BECAUSE THE FREAKING JOKER OUT OF ALL CHARACTERS WOULD CARE ABOUT NOT BRETAYING AMERICA, WHO CARES IF HE'S A HOMICIDAL MANIAC, HE WOULDN'T TEAMUP WITH NAZIS, HE ISN'T A TRAITOROUS BIGOT GUYS. EDIT: MY ISSUE ISN'T THAT JOKER ISN'T A NAZI, MY ISSUE IS THAT OUT OF EVERYTHING "BRETAYING AMERICA" WAS HIS FUCKING LIMIT, HE WOULDN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BEING A TRAITOROUS BIGOT TO AMERICA, THE DIALOGUE SAYS THAT HE ISN'T A NAZI BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T BETRAY AMERICA, NOT BECAUSE THEY TARGET A SPECIFIC TYPE OF PEOPLE, SO STOP USING THAT AS AN ARGUMENT.

OR WHAT ABOUT DR DOOM, THE MF THAT DESTROYED A WHOLE UNIVERSE BECAUSE SOMEONE TALKED BAD ABOUT HIS FIT IS CRYING BECAUSE OF 9/11, HE ISN'T CRYING BECAUSE THAT SWEET BOY REED RICHARDS WASN'T IN THE PLANE, HE'S CRYING BECAUSE QUIEN HIZO ESTA DIABLURA?

WANNA KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ME GUYS? I LOOOOOVE BEATING MY WIFE, EATING KIDS, AND SAYING THE N-WORD DAILY, BUT I WOULD NEVER SUPPORT ANIMAL CUELTRY, THATS WERE I DRAW THE LINE, BECAUSE IM NOT A TRAITOROUS BIGOT.

EDIT: OH MY FUCKING GOD, WHY ARE HALF OF THE COMMENTS TALKING ABOUT HITLER AND HOW HE DIDN'T SUPPORT ANIMAL CUELTRY? THE ANIMAL CUELTRY THING WASN'T LITERAL, READ THE FUCKING IMAGES AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT WHAT THIS POST IS ABOUT IS HOW THE WORST VILLAINS YOU WILL EVER MET HAS A STUPID LINE THAT THEY DON'T CROSS THAT CONTRADICT OR DONT FIT THE CHARACTER, IM NOT SAYING THAT A VILLAIN HAVING LIMITS IS BAD, IM SAYING THAT THE LIMIT THEY GIVE THEM IS STUPID AND DOESN'T FIT THEM AT ALL.

When it comes to zombie fiction, one of the things I absolutely hate is when the military somehow loses against slow-moving zombies. When it comes to zombies like the Infected in Left 4 Dead, I can understand, but HOW IN THE WORLD can an entire force of armed soldiers, armored vehicles, and air support lose against what are essentially a bunch of shambling corpses. Now, there are a few pieces of zombie media with slow moving zombies, such as Project Zomboid or the the WWZ novel (pictured above), that explain why the military is struggling/losing against them, but when it comes to things like the Walking Dead, it's just really stupid. I know that this is done because story has to happen, but I still really hate it, especially as a military nerd.

Your singer character does NOT have to be named Octave because haha got it, an octave is a musical term. Your moon worshipping character in your fantasy story does NOT have to be named Luna. Your ice controlling character does NOT have to be named Coldius Frostson. In fact i think they would appear less like cardboard cutouts if they had a name that wasn't a gag. Are your character's parents stupid or what ?

Bonus (but towards the negatives, i'm not sure if there's a real word for that) if you think you're slick and use the word but in another language than the one you're writing in

İT İS NOT SMART AS YOU THINK İT İS!
Anything is deadly if it’s in my lungs god damn it it’s not as smart as you think it is “Oh my power is to summon chairs boom I summoned a chair inside you haha you’re dead” lets say my power is to summon gum sure I can still use it that way but there are plenty of better uses I could swing around like Spider Man use it as an airbag during crashes or falls or even use the color of the gum to camouflage myself if we really want to get creative just stop summoning stuff inside people’s lungs please

Idk who to credit but the character’s name is The bubblegum gentleman look him up there are some cool art of him

its gotten a lot more popular, especially on twitter and a lot of chatbot websites. No, you cant chop the hair off an Instagram model and call her a tomboy 😭 its lazy, unimaginative, and kinda reductive. This is just a peeve of mine, but i notice a lot of people share the same sentiment

edit: why is this so popular

As you know, in some shows, comics, and other media, there's this trope where a love potion makes the person who drinks it fall in love with the person who gave it to them.

