If I See One More Person Say That C!dream Was The One To Build Pandoras Vault The Way It Currently Is—

It’s really fun being in a fandom with such a terrible reputation /s. I only witnessed the shit show that was superwholock and homestuck from afar, but now I get to experience it first hand!! Every day I wait with bated breath for our first truly iconic drama

We know that early dsmp streams and content are lore, right? Stuff from before anyone started roleplaying, still counts as part of a character.

That means that cc!dream, messing around with his friends on the server, is a canonical part of c!dreams character.

So why do people argue that c!dream was abusive and a bad person this whole time???

i refuse to use the tags/terms ‘apologist’ or ‘sympathiser’ because no one knows what the fuck they even mean

You’re back! I missed your posts, have a flower 🌻

Thank you for the flower! I missed being here also (well I missed posting,, I may have been lurking just a tad)

But no I’m not done explaining why this shit is hot homophobic garbage and anyone who reblogs it should be ashamed of themselves

Tommy reacted to Buck’s genuine show of vulnerability and fear and bid for connection with reciprocation. He opened up about his own father and his experiences with Gerrard.

It wasn’t “out of the blue” Buck said “we both have daddy issues” with a smirk on his face. He was flirting. He turned the conversation horny.

If your argument relies on ignoring half the actual lines in the scene, it’s just bad logic. You get an F in Media Analysis.

“I would have killed him with a gun” god Good Thing there’s not a well documented pattern of people killing gay men for flirting with them and getting away with it or that would read very poorly. Oh Wait.

“Poisonous” in reference to a gay man is just classic Lavender Scare rhetoric.

The whole vibe of acting like Buck, who again, was the one that first brought up daddy issues, is some passive observer being preyed upon by Tommy? Homophobia. Textbook homophobia.

Blocking anyone who calls you out is troll behavior but that doesn’t excuse the people that reblogged it uncritically. It especially doesn’t excuse the person that put it on my dash.

Killing a surrendered enemy is a war crime

I have a love hate relationship with the name pandoras vault.

On the one hand it’s so cool! My first thought when hearing it was that it’s so clever, and I love mythology references (plus the continuation with ‘Theseus’ is rly nice)

But it also does the exact same thing that the fandom does to c!dream. The metaphor of the name directly compares him to the embodiment of all evil; and suggests that anyone who lets him out would be a fool, who is putting everyone else in grave danger. The contents of the original pandoras box weren’t people capable of change, they were instead concepts.

some dictionary definitions to review:

C!dream antis often end up weirdly pro c!dream??? If he truly is a ‘monster incapable of empathy’ I find him less responsible. Whereas if he cared about people, understood their feelings, and hurt them regardless? That makes his actions so much worse.

If you think c!dream deserves torture because ‘he doesn’t have any empathy’, you are not an ally to autistic people.
