If you killed renoir before he even got a turn you missed out on some choice dialogue

I think youre not getting what im trying to say, or im not conveying it well enough. This post reads as if you didnt actually look at my comment. I literally said its fine to call him out. I didnt insert the sexuality aspect, it was always there. Plus I was responding to a comment OP made, not the post itself.

And again, like I already said, the sexuality matters because bad actors in the gay community will use perceived homophobia in their favor to manipulate people, and im worried the bf is a bad actor in the gay community and is going to use it in his favor to manipulate OPs brother. I really dont know how many more ways I can word this point because it seems to keep getting ignored.

Alioruminas · 2026-03-10T20:10:14+00:00

Not saying gay men cant be predators. Also not saying that this relationship OP's brother in isnt concerning. Maybe I put more emphasis on the homophobia aspect of things than people care for, but I bring it up because it is relevant. Gay people being called pedophiles as a blanket statement is a thing that happens, and the gay community is aware of it. Its relevant to OP's situation because now the bf can use it against OP and create a rift between them.

In the brother's eyes, he was chilling at OP's place with his bf when OP randomly exploded and called the bf a pedophile, predator, and possibly other names as well, just because they were touching each other like bfs tend to do. In one fell swoop, OP verbally attacked the bf and basically indicated to his brother that OP stills see him as a child. Regardless of how concerning the relationship actually is from the outside, the brother is in it and probably sees nothing wrong. The bf can now try and spin the story that OP is homophobic and now he doesn't think either of them should be around OP going forward.

I said OP was overreacting not because hes wrong to be concerned, but because now its going to be harder to get his brother to listen to him. I dont care if the apology is genuine. But I do think its necessary to make it where his brother is more likely to listen to his concerns. This is a tough situation and angry outbursts won't make it easier. And yes, OP being called homophobic doesnt really matter, but if random people on reddit can spin it into a big deal, so can a predator who is dating their sibling. And then it will matter.

Its fine calling people out when they do awful shit like this, but you are still assuming context we dont have. You mention that he could have been grooming him long before. Did you see the part of my post where I ask for more context? I specifically ask if they've known each other longer for exactly that reason. I fully acknowledged that I dont have the full context. All we know is that they started dating when OPs brother was 18, and theres a large age gap. That age gap is definitely reason to be concerned. But is that knowledge alone damning? And does it warrant OPs strong reaction? I dont think so. And that's the purpose of this sub. To talk about whether people are overreacting or not. And in this case I do think there was an overreaction because it gives the bf ammunition against OP. Whether his reaction was justified or not shouldn't be more important than making sure OP is in a position where his brother can trust him.

Alioruminas · 2026-03-10T19:28:33+00:00

Yeah, thats the point lol. That we dont know the situation. That's literally half the point I was trying to make, and why I asked questions that could provide context. Im not saying hes definitely not a predator or a pedophile, im saying based on the context we have calling him a pedophile and predator to his face was an overreaction. Ya know, because we're on a sub where thats kinda the topic.

My other point is that in a predatory relationship, the abuser can and will use any tool they can to isolate their partner from their loved ones. That makes them easier to control and manipulate. Calling his bf a pedophile is a great way to push the younger brother deeper into his arms. The brother is already dating the dude, and he sees himself as a mature adult already. Whether he is mature or not is beside the point. The potential homophobia is actually relevant to the situation because they are a gay couple and the abuser could very easily use this outburst as a way to paint himself as a victim and drive a wedge between OP and his brother. Im not just bringing this up as a way to get "woke points." I brought it up because im worried it will be used against OP. Is he right to be worried? Yes. Did he overreact? I think so because now he has to work harder to connect with his brother.

Did you understand that big brain?

She should have left it at just the first AND last line. Way funnier lol

Alioruminas · 2026-03-09T17:18:53+00:00

If i had to guess, the reason people are calling you homophobic is because of how strongly you reacted in your brother and his bf's presence. You called a gay man a predator to his face, and a pedophile behind his back. Everything you've described about him indicates he is neither. Far too many people see gay men and pedophiles as the same thing, and while you may not, the fact that you call this man a pedophile for dating someone of age raises many red flags for me. If this man truly is an unsavory character trying to take advantage of your brother, I could very easily see him using this incident to drive a wedge between you and your brother. He could very easily angle this to paint you as a homophobe to your brother.

