Hope Plank's AITA Story

AITA for banning my kids from watching Ponyo?
Hello. I'm Hope Plank. You may know me from the episodes of Supernanny. Well I decided to do a AITA story here because I sometimes make mistakes, and I need to know if I'm in the wrong here.

So this first story is about Ponyo. Now, I have six troublemakers named Tyson, Serena, Larson, Lois, Blake, and Lisa. They like to watch bad movies and listen to bad music. I'm positive that they have influenced their bad behavior.

Now, one of their favorite movies is Ponyo, which is one of Studio Ghibli's movies that were released back in 2008. I hate that movie, and it's my least favorite movie from the company because it is so childish and boring. It lacks the seriousness and meaning of Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, with those three being my favorites from the company.

Because of my hatred to that movie, I've decided to ban the movie from my kids. Now, Maria, Lilian, and Lianne don't mind, because they don't even watch Ponyo, but the other six raged at me for banning it and rebelled even more.

There have been moments where they've snuck the movie in and played it in their rooms. They're even in the Ponyo club, which is just as stupid as it sounds!

Now, I've gotten people like BE!Maria call me out for banning the kids from watching certain movies like Ponyo just for being panned by critics or being too inappropriate or for babies. BE!Maria in particular quoted:

''Let me tell you something and here’s some advice: Stop listening to biased “critics”. They don’t control nations, and they shouldn’t control thoughts or other shit. I can dislike the damn films, but there’s films out there that are slammed by critics I actually enjoyed.''

So am I in the wrong here? Because I need to know.

TL;DR: I ban my kids from watching Ponyo because I find the movie too childish.

Comments
"Seriously, Hope? What did Ponyo ever do to you? Let the kids watch the movie if they want to!" - KidsOfTheWhiteHole

"I don't like Ponyo either, but I don't ban my children from watching it. It's not like Cannibal Holocaust or the Faces of Death." - HorrorGeek993

"NTA! Ponyo is a horrible film! I do recommend showing them much better films instead!" - GrayCrackerz

"Hope, we've already talked about this. You can't just ban the kids from watching movies like Ponyo just because you don't like them. Just let them watch Ponyo for fuck's sake!" - MariaTachimi1981

AITA for selling my younger brother's Nine Inch Nails CDs and vinyls?
This happened a few days ago and I need to know this.

Now, as I've stated in my previous post, the troublemakers like to watch bad movies and listen to bad music. It's all either panned by critics, too inappropriate for their age, or are for babies. I have a strict list for the list of musicians and albums that they aren't allowed to listen to. Everyone else follows them, but the six don't.

One day, I went to vacuum Tyson's room when I found that he owned CDs and vinyls of Carcass, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Eminem's "Revival' album, Yoko Ono, Daddy Yankee, and others. But what pissed me off the most is that he owned Nine Inch Nails albums like "Pretty Hate Machine", "The Downward Spiral", "The Fragile", and other albums from the band.

Now, I ban the kids from listening to NIN not because they're inappropriate, but because the band is infamous for being liked by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who committed the infamous Columbine high school shooting back in 1999. The boys liked to listen to that band, and quoted lyrics from their songs. They also liked to listen to KMFDM, a band I also banned from them. Worse, their fans, nicknamed "Columbiners", also like to listen to these bands and are influenced to do copy-cat shootings.

I didn't want Tyson to become one of the Columbiners, so I decided to take all of the NIN albums he had, and sold them in a thrift store. I also got rid of KMFDM and Marilyn Manson, but NIN was the most prominent because he owned so many!

When Tyson got home from school and found out what I did to his albums, he flipped his crap. He got Alexa to play multiple NIN songs, smashed my laptop, punched holes on the wall, and even flipped the dining room table and broke its legs! Tyson was out of control.

Valentin, my father, gave me dirty looks, because he said that I shouldn't sell his albums because it causes Tyson to snap. Valentin said that next time, I should consult him before I do something like that.

TL;DR: I sold my younger brother's NIN albums in fear that he will become a Columbiner, and he raged at me.

Comments
"Hope, this is absolutely ridiculous. I listen to NIN, but I am not a Columbiner at all. Fuck those people. Let Tyson listen to NIN and KMFDM if he wants to." - TheLivingJugglars

"Hope sounds like a Karen in this. Even Valentin was against her decisions in this one, and I know him for being strict against bad movies and bad music!" - NicolasandtheNintendos

"Trent Reznor is probably cringing right now knowing that some overprotective sibling thinks that listening to his music will make him a school shooter. Do you also believe that Marilyn Manson shot up Columbine with Eric and Dylan?" - NINFan888

"NTA! NIN is a bad band, and so is KMFDM and Marilyn Manson! You did the right thing to sell those albums!" - TheBiggestKarenEver

"Oh fucking hell.... Are you fucking kidding me? You know why no one likes you? It’s because you do utterly dumb shit like this. I’m a father of a five-year old girl and she watches Cells at Work!, which actually contains blood, yet it isn't as bad as say JJBA, and as long as she enjoys it, there's nothing wrong with it. You remind me of my first foster parents with this shit. They didn’t like heavy or death metal, but at least they had the fucking decency to not sell my shit. My twin sister and wife doesn’t like exploitation gorefests I watch either, but that doesn’t fucking stop me! I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you caught my daughter watching Ponyo and made her fucking cry by shutting it off. I bet you do this to other people’s kids.

And as for you TheBiggestKarenEver, please fuck off. No one is even gonna take you seriously with that username alone!" - TypicalSociopathicGangster999

AITA for telling my crazy friend that I won't send her entitled son gifts anymore?
This happened just yesterday, and I gotta know.

One of my friends is named Jessica, and she has an eight-year-old son named Ethan. Jessica is a bossy woman, but her son is even worse. He wants everything in the world and if he doesn't get it, he throws a massive tantrum over it. It also doesn't help that Jessica refuses to discipline him at all, because she thinks that children can do no wrong and that even placing him in the corner counts as child abuse.

Ethan also loves Wasted Youth, a hardcore punk band that later did some crossover thrash. Now I hate hardcore punk, and I especially didn't like Wasted Youth. However, I bought him a vinyl to their album "Reagan's In" for his birthday, and he liked it.

I go to their house the next week, and I found that the vinyl I gave him was now shattered to many pieces! When I asked him what happened, he said that he accidently scratched it when he was trying to put the needle in the record, and he smashed it out of anger. He wasn't bothered by it though, and said that he just pirates his music off of LimeWire anyway.

I was furious, and got into an argument with Jessica. As a vinyl collector myself, I hate to see vinyls be treated like that. Jessica said it wasn't a big deal. I then told Ethan that I was never buying gifts for him again.

That was yesterday, and now I get messages from Ethan's friends calling me names and saying I'm an idiot for even buying him that vinyl that he was gonna smashed. Jessica's friends also jumped on the Hope Plank hate bandwagon. So AITA for this?

Comments
"NTA! Jessica and Ethan remind me of Alicia and Simon from BE!Maria's AITA Stories." - CrustPunkFan092

"Ethan is such an unlikeable jerk. I know Jessica personally, and Ethan is a crazy kid! I once saw him knock down a shelf just because the storeowner said he couldn't buy beer!" - EntombedFreakz

AITA for trying to stop Xiu-mei and the kids from watching Ponyo?
If you've seen BE!Maria's AITA story, you already know what to expect.

Me and the kids were coming to the gang hideout to meet. The six troublemakers weren't coming with us, because they already caused a lot of trouble in the last visit. The kids got to watch a movie while me and the adults talked in the living room.

I went to check the kids when I saw them watching Ponyo. I was upset that the kids, the good kids for that matter, were rebelling and watching Ponyo. I didn't care for Xiu-mei watching it, but Maria, Lianne, and Lilian watching it? I had to stop it.

I took the remote and told the kids I was gonna put on a much better movie instead, which was Spirited Away. Xiu-mei, however, didn't want that, and said this:

"If you turn Ponyo off, I will be upset and daddy will be very angry with you."

I figured she didn't like Spirited Away, so I asked her if she was fine with me putting on Grave of the Fireflies. At that point, her father Lei came in and didn't like what I was trying to do. He told me this:

"What the hell is your goddamn problem? You're seriously gonna change the movie to Spirited Away or even Grave of the Fireflies just because you despise Ponyo? I don't even want my daughter to watch the latter at the moment due to its graphic scenes. We've already talked with you several times about doing this shit, and we've told you to stop it, and you STILL keep doing it! Just stop, and let my daughter watch Ponyo if she wants to!"

I was really upset, so I took the three and went home. I think our relationship is done for now.

Comments
"Hope, we're still friends, but you gotta stop trying to control what movies and music my daughter likes. You gotta be more open-minded." - TypicalSociopathicGangster999

"I agree with you, Lei. Hope, if you keep on dictating our tastes in movies and music, I might have to stop being friend with you, because I'm not gonna be friends with an entitled asshole who tries to control people!" - MariaTachimi1981

AITA for destroying my younger sibling's "Aryan Blood" CDs?
Now, I don't think I need to explain why Nazis are bad, and neither does anyone with a brain that doesn't tolerate hate at any kind. However, for the past few weeks, the six troublemakers are starting to get obsessed with hate music like RAC, NSBM, Nazi punk, and more. Valentin is getting concerned, because his family lives in Georgia, and they live close to the Three Percenters group, a far-right group.

I went to Blake's room to make his bed, because his bed is always a mess. However, when I went under his bed, I found a box. When I opened it, I found some CDs of a band called "Aryan Blood".

I went on the computer to do some research of the band, and according to the Metal Archives, they're a German National Socialist Black Metal band that promotes Nazism. The one-man band has released several demos and EPs including "Eternal Strife" and "To Build an Empire...", and also did splits with bands like Evil and Satanic Warmaster. I was completely shocked when I looked at the album covers and lyrics. He was spewing out racist crap like a KKK redneck!

How the heck the kids got ahold of these CDs were beyond me, but there was no way I was gonna have them stay in the house, but I also didn't feel comfortable selling them to someone else who will be influenced by Nazism as well. So I decided to get Valentin, Brooke, and Kim, and the four of us destroyed the CDs with hammers, axes, sledgehammers, and more. We then burned the remaining pieces and blasted "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles.

When Blake got home and found out what we did to his CDs, he went crazy. He said that just because he listened to Nazi music doesn't mean he's a racist bigot and called us "SJWs" and "libtards" for destroying the CDs. Lois and Larson also raged at us and said we have no respect for other people's music taste.

TL;DR: I found out my younger sibling had CDs of a racist NSBM band, so my and my other relatives destroyed them.

Comments
"Jesus-Motherfucking-Christ. As a black metal fan myself, this was absolutely shit. You don't need to ask a AITA question, because we all know you're stopping them from getting brainwashed by Hitler's bigot fucking mindset. Fuck NSBM!" - MarkSlater66

"NTA! A.B. is easily one of the worst black metal bands I've ever listened to! I mean, the lyrics are crap, but there's no rhythm in the instruments either." - RockoFlako21

"Finally, an AITA story where I side with Plank. I've dealt with plenty of racist asshole in my life, and I'm glad you made the right choice and destroyed those CDs. I hope the six get into more appropriate bands." - MariaTachimi1981

“NTA. It's one thing to own books about Nazis, and then there’s listening to music that justify said Nazis.” - TypicalSociopathicGangster999

AITA for destroying Lei's Deicide CD?
If you've seen BE!Maria Tachimi's AITA Story, you'd know what happens, but here's my side:

I went to visit TT10 and met BE!Maria and her friends. While there, I saw Lianne and Lilian pick up a Deicide CD. Now, I ban my kids from listening to Deicide because the band is very inappropriate. Some of the songs on the CD contain incredibly inappropriate lyrics about Charles Manson as well as Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre. I thought the twins were gonna listen to it, so I decided to grab the CD and smashed it with a hammer.

When Lei saw what I did, he flipped out! He took the hammer and proceeded to slap me in the face really hard.

Lei: (trying his hardest to hold his rage) What the fucking shit?! Why the hell are you destroying my fucking CD?!

