What I mean when I say I like a villain:

  • I like their story
  • I like their motivations
  • I like their skills/powers
  • I like their intelligence
  • I like their quotes
  • I find them interesting
  • I like their relationship with other character(s)

What I definitely don’t mean when I say I like a villain:

  • “They’re just misunderstood”
  • I’m defending every single one of their actions and I think they’re 100% innocent
  • I’m a dumbass who doesn’t know that they’re a villain

aphobe-nonsense:

discourse posts making fun of ace kids for saying some cringey stuff are honestly so gross. like, when i first realized i was asexual, i was all about those silly memes about how i would rather eat cake than have sex. up until that point, society had made it very clear that sex was the best thing that could ever happen and that i should be always concerning myself with how to have it. which, of course, wasn’t something that i wanted.  

and then for the first time, people were telling me that, no, i didn’t have to make sex my top priority. i could make mac n cheese and shitty horror movies and cake my top priority. and that was a Big Deal to lil asexual me. yeah, some of the stuff i said was pretty iffy and maybe even a little problematic, but damn! i was just a teenager expressing their newfound identity and trying to be proud of something that all of mainstream media was telling me i should never, ever be proud of. 

so, you know, maybe cut those kids who are always going on about how cool it is to be ace little bit of slack?
