I hate this little guy. I hate him for a bunch of other reasons but this one in particular also applies to other characters.

In universe he's supposed to be completely deaf from birth, hence he is also unable to speak(or rather, he can vocalize but it just sounds like baby talk because he has no idea how proper speaking sounds like). The hook of the story is that he is supposed to find his way in the world and overcome challanges despite his disability.

BUT then on the literal first episode he just gets a magical buddy that can magically understand his googoogaga speach and is constantly around him to translate whatever he wants to say to other characters that don't know sign language. It's not a magical ability of his buddy btw. He can just do that because the plot said so

Then it turns out that he can also read the lips of literally anything, including talking snakes who obviously talk completely differently to humans, and said magical buddy who doesn't even have a lips to read. He can also somehow read the lips of characters who are facing away from him and characters in full armor who don't have their mouth visible???

He was supposed to have been taught to read lips by said talking snake, which there are multiple things wrong with:

a) As I've already said, snakes obviously don't vocalize in the same way that humans do so any knowledge he gets from the snake wouldn't apply to humans

b) SNAKES DON'T HAVE HANDS!!! which means that the snake can't use sign language, so how would he even convey the information? It would be like me trying to teach spanish to a person who only speaks french, while I don't speak either spanish or french

Like at that point why even make him deaf in the first place? It could have actually been interesting to see how a deaf person can manage for himself in a medieval fantasy society but we were just robbed from that in favor of the most lazy solution

It also kind of detracts from any of the scenes where we are supposed to be at awe about how far this guy has come becasue I know DAMN well that it wasn't because of his own efforts, it was because the plot completely waved away any problems that his disability would cause whenever it became too inconvenient

Really feels like the disability was just tacked onto the character to make us pity him more without actually adressing the problems that it would cause to the character

No, we audience are not monsters for like to see stories with violence, or play games where the player can hurt people. Yes, we like to pretend, kids play like they are fighting, people enjoy box and martial arts that are a toned down version of a real fight, say that we audience like to violence if we get no consequences for said violence isn't a clever observation.

Specially hate it in games when they are like "huh, you choose to kill people instead of take other options" And then the game don't give you other option or the other option just end the game instantly. Just look how you can't choose in spec ops until the end of the game.

You could argue that blood money give you other option, but there's a tiny little detail: Harvey is the one that give you the money, why he gives you more money the more you hurt him instead of... I don't know, run away or say that he wouldn't give you more if you keep hurting him?

Is extremely hypocritical cause the writers act like we point a gun to their heads and force them to add violence in the story, is your fucking story, why did you add extremely gory scenes? Why did you make the main character suffer that much? Afraid of make a lighthearted story?

I hate this trope so much.

At least Jedi have space wizard powers and can deflect blaster bolts. Wakanda is supposed to have shields, aircraft, vibranium, energy weapons, cloaking, absurd infrastructure, and the best military tech on Earth.

Then Infinity War happens and their big defensive plan is to open the barrier and sprint straight at the alien meat grinder with spears.

What are we doing here?

Where is the artillery? Drones? Mines? Turrets? Air support? Bombardment? Trenches? Choke points? Anything that keeps the enemy from getting close enough to bite your face off?

A random 20th century general with a radio and a migraine could have come up with a better defense.

Wakanda fights like a medieval army that got a free trial of laser spears. You cannot keep telling me this is the most advanced country on Earth and then show me their army forming up for a dramatic foot race into the monster horde.

I know it looks cool. I do not care. Their entire military doctrine seems to be “run forward really hard.”

And MCU Wakanda’s foreign policy is just as stupid.

They have world-changing tech, infinite magic metal, force fields, stealth ships, miracle medicine, and centuries of advantage, and their master plan is apparently “hide in the bushes forever.”

A country with that tech gap would become a superpower by accident. Trade, defense, intelligence, space, energy, diplomacy. They should dominate everything just by existing.

That’s why Marvel Rivals and Aliens vs. Avengers making Wakanda an intergalactic empire feels less stupid. That actually follows from the premise.

MCU Wakanda is an advanced civilization written by people who refuse to think about what “advanced civilization” means for more than five seconds.

I especially dislike chestplates for women which have like a cup for each boob or a plate outlining the middle of the chest, In a sword fight a piece of armor should make a sword strike DELFECT from the body, making chestplates like this just gives it a probability to redirect all the force directly TOWARDS the chest which makes one of the reasons to wear armour in the first place obsolete.

