i appreciate the apology, chel, and i understand that you didn't mean it that way. yep. :D:D:D that's much better.
To quote cryptovexillologist on tumblr, "summarizing villains as “MRA redditors” or similar is consistently the least interesting lens possible". We get it, "all media is political" is your favorite praxis, but this isn't what it fucking means. Bonus points for when you just know they're attracted to the character / most of the fandom is attracted to the character so they feel the need to constantly show how Not Like That they are. Alternatively, bonus points for when they hate the character for weird personal reasons and try to make it seem less weird with quasipolitical memes (remember "you know Mercy is a creepy white savior libfem"? yea) Also please stop doing that to my kinnie ass. I don't like go mad when my kins are misinterpreted, but having any villain ones in fandom culture bent on sneering at villains can be really frustrating
See also the trend of referring to villains as incels, especially when it doesn't make any fucking sense. I saw someone call Megatron an incel! Megatron!
someone do a transformers doodle of "all women are QUEENS" "if she BREATH, she a THOT!!!!" "AAAAA" please
Megatron, the sadsack beta who can't find anyone to fuck him. None of these mechs will give someone like HIM the time of day. Megatron practicing his pickup artist game. Megatron negging Optimus. Megatron peacocking with his giant helmet and his fusion cannon. Also, courtesy of kintstruggle user @applechime: Spoiler
(even if you've never read transformers and never want to read transformers, I cannot push bonnini's megop enough, 11/10, highly recommend)
agentcaito has fucking infinite energy for starting stupid baby fights in the rvb fandom and i have no idea where the fuck he gets it from he is literally the personification of MOAR FITE (brought to you by agentcaito trying to start a fight over zodiac headcanons today)
I misread that without the "even" and for several minutes I lived in a magical land where you could only appreciate a link about Transformers if you swore never to experience the source material. I kind of miss it.....
to be fair, there's some transformers source material you'd be better off never experiencing (michael bay's transformers is the worst)
One of my favorites is still this (NSFW): http://bonnini.tumblr.com/post/144010925488/when-you-are-horny-247-but-your-shitty-attidude
I don't transformers and this is the funniest shit I've ever seen and I'm crying Eta I'm looking at their tag
I had that comic open in a tab for mooooonths because it made me laugh my ass off every fucking time I saw it and I wanted to share it with someone. Eventually I closed it because I could never find anyone to share it with. It was a sad sad day, replaced now by a happy day because I have finally found victims an audience who might also get a laugh.
Look, fandom, I don't think anyone could deny that prejudice and emotional abuse play a part in a kid growing up dangerous and morally dubious, but solely blaming the Abbeydwellers for Veil's actions is a disservice to the billions of abused kids throughout history who did not grow up to be literal murderers. It's also not analogous to any prejudice between human groups because, for example, black people don't drink human blood as infants and potentially grow up to eat whole people.
this characters arc was about how she's a child who was sexualized by gross men against her will and treated as a replacable object until she broke free of her brainwashing by fusing with the faceless enemy monster characters but I guess we're gonna draw her fully human, in bikinis and lingerie, looking shyly at the viewer, in a sizable chunk of fanart. neat
My ongoing bitterness about the fact that Tamora Pierce actually did the "retcon this character's sexuality by Word of God for Representation Cookies" thing that people accuse JKR of with Gay Dumbledore, and these characters regularly make lists of "CANON ACE REPRESENTATION IN YA!"
