Writer, passionate nerd, & generally odd guy who loves speculative fiction & is worldbuilding his own story setting & planning a flintlock fantasy book series.
These videos cannot come close to the damage caused by the fan base DRIVING AN ARTIST TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE because she depicted Rose Quartz as being “too thin.” These videos would not have been made if not for the toxic fan base surrounding the show.
How in the heck do you expect a barber to do their job without touching you? It’s absurd to require them to ask permission before they do what you’re paying them to do. You’re more fragile than a snowflake if you’re that afraid of normal human interactions.
To clarify, my issues are:
1) That they are doing this to virtue signal &
2) They're not making the donations to the NNAF OPTIONAL. If they let the consumer decide to have the money from their purchase go to the NNAF, fine, but not giving them the choice? That's dirty pool.
I don’t know what’s more pathetic: That this person thinks they’re being clever or that they think this won’t elicit laughter & ridicule from the people they’re trying to offend with such juvenile antics.
You know, I haven’t seen anyone saying “If Treasure Planet were made today, people would say it was woke” because of Captain Amelia, but them again, Amelia doesn’t tear men down to build herself up. She’s just a no-nonsense officer who’s doing her job with style & aplomb.

I LOVE functional armor on a sexy woman. But I don’t demand people cater to me. I only demand consistency. The dudes had better be in equally impractical armor or the overall aesthetic is ruined.
When you can’t refute a fellow black person who disagrees with you, say they want to be white. That will in no way make you look desperate & like you’re projecting. Nope! No way will it make you appear to be self-hating. None at all.
But when you cast a white person to play a poc character, or redraw them as white, you are actively contributing, mocking, and taking away what LITTLE representation we have. which is why it is so clearly a big issue.
maybe go through 400 years of oppression and then we can talk!
Ellis used the show to stroke his hate-boner for Christianity & throw in as much woke trash as possible right out of the gate. The show was devoid of any nuance & had a constant "written for modern audiences" feel to it that was incredibly annoying.🔽
"Castlevania is trash and woke now."
Motherfuckers we've been saying that since season 3 y'all just called us crazy. Remember when the show wanted us to care about the feminist lesbians, who did nothing but slaughter innocent people in what little screen time they had?
For all the posts on Reddit I see of "men writing women badly," all I have to do is pick up a random romance novel written by a woman to find proof of women doing the exact same thing with male characters.
Accepted my friend's request for my honest opinion on a romance book she read & spent the last 4hrs reading. My overwhelming takeaway is this; a majority of female writers have no idea how to write male characters.
1. Eliminating a threat ≠ Monster
2. Men can do more than brood
And now I have ZERO sympathy for these people. As far as I’m concerned, they shouldn’t get one red cent because this is now cruel and unusual punishment.
“He has testicular cancer.”
“She.”
“Do you suppose he got testicular cancer as a result of HRT? It’s rather unusual to get testicular cancer at a young age.”
“SHE.”
“I think saying ‘she’ is unlikely to treat the cancer that will inevitably kill ‘her’ without proper treatment.”
Hey, I remember that trial. The funniest moment was when one of his attackers admitted ON THE STAND & ON NATIONAL TELEVISION that Kyle shot him AFTER he had pointed his gun at Kyle.
Comedy GOLD.
Not unlike people who block replies after posting something stupid.
@literaturedevil
As other people have been pointing out, there's another Disney movie that shows why it's REALLY not a good idea to grant everyone's wish.
Your examples are over 50 years old & what’s wrong with people liking characters of another race? Are white people not allowed to enjoy Blade? Further, a solid ORIGINAL black character trumps a blackwashed character every time. Why settle for unoriginal pandering?
When your people is consistently represented in such a harmful way or just completely removed from media as a whole, they end up clinging to characters that aren't even their race or even a person at all.
@Remnant_Tales
I think it’s mostly in response to the obsessive shippers in the RWBY community, not the scene itself. It’s cathartic to everyone who’s has to put up with their juvenile crap for so long.
Of all the Homophobic Ruby memes I have seen, these are my favorites, especially the one pointing out all the logical fallacies, like Appeal to Historicism.
If you’re so fragile that not being referred to by your preferred pronouns will lead to you killing yourself, life is going to chew you up, spit you out, then stomp on you for good measure b/c that level of fragility invites disaster.
It does the same to crybullies, too.
So, the one dude is actually WORKING while all the women are on their phones, then they proceed to say a bunch of really sexist things about men while claiming not to be sexist, yet the artist thinks this comic is a dig against men or sexism or something.
Sure, ok.