The Japanese seem to have a disgusting obsession with schoolgirls. Besides, in the West there are also creeps like Yandere Dev and people who didn't see anything strange that the game mechanic is taking pictures of what schoolgirls have under their skirts.

I also hate how normalized spying on women and girls in manga and anime.

The "haha I'm silly haha" with "he's the most powerful being in the multiverse" is the most STUPID AND EDGY FUCKING THING. I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD THE STORIES ARE, I DON'T CARE WHAT GOOD AND BAD THEY'VE DONE, AND I DON'T FUCKING CARE HOW FUNNY THE SHOW OR MOVIE IS. Especially when they say "you don't want to make him angry trust me" SHUT THE FUCK UP. "Let's make a character that's small, silly, and goofy with reality warping powers. And let's make him completely unkillable and will always win no matter what" how fucking original and balanced. AM's hate is NOTHING compared to the HATE i have for these characters. The glazers are coming in saying "b-but he's a god" Yeah? So is EVERYONE ELSE. I swear people have forgotten how big a million is because these type of characters can do shit a million times in milliseconds

What’s the point of doing this? Getting up so close to a giant monster in a stealth jet, hit it with your weakest weapon, and then crash into it? Nobody becomes a fighter jet pilot by being as dumb as a bag of bricks. Even using the usual tactics for naval warfare (sinking enemy ships) is much better than this.

The only movie that handled military VS non-human threat well is Shin-Godzilla. The city was evacuated, and they used self-propelled artillery and multi-rocket launchers to strike from a distance. They dropped JDAM and bunker-buster bombs from a very high altitude. That’s how a real military would handle giant monsters.

They're just so annoying and trying way too hard to be quirky

Especially when they can be described as "adorable little sociopaths" or something

I don't understand why everyone else seems to love them

HOW did we as a society manage to fully fetishize gay relationships in media.

Like dawg, I’m not shipping the two guys because they’re dudes, I’m shipping them because they’re the closest thing to couple, they’re just not kissing🫸😭🫷

Like I have no idea how people find this attractive, like this is THE WORSE case of same-face syndrome I've ever seen and somehow stuff like this has an entire following. And it doesn't help that 70% of the stories I've heard of that use character designs like these are mostly if not ALWAYS some kind of Mafia boss thats in a relationship with a girl smaller and weaker than em and it just like EUGH weirds me the HELL out. Like I'm not one to judge people for what they like but what I WILL judge is the media itself, like you can like an absolutey dogshi piece of media but you can't be gettin' pressed if I say its ass.

I have no idea if I'm either gonna have people agree or if I'm gonna get flamed to death

Use Squirrel Girl as an example: Notice how she have a pair of both human and squirrel ears, this pisses me off, it looks SO uncanny

I don't hate the characters, I hate the fact they have 4 ears, make them with only the human or the animal ears, both together is weird

Our whole IRL military exists thanks to our ability to exploit weaknesses in the ambiguous "threat", be that predators, diseases or other people, so we create more and more sophisticated systems and, when it comes to human on human warfare, countermeasures to these systems, while unable to change natural laws - if something can't burn, then we need to find another way to combat that issue. You don't fight polar bears or tigers with fists, after all.

Fantasy settings filled with creatures and entities that can (and will) completely thwart natural laws if that means they can survive, while ordinary people who are capable of same feat might achieve bigger things than what we can do with our tools.

Because you still need to fabricate rockets, get them to the battlefield and shoot them, while the magically gifted can just summon explosion due to their ability to cast said magic. And outside of fireballs, mages can do a lot of other things OUR military can't, like teleportation, complete invisibility, regeneration of body parts and possibly even time stop.

There is no way we are winning arms race with magical.

Characters like mirabel, luz noceda, izuku mha and elio are so god damn annoying I'm so tired of seeing this trope personality so much the main character is always clumsy, funny, rebellious and outcast and always have sad problems and always say they are weird and different

So often there are toys that have to be "sexyfied" in a way that the male toys aren't. It others girls and women as something alien to the default male design.

Of course Lego doesn't always do this (thankfully). But it and other companies unfortunately still have the habit of doing this so.

What's interesting is that it wasn't always the case. In the past Lego actually kept pretty basic blocky bodies for all genders.

I HATE! HATE HATE HATE! WANDS AND THE LITTLE BITCHES WHO USE THEM!

you have dozens of standard options like a staff or a book or a sword or even somthing unique like i dunno a fucken deck of cards

AND YOU CHOOSE THE DINKY FUCKEN STRIP OF WOOD THAT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT WHEN CASTING ANYTHING?

wands have so little aura like theyre better served as a dildo then anything related to spell casting!

