My prediction...
Jul. 20th, 2013 12:34 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
surrealistdreamer...for what's going to happen in the future with the people who are crying about leaving tumblr fiveever because they're supposedly cracking down hard on nsfw stuff (even though all evidence points to they're actually not). A couple weeks from now they're still going to be on tumblr. They're still going to post nsfw stuff and people are still gonna see it.
Honestly this is starting to get really annoying. Though the thing that really makes me want to roll my eyes so hard they fall out of my head is that people seem to want to scapegoat yahoo even though tumblr has always run itself as ineptly as possible without the intervention of a large company. And if I see one more post whining about yahoo wanting to clean the site up "for the children" even though tumblr let's you join if you have an email and has never asked for your age then I'm gonna throw up.

You know, that's something that could plausibly have become a problem in the canon verse. They already have Kaiju groupies and trophy-collectors, and IRL our world already has doomsday cults and wackos who think human extinction would be a great thing for their extremely romanticized and very unscientific ideal of ~nature~. (Yes, humans do a lot of things that are bad for our own species and all the other species around us. But natural systems without humans do NOT work the way the "human environment guilt" extremists think they do.)

Date: 2013-07-22 10:58 pm (UTC)As an added bonus, it already sounds so much more girl-friendly than all the crappy attempts by dudes to "reimagine" the Disney Princesses as "warrior princesses" or "kickass" characters, which always seem to entail putting them in skimpier-than-ever outfits and more sexualized poses. (It's especially gross when Pocahontas is included because she 1) is based on a real life person who 2) was actually only 10-12 years old when she met John Smith).

Date: 2013-07-22 11:10 pm (UTC)Also I even came up with a tragic backstory for Goofy wanting to become a Jaeger pilot. His wife and son were killed in a Kaiju attack and he wanted to initially be a pilot, but a lot like Neville he was too clumsy and had a bad tendency to get lost in the Drift. Not wanting to kick him out of the program completely Micky gave him a counseling position. Goofy is particularly invested in Sora's team because they're the youngest out of all the pilots (being in their late teens/early twenties) and acts a paternal figure to them all. Donald won't admit it, but he's fond of the kids too.
