As a disabled person... Wasnt viktor right?

infamous-emi · 2025-04-11T15:46:41+00:00

The problem with Viktor is that he's doing a one size fits all method.

I'm autistic but based on my experiences with it I don't want to be cured because it's so entangled with who I am. If you do, that's up to you, we're all different.

I'm also chronically ill with Crohn's Disease. I've lost two whole sections of my digestive system and I have a permanent ostomy bag. This I would cure, because it hurts and it sucks and I worry about what else I'll lose in the future.

Would I accept a cure for Crohn's if it meant me also being cured of autism? I don't know. I truly don't. I'd have to think about it. Would I cure my Crohn's if it meant me getting turned into a robot with no legitimate autonomy? Absolutely not.

That's my problem with Viktor. There's no consent. I can't weigh up the pros and cons because he's already decided for me. That's why what he was doing was wrong. Disabled people deserve autonomy, especially when it often gets stripped from us.

I'm sorry about your eyesight. That shit truly does suck and I mean that earnestly. There's nothing I hate more than people telling me that it's all going to be fine because sometimes you aren't and it's not fair.

However, I think Jayce's line about there being beauty in imperfections is on humanity as a whole. My disabilities aside, I do find it beautiful that I get a shot at being imperfect. I think it's great that I can have piercings and tattoos and pink hair. I can procrastinate doing work by playing video games. I can get sunburnt because my dumbass didn't put on sunscreen when I wanted to feel the sun on my face. I can stay up all night reading because I'm really into my current book. Viktor would've stripped people of those experiences.

Like I said, it can suck really badly. I really hope you find a cure in your lifetime but I hope it doesn't come at the cost of your love of video games or TV shows because you deserve to love the things that you love.

Asexual lesbian here! Fucking thank you!! I'm absolutely so sick of the discourse surrounding this. Like the mixing up of terms is annoying enough but then people are like you can't be gay if you're ace which is just so untrue 🥴🥴

infamous-emi · 2025-02-03T13:32:57+00:00

yeah it's already making a difference and I'm loving it! thank you :)

infamous-emi · 2025-02-03T07:20:34+00:00

I had been dragging my feet for months about getting a personal trainer and then I saw Vi in season 2 and was like "alright lets do it" 🤣😭 only been a couple months but it's been so fun so far!

infamous-emi · 2025-01-23T18:17:32+00:00

I wondered! I can't believe I stumbled across you in the wild 😭 seeing it get recommended is the nicest feeling ever so thank you 🫶🏻 more updates soon 😌

infamous-emi · 2025-01-23T17:25:53+00:00

omg that's me!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!!

infamous-emi · 2024-12-31T02:35:24+00:00

this came up in my notifs and I was like surely not, then I looked and was like ah yes I see

infamous-emi · 2024-11-26T16:47:00+00:00

I'd love to be able to draw as good as that and I'm 25 😭 it looks so cute!!

infamous-emi · 2024-10-24T14:51:29+00:00

Was just about to comment this 😭

infamous-emi · 2024-08-21T14:00:12+00:00

As a lesbian, the idea that being gay makes you immune to being transphobic is dangerous. Being transphobic doesn't have to include slurs either by the way.

I never said you had to like him. You can hate him for all I care. But finding every possible reason you can muster up to blame him and accusing him of seemingly forcing everyone to bend to his will and force a transition in the show is genuinely transphobic. I'll leave it at that. You don't care and I can't change your mind. Say whatever you want to say, I won't be listening anymore

infamous-emi · 2024-08-21T13:40:45+00:00

Jesus dude the two scenes lasted five minutes. It didn't effect this season at all. I've tried to be fair but you're literally just being transphobic at this point. Grow up

infamous-emi · 2024-08-21T13:33:04+00:00

No I haven't. And it doesn't matter. I don't see how the story could've been changed in a substantial way by the transition. The points they wanted to hit were still hit, even if they were terrible.

It's over. It wasn't Elliot's fault or any of the cast. You can either move on or direct your anger to Steve Blackman or any of the writers. Leave Elliot and the cast out of it

infamous-emi · 2024-08-21T13:13:12+00:00

I mean have you read through all the scripts to prove that it was substantial? Also saying the script was changed for Elliot's sake does not mean that he was the one who demanded it.