Hope: My twins were about to play it, and I ban my kids from listening to Deicide because that band is too inappropriate for them!

Fumei then came and was in her husband's defense, despite assaulting me.

Fumei: So you decided the best course of action was to smash it? You could've just gave it to my husband and have him put it away somewhere where your siblings couldn't get it, but destroy it? What the fuck?

Hope: Well you know what, Lei? Next time, don't be leaving around your terrible albums around!

Lei: “I’m not your fucking twins’ daddy, I’m Xiu-mei’s, It’s not my responsibility to monitor your fucking children because of your alpha 500 IQ brain who thinks her opinions are fucking facts, Even Xiu-mei knows not to touch my CDs without permission!”

At this point, I was about to hit Lei as well when Maria arrived. She saw everything and was more furious than Lei himself!

BE!Maria: You know what, Hope? We're fucking done. If you're gonna keep on flipping your shit just because people enjoy stuff that you hate, then we can't be friends anymore. Take your siblings and leave. You're no longer welcome here.

I had to give Lei $15 to replace the CD and left the base. I'm pretty sure we're banned from the base for life now. My siblings and Valentin chewed me out and said that destroying other people's property was crossing the line. I know it was too far, but at the same time, I didn't want my younger siblings to listen to it. So AITA?

Comments
"Are you fucking serious? You're gonna ask an AITA question after that shitty stunt you pulled? Not only were you the asshole, but you crossed the line by smashing my CD. If that was Xiu-mei's traditional Chinese music CD, let's just say I would've done more than slapped you across the fucking face! As far as our relationship goes, it's broken beyond repair to say the least. Don't contact me or my family again. We're through and I fucking mean it, You have no fucking idea how you emotionally hurt me doing this, I had a friend who fucking committed suicide because of these so called pedo hunters and he gave me that CD, I fucking hate you.....Hope, You fucking disgust me!” - TypicalSociopathicGangster999

"I agree with Lei's comment. I don't like rap, but I don't go destroy someone's Ice Cube vinyl! I may be a crazy metalhead who sexually assaulted BE!Maria, but I still have standards!" - MarkSlater66

”Holy shit Mark, You’re actually right for once, what also really pissed of Lei about it is that it was a gift from a friend that committed suicide that he received on his 33rd birthday after he was falsely accused of being a pedophile for leading Xiu-mei to find her dad, “ - MariaTachimi1981

"What the fuck, Hope? I don't like metalheads, but you should not destroy other people's stuff!" - JoeBeson657

"YTA! How could you destroy Lei's Deicide CD?! This CD is from a deceased friend of his, you idiot! How would you feel if you destroy my Nicki Minaj CD because it's inappropriate?" -KlaineFanatic

"My son is right, you can't even destroy CDs that belong to a deceased friend of someone else's. It belongs to Lei's deceased friend and you're acting like a complete and utter asshole." -KellyLovesLGBT101

"I don't mind Deicide, but why would you do that? Lei's friend committed suicide thanks to those "pedo hunters" and gave him that CD, jackass!" -TransgenderParamoreFan

"You are now refrained from destroying something that doesn't belong to you. You are not allowed to come back to the Team Terrific 10 base because of your actions. You're not just a clown, you're a complete circus. Go back to the circus and put on your clown makeup." -BisexualAndProud2031

AITA for telling an entitled customer to screw off after he tried to convince me to buy a Xbox Series X?
This happened yesterday and the incident still can't get out of my head.

For the Christmas season, I decided to get some gifts for my younger siblings. Tyson, Larson, and Blake wanted a PS5, I went to the game area and was able to get the last PS5 they had. As I was at checkout, a guy wearing a Xbox shirt came up to me and took the PS5.

Me: Excuse me, but can I have that back?

EC: No! How about you buy an Xbox Series X instead?

Now, we don't like Xbox because the fanbase is trash, they ruined Rareware, and their systems aren't as good as Playstation or Nintendo. I try to tell him this, but he won't budge.

EC: PS5 is so overrated anyway! Just get an Xbox like a good girl!

At that point, an employee came to intervene.

Employee: Please give her back the PS5. You are not entitled to take it from her.

EC: No! I bet she's a scalper who's gonna sell it on eBay for like $900! Besides, girls aren't suppose to be playing video games anyway!

When he said that girls couldn't play video games, I was completely stunned. So I snatched the console from him and said this:

Me: How about you go screw off?! I am not a scalper, and I am completely against their practices! And also, it is perfectly alright for a woman to play video games. The 1950s are over, boomer!

He left in a fit of rage, and I was able to purchase the PS5.

Somehow, he was able to track down my Twitter and he got his followers to raid it. I get replies from people who call me a "Playstation dickrider" and "scalper apologist" and say that I should just switch to a "real man's console". They also found out about my strict taste in movies and music and berate me for not liking Ponyo and nu metal.

Comments
"NTA. It's one thing to not like Playstation, but to try and steal one from someone AND act all sexist about it is on a whole 'nother level!" - PCGamer555

"While I'm not the biggest fan of Hope, I'm gonna have to side with her on this one. She doesn't have to like Xbox, and the guy didn't have to try and take it away from her!" - IanSlayer924

AITA for chasing out a girl with a sledgehammer after she egged my car and posted it on Facebook to humiliate me?
Now for this one, this happened just a few days after I tried to make up Lei by giving him cake, but he rejected it and slammed the cake I worked hard on in my face. Here, I was watching Soul with my siblings because that movie is really good and one of Pixar's best movies in a while, although the six troublemakers hated it. However, I heard some screaming outside. When I went to investigate, I saw a woman throwing eggs on my car and recording it! I later find out her name was Krisha, and she was avenging Lei's CD.

Krisha: THIS IS WHAT HOPE GETS FOR DESTROYING LEI'S DEICIDE CD!!!

Me: LEAVE MY CAR ALONE, BITCH!!!

I then grabbed a nearby sledgehammer and proceeded to chase Krisha out of the driveway. No, I didn't hit her, but Krisha was scared shitless!

She also tried to get me arrested and said that I tried to kill her. However, given the circumstances, the police sided with me and fined Krisha for trespassing and vandalism.

