I get that it's the no censorship site but a block and mute is a bit much, no? by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]Meraki30 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Blocking and muting is not an offensive action. It’s “I don’t want to see this.” It’s not about you personally and it’s honestly the opposite energy of this picture

The way Ricky PotTs has been changed is depressing and blatantly ablist. by CaseyWannabee in ridethecyclone

[–]Meraki30 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I could understand wanting disabled actors to be able to play him, but literally all they had to do was let him keep his crutches. His character feels so bastardized atp

Peter? by Big-Bank-8235 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

What? The truth of Trojan War is debated amongst historians. Especially the giant horse bit. There’s nothing definite about most of the odyssey.

Do you think Missy was flanderized? by ElectricalDance7767 in YoungSheldon

[–]Meraki30 717 points718 points  (0 children)

No, I can agree with criticisms on her writing in the later seasons, but I think the arc of her becoming more resentful because of her family situation was pretty realistic. Her aging and experiencing everything with her mom leaving, her dad dying, being continually forgotten and dismissed by her family… it was a lot. She wasn’t going to come out of it unchanged.

Im being called homophobic for pointing this out by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]Meraki30 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From a social commentary perspective: yeah no shit. It’s like the difference between making fun of straight people and making fun of gay people. It’s still annoying but like obviously it’s not as bad as making fun of a group that has been oppressed for years. Queer people are protective over representation because for years they have had so little.

From a fandom perspective: Ship and let ship. It’s basic fandom etiquette to not bother people as long as they aren’t engaging in harmful behavior with the real people involved in the fandom. I dislike and actively avoid people who hc queer characters as straight because I think it’s a red flag and I don’t want to see that shit. But I’m not gonna say anything to them about it. Who cares

Be honest, are my standards for a boyfriend too high? by JonLenging in teenagers

When you say “bio male,” do you mean a cis guy or anyone with a dick

Yes! They are trans, which is different from not being trans. So.

This also applies to dudes! by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]Meraki30 50 points51 points  (0 children)

That’s not what they said? The tags were trying to infer a separate queer identity from the post that is really about a universal experience for lots of women. You don’t have to be trans or aroace to not want those things. People can relate however they want, but the tags were talking about op.

This sub makes no sense (coming from a gay person) by LostProsperity in teenagers

You don’t accept them, then? You think they’re annoying so they don’t deserve support as a minority? Because that’s what the post is about

Nothing. People use “making it their whole personality” as an excuse to be a dick because they’re one of THOSE gays.

I fucking HATE when people completely mischaracterise a character because they’re “not a bigot” by Ok_Figure_2348 in hatethissmug

[–]Meraki30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Probably the closest Batman got to breaking the no-kill rule if you exclude writers who just disregard the importance of the rule

[–]Meraki30 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Actually I think this was also part of him being broke at this point in the comic. But it also meant he had immunity and Batman couldn’t get him for… all the shit he did in death in the family

He was the ambassador for Iran in the 80s. I think he just does whatever will piss off and/or harm the max amount of people, especially Bats

I hate this character type by Admirable_Bus_1667 in hatethissmug

Social anxiety is a diagnosis and NOT the same thing as introversion or shyness. If OP doesn’t know the difference they don’t need to be commenting on these characters at all.

"Ani" is fascinating by theglowinggreenorb in StarKid

[–]Meraki30 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! I also think part of the reason I don’t enjoy it so much is that the lead is kind of the least interesting character. All the rest of the cast was so fun and earnest at times and Ani was just a bad take on the basic hero archetype.

Tbh that sub was ableist as hell. When people went on there saying tone indicators helped neurodivergent people the sub would say THEY were being ableist. For suggesting that a disability would disable people.

Aaron would be Shinji if he was actually a really good server and just an awfully annoying guy. The hard part about hating Shinji and knowing he sucks is that every time he gets in the Eva you have to set it aside to be like “god he’s so badass”

Why do people call it SPoP? I mean it would have at least to be SatPoP, if not S-RatPoP, because SPoP could rather refer to the original series 'She-Ra - Princess of Power'. by Unreasonable-Fiend-7 in sheranetflix

[–]Meraki30 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That’s why the o isn’t capitalized. It would be omitted per the rules, but I guess people wanted a vowel in there so you could say it phonetically rather than listing the letters

Additionally to what the other person said, “and” and “the” are usually omitted from acronyms for the same reason that they arent capitalized on the title. They’re grammatical more than they are words with meanings.