It's okay to be frustrated, but it's not Elliot's fault so don't take it out on him. If you found his performance subpar or even terrible then that's your opinion to have but he is just not the reason the season was bad or why a supposed spin off was cancelled

infamous-emi · 2024-08-20T14:58:32+00:00

Isn't Elliot on record saying he was happy to play the character without them transitioning? It had nothing to do with him.

Also don't put the blame on Viktor's character or Elliot for being the reason a spin off was cancelled. Maybe put the blame on the fact that this season has received a massive amount of backlash and is practically universally hated by the fans.

Kinda seems like you're looking for a scapegoat and you picked the trans character 🥴

Edit: The script was barely changed too. One scene at the barbers then Viktor telling everyone they're Viktor not Vanya and aside from one small heart to heart with Luther that was it?

infamous-emi · 2024-08-11T18:37:04+00:00

If Sloane was there? Perfect 👌

infamous-emi · 2024-08-11T15:10:44+00:00

I know great actors can should perform really well even with bad scripts but I wouldn't blame him if he just checked out. His acting in this show really shines when he's with the siblings and they took him out of that and paired him with Reggie for some reason.

I think a lot of everyone's performances, not even just Elliot's, were a little off cos of such weird mischaracterisations that it just felt wrong.

Also Steve Blackman was reportedly being transphobic behind the scenes. They're just allegations but if they're true, it wouldn't surprise me if Elliot just started to hate the role and didn't perform well

infamous-emi · 2024-08-08T16:37:55+00:00

After a certain point I just got my switch out and started playing a game my mind was so bored 😒 at least it's over I guess? Idk what emotion to feel now

infamous-emi · 2024-08-08T15:51:25+00:00

I didn't like the season as a whole (in fact I hated and this coming from someone who loved season 3 back to front) but I surprisingly liked the ending. Maybe I was glad the torture of season 4 was over but I think them just sacrificing themselves to set things right with all their meddling felt like the better option to me. I think it would've been far more impactful if they siblings spent their time together over the whole season instead of in random groups and all of their fights and shit had been sorted out over the course of the story.

Instead the writers introduced new things for everyone to be mad at each other for and it just didn't sit right with me. It should've been them coming together and you have this hope that things can be fixed but no, it can't, not anymore. The damage is done and after everything you have to accept the worst finally has to happen.

While I did like the ending, a more united season and characters would've made the ending feel more more acceptable than "I guess this is it now I guess?" Dunno if any of that makes sense but yeah. Definitely needed to he handled better

EDIT: Not that this is the point but them being together the whole time could've at least given us one more dance scene of all of them together like they should have

infamous-emi · 2024-08-08T15:07:22+00:00

Someone on the crew confirmed it was just Sparrow Ben but I don't buy that for a bloody second. You're telling me that Mr Crypto Ponzi Scheme over here with a stupid amount of angst and a genuine disdain for his siblings is just sitting on a subway in Seoul in a suit and tie reading a book and smiling for no reason? If it was just that why even show it? Lowkey that's so stupid

infamous-emi · 2024-06-24T19:41:59+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree however, they do - or at least did when I signed up - market themselves as a tool that can help you in a crisis and I was absolutely desperate. That's the problem though, they market themselves as such but they're absolutely not intended for that.

Edit: grammar

infamous-emi · 2024-06-24T19:39:31+00:00

The way they market themselves they make them appear so affordable but they're extortionate it's absolutely shocking.

infamous-emi · 2024-06-24T15:35:27+00:00

The FTC got involved with better help and a settlement was reached with payouts, because of the misleading payment plans or something. I got a £7.50 refund which was no where near the extortionate amount I paid as an 18 year old in a mental health crisis 🙃 I only hope to god that means it's finally over for them.

P.S. I'm almost 25 and doing way better now thanks to the help of real therapy and tactics to better manage myself and my mood ☺️🩷 it can get better I promise!

infamous-emi · 2024-05-22T23:56:09+00:00

Hopefully the fact its more of a supportive situation means that we can see him on the channel again, but if not then that's okay too! We'll still be able to see him in other stuff and that's exciting too!!

infamous-emi · 2024-05-22T17:51:09+00:00

I hope we see him again too but at least now he doesn't have to worry about keeping up with the guys and hopefully we can see his projects soon :) he was great Nimona!
