01. [SPOILERS for season 5 of Stranger Things]
https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/9ebcbf5edff5.png

I liked Will so much from the very beginning, probably because he reminded me of many sweet, vulnerable child protagonists in movies from my childhood: Stand By Me, The NeverEnding Story, The Goonies, etc.

But I never thought Stranger Things did Will justice. Not even in his coming-out scene. He was frequently the catalyst and victim, and I'd hoped season 5 would be his season. They... tried. I can see that they tried. Maybe it was too little, too late? It was underwhelming.

I hope the actor has a better career arc after this to make up for it.

I don't think people who like the Harry Potter books or movies, create fan works, or pirate newer stuff like the game or the new show, are doing anything bad. Don't give JKR money, but enjoying it in a way that doesn't give her any is fine.

And I have seen the 'She thinks people who like HP support her!!' argument. She doesn't know if you're pirating or writing fanfic. Anyway, who cares what she thinks.

[Kobe Bryant, XXXtentacion]

I find it annoying that whenever a celebrity who allegedly did something problematic in life,dies there is a group of killjoys who are quick to remind everyone what the celebrity did, even before the body is cold and imply anyone who mourns the celeb is a bad person or ignorant. THe deaths of Kobe Bryant and XXXtencion were prime examples of this. When Kobe Bryant died people came out of the woodwork to rag on him for being an alleged rapist and gave people shit for "mourning a rapist" . XXXtencion was ragged on for being an alleged abuser. The worst part is tha tmost of the people doing this had nothing to say about their alleged crimes when they died? When they died , people suddenly care about tehir alleged crimes? Where was the outrage over kobe being a rapist when he was alive?

04. [WARNING for discussion of pedophilia]

Love how people continue to shit on Taylor Swift when the Epstein list just came out and has so many celebrities, politicians, etc who are pedophiles and all around corrupt ghouls. But we've got to focus on what is important, which is obviously tearing down a pop star because we don't like her music or her fiancé or whatever. Clearly, that is more important than talking about how the president of this godforsaken country is a literal pedophile.

I find the intended moral of "Michael Jacksons Ghosts" to be very disturbing. The Mayor is painted as a villain for trying to chase out of his town , a strange adult man named Maestro meeting up with minors in secret at night. Maestro drives the mayor to suicide and it is treated as completely right by the in-universe narrative and the parents start loving maestro after the mayor dies. Apparently parents should just let their kids meet up and play with strange adults who tell them to keep secrets. WTF. Seriously WTF

Hard agree. I just had this conversation with a friend. They can't stand to have anything to do with anything remotely JKR or HP related and immediately think less of people, where I'm like who cares if she isn't profiting? Enjoy your fanworks and your silly RPs and communities, just don't buy the stuff that she makes money on. And I agree, fanworks and fanfic is not in the public eye and she does not make money on it. Go have your fun.

Honestly, the show...woobified? Whumpified? Will so much. I like the character, but I got tired of seeing him cry.

People can care about more than one issue. Maybe stop hanging around where people are complaining about TS and hang around where people are complaining about Drumpf?

you're absolutely right, we've got to focus on what is important, which is bad people saying mean things about pop singers on the internet

After watching "Leaving Neverland," I can no longer listen to the songs "Childhood", "Little Susie", "D.S" and "The Lost Children". I can listen to the rest of MJ's songs just fine, but the songs I mentioned make me extremely uncomfortable. Especdcially childhood. It feels so manipualtive to me. Doesn't help that its accompanying music video is creepy AF in reprospect.

You know we can do both, right?

But I don't care about her fiance and I don't need to tear down her music. This fascist regime is already doing that by using it for their soundtrack and it's very telling that she doesn't tell them to stop.

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'm trying something new with the comment secret thread and extending the deadline to comment until Monday's post goes up. I'll monitor this thread until then, and hope the extra day will be more helpful for everyone.

Cheers,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.
