I think the tide pod think was created by someone older than millennials and gen z, just to make gen z look bad
Yes we are. And you know why? Because us KIDS know when to grow up and get serious.
Because us KIDS are starting rallies, writing to are representatives, calling politicians out on their BS.
Because us KIDS are making sure our voices are heard, despite not being old enough to vote.
Because us KIDS are standing united and are willing to have actually conversations, not only about gun control, about other stuff like abortion, LGBT+ rights, racial equality, gender equality, healthcare, education reform, global warming, etc.
Because us KIDS aren’t stubborn adults who are stuck in their ways. We are willing to change, we are willing to help, we are willing to listen.
So yes. We were the kids eating tide pods a month ago, but unlike you adults, we know when it’s time to grow the fuck up and actually do something.
We “kids” are actually standing up to do something because you adults have failed us.

Well... I think I see myself in Gou a lot? I watched every episode at once (lol) and he grew a lot, from "we shouldn't help a bulbasaur" to helping Cubone to apologizing to an egg. I still couldn't understand the concept of "low empathy" but being able to understand he was wrong and changing, try to understand others couldn't bee seen as learning empathy?
Was looking around the tv tropes page for Journeys and it's kinda sad how biased against Gou it reads. The kid makes a mistake one that the anime clearly sees it as a mistake and something he has to work on but for some he is a monster that abuses his pokemon
I just skimmed it, and…wow.
It’s not as bad as I was expecting, but it definitely has shades of demonizing him for struggling with empathy.
Let me make this clear: HAVING LOW EMPATHY DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A BAD PERSON.
Empathy is not the same thing as compassion.
Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy.
Empathy is the ability to put yourselves in others’ shoes and understand the viewpoints/emotions.
God, can’t they just admit they hate neurodivergent people and go?
It’s the 4th day of MerMay so here’s MerRey!!!
I'm sorry America. We in Italy are trying our best, but for 2nd phase there is a shortage of tampons, and this is concerning.
Celebrities are saying things like, “young or poor, black or white, rich or not, we all have to play our part” from their luxurious Beverly Hills homes. The irony. Most people with symptoms aren’t even able to get tested but these big names with big money are despite being asymptotic. That is all you need to know about America.

Okay, now that I'm calmer. I could explain it better (maybe)
When I first discovered Vocaloid, I was very young, and with me being aspie, maybe I was even more naive than the average boy.
And that led me to see something that a boy or girl my age shouldn't have never see
Someone in my fandom was 10, but faked their age just to fit in.
The fandom years ago wasn't nice at all, and with we being really young, we made weird asks and we got treated harshily
I don't want to talk about the fandom anymore, but I want to give you advice for the next video/fanart/song next:
Please, use trigger warnings. "Triggered" is not a meme, you could got triggered by something that scares you. If a video uses too many flashy lights, put a disclaimer in the beginning. If a song talks about something bad, put a warning in the beginning. If a song talks about something bad but it's implied/open to interpretations, put a warning in the beginning and explain the real meaning in the beginning
Not only most of the songs were in Japanese/English (not everyone's native language) but we couldn't be able to understand if there was something dirty, we were too young.
Explain that Sh/ta e L/li doesn't mean "cute boy" and "cute girl", before young fans could look for pictures and got traumatized.
Explain that Y/ndere could be really scary and not "just a parody pf a clingy girl/boy" like I thought. Some y/ndere songs were really scary.
Explain them the risks of roleplaying online, that not everyone is a kid/teen and could have malicious intents
And tell them if they made bad experiences that it's not their fault, and be there to help them.
Not every fan is American, and European fans don't experience racism based on skin color, but on stereotypes. Some European kids would get confused if you draw your favorite vocaloid with darker skin. If they ask you about it, they didn't make it to sound racist. It's just something different between cultures
Don't bully them because of unpopular ships, but tell them if is something illegal.
Some of Rin Len fans just saw them as robots/mirror images or something like Kokoro/Kiseki. Some of the Rin Len fans were so young they didn't knew about tw//cest. Maybe they used it inappropriately without knowing the real meaning and then got exposed to something they never wanted to see(Some of us used inappropriately both English and Japanese words, like Arigatou instead of Ohayou,but we were learning, could you blame a young kid?)
And last, comparing Piko to Boku etc. was never funny at all. We were minors. And I don't think an adult would find this funny as well.
Please, if you spot something young/immature in the fandom from now on, help them. They didn't know a lot of things. Don' t discriminate a fan because "has unpopular opinions" or "too annoying" or made "stupid asks". Could be a literal kid,or somewhere in the autistic spectrum. And don't use twitter to talk about them. If they are on tumblr, reply directly to them on tumblr. Even if you have to ask: Why did you tag my drawing as a ship?I never meant that. Don't write on other social media "Uugh op wrote this as a ship it's so stupid lol" because it's rude.
I personally was never able to write fanfictions, and the most thing I did with my characters was... Holding hands??
TL,DR don't be like the fandom was almost 10 years ago. Put trigger warnings, explain the real meaning of some terms, and be more patient.
