because it makes u feel intellectually superior? because you associate it with education and think that the mais educated you are the better you are? because being educated automatically makes you an athority on whatever you wanna say? because when u don’t have a real argument it’s an easy way to get points?
here’s the thing
last time I had an account on this hellscape (before I was rly active on Twitter and stuff) I cared a looooooot about grammar like y’all do. I was totally a dick about it. but then I realized! It doesn’t fucking matter! someone can make a great point and not have perfect grammar. someone can make a shitty point and have perfect grammar. nowadays on Twitter the only people I still see correcting grammar are like literal nazis and meninists. people mistakes all the time. not making mistakes is not a sign of intelligence, nor is perfect grammar.
I made an account here again and realized y’all were still stuck in those ways. I made a pesquisa asking how much social media y’all use and for a lot of u it seems to be like only fanpop so maybe that explains it. If not exactly culty this club operates on its own rules. You care about grammar. You care about your “ringleaders.” if someone insults one of them you all take it personally. You don’t trust or care about outsiders until they prove themselves to you. I think you guys really are kind of stuck in your ways, and you’re just going to attack me for this, right? You guys find meaning in meaningless places. You care about grammar because you always have.
Also, lowkey it is kind of elitist to care about grammar. When you care about grammar you’re associating it with intelligence and education, right? maybe that’s true to some extent. but not everyone who is educated is still going to have perfect grammar, and people still make mistakes. And even if grammar did indicate education, does that mean that someone who is less educated than you doesn’t have anything meaningful to say? Does that mean that you will dismiss anyone who doesn’t have perfect grammar because you think you know better? How is it not elitist to dismiss people on the basis of how they talk? Does that not sound similar to dismissing immigrants who don’t speak perfect English, or black people who use AAVE, or women or say “like” and “literally” a lot?
grammar is very important in some settings. casual internet use is not really one of them. u can use ur perfect grammar if u want but criticizing others for it? when it does not matter at all and you’re only doing it to boost your own ego?
You guys care about grammar because you always have, and because you see it as a mark of intelligence. It’s fine to care about how you present yourself on the Internet but trying to police others only fuels your own ego. It isn’t kind or productive. It isn’t a real argument. It’s honestly just a bad look.

Rant 2: Geewuners!
I'm baaack!
Here's something that annoys me: Geewuners!
If you're new to the concept, Geewuners are people who are fãs of transformers G1 and think that everything is crap! Not all G1 fãs are Geewuners, as I like G1 myself. But the difference between me and Geewuners is that I like Armada, Beast Wars, Beast Wars 2, Beast Wars Neo, Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, Cybertron, Energon, Bayformers, Prime, and Go!
I know that they want to keep their "Nostalgia", but come on, it's not just for you. Just ask the millions of people who watch and buy Micheal Bay's Transformers.
On a different note, people should open their minds to the transformers 4 Dinobots. I know they're not G1 Dinobots, but their not supposed to be!
I just think that Geewuners should open their minds to other series.
I'm baaack!

Again disney has wrapped its magical fairy hands around this tale making it two movies, when in reality this tale is quite short.
There is a young girl, who is working out in the fields. Her sandália falls off and a eagle (or hawk) then picks up the shoe. She chases after it leaving her family just for the shoe, which the bird drops on the kings lap. The king orders her beheaded but sees her beauty and declares her his wife, also ending in forced child birth of several sons.
(Have yet to find how she dies.)