@ZanzaGamesYT
That’s equally stupid. The customer is there to get a haircut. Also, the phrasing of the question in no way implies what you assert. If that’s what they meant, that’s what they should have said.
Wow, this thread is sad & just plain wrong. You can’t predict how individuals will react to a character. A black person isn’t going to automatically relate to a black character just b/c the character is black. Most people relate to characters based on other things.⬇️
Ive seen alot of people make the claim that drawing a white character black is just as racist as making them white--so Im here to explain why this is dead wrong for you!! A thread (1/8)
There is no good reason in the Harry Potter universe for magic to be kept secret from Muggles. ANY moral character in that setting should be calling to end the divide so magic can be used to help wider society. The fact this is never addressed is an embarrassing oversight.
Ah, the old “this person is a Pick Me” projection. Someone is clearly getting their butt handed to them. No wonder they locked the replies.
Reminder: Do not give people like this direct engagement. It’s what they’re after.
But… people HATED the casting. They hated the movie AS A WHOLE. It’s been almost universally panned as terrible. What, exactly, are you trying to prove by bringing up THIS abomination?
King once again opens his mouth & proves how out of touch he is.
“Worldbuilding” simply means building the setting of the story. It’s an efficient umbrella term for a whole bunch of necessary steps to creating a coherent sci fi or fantasy setting.
Good grief. I think, unless taught otherwise, most kids don't feel represented by someone based on similar physical traits but by similar INTERESTS. A kid who wants to be a musician will gravitate toward a character who's a musician. Skin is only skin deep.
@OliverJia1014
Fixing a problem no one had in the first place is what American activists do. They create problems where none exist in order to pose as righteous people in front of others. They're thugs pretending to be Paladins, essentially.
There is a right way & a wrong way to defend a show.
This is the WRONG WAY. Further, it's not the LGBT content that people dislike. It's that CrunchyRoll promised they would use money to support ANIME PRODUCERS then turned around & funded High Guardian Spice.
Good grief, women need to understand that if they shoot a guy down & only want sex on their terms, they’re effectively saying, “I don’t respect or desire you.” There aren’t many other ways to interpret such actions.
I don’t think this person realizes how incredibly insecure they look responding in this manner. It’s like they feel THREATENED by the most basic premise of a straight relationship.
Just had a REALLY disturbing thought thinking about the sex-change potion in High Guardian Spice:
If that kind of potion exists & is available to ANYONE, what’s to stop a tyrannical military from forcing women to take it to bolster their numbers?⬇️
Nobody has more influence over how a boy comes to see women quite like their mother.
If his mother hates him because he’s a boy, he will learn that women are hateful bigots.
It’s that simple.
I call this the "keystone scene" of the movie. Everything before builds up to it & everything that follows is a result of it. And there is SO MUCH CHACTER in this sequence. They both push each other past their limits with how stubborn they both are being.
Ok, here’s a test for you: Reverse the sexes & some of the pronouns in this scene & tell me if you’d be comfortable with it, especially the last line in the 2nd panel of the 2nd page. Would you defend it by saying “it’s just a comic” if things were reversed?
1) Zuko was never a militant fascist. He was trying to find the Avatar in order to get back into his father's good graces.
2) Catra was never redeemed. She's a turncoat who switched sides because she saw she couldn't get her way with the new boss.
So, men have to constantly walk on eggshells because women are paranoid & assume the worst over the slightest movement? A dude has to be careful how he shifts his hands just in case it freaks a woman out? Are you serious?
My father, upon being arrested, and despite being on the skeleton side (he was beginning to frail), still managed to terrify a female police officer by accident because he shifted his hands a certain way, and he had to reassure her.
She anticipated for unpredictable behaviours.
No. If you were to replace "straight" with "LGBT," people would (rightly) be throwing a fit. To take pleasure at the suffering & death of people because of their sexual orientation is SICK.
But, that's to be expected from Nu-Ra fans.
On the one hand, I do want to see monstrous races with monstrous looking females, but, on the other, sexual dimorphism IS A THING.
I’m also against mandates on principle.
Bottom line: Do your own thing. If you want monstrous looking females, make them.
Friendly reminder since it's Monsterfucker Month ™️:
👏 LET 👏 MONSTER 👏 WOMEN 👏 BE 👏 MONSTROUS 👏
You don't need to anime waifu them up for them to be sexy, they're already sexy!!!
We need a Bingo card for what’s in the bios of people using this pfp.
My suggestions are:
Trans
Autistic
Pronouns in bio
🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Fan of Nu-Ra, Owl House, or some other show (or game) with “representation”
Any other suggestions?

