    Guess what you sniveling whiny gatekeeping pendant, you're right, Taliesin plays Molly the way he does specifically to piss you off. You've cracked the code my friend, you have done it, you will save us all you are a goddamn hero. what would we ever do without you

    I stg I don't know how those guys have managed to make it 3+ years with pedantic whiny bitchy D&D fanboys breathing down their necks without throwing up their hands and going 'THAT'S IT FUCK ALL Y'ALL SHUT IT DOWN WE'RE GOING BACK TO TRAVIS & LAURA'S KITCHEN TABLE' like fuck me, that kind of will power is something to be admired.

    I remember discussing Death of a Salesman in class once. The lady next to me and I were like, the real tragedy is untreated mental illness. The rest of the class was like, the author probably didn’t intend to write about any specific mental illness or even know that much about it. We were like, that doesn’t mean he was incapable of observing humans and writing a character who would ring true.

    I don’t think either of us would have pressed the issue except the rest of the class seemed so uncomfortable speaking openly about mental illness at all that it pretty much became a stigma battle.

    It can get ridiculous really fast though.

    "caboose is gay-coded"

    uh, dude, he literally had a crush on sheila.

    i ship churboose a lot but caboose doesn't have to be gay to be in love with - or lusting after church. he can be bi or pan!

    where the fuck did you even get this Hot Take and can you return it to the Hot Take store please and get a new one?

    Ho boy, this just brought up a gripe thats been festering for legit five years - I used to see a lot of TFP orientation headcanon charts that would have Bulkhead as asexual, and very few to no other characters.

    [​IMG]

    Bulkhead is the green guy in the back. He's also coincidentally just about never drawn or written in sexual contexts, despite being one half of a bromance that had one other character literally ask "So who's the boyfriend?" when the other half of said bromance turned up the first time.

    I am aroace and still have a gf myself, so I know asexuals turn up in all sorts of relationships, but I looked at the frequency of these posts and the utter lack of damn near any content for him, and then I looked at Bulkhead's design, and I thought to myself, "Why am I not surprised?" Like, yeah, headcanon the only character without the Heroic Dorito Build as ace, and only him, and then proceed to do literally nothing with him while shipping everyone else every which way, that won't make people feel like you're trying to find an SJ-Approved way to get the Ugly One out of the way, no sir.

    spockandawe soft and woolen and writhing with curiosity

    (and bulkhead is such a good boy. it's pretty transparently not a personality thing, because he's a huge sweetheart. he's just got a design that isn't made to ping people as 'ooooh HOT')

    > follow X for better-than-average opinions and stanning an antagonist hated by the western normie fandom
    > X constantly dunks on the other two antagonists but especially the one you wanna fuck

    "the new chapter was good! too bad Y was in it" shut!! up!! I don't want to know

    you'd also expect her to understand that insisting her sad murderboy is not pure concentrated evil while denying the author's exact words that there are no villains in this story is maybe not such a good look

    unrelated: how can you claim to stan a character while also praising his brother’s fucked up abuse and going on about how his brother “truly loved him”

    They probably are, I don't go super deep into the fandom tags cause I'm not caught up. I don't see a lot of Naruto discourse on my dash. It's too bad that people are stanning the worst characters - it always seemed like there were a lot of characters to me, so you'd think they could find someone else to make 'hot takes' about.

    sadly, sasuke discourse, much like vriscourse, is eternal

    I like Itachi a lot and I do think he really loved Sasuke but he did Everything wrong

    that’s why I like him

    characters who did Everything wrong are more fun

    I'm having a huge chuckle fest because my pal who follows homestuck stuff has had this common gripe - it seems that there's a lot of Soft Homestuck stuff? Like uwu 'character' did nothing wrong they're perfect and soft and this is The Truth