However, she posted the video of her egging my car on Facebook as a way to humiliate me, and her brainwashed followers are now saying I crossed the line by chasing her out, even though she started it by trespassing the house and ruining my car!

Comments
"NTA. I'm still mad at you for breaking Lei's CD, but Krisha seriously had no fucking business doing that." - MariaTachimi1981

"I don't know about that, Maria. Hope had it coming. It's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks what she did was complete ass." - TypicalSociopathicGangster999

"NTA. Krisha seems extremely cruel and heartless!" - ParappaDeGangsta

"ESH. Krisha shouldn't had egged Hope's car like that, even if she did messed up with smashing someone's CD. However, Hope could've handled the situation a bit more calmly than chasing her out with a sledgehammer. She's lucky the police didn't arrest her for attempted murder!" - KiraJehovan

AITA for celebrating Trump getting his Twitter account suspended permanently?
This one's gonna be a bit short. This AITA story can also apply to those who celebrated the event.

For those who don't know, Trump recently got his Twitter account permanently suspended in the aftermath of the Capitol building getting raided. It was due to Twitter wanting to prevent him from inciting more violence. Now I don't support Trump, so having him banned on Twitter is great, since he was the most active there.

I tweeted out #ThankYouTwitter to celebrate the ban. However, upon doing that, I got a TON of backlash from conservative accounts. Here are some of the tweets.

"Fuck you, Hope! President Trump didn't deserve getting banned!"

"Oh look, another hypocritical liberal SJW who shows no concern of the president. If it was Biden you would be demanding justice!"

"Hope, this is absolute shit. Delete this tweet now. Trump deserves better!"

Turns out that they have been doing similar attacks to others who celebrated the banning and have even created a counter-hashtag named #FuckYouTwitter. So AITA?

Comments
"NTA. I don't like Trump either, so Trump getting banned was well deserved!" - PeterFrying11

"YTA! No president should ever have his freedom of speech removed over an incident that he didn't even started! Twitter needs to unban them right now" - TheRightOnez1488

AITA for telling a PlasmaMasterDon fan to piss off after they tried to defend him and called a Muslim user horrible names?
For those who don't know, PlasmaMasterDon was a Youtuber who was mainly known for doing cover songs, as well as vlogs about his personal life. Recently, however, Nick Crowley exposed him for being a sex offender after he sexually assaulted a little boy. People went on a hate campaign against him, and it led to his health problems getting worse, eventually leading to his death.

Now me and my family used to watch his videos all the time and loved his covers, but after Nick exposed him, we unsubscribed to his channel and vowed not to support him, though the six troublemakers continue to watch him and say that it's all about "separating the art from the artist". But that's not what I'm talking about.

I was on r/Youtube when I found a post that said "Everyone stop bullying PlasmaMasterDon!", which quoted this:

''It's so sad to see someone spend the last 10 days of their live being berated because some asshole named Nick Crowley accused him of some false allegations! Fuck you Nick! You ruined this man's life and his channel! I still stand with Don no matter what!''

Not only that, but the user then proceeded to severely berate others who had the audacity to disagree with him, and called them all kinds of names like "false pedo-hunters" and "heartless bastards". He even went as far as to tell a Muslim user to "go back to Pakistan and eat pork and beat wives". Outraged, I replied to him with this:

''How about you go piss off?! Don was actually a horrible person who tried to hide his past and deleted comments who called him out for it! The fact that you are defending this man and calling the evidence against him as 'biased and false' and even used Islamophobic language towards a Muslim user is absolutely atrocious. I don't say this a lot to people, but fuck off!"

The thread was closed, and the user was banned from the SubReddit. He and his friends have called us the devils and losers in the basement and how he are heartless for ruining an "sweet man's" life. I've also been getting a lot of flak for telling OP to piss off.

Comments
"NTA. I used to love Dom, but after the allegations turned out to be true, I just couldn't support him. The fact that these loser kids still defend their lord and savior and think he didn't do anything wrong is absolutely disturbing. You had the right to confront him after he used racial slurs against a Muslim user." - MemiKiKo93

AITA for getting a racist All Lives Matter-supporting employee fired after he demanded I take off my Black Lives Matter shirt and shouted a rant on POC?
This happened during the BLM protests in the summer of 2020. Me and my family were shopping at Walmart, and I was wearing a BLM shirt I got for free from a BLM protest I attended (this was the shirt I was wearing). While at the food aisle, an employee came and told me to turn the shirt inside-out or take it off and replace it with a different shirt from the store.

RE (Racist Employee): You need to get rid of that shirt. So many black idiots think they're being oppressed but there are laws that ban discrimination!

Me: You do realize there's a thing called systematic racism, right? Plus, unarmed black men are being killed in much higher rates than with other races.

Valentin: Yeah, please leave us alone. We're not doing anything wrong, and if the shirt bothers you that much, then ignore it.

RE then flips out and screams a rant about POC and how they're hypocrites and sub-human. He was speaking gibberish, but I'm pretty sure he dropped some N-words there too.

RE: ALL LIVES MATTER!!! INCLUDING WHITE LIVES!!!

At that point, Valentin reported RE to the manager and was fired. I also told him that not all BLM protests were violent and that the looters were giving peaceful protesters like us a bad name.

He now invades my social media along with his friends who call me a "stupid libtard" and "n****r apologist". They also demanded I be sent back to France so I can "let Muslims rape women".

Comments
"NTA. I'm surprised the employee wasn't jailed, since what he did was technically a hate crime." - JacksonLackson333

AITA for not supporting Marilyn Manson after domestic violence allegations?
Background: I wasn't fond of Manson to begin with due to his horrible music influencing Columbine, and I ban my siblings from listening to him because they could be Columbiners.

Now with the allegations of Manson abusing Evan Rachel Wood and other women, me and my family choose to fully stop supporting him. Anything Marilyn Manson-related is banned from our house and we also don't support others who continue to be associated with him or defend him.

Me and my family have since gotten backlash from Manson's stupid stan fans. They've called us "SJWs" for siding with Wood and also tried to defend Manson by claiming he had an abusive childhood. Just because you had a rough childhood doesn't give you an excuse to do those horrible acts against women!

Comments
"NTA. I've never supported Manson because he is a crazy artist! I don't understand why anyone would like his music. He needs to be deported from America!" - KarenMetal28

"How about you fuck off, Karen? You ever heard of separating the art from the artist? Also, he's a natural-born American citizen, and therefore, will not be deported.

As for Hope, YTA because you can't learn to like music, but not support the musician's actions. I still listen to Chris Brown, even though he assaulted Rihanna and I don't condone that shit. And if you think his music makes people wanna shoot up schools, please check in to a mental hospital, because they're been looking for your crazy ass." - MarilynMansonFan666

== AITA for banning my household from watching Disney's Soul as a way to protest the movie winning the Golden Globe Awards and probably the Oscars, thus stopping Wolfwalkers from winning, as well as spreading rumors that the characters in Wolfwalkers were gay and half of the population was black so as to earn some diverse points so that it has a higher chance of winning? == Note: At the time of writing, this happened after the 78th Golden Globe Awards and before the 93rd Oscars.

Now, I like both Soul and Wolfwalkers. I think they're fantastic movies, but Wolfwalkers is just better. That's because instead of some dumb philosophical message that only us adults can understand, Wolfwalkers has beautiful 2D animation with a story that can be loved by both kids and adults.

Now, Cartoon Saloon has been nominated for the Oscars, but hasn't won, as it keeps on getting beat by Disney and Pixar. I love Disney and Pixar, but their dominance in the awards is concerning. But when the 78th Golden Globe Awards happened at Soul won Best Animated Feature and not Wolfwalkers, I was extremely furious! I have a really strong feeling that Disney and Pixar are bribing their way to win awards. It has been shown several times in the past, and I think they're eventually gonna get exposed, just like how John Lasseter was exposed for sexual misconduct.

Since Soul and Wolfwalkers are likely gonna get nominated for the Oscars, and Soul likely gonna win that one, I had do something. I did a family meeting and I had decided that we were gonna ban Soul from this household until the Oscars happened. I also went on Twitter and encouraged people to stop watching Soul, because if people stopped watching the movie and instead watched Wolfwalkers, then Oscar is gonna think that Soul is unpopular, and if their trend of letting most popular films win continues, then Wolfwalkers will win. I even went as far as to start a rumor that Robyn and Mebh were in a lesbian relationship and that at least half of the population in Kilkenny were black so that the more liberal voters in the Oscars will find Wolfwalkers to be more diverse not just because there's black people in it like Soul, but because the main characters in Wolfwalkers are in an open lesbian relationship.

However, this backfired pretty badly. My family said that the Oscars don't matter and that their still gonna watch Soul anyways. Not only that, but the conservatives severely ridiculed me for trying to give the movie "fake brownie points". I don't care if Soul or Wolfwalkers win, but I think it would be better if Cartoon Saloon finally wins an Oscar for once and not be snubbed like in the Golden Globe Awards.

One more thing: I submitted a letter to the Golden Globe Awards asking for them to do a recount in the Best Animated Feature category claiming that Disney and Pixar cheated and used false proof against them for more legitimacy.

Comments
"YTA. Why, Hope? Why do you gotta do the shit you do? Just when I think you've reached the lowest of the low, you find a way to go even lower! For starters, we've told you multiple times that banning your family from watching films like Ponyo just because you don't like them is a terrible idea. Unless it's like Birth of a Nation or Faces of Death, there's zero need to do that! Secondly, starting some sort of boycott against Soul is pointless. That movie is so huge, no amount of protest would stop it. If anything, it will only cause people to wanna watch it MORE. Third, why the FUCK would you start a false rumor that Robyn and Mebh are gay for each other?! Like, you do realize that Robyn is 12 and Mebh is 9, right? And half of the population in Kilkenny is black?! The only people who would fall for this shit are those who haven't watched the movie and aren't aware of who you really are! Seriously, you think this shit is gonna get Wolfwalkers an Oscar? If anything, you're butchering the movie from winning it at all! Don't be surprised when your 'efforts' cause the movie to not be nominated at all! And I haven't even mentioned the fact that you went as far as to accuse Disney and Pixar of cheating and submitted false evidence to try and get them to lose! They won it fair and square, and there was no evidence of them cheating! What the fuck is your problem?! And as for that John Lasseter line, what does it have to do with anything? He's clearly sorry for it and is trying to improve from it. Just leave him alone! And once again, YTA" - PinkySuxxx77

AITA for refusing to buy my younger brother Pokémon SWSH because I believe it didn’t deserve a good reception?
For this one, my brother Larson wanted Pokémon Sword and Shield for his birthday. Dad insisted I buy it, but I told him a flat out no.

I can afford the games, but hear me out: The reason was because I do not like the direction Game Freak (the developer) is heading. The game cut over 500 Pokémon and you need to pay to have more Pokémon in the game as “DLC”, it requires a paywall for transferring, the game doesn’t look very good, the graphics are bad, they made the difficulty too easy for a child, there’s no postgame whatsoever, and the villains were bad.

I tried to explain to my father that I wouldn’t buy the game and insist he don’t buy it either. I’m not having my brother being exposed to a bad game because I don’t believe it doesn’t deserve a good reception.

I believe I’m doing what’s best for Larson. I love Pokémon too, but I don’t want him being exposed to how cheap this game is for its price.

So, AITA?

"YTA. Seriously, Hope? A week earlier, you said that you would get your siblings any video games as long as it was appropriate for their age, and you go and do this? SWSH is actually pretty good, despite what those BBND freaks would say, and it's actually one of their best games in a while. Just get Larson the game." - VixxieMickey932

"NTA. SWSH sucks for getting rid of half the Pokémon! Show them much better games instead!" - SWSHSucks@$$

AITA for not forgiving Dream for cheating?
Hey everyone. So just recently, Dream posted a Pastebin on Twitter where he admits to cheating and saying him acting immature was wrong.

