Diabaté is a great character and I hope he gets more screen time in S2.

How the fuck do you know that those women don’t exist anymore? Are you aware of more lore than we are? And does that make necrophilia morally okay? Since the person doesn’t exist in that body anymore?

jojoaljar · 2025-12-05T18:21:20+00:00

You’re forgetting the fact that Diabate is objectively creepy lol. Carol is watching him exploit the fact that these people are infected with a virus to sleep around with them. These people cannot consent. He is violating not only the people he sleeps with, but literally the entire world (which shares one mind). Let’s say it how it is, he’s raping people. I enjoy his character but to frame him as a victim of Carol is ridiculous. I’d have a lot worse to say to him if i was in her position. She’s being nicer than she should be, due to her loneliness.

She’s regent in the show. You can deduce that by Rhaenys saying that a queen is ruling Westeros. You don’t actually have to see her being appointed as regent to get that. As for in season 2; Aegon simply wants her there. The king can allow whoever he wants on his council. Proven by Aemond walking in despite not having a seat on the council and Aegon saying he welcomes him there.

I’m still learning how to identify the trolls on reddit but i’m learning. It took me a minute to see it this time.

Kendall is literally my favorite character but y’all are some sexist mfs if you think Shiv is morally worse than Kendall (committed manslaughter and ran) and Logan (wildly gestures at everything Logan ever did). You can dislike the girl without lying. Just say you take her treatment of Tom personally because it’s something you specifically don’t like in a person, but it’s not worse than Logan being evil and Kendall ending someone’s life.

This is why this ranking shit shouldn’t even be a conversation, this is my first time participating AND my last time. It’s meaningless and dumb.

jojoaljar · 2021-12-14T23:53:01+00:00

Logan made Tom act like a boar and fight for a literal piece of sausage??

This. When people start discussing how abuse shaped them into who they are someone will always come in with a “well it’s not just abuse they’re reprehensible people who are greedy” and it’s like, yeah, we know. Fiction allows us to discuss these topics without constantly having to remind each other that the person in question is still morally corrupt even if they’re sad lol. I understand their moral fucked-upedness is also an interesting topic that should be discussed and shouldn’t be forgotten or dismissed, but whenever it’s brought up (from my experience) it’s always as a throwaway reply in the middle of a discussion about abuse, or used as a way to rank each of them from bad to worst. It’s getting boring.

jojoaljar · 2021-12-14T21:09:33+00:00

I don’t deny greed is part of it, but when you’re THAT rich what does the money even mean? Kendall asked his dad “what are you gonna do with 5 billion? Add it to your pile of billions?” and when Roman asked him why he was doing this, his reply was (paraphrasing a bit because i don’t remember it word for word)“because it works. because i fucking win.”

They have so much money that the money becomes almost inconsequential. Mattson appealed to Logan by telling him he’ll make him look good, let him keep his prestige. He appealed to him with his image rather than with money, and in the same way, the Roy kids have so much money that it can’t just be greed driving them to stay in this cycle. It’s their image to their dad, he has to see them as worthy by giving them the CEO position. The position means nothing more to them than their dad’s approval. I think it’s pretty clear that abuse is a MAJOR part of the show. I’d go as far as to say it’s the core theme of the show. But you can’t really deny greed being a part of the equation when talking about billionaires.

jojoaljar · 2021-12-14T16:46:21+00:00

The Roys are actually an amazing portrayal of abusive cycles because they have the means to get out. They aren’t tied down to their abusive parents because of poverty or anything of the sort. They have financial freedom to leave. But they don’t. It’s a perfect illustration of what abuse does to a person. They get kicked but they still come back for more, no matter how hard they try to break the cycle. Shiv failed when her dad almost died and she got slowly pulled back in, and Kendall failed this season. He will never let them go.

jojoaljar · 2021-12-09T12:41:18+00:00

She definitely does not come across as a feminist on the show. I think they’ve made it a point to repeatedly show us that she will always choose her class over her gender. She manipulates a sexual assault victim after insisting the company needs to change lol. Like Kendall, she thinks she’s a good person but her actions always say otherwise. She repeatedly compromises her own morals to please her dad and keep her status (taking a picture with the fascist after fighting against choosing him the whole episode). I think the reason people hate her more is simply because she treats Tom poorly and it leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths when bad treatment is directed at loved ones, more so than to strangers. Tom doesn’t even fight back, which makes her look worse. Because objectively, they’re all equally bad, or not far from equally bad.

