Ugh.
Sometimes I remember that Bad Batch gave us this badass Black woman who was a liberator of ancient wonders and was like Indiana Jones but fucking cooler and witty, charming, and FUN and so so so nice and caring and understanding and she befriended the Bad Batch and gave them a safe place in the galaxy to call home and then made her the love interest of the heavily autistic coded white-washed Maori man and thus made them an interracial couple
AND THEN-
they killed off Tech and then used Phee as an uber driver for s3 and didn't give her any closure or anything for his death.

"I'm team feminist/feminism!" But will quickly drag a female character through the mud without sympathy for their circumstances just because they don't fit your ideals, will get mad when poc criticize a female character's actions that are very thinly coded in racism and say "support her crimes!" while ignoring how that often leads to the harm of poc characters, will shade woc characters or put them on higher pedestals than their yte counterparts while ignoring the harm they face while trying to meet your standards, will victim blame those who suffer (and are still suffering) from abuse when they act out in ways you deem "wrong" because of it, following up with the last point will mock and laugh at said abuse to uplift another female character (pitting women against women, even when the narrative does not ask for that), will dismiss any valuable argument displayed if the said female character is a little mean but then go and say "why can't female characters be mean? 🙄"
I could go on.

“The woman dies.
She dies to provide a plot twist. She dies to develop the narrative. She dies for cathartic effect. She dies because no one could think of what else to do with her. Dies because there weren’t any better story ideas around. Dies because her death was the very best idea that anyone could come up with.
‘I’ve got it! Let’s kill her off!’
‘Yes! Her death will solve everything!’
‘Okay! Let’s hit the pub!’
And so, the woman dies. The woman dies so the man can be sad about it. The woman dies so the man can suffer. She dies to give him a destiny. Dies so he can fall to the dark side. Dies so he can lament her death. As he stands there, brimming with grief, brimming with life, the woman lies there in silence. The woman dies for him. We watch it happen. We read about it happening. We come to know it well.”
- The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda (translated by Polly Barton)

hey psst c'mere... no a little closer... a little closer- there we go
Loop lips are part of a racist caricature of Black people. Stop drawing Black characters with loop lips. I don't care how they look in canon, it's racist.
okay that's all you can go
#one piece#usopp#goes for other black characters too but this is the one that comes to mind rn.#not gonna get into other shit like 'lightening their skin to make them look prettier teehee'#or 'but they look better with wavy/straight hair!¡!!' or any of the number of other stuff ive seen#bc like. im not even sure folks can handle this one simple thing lmao#many people are great about this but theres still quite a few who are ass#'um! well the creator did it this way and i like him! and he did it on his white characters too!' dont give a shit.#stop drawing racist caricatures. i like op too but im not riding that guy's dick and twisting myaelf in knots trying to justify all his BS#we can agree he's bad at drawing women and he fumbles how he handles queer characters (sometimes. this is mostly referring to momoiro)#but you can't listen to folks who are constantly saying 'hey this is a racist depiction of black people. please dont draw like that'#like???#im gonna keep it 100 with you guys. i love one piece. its got me through some dark times. ive loved it for a long long time#i dont expect the creator to ever give me the time of day#but english fandom? english fandom i can change. and english fandom i can hold to a BARE MINIMUM standard of 'dont be racist'#and yet i still get disappointed. far more often than i should.#ignorance is one thing but the people who DOUBLE DOWN are the worst#thanks for telling me you prioritize your comfort over not being wildly offensive to me and people like me#idfk where i was going with this im just so goddamn tired#if u wanna know more about what im talking about in the post just look up the wiki for minstrel shows & jim crow

It's so funny people acting like they have unique taste or they're special for simping over The Ghoul as if he isn't the most popular brand of white man out there.

i wonder if white people specifically white progressives realise that black people are only ever seen as their skin color first and foremost
#this goes for all poc but im talking about black people here#black people are constantly connected to their skin color and tone in good ways and in not good ways#people will always see you as your race first because white is considered the default#like if someone wanted to insult me the first thing they would go for is my race or gender presentation#whenever an actor is cast for a role people see the fact that they are black before anything else - talent. style. etc is ignored#black people are othered in society to put it bluntly . that is why white people get so upset when black people are cast as any role#or when they uuuuuh you know exist#and if the other becomes the majority - say a movie with mostly black people or a black-exclusive setting#then white people will get uncomfortable and complain#maybe the way i explained it is weird idk im not good at explaining#what im trying to say is that blackness is not something you can hide unless you are able to pass as white/are biracial etc.#and so the many stereotypes about black people are what people see first#what i'm trying to get at is that the way people percive black people completely changes our experiences esp if we're queer or women#a white and visibly queer person will have a different experience than a black and visibly queer person#and white progressives often forget that#sorry if this was explained weird im not a good explainer and also some bad shit happened today so my head is not really in the game#do people even say that god#whatever man

