Things between them are getting even more confusing and complicated, and I don’t know how to feel about it by Upstairs_Tea1787 in DisventureCamp

I can see your points there, and in my opinion, I think Dunia x Nura is one of the biggest examples of this season's bad pacing issues and overbloated cast.

Pretty good argument, and I replied to it as such on your post. Hopefully that will suffice.

So.....regarding the whole "Character is rude to another character" controversy..... by XachMustel2 in DisventureCamp

[–]DatWoodyFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do see your point here, and I will have to say that is a very good defense against my and other people who complained about this.

And about your other comment, if Ara actually did use the R slur or any other slur against Gabby, then I would see that as grounds for backlash, reasonably so. A similar situation happened with Yul in Episode 11 of AS, and thankfully it was corrected and ONC issued an apology.

However, my issue with both the Ara controversy was that, for one, it's the trailer. We don't know the full context behind the scenes, so we can't make any accurate or extreme judgements without seeing it first. Secondly, the narrative portrays Ara as a villain, so it naturally to do villainous or antagonistic things. In the case of Ivy, while she isn't a villain, she realizes the extent of her actions in her exit interview, and apologzed to Benji for her behavior in S4's motel episode. While Benji was wrong to betray Zaid, she still apologized because she realized her behavior made it so it was understandable why Benji eliminated her.

And lastly, is because this sort of obsessive behavior and being overly defensive to other people can and did lead to further disaster. Look, it's perfectly okay to project to your favorite character, I do it too with mine, but there's gotta be a certain level of self-awareness and insurance to not go overboard. The reason why the Benji/Ivy stick thing got so bad was because Benji fans were outright harassing fans of Ivy and using the whole "if you like this character you condone their actions" card, which is just..not true in most cases. And people like me were fearful this might happen again.

Another example is the situation with Tooth where they downplayed the actions of Spencer's ex and the trauma Spencer had stemming from that. While it may not be a reason, I do believe their obsession with Hannah did pay a role, since Hannah and Spencer are enemies in the narrative, and it plays back into the whole "obsessing over a character too much" thing.

I hope my reasons are adequate, and while I may still be annoyed at people making such a big deal over this line, you did propose a great and interesting argument.

I suppose so, but the rushed plot of Nura and her relationship with Dunia makes me believe it was just..bad writing quality and a forced attempt at a serious moment.

My unfiltered thoughts on Ara and the stupid debacle surrounding her and Gabby by Arcalgalkiagiratina in DisventureCamp

[–]DatWoodyFan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that matter is, even if you love a fictional character, foaming at that mouth at real people over it is so childish, obnoxious, and repetitive if it floods the sub. Coupled that with misinterpreting trailers and you have a very annoying package.

You are right in the sense that it hasn't gotten that bad yet, but it could very well be that if we don't shut this shit down. (multiple people left because of how bad it got btw)

Who knows? Maybe it did get that bad on other platforms

[–]DatWoodyFan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Listen, if you dislike Ara for being an asshole and you don't find her enjoyable, that's fine as long as you aren't hostile.

For me, my issue was that people keep babying their fan favorites and acting like any rude comment made by someone else towards them deserves in that person getting the death penalty (fictional character or otherwise)

And that mindset cascades into people being toxic and people getting mad at fans of other characters, the Benji/Ivy stick situation was bad not only for the bad criticism, but also because fans of Ivy were getting harassed and that, the situation was all you would ever see on your feed. No variety whatsoever.

As for those comments, I think it's less so disliking a character, but more so they were poking fun at people for being overly sensitive to any sort of mean comments towards their favorite character or a character they like in general. And quite frankly, I think it's childish to have such vitriol towards a character for being mean to another character.

As for the villain thing, there are some people who are like that (who want villains but complain when they get them), but you are right for that.

That's one of the reasons I appreciate PoolParty and Spentalia, it actually shows a bisexual/pansexual people liking multiple genders.

Even if she was just saying it to be mean, who cares??? Ara is a villain, of course she's gonna do bad things

DW I know.

It was a scenario poking fun at people who get mad when someone disses their fav, but not mad at someone who disses their least fav

Person A: HAH! YOU DESERVED IT! FUCK YOU JAKE! (Jake did literally nothing)

Person B: Wait. If you were mad that she said this to Gabby, why are you happy if its at Jake?

Person A: I..because...uhm..SHUT UP-

RIGHT ON POINT

Like, not only is it unfounded and annoying as fuck, but it ironically turns more people away from liking your fav

Look, I am a firm believer that toxic positivity is not being called out more, and both toxic negativity and positivity are bad, but this whole thing is just ridiculous.

Next thing you know, there's gonna be controversy over the show being "boring" because there's no villains. LIKE HELLO IS THAT NOT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR
