I…I don’t even know. XD!!! Oh god Google why!

This image was created by a guy at Project Umbrella who’d pointed out that there were certain plotholes in Revelations and was also poking fun at some of the stranger aspects of Lansdale’s and Norman’s actions in the game. XD

Agreed.

Writing a fic of Raymond, Christine, and Parker interacting. :|||

SCP-966: Sleep Killer

SCP-966 are predatory creatures that resemble hairless, digitigrade humans, possessing an elongated face with a mouth lined with needle-like teeth. On each hand, they have five claws that can be up to 20 cm long. Although sharp, these are easily broken, making them unfit for combat. Physically, SCP-966 are weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density and are visible only to infrared light.

SCP-966 feed on medium-to-large sized animals, including humans. They hunt either alone or in pairs. Their hunting methods consist on emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave (dubbed as ██████ waves, in honor of the late Doctor ██████), which permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter in any of the NREM and REM sleep stages. The ability to micro sleep is also lost. So far, all attempts to make victims of SCP-966 sleep have failed. After depriving their victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk their prey until the lack of rest incapacitates it. At this point, SCP-966 will proceed to consume it. SCP-966 have proved to be very agile and silent while stalking their victims. On occasion, they will deliberately make threatening noises around the prey in order to further stress it, and may even physically assault it if the victim proves to be particularly durable.

Wild instances of SCP-966 are found all over the world. Since their discovery in 19██, the Foundation has succeeded in greatly thinning their numbers, though they are still found in large quantities in █████ and █████ ███████.

“We want to reduce the time needed to develop major titles from the usual three-to-four years to only 2.5 years,” Capcom chairman and CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto told investors yesterday.

[Click the link for more]

This gives them more opportunity to make a half-finished game, then release DLC so that they can make more money.

I can see through your bullshit, Capcom.

(sorry, followers, just stating my opinion with possible fact here.)

^^ It really is a possibility.

…If the games are good, I have no complaints. (Like Revelations.) If it turns out to be crap, though… :\

This discussion about who would win out of Chris/Leon is silly b/c Claire would just slap the shit out of these douchebags.

littlemissredfield replied to your post: Can you pick out any MS/GS characters from the RE universe?

I wish I could reblog this answer b/c I really agree with it.

*hugs* Unfortunately, Tumblr doesn’t like that idea. :\

Aside from Alice Prospero from the movies, with her canon defying psychic powers from the t-Virus and Kung Fu Fighting the Nemesis without becoming a bloodspatter and human paste on the ground? And how the narrative makes her the only competent character when on-screen? *cough*

I’d say Chris Redfield, in the game canon. (In the movie canon, he seems to be an expy of Billy, strangely enough.) And, yes, I realize I just committed fandom blasphemy. And, yes, I loathe him. :|

Okay, hear me out here. I do have reasons for saying I hate him and calling him a Gary Stu. It’s not like that crap where some moron was saying how Claire as useless and sucked and Jill was the best person ever, but didn’t give any reasons for why they said that.

Chris Redfield, as a whole, no matter what shit he pulls, seems to be treated as the hero of the story. This becomes irksome when one remembers 2 and Code: Veronica. The original reason why Claire got involved with either incident was because she was looking for Chris. Chris ran off, and as even the Dark Id (a Let’s Player who did an LP of Code: Veronica) spelled out in his walkthrough, the whole story of Code: Veronica could have been prevented by a 10 minute phone call.

Now, the reason why this bothers me is that Chris ran off and it’s handwaved in the story that he didn’t say a word of anything to his family, so they wouldn’t follow him and end up in danger. But Code: Veronica and the fandom both imply that he’s very close to Claire. If that’s true, why the hell didn’t he expect her to try searching for him once he disappeared?

(I can’t say anything about Revelations and Chris disappearing there, namely due to how it was O’Brian and Raymond manipulating the entire situation off the ship and on, respectively.)

Much like Agent Mulder in The X-Files (and this sort of pattern does bother me in the show, though I do like it), throughout the course of RE5, Chris has this half-baked theory. Said half-baked theory is that Jill is alive. His reason: A blurry, tiny, strangely angled, and tinted-in-various shades-of-green photo of a blonde woman in a tube. Chris and Sheva then disobey their direct orders and, guess what? Chris somehow turns out to be right, despite him thinking Jill was dead for three years. 

The same sort of pattern actually shows up earlier in RE2 and RE3. More specifically, Jill’s Diary and Chris’s Diary both elaborate on what happened after the events of RE1 that lead up to both games and Chris vanishing. Chris automatically hones in that Umbrella is planning something and he runs off to Europe on a lead. In Jill’s Diary, it says that Chris was talking about the G Virus. (Curiously, he says that he received help from Jill and Barry about finding out about the G-Virus, but Jill says that she knew nothing of it until after Chris told her.)

You also come across a fax in RE2 from the FBI about the G Virus. Even they know nothing about it! They do know that Irons is dangerous and try to warn Chris about him, though, so I am skeptical of there being a cover up of some sort. [Irons was part of the Umbrella cover-up in Raccoon City, so making Chris wary of someone trying to cover the whole mess up would make no sense, if one were to assume the FBI was somehow involved in trying to cover Umbrella’s shit up.]

But he heard a rumor about the G Virus and happened to turn out to be correct.

