Been thinking about a rant post I wanna make.
Anyway, for ppl who’ve listen to tma: Did the fandoms general reaction to Jon and Martin’s relationship in s5 being “omg cute boyfriends!!” “omg love conquers all, I bet they’re kissing in a new universe together forever!!” When the relationship is textbook emotional and domestic abuse that borders on being actual torture, ick anyone out as much as it did me??
I literally was so uncomfortable and grossed out by how many people just…view s5 as cute and not a severely mentally ill man being isolated, abused by the one person he thought he could trust, and then having his only autonomy being taken away from him. Like. Did. Did we listen to the same podcast? Why….why is this cute? Martin called Jon a monster for “"enjoying”“ the torture he was going through, while also throwing fits when Jon didn’t use his monster powers to kill people whenever he wanted. Like. Like thats not cute? Thats abuse? That’s really upsetting abuse?
I was originally fine with it, cuz it’s a horror podcast, but after the finale and Jonny’s Q&A stuff I was like oh noooooo,,,,, this was supposed to be cute, Jonny what the fuck man. Luckily he’s an firm believer in death of the author so Jonny is dead and jondaisy is actually canon fuck you.
I feel like I would’ve stayed in the tma fandom longer but I fucking despise jmart so goddamn bad that I basically hated 90% of fic/fanart. Also someone yelled at me on anon for trying to say this before lmao
