the other thing i find completely pointless about stan culture is the idea that all characters we like must be perfect and the ones we don't (they wronged the ones we like) must be evil. there's 0 nuance and tbh? i like my characters imperfect? that's what makes a story

Scott Summers finally being cleared of the cop allegations from people who don't read comics only for Steve Rogers to get hit with the cop allegations a few weeks later... X-Men '97 giveth, X-Men '97 taketh away.

Ppls reading of new xmen is so shallow like im sorry you guys do not like soap operas is all im getting and the xmen is one. Emma and Scott end up realizing they can accept each others imperfections, like who they r together + see room for growth w each other its not complicated

In 2010, Haim Saban bought Power Rangers from Disney for $43 million.

In 2018, Hasbro bought Power Rangers from Saban for $522 million.

In 2024, Power Rangers isn’t making enough money for Hasbro to care enough to make its own toys and is outsourcing it.

Conclusion: lmao

John Phipps: Big Hairy Burly Muscle Guy when their entire identity hinges on being a white victim i imagine they can only interpret things in the world as supporting their manufactured reality or denying it—the result is endless mental gymnastics to make absolutely sure their victim status is maintained

I hope he gets whatever help he needs, and leaving Twitter is a good step, cause he’s been like this on Twitter for years now…

I don't have the know-how to write it, but I'd definitely be interested in an investigative report about how foreign game developers feel with the U.S. taking a 'Sell your product to an American company or be banned' stance.

'media doesn't affect reality' no actually I think having east asians always be pale in both eastern and western media, only ever casting lighter east asian actors, fetishization ect. is rotting people's god damn brains

But all things considered, the fans are telling Hasbro that's what they want. They eat up D&D as a 'lifestyle brand,' and they want it everywhere and anywhere. Hasbro is leaving money on the table not releasing adult-targeted D&D cereal, toothpaste, and muscle relaxers.

idk w the scott/emma/jean affair arc i think the stan war angle of 'one is completely wrong and the other is a conniving bitch' completely negates any nuance of a complex story that is ultimately very /human/ and tbh is usually fueled by misogyny

It's wild that it took nearly 20 years for western fandom to realize Evangelion owes so much to Ultraman

analysis focused entirely on Mecha Deconstruction, from people who saw like 1 mech show and no toku. Dire shit.

MLK warned us about these mfs. If you really think non violent protest is more of a threat to humanities well being than the literal execution of toddlers then you have a fundamental belief about which lives matter and which don't

🚨I don't want to be a drama, but I wanted to tell you that if we were bombed in this war and died. Please continue publishing. I have advised the bank account holder to deliver money to the poor in Gaza if anything happens to us. gofund.me/34d4a96f

past lives was fun but the film that trulyencapsulates the quintessential asian american diasporic experience is harold and kumar, it’s a fact

regular meghan 나영지 🇵🇸🍉 I dont think this is a jab at koreans liking american things but more so a critique on the asian diaspora who live in the heart of the empire and have a certain mindset too focused on their own identity issues rather than engaging in global solidarity beyond identity.

actually saw a lot of tweets from native koreans that were super kind and interested in the korean american experience after this movie came out, which is a nice counterpart to whatever this is but stay mad, kiddo