I like Dream, but I knew he was cheating with his streams given the evidence provided by the mods, and the fact that he waited until NOW to apologize was ridiculous. I decided to express this by saying this:

''No, Dream. I'm still not forgiving you. If you truly wanted to be accepted, you need to do the records cleanly and give a formal apology to the mods that you and your stan fans attacked for just doing their job.''

I ended up getting huge backlash from his stan fans saying that's I'm an "asswipe" and that the mods deserve hate for removing all of his records. I also had someone spam my tweets with gory images. Thankfully that user was banned and all of the images were deleted.

Comments
"NTA. I don't blame you for not forgiving Dream. He let his stan fans attack the mods, hired a fake astrophysics to make up some dumb statistics, and even called the mods 'clout-chasers', only to make an apology NOW?!?! Not to mention that he probably deleted his apology after the controversy and claimed that Pastebin deleted it themselves. I know guests can't delete their own pastes, but that's still fishy for him to delete the tweet aswell." - AntiDreamStan302

AITA for refusing to defend my incel friend after she assaulted my sister and said a racial slur to my part-Mexican friend?
For this one, I had a friend in middle school named Abby. Abby was a strange girl, as she was the quiet girl in school, wore a trenchcoat, and would spend lunchtime alone. I tried to cheer her up, but she was either ignoring me or trying to get me to listen to some metal and punk. I told her I only liked a certain amount of metal and that I hated black/death metal and hardcore punk, but she never listened.

It was around this time that she began to harass a boy (let's call him Ricky). Ricky told the principle that Abby had followed him to his house and tried to get him to have sex. His parents got a restraining order from her and told her that if she did it again, they would have her arrested for harassment. This was a major red flag and I should've left her there, but I wanted to give her another chance and gave her some mentoring about love and relations like she was my sister. That didn't exactly work out, and she eventually just ignored me all together.

We would meet again earlier this year where I came across her while at Burger King. She was still wearing the same trenchcoat she had in middle school, and stunk. I told her she can come to my house to hang out under the condition that she showered. She said yes, and the next day, I took her to my place where she was introduced to my family.

Now, me and Valentin wanted to watch the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for our movie night, but the troublemakers wanted to watch the 1997 film "Johnny Mysto: Boy Wizard", which I didn't want to watch because it has a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes. We ultimately let Abby decide, and she chose the latter movie. I was reluctant, but decided to put on the movie for her. About 30 minutes into the movie, she excused herself to use the bathroom. She was gone for a while, so I went to go check on her when I found her in Tyson's room sniffing his underwear!

I confronted her about this, and she tried to assure me that she wasn't a pedo and that she was pretending that the undies were from the men in the porn she watched. I didn't buy it, and told her she needed to leave. Tyson was also disgusted by her, and told her he was gonna force her to like Howard the Duck as punishment. I can't exactly blame him.

But that wasn't the final straw. The final straw was when I was going to my friend Kyle's house because Kyle had bought a first press vinyl to Led Zeppelin's self-titled debut and I wanted to check it out. When I came to his house, I saw Abby beating up my sister Kim! I broke up the fight and asked what was going on.

Abby: YOUR SISTER IS A WHORE WHO WAS SLEEPING WITH KYLE!!! KIM, KYLE IS MINE AND MINE ONLY!!! AND IF I CATCH YOU WITH HIM AGAIN, I WILL PRICK OUT YOUR EYELASHES!!!

She then took her anger out on Kyle and called him a "s**c", which offended him since he was part Mexican. I had enough, and I slapped her and said this:

Hope: Abby, I am sick and tired of this! You have been acting like this ever since we met in middle school, and I've been trying to help you during this time! But now, I have had it! Get out of my face right now, because I am officially cutting all ties with you!

Abby flipped the bird at me and left. Since the incident, she and her friends have attacked my social media accounts and called me all sorts of names for "bullying an innocent little girl". Uh, she was sniffing Tyson's underwear, and he's only 15!

Comments
"NTA. I'm honestly surprised you stuck with her for that long. I would've ditched her when she stalked Ricky!" - MickaRicka0932

"NTA. Me and my gang have dealt with these shitheads before, and they're not the best people to have to say the least. She kinda reminded me of Will." - MariaTachimi1981

"Hey everyone. I'm Hope, and I'm here to update you all that Abby has just been arrested for attempting to kidnap a child. I don't know much of the details on that one, but I won't be surprised if she was trying to kidnap him to satisfy her pedophilic dreams!" - BobDylanYesBurzumNo

"Holy fuck... I hope this arrest gives her a wakeup call." - YoKooda34

AITA for trying to get Elizabeth "Savage" Forever to delete an inappropriate fanfic about me, then filing a DMCA notice on it when she refused?
For this one, I was listening to a vinyl copy of Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" that I had just bought. While I don't like a lot of punk music, Joy Division is a good band and has one of my favorite punk releases. Valentin then came in my room.

Valentin: Um, Hope, you might wanna check this out...

He then showed me a fanfic he found from Wattpad called "Hope Plank sent to a mental institution". It was a fanfic where I got sent to a mental institution for constantly trying to police the kids about the kinds of movies and music that can and can't like. The fanfic was written horribly, and it was pure slander!

I did some research and found that it was written by a woman named Elizabeth "Savage" Forever. Elizabeth is known for being against abusive people and especially abusive parents. I don't mind her hating on abusive people, but she takes that hatred too far! She uses techniques like the Abuser Chute and Anti-Abuse Boat Ride to name a few, where the abusers are tortured and sometimes killed! Reicheru in particular has said that she is hardly heroic and no better than the abusive parents she targets.

So I contacted her asking politely to remove the fanfic. That's when she responded to me with this:

''How about no?! You keep on forcing your own opinions down people's throat and act like you have the final say in good/bad movies/music, and me and so many others have gotten sick and tired of it! Remember when you sold your younger brother's NIN albums because you thought he would become a Columbiner and shoot up the school? Or how about when you destroyed a Deicide CD that Lei got from a now-deceased friend, ending your relationship with him and his friends for good? You are an absolute maniac and psycho, and I want people to know that! So no, I'm not gonna take it down! Screw off, butthole!''

