Terrible Character Ideas:

  • A monk based on a European Christian archetype. They have sworn a sacred oath to defeat the giant snail plaguing the countryside.
  • A dragonborn desperately trying to convince the party that they’re really an aarakocra with a skin condition that made their feathers fall out.
  • Your standard horny bard, but they play a washboard. 
  • A sentient hat piloting a mannequin.
  • A dark elf who’s afraid of the dark, and terrified of spiders.
  • A peasant farmer who joined the adventure because they’re going through a midlife crisis and want to ~find themself.~
  • A druid who got involved because they’re the party’s weed dealer.
  • A werewolf who doesn’t believe in the moon.

op change the title to “Great”

OP are you kidding

THESE ARE AMAZING

what if they were all in the same group tho

Why are people having so much issue with the article, I agreed with it? The title isn’t the most eloquent thing ever but the article wasn’t encouraging cheating, where you go behind your partners back, but instead looking at the issue of cheating as a not black-and-white thing where there’s one horribly evil person who just wanted to have fun/get laid with one traumatized-for-life victim. Instead, like most- nah, let me say with ANYTHING in real life beyond fiction, the article sees the grays in cheating and why the person cheated in the first place. Not to say that cheating isn’t a horrible thing to do, but I feel like people need to understand that there are reasons people do the things they do. People who cheat are human beings. They could feel horrible about it, they could be trapped in a marriage or relationship that they don’t feel they can escape, they can feel insecure and unloved. Again, not to say it’s something you should ever do, but dehumanizing someone over a mistake is just as bad in my opinion. There’s nowhere where they can talk about their experiences, and it’s likely we know a lot of people who have cheated in our lives even if they haven’t (or were too scared) to tell us about it.

Me, a Slavic girl: I can’t wait to see Netflix Ciri! Finally some positive representation for Slavic girls and our culture! My friend: I know right? Slavic people are usually portrayed as evil criminals and kgb agents, and the girls are always a helpless victim, a prostitute or sex slave. And when she fights back she’s usually some assassin who gets westernized, turns good and betrays her country to join the west. I can’t wait to see our Ciri!

Me: Yesss about time we get non-offensive representation! The Witcher is like Black Panther for our people! Ciri is my favorite character and role model! Can’t wait! Netflix: We’re looking for asian or black actress to play Ciri. NO Light-skinned people please (we’re totally not racist for excluding people according to their race)

Me: …. :(

My friend: ….

I guess we Slavic people are still considered ‘untermensch’ by the west and we aren’t allowed to have positive representation….especially girls…fuck Slavic girls right? They should be happy with all the sex slaves and prostitutes for ‘representation’, right? 

Thanks for showing how much you hate us @netflix 

Superhero movies gotta die by 2020

Nvm they gotta die tomorrow

i feel like this is greatly simplifying what has actually happened. james gunn made those tweets long before the first guardians movie came out and has since apologized for them and pledged to do better. disney was aware of these tweets when they hired him. james gunn has also been outspoken about his views against trump, earning him hate from the far right.

but this right wing guy named mike cernovich, who is known for creating fake outrages like pizzagate, and has made disgusting rape tweets of his own, dredged up the tweets recently to create new conservative outrage (and there was plenty of outrage when gunn was first hired for gotg because of those tweets, which iirc is when he apologized for them) with the sole purpose of hurting gunn’s career.

please can we take a step back from the knee-jerk for a second. yeah the tweets were garbage. we know it. he knows it. and he apologized for it ten years ago. like bonzai-bunny said, disney was AWARE when they hired him for it. he’d already publicly apologized for them. i could care less what happens to gunn. the issue here is that he tweeted extremely anti-trump stuff, and then vile alt-right accounts dug up old, and already addressed, garbage with the sole intent of getting him fired. they didn’t want him fired for the 10 year old tweets. they wanted him fired for being anti-trump. that’s why this is such a big issue, and that’s why the cast is speaking out. 

whats the point in letting people grow if we burn them to the ground over decade old stuff that theyve apologized for? i guarantee not one single person reblogging this post has never said something vile, gross, or disrespectful. would you expect everyone to immediately delete their blog forever? i’m not defending what he did: it was gross. but he already got his punishment for it 10 years ago and he apologized. there is a bigger picture here, and its not about the 10 year old tweets. 

yeah you don’t have to forgive Gunn and accept his apology but realize this entire thing was orchestrated by the online far right specifically in response to Gunn opposing trump and they specifically went looking to frame him and cause a controversy

They aren’t just looking to cause controversy - they are testing the waters for how big of a fish they can take out before they turn their forces on smaller, less supported artists and creators in media that are anti-Trump.

If Disney will knee-jerk turn around and fire the director for one of the most profitable and beloved veins of what is one of their biggest franchises at the tip of a hat, what chance do smaller, less supported people have?

On top of that, they relied VERY SPECIFICALLY on the reaction of the LIBERAL LEFT to do this. They leapt on the conditions that online call-out culture has created to take down someone who, as posted above, has already done their time. They’re literally using exactly the kind of thing this post started out as to take out anti-trump support. 

Use your goddamn noggins for a second here, would ya? You don’t have to like James Gunn or the MCU or Disney, but you do need to be aware of the type of precedent this is setting.

Oh no the spooky online far right boogymen are at it again. You sure it wasn’t Russian Bots?

As far as I know or care, a leftist got caught in the same sticky web of inquisition and callout mob culture that his side did their damndest to promote as a “weapon” against those who disagree with them.

Whoops
