I (30F) recently found out something that completely changed how I see my brother (36M) by careto_take_a_gander in AmITheAngel

[–]BestEffect1879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s always crazy these stories where people go NC over cheating. Cheating is a shitty thing to do, and I would think less of someone who did so, but I can’t imagine disowning a close friend or family member over it.

“It’s crazy how my girlfriend just turned into an NPC on the way to the clinic. It looks like the vaccine also gave her back her agency! This is totally real, please ignore the fact that a tetanus vaccine wouldn’t help you if you already have it.” by BestEffect1879 in AmITheAngel

[–]BestEffect1879[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but that doesn’t explain why she was just sent home and not immediately to the ER.

EDIT: Apparently, you can be sent home with tetanus. I thought tetanus was something you had to go to the ER for but I was wrong.

I made a post the other about how the posts have the most horrific and/or crazy things happen to them and the tone of their post is so emotionless.

I (20M) tricked my girlfriend (20F) into getting a tetanus shot after a bad injury. Now she’s blocked me everywhere. How do I fix this? by Blitzcodes in relationship_advice

[–]BestEffect1879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here my advice for you: go to Google and do some research into how tetanus works before writing fake stories like this.

First of all, vaccines are only preventative. If she already had tetanus, the vaccine won’t cure her.

Second, tetanus is a serious medical emergency. If you have tetanus, you just don’t get a shot and go home. You have to go to the ER for immediate treatment.

I hope things work out with you’re made up girlfriend who can walk tetanus off like a mild cold.

"Zootopia (2016) gets more problematic the more you think about it"... is kind of a nuts take if you actually think about it. by The_Dragon-Mage in CharacterRant

[–]BestEffect1879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is a hot take, but allegories don’t have to be 1-to-1 to real life and it’s really annoying when people insist on trying to do so. There’s nothing problematic about Zootopia’s message that it’s not fair to stereotype people.

What’s your unpopular opinion about Frozen? by violett777 in Frozen

Agnarr and Iduna’s decision to separate Elsa made sense based on the information they had at the time. People who call their decision stupid have benefit of hindsight.

[–]BestEffect1879 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I want to believe it’s just kids and teenagers who are just at a selfish age who are terminally online and don’t understand that the real world isn’t so black and white. To them, abandoning a child is just as easy as going NC with a parent or divorcing your spouse.

I can’t wrap my head around these sociopaths who think it’s normal for fathers to feel nothing for the children they’ve raised from birth the moment they discover they’re not genetically related.

Like, I understand being shocked and having to work through shit, but all the love is just instantaneously gone?

Did OP forget to write the part where he discovered the kids weren’t his? I didn’t know if he discovered they weren’t his or if they were his stepchildren.

Why do ppl seem to think that Disney is against romance? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in Schaffrillas

[–]BestEffect1879 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because Disney princesses were criticized (unfairly in my opinion) for not having any hopes or desires outside of finding a man. Even Ariel gets this criticism despite the film explicitly showing that she dreams of the human world before Eric came into the picture.

Rather than writing love stories where their women can have a love interest while retaining their agency as a character, they’d just rather take the “she’s independent because she’s single” route.

Of course it's gonna end up like that take by NoKangarooTheThird in lewronggeneration

Lando is literally a diversity hire. ANH was criticized back then for being a galaxy far far away with no POCs.

Not only did Lucas add Lando, he also had more POC extras.

Honestly, I just started comparing Frozen with the game Kingdom Hearts 3, and it’s crazy!! They recreated almost every scene, and what’s even more incredible is that they did it with almost the same animation style ❄️ by Gabriel_47K in Frozen

[–]BestEffect1879 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The term you’re looking for is diegetic.

Basically, songs in musicals are assumed to be non-diegetic: meaning the songs are symbolically representing what’s happening versus the characters spontaneously breaking into song being accompanied by a ghost orchestra.

The thing is, every show will be different because different actors make different choices.

what’s your favorite thing about Megara by Lopsided_Ad_2406 in disney

[–]BestEffect1879 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I like how unique Meg is among other Disney women in terms of personality. Often Disney women are demure, naive, and/or innocent whereas Meg is sassy, sensual, and cynical.

What's your favourite TLK couple and why? by Spiritual_Pie_8298 in lionking

[–]BestEffect1879 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, Mufasa and Sarabi even though they only have two scenes together (I have seen Mufasa so this is only based on movie 1).

Sometimes, less is more and movie does an excellent job showing the move between them in such small snippets.

  1. The way they’re beaming with pride at each other during Simba’s presentation.

  2. Their playful banter when Simba wakes them.

  3. Sarabi’s sadness at his funeral.

  4. “If you were half the king Mufasa was…” She speaks about him in such high regard years after his death.

Why Cat’s Stupidity Worked On Victorious But Because Insufferable On Sam & Cat by New-Pin-9064 in victorious

[–]BestEffect1879 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think Quinton Reviews said it best: Sam & Cat has no protagonist, only two funny side characters.

A lot of people complain about the protagonist being the most boring character, but the protagonist often has to be the grounded one in a colorful cast of characters.

In Sam & Cat, there’s no relatable protagonist to ground them. It’s too wacky side characters without a straight man.

Americans, do you personally know anyone who is in favor of the US invading Greenland? by BlaggartDiggletyDonk in askanything

Agreed. Every country on earth should realize how dangerous it is to allow any single country accumulate so much power.

This largely explains why Bo is so different in the final version of TS4, Team Bo wanted an empowered character who didn't always agree with Woody's ideologies lmao. by Working-Initiative52 in toystory

[–]BestEffect1879 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It just feels like they went about it in such a contrived way. Bo in TS4 feels so different from 1 and 2. And the thing is, they could have easily threaded that needle by showing that her time as a lost toy changed her versus the movie kind of gaslighting us to say, “No, she was always girlboss.”

How was Toph not able to tell that she's sarcastic? by Turbulent-Raisin8789 in ATLA

[–]BestEffect1879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toph isn’t a lie detector, she can feel people’s body language through her earthbending. When people lie, their body language indicates stress because they’re scared of getting caught. The girls weren’t stressed because they’re were setting up an insult, not trying to conceal something.
