people need to hold characters that aren't shoving their actions to your face accountable.
i think gangle being a character a lot of people found themselves in is great. but like, that makes people think so flatly of jax specifically because their characters are directly tied to eachother, gangle fans like to frame jax as this heartless monster who manipulates people for fun and consider her a victim and proceeds to ignore her flaws entirely, and im not saying this because i like jax more than gangle. this was a problem in ace attorney with miles edgeworth fans too, and my favorite character is miles.
while yeah yes absolutely jax is not the kindest guy out there and definitely should be held responsible for what he does but the problem is that they dont do the same thing with other characters. if you dont hold gangle responsible for the employee reevaluation as a way for her to "get back at" jax for what he does then you shouldnt hold any other character for what they do either, like the fact that ragatha called gangle annoying. that was because she'd been repressing her "rude" feelings for so long they resurfaced when she was on the stupid sauce, you can't blame ragatha for that either. gangle is so deeply flawed i hate to see her characterized as an angel because people dont seem to realize every single character is also trapped, not only their favorites. every single character hates being there and i hate to see people think only their favorite has depth.

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.
They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.
Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

Hey I know this page is for silly goofs and gafs. But if you are in the US right now and you’re scared of what’s going on, like so many people, like me.
I want you to know you’re loved, and it’s ok to be scared to be terrified, it’s ok to feel that right now, it’s ok to grieve.
But once you’re ready I want you to stand up tall ok. I want you to stand up tall and be so loudly proud of who you are. Do not let them silence us, do not let them win!
We will not be silenced, we will not go away, and we will not let them win.
I saw this quote from @tadc-incorrectquotes, and I HAD to draw it

Genuinely think the only way to approach art is to like the things you like instead of tearing down what other people like.
"You should read classics because those are real literature unlike that TikTok garbage." Bad. Turns people away from reading the classics because it makes them sound stuffy and boring and makes you sound like a snob.
"You should read classics because this book is amazing! I love the characters and the story, and it's so cool to read a story that uses different techniques than modern fiction does." Good. Makes people want to read the classic. Suggests there's something good in this story instead of just suggesting that other stuff is worse.
"You don't like the modern art? That's because you're an unwashed plebeian who only likes what's pretty." Bad. Puts down the person and makes them even less likely to be interested in this type of art.
"Wow, I love this painting! Look at the technique! I love the message behind it!" Good. Helps the person to appreciate what might not be obvious at first glance, instead of shaming them for not automatically knowing this.
"You should watch this show because it's so much better than that other garbage show." Antagonizes people who like the garbage show and makes them less likely to feel positively toward the show you like.
"You should watch this show because it has great writing/characters/plot etc." Good! Tells people what makes this show appealing and makes them want to try it.
"I listen to this music because it's real art and not that manufactured pop garbage." Bad. Makes your genre seem like an exclusive club of snobs that I don't want to join.
"I listen to this music because I like the sound. Here, listen to this song." Good! Shows me something good within the genre and may encourage me to explore further.
There's a place for criticism. You don't have to like or approve of everything. But it's not a great technique for getting people to like art. Hating on the things that are bad just drives people away. If you want to draw people toward something, you have to help them to appreciate what's good.
