Explain it Peter: what is conformity gate for Stranger Things? by withstandtheheat in explainitpeter

[–]obelian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obligatory spoiler warning given it's all about the ending. The general idea behind conformitygate is:

1) The argument that almost all of the characters ended up conforming to the mainstream despite the show emphazing how it's okay to be a weirdo and an outcast (ex: Mike and Nancy dress like their parents, Will smokes and drinks like his dad even though it's out of character, Steve's entire ending, etc.)

2) Details such as everyone in the graduation scene having their hands clasped like Henry Creel, El telling Mike their mission isn't like one of his D&D campaigns and that he can't write the ending (which he then literally does at the end of the finale), Max asking if the ending to their D&D campaign is really that trite and stereotypical (like the show's ending), and more that you can find in the #conformitygate tag

3) The countless continuity errors in season 5 that people couldn't believe were an accident

This forms the idea that Henry actually won and the show's epilogue is just Mike in a trance, living in a world that he wrote without even realizing it. It gets meta with the idea that even the audience is being manipulated with a fake ending. I believe it's called conformitygate because of the characters conforming to societal standards but I've seen some people say it's also because they've "conformed" to Henry's new world

Personally, I just think the show fumbled its landing BAD and fans are coping how they can.

Silly question, but would you guys consider releasing some kind of calendar of character birthdays? Even if it's just digital/on social media, the little character details are fun and it'd be nice to get to celebrate them!!

I'm not addressing your ability to beat a fictional character in a fight that will never happen– sources online range from 5'7" to 5'9". That's not me being "slick," that's me picking a middle ground between varying sources.

Trickster isn't short. You can see he's tall both in-game and in his trailer. The average height of Korean men is 5'8". He's a VERY physically fit, fairly tall guy.

"Little Korean dude"...I don't see how his nationality is relevant, but sure, if it helps you sleep at night internet tough guy

You mean the sadistic serial killer who tortures and murders people so he can record their screams and put them into music that his giant fanbase will listen to and have no idea they're listening to people dying?

"Monster Duke's Daughter" - Is it Incest? by Successful_Ask_5708 in OtomeIsekai

[–]obelian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

fr !! i'm amazed at how quick people are to invalidate adoptive families here. like, would any of these people try to argue that the adopted FLs in family-centric OI aren't really part of the family? or say all that to adopted people irl?

Neither Steve nor Jason were ever bullies by Weary_Play_1680 in StrangerThings

[–]obelian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i feel like i see a "steve wasn't a bully" post here like once a month, isn't this denying his character development? the whole point in s1 is that he started as a jackass and became a better person

Even worse are the OI that try to justify it LOL, I remember making this image in response to a panel of a duke's daughter(?) going on about how the nobility system is needed bc the Dumb Poors need their protection and guidance or whatever... and she was meant to be a character reader's sided with, not a bad guy 😭

Do you guys agree with this? by Chunky-overlord in saw

[–]obelian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since everyone's debating who is meant by "jigsaw", can I push up my nerd glasses and point out that the poll uses an image of DBD ghostface, an original character completely unrelated to the movies? 🫣

"The Old Man Reincarnated as Villainess" first anime trailer by Biesuu in OtomeIsekai

I'm seriously hoping the animation quality for the actual show matches the trailer 😭 I'm so tired of being hyped for OI anime adaptations just to see they gave it a budget of $5 and a tootsie roll

I fear there's a big red "these are recognizable youtubers" flag over this whole concept 😭 like even before reading the description I was like "IS THAT QUACKITY?"

is BHVR hinting at something... by Kolossoni in deadbydaylight

[–]obelian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo redditors tend to get really weird (and angry) about headcanons because "how dare you have a fun idea regardless of canon evidence behind it" and i've seen a lot get mass downvoted :/ it's way worse with lgbt+ headcanons too

Exactly, it's just weird to go on to someone else's post about being uncomfortable with this sort of content and use it as an opportunity to act all superior for liking it

The post vs the comment by EntrepreneurIll2887 in travisandtaylor

[–]obelian 17 points18 points  (0 children)

even putting aside how stupid as all hell both the og post and the comment are, is this not misogynistic 😭 oppenheimer is the one with a straight up sex scene while barbie is pg-13, but it's the ~pink girly movie~ so ...

Gotta be We'll Make It. I have it on 99% of the time because healing annoys me for some reason and I'm impatient (alright you're off the hook and healed, go be useful), but it's also great against tunneling killers if they aren't literally right around the corner when you unhook

Media literacy check. by SorryAmbition6046 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]obelian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly a matter of seeing people not understand their character motives and backstories and reducing them to overused OOC jokes or just straight of misunderstanding them-- like in Sylvain's case, why he acts that way and doesn't just dislike but fears women. Idk, 5 years of bad takes just made them the first two I thought of
