“I don’t like the Jack Harkness test because it means it’s okay to fuck Scooby Doo”
yes that’s the entire damn point of the Harkness test. The Harkness Test doesn’t exist to say you have to fuck Scooby Doo. The Harkness Test exists to say that it is morally/ethically fine for someone to want to fuck Scooby Doo, because Scooby Doo can give informed consent and communicate as such.
the reason you don’t like it is because none of you are self-aware enough to realize how incredibly fucking puritan all of you are when it comes to fucking
Tumblr being free is humanity’s greatest error.
Then pay me 20$ if you feel so strongly about it
not the people pretending fiction doesn’t affect reality bestie! there is definitely not a single person who finds a fictional dog attractive that also fucks dogs in real life. there is no way in the world these things could ever be connected to each other, your brain is a vacuum and your thoughts don’t influence your decisions, your body acts entirely on autopilot. you people are fucking dipshits.
how do you find Scooby Doo hot without finding literal dogs hot. his body is literally just a dog. not a humanoid dog, a literal dog. he speaks partly in barks. if you don’t think that attraction would come from someone that also wants to fuck actual dogs you might genuinely have brain worms.
Me as a recipe: a fucking snack
You as a recipe: oversalted methinks
“how do you find Scooby Doo hot without finding literal dogs hot” is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
Scooby Doo is a drawing.
At bare minimum he doesn’t drool and he doesn’t need to be taken for walkies.
actually nvm you have more wrong with you than is worth getting into. I’d unpack it but I’d rather incinerate the suitcase
Ship discourse aside, what exactly in this list is ‘wrong’ without sounding ableist and Christian centric? You have some deeply ingrained bigotry in your heart if you think saying things like this is justifiable. Your personal comfort is not a morality issue and, again, what about this list aside from ship discourse warrants that reaction unless you just hate people that are not all universally like you?
being proship and proudly problematic is sad, bragging about that in your mid 30s is sad, and on your part running a discourse blog in your mid 20s is also sad. find a real hobby
While it is very funny that people are mad about Scooby Doo shipping, these last couple of bits are a really toxic mindset.
You are not going to hit an age where you suddenly don’t enjoy your hobbies or care about issues. You don’t hit thirty or forty or fifty and suddenly decide you want to do nothing but watch the news and think big grown up thoughts.
Maturing is an expansion of interest and possibilities, not a contraction. I love things I never would have given the time of day when I was 15. But I also still love most of the stuff I loved back then, too. I maybe have a slightly more critical perspective, but I still think rock music, and goth fashion, and horror movies are fun. I hope I never lose the ability to enjoy those things.
This sort of ageism is a nasty thing to do to the people around you, but it is also poison for yourself. If you decide being an adult means being a joyless drone, you are setting yourself up for a lot of misery. And it is more than a bit misogynistic. It is very seldom men are told to abandon their interests as they age, but women are expected to drop all whimsy and fun once they hit the age where they are useful domestic servants and consumers.
We should all do better than that.
if shipping discourse is your hobby, you need a new one, whether you’re 15 or 35. it’s just sadder when you’re 35.
People don’t lose interests in reading or writing fan fiction just because they get older. “Shipping discourse” is generally rather pointless because shipping itself doesn’t matter. But if everybody believed that, where would we have the opportunity to laugh at folks for getting mad about shipping Scooby Doo?
