Semi... Controversial Opinion. But I Dont Think Pansy Parkinson Is Racist. I Think Shes A Bit Of A Bitch

ah yes, an “underage” 20 year old who assaulted someone, was racist, ableist, anti-semitic, and a general asshole to an uber driver that he lied about tipping. dream did not film the video, dream was also 24, and nic actually requested for the video to be filmed, and only got mad bc he knew his fuckups were gonna be released after he lied that it didnt happen! he himself called dream a good human, so did the uber driver, and everybody else in the car says nic was the asshole and dream was just being nice

I hardly get into internet drama I usually just try to stay out of it but the situation with Dream and Nicolas, jokes aside, is actually so fucking crazy bro. How in the world could you take Dream’s side????? A grown adult taking a video of a 19 YEAR OLD (UNDERAGE IF U FORGOT) drunk, high, and having a manic episode, keep the video for months, and use it for your own gain. Dream deserved everything Nicolas said to him there AND MORE. He’s genuinely the scum of the fucking earth and I hope he gets what’s coming to him.

mcu peter sucks, im sorry

in terms of the spider-men/women/pigs, i don’t really have a favourite. however, i do have a LEAST favourite, and that is the MCU Peter Parker portrayed by Tom Holland.

The integrity of Spider-Man comes from that fact that he is a working-class hero, fights for the little guy, and his origin story.

and all that was destroyed once the MCU got involved.

why did they not use his origin story? does oscorp exist? harry osborn?? what?? who tf is ned? why does he have powers? why does this movie suck so much? Why are there zero stakes?

-on the ‘who tf is ned’ point, to clarify, i know who he is. ned leeds, the abusive husband of betty brant. then they make this OOC Ned date this OOC Betty. Huh?

where did ben go? why is stark here? why does he like stark? why didn’t he make his own suit? 

why is he everything spider-man is not?

the writers obviously noticed the problem, because in nwh, they rapidly back-pedaled to him being poor, making his own suits, and not having a billionaire on speed-dial to bail him out of his problems despite the billionaire still being a manipulative jackass and treating him like shit, while representing everything he stands against.

also, i did NOT like the idea of ‘mj’ being a collective spider-man gf term and just changing up the name. zendaya could’ve been mary-jane watson. michelle jones just...

i don’t even care about the fact she’s not a comic character - it’s just the fact they made her mj instead? when mary-jane is mj? idk i just didn’t like that. there are SO many comic characters he could’ve fallen in love with. it didn’t need to be this oc mj. i know people hate sam raimi mj, but she was still cool with sexist writing. comic mary-jane is such a badass. why did they not replicate that? why not ask zendaya to play original mary-jane? ‘cus she’s not white? that shit ain’t a ‘homage’ to the og mj, it’s just awful.

irondad as a concept needs to die already. please. im so done. peter is manipulated and ignored - CONSTANTLY - by Tony. that’s not acting like a father, it’s acting like a jackass. and he HAS  parental figure - aunt May. and he had a father figure - uncle Ben. irondad is creepy and reeks of grooming.

plus, they stole a bunch of concepts (for nwh too, but im not specifically talking about that) from miles morales and itsv. they copied the spider-men meeting each other, and copied miles’ personality for mcu peter. and somehow, miles is STILL more likeable. i miss the days when you could scroll through the peter parker tag without seeing tom holland and r*bert d*wney jr.

but also, literally every other spider-man would’ve been team cap. plus, andrew also said so. they’re working-class heroes. to argue against that is to be wrong. i don’t blame tom!peter for being manipulated and blackmailed. i blame the writers for being assholes, and most importantly, robert downey jr for his 15 million dollar profit off of 8 minutes of mediocre (at best) acting. -(also, saying - he’s such a good actor, he’s tony in real life! - literally makes him a bad actor with no range. someone reviewed dolittle, saying that it was so bad that it seemed like rdj was trying to sabotage his own movie. and i agree.) peter was manipulated and misinformed into being team tony. there is no variation of spider-man that would EVER be team iron-man. unless they’re fckign crazy.

also, tom holland said that if peter parker could bring anyone back from the dead, it would be tony st*rk. no btich.

also howard stark was really hot i just feel like saying that

tobey’s and andrew’s are actually ACCURATE spider-men, and the mcu needs to take notes.

this quickly turned into a tony hate post, but he is the root of mcu peter’s main issues, so.

anyways, stan miles morales

a true icon.

i hate racebending in movie adaptations so much

isn’t it crazy how the women chose the outfits themselves right. so now women making choices for themselves is objectifying right. right.

also i know no one’s fucking watched it bc dude fell off but uh. dreams new music video is pretty blatantly objectifying. like huh. like I’m not against sexy shit but this is pretty blatantly treating women like sex objects and nothing else right.