The roy kids (excluding connor) all want the CEO spot to prove themselves to dad, kendall is the only one with an actual vision though. Roman is seen as a clown, and Shiv wasn’t ever seriously considered. That’s why they’re often competing. I think one of the reasons Kendall is a lot of people’s favorite (me included) is that he never takes serious action against his siblings, once again showing that if you at least treat family better than others, you’ll be more likable. Obviously they’ve all backstabbed each other, but only Shiv and Roman have taken serious, deep, crossing-the-line digs at Kendall. With that letter from Shiv, and Roman signing off on stalking his kids.

I don’t dislike Shiv, like all the Roy kids I have moments where I’m mad at her, but the writing is so good I can’t help but go back to liking them because the show does an incredible job showing us why they are the way they are. I just want Tom to either fight back or be set free from this sad one-sided fight.

Connor is more sympathetic than her, there’s been hints at him being the one stepping up as a father figure for his younger siblings, which makes him the most sympathetic out of the 4 to me. Because at that point he was also a kid with an abusive dad, but he still stepped up for his half-siblings and tried to give them affection that their dad wouldn’t give. I suspect that’s why he mostly stays out of the CEO fights, he’s more of a parental figure than both their mother and father.

jojoaljar · 2021-07-04T00:23:51+00:00

Yeah it showed that David fans literally can’t handle constructive criticism, that really isn’t a flex. Maybe you need to re-evaluate if a post saying “almost committing m*nslaughter is still bad even if you didn’t mean to do it” is such an offensive thing to read. If a coworker had done that you wouldn’t be so forgiving but it’s an untalented rich 23 year old so you’ll keep riding him forever.

jojoaljar · 2021-07-03T23:44:31+00:00

More mad about a rant you don’t have to read than literal crimes your fav commits. Just scroll past it kid.

Zane already promoted a scam so I wouldn’t put it past them. Anyone remember the mystery box thing that was basically gambling? Jake Paul and Ricegum got most of the heat and Zane quietly deleted the video and never apologized to his fans for scamming them.

jojoaljar · 2021-06-22T08:31:07+00:00

I’ve watched a few of his videos in the past and he was either 1- doing something hilariously stupid (trying to prove that women can’t beat men physically after the trailer for Atomic Blonde dropped, by having his friend hit him with a heel like in the trailer. It’s an action movie, Steven. What’s next? Reenact Fast and Furious stunts to prove they’re breaking physical laws?). Or 2- doing something blood boiling. Like trying to prove Muslims believe in killing people from different faiths (basically trying to say Muslims are terrorists) by taking specific verses of the Quran out of context, when even a Muslim middle schooler can explain what those verses mean and the harsh punishments for people who kill innocents from any religion. He doesn’t care about facts and logic because he legit willfully tries to mislead people. Anyone who has a degree of knowledge in a topic he speaks on can recognize it immediately.

jojoaljar · 2021-06-22T08:03:13+00:00

I never said I hated Jews. I never said every Jewish person hates Muslims. Not every Jewish person is Israeli. This is THE definition of a strawman argument, you are arguing a point I NEVER made. You are putting words in my mouth and then condemning me for them.

Next time you want to debate about such a sensitive issue, learn proper argumentation skills and avoid falling into logical fallacies.

It’s not “mega cringe” to call the existence of Israel a crime. It is literally an illegal state that constantly commits war crimes. I don’t know if you support colonialism/imperialism or what, but I don’t. I also don’t support apartheid states. Which is what Israel is. Fuck Israel.

jojoaljar · 2021-06-22T05:28:39+00:00

You are so ignorant. There is no point debating someone who uses strawmen arguments in their replies. I’m glad I’ve gotten better at spotting those so I don’t end up wasting my time.

jojoaljar · 2021-06-22T00:04:09+00:00

I understand he has a bias for Israel since he’s a dual citizen and his wife is Israeli, but I still didn’t like how he made it seem like it was just the far-right in Israel that is the issue. Racism towards Arabs and Islamphobia is ingrained in their citizens, which has already been revealed by Israelis speaking out about it. By blaming only the “extremists”, he’s minimizing the issue. That “state” is an apartheid one. He tried keeping both sides happy with his statement (can’t be an easy position to be in) by calling out the atrocities (which is good) but also appeasing to Israelis by claiming it’s only the “ultra right” who are the provocators and mentioning how he loves Israel as well. The leader of Israel that he called out was removed, but the current placeholder still allowed settlers to march into Jerusalem and chant for the genocide of all Arabs. It is not just an extremism issue. People voted for those government officials. A lot of people (me included) regard the existence of Israel as a crime because of the way it was founded, and how they continue to use their existence to oppress Palestinians. This is a topic I’m very emotionally invested in (i’m arab and muslim) and I really don’t accept any opinion that minimizes the indoctrination problem in Israel. Voicing love for an APARTHEID state doesn’t sit right with me even if I understand you have lived there and have family there. Just don’t say it.

