RR realized shane is autistic bc of fan interpretations, yet ppl deny it, dismiss his ed or say he’s an emotionless jock as if he’s not suppressing his feelings 24/7. they’re so afraid of feminizing him that they reduce him to the most superficial reading of his character

it’s ironic how ppl overcompensate for the idea that shane shouldn’t be treated like a woman by flattening his character the same way female characters often are
like underwritten men r blank canvases for fans to flesh out, but giving women any depth is reaching. (1/2)
😭 oh my goodness. I'm done. This fucking dumbass is my last straw. I'm going to sleep, and I hope the people who contributed the 1K likes manage to learn hockey one day.
as much as I love shane as captain, were you all expecting ilya or bood to give away their captain or alt captain positions to shane on his FIRST year with the centaurs after they rebuilt that team from the ground?

I think Rachel should let Wyatt score a goalie goal in Unrivaled

I've noticed that people who experience oppression (racism, poverty, social marginalisation, harassment, etc.) often seem more capable of recognising genuinely awful traits in fictional villains, particularly when those traits are not immediately obvious to everyone else

Meanwhile, people from more privileged backgrounds sometimes seem more inclined to find justifications for their behaviour, reinterpret their actions or portray them as morally superior to what they actually are.

What I mean is that when you've personally experienced a particular form of discrimination, you might recognise its manifestations in a fictional character before others even consider the possibility
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
You might just say that you genuinely believe this character would think or behave this way,
And suddenly you'll have people questioning where you got that interpretation from. "What? Why would you think that? You're overreacting. That's not what the character is about."

Or whatever,
When you haven't been on the receiving end of certain behaviours, you might not recognise them as readily you know specifically when the villain in question happens to be someone's favourite character

There's this habit of loving a character so much, whether for comfort, personal attachment or simply to avoid cognitive dissonance, that people start portraying them as morally better than they actually are
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
I mean sure, having a fictional character who is a murderer, a classist, a predator, a harasser, an assaulter or even a dictator as your favourite isn't necessarily going to influence your own morality
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
Enjoying a morally reprehensible character doesn't automatically make you a morally reprehensible person.
But then, what happens when someone who has actually been a victim of these very behaviours also has these characters as their favourites
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
Why is it that they are sometimes expected to hide their favourite characters, downplay their attachment or constantly clarify that they condemn their actions, just to avoid being judged by others
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
And worse what happens when they refuse to do so, when they acknowledge that their favourite character is, in fact, classist, abusive, predatory or cruel, without feeling the need to defend them or rewrite their morality
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
some audiences are perfectly comfortable romanticising a villain's actions, making excuses for their behaviour and overlooking their victims, yet become uncomfortable when someone from a marginalised background identifies those same traits without hesitation
markus needs warso to get OUT retweeted
You don't have to morally redeem a character to enjoy them. You don't either have to make them innocent to find them fascinating. And most importantly you don't have to erase or soften their reprehensible traits to justify having them as your favourite

can’t even be like “oh they’re assuming the worst” bc tlg shows us that rr is incapable of writing shane as a character beyond using him as a lens to explore ilya. and she actually does prefer ilya to shane. 😭
Please READ THE FUCKING BOOKS ALREADY!!
Where do people think the discussion about Shane's A and him being 2C with Luca and Dillon came from?
