Transcript by OP

I loved this show until the last few episode. I don’t know what happened, but the story really stalled and the ending was anticlimactic. The main character basically had no reaction when his wife died, and the bad guys downfall/death was so unsatisfying. I feel like a lot of K-dramas start off strong but have a drop in quality towards the end.

[(Anonymous)]

I've watched some that have managed to keep the momentum, but yeah there's still def plenty that have this really weird drop off in the last few episodes where everything gets kind of clumsily slapped together.

I am still never going to forgive Black for introducing a 3rd bad guy in the last episode and then giving the worst slapped together ending.

Hey, Call the Midwife finally killed the old bat. After teasing it from literally the start of season one, episode one, they got to within fifteen minutes from the "roll credits" of the grand series finale before they did it. 14 years of "Is Sister Monica Joan gonna die tonight" before the answer was "yes".

I was right, it had lost all emotional impact to me.

I don't watch this show.

Serious question... what happens to her little dog? :(

Transcript - The Sims

[Image of post from Pirat_Nation: "EA has removed a disturbing user-created household from The Sims 4 Gallery that depicted Jeffrey Epstein with several child Sims dressed only in towels and bathrobes. The content was flagged by players and taken down quickly after widespread reports."]

THE SIMS COMMUNITY IS A SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP PLACE

[(Anonymous)]

Nice job, EA. Now if only the government, Hollywood, and other organizations would follow this example and fucking ban pedos in real life. (Spoiler: you don't accomplish this with forced internet ID verification)

This whole incident has made me realize people are not that far away from insisting disabled people should be in asylums.

I haven't kept up with this past the initial uproar. How did a discussion about racism and Tourette's turn into what OP is talking about?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean... have you seen the current state of the world?

I know this is bait, but ... why?

It's a poorly written, plothole-laden children's series even without the reams and reams of transphobic baggage attached.

There are so many excellent books out there, why would you stick with this one knowing all you do?

I get nostalgia, I do, but at this point any whole-ass adult who proclaims they're a fan of this nonsense without also being a current fan of other drivel they enjoyed in their childhood is just sad. Read literally anything else, you stunted bigot.

Transcript by OP

If you use racial /ethnic, gender /gender identity/sex or sexual orientation based slurs against someone you can't convince me that "it's not about that"/"I don't hate them for that!" The moment you brought slurs for an unchangeable aspect of them, you MADE it about that.

I cannot STAND Lily Orchard (cartoon/media analyst critic) and the very SOUND of her voice raises my hackles She's an annoying contrarian, often just doesn't GET things if it suits her narrative and is also lately a HUUUUUGE hypocrite for throwing in her lot with the anti "if you write that in fiction you're promoting it" crowd with some of the stuff she wrote in the past and now lies/is in denial about. But I also have loved ones who are trans, so if someone were to start hurling around trans slurs an deadnaming her- I would be among the first to tell them to shut the fuck up and pick a REAL problem about her.

People resorting to use bigotry in their beefs with someone also gives that person a reason/excuse to point to when saying "They only hate me because I'm [Race/Gender/Orientation]"

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... 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.

[Jane Austen Sequel Novels]

I do not understand why so many Jane Austen Sequels are murder mysteries.

The silliness of the concept even is a plot-point in Northanger Abbey.
