It Continues To Be Funny When People Who've Followed Me For Years Go "wait You Actually Study The Occult?

The series Ahsoka is coming out soon, and in light of the recent comments by Ashley Eckstein...

... I figured I'd also point out that people hated Ahsoka.

Every complaint you've heard about Rey? It had been hurled at Ahsoka about 7 years prior.

“Oh, she’s fighting Grievous and she’s only, like 13?! That’s so OP!”

“She feels like a Mary Sue written for a prequel based fan fiction.”

“Oh, she disobeyed an order from Yularen on Ryloth?! She’s so snippy!”

“Ugh, I hate her and her stupid voice!”

“She’s always pointing out stuff other characters have missed, like she’s so perfect! She's a Mary Sue with an annoying voice and personality.”

And honestly? I remember that period. People despised Ahsoka (and sometimes voiced anger towards Ashley Eckstein too), just like they hated Hayden Christensen, and most Prequel-related content.

But guess what? They weren't the target audience. Said Eckstein in her 2018 book It's Your Universe:

“Ahsoka’s arrival on the scene was met with mixed reactions. She had a big personality and was very snippy. [...] She talked back to Anakin, and some even called her bratty. Critics didn’t quite know what to think, but kids loved her. Finally, girls had another character besides Leia and Padmé to play on the playground — and now there was a lightsaber in their hands.”

They didn't "fix" Ahsoka, as you'll see on some click-baity YouTube thumbnails.

She had a fucking character arc. There was nothing to fix.

The whole point of her character is that she starts out as immature and petulant as Anakin is in Episode II. This forces Anakin himself to grow up, so he can better take care of her.

Eventually, they both mature together... and at some point, Ahsoka surpasses Anakin by learning and implementing the Jedi teachings, while Anakin remains stuck on that first part (no thanks to Palpatine).

Same thing goes for Reva. The character has a goddamn arc.

I'm all for putting a "save the cat" moment to make these characters more likeable (and even when they do, like they did with Rey, then somehow the problem becomes that they're too likeable), but at the same time, I think parts of the fandom should wait and see before prematurely hating on a character (who almost always "just happens" to be female, weird!) to see what story is being told.

you're disgusting. fuck you. go kill yourself. i hope you die

omg my first ever hate mail

how do merchants even know your goods are stolen anyways. like if i find a nice shiny amethyst on the ground its perfectly good to sell to whatever merchant will buy miscellaneous objects but if i just so happen to find the amethyst in some nords satchel they can tell i obtained it through nefarious ways ?? but if i kill the same nord and THEN take the amethyst from his inventory its totally not theft and okay to sell to merchants ??? are they pro crime or not

same, this was the beginning of the end for me

Tacoma, Washington. (December 2024)

Do you notice how most recent Sinfest comic just don't have characters anymore. With the old Sinfest it had characters with clear defined personalities like Slick, Monique and Squigley while the newest comic characters don't even have names and either incredibly bland or just antisemitic stereotypes.

It's kind of poetic, the way racism replaced his comic piece by piece, illustrating how much hate consumed him. This year, he didn't have a New Year's storyline. The year 2024 just kind of stopped being in the comic and hasn't been acknowledged, and there wasn't even a "Happy New Year" strip, I waited until the first Sunday of the year and it's just literally burning a trans flag and locking up The Jew. Even the art is bad, completely devoid of all the cartoony charm it once had.

This strip is often posted as "the finale of Good Sinfest", and it's not that he doesn't make strips like this anymore, he can't. He's no longer capable. Those skills are gone, that man is dead. Sinfest as a comic hasn't existed in years, and the comic on it's web site doesn't even superficially resemble it, and the man who makes that comic doesn't even superficially resemble the man who made Sinfest. There's just nothing left of that guy any more.

The amount of hate for the Fallout show is wild?? Especially for most people who are spewing it having not watched it.. at all, and are just going off of what others say on social media.

Like the amount of vitriol and toxicity being thrown to anyone who even LIKES a Bethesda Fallout game or the show on Tumblr is crazy?

Please just let people like what they like. It's not that deep.
