AP Human Geo

Okay, I know I had a post about analyzing San Fransokyo using AP Human Geo concepts, and I'll make more of those later, but the AP scores for this year came out today and I got a 4/5! Holy shit- I honnestly thought I'd get a 2, cause like, I took an AP course, a college course, in 8th grade, at fucking 14 years old, that's amazing, that's great, like, I wasn't expecting that. I love human geography, but AP grading is kinda rigged/unfair sometimes, like, you can answer something completely correctly and still get it wrong because of the phrasing, so I'm happy I did well. I don't know, jsut wanted to share some thoughts, I'm not feeling great mentally, just kinda floating through my days lately, but it was a pleasant little surprise, I still feel kinda just "Eh" but it could be worse, I could've gotten a 1-2 (especially considering AP human geo had a high amount of students with a 1 this year).

I have the urge to just info dump about AP human geography and how San Fransoyko demonstrates some of the concepts from the course, this course is kinda fucking useless but I took it anyway, so now I'm here wanting to infodump about a fictional city showing concepts from a dumb AP course I chose because I thought I'd get college credits but then realized was useless.

Can I get your guy's input?

Okay, so I've been rewatching bits and pieces of big hero 6 the series after litteral years of not watching it and I wanted to ask; what's ya'lls opinion of Karmi? I think on paper or in concept she'd be interesting and someone I might relate to, someone interested in bio-tech/virology and is a smart female character who gets obsessive with her interests (from what I can pick up on and read from the wiki's) and struggles with social interactions. I think in story her role is meant to be a rivals/enemies to lovers (I know it'd likely be more rivals but I bring up enemies for a specific point later) type arc with Hiro, and a female character in a similar situation to Hiro in which challenges/apposes Hiro but ultimately grow to get along, but I'm not very fond of her in practice. I related to her yet was annoyed by her as a child, but looking back on her she makes me a bit uncomfortable. This isn't to hate on people who like Hiro x Karmi or the character herself, but I think she just irks me slightly. I was reading some people thoughts on her and the whole fanfiction aspect, while it could've been cute, jsut feels creepy to me, I understand that people like to write self insert stuff irl, and I used to have self insert stuff on this blog and I like reading self insert stuff, BUT WITH FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. And in universe, Karmi is writing about Hiro's alter ego/superhero form, who in her universe is a real person, though they're both fictional to us, they're real to each other because it's a story. (Though that's a tangent). My point with this is that from what I can tell it makes Hiro uncomfortable but his discomfort is played off/disregarded) There's also the added bit that Karmi repeated harasses/bullies Hiro in his civilian form and it irks me a bit. There can be good bullies to lovers type stories but to me, this reads off as it's meant to be endearing when it really isn't in my opinion. I've had similar situations happen to me in terms of bullying and it just is kind of upsetting to me. Going beyond that, I've foudn other posters (Which I'll link below) that talk about how Karmi acts with Hiro's alter ego, and how it comes off as kind of stalker-ish, which is another nail in the coffin for me, Karmi is repeatedly harassing and bullying Hiro in school then fawns over and sort of stalks is Hiro form while writing self insert fanfic that makes Hiro uncomfortable, while also insinuating Hiro has a crush on her in school when he doesn't and he seems uncomfortable. This feels less like academic rivals to or even enemies to lovers, because enemies generally mutually hate each other/have some form of equal footing, but this just seems like Hiro's a victim of bullying, harassment, and some stalker-ish tendencies from Karmi. I'm not super far into my re-watch of the series because I don't have much time due to end-of-the-school-year stuff and the fact Karmi just makes me not want to watch the show that much, but I kind of wanted to get feedback from other fans of BH6 as to Karmi's character and the Hiro x Karmi ship, I'm not trying to attack anyone, but I jsut find Karmi uncomfortable. While I think media can explore uncomfortable/dark/toxic ships and themes, I think with how the show treats Karmi as endearing and how the characters around her justify this behavior (from what I've noticed, like I said I haven't finished re-watching the show and I'm mostly going off of other fan's opinions I've noticed) I just think Karmi as a character is someone who in concept could've bene interesting, but in practice is somewhat damaging since I believe she makes Hiro a victim of harassment yet is played to be endearing/cute. Hiro honestly needs some friends his age and a god damn better romantic life in my opinion. (I know the show has ended already and this may be old news but I don't interact with fandom that much so far and I just wanna know if I'm insane on this take or not).

BH6 is repeatedly praised for it's deep messages with grief and I think that a series that had a target demographic of children and teens should be careful with this type of messaging, I really don't think Hiro and Karmi's ship/'romance' would survive if they were genderbent or if the people behind the show cared to realize Karmi's behavior isn't healthy. Here's some other people's takes I found on this that I think support this line of thinking. https://www.tumblr.com/rintotherinrin/752020470653648896/my-personal-beliefs-on-why-hiro-is-a-victim?source=share https://www.tumblr.com/insanely-creative-things/624822928012443648/everything-wrong-with-karmi-and-why-its-a-problem?source=share

Can someone help me??

Heyyy, so I don't generally interact with fandom that much, I hide away from people, but I found the labels pro and anti shippers online and I'm a bit confused, can someone describe those to me? I don't think there's anything wrong with shipping (within limits), like two characters with chemistry just dating/kissing/being cute is all fine and dandy with me, but I don't like nsfw of ships (especially if they're underage characters, get that shit out of here). But I don't know what those labels mean and I just want some explanations from people in fandom. Like, I don't like NSFW of ships with underage characters (especially since anyone can see them, whether they're underage or not) and it just isn't something I think people should really be creating, but I don't understand the whole anti and pro shipping stuff. Fandoms honestly kinda scare me sometimes but I wanna understand these labels, I like wholesome cute ships (even if they're vanilla or rare, as long as they're wholesome and not creepy/illegal) and I think there is a place for exploring abusive dynamics in media (it can be healing for former victims sometimes, and it can help to normalize discussions about abuse within reason, and media can be a helpful tool for teaching children to avoid abusive situations/get help if they're already in one) but I think there are lines to be drawn, now sure if any of this makes sense, I just think we should be careful with the media we make and consume, but can someone educate me on the anti and pro shipping stuff?
