Games thread!

The whole arc with Ahsoka was just him going all in on repeatedly saying she was guilty of a crime ought to be imprisoned or executed, then when it turned she was not guilty he was all sorry you seemed to be guilty, but this ordeal was probably good for you. No wonder she mike dropped and quit after that. Total prick.

[(Anonymous)]

whoa, you should digitize that and upload it to archive.org or something!!

I figure that at least some of his popularity was the Samuel L. Jackson effect.

[feotakahari]

I’m not really involved in this fandom, but I’ve seen a fair amount of “you hate Mace Windu because you’re racist,” which is never a fun time.

[killnotic]

Oh, SLJ was definitely a huge part of it, I think.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

A fellow reader/self-insert fan!! :D

I don't really have anything to say about the secret itself. I'm just glad I'm not the only one here who likes this kind of stuff.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Hi!!!

Lol yeah. It's nice to see other people who are into the self insert/reader stuff too.

In regards to the secret, I think I'm just getting used to the current trend (at least in my fandoms) that has no particular/specific descriptions of the reader. Also trends that I've noticed (and it may be more fandom or pairing specific) are more M/MC fics popping up and quite a few gender neutral reader ones. I think it's nice to see -- everybody's welcome to the self insert party lol

[(Anonymous)]

Lol I believe you. In the least I believe that your idea probably helped with the That's So Raven idea. All that said, I loved That's So Raven. I still sing numerous bits/lines from it.

Spoiler rant

[(Anonymous)]

Is it really so hard for authors to NOT put spoilers in AO3 tags? Simply tag something like 'blankety blank' spoilers and if there is something major that happened like a character death, maybe NOT spoil that in the tags. And saying something to the effect of 'Sorry you were spoiled in the tags' makes you an ass.

Sorry needed to vent. Because finding this particular spoiler in this author's A03 tags when I hadn't yet seen the movie yet (fuck it, it was No Way Home that was spoiled), left me a bit pissed off.

Does the Neurotypical Person actually exist?

[(Anonymous)]

I came across a post today that made me go, "...wait, what?" It started out by saying that neurotypical people are prevented from touching a hot stove by their brains. Since the brain knows that touching the stove will bring pain, it becomes physically impossible for the neurotypical person to do it. Neurotypicals are capable of performing other unpleasant tasks, however, because their brains reward them with serotonin upon completion of the task.

This is complete nonsense. And of course, the post ends with "neurotypicals should not respond to this," preemptively shutting down any nominally neurotypical person saying, "hold on, that's not true. I can touch hot stoves and I don't get a serotonin hit from scrubbing my toilet."

It made me think about some other things I've seen floating around, and the picture that emerges is this: neurotypicals are always able to focus. They never procrastinate. They never feel anxious, awkward, or depressed, and never have trouble making friends or relating to people. On the other hand, neurotypicals lash out when they encounter neurodivergent people, because neurodivergent people are incapable of lying, and neurotypicals are incapable of honesty. This makes neurotypicals naturally prone to abuse.

Neurodivergence, meanwhile, covers a wide range. Since it's not neurotypical to be anxious or depressed, struggling with either of those things makes you neurodivergent. Since it's not neurotypical to procrastinate, procrastination makes you neurodivergent. Since it's not neurotypical to have a messy house, if you have a messy house, it points to some inherent dysfunction in your brain that makes you neurodivergent.

My feeling is, increasingly, that "neurotypical" is a stand-in for two things: first, an unattainable ideal that none of us are capable of achieving, but that serves an important sociocultural purpose by completely individualizing our struggles and suffering; second, the bully, whether it be a peer, a teacher, a parent, a system, etc. There is no actual Neurotypical Person as understood by the denizens of social media. It's a spook.

100% agreed. I liked him enough as a character, but in my mind he represents the worst of the Jedi and a symbol of the reasons the Jedi order had to end and then be remade.
