What's Your Opinion On Putin Sympathizers?

A Palestinian father playfully balances his son on his right hand at the beach in Gaza City early one evening.

The coast of Gaza has grown increasingly popular over the years. It had always been a sight for weary eyes but with Israel’s siege denying Gazans the freedom to move, its seemingly endless seascape offers, for many, a very tangible escape, even if only temporal. It has also become a very popular family destination. Entire meals are prepared, served, and eaten here, and it is not uncommon to stay the night, father, son, and all.

Peter Capaldi as the TWELFTH DOCTOR

DOCTOR WHO — The Witch’s Familiar 

Introduction to the Project

I’m currently running a group project via Discord known as “Grand Crossover Worldbuilding”. In this project, we take various series and attempt to combine them together into a cohesive whole. 

The project is democratically run. The series included are determined via vote. Using the series that have been voted in as building blocks, participants write up pitches which describe the world and how it is set up. These pitches are then put up for a vote, and if they pass they are added to our canon document. I will be posting the contents of that document on the blog gradually.

The project is open to new members at any date via the link below:

“WandaVision” was not perfect. It had some writing errors and the narrative would have been better served as a movie and without the TV format gimmickry. However … it is a masterpiece in compare to “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”. There was so much bad writing in this series that I pretty much gave up on enjoying it by the fourth or fifth episode.

What made this series worse in my eyes was that it made Sharon Carter a villain.  And it did so with BAD WRITING. She became the MCU’s Daenerys Targaryen … but with even more shoddy writing. Fuck this franchise. It’s been slowly going down the drain since “Age of Ultron”. It has finally hit rock bottom, as far as I’m concerned. Unless the franchise manages to fuck up the third Spider-man movie, like it did the other two.

Cyberspace

During his time working at the Science Patrol, Dr. Michiyuki Ashihara discovered an ancient Super computer on the moon, known as the Moon Cell. Thanks to his prior research, he was able to reactivate it. Thanks to the special properties of the Archetype molecule it was able to perform computing power far beyond the level of any human made computer. It achieved this by using the Archetype to receive Data from the Future. However, when using this computer, Ashihara began receiving errors, which indicated that at some point in the future a cataclysm would occur, potentially as a result of the Ashihara’s own research. Not wanting his research to be stopped, but knowing that the Science Patrol would do so when they discovered the situation, Ashihara began taking steps to ensure that it would continue after he had to abandon the Science Patrol.

A 'Christian' family moved to Russia to escape 'LGBTQ, trans,' but now they're 'ready' to 'get out'

The patriarch of a right-wing Canadian family of 11 had had just about enough of gay people in his country. “We didn't feel safe for our chi

Ahahaha this is great. Far-right fundie Christian assholes move from Canada to Russia because they don’t like that Canada is ok with gay people, and learn the hard way why you don’t want to live under a dictatorship.

Getting tired of seeing big posts that are basically like "look there are gay Palestinians too that's why you should support them!" like how about we support them because they're facing a genocide how about that?

What is something objectively good that you don't like or hate?

My issue is that if I hate something, even if it's good up until that point, I don't continue engaging in it. If I dislike a game, I don't typically continue playing it.

If I dislike something, I typically do not dwell on it either, so I don't remember it.

Every anti John Walker post makes me realize that there is no objective reason to hate John Walker, only subjective, and that's fine. It's only when people start making up shit to hate him for (like he abuses Olivia, or he's a racist, or a psychopath, comparing him to Homelander or Peacemaker 🙄). That's my biggest problem with antis.

I understand if people dislike him because they can't let go of Steve Rogers just yet. (I mean I was the same way at first, but it was Sam and Bucky's unreasonable stubbornness that changed my mind). You don't have to like him, you don't have to be a fan, but if you have to create and warp existing context to extreme and stupidly wrong lengths in order to justify your hatred of this character WHILE supporting actual childish and unhelpful behaviour from Sam and Bucky, then of course you're gonna have people disagree with you under your anti posts. It's not because we're "pressed", it's because you're wrong but you're still trying to pass it off as fact.

As the saying goes: If you wanna hate a character, at least hate them correctly

Moscow security forces carried out raids on gay nightclubs, bars and saunas in the city center on Friday night, according to media reports, a day after Russia’s Supreme Court effectively banned the international LGBTQ+ movement in Russia, labeling it an “extremist” organization.

Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported. Eyewitnesses said clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services.

Ostorozhno Novosti Telegram news channel reported that, on the pretext of searching for drugs, police raided a club on Malaya Yakimanka where a party for the LGBT community was taking place.
