I love it when the relationship is so un-developed that the fandom just collectively hallucinates shit that never happened
Like guys we’ve breached canon, they literally interacted once.
TW FOR SU1CIDAL THINKING IM OKAY NOW IM TALKING ABOUT THE PAST
not to get vulnerable on main but a few years ago I didn’t think I’d make it this far in my life and I’m just amazed now looking at all these people that not only know me, but want to be around me. Like, people miss me when I’m not in the room. It’s bizarre to go half your life thinking that you could just walk out one day and nobody would notice to one day you wake up to people spamming you funny cat pictures or bugging you because they want to call you or spend time with you. I’m known. I’m loved. I made it. Happy birthday me.
Concept: a quiet horror novel, all lowercase letters and the characters are physically unable to shout or scream
I think most of the hatred that Caitlyn gets isn’t just the standard misogynistic hatred that female characters get, it’s hatred for the system she represents.
People forget that the enforcers are literally vessels to show Piltover’s dictatorship over Zaun. Enforcers started in LOL as a joke about police brutality (VI’s old attack names anyone?). In our current day and age it’s more than understandable why people might hate the character meant to be the oppressor. Caitlyn isn’t like Ekko or Jinx, she’s not fighting the system she’s a representative of the system.
I’m not saying nobody’s supposed to like her, the show wants to test your boundaries and make you think about stuff like this, I’m just sick of people not acknowledging the very real reasons people may not like Caitlyn. Right now in the US it’s not very fun or calming to see people fawning over a character that gassed a “lower people” with the way our politicians are acting.
I think what the biggest kick in the teeth is with the watcher announcement- at least for me- is knowing that they are NOT Netflix OR Hulu. they do not have enough content to hold an entire streaming service on their back. I get why they’re doing it and that just worries me more. They’re trying to make more money to support their growing company but they just aren’t Dropout, Netflix, or Hulu. With the big buck streaming services, they have enough content beyond their original series to keep people watching (ignoring the fact that most big boy services have needed to switch gears in their monetization to keep going) but watcher does not have that. in order for this change to work even remotely on their end, they’d need to kick into high gear and make more content. Like fast. Someone else pointed out that they’ve got a “two episode per month” schedule and that absolutely will not work for a streaming service. and of course everything I’ve mentioned is on their end, not even taking into consideration how many people are very visibly angry by this. What happens when they don’t have enough people sign up?
what a kick in the pants.
and another thing: no child should ever be made fun of for things they love especially by their parents
I thought I was done, but I'm not I guess.
I couldn't figure out why her response rubbed me the wrong way, and then it hit me.
"People should be paid fairly."
She's talking to us. She's talking to the fans as if we're the greedy corporate boss who won't give her husband the $1 raise at the end of the year.
It's like they forgot THEY are the company. THEY are the CEOs. We're not. If people aren't being paid fairly, that's a company problem. Not a fan problem.
I fully blame the acceptance of this behavior on the abhorrent representation in the show. Fans are sexualizing the one character whose sexual trauma has been discussed in show at length? Mayhaps its the show itself..
More bullshit I found on the hazbin subreddit
Im sorry but
What the fuck is wrong with this community!? Nobody would want to put cameras in people's changing room! (The original post was talking about Vox having cameras in Angel's changing room, btw)
A g1 stan will say “I have no problem with g3 catty’s body! it’s just her outfit that I hate.🥺”
And then immediately make her skinny again in their “fix-it” redesign. (And remove her micro braids but anti blackness is a different type of pungency for a different post.)
You’re not being slick. We do see that.
But then again this is the same people who freaked out and called Draculaura “horrifically obese” for… being mildly curvier and short.
No wonder they can’t handle an ACTUALLY plus sized character.
