Don’t Even Get Me Started - Blog Posts

i know its been 5 plus years and enough people have talked about this enough but i cannot physically refrain from clawing my eyes out every time i come across this panel. Truly one of the most ridiculous things tom king has ever written (and the list is huge). Like why is this character who is almost in his thirties comparing himself to his brothers who are atleast 5 to 12 years younger than him? Of all the things he could have an identity crisis about they actually made him lose his mind over what type of robin am I? Not parents dying in front of a whole ass audience or withstanding the demands of being the perfect soldier in batman's crusade or having to put up with the pressure of being a leader other heroes look up to or his friends and family dying all the time, and man i could go on and on. I assure you he is not losing any sleep over where he stands with a bunch of people he cares for very deeply and ultimately thinks of as kids.

how it feels to see a post containing a vaguely factually inaccurate sentiment about a subject on which you are disgustingly overinformed

THIS BRO IM SO TIRED OF SEEING SQUID GAMES FANS W/ZERO MEDIA LITERACY BASH ON THE SHOW LIKE OH MY GOD

Something some people don't understand is that Squid Game is an ALLEGORY

Yes, many characters are very dictated (/doomed) by the narrative, beholden to their convictions, BECAUSE IT’S AN ALLEGORY.

Yeah, some things don't seem 100% realistic (although it's a fantastically well thought out world and story), BECAUSE IT’S AN ALLEGORY.

This story, these characters, THIS ENTIRE WORLD was meticulously staged TO SEND US A MESSAGE.

It's about capitalism. It's about classism. It's about the evil of hoarded wealth. It's about the dehumanization and infantilization of disadvantaged groups by privileged ones. It's about choice and autonomy, and how neither of those mean much - and yet, mean EVERYTHING - when all you have are bad choices. When all you've BEEN GIVEN are bad choices.

It's about the violence of poverty. About what people become when they have no other choice. About what people become when they don't have even the basics of life provided for them, the selfish beasts we must become to survive when those situations are imposed - and about how, then, we're blamed for it.

It's about the way we're pitted against one another while those in power sit back and watch. It's about the violence of consumption - specifically media consumption.

Of course In-ho is a little evil; HE EXISTS TO SHOW US WHAT HAPPENS TO NORMAL PEOPLE WHEN YOU FORCE THEM INTO THOSE CHOICES.

Of course Gi-hun trusts too easily, accepts Young-il as a friend despite that damning number on his chest; HE EXISTS TO SHOW US THERE’S ANOTHER WAY.

Because I’m in a complaining mood, whenever I look up anything on Pinterest nowadays, I get ads after ads. What was that…oh of course. More ads.

Please Pinterest. Why are there ads after every 2 pins? Do you need me to pay a subscription to you every month? Because I just might.

Let me tell u the difference between Max Verstappen, a WDC, and an alleged championship worthy driver.

Max Verstappen will tell you what he say or want to say in front of u, in the car, through the radio, behind u. A certain championship worthy driver says things at the radio, on the media, and then, once everyone is on it, sweep it under the rug, make it seem like it didn’t happen, or if it did, then it’s out of his hands, that it wasn’t what he meant.

Max disregards team orders when he deems them to be wrong and any result he gets from it is his alone. A certain someone disregards team orders, when he does well, it’s because he had every right to act for himself, when he mess up, it’s the team’s fault. When he follows team orders, and got good results, fine; when he follows and he doesn’t get what he wants, he’s this poor, wronged, loyal driver. God forbid if his teammate does it, he was apparently being favored!

Max is a teammate killer. He outshines them so much to the point that they don’t last on the team, some even going to other motosports. A certain someone is an alleged dominant teammate, so dominant he prevailed against stronger teammates, he’s unbeatable, he’s the future, he’s perfect. And yet, one race of getting outshone, and he’s crying, he’s tattling, he’s a victim.

Max is the devil, he’s dangerous, he pulls of moves that endangers others. Well, better than the beatific saint who can do no wrong, right? The one who lets out disparaging remarks and once the hate piles on, wash his hands off of it.

Lastly, Max is a WDC who built the team he’s in. The certain someone was being built by his team who only ever lives off of their team legacy, off the accolades, off the achievements long gone. A team who derives its confidence from all the WDC’s they hire only to give them with nothing afterwards. WDC’s long past their primes, beaten by their golden boy in points, and suddenly they’re worthless, suddenly they don’t live up to the team’s standards. And their golden boy? He’s good, fantastic, marvelous, a WDC in a making. 😌

Think what u want of the other’s identity, but never ever disparage any other driver as unworthy especially if your standards is a certain someone.