So... when was this ever a cute or funny thing to drug someone with?

I have nothing against the trope itself. I actually think the idea behind it can be really interesting. You can explore what happens when someone wants another person to love them so badly that they take away their ability to choose. That's basically what makes Obsession interesting to me. It doesn't have a love potion, but it has a supernatural wish that creates a similar situation: someone using something supernatural to make another person love them. You can use this kind of premise and make something good out of it.

But treating it like some cute, funny thing to do to someone? No.

And this comic is just one example. I get that the joke here is that she already liked him, so the potion doesn't actually change her feelings. And yeah, I know it's supposed to be a silly comic and isn't taking itself seriously.

But bsffr. There are other ways to show that she already liked him without making drugging someone so they fall in love with you the joke. I don't think it's funny. I don't think it's cute. Call me stuck-up or whatever. Downvotes on the right, I guess.

And the fact that it's drawn with cute pastel colors and cute characters doesn't change what is actually happening. You're still giving someone something without their knowledge or consent that is supposed to alter their feelings and make them romantically attracted to you.

That's where it starts leaning into assault/rape territory for me, but some of you might not be ready for that conversation. This comic isn't the first example of it, and it won't be the last one

don't get me wrong, either of these would be great for me or anyone who wants it. but, i don't like how the characters clearly dislike it or at least are flustered by it, they literally did not consent?! they look incredibly uncomfortable, another trope which i hate (when someone is blushing/flustered)

ALWAYS making the peacocks female, but giving them male features, idiots know nothing about sexual dimorphism, that's not how birds fucking work. So scared of making a male character who's a blue bird I guess, and making a female peacock WHO SHOULD BE BROWN colourful and pretty!!! Tell me you know JACK SHIT about birds, nature, and biology without telling me!

It shouldn't pmo so easily but like i have saw so many movies with those stupid drawings that look so unnatural for a kid to draw... Like holy, a kid wouldnt do it that detailed!!!!
I mean how hard is it to get a kid to do it, instead of hiring actual artists that can't clearly replicate a child's style of drawing

I’m not saying straight people can’t or shouldn’t read and write about queer people, but so often (especially gay men written by straight women) it comes off as fetishistic and objectifying by both the writer and consumer

Edit Note: Ok, so I AM autistic, as Aspergers IS part of the Autism Spectrum. I just chose to separate the two because for the longest time, I had assumed that they were completely different from each other. My bad.

(I know Aspergers is now an old term that's since been diagnosed under the Autism Spectrum Disorder list for more than a decade, but I chose to separate the two for clarification)

For this smug, I hate how, whenever in tv shows or films, whenever there's a character that is stated to be autistic, how they're handled goes under two specific routes.

Option 1 depicts the said autistic person as this savant who is extremely intelligent & knowledgeable on nearly anything that comes into their field of expertise.

And then there's Option 2 (or, as I call it, "The evil route")

Option 2 depicts said autistic person as a complete idiot who's so low IQ that it's astonishing how they even made it to adulthood without sticking a fork into an outlet and frying themselves, or whatever dumb characters do that would cause grievous bodily injuries or death.

For the past 4+ decades, autistic people have often been depicted as walking potatoes, and it wasn't until the late 90s - early 2000s that media depictions started showing "autistic" people in a more positive light, and even then, it's still a gross inaccurate representation of the disorder.

Yes, I am aware that there are some autistic people who fall under one of these two categories, but not all autistic people are like that. Most act completely normal, and you wouldn't even think they were autistic in the first place.

For God's sake, man, is it really that hard to create women who actually look like they belong to other races?

