BRO WHAT ARE LITERAL 11 YEAR OLDS DOING ON THIS WEBSITE AND ARGUING ABOUT POL O’ TICKS

imagine you’re waiting for a bus or something and a tiny unsupervised child comes up to you like “do you support the death penalty”

Know what I want more of in my fiction? “Nice Guy” villains. “Incel” villains. Villains who exhibit the most toxic aspects of current masculinity and culture and are shamed for it.

Like Tighten from Megamind.

I know it’s years old but this movie is still the best, especially because of the characterization of their villain. He receives a dozen soft no’s from Roxanne (the Lois Lane archetype), it’s suggested he’s been getting them for years, and he still pursues her even to the point of endangering her life. When he finally understands that her “no” is final, he throws a superpowered shit fit and tries to kill her and her actual love interest (Megamind) and televises it in a ploy to get sympathy (”a reminder of the night she ferociously ripped out my heart”). He has no concept of boundaries or consent, and it is shown for the vile behavior that it is.

And the thing is? I can’t remember another villain like him? Not anywhere. You could make an argument that Snape is a Nice Guy, but the narrative doesn’t criticize the behavior. To the contrary, his eternal ~~love~~ obsession with Lily is praised. Every character who comes even close to Tighten, ends up praised by the end. And I’m sick of it.

Get on Megamind’s level, screenwriters.

This is a good post, but I can’t get over how they kept spelling his name like that.

Jemel Roberson, a real life hero, was murdered by police. For being black.

What command did he refuse? Why was deadly force needed? Why are police acting without any training?

Fucking remember his name. He’s the literal good guy with a gun you conservatives keep talking about and he was gunned down.

Are we going to let this continue or unite and protect our people?

no offense but i need everyone to stop saying that “we survived” bad presidents before. like, i get it, the country has weathered people like andrew jackson and ronald reagan and will probably weather trump. but when you say “we survived” andrew jackson? tell that to the 4000 (of 16000) cherokee who died on the trail of tears. “we survived” ronald reagan? tell that to the 650,000 americans who have died of aids– a national health crisis which reagan refused to even recognize?

you know who “survived” presidents like trump? people who never had to be afraid of them in the first place.

or those who got lucky, but still had to constantly bury their friends and family

There’s also the people whose lives have been ruined because of the “war on drugs”. Also the fact that pseudo science, trickle down economics, made in the Reagan era is still reported as true/valid yet the person who thought of it has came out and said it’s bullshit.
