Some Fandom PSAs

Dear fandom:

1. Enjolras does not hate Grantaire.  He is the only one who doesn't just look at Grantaire and see a funny drunk friend, but someone who has the potential to be great.  What frustrates Enjolras is the fact that Grantaire has just given up, despite him actually being capable, if he tried, of being someone Enjolras would respect.

2. Grantaire is not emo.  Just, no, okay?  Grantaire is not generally a happy bunny, but his despair is not the sort that involves tons of sobbing and self-mutilation.  If you cannot comprehend alcoholism without having to categorize it as emo, there are articles all over the internet about this.

3. Thor is not a moron.  I get that Loki is canonically cleverer than Thor, and that's fine.  But Thor is also a functioning Norse god who has been alive for thousands of years.  He's immature early on in the Thor film, and he often doesn't really understand human society, but that doesn't correlate to his intelligence.  He's loving and a little too trusting sometimes, and doesn't want to give up on Loki, but that also doesn't make him stupid.  /Loki/ might think so, but Loki is also an insane genocidal maniac.  I know him replying "why" to the "you can't just kill an entire race" line is funny, but it also shows you Loki is okay with murdering the entire earth, which, if he were real, would include every single obsessed Loki fangirl.

4. Loki is a little misunderstood, but it does not change the fact that he's a mass-murdering little bitch.  Yeah, he's been through some tough shit, and that sucks, but none of what has happened to him, or the fact that he's pretty, excuses his terrible behavior and penchant for creating death everywhere.

5. Magneto vs. Iron Man was a thing that happened in comic canon.  Do you want to know what happened?  Iron Man made a suit of carbon nanotubes and summoned electromagnetic power from Jupiter, upon which Magneto summoned electromagnetic power from the entire rest of the universe.  Magneto then lets Iron Man win so they can move on to more important things, like that thing Magneto senses is going to end the world.  My point is, if you're going to insist that Iron Man is not susceptible to Magneto because Iron Man's suit is made of a gold-titanium alloy that isn't magnetic (by which I assume you mean ferromagnetic, or basically a magnet), you are an idiot.  Firstly, Magneto also can control metal in general in most canons, and secondly, there is only a very tiny chance the Iron Man suit isn't overall paramagnetic, which means it will be susceptible to magnetic fields.  It would admittedly take a large field to actually be effective, but--Magneto.  The ultimate reality is that Magneto is ridiculously overly powerful, but he has enough common decency not to blow up everyone he fights by manipulating the iron in their blood.

6. Stop feeding the trolls, okay?  Especially on youtube, where there is approximately 1 troll for every 5 users.  Just mark their comments as spam, don't respond, and move on with your life.  Trust me, responding only makes you look like a moron, them feel better about their lives, and the rest of us annoyed that the comments are just all trolling arguments.

loki, ranting, fangirling
