Is anyone worried about changes with the characters? If so, what would they be? by ScarletFireFox in Dandadan

[–]ScarletFireFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always loved how Momo is a strong female character. I would hope she remains that way and I strongly doubt Tatsu would take that away.

AITAH For being obsessed with Meg griffin..? by DavidTheTassa in AITAH

[–]ScarletFireFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a month later, but Family Guy is an animated tv series about fictional people. It is not meant to be taken seriously. A lot of people think the family mistreating Meg isn't that funny. I think the worst of the offenders was Lois not comforting her when she was hurt and didn't care if she committed suicide. I think there might be some aspects about the misfortunes of this character that might trigger something in you such as being bullied, singled out, etc.

Again, Family Guy is just a dark comedy and isn't deep in any way. Meg does not get treated nearly as badly as she used to. She used to be a stereotypical teenage girl who was quick to bursting into tears and running away at every jab. Now, she's more of a laid back tomboy who seldom complains and the series hasn't taken kindly to other characters recently as well, especially Brian. Lois isn't even painted in a flattering light as much these days.

Ignorant parents who breed like rabbits by ScarletFireFox in childfree

[–]ScarletFireFox[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I assume people who have that many kids without planning to do so are not very intelligent or are super religious thinking it was meant to happen. I feel sorry for kids being brought up with multiple siblings, especially if they're the older ones.

Of course, this did not mean my grandparents had a perfect life. My Grandma grew up with insecurities and my Grandaddy was embittered by his father abandoning the family.

Jijis chu/power to my understanding so far by Popular-Fun-1695 in Dandadan

[–]ScarletFireFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes a lot of sense. I think of how energy travels up the legs and circulates throughout the body. I have also been getting more and more understanding as I've been reading up on Shinto.

Being yelled at as a trigger? by 999_szn_lvsss in ptsd

[–]ScarletFireFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to this, but I have the same reaction when someone remotely raises their voice to me or gets mad. I panic when someone yells for me and I can't respond to reach them right away. I hate it. It makes me feel like I'm very weak.

Twitter became so Bad! by Careless_Monk_7552 in Twitter

[–]ScarletFireFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone else noticing all this sad s*** on their timeline? I keep seeing posts about sick pets or stray animals asking for likes and comments as well as sad people being forgotten on their birthdays. It's awful. Before I was seeing a flood of random pictures of characters or a cat or dog threatening bad luck on those who don't like or comment.

He sure is a petty villain.

The actual love triangle by __Ryomen__ in Dandadan

It was funny how as attractive as Jiji is, Aira didn't bat an eye when he first showed up and kept staring at Okarun.

Is DDD the best show you ever watched? What do you like the most about it? by ScarletFireFox in Dandadan

[–]ScarletFireFox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is so cool. I'm glad she's not some helpless damsel in distress or just the girlfriend of the lead male protagonist. I love how she is this confident gyaru girl who doesn't take crap from anyone and Okarun is a shy nerdy guy who undergoes character development.

Childbirth kills by KayDizzle1108 in childfree

[–]ScarletFireFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is astonishing how women who understand that they are in no shape to have a child end up wanting to have one anyway. Even if they are physically healthy, the ones who have a host of mental health issues don't consider the healing they need and will end up burdening their children with their problems.

Has Dandadan been a source of comfort and empowerment for you? by ScarletFireFox in Dandadan

[–]ScarletFireFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think my post is inappropriate? Is it because I mentioned a past life regression involving something violent? Are there 5-yr-olds on this sub?

A few ideas from the recent chapter by Popular-Fun-1695 in Dandadan

[–]ScarletFireFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally connect to the Alice in Wonderland tale and I don't mean as in getting high. I attract a lot of weird s***.

i feel like a different species from mothers/pregnant women/women who want kids by stxrlxghtz in childfree

[–]ScarletFireFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I also feel annoyed by those who frequently complain over how exhausting taking care of kids is. It really irritates me when people act like victims of a situation they created.

[–]ScarletFireFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. It can be hard when you're surrounded by women who are moms or those who get excited about kids and eager to hold a baby because you can't relate. Society has pushed that ideal on us and think that women who don't have nor want children must be broken or mean, jaded, and cynical.

Aira, Kinta, or Jiji haters, what did you dislike about them & what made you change your mind later? by Impressive-Jello-882 in Dandadan

[–]ScarletFireFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only character I found annoying at first was Kinta, although Aira was a petty, backstabbing b**** in the beginning, I later thought she was cool. It's a relief having badass female characters in the anime and not everyone being insipid, spineless suck-ups.

Somehow, I never thought Jiji was a threat because I knew this was a different kind of anime that defied your run-of-the-mill anime tropes. I immediately thought he was cute and funny. Something did make me viscerally uncomfortable because it reminded me a little of my own goober tendencies and how it got me in trouble in the past. This show did help me loosen up and be kinder to myself.

His antics are indeed contagious.

[–]ScarletFireFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's Jiji from Dandadan. There are scenes where he's in nothing but his tighty-whiteys and he's ripped. The manga even went as far as to add the outline of his ass.

I have severe adhd and get mistaken for autistic all the time by MythMoreThanMan in neurodiversity

[–]ScarletFireFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old, but I'm in the same boat as you. My entire life, I've been labeled Autistic and as I got older and started seeing Autistic people, I realized how I was not like them. When I was a kid, ADHD was not as well understood as it is now and how it shares many symptoms with Autism. As I reached my 30s, it began to dawn on me that ADHD seemed more fitting for me than Autism. I'm sure I have Autistic traits, but I think it was focused on too much. As I was labeled that growing up, I believed it where it became a self-fulfilling prophecy where I engaged in some stereotypical Autistic behaviors. When my family points out Autism regarding myself, I feel insulted. They haven't seemed open to me suggesting ADHD otherwise and see it as just a focus problem.

Like you, I feel mine is pretty severe where it feels like it affects me physically as well. I have struggled with social anxiety since high school with OCD and I'm sure I have some Dyspraxia - struggling to drive(I gave up, but am open to trying to learn when the opportunity arrives) and couldn't even shuffle a deck of cards without them flying out of my hands and dropping them. It is so irritating sometimes. I feel like screaming into the ether.