It seems like such a difficult task to pull off, doesn't it? Come on.

It annoys me, but at the same time, I find it funny how women of other races are basically just human women with different skin colors, it's incredible.

In real life, you can see the pyramids FROM THE CITY, so it always pisses me off when media makes it seem like they're some big structure in the middle of the dry desert

(second image is a real picture in Egypt)

This post is not gonna be about Jax/Leroy Mateo from TADC because that's not the point I want to make. Rather, the idea that we asked for complex characters only to end up not liking examples of that trope.

Like, I dunno about you, but I never see people wanting "more" complex characters in fiction. As if we have a shortage of those in an endless number of shows/books/video games/movies. Tired of simple characters? Go find a profound piece of media like a Naoki Urasawa manga or smtg. What's stopping you?

Also, it just implies that complex characters are the end-all be-all. As if they're inherently better than simpler characters. What about execution? Should a character be as good as how it does its job in what the writer is trying to do with them? At least that's what I think. Maybe it's all up to taste.

And lastly, just because a character is "complex" doesn't mean we have to like them. You can dislike a character and still acknowledge that they are well-written or complex. And guess what? Since I advocate for good execution, I can still find a complex character poorly written too.

Wait, is this nuance? Oh sorry for reminding people a tragic incident. It's a concept that's been killed on the internet.

Their always the same 5 premisses:

”evil scary amber alert with the stick figures from bathroom signs with evil scary monster!“

“stick figure does shock value thing which is explained by text”

”seemingly normal broadcast gets interrupted by evil spooky thing ahhhhhh”

”scarryyy found footage with evil shadow thing standing in the shadows then you get jumpscared“

“still images of monsters with text explaining what they are”

apart from almost all of them (especially the newer ones) falling into one of these cliches, I have a few other problems with them.

for one, they often just don’t make a lot of sense. like for example, the images on screen are from an analog horror called the parallel, which basically takes place in a world where there’s a bunch of monsters that kill humans in various often extremely edgy ways. the second image is explaining what one of the monsters does. dude, HOW THE FUCK did humanity even evolve with those things existing. Also, for some reason the series treats the monsters like they just appeared, but also in the lore they’ve been around for all of human history. Like I know they say “suspend your disbelief“ but this is fucking ridiculous. but I actually appreciate this series, because it’s not amber alert slop.

So many channels, often using ai, have just pump out shitty amber alert videos that aren’t good and don’t even look like real amber alerts. theres also a sub genre where they take popular characters and make analog horror out of them, which is impossible to take seriously.

Most of the older/influential ones (like mandela catalog, vita carnis, boiled one, ect.) also havent aged all that well, but that’s just a consequence of the things they did that were innovative at the time but have become cliche and overdone. I think the main reason that there’s so much of it is because it’s super easy to make, so both content farms and up and coming creators can capitalize off of it, but if your gonna make something, try to make it good. Also by no means am I hating on any of the creators of these projects.

This totally makes sense. Water should freeze at a tempreture thats significant. 0 is a good baseline for water freezing, and 32 seems more random. Also, water boils at 100, which also makes sense. It makes more sense that water reacts in important and noteworthy numbers, rather than uninteresting ones.

I hate this little guy. I hate him for a bunch of other reasons but this one in particular also applies to other characters.

In universe he's supposed to be completely deaf from birth, hence he is also unable to speak(or rather, he can vocalize but it just sounds like baby talk because he has no idea how proper speaking sounds like). The hook of the story is that he is supposed to find his way in the world and overcome challanges despite his disability.

BUT then on the literal first episode he just gets a magical buddy that can magically understand his googoogaga speach and is constantly around him to translate whatever he wants to say to other characters that don't know sign language. It's not a magical ability of his buddy btw. He can just do that because the plot said so

Then it turns out that he can also read the lips of literally anything, including talking snakes who obviously talk completely differently to humans, and said magical buddy who doesn't even have a lips to read. He can also somehow read the lips of characters who are facing away from him and characters in full armor who don't have their mouth visible???

