One of my least-favorite things ever is “attacking one social ill by making use of another.”
Like fighting sexism with ableism: “Classically-nerdy communities have some serious entrenched issues with corrosive views towards women. As if anyone would want to date those fat, socially inept losers anyway.”
Or fighting homophobia with classism: “The American South has a ton of rampant casual homophobia. Clearly, everyone below the Mason-Dixon line is an inbred pigfucker who can’t tell right from wrong.”
Or fighting terrible discourse norms with a whole cocktail of awfulness: “This online community harasses and doxxes any of its members who break from the party line. See, this is inevitable when you get a bunch of coddled teenage special-snowflake SJWs together.”
If you’re going to criticize someone’s bad behavior, please do, but keep a tight focus on their behavior and don’t drift into character-assassination or regressive stereotyping. “People who do bad things are the people at the bottom of the social ladder” implies the reverse, and we have enough of that already.
what if lapis lazuli’s wings arent her weapon and we’ve never seen her pull it out cause her gem is in that one spot on your back that you cant reach and she’d look like this if she tried
I want the Deadpool movie to have absolutely no regard for
the fourth wall.
I want Wade to do something and be like, “damn, that’ll look
amazing on the big screen”.
I want him to laugh at people watching in 3D when he whips
his katanas out abruptly and they undoubtedly flinch.
I want him to be in the middle of an intense scene and then
ask someone to step an inch to the left and when they exasperatedly ask why I want him to look right down the
camera and say “so you don’t ruin my dramatic close up”.
I want him to reference his own comic books. Even just have them laying around wherever he’s
calling home.
I want him to make fun of Marvel.
I want movie Wade to have as little regard for the fourth
wall as comic book Wade.
