You want more minority representation in media but if they have flaws its problematic and if theyre perfect theyre a patronizing mary sue. If they crack under the pressure of the conflict the author thinks that minority is weak and if they overcome the adversity they must be a neoliberal bootlicker who thinks real world bigotry is a matter of personal attitude. You want minority characters but if theyre a villain its violently problematic and if theyre the protagonist then we circle back to the very first sentence. If theyre a side character theyre being sidelined and the author is once again bigoted, and don't you know that every single minority character death is unilaterally bigoted, without exception? You want more minority characters but if their identity is a big part of their personality or struggles then they're problematic and if their identity has nothing to do with their personality or struggles then the author is tokenizing that identity for clout. You want more minority characters but every time theres a minority character who doesnt have every single experience that you have then you tell the author to kill themselves on twitter. You wonder why not even minority authors will write minority characters.
I would ask you to read Catch-22, but you'd just call the military base problematic.
the entire ship: WHERE’S HISOKA
hisoka: damn this new one piece movie slaps
"i hate love triangles" "i hate cheating" "stop writing about love triangles and cheating" people write about love triangles and cheating because complex emotions and romantic conflict are deeply compelling themes. get good.
I'm gonna say it.
It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.
That is a bonkers assumption to make.
I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.
I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.
the origins of the “what are you two FUCKING talking about??” meme is almost funnier then the meme itself

Twitter is slowly but surely dying
I might as well came back here soon
Fooooooooood!!
In 2015, I compiled a list of innuendos spoken by the different characters in Crash Tag Team Racing. Here they are, though I’m certain now that it’s an incomplete list:
Coco (when clashing): “Hey, not so hard!”
Coco (when destroying an opponent vehicle): “This is why this girl likes big guns.”
Crunch (when starting a race): “Let’s… get… bizzay!”
Crunch (when destroying an opponent vehicle): “Call me daddy!”
Crunch (when picking up an item): “Mmm, lay some, sugah!”
Crunch (when running over a Park Drone): “Not even prison-pretty no more!”
N. Gin (talking to Crash): “Crash, you must point me in the direction of the nearest lavatory. MY ROCKET IS DRAINING!”
N. Gin (talking to Crash): “Crash! We must really stop meeting like this! I told you… only after 10PM… don’t call me here.”
N. Gin (talking to Crash): “Oi Crash! You… didn’t see me with that peacock feather, did you?”
N. Gin (when Crash attacks him): “Ow! That hurt! Thank you.”
N. Gin (when starting a race): “Okay, who thinks they’ve got the marbles?”
N. Gin (brushing against an opponent’s vehicle): “That hurt my colon so much!”
N. Gin (brushing against an opponent’s vehicle): “Ow, my chapped thighs!”
N. Gin (when his vehicle is destroyed): “NO! The sweet pain!”
N. Gin (when his vehicle is destroyed): “Oh, the sweet searing agony!”
N. Gin (when his vehicle is destroyed): “The delicious burning!”
N. Gin (when picking up an item): “Oh, the firm love of a fine Power Crystal.”
N. Gin (when winning a race): “More! Shoot more lovely weapons at me!”
N. Gin (during the credits): “Hey– what? Stephanie, I love you! You can touch me if you want… hee-hee-hee… please.”
Dr. Cortex (when attacked by Crash): “Nobody makes me bleed from there!”
Dr. Cortex (when attacked by Crash): “The pain! The sweet pain!”
Dr. Cortex (when starting his vehicle from a standstill): “Ladies react very favorable to that.”
Dr. Cortex (when starting his vehicle from a standstill): “Oh, I love that rumbling sensation!”
Dr. Cortex (when starting his vehicle from a standstill or passing an opponent vehicle): “Who’s your daddy?”
Dr. Cortex (when passing an opponent vehicle): “Ain’t my backside pretty?”
Dr. Cortex (picking up an item): “I’m hiding this Crystal in my special place.”
Dr. Cortex (picking up an item): “Begin quivering with excitement!”
Dr. Cortex (when brushing against an opponent): “Come back here and plow into me like a man!”
Dr. Cortex (when brushing against a wall): “¿Dónde están mis pantalones?” (Translation: Where are my pants?)
Dr. Cortex (when brushing against a wall): “Summon my proctologist!”
Dr. Cortex (when destroying an opponent vehicle): “It’s not my fault he sucks platypus eggs!”
Dr. Cortex (when hit by a weapon): “Fool! Watch where you’re aiming that thing!”
Dr. Cortex (when hit by a weapon): “I’d rather be the hammer than the nail.”
Dr. Cortex (when clashing): “Wow, that felt good!”
Dr. Cortex (when clashing): “Now move a little to the left… that’s better.”
Dr. Cortex (when clashing): “Not bad! We need to see each other more often.”
Dr. Cortex (when de-clashing): “And I’m spent.”
Dr. Cortex (when de-clashing): “Now tell me how my backside looks. Tell me!”
Dr. Cortex (when losing a race): “That’s just wrong in every sense of the word!”
Dr. Cortex (during the credits): “Hello, Michelle! Be seeing you later. Oh, and Michelle, say hi to JOE’s kids, Neo Andrew and Neo Nicole.”
Dr. Cortex (during the credits): “Mr. Plumbly, you really know how to shoot one pass the goalie! Wink wink, nudge nudge! Little Plumbly is proof of that.”
Dr. Cortex (during the credits): “Trevor would like to thank the Olsen Twins, whom he’s never met.”
Dr. Cortex (during the credits): “Hello, Corey’s wife, Laura. You dirty girl!”
Dr. Cortex (during the credits): “And Dwayne Shephard. Nobody says [insert long bleep here] with such authority.”
Nina Cortex (when de-clashing): “Was it good for you, too?”
Pasadena (when talking to Crash): “You gettin’ heat stroke, Crash? You need mouth to mouth or somethin’?”
Pasadena (when attacked by Crash): “Stop whoopin’ me~”
Von Clutch (when picking up an item): “Oh, I am tingling with delight! At least I think that’s delight.”
Von Clutch (when running over a Park Drone): “I know that shouldn’t feel good. But it does!”