*sarcasm* Yup, that makes perfect sense. The guy who is onto Umbrella and Umbrella wants to hush up has better access to Umbrella records than the FBI. *end sarcasm*

All of these factors viewed together remind me of this article by Kit Whitfield about the Macho Sue. It notes that, among other things, quote, “As a result, from an objective viewpoint, Macho Sue doesn’t have to make any effort to do the right thing; he can act on his impulses and the right thing follows him around like a loyal little dog, herding the rest of the story into place.”

That is precisely what happens with Chris. No matter how radical or idiotic his conclusions seem, no matter how off-the-wall batshit insane he sounds, no matter how many leaps in logic he makes, he’s right. 

What makes it even worse is that Claire does the same exact thing (jumping to conclusions about what’s going on) and it’s treated realistically! She jumps to conclusions about Chris being in Raccoon City and that bites her in the ass as she gets involved in the Raccoon City incident. She then jumps to conclusions about Chris’s location and heads to Paris. That bites her in the ass again and she then gets caught up in the events of Code: Veronica.

And this is why I like Parker, Quint, Keith, Raymond, Claire, Jill, the Outbreak cast, etc. much better than Chris. They have flaws. They are vulnerable to attack. Their fates are less concrete than Chris.

But RE6 does give me hope, at least, that they’ll maybe treat him as having flaws and have him fuck up and be WRONG for once. Knowing my luck, though, that won’t happen and Leon will be treated like the bad guy for standing up to Chris and trying to call him out on his bullshit of “randomly jumping the gun and thinking he’s always right.” But that didn’t work, when Sheva tried calling Chris out about Jill and they pressed onward anyway (“That woman in the data file? Are you even sure it’s the same person!?”), so Leon would really have to stand his ground. :\

This doesn’t mean that the people who roleplay as Chris and Alice make them a GS/MS respectively. They have to keep things more realistic, lest be called out on godmodding. Hell, there’s no guarantee that other writers won’t call them out, anyway. And, what’s dubbed a “Possession Sue” by TvTropes can occur (taking a canon character that wasn’t a Sue/Stu and turning them into one in fanfiction and roleplaying).

A character, this time in fanfiction, that gets the GS treatment a lot seems to be Steve Burnside, when he isn’t being horridly demonized by the fanatical kind of Cleon shippers. It’s rather painful, because he’s not a suave person and his infection wouldn’t necessarily be the most stable, but they treat him as though his infection has no downsides (despite how he mutates into a giant monster nicknamed “Stevezilla” by a portion of the fandom).

I’m starting to wonder why you’re asking about this, anon? Not that I don’t mind answering, just curious.

There are people that actually think that Hermione, because of the whole pimples-spelling-“sneak” hex in OotP, is like a rapist or something?

*sarcastic* Because, clearly, punishing a traitor (who revealed a group that was trying to actually study the practical portion of the class they were all enrolled in) to an abusive bitch (who makes people write in their own blood, among other things) with a case of acne is the same thing as rape/permanent disfigurement　. *end sarcasm*

This is both hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

rabbleprochoice:

There is not a single popular thing that isn’t problematic. You would be hard pressed to find a celebrity, television show, piece of music, or book that doesn’t have some kind of problem with it.

Harry Potter is a great book series that teaches kids about friendship, love, sacrifice and courage and I could talk about how awesome it is and how big of a fan I am of it for weeks. But there is some serious slut-shaming in that book and the treatment of the characters of color is something that deserves the critique it gets.

But you are allowed to like things that are problematic.

If you weren’t, none of us would be allowed to like or enjoy anything and having the joy slowly sucked out of life is not the way to do social justice.

The key is to recognize when the problematic things occur and to reject them rather than defend them.

A lot of people like Glee but it’s recent missteps with a trans character introduced to the show regarding pronouns and the constant Asian stereotypes being applied to Mike and Tina are some serious issues that deserve to be looked at and subsequently rejected by fans. Glee is actually very problematic in many ways.

I can like Dane Cook for his bit about how using rape to describe winning at a video game is not okay and also recognize that he has said a lot of problematic shit and probably also plagiarized jokes. I can do two things at once. I am capable of that and so are all of you.

The fact that I enjoy that Dane Cook is talking about how rape shouldn’t be used to describe doing well at something shouldn’t be used to assume that I like everything he’s ever said and I’m confused as to why anyone would feel comfortable assuming such a thing.

Now, if I defended George Carlin’s bit about how rape is funny, then you can judge my moral character all you want because that’s obviously problematic, but I didn’t because I don’t agree with him about that and I find that bit to be quite disgusting (which is why I didn’t quote it). But bringing that up also wasn’t relevant to the quote I was talking about. 

Assuming that someone likes or agrees with everything someone has ever said, ever (or even that they like the person, show, etc. that it originated from), is a really all-or-nothing way to look at things, I think. For one, someone might not even be aware that a celebrity they like has said something problematic 15 years ago if they just started liking them a few months ago and I think it’s presumptive to assume they are aware of it but I guess that could just be my tendency to give people the benefit of the doubt.

People can appreciate things from sources that they don’t like; it doesn’t have to mean they like said source or think they/it is awesome, they merely like whatever it is they liked from it.

Just because I like the color purple doesn’t mean I have to like every single thing that has ever been purple, ever.

George Carlin has appeared on this blog before, but it’s always been a quote from that bit, specifically. And there’s a reason why it’s only always been that bit: probably because that’s the only thing we liked from George Carlin…

Love,

Rabble

Slut-shaming and problems with the treatment of characters of color in Harry Potter? I’m honestly confused about using Harry Potter as an example. Where in the books does that happen? Or are you guys talking about the fandom?
