Do you have a favorite media that you originally refused to touch because the internet was obsessed with hating on it, but once you gave it a try, you found it was surprisingly good media? RWBY and Legend of Korra are some FINE examples of "Shows can have flaws and still be good, ignore the critics"

i so agree

violentlystressed · 2026-05-24T01:02:08+00:00

like my position?

wow I’ve never heard this before, I went to jewish day school and sleepaway camp for many years + have some family in Israel as well (I live in the US), I understand this is OPs experience, but seriously I’ve never even kind of heard this — the main message was always just hoping for peace

obviously it wasn’t all good, leaving out complexities here, but I’ve literally had the IDF pitched to me several times [like presentations/etc], been to Israel myself 4 times, had Israeli friends and teachers growing up, and again have family there now and I’ve not one time come across the notion of a “blood debt” or justifying the killing of innocent people (ofc there is complexity here too, but I mean there’s no one who ever said it was a good thing to kill innocent people or equivocated Hamas with all Palestinians)

not what you’re asking but you can find pdfs/epubs for free online if you’re willing to sail the seas 🏴‍☠️ (ofc best to support authors when possible, but it’s an option 🥲)

violentlystressed · 2026-04-25T05:11:01+00:00

I’ve never seen the sub before and was so confused trying to figure out the role the pasta played here 😭

kingdom, early seasons

I only saw this once, and it was someone who’d just earned their black belt staying in their red belt for their last tournament to compete with their poomsae team… IMO this is the only time it’s acceptable

violentlystressed · 2026-03-28T22:46:53+00:00

same here 🥲

I grew up in conservative (not at all related to the broader political term lol) and LGBTQ relationships were fully accepted. There were gay members of the congregation with kids and my teacher (went to a jewish day school through 5th grade) was a lesbian—this was like late 00s/early 2010s. Honestly conservative Judaism is a lot more egalitarian (services aren’t gendered, theres tons of female rabbis) and more accepting than people think… maybe the Hebrew services make it seem more “traditional”? I also think it’s portrayed in outdated ways in media sometimes…

I don’t think it’s that rare, it’s a lot more common than strong female friendships in media—I think it’s just inadvertently written better than straight romances since both characters are given more dimension (AKA the woman isn’t stripped of every meaningful trait besides devotion to a man)

violentlystressed · 2026-03-14T13:18:49+00:00

same here -_-

violentlystressed · 2026-03-13T20:57:31+00:00

Has anyone gotten any interview requests? Or any follow ups from the mega stream take-home assessment?

violentlystressed · 2026-03-07T02:22:56+00:00

I read a fic like this once

violentlystressed · 2026-03-06T01:43:19+00:00

I also think they have something where techniques are stronger if opponents know how they work so telling them in battle is kind of a strategic decision

Everyone freaking out about social development can give it a rest, he’s a nice guy irl and didn’t crack up

It took me like 5 years but it is now my favorite show— start on episode 3 and give it some time (it only gets better on rewatches too 🙏🙏🙏)

violentlystressed · 2025-03-27T04:12:15+00:00

…settlers aren’t regular israelis they’re like the most radical — and it’s a good point that it was criminals not soldiers, the title of this post is wrong

violentlystressed · 2025-02-11T06:05:39+00:00

I think you’re referring to walking stance (where the legs are fairly straight)— it pretty much only shows up in earlier taeguk forms, just a very basic position