Wow, he even made sure she got home safe after she treated him like that. She has NO IDEA that she probably just blew off a man who would have been really good to her. But, hey, at least he didn’t end up with ANOTHER abusive sow.

For the majority of people, such an approach will have the opposite effect, in part because they expect professionalism & confidence, not creepy, servile sounding questions.
One good thing to come out of this situation: I know exactly which VAs never to hire. Seriously, the overreaction to a sh*tpost that used AI voices & didn’t make the animator one red cent is quite revealing.
@bunnytanktreads
I wasn't aware of that because I've never paid any attention to CAH. I didn't have anything against it, either. Now I do because they're not making it OPTIONAL for the money to go to the NNAF. Also, telling customers their state sucks? Not very smart.
@tommy_stella
It's not just men who hate these characters, though.
Of course, any woman who says she hates these characters will be dismissed as having "internalized misogyny."
Because it can't possibly be that these characters are just badly written & obnoxious, can it?
Ok, let's get this straight.
Woke =/= Diversity
Woke = Diversity™️, ie, corporate mandated, virtue signaling, tokenizing, checkbox ticking, SURFACE LEVEL "diversity" that comes at the expense of quality writing.
Diversity that doesn't toot its own horn =/= woke.
I’m an armor enthusiast, so I LOVE functional armor. However, this guy is NOT an armor enthusiast. He’s just a snob. An enthusiast would be WAY more specific about the details.
I'm sorry, but was any of this OFFICIAL COMPANY ARTWORK made by a Conservative? (If you're wondering about the 3rd one, take a close look at the lamppost.)
Honest question: Why do you need to “see yourself” in a character? What does it mean to “see yourself” in a character & why is it so important that you do?
If it’s to feel good about yourself, why don’t you feel good about yourself? Why do you need entertainment to do that?
He’s a danger to society, pure & simple. His autism is not his fault, but he can’t control himself & he’s too big & strong for most people to handle. He needs to be put somewhere he can be kept under control, whether it’s in prison or a psych ward, or he WILL kill someone.
NEW: The mother of Brendan Depa, the 6ft 6in teen who beat his teacher unconscious over a Nintendo Switch, is pleading for the teacher to "show mercy" on her son.
Depa's adoptive mom, Leanne Depa, says sentencing her autistic son to prison will be a "death sentence."
Depa is
Peter Pan is actually a REALLY disturbing story when you stop to think about it. Heck, in the original version, only Peter didn't age & he killed any Lost Boys who started to get too old for his liking.
The people behind "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" are now making a second horror film based on a popular children's IP, Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare
Guess they're gonna keep going till no one cares anymore huh?
Given Blizzard’s history of doing stuff like this to deal with bad PR involving a scandal of some kind, chances are they’re trying to get ahead of something.
Women can be absolutely VICIOUS toward each other. I’ve never seen men treat other men with the same level of SPITE that I see between women. I think it’s like men have this mechanism that says “This fight ain’t worth the mental energy investment” which holds them back, maybe.
@OutSpok61328120
Not only do men generally treat women better than women treat men but men also tend to treat women better than women treat other women.
Let’s face it: The people in charge are literally racist bigots. The more they try to prove how not racist they are, the more they reveal it to be a lie. So, stop supporting them, with your money, your votes, & your respect. (They certainly won’t show you any of the latter.)
Hollywood: Hey, black people, look how we raceswapped a popular character! See how much we care? Buy our product!
Me: So, I have an original black character over here…
Hollywood: You’re white! You can’t write black characters!
Me: …who’s a Gun Mage.
Hollywood: Racist!
These people assume that in order for a cartoon to be "adult" it needs to have tons of swearing, sexual content, be politically charged, & be meta. Ironically, this is very CHILDISH. An adult cartoon just needs to handle mature themes and topics.

@SomeGuy40085367
I actually thought it would make for an interesting bit of worldbuilding if their blasters & helmets were made by different companies & the targeting software in both was miscommunicating due to an incompatibility since the Empire prioritized quantity over quality.
He didn't say this, obviously, but, DANG, would it have made him a compelling antagonist if he had because, in certain regards, he's right. Further, the Navi are a perfect example of the Noble Savage Trope. They're a romanticized depiction of primitive cultures.🔽
Let's see:
Vtuber with >200 followers
Pronouns + made up pronouns (fae/faer) in bio
Making a tweet that dismisses the harassment & cyberbullying of other people over Hogwarts Legacy.
Am I the only one noticing that a lot of these people are unsuccessful vtubers?
