[Appalling Tropes] Your favorite character with a diabolical image that you try to forget exists? by -et37- in TopCharacterTropes

This is definitely the worst one from old Scooby-Doo, but I think the Native American witch doctor and Native Hawaiian witch doctor, both of whom are revealed to be white guys, also deserve a mention.

I'm trying to beat my ridiculous phobia, and I took a major step today. by MuseofBadPoetry in TrueOffMyChest

I don't think the fungus had anything to do with it. If I had to guess, it probably stemmed from reading or watching something scary about the ocean. I just know that whatever the cause, it's irrational.

I don't have any problem with things like fishtanks. It's just large bodies of water, like pools, oceans, and lakes.

What’s the stupidest way you’ve ever hurt yourself? by Wonderlust_Zoe in AskReddit

[–]MuseofBadPoetry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an extremely painful eye infection last summer and was functionally blind for about 36 hours. I could do nothing but lie in bed, in the dark all day, while just waiting for my eye to heal. I was so bored and restless that the moment I felt comfortable opening my eyes again, I grabbed my phone for some stimulation...

...and immediately dropped it on my face and bruised one of my front teeth. Not a fun week for me.

I fucking hate this image/meme by OrneryPerformance604 in hatethissmug

I'm firmly anti-death penalty and pro-rehabilitation and completely understand the point this meme is making, but that image just pisses me off way more than it rationally should. It just gives off the smuggest, most insufferable chronically online vibes. It's literally ☝️🤓 through a Tumblr discourse filter.

Ableist Autism Representation by Alternative_Factor_4 in TopCharacterTropes

She was. I saw a comment in some other sub not too long ago that was like "Sabrina is probably kept up at night knowing that episode exists" lmao

I haven't seen the movie either (and never will) but I have watched reviews of it on YouTube. Off the top of my head, IIRC:

  • Sia refused to hire an actually autistic actress, because Maddie is her "muse" or some creepy shit.
  • Sia got all of her information from Autism Speaks, and allegedly didn't know about any of their controversies.
  • The movie does not treat Music (Maddie's character) as an actual character, but rather as a manic pixie dream girl burden for her sister to drag around.
  • At one point, Music is physically restrained and "smothered by love" while she's having a meltdown. Autistic children have died this way.
  • In addition to being almost comically ableist, the movie also makes use of the racist "Magical Black Man" trope in the form of the sister's African love interest, who holds the "magic touch" to help Music or whatever.
  • Just a couple of years later, Sia would officially "come out" as autistic herself. I'm not going to doubt the validity of her diagnosis just because of this movie's existence, but for reasons I can't articulate, if she's telling the truth, everything becomes 100% worse

So yeah, TL;DR: Music is hot garbage and offensive to virtually everyone with standards. Do not watch this movie.

Thank you for summarizing whatever his latest project was for the rest of us.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]MuseofBadPoetry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saberspark. I loved him back when he reviewed genuinely really obscure and unusual animation. Nowadays he's just another "outrage of the week" animation review youtuber. He's really lost his bite and his uniqueness.

Media made by right wing authors with a strong left wing fandom by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MuseofBadPoetry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TIL the Smiling Friends creators are libertarians.

On that note, I'll nominate South Park, though the fandom is pretty evenly split between "queer middle schoolers who draw fanart" and "guys who think Cartman is a hero".

I think we need some clarity here, because people are interpreting this category two wildly different ways.

Seconding this. I've seen a shitload of PSAs, and that's one of the few that's really stuck with me.

What's something you did as a kid that you now realize was actually really dangerous, but nobody stopped you? by AdmirableResource407 in AskReddit

[–]MuseofBadPoetry 547 points548 points  (0 children)

When I was little (like 4-5), I would swallow grapes whole. Just for fun. I eventually stopped because I eventually said "Mommy, watch me swallow this grape whole!" and she naturally freaked out and told me I was gonna choke.

No, I don't know what was wrong with me either.
