200th Post: Propaganda Extravaganza

WHO'S READY TO CRUSH MOB AND PAPYRUS IN THE @autismswagsummit FINALS?!

Okay, maybe Donnie isn't guaranteed to win yet, but maybe some propaganda will help. Good thing I've got some free time thanks to spring break~

Reasons to Vote Donnie:

He survived the Wheel of Doom. He had to put in a little bit of extra work to make it to the finals, and he succeeded.

Here he is on his way out of hell, carrying trophies from his Wheel of Doom battles. (I wanted him to look just slightly deranged, but I think I created Cocaine Turtle. Sorry, Donnie!)

He's canonically autistic. He's the only canonically autistic character left in the running. Who better to represent autism than a character who actually has it?

Here is confirmation from Ron Corcillo, one of the writers for ROTTMNT, that Donnie is autistic.

He has swag. Just look at these outfits from "The Clothes Don't Make the Turtle!"

Fabulous. (Also, JoJo reference in the second picture, I guess.)

He's just awesome all around. He's the smart one of the team, but he can also be short-sighted and stubborn. He puts on an arrogant and self-interested front, but he's gentle and loving deep down. He relies a lot on his tech, but he's still a capable and frankly amazing fighter.

And he absolutely loves his family. :)

He's out for revenge against Mob. We lost the semifinals by one percent. We're here to run it back.

This was Donnie's absolute lowest standing against Mob. It will be difficult, but I think we have a shot if we just band together and keep up the pressure.

So support Donnie in the finals! Vote Donnie!

Okay, we've got a week to bring Donnie to the top. Let's do this, Hamato stans!

GRAND FINALS

Mob is winning, and Papyrus is closing the gap! Did none of you listen to my plan of attack?! >:( /lh

Seriously, though, we can't let Mob get away with this again. I know the MP100 fandom is huge, but we have spunk. We have rage. We have ooze. Donnie made it this far. Let's give him the redemption he deserves!!

GRAND FINALS

what do y'all have against mob, this is goofy.

Sorry if I came off as over-aggressive with my last post. I really don't mean any sort of offense or harm to members of Mob Nation.

I can't say that I really have anything against Mob specifically, since I haven't had the opportunity to watch MP100 in full (I tried to start, but the website I was directed to only shows you 5 minutes per episode before forcing you to become a premium member). At most, some of the comments on the poll feel a tad mean-spirited...but even then, that's a tiny, tiny minority. Every fandom has those people, too. So it's nothing about Mob. It just feels good to band together with others and rally against a common "enemy." Donnie, Mob, and Papyrus are all champs just for making it this far, and I hope this event does more unification of the fandoms than division between them, but I will still have my favorite of the lot.

I'm also very, very passionate about Donnie's entire existence. He's the first canon autism representation I've ever seen that I genuinely love; Entrapta from the She-Ra reboot feels kind of infantilizing to me, for example. Donnie's allowed to just...exist alongside the others not as a mere sideshow, but a feature presentation. And Nickelodeon ripped this beautiful, important representation from our hands through their abysmal handling of Rise. He isn't even real, but I feel bad for him and want him to have some success while he's down on his luck. This isn't an excuse for stirring the pot and getting overzealous, but maybe it's an explanation.

I can promise that I'll do my best to remain respectful to fans of the other competitors; there will be no name-calling, intentionally picking fights, etc. on my end. With that said, I will remain passionate to the end. I'll be rooting for my purple softshell boy and trying to recruit others to our side, no matter how impossible the odds may be.

Excuse me, OP? All I see is an amazing video. "Not well done," my shell. :p

I made a shitty propaganda slides

@autismswagsummit

My list of reasons you should vote for Donatello in the Autism Swag Summit Finals! The propaganda isn't well done, but I contributed what I could.

In all seriousness, vote for who you want. Made this all in good fun, and congrats to the future winner.
