yeah tbh it seems like about half of all "tsunderes" are emotionally and physically abusive psychos who get forgiven for it because of their issues
the other half are...just normal girls who aren't doormats and have feelings and opinions, who are nice to people who are nice to them and chew out people who act like jerks. like people generally do. but i guess women can't show a negative emotion without it being pathologized somehow.
the thing i hate about the su fandom is that it seems to be dominated by people who believe the tumblr definition of abuse, and people who embrace bad understandings of mental disorders, so now you can't argue that a character is not a fucking abuser without getting called an apologist because there can't be any nuance allowed
depends bc the word tsundere has lost all meaning now.
you got characters like asuka who aren't just "tsundere" because she has a ton of issues and it's not romanticized and it does get ugly.
them you have shitty anime trying to do this formula but their tusnderes just come off as crazy assholes and it just looks like wish-fulfillment for dudes.
it was already the fucking worst, but stevenbomb introducing jasper took it to a new level. now everyone makes it personal right off the bat too, like i have seen so many people crying about how jasper is just like their abusive ex/mother/podiatrist so people shipping her with peridot/lapis/onion makes them Uncomfortable. newsflash: lots of people have been abused by women and a.) like cartoon villains anyway b.) don't want to bring up our fucking abuse to the whole world to get in a pissing contest with you because you couldn't just ask your friends to tag their problematic fave.
anon, that's the point. it's not a case of the idiom being that they're selling an imaginary thing, but rather a worthless thing. swamp land is extremely hard to build on, that's why disney world was initially able to buy the land so cheap. you have to basically fill it all with cement.
Do new games go through a testing period? Is this a thing at all?
I don't mean test-drive memes, I mean starting off the game with the mods and some of their friends who are sure to be interested in playing there, and playing through an initial set-up for a couple of weeks before opening apps to the public.
You'd have a better idea of any glaring issues with the game's setting/rules, you'd have some characters to guide the new ones, and a better sense of what the game could be like for anyone trying to app in.
no, because i can tell you right now that would bring a whole lot of wank. 'oh the mods/mods friends didn't have to do the app process' 'it's all wankers' 'they're in ahead of everyone else and are getting all the cool stuff' 'i wanted that spot' 'that's not fair'
no but they honestly should. especially since that would cut out any "omg it's a new game i'm going to wait to app so i can be sure it won't die" bullshit
also if you wanted to make one i think you should. our game styles are slowly changing. app challenges used to not be a thing, now they're common. same with anon mods. now we're getting in to app caps and bi-monthly rounds. maybe this is a new thing we should try too
this is the new thing now in fandom, steven universe fandom is just full of it because it's a fandom that got big on the tumblr platform mostly, just like homestuck.
character arguments are so political because every character reminds someone of their abuser so they'll try to say nobody can like them or else you're liking their abuser!!!!1
fandom's gotten worse with people being unable to separate fiction from reality, they literally can't comprehend people liking characters who do bad things because they're bad. even the fucking kids steven universe is aimed at are better at separating fiction from reality than the tumblr fanbase that in their early 20s.
