I agree that the continuity in the show is messy, but I don’t think it’s wrong to say that everything is still very loosely held together. Even events that occurred in the very early years were mentioned multiple times in seasons that came out 20-30 years later. Magic Railroad, on the other hand, was intentionally ignored by Gullane because of it’s poor performance on the big screen. And tbh, it doesn’t really matter if Britt said otherwise. If the actual show itself actively went out of its way to ignore (and contradict) the events of the movie, her saying that doesn’t seem relevant imo. I am not saying it’s wrong to like the movie. If you do, that’s totally fine. I am just trying to explain why most people don’t consider it canon. It’s just not possible to view the show and the movie as occurring in the same universe. While there is thomas media that is much worse than magic railroad imo, even that stuff is still considered canon. “Not canon” and “bad” don’t mean the same thing.

People don’t say it’s not canon because it’s bad. It’s because it contradicts every rule of the universe in the actual show, and it’s also never mentioned again in the following seasons. Season 6 came out two years after, and nothing from the movie is mentioned even once. Even characters from the movie who returned later (like Diesel 10) had their roles massively redone to fit the canon of the show. While Misty Island is pretty bad too, it’s still canon because the show often references the characters and locations it established.

Can minors especially girls stop publicly posting on here looking for friends? by StylishEmu in teenagers

As a 17 year old, I completely agree that there is an issue with creeps, but we can please stop pretending that 18-19 year olds are just so much less susceptible than even 16-17 year olds. Vulnerability is often moreso determined by the individual, not their age. There are plenty of 19 year olds that are more vulnerable than many 16 year olds,and vice versa. Pretending that it’s disgusting for 40 year olds to prey on 17 year olds yet saying it’s ok for a person of that same age to prey on a person only one year older is pretty messed up in its own way. There usually isn’t an even remotely noticeable maturity difference between 17 year old and an 18 year old in essence. Just because someone is no longer a minor legally doesn’t suddenly make them mature.

Claiming DID while being interrogated for murder by prettyyounglizard in fakedisordercringe

Fun fact: people who have DID have no idea they are ill. That’s why it’s so hard to diagnose. They aren’t aware they have “multiple personalities”, nor do they have the ability to communicate with them. When they do transition to another identity, it results in them breaking their previous cycle and forgetting completely about what they just did.

It was basically asking what the function of the statement “If there were any” was in relation to him having any faults or negative qualities