Enraged, I filed a DMCA notice and Wattpad had no choice but to take it down. Elizabeth has since flipped her crap on me and threatened to take me straight into the Hypnosis Chamber when she sees me.

Comments
"YTA. While I personally don't like Elizabeth, you had no right to file a false DMCA notice. You do realize that can get you imprisoned, right?!" - JerryBerry485

"NTA. Elizabeth is always trying to get to the moral high ground, even if it involves abusing innocent people. She's pretty much a monster fighting monsters, and is just as bad, if not worse, than the abusers she goes after. It's good to see her get a taste of her own medicine." - WeedyQueenFan96

AITA for mocking Joey Jordison's death?
Okay, before you maggots jump into conclusions and cuss me out, let me explain.

If you know me, you'd know that I've never been a fan of most nu metal bands. I'm fine with some of the more down-to-earth and alternative-leaning bands like Deftones, System of a Down, and Linkin Park. It's some of the more fad-like and cringy bands like Limp Bizkit and Slipknot that I hate. Slipknot in particular remains one of my least favorite band along with black/death metal, Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, and The Shaggs. Slipknot is nothing more than a super edgy band that only appeals the angsty teens, mallcore goths, and wannabe tough guys.

Now, on July 26, the drummer of the band Joey Jordison was found dead in his sleep. He died the same day as Mike Howe from Metal Church, a metal band I do like. Now I know that a musician passing away is tragic and all, and that Joey had some problems with drugs and alcohol in the past, but I decided to try and lighten up the mood with this comment on Twitter:

"Lol, too bad Joey's Transverse Myelitis got in the way. Was it upset that he was sober for too long?"

I thought the comment was not that bad, but I got absolutely flamed on Twitter for that comment. Some people even went as far as to compare me to Princess Starlight for it. Even my dad and husband Chuck thought I went too far and told me I needed to delete the tweet and apologize. Now, I didn't delete the tweet nor issue an apology, as I was just joking around. If you're gonna get that upset over a joke, then get off the Internet and enjoy life a little.

Comments
"Y. T. A. Hope, I thought I've seen everything from you. Selling your younger sibling's Nine Inch Nails CDs, destroying Lei's Deicide CD, and having a mental breakdown because Disney was gonna win an Oscar and not Cartoon Saloon. However, THIS is easily  THE WORST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE . Why the fuck would you post that tweet to begin with?! You know damn well that Joey's family, friends, bandmates, and fans are currently mourning for the loss of one of the best damn drummers in the 21st century. Not only did you mock his death, but you also mocked the disease that he was suffering from! And then to downplay it as a joke, refuse to take it down when Valentin and Chuck said so, and even tell those who got reasonably upset over it to 'get off the Internet and enjoy life a little'? You know, I would be amazed if you still have any defenders after this. I'm shocked by the fact that you asked this in an AITA format in the hopes that someone would say 'NTA'. Well guess what? This is one of the worst AITA stories I've ever read, and this is no doubt an YTA moment! So fuck you, Hope Plank, because I am officially done with you!" - ParabellumZombie336

"YTA. I swear to fuck, Hope, you're just giving people more reasons to hate you. And ParabellumZombie summarized everyone's thoughts on this pretty well. Your family needs to give you an intervention or something, because one of these days, even your die-hard defenders are gonna have to put their foot down." - ShalolUgali84

AITA for smashing Graveland CDs in front of Rob Darken?
Man, has it been a while since I've updated this post. The last time I came here, I got a lot of crap for my mocking of Joey Jordison. It got to a point where my family held an intervention against me! Oh well, I'm hoping to at least have some people take my side on this one.

Now, this band I'm dealing with is Graveland. The band is infamous for being connected to the NSBM scene, and their lead vocalist Rob Darken has made a bunch of white nationalist statements and is against race mixing, as well as working with a white supremacist named Capricornus. Germany also banned the albums Following the Voice of Blood, Immortal Pride, In the Glare of Burning Churches, The Celtic Winter, Blood of Heroes and Dawn of Iron Blades from being sold in the country, and the state police raided the No Colours Records building to confiscate some illegal Graveland CDs. Blood of Heroes in particular had a swastika and Celtic cross on some of its copies, and those copies were blacklisted on Discogs.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the six troublemakers have also gotten into their crappy music. They claim that they don't endorse the NS beliefs and that they think the music "kicks ass", but I know they're one step away from joining a white power group or something, and they clearly haven't learned from that Aryan Blood incident!

When Graveland came in my area to play, I decided to teach the band members and especially Rob Darken a lesson by sneaking into the concert, going backstage, and doing something horrible to their albums! I was carrying the CDs to In the Glare of Burning Churches, The Celtic Winter, Carpathian Wolves, Thousand Swords, Following the Voice of Blood, Immortal Pride, Creed of Iron, Memory and Destiny, The Fire of Awakening, Dawn of Iron Blades, Will Stronger than Death, and more.

Rob Darken: Excuse me, m'am, but you're not suppose to be-

Me: SHUT THE HELL UP!!! You wanna indoctrinate my younger siblings with your shitty music? Well take this!

I then grabbed a hammer I was carrying and proceeded to smash the CDs in front of him!

Rob Darken: What the hell do you think you're doing?

Me: Showing you that Hawaii isn't gonna stand with your fascism! Now fuck off, Rob Farten!

He called security and I got kicked out of the concert and banned from their future events. Since that incident, however, a lot of his fans have attacked me for that incident and stated that it didn't teach him nothing, as well as site an example of him denouncing the Third Reich and playing live in Mexico.

Comments
"YTA. Hope, you're getting absolutely pathetic at this point. The fact that you still have your Karens and Moral Guardians defending you is beyond me! How have you not been officially cancelled at this point? Did that intervention teach you anything at all? What alternative universe do you live in that allows this shit? Just stop now, because things are only gonna get worse for you from there." - MaryGoldmannRulzz349

"NTA. Graveland is a shitty NSBM band, and Rob Darken is an ass! You did the right thing smashing his beloved albums in front of him!" - StompingOutNazis250

AITA for filing a restraining order against Elizabeth "Savage" Forever after she tried to take me to a mental hospital against my will?
If you've seen my previous AITA stories before, you may be aware of Elizabeth "Savage" Forever. Last time I talked about her, she wrote an inappropriate fanfic about me and refused to take it down, and it got to a point where I had to file a DMCA notice so Wattpad could take it down. But this time, Elizabeth went way too far.