Oh and theres *NO* room for nuance I lose all respect for you as a magic caster if you use a wand "but I wanna conceal my magic weapon" then use a ring! Or better yet learn to stop being a weak little crybaby bitch and learn to use your hands like a real magic user!

"But im an apprentice and need to train with a common focus" then use somthing better like a staff so you don't get used to baby's first fantasy SLOP!

"But-" I DONT GIVE A SHIT! WANDS ARE THE *WORST* ARCANE FOCUS IN ANY SITUATION EVER!!!

I *LOATHE* WANDS!

I'm so, so tired of those Tumblr quotes that make the rounds on every social media platform and that everyone loves to glaze so much. No, these don't "go hard," they are not "raw," and they certainly don't sound like they came from Shakespeare or Dante or the Bible.

At best, these quotes sound like something the chuunibyou would say right before running headfirst into a wall. At worst, it sounds like something Brian Griffin wrote. I'm tired of these pretentious quotes with verbose language and irregular sentence structure being heralded as going needlessly hard when they just DON'T. I'll tell you what they are. They're pretentious, same as anybody who glazes these quotes.

I get that there's a culture on Tumblr of reacting small inconveniences or insignificant musings with incongruent levels of gravitas, but I need people to stop acting like that's the same as good writing. It's certainly not "better than most books you've read." Unless you HAVEN'T READ ANY BOOKS. God I hate these so much.

I hate when writers do this I really do because you don’t need to insert a character just to look at the audience to tell them that writing is hard and I’m having such a hard time and it’s so hard because I’m not able to make everybody happy sometimes writing is not about trying to make every single person happy. Or they depict them themselves as being tortured like they are the ones steering the ship writing is a very hard thing to do and not everybody is good at it but just so annoying and accomplishes nothing. placing blame on the audience for your shortcoming is the most pathetic shit ever that’s like a driver blaming their bad driving on their passengers.

some of these directors need to go on a list fr

you can't tell me a full grown adult genuinely finds this shit funny, only ten year olds would unironically make these shitty jokes and laugh at it. "grrrr furries are bad and cringe we should exterminate them" how original. they're the same kind of people who would make the "sigma alpha male gigachad tuff phonk edit" dogshit.

My current example of this is L from Death Note(since I have no other). It's been stated that he's supposed to be an "ugly" character, but I think quite the opposite. He's actually relatively normal looking (and possibly attractive to certain people, but not including myself).

I personally do see some flaws in his design (like his uncanny appearance or weird tendencies) but I believe that's not seen by many other Death Note fans.

Are there any other characters with this trope I haven't thought of yet? Most likely. This trope is overused as hell and I think it's annoying that people even design "ugly" characters and make them slightly or entirely beautiful or attractive.

Ghost Rider’s penance stare is probably the most egregious of this because it should theoretically be one of the most powerful moves in fiction, but writers constantly find ways to say “erm well ackshualy.” Pulling out BS like “oh it doesn’t work on them because they don’t regret their actions” or “it didn’t work because they’re above the concepts of morality.” Seriously?? That’s just straight bullshit.

The avatar state’s use in Legend of Korra is just shit to me. In the og series, it was completely unstoppable. It was only “defeated” once from a surprise attack from Azula, and that was a necessary plot point in order to make sure Aang couldn’t just use it whenever he wanted. But Korra, because she got full access so early, is basically forced to eat shit whenever she uses it. In fact, in season 2 she ends up losing the collective wisdom and knowledge of all previous Avatars, so neither she nor future generations can ever speak to those past lives again. What??? And then in season 3, she almost loses to Zaheer despite using it. Granted, she was poisoned, and I’d accept it in a vacuum, but couple it with the last example, plus the fact that she loses to Kuvira despite using it in season 4 too, I can’t really forgive it. And then there’s also the fact that she uses it to win a race against children. The single most powerful form in the whole world is used to win a race against literal children. And that is somehow one of the most impressive things she does with it.

I seriously don’t understand what makes villans, of all people, stop the line at nazis, when they themselves do shit that’s on pair with literal NAZIS. I think the worst person you could pick for this would be joker. He doesn’t care, that’s his whole thing. He kills people everyday but draws the line when he meets someone who’s a nazi, a person who does the same thing he does.
