#DoubleStandard

[youngtreetheorist]

People need to stop comparing Drake Bell to Brian Peck—they are not the same. Drake didn’t commit the same crimes as Brian. Drake received more punishment for sending a message, and while he should have been more professional and responsible, the fact that he blocked the person after finding out her real age shows he had no predatory intentions.

It feels like the media and social media are protecting Brian Peck. Why attack Drake over a text message while protecting someone like Brian Peck, who harmed numerous children? This double standard doesn’t make sense.

Lol! The Majority isn’t used to this. They’re used to DEATH and DESTRUCTION at will! So used to doing anything and everything and not even receiving a stern talking to from Mr. Brady or Mr. Drummond! Lol!

The Double Standard of Justice: Why American Politicians Often Escape Accountability

The Double Standard of Justice: Why American Politicians Often Escape Accountability

In the United States, a disturbing trend has emerged where politicians are frequently held to a different standard of justice than ordinary citizens. Despite committing crimes that would warrant severe penalties for regular individuals, politicians often receive lenient sentences, plea deals, or even complete impunity. This disparity is particularly egregious when it comes to severe offenses like sexual assault, theft, discrimination, abuse of power, and criminal and civil crimes. One primary reason for this double standard is the influence of power and privilege. Politicians, particularly those in high-ranking positions, possess significant sway over the legal system, law enforcement, and the media. This enables them to leverage their connections and resources to mitigate consequences, silence whistleblowers, and shape public perception. Another factor contributing to the leniency towards politicians is the complexity of the legal system. Laws and regulations governing political conduct often contain loopholes, ambiguities, and exemptions that allow politicians to exploit technicalities and avoid accountability. Additionally, the slow pace of investigations and prosecutions can lead to public fatigue, reducing pressure on authorities to take decisive action. The role of money and campaign financing also plays a significant part in shielding politicians from justice. Wealthy donors and special interest groups often provide financial support to politicians, creating a sense of obligation and reciprocity. This can lead to favorable treatment, reduced scrutiny, and even outright immunity from prosecution. Furthermore, the politicization of the justice system has resulted in a lack of independence and impartiality. Prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officials may feel pressure to prioritize political considerations over the pursuit of justice, particularly when dealing with high-profile cases involving politicians. The consequences of this double standard are far-reaching and corrosive. It erodes trust in institutions, perpetuates a culture of impunity, and undermines the rule of law. When politicians are not held accountable for their actions, it sends a message that they are above the law, emboldening them to engage in further wrongdoing and abuse of power. To address this issue, it is essential to implement reforms that promote transparency, accountability, and equal justice under the law. This can be achieved through measures such as: - Strengthening campaign finance regulations and disclosure requirements - Enhancing whistleblower protections and encouraging reporting of misconduct - Implementing independent oversight bodies and special prosecutors for political cases - Closing legal loopholes and clarifying laws governing political conduct - Increasing public engagement and scrutiny of political actions and investigations

Ultimately, the double standard of justice must be confronted and dismantled to restore faith in the US legal system and ensure that all individuals, regardless of status or position, are held equally accountable for their actions.

"The old saying 'you can't outrun time' appears to have been turned on its head, as many older millennials, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers have seemingly given American politicians a free pass, allowing them to dodge accountability with ease." May the universe help us.

"It's fetishizations, your watering-down names!!" I am on the verge of another breakdown. Apparently I am never "pure" enough, just being white is "dirty".

I am sick of trans people divide themselves, and as a trans person I am sick of everyone assuming I am a bad person. it's bad enough that I get it from being trans, but apparently if your white and choose a non-Hebrew name your racist. Hebrew names derive from the bible, especially the Jewish bible, and there are barely even any "White" names as in AMERICA/BRITIAN. Also p.s. I deal with obsessive thoughts, and I am not in a good mental state so I am sorry if I accidentally offend people but calling someone "watering down" culture as in understanding the meaning and importance's behind a name is awful to say.