Now, she came to visit the family as a way to start off a "Revisited Again" special on Supernanny. However, she immedietly began berating me for "abusing" my siblings because I was controlling them on what they can and can't watch and listen to. I defended myself by saying that what I was doing was not child abuse. I also confronted her about her holier-than-thou Moral Guardian-esque attitude and how she's not much of a savior as she think she is.

Elizabeth: HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!!! THAT IS IT!!!

Before I knew it, she grabbed me by the hand and was dragging me out of the house!

Me: Let go of me! What do you think you're doing?!

Elizabeth: I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU TO A MENTAL HOSPITAL!!! MAYBE THEN YOU'LL STOP ABUSING YOUR KIDS WITH YOUR STRICT TASTES IN MOVIES AND MUSIC!!!

I tried to get out of her grip, but she held my hand really tightly. She was about to take me in her car when Valentin shoved her away. She then tried to punch Valentin, but he blocked it.

Valentin: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!

Elizabeth: NEVER!!! FUCK OFF AND LET ME PUNISH HER!!!

Elizabeth didn't bother to leave until we called the police. The next day, me, as well as the rest of the family, filed a restraining order against Elizabeth. She isn't allowed to be 500 feet near us. To this day, however, Elizabeth still insists that she was just doing what was best for me and the family and denied trying to assault Valentin.

AITA for shaming a guy for being in love with Roxanne Wolf from FNAF: Security Breach?
Lately, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach has been getting a lot of buzz since it is the newest game in the franchise as well as being one of the biggest and most anticipated FNAF games to date. However, I ban my younger siblings from playing FNAF because it is too scary with all of its jumpscares, as well as having a horrible fanbase!

Now, for this story, me and my family were eating at Pizza Hut when this guy who looked to be in his mid-40s sat next to us. He was obese, and came with his mother. He also wore a shirt for the glam metal band Winger, a band we do not like, and it the mist of it all, he was carrying what looked like to be a body pillow of Roxanne Wolf!

Me: Don't look that way, kids. I think this guy is crazy.

Then, the guy started talking.

Guy: Look, Roxanne, it's your favorite: Pizza! I love you so much, that I will be paying for your food as well as my mom's!

Guy's Mom: Jordan, can you stop talking to your pillow and eat your damn food already?!

Jordan: Mom, we've already talked about this! She's my girlfriend!

Now, if Jordan's mom is to be believed, he has autism, and has a hard time communicating with others besides his family. Not that I think autistic people are stupid or anything, but this guy was creeping us out!

Me: Excuse me, but can you guys please move to another table? How can you be obsessed with a killer animatronic who is a narcassist and is very cold to Gregory?!

Jordan: HEY! SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL GREGORY! If anything, HE was the jerk! That scene where he attacked Roxy with the go-kart, teared out her eyes, and made her chase him without them was one of the saddest scenes I've ever seen! Poor Roxy was in pain and suffering and he didn't put her out of her misery!

Tyson: Geez, man, you have some serious issues!

Jordan's Mom: But he has high-functioning autism!

Blake: That doesn't make it any better!

Brooke: And what's with that Winger shirt?

Jordan: It's my favorite band as well as Roxanne's! One of our most romantic moments was when we looked at the stars while blasting "Headed For A Heartbreak" by Winger. It was so great, we kissed!

Me: Wow! That is so messed up! How are you not in a mental hospital already?

That's when I got out my phone and started recording him.

Me: Look everyone! This freak is in love with Roxanne Wolf from FNAF and is a Winger fan!

Jordan: HEY! I DIDN'T CONSENT TO THIS!

Valentin: Hope, cut it out right now! This is getting out of hand!

Me: No! I want everyone to see how much of an ass he is!

Jordan cried while hugging his pathetic body pillow and his mom had to leave with the food. I caught the entire thing and posted it on r/Cringetopia, which got up to 20K upvotes. Valentin said he was shocked at my behavior, and said shaming him like that was uncalled for. Chuck also told me to delete the post, but I didn't.

Comments
"Oh my god... Hope... why? That's really all I can say right now. Why? Why do you do the things you do? Yes, this guy having a Roxanne Wolf body pillow and being all obsessed with her is a bit creepy, but HE IS AUTISTIC!!! Just because someone has autism doesn't make them a 'freak'. You don't know how he is. What if that body pillow is the only thing that gives him happiness? I feel so bad for the mother, because she probably has to deal with this on a daily basis! And I can say that as a mother who has a daughter with low-functioning autism. It is hard work, and the fact that you think it's okay to treat him like that is absolutely INSANE!!! And I haven't even mentioned the part where you shamed him on r/Cringetopia, which is one of the worst sub-Reddits I've ever seen. They shame fat people, SJWs, disabled people, and kids! And all for what? At least Valentin and Chuck have the decency to call you out for it. But you don't listen to them ever, because you think you're in the right! And you know what the worst part is? This alone will get me to heavily dislike you, but this is the  FUCKING CHERRY ON TOP  with everything you've done! Selling your younger brother's NIN albums, tried to stop Xiu-mei from watching Ponyo because you hate it that much, smash Lei's Deicide CD for no reason whatsoever other than the fact that you wanna provoke his sociopathy, as well as having the AUDACITY to try and apologize for it with cake, your Wolfwalkers meltdown that had me seriously question your sanity, mocking Joey Jordison's death to piss off the Slipknot fans, smash Graveland albums in front of Rob Darken to try and piss him off, and now this? To anyone who is still defending Hope, may I ask why? Why would you want to defend a woman who shows time and time again to not change? She will NEVER change! I would be amazed if she even reads all of this at all! But if you are reading this, Hope, then I would like to say that I am officially done with you. I am cutting all ties from you, I am unsubscribing you from all social media, and I am giving this post an YTA, because you, m'am, ARE the asshole." - Mastodam4952
