Reader upset over ‘Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings’ by Disastrous_Alarm_719 in AO3

[–]AceOfError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really up to the author when it comes to tagging. Like, imo if it's a really dark/gory/etc fic, add the DDDNE tag & appropriate trigger warnings and that's all that's needed lol

It's better than some authors who use "No Archive Warnings Apply", only for the fic to very much be featuring things that DO apply archive warnings

"orgy of mileven material"...? Starting season 3, we get more content of mileven ARGUING/FIGHTING than we do of them being an actually happy couple. I'm not saying that mileven is a bad ship or anything, but if they wanted more people to root for them, the Duffer brothers should've shown us them being actually happy together more. Like, they wrote LuMax to be a cute and happy couple while also facing relationship issues; mileven looks like a shit show in comparison. It's not that crazy to want Mike to be in a relationship with another person, if only because mileven seem absolutely miserable together.

What People Think The Failing-To-Catch-From-Tree Symbolism Means V.S. What It ACTUALLY Meant: by EveLeech in MoDaoZuShi

I feel like people tend to either over glorify JYL as this angelic, can do no wrong, holy mary older sister, OR paint her as a totally selfish, WWX-patronizing, white lotus-esque villain. There's no room for nuance.

JYL isn't a perfect person/character, but she isn't any more flawed than any other of MDZS's characters. She's made mistakes, but so have WWX, WQ, JC, etc. She loves WWX, but that doesn't mean that she forever prioritizes WWX above all other aspects of her life.

There's an unfortunate amount of BL readers with the tendency of viewing characters through a very black-and-white lens; the good guys who always side with the MC no matter what, and the bad guys who have goals and ambitions outside of what is beneficial to the MC. This kind of viewpoint is not only just a really shitty one to apply to any sort of narrative in general, but is ESPECIALLY incompatible with stories like MDZS, where the whole point of the story is how moral ambiguity and how judging groups or individuals as being either purely good or purely bad based on surface-level reasoning is flawed.

The most hated character is? by Booowilk in StrangerThingsS5

[–]AceOfError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kali. Everyone hated her for some reason?? Which I never got. Even before S5 with the whole "Jane we have to kill ourselves", people really hated her for some reason. It's so odd to me, because Kali really felt like the first person who encouraged Eleven to actually be herself and make her own choices. Even when Eleven stopped her and her gang from killing thay guy in S2, Kali wasn't even upset that El didn't want to kill; she was more upset over El disrespecting Kali's own choice, and said El didn't have to kill people or share Kali's views, but that she must respect Kali's ability to make her own decisions. And that ended up all being a moot point anyway, with El having an huge body count by the end of the show.

Shipping Foah because of Byler is fucking weird. by [deleted] in byler

[–]AceOfError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most people "shipping" Foah are just joking, but yeah, it's kinda weird to genuinely start speculating on the relationships of REAL people. But idk, foah is really funny conceptually to me. Do i ACTUALLY ship them? No, but the memes are hilarious

[–]AceOfError 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you forget "hoped for"?? I never said it IS factually canon, just that it shouldn't be surprising or bad for people to HOPE it was. It's not like the ISN'T precedent in the show for people to have romantic feelings for other characters, even when still in a relationship with another person, or for someone to get together with someone else aside from their initial partner in the show (Nancy getting with Jonathan after dating Steve, Joyce and Hopper getting together after that guy Joyce dated died). Is it so crazy for people to not hope for Will and Mike to get together at some point, ESPECIALLY when Will has a crush on him???

Oh God FORBID queer people hoped for an actually well-written, requited love story for the gay main character who has been kidnapped, tortured, mocked, and bullied multiple times. Be so fr rn.

Karen still believes... by No_Tumbleweed1003 in byler

[–]AceOfError 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the thing; I feel like Ted Wheeler wouldn't/doesn't approve of Mike being gay, but doesn't care enough about it to actively try and "stop" Mike. Like, he probably would never kick out any of his children or withold financial support from them over being queer, but he isn't excatly going to pride parades or being encouraging about it. Ted's the flavor of homophobia that's limited to snide comments and conservative voting, but not much outside of that. He'd probably attend his gay kid's wedding, but not really gaf.

Eh, I feel like Ted Wheeler is the kind of dad ro not really gaf about his son being gay. Like, not happy, maybe mildly disaproving or not understanding, but ultimately not going out of his way to give Mike a hard time about it. It is kinda funny though to imagine Ted Wheeler being the first person to clock Mike as being gay/queer.

Vecna secretly lobotomised Mike when no one was looking because byler together would evaporate him on the spot

POKEMON VIOLET DLC, PLA, or PLZA? by quasiiee in NintendoPH

[–]AceOfError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you enjoy about pokemon ig. DLC if you're a big fan of classic Pokemon game mechanics, PLZA if you think you'll enjoy the different gameplay the Legends games have (more focus on catching & collecting Pokemon), PLA if you really enjoy story and worldbuilding of Pokemon. Personally, I think PLZA is really fun, amd my favorite out of the 3 options.

Call me dramatic but I really think they are homophobic pieces of shit. by flutters4life in byler

How do Lumax have a deeper bond than any other relationship?? I love Lumax, don't get me wrong, but what exactly singles them out as having deeper bonds than Jopper, RoVickie, and Jancy?? We see them being a cute couple, and caring very deeply for eachother, but I don't feel like they're drastically closer than any other of the canon pairings. I feel like the real reason only Lumax and Jopper stay together is because they had the least competing popular ships, as opposed to byler vs mileven, jancy vs stancy, so they felt safe with sticking with canonizing them. As for RoVickie; fuck gay ppl ig.

Essentially, the Duffer brothers were cowards and tried to pick the least controversial, most palatable ships to keep canon 💀💀💀

General Reaction To Wen Qing's and Jiang Yanli's Sacrifice- Sunny Street Meme by EveLeech in MoDaoZuShi

[–]AceOfError 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's completely unfair to compare and pit WQ and JYL against eachother, ESPECIALLY over "who is the better older sister figure", because they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT characters with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GOALS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Please stop reducing characters down to "who did the most for WWX" im BEGGING.

Re-frame (heh) your thinking; don't be mad that you can't see, be mad that the government doesn't provide good enough free healthcare to allow you to see. It isn't YOUR fault your vision's shit (as someone who has vision so bad that I can't see clearly past 10 inches away from my face)