i think the reason i like the alex rider series, despite generally not being a fan of spy novels, is that alex is constantly and explicitly exploited by the government in order to do their dirty work, and he gets no sympathy from blunt or MI6 at all. alex misses huge chunks of his education and has very few friends because of his spy work. his life is in danger even when he's not on a mission because of the sheer amount of people who want him dead. even in the first few chapters of the first book he nearly dies twice, loses his uncle, and is drugged, blackmailed, and is bullied. most of all, alex hates spying and just wants to live an ordinary life with the freedoms and security of an ordinary teenager. it's much more compelling than if horowitz had written alex as a teenage james bond.

fuck imalexx

if you don’t mind me asking, what is the whole kavos/ slazo situation? i’m new to the fandom and i keep seeing too many conflicting stories.

hi :)) I'm so sorry it took me a while to answer this.

just fyi I'm no expert on this since I try to avoid too much drama but I'm just going to try my best to explain quite briefly. I don't know how much you know, so here's some general stuff.

kavos - he made a lot of videos on alex and some of his friends around 2-3 years ago. alex made some back in 2017. to put it simply, kavos really dislikes alex and makes videos on him every time there's new "drama". I'm not saying alex never does anything wrong, but kavos is usually very unfair and biased when it comes to his videos on alex.

slazo - slazo was a friend of alex and they had made a couple of videos together. however, last year slazo's ex-girlfriend chey made tweets accusing slazo of rape and emotional abuse/manipulation.

she provided some DMs as proof (I'm not gonna include everything but you can probably look this up). alex together with youtubers hyojjin, kwite and kinganii (alex's ex) and others supported chey. it was later revealed that they knew about the tweets from chey before they were posted and wanted to take away slazo's influence because they believed he was dangerous. they did not consult slazo first.

however, slazo made a video explaing that most of the DMs were out of context and put together to portray a narrative. a lot of chey's stories were according to slazo, wrong. some of cheys claims he admitted to, but chey's accusations were heavy and not proven.

personally, I think some of the things slazo actually did admit to were pretty bad (watch the video if you want the details). in addition alex claimed to have heard other stories behind the scenes. although people question alex's motivations, I believe he was mainly trying to support a friend.

still, the way this was handled wasn't great. it took alex and the others a long time to "apologise", and alex continued his support for chey for a while. he got tons of backlash. kavos made videos claiming alex was a "snake", "a danger to the platform' and just a terrible person. in the end alex apologized for not talking to slazo privately and handling the situation better. this is the apology/explanation from alex.

personally, I believe this apology is good, but a lot of people don't, including kavos ofc.

recently kavos has made a video regarding the inabber/eboys drama. I have other posts about that, but keep in mind that they're my personal opinions.

anyways, this stuff isn't easy to put into just one post, but I hope this helped you ♥️

feel free to add stuff and please tell me if I'm wrong or if I missed something really important.

and try not to spend too much time dwelling on drama, this is a lot tbh and I'm not sure how I feel about everything myself. peace ✌️

compilation post of commentary youtubers talking about dream, no drummyaches edition !

note, i might not exactly like 100% of the things said in these videos BUT they ultimately redeemed dream to a very large audience

starting with i think is the most viewed video right now, Will Dream's Response Actually Fix Anything? by Lessons in Meme Culture. it's 2:40 minutes long and the point is simply to open conversation about him being able to successfully redeem himself, but it has a lovely comment section if you want to scroll through that

Dream Just Responded To Everything by AugustTheDuck, had already spoken about Dream pretty positively, lovely guy, lovely summary [ touches earpiece the main studio is telling me august actually was a dream hater but turned around recently, so noting that down ]

Dream's Response was Perfect, But... by EntLaiser, who previously made a video actually speaking negatively of Dream, completely changed his opinion and talked about how meme culture is being used to justify mass harassment, along with being nice to Dream stans and defending them

Pyrocynical made a video. its bad. don't watch it. he gets cooked in the comments though so that's okay. Acheeto also made a video but i don't like the guy so i'm not linking that either, but it was a good video

Dream Finally Responded To The Allegations by sensitive soci3ty. i really like this video but i especially like the comments that bring up a lot of great points, it was refreshing scrolling through them

LIES! by Omni. Omni is really big on the commentary community so his input is valued, this video is long and goes through a lot of unrelated stuff because it's a news segment, but i linked to the timestamp he talks about Dream. it is long, it is thorough, he READS THE DESCRIPTION which i haven't seen anyone do, pretty good

Dream Might Actually Be Innocent by Saverino. this guy is like, the perfect representation of "i only consumed Dream content through social media for years", the most passive onlooker in the world. and his video is awesome, he took a lot of notes, he resumed Dream's video pretty well, and i feel the way he thinks of Dream is how people will look at dream from now on