He was supposed to have been taught to read lips by said talking snake, which there are multiple things wrong with:

a) As I've already said, snakes obviously don't vocalize in the same way that humans do so any knowledge he gets from the snake wouldn't apply to humans

b) SNAKES DON'T HAVE HANDS!!! which means that the snake can't use sign language, so how would he even convey the information? It would be like me trying to teach spanish to a person who only speaks french, while I don't speak either spanish or french

Like at that point why even make him deaf in the first place? It could have actually been interesting to see how a deaf person can manage for himself in a medieval fantasy society but we were just robbed from that in favor of the most lazy solution

It also kind of detracts from any of the scenes where we are supposed to be at awe about how far this guy has come becasue I know DAMN well that it wasn't because of his own efforts, it was because the plot completely waved away any problems that his disability would cause whenever it became too inconvenient

Really feels like the disability was just tacked onto the character to make us pity him more without actually adressing the problems that it would cause to the character

in the society we live in right now it's not possible to " make fun of everyone equally" making fun of communities that already have a hard time is not equality it's just mean

jokes that make fun of all communities and identities can only work if the society we live in treats all communities equally and that's not the place we are right now it'll just perpetuate the already existing hate and animosity

this applies to other shows too like South park

this is not to say satire on marginalized communities are bad per say i just think it has to be more respectful and not just " hahaha man look like women funnyyy"

edit :-

" family guy has phased out this kinda humor " - that's great ! it doesn't change the fact that this still exists and it still promotes and perpetuates hateful rhetoric.this clip and " jokes " similar to it ( not just to trans people but other marginalized communities as well ) are still circulating across alot of accounts in almost all social media . and in times like now where the descision around trans people is so controversial it can normalise hateful rhetoric

" family guy makes fun of maga too " - it does not matter . maga people aren't worried about hate crimes on them or hateful discrimination . besides just cus a show makes jokes on maga or concervitive politics does not mean it's okay to push down marginalized groups

" watch a different show " - this is ( for a lack of a better word ) an ignorant argument. me watching a different show does not change the very real harm " jokes" like those can and are casing

edit ( again )

" oh? so what you want " special privileges for some groups ?" " - in a sense yes I do think certain groups and communities require there jokes to be written with some respect and thought . if you are a part of a marginalized community and feel as though you never felt bad or scared when you hear those jokes then that's great ! im happy for you . but it doesn't change that other people are still being profiled based on there identities and subjected to violence, hate or even murder and to ignore that and how jokes from even shitty shows like family guy ( which still has a massive viewerbase btw ) can maybe help people normalise hate is ignorant

I know this sounds fucking weird but hear me out.

The new Scary movie poster and news made me realise how no one dares to actually use dark humor how it is meant to be used. By referencing recent events, tragédies ect. But also sensitive topics.

​

Nowadays when I hear dark humor it is just all pronoun jokes, or political agenda disguising as a joke. Like what the fuck. That shit being called dark humor is like finding milk spicy.

​

I dunno, when using dark humor, ecerybody is afraid to offend the political border they belong to.

​

If you want to use dark humor. Use all of it. Wanna joke about religion. You should joke about all of them. Wanna joke about a tragedy? Sure, it can also help you cope.

​

Of course, that was only addressing social medias. What about movies?

​

Their dark humor is not dark humor anymore. It feels like dozen of marketing people washed it over to avoid media outrage. Like someone gets shot in the neck in Scary Movie and no Charlie Kirk joke?? Only being offensive with bad words i said in middle school and such.

​

I might be the only one seeing that. Heck. I might even be wrong.

​

But I wanted to see if I was just seeing things ornot.

