i wonder if pokemon hackers can exist in the pokemon universe like how they do irl. like learning years and years of coding in order to find a loophole in the pc boxes in order to literally materialize the strongest, shiniest, best friend
itd probably be taken way more serious, like borderline blackmarket stuff so more casual pokehackers make sure their hacked buddies dont stand out /too/ much but like, maybe 5 out of six of their team is shiny so maybe theres some suspicion
Im not saying that people should just stop watching and go hate on twilight but why are so many people on here suddenly acting like twilight had been good all along and that everyone hated twilight just bc of internalized misogyny and its huge teenage fanbase??Like yeah alot of people DID hate it bc of that but ALOT of people also disliked it mainly because of the glorification of abuse , grooming and toxic relationships in it and how it was all sold to teen girls as “True love”.
Did everyone forget that edward and bella’s relationship met ALL FIFTEEN criteria set up by the national domestic violence hotline of being in an abusive relationship???Or that bella allowed her SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER to be romantically with jacob who is the same age as bella just bc of “destiny”???
Did people forget how most of the “savage” and “wild” werewolves on were native american and all the vampires were white for no reason??Or literally ALL of the racist undertones??(check out our #twilight tag) Or how leah clearwater’s cousin is physically attacked by her ex boyfriend which left her scarred permanently yet they ended up together coz it was their “destiny” ???Or how bella literally left her family,education and single father to raise a family with edward for the sake of “true love”??
Are we just gonna ignore the glorification of stalking and controlling boyfriend behavior and the “not like other girls” form of internalized misogyny??
I could go on and on but please stop acting like twilight was anything but a crappy YA paranormal novel which got popular for some weird reason.The memes and jokes are funny and people headcanoning the characters as gay/lesbian/bi etc is good and all but please please remember why twilight was so much criticized by many many feminists too and stop introducing it to other teens bc the REAL twilight is a shitty and problematic mess which sells a very horrible image of “true love”
You can check out FHPOC’s twilight tag where other mods have discussed about this in detail.

“I was first introduced to the husband stitch in 2014, when a friend in medical school told me about a birth her classmate observed. After the baby was delivered, the doctor said to the woman’s husband, “Don’t worry, I’ll sew her up nice and tight for you,” and the two men laughed while the woman lay between them, covered in her own and her baby’s blood and feces. The story terrified me, the laughter in particular, signaling some understanding of wrongdoing, some sheepishness in doing it anyway. The helplessness of the woman, her body being altered without her consent by two people she has to trust: her partner, her doctor.“
“In class, I don’t say to my students, Do you feel it, too? Or can you imagine it? The perils of living in a world made by a different gender? The justified and unjustified mistrust? The near-constant experience of being disbelieved, of learning to question your own sanity? How much more it hurts to be let down by ‘one of the good ones?”
i really highly recommend everybody read this entire piece, not just what’s quoted in the captions. i haven’t stopped thinking about it since i read it
You throw your rent bill across the room in frustration, and it lands under your bed. A few seconds later, a claw pushes the bill back out with a wad of cash.
Monster under the bed finally paying his fucking rent.
