No Longer Just A Love Interest

No longer just a love interest

Btw these are with reference to a post by Mr.Fanboy on YouTube.

Always nice to see Uravity getting some much needed appreciation.

wait for it…

The statue scene is actually a little more interesting considering we now know that Adrien thinks Marinette is objectively hilarious.

It wasn’t just a prank. It wasn’t just a lonely boy trying to make a relationship with a friend better.

Adrien was trying to joke and banter with her in even the slightest way he does with Ladybug, all without the protection for his heart that comes with all of his masks. All because he wanted to be closer to her.

He just wasn't prepared for how game she would be to that.

it really bothers me that so many people on this site treat ableism like it’s black and white.

just now i saw a post where op was like “i’m glad that spinners are popular because it normalizes fidgets and decreases stigma” and someone replied like “no!! it’s absolutely TERRIBLE that neurotypicals are using these fidgets because when they get in trouble they make things harder for mentally ill kids!!” and like you guys do realize that? you’re both right? it isn’t a decisive fact that neurotypicals using fidgets is either good or bad, there are both benefits and consequences that need to be taken into consideration.

a few months ago there was a post going around that was like, *neurotypical voice* why are you bouncing your leg, and somebody reblogged it saying that the post was ableist because autistic kids can get overstimulated by leg bouncing. i go to a school for the mentally disabled, and i’ve been in this exact scenario, my classmate wasn’t able to focus because i was bouncing my leg and although i felt bad i told him that i wouldn’t be able to stop for long because i do it subconsciously due to my adhd. he wasn’t being ableist for asking me to stop, and i wasn’t being ableist for saying i couldn’t, we just both had different needs. in the end, our compromise was that i went to work in the computer lab.

you have to understand that there is always more than one side to issues like these, and that we should be striving for understanding and balance over demonization of one side and blind support of the other. this is especially relevant when people on both sides are mentally ill or disabled, because sometimes symptoms will clash and you just need to deal with it.

Inspired by that stupid billionaires post:

It would really be nice if we could get some kind of discursive consensus to put ethical debates over inequality in economically literate terms, like:

A focus on consumption inequality. E.g. “I think it is immoral that some people get to consume so much while people in Africa go hungry.” Better yet if some actual statistics on consumption inequality are introduced, rather than the old “X% of people own Y% of the wealth”.

Actually considering trade-offs when talking about wealth that is invested and not consumed, like, “I think society currently invests too much in benefiting future people who will be richer than us, rather than in helping the poor to consume more here and now.” Or even, “I think we are too far past the point of diminishing returns in investment, where too much is wasted on speculative ventures that won’t pan out. Even though some of these will have returns, the money is better spent on present consumption.”

Instead of “rich man have all the money, no fair” vs. “rich man work hard for money, yes fair”.

Yeah, I agree.

i know spy x family is the hot new thing but just a general trigger warning as the anime approaches the event from manga: yuri briar, yor’s brother, has a sister complex that’s primarily played for laughs