White people with names depriving from Asia are also likely to be targeted, and aren't the ones mocking Asian names. I, myself, don't have a chosen name really. I jump from name to name, but I am not going to sit there and shame someone for their chosen name. It's a similar thing to be kicking the enbies to the ground for choosing the name Arson. Despite that also being controversial, and the stereotype was always a skinny white "woman"/AFAB person to choose that name. People aren't trying to offend anyone over their names even if they did, stop making excuse to not give your child an Asian name if your so urged to gatekeep them. And also there are trans people who are half white/half asian (WASIAN!) who don't need people to mock them for both being Asian and using an Asian name as a half white person.

Even if you were to disagree how is it not racist to say someone is "watering" down your culture by participating or living in an Asian country. Everyone assumes you would immediately come from a western European country if your white, and trans but that isn't the case for everyone. A similar tactic has been used by Asian people to say they can't wear Kimono's or such.

Being Considered Pretty By Society's Standards Is Both A Privilege And A Prison

Pretty privilege is real. The world treats you differently when you fit society's beauty standards. Doors open easier. People are nicer. Life seems smoother.

But here's what nobody talks about - the exhausting pressure of maintaining that privilege. The constant awareness that your value seems directly tied to how you look that day.

Because that's the thing about pretty privilege - it's conditional. It's fragile. It depends on:

Staying thin enough

Looking young enough

Being polished enough

Appearing effortless enough

Always being "enough"

The world is kinder when you're pretty, but it's also watching. Waiting. Ready to revoke those privileges the moment you:

Gain weight

Show age

Look tired

Stop trying

Just exist

Pretty privilege means people listen when you speak, but they're not always hearing your words. They're looking at your face, your body, your package. Your ideas come second to your appearance.

It means getting opportunities, but always wondering if you earned them or if your face did. It means constant impostor syndrome, wondering if your achievements are yours or your looks'.

Pretty privilege means easier dating - but it also means never quite knowing if someone likes you or just likes looking at you. If they're interested in your mind or just your appearance. If they want to know you or just be seen with you.

It means being treated better at work, but also not being taken as seriously. Being called "sweetie" in meetings where men are called "sir." Having your intelligence seem surprising rather than expected.

The pressure is constant:

Don't age

Don't change

Don't slip

Don't fail

Don't rest

Because pretty privilege isn't a gift - it's a loan. One that can be recalled the moment you stop meeting the requirements. One that charges interest in the form of your self-worth.

And the maintenance? It's expensive:

Time spent on appearance

Money spent on upkeep

Energy spent on presentation

Youth spent on preservation

Worth spent on perception

Pretty privilege means being seen - but often not for who you are. Being heard - but often not for what you say. Being valued - but often not for what you offer beyond your appearance.

It means being put on a pedestal that feels more like a stage. Where everyone's watching, waiting for you to fall. Where the spotlight feels more like a searchlight, looking for flaws.

The truth about pretty privilege is:

It's temporary

It's conditional

It's expensive

It's exhausting

It's a trap

Because while the world treats pretty girls better, it also punishes them harder for stepping out of line. For aging. For changing. For being human.

So yes, pretty privilege is real. But so is pretty pressure. And maybe instead of envying the privilege or denying its existence, we need to talk about how messed up it is that someone's face determines how human they're allowed to be.

At the end of the day, pretty privilege isn't actually privilege at all. It's just another way society controls women by making their worth conditional on their appearance.

reading acomaf out of curiosity (i actually did enjoy acotar the first book but uh. lets say my opinion is going Down) and well. rhysand sending feyre into a place that he does not tell her virtually any information about and leaves her on her own to get killed/injured/kidnapped or WORSE....? cmon man

[hyacinthsdiamonds]

Seeing the same people who perpetuated or sent vicious misogynistic hate to Hannah Schmitz, as well as disgusting racist abuse towards Yuki and Alex because of FUCKING CONSPIRACY THEORIES and those who just straight up ignored it, now up in arms regarding whatever the fuck is going on between the FIA and the wolffs is beginning to piss me off. Because now that it's not someone red bull affiliated involved, it's somehow now unacceptable.

can i just say alduin's name sucks so bad as a retconned dragon name. like it was never meant to mean something like that, it was made up way before dovahzul. but having to shoehorn it in, comparing him with other dragons... he just sucks. look how short his name is. his brother is named parthurnax which has so many more interesting letters in it. alduin's name doesnt look like 3 compound words its just a name. i think he could just do better than that