Dream Finally Responded by Dolan Dark. it's a slob but it's fucking Dolan Dark and he says he believes he's innocent so who cares W for us

other creators we already know and knew they believed Dream, Hot Sauce Beats did a live reaction and so did Nate Alyn if you'd like to go and support them

Dream's Response Was Actually Good by Saamuel. dream hater admitting he was wrong. all is good in the world

Dream Finally Responded To The Allegations by Optimus. don't watch this video lol. he says a bunch of stupid shit, his comments call him out for it, but i am linking it because this guy is huge on the community, a lot of people were waiting on this video on twitter, and he's very clear on saying the allegations are fake, along with shaming twitter antis for their behaviour

Dream's Response Wasn't Good Enough by luhrix specifically talks about the reaction from antis on twitter to the video and how unreasonable some expectations are when it comes to responding to allegations

Does Dream's Response Make Him Innocent? by Blissolic who VERY BRAVELY calls out coyglone ( the guy behind the dreamwastalen account ) for being a piece of shit

Everything haters criticise Severus for is also done by at least half of the other characters in the stories, but for some reason Severus is the one that cops the hate while the others just get brushed over. Make it make sense.

i.e

“He hates werewolves.” - Everybody is prejudice/afraid of werewolves. And most of them didn’t almost get killed by one.

“He’s mean to kids.” - 90% of the teachers in this school are mean to kids. It’s written by someone who went to school in the 70s. Bitchy teachers was the norm.

“He said mudblood.” - Once! And forever regretted it! Draco said it like 15 times and I don’t see hate being lobed at him.

Double standards everywhere 🤦‍♀️

hunger games what if

what i really want to see is a hunger games version of marvel what if. how cool would it be?

WHAT IF...

Katniss didn’t volunteer.

Katniss and Peeta didn’t eat the berries.

Haymitch volunteered in the place of Peeta in the 75th.

Katniss didn’t kill Coin.

Johanna was the sole winner of the 75th Hunger Games.

Gale was chosen in the 74th.

Plutarch was actually evil.

Someone else was selected as 75th’s Gamemaker.

Seneca didn’t die.

Gale didn’t bomb the Capitol.

***

So many possibilities, so little execution. How interesting would it be?

But what I DO want to see from Marvel What If is ‘what if the other half were snapped?’ Seems interesting.

After Some Time (...and a break or two)

Ugh… okay, its here. The big one. Let me preface this by saying I wont be doing a count by count story of what happened, it’s too many hour and headaches that I don’t need to be fair. But I said I’d get to it… and boy howdy has it been swirling in my head since.

The Slazo Situation Revisited

 So small backstory for those who haven’t boarded this crazy train of bullshit and migraines, this story is about a fairly large commentary youtuber by the name of Slazo (Or Micheal) who was caught in a controversy when his ‘Ex-Girlfriend’ exposed him in a Twitlonger for being a manipulative, sexual harasser. DM’s and screenshots of chat logs were shown and it made Slazo look pretty scummy. A few days later Slazo releases his defence video outlining the parts that were true and a lot of points that were fabricated to make him look evil in the eyes of the internet, with added proof and conveniently missing parts of his exes proof that would have exonerated him on the spot in the eyes of the internet courtroom. For opinions sake, yes I do think Slazo is innocent of the more damning accusations that were put against him, no I do not think he was 100% innocent. Of what he was guilty of? maybe being a pretty shitty boyfriend…. though at the age of 15-16… its slap on the back of the head material… not cancellation worthy.

Slazo was pretty much cleared of it all and everybody went on with their day… heck it shouldn’t even be called the Slazo situation, because while his name was brought up a lot, he wasn’t really all that key to what happened next… 

Commentary youtubers from all corners of the internet had an opinion on what Slazo had done and how guilty he was (again, I will not be doing a play by play of every accusation) which boiled down to two camps

1. “Slazo is guilty and here is why… Oh and have a bunch of off-cuff situations I witnessed where Slazo was really creepy that I only just now remember and want to bring up.”

2. “Lotta commentary youtubers being liars, snakes or hypocrites up in here.”

Which in turn brought two youtubers under the microscope themselves, ImAlexx and Hyojin.

Alex first as it’s easier and is the least weird of the two. Alex jumped on the Slazo hate bandwagon pretty quickly and started accusing Slazo of a bunch of things that couldn’t easily be proven, while also completely backing up the story that Chey (the ex) has given in her Twitlonger, despite the fact it had been blown open with so many holes that not even a brain dead goldfish could find logic in it. Alex would later admit he had a part in writing the Twitlonger, as did many other prominent commentary youtubers and friends,outing the Twitlonger as more of a team effort rather than just Chey writing it herself.

