I'm being 100% serious one of the worst things stan culture has done is making suicide jokes commonplace again

#like we had a brief period of time where people were getting over the edgy kys jokes and then twitter and tik tok brought them fully swing #i despise it so much its bad for your own mental health and its bad for others #vio.txt #vio.rant #tw suicide #call me easily triggered but it legit makes me so uncomfortable on a good day and makes me spiral on a bad one #and like u can't ask people to stop without it being weird

Hey guys remember when we as a community agreed we were not gonna be weird about shipping and romantic arcs in mcrp WELL it is time to live up to that and shut up about flower husbands in scott's chat :)))

#vio.txt #vio.rant #discourse #empiresshipping #flower husbands #he said we could continue to make fan content but the bit's over #so stop trying to get them to revive it #thats weirdchamp <3 #like. yall know i love flower husbands it forever has a place in my heart but. theres a distinction between canon and fanon for a reason

In light of Kentucky senate bill 150 passing, this is your reminder that "parental rights" are bullshit because children, just like all other people, have the right to privacy, especially for the purpose of safety. You do not own your children.

Not to sound incredibly pretentious but I am genuinely concerned with how "strong visual aesthetic" is becoming conflated automatically with "good movie". Like the nightmare scenario is that movies just look pretty while saying absolutely nothing

#vio.rant #yes this is about barbie #like literally what did it truely say about feminism #like what did it contribute? that people should be a person outside of their gender? that there are double standards for women?? #and THAT is radical and groundbreaking????? like it was a fun movie but it did not get snubbed lmao #it just was mattell's pr movie that quoted literally every canva hashtag instagram feminism graphic out there #like greta gurwig is a good director this was just not her best work at all. same goes for margot robbie #like sorry i just was not tuned into barbie's story arc at all. #also im just keg got a nom because it was. just the best song in the movie? both story incorporation wise and writing #ive always kinda felt that they uh prolly shouldnt have given ken the only musical number in a movie about barbie but eh thats what they did #but yeah. i feel like people only like it bc its v pretty (which. the set design is INCREDIBLE) but thats not the same as a good movie yunno #maybe thats just where cis people are in terms of gender theory which. that is unfortunate

Hot take making fun of a whole ass gender no matter who you’re in front of is a bad move

I do think it's more complicated than that; like, I get it when my lesbian friend goes "god men suck why are they like that" after being catcalled for the 5th time that week and like maybe it's not "morally" right to generalize an entire gender in the "quantifying good vs bad and looking at the net cost/benefit" look at ethics but at the end of the day people will make and shouldn't be ashamed to make choices that aren't aligned with pure rationality. She's allowed to express her rightly felt frustration, and it's undeniable that social factors tend to influence a whole gender to act like dicks to women.

HOWEVER, my point and the point of the post is that you should also be aware of how that expression of frustration will affect those around you. For me and a lot of other transmascs, hearing our friends go "all man are terrible" sucks extra than for cis guys because 1) it means that the person you trust probably doesn't see you as a man despite everything you have done to live as one 2) it means that the person you trust thinks that the thing that you've always wanted is a mistake and something to be made fun of (tangent: this is also why I don't like it when people go "ew do you *want* to be a cis man??" Because while I love being trans, most of my pre-teen and teen years were spent being incredibly depressed that I wasn't born as one).

It's complicated because it's trying to balance the effects of two societal traumas. I don't think my friend is wrong for making fun of men, but I do think it's wrong that she does it in front of a trans guy. As for the appearance thing though, I don't think you should make fun of anyone, regardless. I personally think there's a way to be like "haha that incel lacks hygiene and the neckbeard is evidence" that doesn't also catch bystanders in the crossfire because it doesn't make the nrckbeard the focus of the joke, but I'm also not a great judge of if something comes off insensitive lol. Also I don't think that's really a gender thing, more of a "maybe just be careful because physical appearance is a social signal of stuff like health and economic status etc etc" thing

tldr: deprogram yourself from internet purity culture and have some more understanding for everyone, even if it doesn't have to lead to forgiveness.

#vio.ask #sorry anon this is probably more than you expected #transphobia against transmascs is so rarely discussed and im. very pent up about it #however i don't think approaching this with any sweeping statement is gonna solve anything #because facts DO care about your feelings and the feelings of those around you #because those are whats affected #emotion and rationality are very different mechanisms so you can't really rationalize your way into an emotionally satisfying conclusion #transphobia #transandrophobia #vio.rant #as always disclaimer this is my opinion take it or leave it

please post the pokemon games rant

Okay so. First of all so people don't get mad at me, this is obviously all my own opinion. This is coming from someone who's childhood *was* Pokemon. I watched the pokeemon anime starting from 5th grade and followed it until the end of XY, I played the games throughout middle and the first half of high school, and the pokemon manga are, to this day, one of my favorite books of all times.

So maybe this is just me being a cranky old man, but the direction the previous few pokemon games have been going pisses me off. It feels like Nintendo ran out of ideas for Pokemon years ago, and is now just trying to get as much cash from the franchise as possible before it completely crashes, instead of actually putting the time into making it good.

Like, take Sword and Shield; it was the last pokemon game I played and I didn't even finish it because the graphics were so ugly, the open world concept felt unnatural as hell to navigate (as well as boring and empty), the gimmick of making your pokemon huge was so stupid, and the storyline and characters were forgettable. I was hoping that Scarlet and Violet would be better, but from what I've heard, it's the same issues, just reskinned. Its even more frustrating because as a longtime fan, the possibility of an open world pokemon game was like, minecraft cave update levels of anticipation, and then it happens and its so clearly underdeveloped. ESPECIALLY compared to other franchises. Like, obviously we aren't asking for BotW levels of effort but the way Pokemon sword and shield looks feels like it was made in 2014.

And the thing is, they're clearly pushing their developers waaay too hard

Like. Look at the number of games released after Sun and Moon compare to before. Not to mention the work of making an open world and all the extra features they insist on. And idk, I'm not a game developer, maybe porting over to the Switch expedited the process, but I feel like whats more likely is that the devs are being pushed harder, and are making worse quality games (which is, of course, not their fault but rather the company's money motive).

TLDR: In my opinion, Pokemon is becoming more and more of a collection of quick, cash-grab gimmicks, and if Nintendo can't be bothered to put in the effort on the franchise, then I don't have the time or heart to invest in them anymore.
