The art history version of “you’d look prettier if you smiled more”
I just find it funny how nowadays fandom just
Like when did we let this happen.
Yes, people can get uncomfortable all they want with something but bringing this weird moralism into fanfic is just so weird to me. Also the way they think of themselves as "not delusional" and "morally superior" simply because they click exclude on the enemies to lovers filter.
It's... Kinda fucked up how performative this feels
Bullshit, if they didn’t murder or maim at least one of their loved ones then there is no spice.
Oh no, we just couldn’t have that now, could we?
Literally should be the point of renewable energy. The point of society in general should be to make as many things cheaper or free as possible.
this is really the world we live in huh
As other people have pointed out, this only stops you from monetizing the video. The artist/record label will automatically take the creator's cut. Trust me, it's happened to me on some of my amvs/edits. And it was no big deal. I don't even get a cut normally as my channel is unmontized, I just had to turn adds on for that video (and turning adds off for unmontized videos is an option YouTube took away recently). This is as opposed to a lets player coming across copyrighted music in a game.
But the scary part (other than the blatant attempt to avoid accountability) is that I absolutely know where this cop got this tactic, without fully understanding it. Because I've seen multiple lefty posts about doing this to right wing streamers. And for them, it really does spoil their footage. But it only works on your Kaitlyn Bennet types. It's bunk if the uploader isn't doing this professionally and/or doesn't care if the video is monetized. Recordings of "debates" with college students are a whole different class of thing from videos of police abuse. It's just a reminder that cops can see all these publicly made tactics posts.
darcy’s first proposal he’s like “hello woman who is half an inch away from snapping my neck, i have something to tell you and you have to hear this right now, i must tell you how i feel, sit there and listen as i monologue” and then when he delivers the letter he’s like “i’ll just leave this here, you don’t have to reply if you don’t want to, sorry for bothering you” and then his second proposal he’s like “if you’re still not into it, i promise i will never bring it up again, i’m only here darkening your doorstep because i heard from my aunt that you maybe don’t hate me anymore but if i’m wrong, just say so and i’ll dip, sorry for bothering you again”
ladies, you ever reject a man so hard he learns boundaries for the first time in his life?

I know it's cool to shit all over Twilight, but I think the reason it was so popular and people keep revisiting it, is because of its HEA.
Edward and Bella got everything. They're forever young, forever beautiful, and forever having hot sex in a cabin made just for them.
During a time when YA authors and fiction in general are being edgy and killing off main character because "life isn't always fair" (no shit), Stephenie Meyer basically said "You know what? I'm going to give my characters an even happier ending."
And I respect her and thank her for that. I didn't love everything about the books - especially the last one. But I still look back on them with fondness. Which is a helluva lot more than I can say for some books and/or movies. (I'm looking at you Star Wars).

Twilight was a good read for my teenage self and I still consider the movies a safe and comfy choice. I rewatch them at least(!) twice a year, especially when I’m home alone and sick. They make me happy, easy as that. There’s drama, heartbreak and action but it’s all good in the end. New Moon was worth it because in the end, it all works out for them and they get their HEA.
It’s not a good sign when a society turns against happy endings and the basic core of most of their folktales.
Twilight isn’t responsible for the downfall of YA fiction but I’m convinced it started purity culture in pop culture and this weird obsession with “girl boss” heroines.
That's because Bella dared to be a human being in a paranormal setting 😂 Despite her being the one that drives the plot a lot more that half of the powered heroines that YA writers have now.
