Op Where’s The Flipping Essay??!?!?!??! We Need This!!!

Okay so first of all

And second of all-

The boot lickers really like to correct two points:

Breonna Taylor was not sleep when she was shot: true, she was awoken by the battering ram used to crash her door in at 1am.

Police didn't shoot first: also true. Kenneth shot an officer in the leg when they entered and, naturally, because they're all scared incompetent knobs, they responded in a hail of bullets, eight of which entered Breonna.

The cops claim to have knocked and announced themselves. This is a lie. No neighbors heard them announce themselves. Furthermore, they obtained a no-knock warrant specifically for the sole purpose of carrying out a drug raid by catching a drug dealer off guard and forcibly entering without warning (such as a knock and announcement). They wanted that specific warrant so much they misrepresented evidence to a judge to get it. So they did all that and got a warrant saying they did not have to knock or announce themselves and then just went on ahead and did it anyway? Cause they're just so polite?

They were also in civilian clothing and either not wearing body cams or had them turned off. So I'm not even sure how their word was just taken on all that.

They have indicted ONE cop for something that had nothing to do with her murder, it was for endangering the lives of OTHER residents by opening fire inside of an apartment complex.

A reminder that the person they were looking for, Breonna's ex-boyfriend, was already in custody at the time they murdered her.

A reminder that the mail investigator or whoever they claimed to get a tip from to get the warrant said they lied.

A reminder that the cops submitted an almost blank report with blatant lies, including that Breonna was not injured.

A reminder the prosecution tried to get Breonna's ex-boyfriend to implicate her in his crimes in April, after they had killed her.

A reminder that because of Breonna's case, no-knock warrants are no longer allowed in Louisville (but they knocked right?)

A reminder that the city settled out of court for $12M in the wrongful death suit, so they possibly feared losing in court and paying more.

So... it is de-seat then.

Okay

So, Aggretsuko season 2. We had some good things, some bad, but overall enjoyable & I liked it! That said, here are my thoughts:

I’m so glad that Kabae was given more depth this season! I liked her character in season 1 but was slightly disappointed that she wasn’t given nuance like some of the other characters in the first season, but here she shined & I’m so happy. #KabaeBestMom2019

Anai was… honestly uncomfortable. I’ve dealt woth people like that before (& I’ve even been that person, but thankfully someone told me I was wrong almost immediately), they are not good for a work environment & I genuinely think he should have been fired. His redemption was too sudden & barely explored in any way & that doesn’t sit well w/ me :/

Next, Tadano. Most of the fans love him, but there is a growing group that see him as creepy & possessive. That isn’t the case. Speaking as someone who’s been in Retsuko’s place, they were both in the wrong because they didn’t communicate properly. Yes, they split up because they had different goals in life, but I feel a bigger aspect of them breaking up is that they didn’t communicate well, which is a very important part of any relationship, romantic or not. Tadano should have paid better attention to Retsuko’s reactions to being in such a public light and her feelings in general instead of assuming what he wanted was the right thing, and Retsuko should have talked about her feelings with Tadano from the beginning instead of bottling them up because she has a voice in her relationships. She’s scared to express herself outside of death metal for my next problem…

Finally, here we are. Retsuko’s mom. She is… A lot. Retsuko’s mom brings up a lot of bad memories because I have a father similar to her, demanding and furious when they don’t get their way, while also being infantalizing and taking away freedom of choice. She’s also invasive, both literally and figuratively, and doesn’t respect her daughter as an individual, talking over her and assuming she knows best. It’s played for laughs, but this is a really negative relationship and is what molds anxiety and self-doubt in a person, especially during childhood, and it’s a large contributor to how Retsuko is today.

On a more positive note, I did like the arc between Gori & Washimi. It shows that even best friends can have differing viewpoints about subjects, and while they can be petty about it, willing to put aside those differences for the sake of someone else.

Decided to make skateboarder Peri into her own separate illustration as well, because on this blog we block TERFs and support trans rights.

The entirety of the Johnny Test show is going to super hell for overuse of the whipcrack sound effect and assorted lgbtqia+ crimes!!!
