All things aside, it takes guts to approach Ashton Irwin, how the fuck do you work yourself up to approach SHIRTLESS Ashton Irwin?? I would forget how to breathe let alone how to talk and how to hold a camera steady enough to get a picture.
so apperently cole can to some extent safely handle being struck by lightening and even hold it in place as part of being the elemental master of earth in the comics??
No offense but when are these takes trying to provide some “defense” for bullying because the objects of the bullying were “too weird” going to stop. Like people don’t usually develop these kinds of “strange” or anti-social behaviors in a vacuum anyways. I knew a girl in middle school who did the growling thing and she had been bullied since the 3rd grade, long before she got into anime. She did the growling thing because kids would physically harass her and teachers wouldn’t do anything about it, but they stopped when she started doing that. She told me it was easier to stomach getting made fun of for doing “weird” things/having “weird” interests than it was to have inherit facts about herself mocked.
Like I know some Anime Kids in school were invariably dicks but you still can’t ultimately use odd or “cringy” behavior to justify the cruel choices of other people to mock and torment others. So many of these kids have tons of trauma from being mocked just for having a particular interest or sense of style. Was a kid wearing a raccoon tail to school because they thought it was fun and cute really worth mocking them to the point of self-hatred? If kids were getting bullied to the point of tears in this year because they liked to do Fornite Dances in the lunchroom would you think it’s funny and that the kids deserve bullying for being weird?
And this shit was also just like an excuse to even more safely pick on people who were already on the ‘to-bully’ list. Think about how many people from this group were fat or not white or gay or neurodivergent and how that played into how they were ostracized in the first place. A lot of these kids would’ve gotten bullied even if they weren’t into anime/doing These Particular Weird Things because that’s what bullies do. That’s what bullies were doing before they “got into weird stuff” and it’s what they would’ve continued doing. Stop trying to make it a funny joke that people decided to traumatize their classmates because their classmates tried to commit the crime of having “abnormal” fun or having “abnormal” ways of dealing with harassment.
“y’all got bullied for this otherreason”
great, you still shouldn’t have bullied these kids. the magical mystical reason behind it doesn’t change the fact there was bullying.
also making peculiar noises, movements or over-imitating special niche interest behaviors are all characteristics that could be symptoms of neurodiversity.
“we didn’t bully jack for his weird interest, just because we’re ableist” is a more accurate picture, at this point.
It’s almost as if all “reasons” people cite for bullying are just excuses for: “We just wanted to be jerks and feel superior by hurting someone.”
Sometimes on my shifts we go get food and everyone chips in. Well the shift after us took photos of our food (despite us sharing with them) and complained to the boss.
Very proud of my drawing skills right now actually, I can’t believe my artstyle wasn’t like this last year, heck even a few months back! I’m learning and exploring and it’s fun! Anyways just hella proud of myself today, hope y'all are doing well on your own artistic journey and all the love and support to y'all as well ✨
I stopped reading DNIs because 90% of the time they were just fucking inscrutable to me. I’d go to somebody’s page and it would be like “DNI if you’re a COSLA apologist,” so then I would Google COSLA and it was just like “Welp, either things are really heating up in the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities fandom or I still have no idea what the fuck this person is talking about.” Or “DNI if you identify as ANFO.” Okay, well, I definitely don’t identify as Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil, but that’s probably not what you meant (although hey, maybe you did; I obviously don’t know enough about your views on chemical compounds to outright dispute that option).” Like, you have my blessing to hate whatever obscure fandom pairing or super niche kink group you want, but just know I am embracing ignorance on this one and will not be looking that shit up. Peace.
