How ‘real’ do you think influencer relationships are? Even when they have a kid, how real do you think it is?

I know it already is but should it be?

Let’s take a real guy who’s a real ‘bad boy.’ He’s muscular, wears ‘bad boy fashion,’ drives a sports car and a motorcycle, is arrogant, sarcastic, and an asshole to his friends, family, and kids, and very clearly doesn’t love or even like his friends or girlfriend. Is it true he’s more likable than a ‘nice guy’?

One thing I hate about guys that complain about Mary sues is that they never complain about “Gary Stus.” For example, Light Yagami was kind of a Gary Stu. He had an IQ of 215–230, he was handsome, the most popular kid in his school, and his family was upper middle class. Jace Wayland from Shadowhunters is an arrogant, brooding bad boy who’s a master martial artist, who women fawn over, and is basically the fantasy of what men and women think a cool bad boy is. Tony Stark is a multi-billionaire with multiple armored, superpowered suits that basically make him Superman, and Superman himself is basically a god.

Are these characters bad? No. I love all of them, but let’s be real here… they could be considered male Mary Sues, and these guys never bring that up.

Now, not every character or show has to be relatable. Peter Parker works because he’s an everyman; however, the opposite can also be true, and people like fantasy escapism. That’s why soap operas about wealthy people or sitcoms about financially stable families are popular, because it’s a form of escapism this goes for Mary Sues and Gary Stus too.

What do you think being famous/ a celebrity is actually like?

Assuming he/she/they don’t get obsessed and there are no drawbacks, would you?

Assuming of course the stepparent gives them a trust fund or something.

Don’t get me wrong, I love that Brand New Day is finally doing a comic-accurate Spider-Man movie, and I love, love, love the comic-accurate “homemade” suit, but I am going to miss the high-tech suits from the Homecoming trilogy. I like the idea of a skintight, spandex Iron Man suit, and I liked the HUD and the K.A.R.E.N. AI. I especially liked KAREN because, in the comics and animated series, Spider-Man would talk to himself and narrate to himself and the audience, very similar to Dexter, because no one knows who he is. I thought him having an AI was a good way for him to talk to someone. I also like the black-and-gold tech stuff inside the suit.

I don’t care about Gaza, Palestine, or the people there. I’m not one of those people who denies there’s a genocide — I do believe there is one. I just don’t give a fuck. I truly don’t. I don’t care if Israel bombs all of Gaza and kills kids. I don’t. I don’t give a fuck. Here are my actual thoughts: “Fuck them and fuck those kids.” I don’t give a fuck. They could drop a missile so radioactive it gives kids brain cancer, and I still wouldn’t care. I’m aware this is a hot take, and I have seen pictures of dead kids in Gaza, and I still don’t give a fuck. Here’s how I think when I see those pictures: “Fuck them.” That’s it.

But in public, on social media, etc., should I act like I care? I mean, just to make myself look good?

Hypothetically, there is a new superhero show coming out, and the trailer song for it is Romantic Homicide by d4vd. The reason is because the character’s love interest died in the origin story. How in bad taste would this be?

Title.

In the new Disney+ show Daredevil, Fisk is the mayor of New York. He has an anti-vigilante task force that is apprehending and putting vigilantes—and people who help them—in cages, and basically making New York a living hell. If we are to assume that, in a superhero fantasy world, 'good' billionaires exist (like Iron Man, Batman, Swordsman, Kate Bishop, Green Arrow, Iron Fist, Blue Beetle, Mr. Terrific, the Wasp, Angel, Emma Frost, Mr. Fantastic, Nightwing, Professor X, Sunspot, Black Panther, Aquaman, and Namor), then that means some billionaires and royalty aren’t terrible people. If that’s the case, then why not fight fire with fire and have Daredevil get help from millionaires and billionaires who support vigilantes and hate Fisk? Even in Daredevil Season 1, some rich people hated Fisk. Why not have them use their wealth to fight the system—for example, paying off jury members, judges, or cops, or even using their influence to make sure Fisk never gets into office again? Why not just do that?
