And Like, Them Apologizing Doesn't Change The Stuff About Steven Belonging To A Homophobic Church And

just in case the wrong type of person (those who will absolutely use this as an excuse to physically harm, harass, or do unmentionable inappropriate activities to unwilling parties) sees this:

Your intent and diagnosis is an explanation but when someone does actually say “hey don’t do that” / “that makes me uncomfortable” / “please stop” YOU STOP. When people are SAYING and actually communicating with you to STOP that’s not something that’s vague or misunderstandable.

of course this doesn’t apply to the implications of people being uncomfortable, because that can absolutely be missed by anyone neurotypical, let alone anyone autistic. But I’m sick of seeing people use this as a scapegoat for straight up assault or harassing people. If people say stop and you don’t? You’re not just an asshole, you’re a freak who’s about to have no friends.

this post cannot apply when people tell you how to change.

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

Sometimes the point isn’t obvious, but please don’t underestimate people’s ability to completely ignore a writer’s original intention even as it hits them in the face repeatedly.

hate when you add a tag to a post with just a few notes and then the post blows up and like 1 million people add similar tags and then OP is like "can everyone STOP saying this!!! it's SO annoying! you missed the point of my post!' and it's like be that as it may, you missed the point of their post before anyone else did. you're the original idiot. A simple mistake. An innocent blunder made in good faith. It's those OTHER fools who failed to open the notes and read the previous tags before stumbling boldly into YOUR benevolent error. it's not you they want!!!!! guards!!!! take those OTHER 5,000 people away!!!!!

should we be concerned?

10 year old Dick: "Bruce, when you get married, can I be the best man?"

Bruce: "Of course, chum."

12 year old Dick: "Hey Clark, do you think when you get married, I can be your best man?"

Clark: "I don't see why not."

25 year old Dick: "In my defence, I had no way of knowing you'd end up marrying each other."

sick of seeing disparaging comments towards men just for the sake of it.

“Ew, men are so gross looking.”

YOURE gross looking leave that boy who didn’t ask for your opinion alone!!!!! Just because it hurts a man doesn’t mean its feminism.

I love boys so much. Like so much. I love when they have long hair or no hair. I love when they do something passionately and refuse to back down from a problem. I love when they’re vulnerable and ask for help. I love boys.

“And I hope you NASTY, VILE, BULLIES who BROKE those poor men by *checks notes* 1.) pointing out that a bad business decision was bad and 2.) recognising that a CEO is, in fact, in charge of a company ROT IN HELL for your irredeemable crimes against our parasocial blorbos!!!! 😡🤬”

I think what the biggest kick in the teeth is with the watcher announcement- at least for me- is knowing that they are NOT Netflix OR Hulu. they do not have enough content to hold an entire streaming service on their back. I get why they’re doing it and that just worries me more. They’re trying to make more money to support their growing company but they just aren’t Dropout, Netflix, or Hulu. With the big buck streaming services, they have enough content beyond their original series to keep people watching (ignoring the fact that most big boy services have needed to switch gears in their monetization to keep going) but watcher does not have that. in order for this change to work even remotely on their end, they’d need to kick into high gear and make more content. Like fast. Someone else pointed out that they’ve got a “two episode per month” schedule and that absolutely will not work for a streaming service. and of course everything I’ve mentioned is on their end, not even taking into consideration how many people are very visibly angry by this. What happens when they don’t have enough people sign up? 

what a kick in the pants.

I know that a lot of people use fanfiction and fandom as an escape mechanism for the heavy things but please remember that those of us who can do that can only do it because we’re safe.

“hey guys im here to correct on some misinformation in what a reboot is. a reboot is what it sounds like - it is a reimagining of a series. they’ll take old concepts, characters, or even just the franchise name and breathe new life into it.

“a lot of people will say a reboot isn’t necessary, BUT that’s coming from a fan of the originals, not from people who know the original sold. monster high in my opinion is the best example of what i’m talking about because generation one of monster high was only profitable really for about three or four years and that’s why it ended and that’s why they did the generation two reboot.

“so generation three was actually workshopped for YEARS by people who knew what they were doing. generation one of Monster High came out in 2010 generation three of Monster High came out in 2022. these are totally different markets.

“and as much as doll collectors hate to hear it - these are for children. the market that they tested and research with was children. as much as it might be a little bit sad to think ‘oh they changed my favorite character’ the originals still exist, you can always tune back in and check it out. at the end of the day, these are businesses. they don’t really care about your feelings, they’re just trying to make money off of an old familiar franchise again.

“i’m not super knowledgeable about holly hobbie but this is one of my original holly hobbie dolls and this is a new one and i’m pretty sure these are both the character carrie. they decided because when the originals came out, they did not have really any diversity other than hair color, they decided to add diversity of the line and completely reimagined them. a doll like like this would have not been successful in the early 2000s. this one wasn’t either but they tried something new.”