After this Alex was accused of a bunch of stuff himself including being a social climber to get more popular since he was a pretty good friend to Slazo before all of this happened, as well as a snake since he supported Chey and the Twitlonger until it was criticised as untrue…. and Alex said the same to cover for himself.

To this day there hasn’t been a clear end point to this, Alex has tried to brush away from it all and has taken the bumps of being called controversial, hoping for it to all die down eventually. (While writing this Alex appeared on the Happy Hour Podcast to give a rundown of the situation to the hosts who admitted they knew nothing of the situation. What’s worse Alex seems to have glazed over many of his own wrongdoings that only escalated the drama further.) Opinion? To be honest, I don’t know… Alex obviously tried to ride the controversy to boost himself, that much is sure, yet when it came back to bite him he tried to hide and wait for it to blow over. It’s sad, It IS snakeworthy and since a proper apology hasn’t been issued… it’s not a good look for him at all.

Hyojin to me was the worst of the two to me. While she didn’t say as much publicly, it was was was happening behind the scenes that just frustrated me.

(Be aware, if you like Hyojin and think she can do no wrong, DO NOT READ PAST THIS POINT. A lot of hot-takes will be thrown out there and a lot of criticism will be put out there too. I WILL be talking about the aftermath at length which is where the support poured in for Hyojin. I will being ripping that apart just as much, if not more for the bullshit that it was.)

Hyojin sucks, and I mean she really sucks. A lot of what was thrown out about Slazo in the Twitlonger allegedly was orchestrated and was the idea of Hyojin herself, taking what Chey was saying and embellishing it with the rest of their friend group. It’s alleged however and won’t be part of the criticism thrown at her.

While the incident was being investigated, Hyojin was too, including her colourful hot takes on Slazo and how creepy he was. Hyojin would never publicly call out Slazo since at the time, anybody who did was getting rinsed by the internet very quickly. So instead she hid on her discord and talked in DM’s about destroying Slazo’s career so he would never recover and deleting messages that challenged how Chey publicly omitted any evidence that made Slazo look like less of a monster. Shady.

During the internet investigations, it was discovered that Hyojin had an old art Twitter where her fictional character was drawn fucking her friends in several positions. The problem was, several of these friends were underage and despite her defence that none of these friends minded…. it was still there for public viewing as was still wrong. One instance even had another youtuber by the name of Kavos in one of these pictures even though he was never asked, nor gave his permission. The irony of all this being that much of what Hyojin criticised Slazo for, she was guilty of herself. Creepy.

Here’s where it gets controversial… probably more for me. Dog dropping rumours aside. (trust me, it was stupid)

Hyojin was getting major flak for everything that was found out about her and it seemed to get too much for her, which is understandable. Her response to all of this was a tweet telling everyone she was going to kill herself. The public response actually became something that confused me, because in the blink of an eye everyone retracted their criticisms and gave out well wishes instead. To make the trend even more sympathetic the youtubers involved in writing the Twitlonger started urging people to give her space and lay off on the nasty comments.

I for one, did not care. Heartless of me? Maybe. But it was all backed up by reasoning. Here was a girl ready to throw the life of a person under the bus for being a slightly shitty boyfriend and lying to make it sound worse. Helping to write up a statement that grossly exaggerated things to such a degree that Slazo was the most hated person on the internet and was blasted by everyone left, right and centre. After he proved to everyone he wasn’t like that, the attention turned on Chey and the friends that helped her and when their dirty laundry was put out there and they were being criticised…. now it was unacceptable? Now it was too much?

YOU TRIED TO OUT A GUY FOR BEING A SEX PEST! Shit that will follow him for life. But people calling out racist remarks you made? the underage porn you had drawn? The toxic behaviour you exhibited to anyone who questioned you?

….yeah that was too much and the line had to be drawn right?

But hey, it’s okay, you can just back to twitter the second the drama blows over and everything is all good now right?

Now this is where I direct it to the people who think that Hyojin is infallible, that she can do no wrong. She messed up bad, real bad. If anything she’s the true villain behind all of this and it’s shocking the lengths people were going to just to defend her. If every racist, abuser or sex pest threatened their life to be let off, this world would be screwed, but the second a darling Tumblr artist with links to popular youtubers does it, it’s a crime to list the irony that she attempted to cancel a guy with far worse repercussions that would lead to life long damage.

The worst part of all of this was that an apology would have cleared all of this. They knew they were wrong but an apology was impossible for them, so instead it’s made bigger, uglier and dirty laundry is shown. If anything, I’m happy it got to where it did since it showed the ugly side of Hyojin for everyone to see. So my opinion of Hyojin?

Fuck Hyojin.
