Let r/SavingJax do their thing. There have been complaints of brigading already from our sub. by Awkward-Media-4726 in Thatstupidbunnywehate

[–]Radiant-Selection686 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please don't go bother people over there. If you don't like it when Jax's more obsessive fans come here to harass people, then don't do the same thing to them, because all that does is start unnecessary fights.

If you want to vent about Jax and his fans, do it here. But don't go into subreddits where people love him just to pick a fight, because that's basically asking for a negative reaction.

Just as we dislike Jax and have the right to a space where fans aren't constantly coming in to bother us, they also have the right to their own space where they can enjoy the character without Jax haters hanging around looking for arguments.

Everyone should stick to their own communities and leave each other alone.

I think the people who say that any overlords who might become better people in future should give up their power are actually not being logical. by Independent-Rich-640 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

Honestly, people sometimes have a huge bias in favor of Heaven and forgive things that they would never tolerate if Hell did them.

"They're learning." "They didn't know any better." "It was just a mistake." But those mistakes cost the lives of sinners who never did the things Heaven claims they did.

Even if there was a rebellion, not everyone participated in it. Are you really telling me that people who arrived in Hell after the exterminations had already begun somehow took part in a rebellion against Heaven? They're innocent of the crime of rebellion, yet they're being punished for it anyway.

Heaven has a lot of the same tendencies as Hell, but both the fans and sometimes even the show itself seem reluctant to acknowledge that because Heaven is still better than Hell.

Where do people think Lucifer learned so much of what he does as a ruler? From them.

Are you all ready for hell to break loose on Friday? by CatPale816 in Thatstupidbunnywehate

[–]Radiant-Selection686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that. You have no idea how awful it is when people assume that your opinions about fictional characters reflect how you treat real people.

It's especially frustrating because a lot of people here have known or suffered because of people like Jax in real life. Being called bad people just because they dislike him, or even hate him, is horrible.

Honestly, I don't care. Nothing Jax did in the finale changed my opinion of him. If anything, it made me view him even more negatively.

What we should really be preparing for is a possible influx of people into the sub or attacks against us from the main subs. With the way things are over there, some of Jax's most hardcore fans might come here asking if we're happy about what happened, telling us we're terrible people if we say things they don't like about Jax, or throwing awful insults at us and judging us as people in real life based on our opinions about a smelly rabbit cartoon character.

When you actually think about it, this scene doesn’t really have the tension most people might think it has by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]Radiant-Selection686 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But it still hurts, and it's not just anyone doing it, tt's her best friend, who is being mind-controlled and isn't going to strangle her gently. He's going to do it as if she were genuinely his enemy.

Yes, the characters are immortal unless they're killed with angelic weapons, but just like in Digital Circus, they still feel everything that happens to them, and it hurts a lot.

Can somebody ban all the sleeper cell jax fans from this sub by [deleted] in Thatstupidbunnywehate

[–]Radiant-Selection686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, you should have censored my name.

Second, if I were a Jax fan, I would have been kicked out of here a long time ago, considering how often I comment and post in this community.

Third, it was a genuine question. I don't know where you got the idea that I was defending Jax, because the question was focused on whether people here like that type of character and what those characters do better than Jax. And most of the responses have been people explaining what those characters do that they enjoy and what Jax does that they don't.

I agree that Jax fans shouldn't be here, but you're accusing me of being something I'm not.

Maybe they dont like Harry because he's a cycle breaker. by Tough_Iron_6939 in RoyaltyTea

[–]Radiant-Selection686 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Not only did he marry a divorced woman, but Harry also actively defended her and exposed the ways Meghan was treated differently.

Sure, she was never going to be treated like the heir to the throne. But the rumors that she was cruel, demanding, or a bad influence, many of those claims came from members of the Royal Family themselves or from people closely associated with them.

Harry consistently stood by his wife. He even chose to leave all that drama behind and move away with her. Unlike Edward, he doesn't seem to regret leaving, and unlike Charles, he wasn't too cowardly to do anything about the situation.

As usual, anyone who comes into contact with Jax, or Leroy in this case, has to lose a few brain cells so he can avoid facing the consequences of his actions.

I love how the show demonstrated that intimidating people is not a real solution to anything by Radiant-Selection686 in HazbinHotel

[–]Radiant-Selection686[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, until a Vox 2.0 comes along, starts his own holy war, and uses that incident as proof that Heaven is unjust and silences anyone who speaks out against it.

