Me: I Hate Country Music

hey is it gay to invite a woman you just met to spend the night, show her your many paintings of naked women, and then have dinner together out in a field

Starco shippers are heartbroken, tomco and tomstar and other shippers are rejoicing, and I’m over here being one of the five Star/Tom/Marco shippers and feeling somewhere in between..

OK K.O

I dunno if you are aware of this but anyway

well you know what i have to say to that?

I mean he can tell me they have three seasons of development and mutual feelings all he wants, but that doesn’t make the context of that development somehow healthy or not messed up.

Especially when the show ADDRESSED that a lot of this is messed up and not ok to begin with.

If you’ve watched the show this long and don’t think there are any uncomfortable situations placed upon these kids that pressure them to date, and also think it’s somehow romantic these two have been hurting other people who care about them for each other and don’t really suffer consequences for it, then that’s a problem.

there are ALOT of problems with how they set up their romance, and it’s hard to watch because i both feel uncomfortable since they’re kids and everyone seems to be pressuring them to date. And frustrated because their romance hurts their relationships with everyone else because some of their worst moments on this show, come from it.

Marco kicked jackie away like she was nothing, for star.

Star, ignores her own boyfriend, and ditches him for marco repeatably.

Marco wasn’t even planning to go back to earth again.

Star, was spying on marco’s relationship for months apparently.

And no one sees a problem with this?

This isn’t healthy, and the sad part is marco and star don’t really feel bad for most of this, even when the show addresses it star and marco don’t really deal with doing this stuff.

we waited most of the season, to even address the crush.

I would prefer the see the secondary character’s be treated with more respect then this, then have all their feelings brushed aside because star and marco’s romance matters more then how it has affected other people?

Even if you find some of this romantic, you cannot deny there are some serious problems in their relationship that need to be fixed for their relationship to be healthy for them.

I want these characters to be better then this, better friends and better people who actually learn from their mistakes then get a pass for being in love.

I liked star and marco more, for being characters that felt bad when they hurt people or did something wrong, then for getting a pass for everything they do for love, because it makes them feel more real and like caring people i can enjoy watching.

Adrien is the definition of a Nice Guy: says "M'Lady", gets mad when he's rejected, and can't take no for an answer, so instead he hounds the object of his "affections" despite her rejecting him over and over again, ignoring her when she says she just wants to be friends.

And people are falling for the "Romance" (Misogyny!) of this character and plot, hook, line, and sinker.

This is why calling out Adrien's behavior matters.

Real Life girls are being influenced by this show into thinking that Adrien's behavior is romantic, cute, and perfectly acceptable.

Real Life girls are being taught that a guy harassing you means he's in love with you, and that you should just give in and accept his feelings.

Real Life girls are being taught that endlessly pursuing a guy, that stalking, that stealing his phone, that memorizing his schedule, are all fine and dandy if it's 'for love'.

Miraculous Ladybug is a fun show aimed at kids, and young girls especially. Which is WHY the behavior being shown positively in the show matter so much, why people (rightfully) call how Adrien acts as Sexual Harassment--

Because that is what it is, even if sex is not mentioned or implied.

He's been officially sexually harassing her ever since she said she was in love with someone else, and just wanted to be friends-- and when he ignores her express wishes, and continues to pursue her, despite her many and continued, heated rejections. Adrien, in episode 3 of SEASON ONE, lied and said that he and Ladybug were in a relationship to a ma,n purely because he saw him as a potential rival for his affections, causing the man to be akumatized, and never apologized or told Marinette the truth about what happened.

Adrien's behavior is not okay.

Marinette has been stalking Adrien, stealing his possessions, memorized his schedule, and successfully lured his bodyguard away from him without Adrien's knowing, so she could ambush him into going on a date with her. Marinette has bullied and violently driven off any other girl that gets close to Adrien, since she sees them as competition for her affection. She doesn't want him to have female friends that isn't her (taken, dating someone already) BF.

Marinette's behavior is not okay.

Miraculous Ladybug is teaching it's young female viewers that a boy harassing you after you've told him "no" is romantic.

Miraculous Ladybug is teaching it's young female viewers that stalking your crush, stealing his phone, and controlling who he can be friends with is just you being "quirky" and "boy crazy"

If you've never considered the character's behavior in this way before, it's because that is by DESIGN. There have already been multiple instances of the crew in charge of ML sexualizing their characters, drawing porn of their children characters, racism, bigotry, and other disgusting things. Feel free to look at the "ML writers guillotine" tag for examples.

TL;DR, love the show, but be conscious of the messages it is spreading, and do your best to reduce the harm to the kids growing up consuming this world. Fiction impacts reality, especially when it's middle-aged white men directing shows aimed at young girls.

Tom and Star hugging but Tom bring Marco in is the sweetest thing I've seen this week. Like it wasn't Star it was TOM.
