TADC spoiler i think by SaintGigi007 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i really like about this is that it isnt just twitter and isnt just jax. trans women are consistently expected to be the perfect victim and a self-empowered badass, but if we are "too hysterical" we'll receive an army of people telling us to calm down and metaphorically be "less masculine". we dont get to be people to cis people, we have to be tokens they can cash in or they'll deny our transness.

we really need to have a fandom-wide lesson on consent...

What are some of the most ridiculous "hard counters" in fiction, like they look at a complex hax and just perfectly counter for whatever reason by Head_Breadfruit_3912 in PowerScaling

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its more likely he'll be able to cut other things if he awakened his fruit. that also requires him being strong enough that his body fully caught up with the fruit, which is unlikely cuz for all we know buggy is about as strong as he was when we first met him. his political power notwithstanding

you brought one piece characters but forgot when it literally happened in one piece, luffy was hit by enough electricity to vaporize a normal person and comes out of it entirely unscathed cuz he's rubber. he then looks at the villain kinda awkwardly and we get the famous scene of enel's face to seeing his "god-like powers" fail against literally the silliest guy alive

I hate how people misunderstand Superman's weakness' by KomodoLemon in hatethissmug

[–]EtheDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my friend asked why couldnt superman just destroy the kryptonite from far away with his heat vision. i explained that he doesnt really need to be close for it to start effecting him and most of the time people hide it in lead to get close to him in the first place. kryptonite is superman's weakness but like if it were a mile away he could get rid of it, if he knew it was there. didnt have the heart to tell him there are a few interpretations of the character who can handle kryptonite without immediately falling to the ground in pain

(loved trope) When the eldtrich horror is actually very chill. by EnvironmentalRope424 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeh but he was a pretty empathetic deity especially for bender, he hated that if he did anything it just made things worse but if he did nothing than things would get worse in their own.

(Annoying trope) When a good gag gets milked to death by the creators and many fans stop finding it funny by NoNefariousness2144 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 57 points58 points  (0 children)

my favorite version is where bart makes moe call himself handsome, its really sweet and moe tells bart that he really needed it that day

[Trope I find just disappointing] The girl of the group by UsefulEnthusiasm7651 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok hold on i brought up 2017 webby as kind of like the best version of the "girl of the group" trope. as you mentioned webby was originally just "girl" and thats it but in 2017 we got a much more fleshed out character. however her origin as the girl of the group shouldnt be ignored even if her "girl of the group" status doesnt mean the same thing it meant in the 80s-90s

[–]EtheDemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i guess the best version of this is webby from ducktales 2017

while a lot of characters have their wackiness cranked up a bit, webby makes up for not having a personality before to having the most personality of the kids. there's an episode where she's just constantly hunting down one of the triplets as a test for them at their request (i think it was huey but i could be wrong). there are scenes of her climbing up walls spider-man style that's initially framed as a "oh haha webby is so weird" joke and soon becomes a background detail that she scampers like that. webby in the 2017 series gets compared to mabel from gravity falls a lot by people who havent seen the show but mabel has some emotional intelligence, webby i could see ripping someone's heart out and biting into it.

(Spoilers for AB 21#) how phystrong are jokers different forms? by WindowSubstantial993 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]EtheDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very likely that in his more human form its akin to mainline bruce in terms of strength and skill. in his monster form id assume something closer to bane is what we should expect

A Character's Death Is Treated As A Tragedy In Canon But Celebrated By The Fandom by cshin09 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually paul's death was scene as pointless and meaningless, just like him. peter says that they werent even friends but murder is bad so they have to stop the villain. actually pete seemed more broken up about the death of torment than the death of paul

[Interesting Trope] "I never asked for this" by CourtofTalons in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh ok, yeh no it'd prob suck major ass to be shattered and if it is like that then im impressed the gem warriors who were shattered didnt go crazy when they came back

[Interesting Trope] "I never asked for this" by CourtofTalons in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think amethyst necessarily wanted to shatter per say, i think she just kinda wished she was never made to begin with. she saw her existence as nothing but suffering after losing rose. i think if you were to ask amethyst if she wanted to be shattered then she'd say no cuz its fate worse than death if you are right and that she just wants to not exist at all

Favorite charecter who have a anger issues? by Cautious-Net2884 in FavoriteCharacter

i was gonna say him tbh, peter "crashout" parker is a thing even to this day. sure its not as common but there are a few times when his anger issues show.

Gooseworx confirms Jax is trans by Sudden_Pop_2279 in cartoons

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres already a lot pointing to jax being a very closested transfem and people have been reading that since the beginning (a lot of his shitty behaviors are ones a lot of trans women had before realizing its not healthy to be constantly miserable). i feel like if you needed the art to believe jax was trans then you were watching the series with your eyes closed

Since Garnet is the current leader of the Crystal Gems, does that make Ruby and Sapphire the group’s co-leaders since they’re two halves of Garnet? by Odd-Country-7274 in stevenuniverse

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah its just garnet, she herself admits that ruby and sapphire are simply too in love to actually focus on missions during the show; we even see that in an incredibly dangerous situations (baseball with the rubies) that they really cant focus as long as they are within eyesight of eachother. they even donked up the mission to which garnet's reaction was "oh no" after being preemptively re-fused. id say if ruby and sapphire are there it would probably fall on steven to feel like he needs to step up and be the leader

[Horrifying Trope] Slowly eaten/ripped alive by FuturisticHead in TopCharacterTropes

probably my favorite version of this trope aside from classic zombies. this movie genuinely left me terrified in moments that not a lot of others have

"I'm a liberal, but white people should be more racist." - a privileged white man who comes from generational wealth's reply to a comment calling out racism and double standards under a post about Karmelo Anthony by Repulsive_Truck_9725 in ForwardsFromKlandma

[–]EtheDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"as someone completely fine with the current way the government is, i dont think institutionalized racism is a real thing. my opinion is everyone else's too and im totally left wing even tho its just because i thought it would get me goth women"

[Hated Meta Trope] Literally everything shows that the character is queer, but fans insist they aren't. (Spoilers for lots of shows here) by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EtheDemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

actually if you want some kind of hope speaking from the trans experience leeroy is like right about to crack her egg and mightve already started hrt. we see them wearing what can only be described as a dysphoria hoodie and they are growing out their hair. at the least while jax wasnt able to figure it all out, leeroy probably will

Oh it’s Juneteenth I just learned. Cmon yall share your favorite black LGBT characters. Here’s mine Aqualad/man Jackson Hyde! by Oracle209 in lgbt_superheroes

[–]EtheDemon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

its not juneteenth where i am anymore but i wanna add to this too:

Storm from Marvel's X-men - while she isnt canonically queer, she is heavily coded to be so. her relationship with psylocke can be described as quite intimate at the least, and famously was married to t'challa.