​

(Btw sorry if it doesnt read well, english is not my first language so I hope I make sense)

I know plastic surgery has been a thing for a long time, but I’ve noticed how plastic surgery marketing has cleverly shifted its advertisement to kind of a “female empowerment” thing, like a “do what you want with your body” type bullshit. And I see girls my age fantasizing and shit about getting surgery like it’s as normal as going to the fucking hair salon

‘Most’ people who get plastic surgery get it to make their face more aesthetically pleasing, but I do acknowledge deformed people who need their face fixed because of a freak accident or medical condition,

anyways I still think getting plastic surgery is conforming to the patriarchy by changing your natural features into something that is more socially admired, and all these dumbasses acting like it’s female empowerment when the main reason for plastic surgery is because your insecure and you don’t fit the societal norms for beauty. And it also infuriates me that plastic surgery on my fyp is targeted towards young girls like me which is absolutely sick. And I’ve noticed on tv that they try to advertise Botox like it’s some fucking medical treatment.

I miss when plastic surgery had a bad reputation. And when I try to say something about it people say some bullshit like “Let women do what they want with their bodies😕” or “ Let women breath 😣!!” It’s conforming to the patriarchy behind progressivism

imagine getting the free win button and not pushing it.

i would understand if the stronger character didn't know that who they caught was fast af, but it would still be better if the faster character does something clever to make the stronger character let go of them.

yes, it is tiring to hold someone like that while hitting them, but it's still better than not being able to hit them at all. also i see this trope even when the character is overwhelmingly stronger, as in, they should be able to keep a hold of the other character indefinitely.

and even if the character is a brute who doesn't think, holding onto your prey is instinctive, even animals do it.

this is only acceptable if the stronger character is arrogant, or if letting go geniunely doesn't make a difference for them for whatever reason.

edit: i forgor, animation is from pierce animations in youtube.

Listen, I LOVE flails. I am not against impractical weapons, but something about a combat scythe is TOO CRINGE.

It's like overly detailed metal album skeleton cringe.

Giving a character with a combat scythe either bat, demon, or angel wings would not even increase the cringe. It stays the same. That's how cringe a combat scythe is.

Everytime I see a character with a combat scythe, I hear the sound of an edgy guitar riff.

There's been this trend I've been seeing a lot of hating on Iron Mouse and Bbno$, calling them IDF soldiers and that they ruin all media they touch. I know most of it is jokes, but the joke has gotten far enough to the point where people might take it seriously and despise these creators for the crime of... making subpar content.

Yes, Ironmouse is really cringy and her song "Cry For Me" kinda sucks. Saying that is fine, but some people are genuinely treating her like a horrible person for this.

I really can't stand Bbno$'s music. But does that mean he's some "agent from Israel" like people are saying? No, he's just a dude who makes mid music.

Comparing them to IDF soldiers or Israeli plants is a whole other issue. Along with the issues previously mentioned, using Israel and the IDF as a generic "haha I don't like you so you're this thing" joke downplays the atrocities they've committed.

Edit: Art is subjective. I personally don't like their music, but some people may and that's absolutely okay. I will admit Cry For Me is kinda catchy.

the "cute creature is actually devil incarnate" trope was funny like, what, the first five times? It's SO. DAMN. OVERUSED. it's a fun concept, but I hate having it appear so many times.

an example of this I absolutely hate is Iscream from Chikn Nuggit. "ooo it's a cute bunny but oh no it's actually the devil" WOW! HOW ORIGINAL!

I'm bad at explaining my hate towards something, I hope I made sense

No, we audience are not monsters for like to see stories with violence, or play games where the player can hurt people. Yes, we like to pretend, kids play like they are fighting, people enjoy box and martial arts that are a toned down version of a real fight, say that we audience like to violence if we get no consequences for said violence isn't a clever observation.

Specially hate it in games when they are like "huh, you choose to kill people instead of take other options" And then the game don't give you other option or the other option just end the game instantly. Just look how you can't choose in spec ops until the end of the game.

You could argue that blood money give you other option, but there's a tiny little detail: Harvey is the one that give you the money, why he gives you more money the more you hurt him instead of... I don't know, run away or say that he wouldn't give you more if you keep hurting him?

Is extremely hypocritical cause the writers act like we point a gun to their heads and force them to add violence in the story, is your fucking story, why did you add extremely gory scenes? Why did you make the main character suffer that much? Afraid of make a lighthearted story?
