1) I hate Tony Stark.

Tony Stark is a terrible superhero, with awful morals. 

Tony Stark blackmailed a child to get him into a fight with super-powered adults, tell him little to no information and lie to his guardian about where he is going, and smuggle him across the country without his guardian’s approval.

 He shot the Air Force Pararescueman point-blank when he was going to help Rhodey after he fell out of the sky. 

He tried to lock up a young woman just because of her powers and without any consent of hers at all.

 He gloats at his friends for their defeat. He tried to murder the longest-suffering POW of World War 2 for something he had no control over doing whatsoever due to mind control. 

Tony Stark is a representation of paternal capitalism and has always thought he knows best simply because he has money and is untouchable.

The one thing that will always surprise me is the number of fans Tony Stark seems to have, so many who defend him. ‘It was his PTSD!’ ‘It wasn’t child endangerment!’

That CHILD was fifteen fucking years old. I’m much younger than Tony, but I look at fifteen year olds and see kids. How can he not do the same? And how can nobody recognise that?

Also, every fucking Marvel character has some form of mental health issues. Steve was a soldier in WW2, lost his best friend multiple times, killed himself because of it, and woke up in a different century losing absolutely everybody he ever knew. They all died.

Tony Stark fans never fail to surprise me.

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.

How male victims of domestic abuse often end up getting arrested themselves

Research suggests male victims of domestic abuse are failing to report attacks for fear of being arrested themselves

By: Martin Evans

Published: Jan 14, 2016

Male victims of domestic abuse are reluctant to report attacks because they are often subjected to false accusations themselves, according to new research.

More than 700,000 men each year are thought to fall victim to violent attacks at the hands of their partners, but many are too ashamed to report the offences.

It was thought much of the underreporting was due to men feeling embarrassed by the stigma of being a domestic violence victim.

But new research has suggested that many of those who do come forward risk being arrested themselves, after their abusers make false accusations against them.

Dr Jessica McCarrick, a Senior Lecturer in Counselling Psychology at Teesside University, who carried out a study with male abuse victims, said they were often treated with suspicion by the criminal justice system.

She said their experiences were not only dismissed by some police officers, but they could even find themselves under arrest when their partners turned the tables on them.

Dr McCarrick said: “Men find it incredibly difficult to talk about their experiences of domestic violence because of the shame and emasculation they feel is associated with it.

“To find the courage to speak out, only to be accused of violence themselves, is incredibly disheartening and ultimately prevents countless men from reporting intimate partner violence.”

Abuse charities also claim they are finding an increasing number of male victims coming to them to seek advice after becoming the subject false accusations.

Mark Brooks, chairman of the Mankind Initiative charity, which takes calls from around 1,000 men per year, said: “Over the past ten years we have seen a steady increase in the number of callers to our helpline stating they have been the victims of false allegations.

“The type of thing we hear is ‘my wife or girlfriend has said if I leave, or tell anyone, she will say I was the one attacking her and she was just defending herself.”

“It is an extremely powerful weapon in the armoury of the perpetrator and leaves the victim feeling trapped and helpless.”

Police forces insist they are making great strides in tackling the problem with the number of women convicted of domestic abuse quadrupling in the last decade from 806 in 2004/05 to 3,735 in 2013/14.

But the problem remains still largely hidden and campaigners insisting much more needs to be done to encourage victims to come forward and have the confidence to report an offence.

One male victim who took part in the study, but did not want to be named described how he had been arrested on three separate occasions following false allegations by his wife.

He said: “In the latest incident I made the initial complaint to police as my wife assaulted me. But when they arrived, they showed little concern and instead arrested me because my wife made a counter allegation.

“I certainly feel that more compassion and empathy needs to be shown towards male victims of domestic violence.”

Dr McCarrick, said his account was not uncommon adding: “Within my research, the predominant experience is of men being arrested under false charges and their disclosures of being the victim are not taken seriously, despite having evidence.”

She said domestic abuse must be viewed as a human issue rather than a gender issue with more services and support available to enable men to seek help and support.

She added: “Campaigners and researchers made waves in the 1970’s, which had a positive impact and improved service provision for women – it is time to do the same for men.”

“Promoting awareness of the plight of male survivors may encourage men to report abuse and feel assured that they will be taken seriously.

“Intimate partner violence is an issue which affects men and women within both heterosexual and homosexual relationships and I would like to see increased funding to improve service provision and development in order to support all people affected by this issue.”

Rather than self-defense, the most usual motivations for violence by women, like the motivations of men, are coercion, anger, and punishing misbehavior by their partner (Cascardi & Vivian, 1995; Fiebert & Gonzalez, 1997; Kernsmith, 2005). For example, Pearson (1997) reports that 90% of the women she studied assaulted their partner because they were furious, jealous, or frustrated and not because they tried to defend themselves. These motives are parallel to the motivations of men perpetrators.

- Tony didn't offer a compromise in CW as some people think

- If Tony and Steve were in a relationship, it would be abusive with Tony as the abuser

Snape’s Gang — Dark Side. a small edit i made when i was bored :) not completely finished

lmao this ended up being so wrong

I’m so fucking pissed about how Kwite was treated with his allegation vs how Dr**m is still allowed to have a platform even after all the horrible shit about him has come out.

Like, Dr**m is allowed to still go onto YouTube and still has tons of fans even though the shit he did has been corroborated by multiple people, while Kwite got his reputation destroyed because some idiot decided to ~do a little trolling~ and drag his name through the damn mud and everyone immediately jumped to the worst assumption. Holy double standards, Batman, this is all just so shitty.

And I’m willing to say that part of it is probably because Dr**m is white while Kwite isn’t

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 ✌️
