When your buddies come over and they tell you to only eat one brownie but nothing immediately happens so you eat another and they warn you how bad of an idea it is but make no effort to stop you because you never listen anyway and they decide to let you learn your lesson on your own which is actually just an excuse for them wanting to be entertained because it is literally impossible to overdose so you just keep eating those brownies and then two hours later you turn into a Bethesda protagonist and clip through the couch despite your best efforts to play it cool and then desperately reach for the remote to try and turn on the TV but it was already turned on so you turn it off by accident and have to turn it back on again and you change the channel to The Weather Channel®
to chill out to calming diagrams of clouds but instead they are showing cell phone footage of deadly weather events and after watching 10 minutes of anxiety-inducing near-death videos of people being murdered by tornadoes you realize that the date is June 9th
“You can’t have a character with big boobs and not sexualise them”
“There aren’t any feminist female characters that want to do things that are typically feminine”
“There aren’t any badass gay characters”
“There aren’t any cool/badass disabled characters”
“Okay well what about disabled POC characters?”

“I want a poc character that fights against racism”
“There aren’t any cool characters that aren’t young and healthy”
“There are no male characters that like feminine things”
Need I go on? Go watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Fullmetal alchemist also tackled the issues of imperialism, genocide, PTSD, friendly fire, racism, war brutality, and military corruption unflinchingly. “Most military commanders are killed by their own disgusted soldiers.” indeed.
THIS POST IS SO PERFECT I SWEAR.
Damnit I REALLY HAVE TO WATCH BROTHERHOOD
Might I add that Full Metal Alchemist is created by a woman?