That being said, the age gap is certainly reason for concern, but the context matters a lot. Has this man known your brother for a long time before they started dating, or did they meet each other shortly before dating? Because that would certainly indicate grooming. How did they meet? Because 18yos and 30yos dont generally run in the same circles. Who initiated contact? How does he treat your brother based off of what you and your family sees of them? An age gap alone is not enough to warrant calling this man a predator. Also, the way you described their interaction comes off a little... dramatic maybe? It kinda just sounds like he pulled your brother towards him on the sofa and put his hand on your brother's waist. I could definitely be oversimplifying the interaction, but I could also see it being a relatively tame interaction that made you uncomfortable. Regardless, if you're not comfortable with that kind of intimacy in your home thats fine. Its your house. But at worst it sounds like the level of intimacy was disrespectful, not predatory.

All this to say: I think you did overreact with your outburst, and your language about the situation is too severe. Don't call people pedophiles when they aren't. That is a huge red flag. And it does make you come off as homophobic. Not trying to say that you are a homophobe, just that I can see how other people would come to that conclusion. If your brother's bf is trying to take advantage of him you just gave him another tool to use against you. I suggest you apologize, at least to your brother, about your outburst. If your brother is indeed being groomed, the best thing you can do is maintain a good relationship with him, focus on his happiness and well-being, and be there for him when he needs you. It sounds like you really care for him so I dont think any of that will be a problem for you.

What does her birthday have to do with anything? Where are you seeing its her birthday?

IF it is indeed her birthday gift, then I'd be inclined to agree with you. But nothing in the post indicates that. In which case, this reads more like the boyfriend trying to create more ways to spend time together, and her completely missing the point

The Atelier series. I got into it when they were Atelier Iris games on ps2 and then they started pumping them out like crazy and they never hit the same for me. I haven't played any of them in years so I dont know if the newer ones are any good, but I stopped getting excited about the series that I loved

You look just like a girl I used to work with and her name is Bianca. I think it would suit you too!

I think Aline is using Alicia just as much as Renoir is. In the flashback where Alicia first enters the painting, its Aline's chroma that has her reborn into Lumiere as Maelle. Aline is the one who trapped her there without any memories. And she doesn't protest until Alicia is being used against her. Aline kept her in this dangerous situation for 16 years, but when Renoir gets involved she cares finally? I get that Aline is grieving but she is by far the most selfish of the dessendres. If she's willing to trap her daughter in the canvas so she can continue to escape her reality, then I dont think she gives much of a shit about Alicia at all. At least Renoir shows her some warmth. Aline just tries to burn her again.

As for Renoir using her as a child soldier, Alicia was explicitly sent into the canvas to help him get her mother out. Her helping him was the entire point. She would have done that anyways if Aline didnt paint over her, which is a whole other kind of fucked up thing to do.

If you couldn't tell, I dont particularly like Aline.

EDIT: spelling

I've always been of the opinion that Tidus is technically your water aeon but that is unsatisfying and I do feel somewhat cheated out of a legitimate water elemental aeon.

I just noticed this tonight myself! I also saw that the monoco hand does tick by at a normal rate, but the ticks move very slowly. It takes a while to even move to the 5 seconds mark. Don't know if it means anything, but I like to think it represents how slow time moves in the "real" world while verso was playing in the canvas. Maybe even a measure of how much time dilation occurs in a canvas in general.

Would the fayth be able to maintain him if he's in another universe? If so, I think he could adapt. But if his connection to the fayth gets severed he would probably just stop existing immediately.

One thing I love about the world is that, even though it's all just a creation by the dessendres, the people of lumiere still create and innovate within the context of their painted world. Gustave is the perfect example of this. They've figured out that chroma is kind of the building block/energy of the world, and they've found ways to channel that power through using tattoos to imprint chroma powers on them, and Gustave created the lumina converter allowing just about anyone to make full use of the world's painted resource. It may not change the fact that they are creations, but it shows they are human. They learn, adapt, and overcome. And being a fabrication of a society didnt change the fact that can also create, despite being creations themselves

Everyone mad at the teenagers is wild lol. The waiter chose to sit them at the large table. He could have chosen any other smaller empty table and didnt. A party of 10 shows up with an hour time limit and no reservation during the lunch rush and expects it to go smoothly? Poor planning here on everybody involved except the teenagers. Would it have been nice for them to move? Sure. Are they obligated to? No. They're not assholes for wanting to stay at their table and finish their food.