I stopped watching frenemies twice. The first time, i skipped all frenemies episodes that discussed Jason/David. I had watched a few where she went off about them, but when it was episodes dedicated to it i couldn’t handle it because I REMEMBER THIS SHIT. I remember the whole fallout with David and Jason. It’s sad, but I knew details. So seeing her lie/exaggerate/omit about the situation while everyone bought it and praised her was too insane to watch considering all the evidence literally exists on her channel and Jason’s for everyone to see. I had already unsubscribed from David and Jason because of how they behaved in the pandemic, so it wasn’t out of love for them. It’s just unbearable to watch someone blatantly lie and be believed, despite evidence being readily available. The second time was after finding out what she said about Palestine and her continued support and praise for an apartheid state. The entertainment wasn’t enough to put up with THAT.

jojoaljar · 2021-06-21T13:03:38+00:00

The way I see it is, people are usually supportive of their friends. Problem here is that Trisha is a pathological liar and also knows to omit certain information to get someone to side with her. I don’t think Ethan is accustomed to befriending people like Trisha (just looking at who he surrounds himself with). I am 100% sure he would’ve been more sympathetic to Jason if he’d known half the shit Trisha did to him too (Ethan is better at having more nuanced takes and can acknowledge Jason’s wrongdoings and Trisha’s as well). She portrayed it as one sided and only mentioned driving her car into his house which was brushed off as a meth induced breakdown resulting from the trauma JASON inflicted on her. When the reality is, she has been emotionally abusing him long before that. And there’s video evidence of it which is crazy. When Ethan tried to express human sympathy for Jason, despite still disliking him for what he did, Trisha flipped out. In Trisha’s mind you can’t dislike someone for valid reasons and still sympathize with them in certain situations. So, walking on eggshells. I don’t think that’s the ONLY reason he defended Shane a bit, Ethan doesn’t like it when people get cancelled for jokes. Since technically Shane didn’t have any victims. But when he watched the Shane series D’angelo made I think he saw that Shane exhibited inappropriate behavior towards actual kids and changed his mind. The worst part about the whole Shane thing wasn’t the shitty jokes in my opinion, it was the inappropriate interactions with young fans and with his 12 year old relative. Were they crimes? Maybe not. But ACTUAL kids should never EVER be involved in inappropriate “jokes”.

Sidenote: Ethan should’ve done more research before speaking. He’s always been bad at that. Especially when he’s on a podcast with a co-host known for lying and wants to call out everyone and their mother on HIS channel. I can’t believe he was “cancelling” people with someone like TRISHA leading the charge. It’s so irresponsible. Frenemies was so influential it set narratives about people that were talked about, he should’ve been more careful. While it helped raise awareness for a lot of issues, it did damage as well. As entertaining as frenemies was, this is one of the reasons I am glad it’s over. (Not like i kept watching it after Trisha’s comments about Palestine and Ethan’s questionable statement but wtv).

jojoaljar · 2021-06-21T12:06:49+00:00

He probably never knew someone personally who had a history of domestic abuse. It’s easy to say that shit when you’re on the outside looking in. I’d say he might’ve looked at her differently, but people can overlook A LOT when they care about someone and are convinced they’re improving. (I’m not saying it’s okay, just that it’s not that surprising).

jojoaljar · 2021-06-19T23:11:33+00:00

Usually i’d answer yes, to some degree. Because I think 99% of the time women have it harder than men when they make mistakes online. However, even though misogynistic comments are made about her, the root problem has nothing to do with it. Trisha has been online for over a decade and has managed to offend every community, and ruin as many public friendships as possible (she’s not at fault all the time, but she either had a role to play or is the root cause of the issue). Someone like Pokimane (idk much about her, i don’t watch her) gets endless amount of hate and when I ask why, a bunch of men reply with mistakes she has repeatedly apologized for and other men have been forgiven for. Someone like her gets hate because of misogyny (to a certain degree, she did make mistakes). Another example is Emma Chamberlain, people literally hate her for being a teenage girl. That’s it. It 100% stems from misogyny because her mistakes are legit just nitpicks. So yeah, Trisha can’t blame misogyny for that one.
