discourse about redemption arcs would vastly improve if instead of always asking “is this character redeemable?” people started asking “what message would it send to redeem this character?” and “would it be logical or satisfying on a narrative level to redeem this character?”
also i am begging people to realise that redemption is not the only possible kind of development for a villain. they can progress without it being a positive change. it’s so boring and restrictive when the only reaction to a new bad guy is debating “will they be redeemed or not?”

Except no that’s not what happened, that’s not why he sued, he sued because when he went to ask for more napkins, the staff started racially harassing him, all over fucking napkins. As for the amount, ut was probably exaggerated by the lawyer so when the court shrinks it, McDonalds would still have to pay at least something.
There are no such things as frivolous lawsuits made by individual people.
McDonald’s (and most businesses) have insanely good pr departments. The woman who sued McDonald’s for being burned by their coffee was turned into the face of “people will sue over anything” because suing over coffee being hot sounds ridiculous, right? Except for she was literally burned to the bone. The pictures are nauseating. What she went through was horrifying.
If you ever find yourself ridiculing an individual on a company’s behalf you’re probably just repeating pr propaganda
This is one of several hills I will die on.
I am begging consumers of media to understand that a character saying something doesn’t automatically mean that the writer or writers intend it to be understood as objectively true.
Lol a mom and in your 30s? What’re u doing writing smut?

what if we were little cats and we touched noses. what then?
i hate to break it to you, but literally every human being in the world has done something “problematic” at some point in their lives. expecting people to be perfect is just unrealistic.
friends to lovers never had a bad track. “scared i’ll ruin what we have” SLAPS. “friendship cuddles while secretly dying inside” BANGER. “teasing each other and holding eye contact for a little too long” KILLS ME. and don’t even get me STARTED on “screaming i love you in the middle of a heated argument.”
i hate most callout posts because they almost never are useful to me… like “some famous guy made jokes about nazis when he was 16, 5 years ago. he deleted them but we saved them so you can look at them in detail” actually i didn’t want to see that! if he’s not doing it now i don’t really care. if you don’t wanna interact with anyone who’s ever said those things, that is 100% good for you, block them/unfollow them! but the reason i am forced to see this now is not because of him, it’s because of you
or i saw a callout w 3000 notes for some nobody blog with like 200 followers, because they had a secret sideblog with gross problematic/fetishistic kinks about trans people… and like dude. why did i need to see this. the sideblog had like almost no followers or notes. now me and countless others are exposed to all this gross shit, because you made a callout to “raise awareness”
