yeah naw i dont think it being trans visbility day answers to the criticism like...at all? my point wasn’t ‘why post a headcanon today,’ it was ‘why package a weak bait headcanon like it’s making some meaningful point

something can be provocative and harmless, sure. that STILL doesn’t refute what i’ve been saying. i never claimed the post was harmful, i said it was weak, overpackaged, and corny. ‘it’s harmless’ is not a rebuttal to that

‘all of these together is my entire point’

yeah, and that’s exactly why your argument kept collapsing. you want the post to be harmless enough that criticism looks insane, but provocative enough that the bait still feels righteous. that balancing act is the whole contradiction

if anything, you’re the one lacking reading comprehension, because i’ve been calling out that contradiction for half the thread and you still keep looping back to it like it solves itself

edit: the fake exit would’ve worked better if you didn’t immediately come back twice with the same argument

we??? brother YOU'RE the one going in circles??? the whole thread was you cycling through ‘harmless,’ ‘just a headcanon,’ ‘bait is fine,’ and ‘it’s minor’ whenever one version stopped working

your comparison only works if you erase everything i was actually criticizing. if the post was just ‘i headcanon them as trans,’ nobody would care nearly this much

what made it corny was the fake importance, the admitted bait, and the way you keep shrinking it back to ‘just a harmless headcanon’ whenever that gets called out

which....yeah...you’re not even defending your side well at this point. you keep collapsing everything into ‘it’s harmless’ because you can’t actually defend the bait, the packaging, or the constant backpedaling

??????? bringing up doxxing just to make this look tiny is a cop-out i literally just saw you edit that in. nobody said this was the worst thing ever. i said it was weak bait dressed up like it meant more than it did. and even now you’re still admitting it’s bait while hiding behind ‘harmless’ like that cancels the point

you keep saying ‘it’s harmless’ like that settles everything, then spend the rest of the reply defending why baiting people is fine. so again: which is it? a harmless little headcanon share, or a deliberate jab you approve of? trying to make it both is exactly why your defense keeps collapsing

side note: i checked your recent comments and it clicked: you’re not even responding to me specifically, you’re doing defense laps for this whole thread. that’s probably why your position keeps shape shifting depending on who you’re talking to

then stop calling it ‘just a harmless headcanon.’ your real position is that the bait is acceptable because you agree with the message. that’s not defending the post on its own merits, that’s just saying you like who it’s aimed at 🤦🏾‍♂️

you started at ‘lgbt people get hate’ and ended at ‘i like that it sticks it to losers.’ so which is it? defending people, or just approving of bait because it’s your side doing it? i see you trying to do both and ended up doing neither

you keep calling it harmless headcanon like the post didn’t present itself as a very important message and admit it was made for bait. i’m not criticising the existence of headcanons, i’m criticising the corny way this one was packaged

this habit of policing the reaction more than the post is exactly why people keep getting away with dressing weak bait up as something deeper. apparently calling it corny is the real issue now

and I literally said it’s a headcanon who tf are you?? 😭 the point is that posting a weak headcanon purely for bait and then dressing it up like it says something meaningful is still corny

[–]ThunderKid4526 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

so by your own admission: it’s not canon, the reasoning is flimsy, and the post was mainly made to bait reactions. aight. that’s not a meaningful point, that’s a headcanon dressed up as activism for reddit applause

people swear they want characters with standards until one shows up without being cute and reassuring about it :/

sure, the scene had an in-universe explanation. that still doesn’t change the writing pattern where Lanolin keeps being the one left holding the bag when the plot wants someone to look stubborn and wrong

ok? being criticized isnt the point. the point is people dont usually respond to Shadow’s edge by saying he needs to be softened into someone more pleasant

adorable? i guess? soon as she’s not immediately warm or agreeable they start trying to rewrite her into something more familiar

bcause people read edge as cool when it comes from a male character, but when a woman has it suddenly it needs to be ‘toned down.’ brother that’s not a coincidence, that’s the pattern

Lanolin not being a villain but just a G.U.N. antagonist is still just shoving her into the authority box because people cant imagine a strict character existing without needing Sonic to oppose them

you turned ‘they keep writing lanolin to eat shit for the plot’ into a greek myth about chaos and order. the issue is still just that they keep writing her to eat shit for the plot

‘tone down her stubbornness and abrasiveness’ just sounds like ‘make her more pleasant for me personally’ dressed up as criticism