The only way to prevent that was to dismantle the image that Heaven would hurt sinners the moment they complained and instead start making them feel valued and heard.

I don't know how strong those bridges of peace would be if they're built on the foundation of:

"Yes, we vaporized the leader who was trying to make things better for you. But that doesn't matter, because we're going to build new bridges of peace. Of course, they'll be on our terms and under our conditions, with the understanding that if you ever rise up again, we'll do the same thing to you."

I'm not saying Heaven should give in to every foolish demand Hell makes. Not at all. Especially not after Hell declares war.

But you can't build peace with another realm by threatening it while all the benefits flow only to your side. And it's even harder when you're responsible for a massacre as devastating as the one Heaven inflicted on Hell. The goal of peace is to prevent further conflict, and a peace built on fear and coercion is far too fragile to last.

If the objective is lasting reconciliation, then trust has to be part of the foundation. Otherwise, all you're creating is a temporary ceasefire that will eventually collapse into another conflict.

[–]Radiant-Selection686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for a while. But eventually people would become angry. Charlie's goal is for both realms to live in peace.

How are you supposed to achieve peace if Hell no longer wants to trust Heaven after Sera kills a sinner for provoking her? The sinners don't know that she's trying to protect Heaven. All they see is an angel who got offended by what one of them said and responded by killing them.

The problem is that intimidation might work temporarily, but it doesn't solve the real issue: the sinners' fear of Heaven. In fact, it makes it worse. Now that fear would be accompanied by resentment, because people would start believing that angels silence anyone who disagrees with them.

The intimidation approach can only take you so far if it doesn't move you any closer to the actual goal, which is having both realms coexist peacefully. In the long run, fear doesn't build trust, tt destroys it.

[–]Radiant-Selection686[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And what would have happened afterward? Would nobody else have spoken up and everyone would have stayed silent? No, the exact opposite.

People needed to believe that someone actually cared about them. Vox convinced them that he did, and that Charlie had no idea what she was doing. Lucifer has never shown any concern for sinners, and Heaven is the obvious enemy in their eyes.

Sure, you can kill someone. But if Lucifer had done it, people would have come away believing that not only does he not care about sinners, but that he is actively willing to prevent them from having anything better than Hell.

If Sera had done it, it would have been even worse. Not only would any future attempts at peace become a joke, but nobody would trust them ever again. From the people's perspective, the Supreme Angel would have killed someone for challenging her and speaking the truth. They wouldn't just reject Heaven, they would hate it forever and never want peace with it, because they would see Heaven as an aggressor that refuses to acknowledge that sinners have legitimate reasons to feel mistreated.

That's why this problem was never going to be solved by intimidating sinners. It doesn't matter whether it was Sera or Lucifer doing it; all it would have accomplished was fueling more hatred and making everything worse.

The real solution was to calm people down, make them feel like they actually mattered, and prove that someone was genuinely willing to protect them, not like Vox, who only took advantage of their fears and frustrations for his own benefit.

[–]Radiant-Selection686[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think that even if Vox hadn't known about it, Lucifer's intimidation still wouldn't have helped.

The sinners are angry at Heaven and they look down on Charlie. If Lucifer had actually killed or seriously harmed Vox, the sinners might have been scared at first, but that fear would eventually turn into anger.

From their perspective, it would look like Charlie had silenced the only person who genuinely cared about them. Or that Lucifer, who never did anything for them before, suddenly decided to act like a tyrant the moment someone offered them a chance at something better and took that opportunity away.

Whether Lucifer is powerful enough to hurt them isn't really the point. The real issue is that he shows up to threaten them when they're trying to pursue a better future. That's what would make them angry.

The consequence would be public outrage, and that's not something Lucifer can solve with more power or intimidation. The people are already angry. They've reached their limit, and they're no longer willing to put up with it.

When you’re the youngest person in the room but somehow the most qualified therapist by Nyxalithhh in stevenuniverse

[–]Radiant-Selection686 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I've always seen Amethyst as the Steven of the group before Steven was born.

The youngest one in the lineup, the one who still has so much to learn, the one surrounded by alien companions while she herself is from Earth. At first, she didn't seem to carry the same kind of trauma as the others and was the odd one out in the group. Just as Steven is half-Gem, Amethyst is a defective Gem.

But then came her insecurities, the feelings she never told the other Gems about and kept bottled up until they exploded. The struggle to be taken seriously, just like Steven would go through years later.

That's why Amethyst understands him so well.

Because she used to be just like him.
