#AND RACISM TOO

[soup-mother]

"Tumblr is the gay communist website" tumblr is the transmisogyny and racism from people who think fanfic is political theory website

Nex Benedict's death wasn't just for being transgender, it was for being native too. 2 Spirits are revered in many native cultures and it is a native-specific identity. This wasn't just a hate crime against trans & NB individuals, this was also a hate crime against Natives of Turtle Island.

You cannot separate Nex's trans identity from their native identity - this is a case of MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirits).

Native children being killed at school is nothing new, so it's equally important to talk about Nex's native identity and being intersectional, this is a devastating tragedy for indigenous people, the queer community & especially those of us who are both indigenous and queer.

May Nex rest in peace 🪶

Coining a phrase: Period atypical homophobia.

Definition: When the writer of a piece of historical fiction hasn't really bothered to research how gay people existed in a period of time or what terms would have been used to discuss homosexuality positively or negatively. So instead they put the most modern, likely religious terms into the mouth of a historical character to establish that a character is homophobic.

e.g. Having every Victorian character be a religious homophobe instead of having them talk about "public decency" and "discretion"

"The bigots up top think we're ALL fucked up! They want us ALL dead!" Hey that's cool dude you're right! Now are you saying this as a genuine expression of solidarity and community, or do you only bring this point up when the acknowledgement of intersectionality makes you uncomfortable? Is it a rallying cry, or a way to shut down people affected by intercommunity bigotry?

this makes me so sad and angry

John is easily one of the best voice actors in the game, but because Barret doesn't get enough appreciation, he doesn't either. i'm so tired of the Barret erasure man, and so is he, understandably. Barret is one of the MAIN!!! characters and he gets nothing every fucking time. WHEN will this change.

Not to be that person, but if Kamala Harris were a white man with the exact same ideals, positions, and beliefs, it wouldn’t have even been a competition. Realising that the worst thing you can apparently be is a woman, is truly devastating.

one thing is certain: we need to nuke england from orbit

[lelianasbong]

anytime a character (who isn't a white dude) isn't demure or self-effacing people immediately rush to call them "smug" lmao fandom have you heard of. Confidence

[rotzaprachim]

sitting here thinking about the fact that the US had the option of tim walz, the most beer and pretzels middle america midwest lutheran high school football coach white man you could ever think to get, and when he actually pushed measures advocating on behalf of white working class american people like school meals for their children and free tampons in high schools he was called some kind of beta male urban elite commie cuck who couldn't possibly know how to fix real american's problems half so well as a nyc billionaire did.

when the democrats actually did put forward practical measures for everyday people they got burned for it, and then idiots have the chutzpah to say they lost because they didn't go far enough left

I wish I had the audacity of the non-jew goyspaining to me that Ireland just want to expand the legal definition of genocide so it will protect Palestinians by classing the current situation as a legal genocide instead of what it now which is not one (otherwise they wouldn't be expanding it).

Ireland and even Amnesty Internation both state that it does not meet the criteria for genocide. I'm not saying war crimes haven't happend, they have and should be punished accordingly.

Maybe, instead of trying to turn Israel into the new Original Sin, Ireland could put their effort into trying to broker peace, remove Hamas, free the hostages they've NEVER mentioned and set the stage for a sustainable, two state solution where Israel and Palestine can co-exist in peace.

I want everyone in the middle east to live in peace but clearly a lot of people don't because in my vision of the future, we don't ethnically cleanse anyone or force them to be second class citizens; Jews, Palestinians and Arabs etc. can live in peace in Israel and Palestine.

I just saw a post about people complimenting butches, women of color and trans women in regards to destroying crushing ect. Things/people and it also works in the reverse.

It is okay and normal and fine and awesome to compliment butches, woc, and trans women outside of how uwu soft bebe smol bean they are. Actually.

As a butch black person percieved as a woman myself, it is. Way too fucking common to say they were intimidated by me but I was actually a "soft teddy bear" and be infantilized and uwubified because people don't want me to think they see me as dangerous.

It is. Annoying.

Just. Compliment us. And actually be genuine and thoughtful. Think of something that actually describes us, please. Outside of "could literally break me in half" and "literally could not hurt a fly".

Idk. Idk.

@ 911 fans—

Athena is not Buck’s mom. Hen is not Buck’s mom.

Athena has two children— Harry and May. She is their mom. Hen has two children— Denny and Mara. She is their mom. Karen is also their mom.

These black women are not the mothers of a grown-ass white man. Just as you should not pigeonhole black women into sassy, emasculating, and domineering stereotypes— which I see you all do, you should also not pigeonhole them into the stereotype role of the domestic laborer: cooking for, cleaning up after, and being a mother to a white “child.”

Shut the fuck up about “Mother Hen” and “Mother Athena.” If you aren’t talking about their relationship with their own legal children, shut the fuck up. Stop calling these women sassy and stop referring to them as Buck’s mothers.

Buck has a mother, Margaret Buckley. Margaret is his only mother. I don’t care if you dislike her, but replacing a neglectful white mother with a black woman as a caretaker is not the endearing move you think it is.

[taashyvashedan]

I find it infuriating that nobody seems to like Taash, but loves replacing them in mods for their romance scenes because they know it's hot.

[rejaytionships]

cannot believe i gotta say this but please don't follow me if you're comfortable selfshipping with canon racists. i don't care if you headcanon them as otherwise, because if their racism against a real group of people is a key facet of their character (much less incredibly important to the telling of the story that this character is a racist) then i do not wanna see it. this is not the safe space for you
