tv tropes doesn’t say or imply tropes are negative; it repeatedly specifies the opposite. cinemasins is bad because it actively frames the existence of tropes as a bad thing.
TV tropes- this trope really explains this one part of the movie
Cinemasins- this movie has a beginning middle and end, setting, and characters so :/:/:/:/
If I read one more fic where they write sokka as stupid and, if it’s a modern au, getting bad grades in a hard class (especially STEM) or not succeeding at school, I’m gonna LOSE IT. This goes for shitposts too!! HE LITERALLY HELPED DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO CONTROL HOT AIR BALLOONS AND CAME UP WITH COMPLEX BATTLE PLANS AND UNDERSTOOD ASTRONOMY. Stop writing Sokka like this. Comic relief does not mean 100% clueless!!!
alternate perspective; Sokka is absolutely an ADHD genius who doesn’t give a shit about a topic if it doesn’t Stimulate His Brain in The Way™ and the only classes he’s getting shit grades in are the ones he doesn’t care about
so there’s like, one professor in the STEM departments who thinks that Sokka is a lazy underachiever and when he bumps into the head of the Engineering department that professor’s like “uhhhhh, Sokka has made massive breakthroughs in nuclear fusion, partly because he knows how important the discovery is but also because he says he doesn’t want to feel guilty about using helium to make his voice sound funny”
If you are posting about Black Lives Matter and taking this blackout seriously please consider showing support to @Diversify_Ice they are an organization with the mission of “ provide sponsorship, mentorship, networks, and opportunities to underrepresented figure skaters”
Give them your attention. Highlight their work. Theres no better time of doing it than now. Besides their creator has a discourse book that you can get (physically and virtually) on Amazon.
Also check out Figure Skating in Harlem and Figure Skating in Detroit! Both organizations introduce girls of color to figure skating, along with a curriculum that aims to empower girls with leadership skills, good study habits, and wellness resources.
Also yes ! please give attention for these two wonderful organizations!
Blackout is all about giving support to black people. Artists, organizations, protesters. Look at your community and you will see theres many ways places you can show support.
