So The Academy Is Reviewing Whether Or Not To Remove Will Smith’s Award And Here Are Some Interesting

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

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.

What's your opinion on putin sympathizers?

I think sympathizing with Putin/Russia in this scenario is stupid and wrong.

It's like sympathizing with China over Hong Kong.

Do people forget what TERF stands for?  Do people forget what the R and F mean?

You don’t need to say “Radfems and terfs’.  That’s like saying "I hate flowers and roses”

There are a lot of little lines in TFA that sort of tip you off that something isnt quite right with the "heroic autobots" and it just gets more pronounced once you've noticed it. Like everything about Optimus's speech in the first episode. "We're all cogs in the great big autobot machine." Emphasizing the needs of the collective over everything else (and notice that this is apparently something he says a lot. Something he's internalized). "Don't try to be a hero, it's not in your programming." Idk bro sounds like functionism to me. But probably the most unsettling line is Ratchet's implication that they can just.. delete emotions. Just run a program and bam! That feeling of dissatisfaction with your lot in life? Gone. Thats a big old red flag if Ive ever seen one.

Thank you for the lore for your AU and for clearing a few things up.

How serious are the laws against those Constructed Cold? I read from an earlier post that Megatron got beaten like in canon over having a book since miners "aren't allowed" to have that kind of literature. Did Whirl go overboard or was that a relatively normal response to finding contraband? Also did Morgan ever tried to get medical books to better help his miner friends?

It wasn’t so much having a book as it is what type of book that tends to get the lower classes into trouble! Also it’s actually a class issue, not a Cold Construct issue ouob.

Megatron is manual class, and manual class has a list of books they’re allowed to read—-usually fiction, self-help and historical books based on their line of work, or Quintesson war and world rebuilding stories that promote the current system——anyone found with one not on the list will be questioned to find out who sold it to them, or will be assumed to have stolen it.

Book stores in different parts of town will offer different books depending on what a person’s designated working class is/what the major working demographic is (a young Megatron approached young!OP because he had read every single book in the one downtown bookstore he’s allowed to go to, and he saw OP reading something he’d never seen before) ——by the time children reach middle school and are segregated based on working class, they’re encouraged to get an education firmly based on what their future line of work is and be heavily dissuaded from everything else. (Libraries are only found in affluent/higher class neighborhoods. OP establishing a community library in The Dead End was unheard of until then)

Whirl beating up Megatron had nothing to do with the contraband and everything to do with people in power, who have a hold over Whirl, using him to teach Megatron a lesson/silence the miner.

OP did actually give Megatron a comprehensive first aid book before he left for the police academy——the cover and first chapter were made to look like a guide to the history of coal mining in England—-because Megs told him that he wished he could learn medicine that he could help his community whenever one was too far away to do calls there (there were not many medics who treated manual classes and those who did usually wanted to ‘rise up’ ASAP. Free clinics were rare and often closer to towns which took time to travel to from the mines).

When Terminus got caught in a cave-in on Messatine and lost his legs, what Megatron learned from this book is what helped save Terminus’ life and helped Terminus recover under less than ideal conditions.

Peter Capaldi as the TWELFTH DOCTOR

DOCTOR WHO — The Witch’s Familiar 

I've been seeing a lot of posts insulting the people who are critical of of how TFATWS dealt with Bucky's trauma, claiming that we "want him to suffer". In reality the only reason the MCU wants us to believe he's healed (despite not doing the work) is that they can't be bothered to properly deal with it and just want to 'move on'.

“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.
