly abused. But you can (and in fact you should when dealing with complex fictional characters) acknowledge the full spectrum of human behaviour, and draw your own conclusions as to why he was acting like this in the first place. You really don’t need to know much about psychology to be able to comprehend how growing up in abusive household can impact how you react to things, how it could twist the person into someone angry and unpredictable and controlling. It’s really a cycle of abuse - Billy feels cornered by his father (is being abused and called names by his father, might I add), so he turns that same behaviour to someone weaker, like Max, as he can actually have some control while dealing with her. It’s not an excuse, but it sure as hell is an explanation.

Second of all, claiming that people like (and defend) Billy only because he is attractive, is a good example of one-track, shallow mindset, that I feel like has more to do with antis lack of critical thinking, than anything else really. It shouldn’t be that difficult to comprehend, but apparently it is, so let me make that very, very clear. Liking Billy doesn’t mean that we are actually racist (or condoning racism). Liking Billy doesn’t mean that we excuse his abusive and shitty behaviour, and making it okay because we feel bad for him (not to mention making him some blameless hero after he died). Liking Billy doesn’t amount to seeing him as just an object of attraction, because being attractive is really not enough to make people that defensive over him.

Liking Billy is actually comprehending the complexity and potential of his character, acknowledging both his abusive behaviour but also taking under consideration the abuse that he experienced. Most of all, liking him is knowing that he deserved the time and a chance to do better, to change and to maybe grow from that. He was barely 18, and saying that he very well deserved to die the way he did is actually fucking awful. It lacks some sort of fundamental ability to empathise, even with people who you might not fully like. It’s making him an abuse victim who deserved to die because he didn’t behave in socially acceptable way in which some other antagonists do. It didn’t make him redeemable enough. That’s bullshit, and maybe if some antis managed to rub together two lonely braincells vacating their skulls, and pushed for some actual critical thinking, maybe then it would become a bit clearer as to why so many people like Billy’s character. Just, fucking, do better, because even though we are dealing with fictional characters here, it is actually rather worrying how much similar mindset could translate, in some cases, to real life behaviour.

#billy hargrove #this actually makes my blood boil on the daily basis #i have seen enough and I cant just sit silent anymore #it’s actually beyond me how much some people lack basic empathy #you really dont need to like billy #but wishing him to die? or attacking people who like him? #please get a grip #go read some book or something #interact with real people and actually fucking observe how people behave #because this mindset is extremely self-absorbed and shallow #it shows that you really know and understand fuck all about people around you and moreover you don’t want to understand them #life is not black and white honey sometimes shit stinks and often there is a reason behind it #oh and antis please use the door on your way out
