Remember they said that bullies only picked on people who legit were weird and if people minded their business they wouldn’t have been picked on ? That’s when I knew the gaslighting was at an all-time high
Bullying is such an interesting subject on here. Everybody knows it’s serious in real life, yet this app downplays it constantly. Remember when people said Tracy Morgan was wrong for not helping his former bully? Somehow the victim ends up owing the bully grace 😂😭

Correct. Prison isn't a rehabilitation program. Its primary function is to protect the public (punishment is an incidental consequence of confinement, imo), not reform those who pose a danger to it.
“jail doesn’t rehabilitate kids” neither does being a menace on the streets womp womp

Please argue with yall selves on this. He should be bringing home at least DOUBLE that a week. They’re robbing his ass blind. This is really great money but still not what he is owed

Mamdani says he was in touch with Trump, Torres said he was in touch with the state department. What are you mad about fam? Just need to be a contrarian or what? Javits’ mom gets to bury her son in person, isn’t that what we want.

I’m hard on parents because I don’t believe in accidentally becoming a parent that’s not a real thing. You choose to become a parent so stop sucking at it. Those kids didn’t ask you to have them and they don’t deserve to be failed by you. Loser.

As a school leader–a child demonstrating unprovoked violence is a turning point in that child’s tenure at the school. Either the parent gets on board with immediate wraparound services or I take steps to remove the child from campus.

You can tell it's already over at a young age
I’ve never been particularly sympathetic toward children once they exhibit deeply disordered and destructive behavior. I can empathize with the circumstances that shaped them, but once that behavior is actualized, I have little interest in or expectation of rehabilitation. High risk, low reward. The greater good of many will always supersede that of one.

the normalization of people using fandom/fanfiction for monetization either through kofi/patreon or by making their goal as a creator to write a fic that gets popular enough to publish traditionally with name swaps has truly done irreparable harm to the fandom ecosystem
we are MAYBE one (01) round of fandom discourse away from people claiming it's fundamentally unethical to read fanfiction without tipping the authors on cashapp. maybe

sabe o que é mais engraçado? o ao3 foi literalmente o responsável em dar segurança jurídica para os escritores de fanfic! lá no inicio dos nos 2000 a anne rice vivia processando quem fazia fanfic de iwtv e a fanfiction..net imediatamente deletava e haviam categorias de fandoms q eram banidas para evitar essa confusão com autores chatos. existe literalmente todo um braço jurídico pra manter A SUA FANFIC NO AR que trabalha sem fins lucrativos e vive de doações para manutenção. quer ter domínio sobre sua obra de personagens que sequer te pertencem? crie seu próprio repositório e responda seus b.o s

Thats the consequences of : 1) normies getting into fan activities and thinking everything has to cater to their needs 2) ppl who migrated from Wattpad, thinking the A of AO3 stands for attention seeker 3) ppl writing for kudos and not bc they genuinely like writing
I feel like some AO3 writers would be happier if they just...wrote original stories and posted them on Patreon or self-published on Amazon. This gatekeeping, engagenebt obsessed mindset has no place in fandom spaces.

It's best to block any account mocking the death of Javits Frimpong & any account blaming Black Americans or Black American culture for his death. People have stooped to levels i didn't think was possible. Hit rock bottom & started digging.

being so obsessed with validation and credit and imaginary numbers that you want to report people for genuinely enjoying and wanting to read your work is the insane thing here

new gen fandom is full of cops im crying
For anyone asking how to report a Google Drive link containing fanworks shared without the authors' consent: open the file, click the three dots, select **Report abuse**, and follow the instructions. Authors have the right to protect their work. Don't just complain, report it.

i’ve said this so many times before but this fanfic discourse is an incredible way to distinguish who only began engaging with fandom post 2020

Fandom spaces have been infiltrated by people who want to be popular/ treated like influencers for their contributions as opposed to just people excited to be surrounded by other people who like the same thing they like and want to show them the cool shit they wrote.
I feel like some of yall are losing the plot… THE HISTORY OF FANFICTION IS PASSING STORIES BETWEEN FANS THE STAR TREK FANDOM, FOUNDERS OF FANFICTION, WOULD TYPE FICS ON THEIR LITTLE TYPEWRITERS, PHOTOCOPY THEM, AND PASS THEM AROUND AT CONS

If you know you know, but the black gangs in New York need to do something about the Trinitarios. They keep on killing civilians.

I knew a guy in high school that went by squid. He actually secured just "squid" on Xbox live. We called him squid. His girlfriend called him squid. His parents, all his teachers, the fucking principle knew to call him squid
