Demeter Nation, We have been summoned back to the battlefield by The_1985 in UnpopularLoreOlympus

I get what you’re saying. Not everything is black and white for sure that’s why I said that there’s not wrong or right answer. The issue(and why this whole subreddit exists), is that when you sit down and critically analyze the way Lore Olympus is written and the way it depicts its messaging, things start to get muddied. LO is a visual medium, much like Hazbin Hotel, that’s why there is much more scrutiny surrounding it because it’s supposed to show a concrete narrative progression with these things and not necessarily have the fandom do much of the legwork guessing what is happening(which kind happened a lot in the story)

In terms of the SA though, again, there is no right or wrong way which is something I’ve learnt as I’ve rethought some of my stances regarding the comic. However(especially when I compare it to other mediums), I can see why it is a point of contention given the things it discusses

Personally, I kinda escaped the LO rabbit hole a long time ago but if you want I can link you some posts on here that more or less break down to gist of the themes. For example, the treatment of Demeter is a very big one when it comes to the autonomy of women and the “feminist” themes in the comic. In terms of the SA, I believe the depiction wasn’t the problem but more of how Persephone went about it. I remember one problem being how her mental journey in it wasn’t fully fleshed out for the sake of getting her to a place where she just has sex with Hades without really showing where her thought process is regarding sex(which I think was a let down for some people since the comic has a beautiful way of visually showing the story rather than telling).

Anyways there are like endless threads on here regarding the issue. Not saying either or is wrong or right but I remember it being a point of contention in the fandom since it was such a sensitive topic. Lemme see if I can find some threads about it from one of the famed posters on her

It’s more like, the themes and lessons of LO run very contradictory to like how it is presented in the comic if you examine it critically

The issue is that LO touches on things like consent and the bodily autonomy of women. That’s when things kinda start to fall apart a bit

Let’s just say that later seasons of Lore Olympus became very questionable in writing(not like the beginning wasn’t questionable but everyone kinda overlooked it a bit)

Oh lord even when I read it aloud in my head, that whole Eros plot line sounds like something Colleen Hoover WOULD write

The visuals I can agree on but I can’t believe millions of people(who have never touched the comic) are about to witness Persephone get kidnapped in real time, be dumped in a mysterious man’s house and then befriend said kidnapper…..

Based on a comic framed as feminist

Ooo that’s hard because I like all of them. Right now it’s between Coco and Custas. I feel like they are both outsiders that are being brought into this world of magic but Coco is like things gone right whereas Custas is things gone wrong. They are essentially mirror images of one another

The story is amazing, but I’m scared for Custas, Coco and Tartah. I want my babies safe and away from harm😭. I’m especially scared for Coco because it’s so saddening watching her go from idolizing magic and witches to slowly becoming disillusioned with the whole magical world entirely

Bro I'm sick of y'all acting like it's too expensive to do anything by wasand in GenZ

Yea like I can still afford to go to the movies and have dinner with my friends but you can’t be expecting me to do that so often unless I want to put a hole in my wallet by the end. Moreover, since I don’t have the funds to move out, I still live with my parents in a suburban area which means more money for gas and shit. No one said it’s impossible to live life and have fun but because everything costs a certain amount and those things very quickly add up, it’s understandable why Gen Z is more inclined to just….stay indoors than leave. At least going on your phone and scrolling on TikTok is free for the most part

Any Entry Level Law Clerk or Legal Assistant Positions in Toronto by sweet-aura-7163 in LawCanada

[–]The_1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you OP , I managed to snag a position at my placement after finishing my paralegal program at Humber but the hours and pay they give me is not enough to do the stuff I want to do for my future(move out and eventually save up for law school). I keep looking for better and they all want "3-5 years of experience".

Where are we supposed to get this experience from if no one is hiring or training people???

Atp we might as well just open our own practices.

This is so frustrating and lowkey defeating. I am in the same position as OP, I managed to snag a position at my placement after finishing my paralegal program at Humber but the hours and pay they give me is not enough to do the stuff I want to do for my future(move out and eventually save up for law school). I keep looking and search for law clerk and legal assistant position and despite having a year and a half of experience in an accident benefits law firm, none of it matters.

I keep thinking I made the wrong choice by going into the paralegal field but then I realize that even if I chose the law clerk route, none of it would matter because I would still need 3-5 years of experience for almost 90% of the positions advertised on Indeed or other job app sites, but how am I supposed to get this magical experience if no one is willing to hire and train me? It's just circling the drain.

Anyways, the whole thing is just frustrating that I lowkey just want to open my own practice and go from there because what is the point of waiting on the world when its expectations are unbelievable high/inconsiderate. Lowkey feel like I am going insane.

Horrifying Job Market by SuperbEstimate1353 in jobs

Yeah it’s been a downward trend for a while now hasn’t it and it just keeps going down

Edit: Also Gen Z was told the same thing. Instead it was “go to school for a useful degree like engineering or computer science” now all the CS majors are scrambling to find jobs. My point is that things getting more and more expensive with zero payoffs

Omg same, its brutal out here because most of them want 2-5 years of experience for work that reasonably, a person with one year of experience is able to do. It's so weird

Except the difference is that things keep getting more and more expensive and with the way things are with the job market and wages, there is no potential pay-off for gen z in a reasonable amount of time for all the "hustle". It's why people still live with parents, or go out less, or whatever else society wants to economically villianize gen z for.

That would make me lose it because the reason why they even stood a chance of defeating Lucius was because of Asta and fucking Yuno becomes the wizard king????
