Equality

I was in an abusive relationship. Whenever my ex-girlfriend and I got into an argument, which was often, it eventually led to me being slapped or punched. The physical damage was nothing compared to the emotional toll, but not one time did I ever strike back because that’s not the kind of person I wanted to be. I don’t want anyone, regardless of gender, to have to go through that. A lot of people are making a great many assumptions without proper context but all of that aside I’m more disheartened that people would actually believe that I would perpetuate violence against women. Violence is a problem. Jack and I were not making some grand sweeping statement about feminism or trying to say that it’s okay to hit women. We were shooting the breeze talking about some crazy videos we saw on YouTube. The main point that some people missed out on is that it’s not okay to hit ANYONE.  Equality is an ideal. But ideals taken in the literal sense don’t fit the world as it exists today. An eye-for-an-eye is literal equality. Men and women being able to hit one-another is literal equality. There is a SERIOUS imbalance to that particular equation that needs to be solved but as a whole it’s still not the kind of equality I fight for. I fight for a world that eventually forgets what violence is. I would gladly lay down my life to change the world today so that when I’m long gone and forgotten someday there will be a generation that only remembers humanity’s violence and greed in history books and children’s tales. My videos are only intended to make people smile and I’m sincerely sorry that this one in particular failed to do that. I’ll always hold myself to a higher standard and I hope that you all will too. And remember to keep smiling! :D -Mark

Natsu literally wanted Lucy to strip for him (obviously). Like, he completely ignored Mira, an absolutely stunning model who people would legitimately kill for just to see her in her birthday suit. He was only interested in Lucy.

Seeing some real JJ hate and it’s pissing me off

For starters, the whole ice kiss thing - kissing the ice is a perfectly normal thing in figure skating. This isn’t about him being in love with himself - it’s sort of an emotional thing - a kiss goodbye, a thank you to the ice - as cheesy as that may sound - or just that they felt they performed well.

Canadian ice dancer Scott Moir - and you’ll remember JJ’s parents are supposed to be famous ice dancers - did the same in Sochi.

More infamous yet, is Canadian figure skater David Pelletier’s kiss on the ice during the 2002 Olympics where he and partner Jamie Sale were at the centre of a judging scandal that originally cost them gold. Interesting to note: Sale and Pelletier had a son named Jesse Joe Pelletier. French-Canadian dad, figure skating parents and JJ initials? Coincidence?

And then there’s the whole “he’s so cocky and arrogant and I’ll like him as soon as he shows he’s not a terrible person.” According to the wikia, he does a lot of charity work in the off-season, as any good Canadian athlete would. How is charity work not a good thing?

Then there’s this:

Crossing yourself is a Catholic thing. He’s religious. I highly doubt one can say the creators made him a hypocritical religious person, so I think it’s safe to say that he holds those kinds of values.

Is he a cocky, arrogant bastard? Absolutely. But over-confidence does not make one a bad person. I’m a huge fan of Dearka in Gundam SEED, and I don’t see people complaining about his arrogance. Besides, saying things like “I’m the only one that can pull this off” could entirely be a mental tactic.
