THEY’RE ROASTING HIM
The little thing was just minding it’s own business when all of a sudden a bunch of nerds come down in their giant eye glowing metal fish just so they could laugh at it. RUDE AF.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
To wit:
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.
In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.
“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.
Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
THIS IS IT. THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.
WINNER TAKES ALL. THIS IS THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY.
SUMMONING THE ENTIRETY OF THE ATLA AND UTENA FANDOMS.
these polls are like "an animated cartoon that's survived mostly from nostalgia and adults whose only other show they've watched is spongebob. it's politics are also very safe, yes even for 2005 and people call it gay media just because it has one niche mlm ship"
vs "an anime that was incredibly revolutionary for its time for portraying multiple queer characters, none of which have tragic endings and survive censorship. it's also a takedown of the patriarchal system we still live in and exploring how that system functions. its rich with symbolism and requires metatextual analysis to understand which has created endless discussion because there's so many different reads on it. it has also inspired so many queer creators today, such as Rebecca Sugar, Nate Stevenson, Dana Terrace and Natasha Allegri just to name a few. its constantly referenced in media, both as fanservice and within the core text."
and the cartoon that's still surviving off nostalgia and people apparently not watching any other shows since then wins.
