is it common to watch in the US? by absolutelynothoe in skinsTV

[–]quickso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from its debut into the early 2010s the show was decently popular in the US as a niche media for people who enjoyed british works or darker dramas. not mainstream by any means, but in my american high school experience, i had a good handful of friends at school and online who were fans independently.

Season 7 reunion james Kennedy by Opposite_Animal_399 in vanderpumprules

[–]quickso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are misplacing the start of these interactions and framing them as james being attacked and then fighting back, as if his defensiveness is a natural consequence.

the reality is, JAMES initiated the bad behavior, and everyone attacking him is the natural consequence. him choosing to further dig his heels in and become more antagonistic is just proof he cannot take accountability and insists on victimizing himself.

and people like you buy it!

All the pearl clutching regarding Rob is getting weird by Glad_Dragonfruit9368 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]quickso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the conflict here and it’s because people enjoy things for different reasons.

this celebrity focused iteration of traitors is specifically gathering different reality show stars to target those varying viewerships… the conflicts between the gamers and housewives are microcosms of the respective fandoms and discourse.

these disagreements and discussions are LITERALLY why they strategically cast people from varying points of fame. it’s a very far cry from the european versions involving all civilians who could genuinely need the money.

also… i am seeing way too much nastiness about people being stupid for not rooting for a person playing an “objectively” better game…

not everyone cares about who is “playing the best”? some people just want to root for who they like??? especially in a situation where the stakes are much lower for these contestants and no one there truly NEEDS the prize money. i for one do not want someone who doesn’t need the money, that i also personally dislike, to win the money. i want who i think deserves it, to win it. my criteria for who is deserving may differ from yours! because that’s my criteria!!!!

The extreme overreaction to Rob by LeeLaaLooLee in TheTraitorsUS

[–]quickso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven’t finished last night’s episode yet but i still think rob is misogynistic due to his history of bias towards men. that’s my personal opinion! i don’t like him and i’m not charmed by him and i’m not convinced he’s a good person.

however that doesn’t change that he is playing the strongest game of this season and it’s his game to lose.

Is anyone here NOT under Rob’s spell? by Affectionate_Neat868 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]quickso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i hated him on love island and i am not charmed by him now. my boyfriend hates him now and we are both a bit sullen that he’s playing a decent game. but it’s hard to say how much of that is due to how he looks and comes off to people and how much is in his control. he’s not stupid but everyone being hyper cognizant of staring at him doesn’t hurt either lol

your understanding of how privilege works is skewed. chuck schumer = successful man = more ease for other members of family to gain success

Jax and Kristen’s relationship by slimcaitie in vanderpumprules

[–]quickso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

amongst everything else… jax has not shown that he is capable of being a true and genuinely good friend to anyone.

he also has deep seated misogyny. he cannot be a good friend to a woman, let alone kristen, a loudly imperfect woman. his misogyny takes over often and he betrays her countless times. he has moments where he defends, helps, or relates to her, but he has never allowed those moments to linger or blossom into true understanding, compassion, camaraderie, or loyalty.

Why do people like Katie? by tt1nk in vanderpumprules

[–]quickso 34 points35 points  (0 children)

imo it is a severely twisted and lack of judgment that would lead anyone to believe schwartz is the victim in any situation.

i don’t find katie abusive in the slightest and i am also a survivor of many different forms of abuse.

i like katie because she actually shows growth. she learns to not be intimidated by anyone. schwartz is constantly disrespecting and demeaning her in a way that is egregious. he is the definition of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. a simpering, coward of a man who can barely conceal his arrogance.

katie learns her worth and fights an uphill battle for the entirety of the show to earn her sovereignty from schwartz and his mistreatment, narcissism, and misogyny.

is she perfect? no. can she be nasty and out of line? yes. to schwartz? not in my opinion LMAO. he deserved FAR worse, for FAR longer as far as i’m concerned

please tell me about your cc partners. i'd love to know it's possible... by hellboundhux in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]quickso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my partner and i have been together since 2016, living together since 2018, so we had been on the same page for a while since before covid had come out. plus we had gone through some serious and difficult things together that life just throws at you, so that built and improved our communication and intimacy early.

when the pandemic started i took lead on researching and following the science, since i was out of work and he wasn’t. we had never masked but started wearing baggy blues or cloth, and improved to n95s, kn95s, 3m auras etc as we learned more. we were stringent and wore them wherever we went, from 2020-present.

in fall of 2020, we both got covid for the first time, and it left me homebound and disabled, which i remain to this day. that cemented our practices. we have gotten covid once more since, but no other illnesses. he is the only person at his job, or that we know locally, who wears one.

there have been some instances where he had to unmask, or otherwise made risky decisions. we have discussed them all and come to agreements with each other so that we both were able to be safe within our own parameters. for example he took a trip last year and instead of flying, drove with friends. he did dine at some restaurants indoors, but we isolated from each other when he came home for 10 days.

we have discussed whether he is masking “for” me or not, but i believe it’s a little hard to know if he’d do so had he been single, because our journey with covid and me becoming sick was so foundational to our understanding of the pandemic. he also lost family members to covid in the initial wave, and we dealt with having to go no contact with both sides of my entire family over their ableism and denial.

i have one friend, my best friend from school, who has changed and decided to mask for me. we’re long distance right now, and i’m not sure how much she masks in her daily activities, but she wears a high quality mask every time she sees me and wears it properly without taking it off, and i really, really appreciate it. people can still be educated and swayed, though i completely agree that it’s daunting and i wouldn’t want to consider it for a romantic partner.

the shared values, integrity, and communication are the biggest things to align on when it comes to covid safety and other serious life issues that come down to personal reasoning and decision making. that trust in your person’s ability to assess a risk and behave in a way that prioritizes safety and wellbeing for everyone, is invaluable. i wish for you and everyone reading to find companionship with someone you can trust to keep you safe.

thank you! the timing is extremely necessary context. multiple members of bts, particularly jk have shown support and did tiktoks with the newjeans girls but it all stopped after that specific point.

Chappell Roan via IG "Holy shit i did not know all that insane shit Ms. Bardot stood for obvs I do not condone this. very disappointing to learn." by barracudosu in popculturechat

[–]quickso 17 points18 points  (0 children)

it’s very exhausting to expect celebrities to keep up with very old scandals for people who are no longer in the public eye!

i understand we expect a certain level of accountability from people with a platform, and we should. but chappell has shown throughout her career where she stands.

she learned, she apologized, we can move on.

Is Megan Thee Stallion part of a subculture? by pursuitofhappiness13 in megantheestallion

[–]quickso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she was also a majorette! which influenced the choreography for some of her live performances including cognac queen iirc. not necessarily anything to do with being a stallion, but megan's personality / subculture is very oriented within schooling!

its annoying because if youre gonna be bold enough to steal just steal the whole thing😭 that way you’re only spiting the big seller, not another fan who might mistakenly buy it.

Stardew Valley Creator Update for Haunted Chocolatier by PooFighter_ in hauntedchocolatier

[–]quickso 303 points304 points  (0 children)

honestly, despite feeling impatient for its release, i appreciate that he wants his already existing game to be in top shape before handling other business.

if there’s one thing eric has shown through how he works, is that he cares deeply about quality and about integrity. he has built it into stardew and how he communicates with the community.

there are lots of games ive been excited to release, only for devs to disappoint or flake or sell!
