hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

I think a salient point being missed here is that people are not usually intentionally making the characters they write fic about 'OOC'. If they are, it's generally tagged for--otherwise, what one person considers OOC another may think is a reasonable extrapolation given whatever scenario they've concocted for the fic that never actually happened in canon, so any relevant characterization is inherently subjective.

And it's not as if characters being 'OOC' doesn't happen in the source material, too. It's all subjective, obviously, but arguments can be made about poor characterization within a book or tv series, and when it comes to comic book characters? Please! They often can't keep characterization consistent from one run to the next! (That's what happens when different people take the helm and interpret the characters differently depending on whatever scenario they've been given, and it just becomes more pronounced the further removed the character becomes from their origin story. The only real difference between an OOC comic run and someone's half-baked fanfic premise is that people actually have to pay for the former and someone was paid to create it. Fanfics are provided for free, at the expense only of the writer's labor, and should not necessarily be subject to the same level of scrutiny.)

Sometimes someone just wants to take, like, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers and go "what if one of them was a vampire and the other was a werewolf", and the resulting fic may not seem to characterize them the way you, personally, think they would behave... but then you could just close the fic and go read something else. It doesn't mean that the writer was intentionally slapping well known names on their own OCs. (and even if they were, it's not as if they were getting paid for it so who really cares?)

*gestures* the reason i don't take anyone seriously that says ooc gosh why doesn't a character written in his late 20s or mid-30s act like the canon character of 16 getting older is not ooc people growing up is not ooc <- all of that! sometimes an older version of a character is OOC… because they’re older! extrapolating who they might be given more time and whatever experiences are in the story are literally just part of it lol I mean I definitely sometimes open a fic and go ‘he would not say that’ and close it but there tends to not be any nuance when people start throwing around OOC as a term

alright so during into the spider-verse's introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews -- however, i believe this is enough by itself). it's a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.

we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!

here we have gwen stacy's peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice -- in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn't make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker's ethnicity -- although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.

and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.

and y'know what? good call on that one guys.

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

funkylilpunk

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

something people arent really mentioning about the we didnt start the fire cover is that as part of it fall out boy are giving away a trip and vip backstage tickets to their boston show, and to enter you have to sign a petition asking for support of the lgbt community or donate to one of three organisations, including the bands charity fund, the human rights campaign and everytown for gun safety. so i dont think its that bad.
