@RavenStarMedia2@dubiousSawbones@alisotubarao@TannenbergBltz This feels a bit reductive and disingenuous though? I agree that the other characters needed more development, but there are things that were established about them. The groundwork that was laid out just wasn't explored as deeply. But they aren't literally one-note husks
@Mooshie_blue_ People also kept claiming that Goose fished for pity with Jax, despite saying AGES ago that Jax wasn't a good person. The finale doesn't force us to feel bad for Jax, nor does it coddle her/condone her actions. I'm just tired of people lying to justify their disdain lmao
@Mooshie_blue_ What really irks me is that people take the self-insert thing WAY too literally and they insist that Jax and Goose are one and the same, which contributes to them having this weird moral high ground for not liking Jax and confirming that Goose is a horrible person??
@potoxdx I remember seeing something from the main TADC subreddit once and ever since I keep getting notifs from other subreddits that are dedicated to """criticism""" of the show or hating Jax and they all sound like this lmao
@cfusionpm@MotzieD It's the lyrics that get me tbh: "I let you live here for free, and I don’t even charge you rent," "I throw caution to every warning sign," and we can't forget, "Watch out world, here I are" 💀 There are more but I think they're the worst imo
@LonesomeCowpoke The show is by no means perfect but I have a hard time taking criticisms seriously because it's usually either that, complaints about shit that didn't happen/they failed to understand, or "why wasn't [thing that was answered in the show] explained???"
@Ommiedabot@peraburger Also black folks are very aware that “gringo” isn’t a slur, they’re “reclaiming it” to mirror what people have been doing to them when they use AAVE wrong. They are also not gatekeeping the word “y’all,” the discourse was never about that singular word to begin with
@Ommiedabot@peraburger This discourse started because someone wanted to gatekeep a European lady’s music despite it using elements of black American culture. Non-Americans downplayed their criticisms and doubled-down on their ignorance so black folks are just reciprocating the energy
@YukiAndLeo@me_cake219@swfstagram Many things have been brought up in the discourse and this is also simplified af, but the frustration is about how many latinos have been replying to black folks, with some even meeting them with unprompted slurs & racism (beyond "gringo" ofc). (5/5)
@YukiAndLeo@me_cake219@swfstagram The issue was never non-black/non-americans speaking AAVE, but rather consuming and misappropriating their culture and then refusing to listen when black folks try to educate them about it being misused because many folks like to look down upon the USA and its people. (4/?)
@7quid4ever@Jrockthing I think I still have my old DVD collection + a few VHS tapes around :] As a kid I really wanted a lot of the toys in the videos but as I've grown older I have been charmed by the Legends & Lore puppets. I managed to snag a few, including a few rarer ones :]
@Creativewafflee I was literally just talking to a friend about the rare Pombubus because surely they can't be THAT rare? They're just difficult to pull. Look at all of these listings of Unicorn Pomni... the cheapest ones are in the $400 range, it's crazy
@ghostieoliverr Scalpers are crazy af </3 There is actually an Abstracted Jax auction listing that's claiming that it's one of only 100 ever produced (like the Gold Pomnis and Kingers) and the starting bid is at $760,,, I reported that shit, I hope it gets taken down :(
