I will never forgive RDR2 for dumbing down John just to make Arthur look better
Edit: There seems to be some confusion as to what this post is saying. Some people are mistaking it for an Arthur hate post while some people are believing it is disregarding the fact that John is roughly ten years younger than he is in RDR1, and therefore disregarding all that time he had to grow between games.
Rest assured; it is not doing any of these things.
It is just pointing out that by R*’s own admission they did not want John to overshadow Arthur, and that especially from the perspective of someone who played RDR1 first, what happened to John is a massive unneeded retcon which ends up hurting both characters.
Simply put, if R* had just had more confidence in Arthur as a character, or at the very least, had mentioned him at some point in RDR1, what this post was originally complaining about would not be an issue.

(not actually mad)
I fucking hate this system. I'm fucking resigning at gatekeeper. I don't work this hard for this level of disrespect /j
We've been watching the fucking Ted Lasso show on Apple TV which we are largely watching cause one of the characters is stupidly just me (again) and we watch shows when characters are too much one alter (again) and it does not fucking help the dude's name is FUCKING Roy.
And so everyone the past fucking week or two has been clowning about it at me and our fiance was like "You know a lot of therapists probably watch it and its a pretty easy way to explain and introduce Ray to them" and me being fucking gatekeeper went "hold the fucking phone I think Riku literally did that" and I check and fucking christ that asshole
Like if it was the fucking stupid cockatoo that never works with me or XIV I'd be like "yeah ok thats just them" but this dumb hoe literally put on my card to the therapist "Roy Kent from Ted Lasso"
I dedicate my life to this system and being a good gatekeeper and watching out for them and I come home and all this system has for me is making [redacted] Jokes at me, [redacted] jokes at me, and calling me "roy FUCKING cunt" the sheer disrespect
I was literally fronting for more than 2 seconds for the once a month moment (I literally usually front for 2 seconds just to skip any positive trigger songs like daily since I'm always here but not interested in being out 95% of the time) and this is the bullshit I get fucking christ I hate this system /hj (mostly joking but I do hate them affectionately)
-Ray

YOU are responsible for your pets
So, over the years I've been clear about domestic cats and the harm they do when allowed to free-roam. (keep them contained!)
I rarely talk about the responsibilities of DOG owners tho. I LOVE dogs. I spend time at the dog park (even tho Sebastian is long gone) so I can get my share of doggy time.
so I'm gonna put this on blast today-
If your dog does not INSTANTLY return to you on RECALL.. you must keep that dog on a leash, in public spaces.
yes- even at the 'off leash park'! Iif it won't come when you call it- Leash it. full stop. no arguments.
all you entitled folks out there with your lame, self-centred excuses. size doesn't matter. temperament doesn't matter. whatever the other dog was doing doesn't matter.
NO! it's on YOU! your dog must be under your control!
Teach it or Leash it!

I can’t believe Stranger Things has me mad at people for skipping a sporting event to play D&D. Just go to your friend’s big game dammit!

There was yet another viral ATLA comparison tweet recently that went “Who winning in a fight between Katara, Toph and Azula?” and I was talking about it with some of my friends who watched the show because….
I noticed when a lot of people talk about this (and atla in general but specifically this) they talk with a lot of projection and bias of the characters’ personalities and not about their actual fighting abilities in the show?
Because, correct me if I’m wrong cuz I have Katara blinders and also haven’t watched the show in a few months so I COULD BE WRONG, but…
I don’t recall Katara losing as many fights as either of them do in canon.
Toph loses a fight in imbalance (and to Aang when they first meet) but a lot of people haven’t even read the comics so the Katara-Toph comparisons bother me less because they never truly fought in the show either.
But Katara has not only beat Azula twice, she’s also never lost a fight after season 1 from what I can remember.
And yet, people continue to act like she’s not a great fighter, especially in favor of those two when she’s literally the only one to beat one of the others, TWICE at that.
When Toph meets Azula in the invasion, Azula doesn’t have her bending and Toph is left to fight two Dai Li agents. The show never once shows these 2 in direct opposition. Toph also never has to fight Zuko, who Katara has. Never fights Mai and Ty Lee, who Katara has. Katara not only has more wins than them, but the show also shows her directly fighting more significant opponents between the three of them.
I actually wanna speak about two of those fights, yeah yeah Sozin’s Comet but also, the 1v1 in Ba Sing Se. Not only do people cry “oh Azula was breaking down in the finale” but now they claim that the fight in season 2 was also not fair? because she was too tired from fighting Aang and Katara?? And I’m like??? Aang made one waterbending move with Katara and one solo earthbending move at Azula before Zuko switched sides and started attacking him. Then Katara was left to fight Azula on her own for far longer, and throughout the whole fight, Azula literally did not get a hit on Katara once, to the point her brother had to intervene.
If you ask me, their fight on Sozin’s comet is a much stronger case for Azula as an opponent. For one, Azula was literally overpowered by a comet and was shooting lightning and fire all over the place with more intensity and speed than she ever had. Meanwhile Katara spends majority of the fight on the defensive but still impressively keeps up with Azula enough to dodge her moves until the very end when she defeats her.
All this to say, even though they’re all girls, I do feel a bit of misogyny is at play here: I feel like people are more critical of Katara as a fighter because she’s kind, girly and the female love interest. (I think this also relates to why so many people insist she shouldn’t have ended up with the mc but that’s a whole other discussion).
Katara is not the tomboy brawler or the cold blooded villain. Her femininity cannot be ignored and her strength cannot be tied to a villainous narrative. Katara not wanting to bloodbend pisses people off, because it’s “more proof she doesn’t have what it takes”. She doesn’t “have the stomach” to end her mother’s m*rderer so how can she beat Toph or Azula? “Female characters are hardly both healers AND fighters” so Katara automatically isn’t either. Even though the canon explicitly shows she is one of, if not THE BEST female fighter in the entire cast.
It does not compute. Their prejudice for kind hyperfeminine love interests in media automatically puts her down several notches and her strength is something to be contested in a way theirs aren’t. It’s okay for female characters that aren’t overly feminine to be strong because it just makes sense. It’s ok for female villains to be stronger than the male heroes because that’s what makes them badass villains. The hero’s girlfriend? eh not so much.
The more blatant misogyny starts to surface when they start talking about stuff like personality and emotion like just say it out loud at this point! It was never about “Who you want to win?” but “Who can win?”. And Katara is anything but a loser.

After re-watching The Fellowship of the Ring, I'm even more convinced we're never going to get films like that again that are so beautiful, take such exquisite care in their details, have such a perfect cast, or even have a fraction of the stars aligned in such a way.
On one hand, it makes me sad.
On the other, I'm just glad it happened and that it had all the right people at every single station that could've possibly existed for the project.

The Deats brothers: lmao if people have a problem with sex in Netflixvania, don’t they know that Kojima brought the horny way before us? 🤣
Me (and other fans): Kojima’s “horny” was beautiful, attractive men, not shittly written rape by deception.
Some rando: DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A VAMPIRE IS??? OF COURSE A VAMPIRE STORY WOULD FEATURE SEX AND RAPE, IT’S WHAT THEY DO!!!
Me: cool. still shittly written and out of place both in a castlevania adaptation and netflixvania itself. also one of those two scenes is humans raping a half-vampire, so the justification doesn’t even hold water...
lol. lmao even. Trying to paint me as some sort of puritan who’s afraid of boobles and faints at the first rape scene 😂 y’all should read Berserk and understand the difference between “rape that has an actual reason to be in the story” and “wank material that’s there out of spite”.
