#AND NO THAT WASN'T SARCASM

[lapdogchase]

yeah man that group of queer people really are evil fakers stealing ur resources. for real this time yeah. no it's not dumb meaningless exclusionist discourse that you're traumatizing a group of fellow queer people with this time, it's a good thing this time. keep sending those people death threats and talking about how they're not oppressed enough you're really doing so much good for the queer community

If even acknowledging antisemitism within your community spaces is going to "distract from the cause," maybe that's because the foundation of your beliefs comes down to antisemitism. What you're doing is telling on yourself.

So, y'all know Steph slapped Bruce, but do y'all know what happens afterward? How Steph and Bruce reacts?

Because, I do, and it's some good shit.

When Steph slaps Bruce, she immediately panics, which makes sense. Bruce is an adult man, and those aren't known for their great reactions to being confronted, and she is a teenage girl. He is also an authority figure in her life. (Sidenotes: yes, this is the first official time they meet again after Bruce "died". He was complementing her vigilante work when she slapped him.)

Instead of going after her (which would scare her more), Bruce waits until later to find her again to discuss. She is now wearing her Batgirl's suit, so it is at least a couple of hours since the slap. Bruce gave her time to think about what she wants to say to him. And now, it is time for him to listen.

And listen he does, as he barely speaks and doesn't interrupt her. Then, once she's done, he is smiling, proud of her for standing up against him. The few words he says imply that he wants her to do whatever she wants, he is not the boss of her.

Bruce: Is this what you really want?

Steph: Yes.

Bruce: Then say it.

Steph: I want to be Batgirl.

Bruce: It is uniquely hers now, isn't it?

Alfred: Indeed, sir.

Oh is that so, Joanne? It bothers you to be called by a name that you don't identify with?

I simply cannot imagine what that must feel like.

Has anyone heard of this game called 'Arknights'? It's kinda obscure, but the character designs slap

Thanks @valence-e for the suggestion!

BioWare has done quite a fuckup with worldstate choices so don't forget to shit on your local Solasmancer cause they clearly suffer less and you can't have that.

A lot of infighting could be avoided if people weren't blatant assholes about... so much.

Like, some of you took "fuck respectability politics" to mean "I can be a dick to anyone I feel like." Yes, vent, be emotional, be tired, be angry.

But do it separate from educating and communication. If you can't do that, then set your boundaries and say that no, you're not doing that work right now. It's better for both you and the person who is asking questions or trying to talk to you.

So much of infighting is just taking out pain on each other when there could otherwise be a genuine conversation that requires delicacy. People talking deserve to be able to share sensitive parts of their lives and have those things be respected. Asking questions about it should be possible without attacking the person.

If this is about community, then act like it. Listen, be vulnerable, take breaks, set boundaries, and have a conversation you think needs to happen in a way that isn't hate.

I'm not telling you to be a doormat, if someone clearly doesn't have any interest in doing the same for you, you don't interact with them. If they start harassing you, do what you need to do to set and keep your boundaries.

But it's all so petty most of the time. There's so much pain, and for what? Feeling a high from your rage? Feeling powerful? Whatever it is, it's not protecting or building anything.

Love how pople will complain about how mean women are to men, but their hatred for women is so great that they'll openly mock other men for being romantic; or just being polite to women, and genuinely caring for their safety and wellbeing.

Really wish we got more time with Loki and Thor together in the MCU, because the opportunity to have Thor fuck with Loki's hair to make it static - just to piss him off - is phenomenal

i love my local doctors surgery so much. it's so great when they tell me to not stop taking my meds and then make me unable to refill my prescription until two weeks after my supply will ran out. truly amazing service!!!

[lesbianwyllravengard]

Yeah I actually fr believe that if you like a character I hate then you're stupid and dumb and stupid and should explode and I'm so serious and genuine in that. Heed my words

[unbidden-yidden-deactivated20240]

You: how are you Israelis dealing with this it's a nightmare on here there's so much hate y'all are so tough for putting up with this

Some rando: I hope this doesn't mean OP supports Bibi why are you vague-posting about something that I don't even see on my dash OP?

and they don't even realize why they shouldn't have said that

See that would require them to follow Jews (or chas v'shalom) Israelis in order to see those posts.

Anyway idk what you're talking about Bibi and I are besties, we get our nails done together every other week.
