Princess Bubblegum being shot again.

So something I've noticed is how shipping culture/fandom treats POC especially if they are black. Black characters are often excluded from shipping discourses or treated as the disposable black love interest and so on. Not to mention a lot of hate towards black characters for "getting in the way" of ships really reaches overblown levels (e.g. Supercorp shippers to Jimmy Olsen, Keith/Lance shippers to Allura, Reylo shippers to Finn). On stuff like a03/tumblr top shipping list rarely include black characters.

Telling a therapist that you’re depressed because nobody is writing fan fiction smut between Finn and Rey Palpatine from Star Wars 9.

Well now I know Potato’s trashcan has some good shit in it.

I don't know who she is, but I've bagged hotter and I'm not even all that anyway.

[Daffy Duck]

good

one question: if it's absolutely clear that it's a fake screenshot, maybe in a really unserious/joke thread or whatever, is that ok? i'd think so but it's better if i ask beforehand

I mean, if it's just a joke thread then who cares? I'm talking like, someone fakes a Switch 2 announcement or attributes comments to someone that they never made or something actually harmful or disruptive in some way. We're not using this to come down on silly threads.

If you are caught trolling or using fake screens to misrepresent information, or fabricating a screenshots as a joke or to engage in trolling, you will be given a severe ban.

Can't even stay consistent.

Given a severe ban

Christ almighty, have a fucking word with yourself using such extreme language. What an idiot

I am curious if they’ll ever give Star Wars a break again. Even if there’s the occasional high (Andor and…Andor season 2?) it’s been a consistent sludge for nearly a decade now.

Crash Bandicoot will get hate because of this at some point, so as any other game they publish. Cool.

I went looking for Nepenthe's post where she says you should never compromise but didn't find it, only found this which is close enough:

Things will not get better if we continue to presume that we do not have the power to collectively enact change for each other.

The first steps are to actually educatate ourselves regarding prior revolutionary successes and doctrine around the world, and then to organize our communities within that image through things like neighborhood pods, mutual aid orgs, and small parties. And in the midst of our organization, we cannot compromise philosophically with conservatives or even liberals because they absolutely will try to drag us back to the status quo. They're personally enriched by the cruelty and thus see no need to work towards truly moral and equitable standards.

The answers to change the vile state of our country have existed for pretty much hundreds of years. We have to simply read the work, follow the advice, and be uncompromising about it. Honestly? Get off Era primarily for this kind of work because this is not and never will be a revolutionary space. It's a liberal one.

It's hilarious how Nep appears to fall for the exact same thing the study critics. She believes all she has to do is to organize, the people who agree with her extreme mindset are all already there, they just keep twiddling their thumbs because dear Leader Nepenthe hasn't appeared yet.
At the same time she also believes it's basically impossible find middle grounds so where does that actually leave her political revolution?

Shockingly - - Nepenthes absolute and intentional ignorance about, well, everything outside their own perceived experience means while they're writing their long diatribes about 'the global south' and redistribution of wealth are completely divorced from the reality that as they have a roof over their head, personal transport, potable water, access to healthcare and 3 square meals daily they are in the global top ten percent of wealth.

In Nepenthes head, you kill a few billionaires and then everyone is living the fake life tiktokers portray.
Realisitically, they'd be one of the first to absolutely lose their shit if their working hours doubled and their pay was halved.

If you guillotined a billionaire and redistributed their wealth across the entire US (US only, fuck the rest of the world) everyone in america would make about tree-fiddy out of the deal.

[Eric Cartman]

Truly, the greatest gift the next Spiderverse movie can give us is having Gwen settle down with Miles so Princess Bubblegum and Echoes can finally declare war against those meanie blacks that won't let Gwen be the heckin wholesome transbian she always was.

She turns to the camera, holds up her birth certificate and DNA test to prove she has always been female, and then Cammy from street fighter walks in and also turns to the camera to confirm she is super straight and only wants cock and the idea of lesbianism makes her ick

[Eric Cartman]

I think this is the most Nepenthe thing Nepenthe has ever said. Holy shit. 

Nepenthe: "I'm awesome because I can get through to Trump voters and conservatives because I speak to them like normal people, even though they're all so fucking stupid and not worthy of my time and energy."

Trump voters and conservatives when speaking to Nepenthe: 

Hey, come on now, this is hugely unfair.

I think most people on any rational part of the political spectrum would also be face palming after a couple of minutes listening to Nepenthes takes on socio-economics and geopolitics

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

She brought us Andor and The Last Jedi, the two best pieces of Star Wars media since the original trilogy, so it's hard to be too upset at the missteps.

Curious to see who replaces her.

The force projection shit was terrible. Luke handing Leia the lucky dice and then revealing it wasn't even real was terrible. Would've been better if Luke actually stopped being lazy and went there himself and died fighting. Fuck you.

and I'll never forgive them for cutting scenes of my nigga Finn.





 I don't support films that take away scenes from POC to promote a white woman more.

This reply nails it

I mean, I dunno much about "major shipper communities" or whatever the hell there may be, but in the places I've seen shipping that tends to be the opposite, trending towards fetishism, if anything.

One thread crying about validating (  ) the CHUDs and the other admitting the Kathleen Kennedy wasn’t shit.

They can’t just admit “man, Star Wars is in even worse position than Marvel”. 

Also, fuck quality, is about owning the CHUDs.

Dude simply cannot talk in sentences that don't contain superlatives or subjective opinions trussed up to look like objective facts.


And that's an objective fact.

What's more bizarre is the morons out there fighting culture wars who say that ep 9 was a "return to form" and "fixed everything wrong with Last Jedi".

You'd have to be literally retarded to find anything enjoyable in ep9.

One of the worst movies ever released and that is not hyperbole. It is even worse in the context of the greater Star Wars history.

It's equally interesting to me that of all that was said you choose to just respond to a single throwaway line with a meme and metacommentary instead of having any interest in discussing the actual points. Thanks for confirming what you're actually interested in talking about.

I see Star Wars fans are having a real one today.

It’s a testament to what state Star Wars is in that they’ve actively been returning to the prequels.

I know it's a meme but only like 2% of the group are playing CoD in that screenshot

It's time to let this meme go lol

How is this still being posted in 2025? oof

You still have this on one of those hard drives they dug out of ancient Egypt?

Misinformation spreads again

Why are these guys so worked up about this meme? It's gotta be more than just pedantry about the specifics of the screenshot...I can't help but notice that this list is almost a who's who of obnoxious posters. I mean, "misinformation"???

Are they implying that this Modern Warfare 2 boycott...worked?