Beatitudes for the prophets who move our churches towards truer welcome
Blessed are you who make a way out of no way: who pioneer a path for those of God’s children who’ve been told they don’t belong in the pews, in the pulpit, or in holy bonds of marriage.
Blessed are you when you come in bold and disruptive, flipping the tables that make no room for you; And blessed when you work behind the scenes, change rippling out from constant conversation —
For we we need both: the Spirit of roaring flame, and gentle rain.
Blessed are you when your voice shakes and you speak out anyway.
Blessed are you in patience, persistence, and grace; Blessed also are you in frustration and righteous rage
For the psalmist joins you in crying, “God, how long?”
Blessed are you who endure judgment and scrutiny from people who are meant to be neighbors in the Body of Christ
For the peacemaker’s crown, the friendship of God is yours.
Blessed are you when you tire, and burn out, and wrestle with despair
For rest is your right, and others will take up your fight as long as you need.
And when ignorant tongues defame you, when they twist your words and accuse you of being the divisive one, when they try to shut you up and drive you out
Blessed, blessed are you!
For you belong to an unbroken line of prophets stretching back to the cross and forward to a feast laid out for all.
Yes! Blessed are you when “blessed” is the last thing you feel — you who fight the good fight even when it seems hopeless, even when you lose, again and again, even if you will not be around when the drought on justice ends and the fruits of your labor bloom into life at last
For future generations will remember you with pride.
For no matter how it looks right now, your efforts are never in vain.
For you are part of what makes Church worth fighting for, and what you sowed in sweat and tears, tomorrow’s children reap rejoicing.
Blessed are you, for yours is the kin-dom you are helping to build, one brave truth at a time.

my major problem with fanon Hob is that he's treated as universal. which a) is impossible, nothing is actually universal, there is no singular Human Experience, and b) the text (show and comix) doesn't consider him a universal. he's an anomaly in his irrepressible desire to live. he's a foil for Dream. he's one of an unspecified number of immortals who occasionally cross paths with the Endless. he's not an Everyman, he's very much the product of the world around him (which changes with time but also doesn't - a white man in an established British empire holds a certain degree of power/liberty across centuries). why does whiteness = universality? why does whiteness = Human?

Love, I fully understand you and your disinterest in watching rwrb as a queer woman when I, myself was like "nah I won't be watching I could give 2 fucks about this" upon first look. but they're not both white boys. I've seen multiple people say this dismissively without realizing one of them is half mexican and a lot of the story makes point to recognize this. and not that you shouldn't demand more diversity but sometimes getting to see queer love in media no matter the shade or the sex of the two people involved is powerful and beautiful. your followers must think highly of your opinion and are offended that you've turned your nose up to this one. I'm not trying to convince you to watch something you're not interested in but came in here just to say I felt the same way as you initially and found that it was actually worth the watch. bummer that you've been turned off by the hype amongst other things.
um, if my followers are offended bc I've "turned up my nose" (lmao?) at rwrb, they're free to unfollow. I'm not holding them hostage. it's not the first piece of media I've dismissed and it certainly won't be the last
secondly, I'm a gay woman and I'm at the point where I really can't be bothered to watch shows/movies focused solely on men (gay or otherwise), even if they have that token woman in the cast to add some spice. my tolerance is going down (unless it's a special case, and a monarchist movie is Not one of those special cases). you can't see me rn but I'm shrugging my shoulders in an "oh well" fashion

It’s always been and will continue to be the loudest and biggest and sincere Fuck you @Drake, your a punk biiiitch for calling her a liar
Tumblr media
Me @ Society, pick mes, nigcels, industry men, men in general , 50 Cent , Drake , Joe Budden, DJ Akademiks and lil duval , gossip bloggers spreading lies and even Zach Campbell, dababy and lebron James for calling meg a liar about being shot by that little demon
Tumblr media
Meg really did try very hard not to say anything publicly but Tory would not leave her alone and now he facing deportation In other words Tory fucked his own life up. Sings in @kellyclarkson Some people wait a lifetime for a downfall like this
she literally tried to protect him from the police at first despite what he did to her. she was literally willing to let it go and try to move on, and that Canadian cuntery repaid her by making her go through undeserved trauma… this that type of 💩that ends up on “snapped”

i'm still thinking about how i went to an event specifically geared towards BIPOC folks to learn skills related to this hobby i'm getting started in and one of the other queer folks showed up with their white partner
they weren't overtly offensive or anything but they didn't mingle with the rest of the group and that made it super weird. everyone else was just talking to each other, sharing food, sharing equipment, and generally mingling.
and as someone who dated a white girl, i have to say it: some places and spaces aren't for your white partner. thankful to know that the white girl i did date would not have felt inclined to be in space carved out specifically to help get non-white folks into a very historically white hobby.
