Spoilers galore for the folks who haven’t played some of those very good games!
I saw Yaldabaoth and thought “shit! I haven’t beaten P5 yet” and then realised in admitting that, that I have. Weird.

From Penny Arcade:

i moderate a subreddit with 200k users. the mod team (5 of us) will individually report a dozen or so troll accounts a week. admins rarely do anything to those accounts. it’s defeating and continually disappointing. reddit attracts the lowest common denominator that’s for sure. fortunately the majority of people on…

im not sure how i feel right now, sure it calls attention to the issue at hand, but anyone who’s ever had even 1 black friend has know forever that the system treats non whites differently. i don’t know if im hopeful for change, or if im disappointed that it took a video murder for anyone to acknowledge it. fuck the…

Who?

Oh man, you’re in for a heck of a ride if you start looking into it. The vocaloids are essentially crowd-sourced pop idols. It’s wild.

There is a entire category of vocaloids in Japan that had been around since a very long time.

Holy crap. Just googled ‘Hatsune Miku’. Is this thing a computer generated pop-star? like....its not a cartoon representation of an actual person? Holy shit this is insane lol I knew Japan was a bit eccentric but damn son.

Seconded. Look, if you’re not into Korrasami, that’s entirely fine (I’m pretty neutral/apathetic on both Zutara and Kataang).  But the folks who claim it came out of nowhere just seem to not have been playing attention.

I respectfully disagree:

For real. I still can’t believe there are people out there who can look at that scene and deny that they were setting up a romance between them.

As someone who loved ATLA but didn't get involved in online fandom until Korra, I was surprised that Zutara was a thing. Zuko never really had any relationship with Katara before switching sides. His thoughts were always on Aang, his father, or his uncle. She was just another person to fight on his way to capturing…

Rock that GMG union pin

Toph and literally anyone. She was the best. Blind Bandit for life!

But can’t characters form solid friendships and be close to one another without fans trying to make them romantic? Do all characters who get along have to date or be romantic? It seems a little reductive.

Even though Korra was in a wheelchair, when Asami told Korra that if she needed anything, and she meant ANYTHING, that gave me a case of the vapors.

Totally valid video essay, and you’re entitled to your opinion 100%.

But pre-teen me would still like to argue: Zutara’s whack. It’s been whack. I was a child, and I knew it was whack. It makes absolutely no sense to me. The entire show built up how close a connection Aang and Katara have with each other. It’s a…

Even as a kid, I was relieved that Zuko and Katara didn’t get together. A romance between them would’ve bored me (and frustrated me, because of the implication that girls always fall in love with boys they initially hate).

‘Codependent’ is generally not a term used to describe a healthy, functioning, and stable relationship.

They’re like the perfect fanship which is why the Ember Island Players parodied it. Opposites with a chemistry which creates heat and friction but exists in a fictional world so the fact all the negatives that would arise never do. They’re the kind of couple that would date and be enamored with each other for like six…
