yes but the problem is

the raunchy humor

isn't. good.

you want raunchy? watch john waters. that shit would send vivziepop into spasms

I think people who hate hazbin hotel/helluva boss are so funny because they just sound so..... like oh nooooo the silly cartoon uses too many swears and talks about sex too much! Should we call mommy? You gonna tattle?

Family guy isn’t great either

It’s like the cartoon equivalent of that one bag of stale tortilla chips in your pantry that you eat because you’re not hungry but you want a snack, and then you eat these and you’re like “I don’t even like these that much, there’s not even that much salt” but then you keep eating them and then you’ve finished half the bag and feel absolutely horrible and oddly hollow and malnourished

Stuff like guerilla gardening, stickering, wheatpasting, lifting, graffiti, pothole-filling and other minor illegal acts aren’t only important for their primary effects, but because disobeying your capitalist programming helps break down the internalized worldview that comes with it

You start seeing society as it is: a collection of flawed, limited, man-made institutions that can be ignored, reshaped, or abolished. You see your environment as something that you’re free to improve and beautify. You see items on shelves as common property which is unjustly hoarded and guarded. You see cops as violent oppressors upholding the unfair demands of the ruling class - but you also see them as human, able to be avoided, fooled, and fought

Practice illegalism daily to see past the smoke and mirrors that make it look like the way things are is the way they must be. A better world is possible

See I think there’s a disconnect there

There’s a difference between a tv show swearing occasionally simply because it’s natural or thematically important or fits a character or even for humor

And a tv show who bases its entire comedic identity around “cartoon characters saying fuck every 2 seconds”

It’s annoying. You quickly get tired of it

And it lessens the quality of the art

But regardless hazbin is not worth caring about

I think people who hate hazbin hotel/helluva boss are so funny because they just sound so..... like oh nooooo the silly cartoon uses too many swears and talks about sex too much! Should we call mommy? You gonna tattle?

[baroquepopcorn]

You’re right, but I think the complaining about swearing thing is more that the excessive swearing makes the show More Juvenile

In the same way an ‘edgy’ new grounds cartoon that says fuck and a bunch of elaborate sexual insults every three seconds is juvenile

It makes it hard to sit through, not because it’s offensive, but because it’s cringe in the way edgy 13 year olds are cringe

Shoutout to the two coworkers today who casually announced that they were voting for Trump, then asked me who I was voting for. I told them "I did early voting, and I voted for the candidate who isn't going to make it harder for me to exist as a trans person" and both of these women had to awkwardly try and assure me that it wasn't personal, and it's not like they hated Harris or anything, they actually do like some things about her, and they definitely don't hate me, of course not, it's just that, you know, well, it's like, well, you know, it's just, like, and no matter how many times they tried to pass the shovel off to me, I just let them hold onto it

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

[baroquepopcorn]

I really do think an important component of activism is to make sure your motivation is based on a desire to help/improve things for the people being harmed by a system, and not hatred for the ones doing the harm. both for mental health reasons, and because either way you're training your neural pathways and it's gonna turn out a lot better for literally everyone if the question on everyone's mind after achieving a goal is "how/which people can we help next, what's the next step for improving things" and not "who do we need to attack next."

I'm not saying don't be angry, there are a lot of good reasons to be angry right now and it makes for an excellent kick in the pants, just don't define yourself by it or it's gonna poison you and potentially do collateral damage.

Just thought to myself "can't women have a bad time in fiction without rape being involved" which really shows you how much you're in the fucking trenches if you are both a horror fan and women fan

The most traumatizing time of the year for natives starts soon so I wanted to get ahead of all that by making this post.

"I don't celebrate Thanksgiving I just show up for the food"

Oh...so you show up to gather around food that's been prepared for the community and pretend to hate it.

When several genocides are happening and people are losing family left and right and couldn't gather around a meal if they wanted to because no food can be found and food isn't being ALLOWED into where they are...

Your "allyship" as a settler is showing up to eat too much food around your family WHICH IS STILL ALIVE and loudly pretending to hate the entire concept of it...from a house built on stolen land?

Do you hear how tone deaf that sounds?

So Im asking y'all to NOT act like colonizers this year. Can this autumn NOT be traumatizing for natives PLEASE.

Nobody wants to see your Thanksgiving plate pictures, I promise. Especially not this year.

Anyway, here are important days and dates for you to know.

Orange Shirt Day is September 30

Indigenous People's Day in the USA is October 14

Native American Heritage Month starts November 1st

National Day of Mourning is November 28

A great way to spend all of these days rather than being performative and ineffective is to:

Learn about them and how to pay your respects on each day. Like wearing an orange shirt on orange shirt day.

Learn about landback

Stand in solidarity with native tribes and other people around the globe fighting U.S imperialism by taking a stand against the harmful political beliefs your family & friends hold

Learn about native treaties, blood quantum, & how reservations are "managed"

Buy things from natives!! Native jewelery and art is gorgeous!

Donate to natives!! We've faced generations of oppression (look up when natives could vote/became citizens) where we were gatekept from generational wealth so lots of us live in poverty since most of us have been displaced (either historically or in modern times) from our traditional homes or otherwise forced from our way of living

Where you sit to eat on National Mourning Day is LITERALLY your seat at the proverbial colonizer's table, it's a seat that NO indigenous people will ever be invited to. The conversations at that table are conversations ONLY settlers can have. So make them count

I'm not asking you to pick a gunfight with your racist uncle for allyship, but being uncomfortable and making other settlers uncomfortable in their identity as settlers is the LEAST you can do.

Don't eat the food they made. Consider looking up the rations and such native tribes and global indigenous people will be forced to eat the same day and eat that in front of your family. Powdered milk, bread, bologna, maybe an old fruit or limp salad. You'll be fine eating it for a single meal, I assure you.

Alternatively consider setting up a seat and plate of food as an offering. Let it be a symbol of respect, regret, and thanks to the natives that died so your family had a place to live & eat. Give those natives some of the space stolen.

Learn about the tribes near you; the good (like games, art, and beliefs) and the bad (like how they specifically were impacted by colonization).

See if they have a website and go through it, donate to the tribe if you can and/or learn how to support them and speak up. My local tribes for example are deeply focused on restoring salmon and tearing down harmful dams so spreading awareness about that locally is very important to me!!

Harbor your own relationship to the land. Learn to appreciate it's gifts (fruit, seeds, air, the way the earth supports your home, rain to sustain life, etc) and research how you can return the favor and show gratitude. Become an ally in the global fight against colonization that seeks to harm, monopolize, and capitalize on the earth to the detriment of people worldwide.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

Sometimes people will hate a parent-type character in a way that's so far from actual canon that you can tell it's not the character they really hate but Their Dad from Real Life. Which is fair but really annoying when you're trying to post about The Character
