The thing that gets me about this fandom is that not even six months ago tumblr users were talking about how the show is racist because the 'smart' gem (Pearl) is coded as white, and the wild and strong gems (Amethyst and Garnet) are coded as black, and how this makes the creators racist.
What the fuck happened to change everyone's tune from "This show is racist don't watch it" to "This show is perfect everyone should watch it"?
this series was fucking everywhere in early 2013 so much so i couldn't scroll thru a single page of my dash without tumblr savior blocking at least 3 posts
and then a few months later almost everyone appeared to drop it at once and to this day i still wonder wtf happened to piss so many ppl off so badly
Re: rule 63s always played with prettier, hottier PBs than they should have
i'm fine with the lena headey fancast myself because like someone said, there really aren't that many female actresses who got to play action-heavy roles the way she did so it's a nightmare finding caps for them. plus lena's only a year younger than karl urban anyway.
Well, I was using her as a more recent example. It was more aimed at whiteknighting in general. You could name anyone: Mike, Nemo, Hellion, so on, and they all have a group of people who will coddle and defend them like they're completely blind to the legitimatcy of peoples' dislike of them.
Though I will admit White2 or whomever she is was definitely the first I've seen publicly hide behind her religion where a large group of people could see it. Which could just be me. She's a complete insult to her own faith.

Exactly. It reminds me of spiteknighting if I'm remembering that properly. A bully goading people because they know they'll lash back. Basically proving they win with their superiority with having made you lash out. Obviously that applies to trolls, too, but I mean more specifically people who will make others lash out just to prove that you're still the bad guy. "All I did was shove you" sort of thing.
dropped out of my game, quit plurk and am now only focusing on the few psls i have going. so sick of plurk culture and dwrp game culture. feels nice to be away from it all.
As someone who voted yes to powers already, I did so with the assumption that the mods aren't going to let them be completely untethered and overrun the plot. That would be sorta stupid. Personally, I would like the opportunity to use them within the confines of the setting as far as what the Capitol or D13 will allow, not simply having them 24/7 and not being completely restricted from using them.
I'm going to put this in short and sweet, because this topic isn't worth the time to do it in detail. The FAQ doesn't say what you're saying it does. You've assumed that Steampunk trumps statements like "The internet will work like here, only for Eros." There's no rule against it. Sorry, but we're stuck with the stupid fonts. Unless you want to take this up with the mods and see if they'll make a ruling. You go, do that thing if you really want.
i watched bsg after it ended and grew increasingly disillusioned with it it during s3&4 so i thought the much maligned finale wouldn't piss me off that bad
i was wrong
lee shot all their technology into the sun are you fucking kidding me
but i also look at it as a shounen anime in the same vein as cute western kid friendship cartoons with wacky styles and not like teenage boys buttfucking in my heart of hearts
They also haven't accepted or denied any apps at all when last time they were going through them in a flash. Wonder if that's because of the whole plagiarism thing last round.
