I want to say this plainly—and this is not directed at anyone specifically
If you wrongfully and criminally call innocent people pedophiles, you are hurting real victims of serious, serious sexual abuse by diluting the accusation
You’re actively harming the very people many of you claim to care about, and that is fucking disgusting
If you do that, you should be ashamed of yourself
Does she look young? Yeah, she does. She’s likely a young Korean actress, very likely in her 20s–30s
If you have a problem with younger-looking adult characters, talk about it—that’s your right. That’s what free speech is all about. But can we collectively agree to stop diluting the accusation of pedophilia?
There was an entire month where men (and some women) were being defamed as pedophiles just for wanting a traditional family. That’s not opinion—that’s criminal defamation, and it’s morally reprehensible
The amount of people—including huge accounts—casually throwing around legitimate pedophilia accusations is deplorable. It genuinely hurts victims, and so many people don’t give a shit
Honestly? I think we need to start holding people criminally liable for it
I think people would absolutely view Ozai differently if he had a true redemption story. Not because his crimes would disappear, but because we'd finally see the humanity buried underneath the monster😂😭
The reason characters like Zuko and Iroh resonate so deeply is that they changed. Ozai never did. He remained convinced that power justified everything.
If he had ever reached a point where he looked at Zuko's scar, at Azula's breakdown, at the devastation of the war, and genuinely felt remorse, he'd become one of the most fascinating characters in the franchise.
But the fact that he never did is exactly why he remains its greatest villain.
Hard truth…
I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted.
Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely.
They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil.
I assure you.
These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism.
ATLA is a mystery to them.
They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise.
Hot take both men and women want to marry an attractive person.
Idk why you’re all being disingenuous and acting like this is a gotcha as if you’re not the same way. Literally every person on earth wants to marry someone they’re sexually attracted to.
Do you see what I mean when I say people are debate brained? Turning even the most common sense inoffensive little thing into an issue.
@SymplyTonbra How did he watch them get wiped out? Both air temples existed for the first 12 years of Aangs life. By the time they were wiped out Roku was long dead
@grizzlyp72@allowableman2 That's such a crazy argument it's not about having more sympathy for anyone or suggesting being a Nazi is better. Just because someone is doing a worse evil than you doesn't mean you can do evil.
Indie animation is so overwhelmingly white lmao. I'm begging you guys to watch SOMETHING made by black people. There are so many really cool black indie animated pilots/series that are just not being talked about as much in comparison to shows with mainly white creators/casts
It's actually impressive how fast words become meaningless on here.
"Mid" turned into "trash"
"Slop" turned into "Thing I dislike"
"Larp" is now whatever people want it to be.
I kid you not I have had people say I'm a larper while I was mid live-tweeting a watch through of a series. Word doesn't mean a thing anymore which sucks because there has always existed that group of people that don't actually care and just want to fit in.
@catr4t I'm not upset. YOU'RE upset you've made multiple posts about people upsetting you with their response to your post. But you're right. You can do whatever you want. I don't know why you'd WANT to do this, but also, I don't care. Good day.
