Look at this point if something in a TV show feels off, my first, immediate response is, “who in the corporate office fucked them over?”
Wonky writing? Something feels rushed? Animation errors? First question should be, “Who was fucking over the production team? What were the censorship notes? Was this what the team actually wanted to do, or were they strong-armed?”
I think a lot of y'all are way too fast to blame the writers and animators for issues that wouldn’t exist if the studio executives and the censors weren’t fucking it up for everyone.
Pay the writers. Pay the actors. Pay the animators. And for god’s sake, stop blaming them for industry-wide issues that the unions are actively trying to fight against.
non-it/its users need to get their shit together fr
ok time to elaborate.
earlier today i was talking to someone and i mentioned one of my friends, and said ‘yeah it was saying-’ and before i could finish my sentence she interrupted me and went “it?” as if i’d misspoken. when i said “yeah, it said-” she looked at me as if i’d like insulted her or something and went “why are you calling your friends its? don’t you mean they?”
i pretty much just went “nevermind” because that’s not worth it (and no i’m not misgendering a friend for someone else’s “comfort” like wtf) but the issue is
this. happens. every. time.
you tell someone else you use it/its? they look at you like you’re fucking insane. 99% of the time they will refuse to use your pronouns because it’s “offensive” to them (yknow what else is offensive? purposely misgendering me when i literally just told you my pronouns). when you talk about a friend who uses it/its pronouns, 99% of the time the other person will try to like. correct you or stop you even though they don’t even know who you’re talking about.
“well they/them is gender neutral too so just use th-” no. my pronouns are it/its. they/them is not it/its. they/them is misgendering.
“but it’s gender neutra-” okay and? if dude said he uses he/him and you used they/them that’s misgendering. why is it okay when it’s it pronouns?
“but it’s offensive to refer to people as-” bitch i am literally referring to myself as it/its. i am telling you directly in plain words that these are the pronouns that make me comfortable. i don’t give a fuck what you think of them they are my pronouns
at this point i settle with they/them because i’m just done having people look at me like i said a slur when i tell them what pronouns i’m comfortable with.
i tend to be cautious about bothering cats but I think it’s important to remember that some pretty extreme cat bothering is still within the typical bounds of cat social life
Walk into the apartment and my roommate says “Mike Wazowski only has one eye??” and I say, “WHAT are you talking about, of course he only has one eye. Only having one eye is like his whole fucking thing. Why would you think he has more than one eye” and she flips her phone around and shows me this
ALT
Isn’t that how he looks like
Girl… Google Mike Wazowski right now
please tell me there is a complete image, because you can see the other guy standing next to him and you know what we’re gonna find
Sadly, a quick and half awake google search suggests that whoever made this shop job, they did not complete the joke.
