Hopefully I'm wrong and we'll see a more diverse cast list, and yeah, no disrespect to Matt Smith or Mia Goth, I like their work, but I can't be the only that's noticed this.

Im sorry but at times it does seem like their take away from YouTube chuds hating on Acolyte is : no people of color as main characters.
Two rheas graze.
Every Rhea I've ever known pronounced it REE-uh.
It's an old fashioned name, saw it a handful of times in nursing homes in South Carolina in the 90s.
It was always always always a 2 syllable name. The bird's name is the same way. They are called rheas.
What's with all these AI bots yammering on about Matt Smith in Star Wars? They're using the same hashtags and everything.

people eat up ben solo minus rey content bc heโs their Special Boy and i wouldnโt put it past disneylucasfilm (derogatory) to do something with q that doesnโt involve osha or mae and i fucking see yall already. losers
friendly reminder that manny loves and is grateful for the women involved in the acolyte and that qimir/the stanger wouldn't exist without them. so, erasing the women, especially the aniseya twins, and saying that he needs his own separate show is beyond disgusting and he would despise the idea โฅ๏ธ
06.08.2025 03:10 โ ๐ 20 ๐ 11 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 1Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

honestly I hate the whole framing that a woman choosing not to sleep with or go out with a man is โrejectingโ him
it makes it sound so active, like the default is to say yes
when in actuality we all walk by hundreds of people every day that weโre not going to sleep with
He would have been perfection as a young Palpatine, hate that Palpatine was not aged down in TROS so he could have that role.

Ppl get so caught up in wholesomespeak, they bring back 90s early 00s tropes.
So many of these accounts are anti shipping too.
Can be the most unintentionally misogynistic place. I love Tumblr for it's excellent metas, but it's hard to ignore it's tendency to amplify the cult of wholesomeness that leads to censoring writers and obliviously bringing back sexist tropes.

But it's wild to me how so much of uwu/wholesome posting can lead back to straight up tired Manic Pixie Dream Girl tropes.
It's not new for Tumblr, but the place
80s macro meme with words "Manic Pixie Boxing Helena"
Ever since the new poster for Predator: Badlands dropped I can't get this one Tumblr post from that day out of my mind.
It was all "Thia, this peppy girl will be Dek's emotional support backpack" uwu sort of "wholesome" drivel and this was my only thought:

The left is completely silent on the subject of Labubu hypno - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.

there isnโt a leftist way to talk about how to get sex from women, it is a fundamentally right wing view to believe women are the keepers of sex and they are withholding it from you because you arenโt coercing them the right way.

At most, you could read the box on a camera to spit out the info back at a customer, but that's it. The expectation was that tech savvy consumers have the Internet and already knew what they wanted, or they were not tech savvy and would simply grab what was on the shelf because it was there.
