although i guess dear is not really gendered ... at least it never used to be... women would call their husbands "dearest" in letters
Dearest is a higher level of dear than dear so it’s sexist.
I think dear just came about when telegrams were charged by the letter
so you're saying we should genocide all dears?
No Im saying we should genocide the lobsters

A trope I fucking hate so much
When the entire plot of a something directly hinges on everyone refusing to tell everyone what's happening
bonus points if there's no real reason to hide things
The book I'm re-listening to has the protagonist being blackmailed not to tell anyone else what he's being blackmailed to do, or else one of his friends is going to get a lot of shit
*there* it makes sense, it's plot-relevant
but the shows/movies where some dumb misunderstanding spawns most of the plot?
fuck that noise.
ayyy its realistic!
?
shows with dumb misunderstandings are realistic
to a degree
i mean fuck the amount of dumb shit that has spawned from misunderstandings
Just as a show trope it's fucking annoying
again, especially if the characters are established to trust one another
Real life tropes are fucking annoying <:anders6JeAoi:484408066750808064>

Lol
Are those.... actual comic panels?
that I posted earlier?
yes.
Vertigo comics, Border Town
Ahh
about a town right on the edge of Mexico where mexican monsters are starting to show up
at least it's some indie randos
LoL
but YE LOCAL TOWN HICKS say it's JUST ILLEGALS
That's actually a pretty great premise.
And our DIVERSE TEAM of TEENAGE JACKOFFS need to do the thing
If literal monsters started crossing the Mexican border, how much different would it be? </s>
Vertigo is DC owned my dude
they absorbed Vertigo years back
That guy literally has a Lucha Libre mask.
