What Is Your Favorite Jojo Chapter, And Why Is It Diamond Is Unbreakable?

Reblog if you say "Y'all"

I wonder what's next from streamers like the one I talked about in this post

A live reading of The Turner Diaries to raise money for the Holocaust Museum?

Or Elliot Rodger's manifesto with the promise to give some money to a DV shelter?

Oooh, what about a shot-for-shot remake of Birth of a Nation and donate to a Black charity?

After all, according to them, any amount of bigotry is canceled out by money.

Some good feminist YouTubers for y’all!

Feel free to add!

I'm watching Phantom Blood again, and I like to think that Dio Brando decided to do one nice thing for Jonathan.

And that one nice thing was killing George Jostar.

Like, Dio spent years watching how George treated Jojo and was just like "Damn! I might hate Jojo with every fiber of my being, but no one deserves to be treated like this by their own dad. I'm gonna spend the rest of my time destroying this guy, but I'll at least do him one favor and get rid of his asshole dad for him."

I have unfortunately lost my voice and I won't be able to stream tonight.

I should be back in full force tomorrow.

If you'd like, leave me a message letting me know what you'd like to see tomorrow.

Diablo III?

Control?

Cyberpunk?

Far Cry?

Left Behind?

Or The Selection (which is one of the worst YA books ever written)?

Saw your post and who am I to deny an opportunity to rant about terrible terrible twilight knock offs?

Okay so ever since twilight came out in 2005, there's been a load of knock offs inspired by the "vampire=hot and sexy/mysterious" and while some of them are, this author P.C cast and Kristen Cast saw the idea and cranked it up more than was necessary because what the hell.

The book is called House of Night and there are lots of books. And the idea of being a vampire was that you had to be marked/chosen in order to undergo it's transformation which. If you were chosen, you had to be with a fully fledged vampire until you were fully fledged yourself which is a long process (around four years) and what is a better place than being with a bunch of fully grown vampires than a academy with other chosen with the fledglings as the teachers?

I'm not gonna lie, it's a great concept but it's terrible what the authors done with it. Transformations don't always work and the chosen sometimes die, but in order to prevent this- you had to be pretty and not fat. Shockingly this isn't the worst thing on the list of how many messed up things this book had done

Then the authors worsen the book more by having the characters be problematic. (They sl#t shame a lot and this doesn't make sense since it's common knowledge that drinking human blood /blood in general is sexual in the story)

Examples include saying the r word, fetishizing queer characters, making a white character "twins" with a black character because they're just so alike like using aave as an example (and the black character she's twinning with is terribly written as well so it just ends up more terrible)

And absolutely terribly horrendous relationships!!

The main character is the "not like other girls tm" and so she gets the bad boy, some sort of thousand year old grandpa boyfriend, a TEACHER boyfriend, and a human boyfriend 😭 (for the amount of shaming this book has, the main character is getting busy with every boy she meets)

AND WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK MORE WORSE is that they thought it was cool to use Indigenous culture but strip everything about said culture so they can fit use what they thought was cool to use in the story. Im happy for any type of indigenous reputation as an indigenous person myself but WHY

They just made the main character (who was named Zoey redbird btw, cool last name tbh but absolutely shitty character) have op powers and call her a "Cherokee princess" with no respectful mention of Cherokee culture at all. They just made their own thing and slapped the word Cherokee on it and shipped it as representation.

For a character that's supposed to be non-white, she was acting the opposite despite being close with her grandma who was Indigenous (+ being stereotypical) and inheriting op powers that were meant to be from her "culture"

PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH

I don't even know how I saw past the red flags as a kid reading this book but now that I have, I'm just so angry just thinking about it 😭

I hope this rant of mine was entertaining

I was just on the right side of too old to hear about this series back when it came out. So let me tell you, it was an absolute trip to see what was in these books when my friends started raving about them a few years later.

Like, this? This is what they were so hyped about? I'd rather them tell me how much they love 50 Shades - well, okay, that's a little too far, but still.

I truly don't understand how any woman survived the absolute peak of fatphobia that we hit in the 2000s. And I'm including myself in that. No idea how I lived through it. These were the days when people were calling Britney Spears fat for being a size 4 instead of a 0. How did women not just collectively die off? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that we made it through, but holy hell it was by the skin of our teeth.

So someone really needs to tell me what the actual hell was going on in the 2000s that made every piece of teen media present teacher/student relationships like a totally cool and not abusive and traumatizing thing. Remember how grossed out everyone was by the Archie/Grundy relationship in Riverdale? In the 2000s, no one would have batted an eye at that. It would have fit right in with every other teen show at the time. I can't watch hardly any of my favorite high school shows anymore because of that. Ugh, so gross.

And holy shit I forgot she was indigenous! Well, in heavy quotes at least. That Cherokee Princess nonsense is such a White People move and I just can't. I don't know what's worse regarding indigenous rep, House of Night or Twilight. My man Charles de Lint isn't perfect and he's fucked it up a few times, but at least he actually tries and shows respect (um, hey, if he's actually far worse than I think, please let me know).

But, hey, in maybe possibly good news, apparently the writers are trying to convince the publishers to let them rewrite the series so they can do something about all the problematic stuff. That at least has the potential of growth for them

Why am I laughing so much at this

Anyone else think Joe Hill might have a problem with women?

I just finished The Fireman, and I've been reading through the short stories in 20th Century Ghosts, and, uh....I don't think he likes women much.

I'm thinking of re-reading Heart Shaped Box next and see if the issue is as prevalent in that as I remember.

Also, I could rant for hours about all the problems I have with The Fireman. I might just do that soon. But thinking about that book too much makes me kind of mad, so I try to keep my mind on other things.

For the book rant- Fahrenheit 451

ITS SO UNDERRATED and listen I don't know if there's controversy about the book or the author, probably, but HOLY CRAP THAT ENDING BLEW ME AWAY

I literally had to put the book down and cry because I was just so taken aback by how devastating and totally world ending that is for the characters. I mean come on, the whole city? A WHOLE CITY? The way it's described is beautiful and I read it over a year ago, that scene is permanently engrained in my brain. It's just so...real. I just felt so bad for them. I can't help how frustrated I get over the lack of love for it.

Its appreciated as a work of "classic" fiction but not for how emotional it is

Well this was entirely unexpected.

Let's all take a moment to bask in some positivity

Also, have you watched the movie? The one from the 60s, not the newer one. It's very good, and has a much nicer ending
