#…a genocide on another group of people

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

I’m sorry but you can’t cry “human rights violation!!!!” when you are actively carrying out a campaign of genocide.

No matter how much trauma you have experienced, you never have the right to inflict that trauma on others.

Having self worth issues about the stupidest shit possible so lets focus instead on my courgette plants that are now FLOWERING

Me, after repeatedly seeing the Life is Strange fandom referring to the destruction of Arcadia Bay as a "genocide":

The Oxford dictionary defines genocide as "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group"

For starters, Max didn't deliberately kill anyone. She can potentially choose not to save Arcadia Bay from the storm, but she never intended for all those people to die.

And her aim was to save Chloe, not to kill the citizens of Arcadia Bay. The latter was an unfortunate consequence of the former, the result of Max being forced into a cruel, impossible choice.

Also, while I'm at it, let's be fucking clear here. It's easy for us to look at the choice objectively, to just see it as sacrificing one person to save hundreds more, but we're not the ones having to make that choice in-universe, and it's probably fair to say that choice becomes much more difficult when the person you have to potentially sacrifice is your closest friend.

As much as I love Owl House and as much as I wanna say it was soully homophobia that got it cancelled I think Dana choosing to make a story about "fuck the colonists" was a pretty fucking close second

not my online friend trying to have the "not all zionists" conversation with me rn

[eclipsecrowned]

what's y'alls weird fandom red flag? what apparently innocuous or normal statement raises your hackles to high heaven? i just saw someone no irony whatsoever say developers did not intend a game with multiple branching arcs to have players go through each storyline, and instead have a 'different experience' between each player and the one route of four (five with DLC!) they choose. to defend their favorite route having no closure/catharsis/lore.

anyway three posts later i found the apologia blaming everyone but their fav faction for the genocide they actively carried out pre-canon.

Your tags on the post telling Biden voters to keep Palestine out of their mouths are so incredibly rude; you're doing exactly what they said not to. Saying that they aren't looking at the bigger picture? Trying to explain how voting works like everyone but you is an idiot?

It's clear the genocide and brutalization of tens of thousands doesn't mean shit to you. How selfish can you be. If you don't care about Palestine, at least have the dignity to not go onto posts like that to tell everyone you think you're more important than them.

fun fact. When someone puts something in tags. You don’t have to read them. Anyways,

Is it selfish to care about every life, and not just one group? my brother in christ I wasnt explaining things like I thought they were stupid, because then I would have CALLED them stupid. I was making a point that yes, there are so many better fucking options and I fully support. but there are also risks to them and that THAT is why people struggle with this fucking decision. Because there’s fucking nuance.

You are painting an image of me in your head that makes you mad because you want people to be mad at. You want people you can point at and cry wolf when it’s nothing more than a dog.

Putting the rest under a read more because the people who don’t give a fuck and decide that they prefer being only reactive, don’t even have to bother reading what I’m saying, they can just go ahead and block me right goddamn now. Because I’m not here to appease people and I won’t pretend I am.

I do care about Palestine. An incredible amount, actually. And I also happen to care about the citizens of my own country and other countries alongside it. And I was sharing my thoughts on a matter that can have far larger consequences than we’re fucking considering.

You are the person who cannot see the bigger picture because you think that just because people are drowning in an ocean, we shouldn’t also try to prevent and help people who are drowning in what comparatively might be a kiddie pool.

They are all drowning regardless, and I am of the belief that harm of any kind, not just one specific situation, should not happen at all.

Also, if you read the tags so thoroughly like you think you did,

you would have seen the part that says you can just block & ignore me if you didn’t like what I was saying.

and if you take such large issue with what I say, then you should’ve taken your ass off anon because this could’ve been just between me and you. But now it’s gonna be between everyone who sees it, because while I know not to feed the trolls, this troll has made me think that maybe I need to directly fucking say what I think should be fucking said.

if you refuse to comprehend what I say that is on you. If you get mad because of that, it is on you. If you continue to respond only REACTIVELY and not PROACTIVELY, that. Is on. You.
