I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. āblack washingā is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about āreverse racismā and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that āblack washingā can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels āi'm not talking about this chat. i'm notā (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

So the drivers are being told to watch their language (even though its the broadcasters' who literally pick and choose the radio snippets, and have the ability to 1 listen to a radio message in its entirety and 2 censor the quote unquote offensive language BEFORE adding it to the live broadcast), yet a sky sports commentator literally called one of the drivers a slur during a live broadcast, never apologised for it and was never called out for it by officials, but swearing is where F1 draws the line. Swearing has got more backlash from officials than the use of a slur. Cool, cool, cool...
#f1#formula 1#formula one#f1 hypocrisy strikes again#i know fork found in kitchen etc#if a driver used the language that was used by that commentator they'd have been rightfully called out and punished for it#but why wasn't the commentator held to the same standards?#outside of the drivers he is probably one of the most recognisable voices in f1 to English speaking audiences#zero tolerance should mean zero tolerance across the board#context: martin brundle used a derogatory term to refer to Zhou at the Spanish gp in 2023#and you could hear him realise what he said and instead of immediately apologising he awkwardly moved on instead#sky sports a few days later expressed regret over what was said but that was the height of it#its just interesting to see which quote unquote incident the FIA & other officials are choosing to weigh in on

I figured out how all these different races and cultures could possibly agree on currency.
And yes I'm going to say this means Quel'thalas/Silvermoon still kinda uses "Alliance" coins and it annoys them every day but no one's bothered to take them out of the system yet. You'll see well-traveled Horde citizens handing over old coins with Terenas Menethil's face on them to merchants in Orgrimmar and that's just how it is, because they go off weight and not the coin itself.
#au lore#at this fuckin rate i'm gonna end up taking an economics class ''for research''#and yeah by extension the standardized coins are by weight too. they're each a certain size and thus a certain weight#but you know what I mean#I had an epiphany while writing this btw. gold is more valuable because it weighs more.#that's literally it š#maybe it's also harder to come by idk

i've just seen the anon ask about marc worrying about vale dying but your response about marc having a mental breakdown finding his first grey hair is honestly just like, me too bestie š
i found one a couple days whilst i was out and had a breakdown to this poor grandma who happened to be in the restaurant bathroom with me and she was trying so hard to be nice but I pulled it out and kept it so i could show my partner when I got home LMAAAOOO
grey hairs are insanely sexy is okay i prommy
#we are all aging.... its all good....#idk beauty standards are real and can obv weigh on people bc thats how society works#but they are also so alienating from what is good about being human to me#whihc is finding a loving people because of who they are and how they make me feel.... like being hot is fun thats undeniable...#but people always get hotter once i know them becuase its THEM yaknow#and who gets to decide whatās hot anyways. and why does that matter more than the people who love meā¦#idk just thinking not like. trying to tell you youāre wrong or anythingā¦ loveā¦

Recent surges of XY fanart is reminding me about how a part of me gets sad whenever Diantha + Augustine + Lysandre are presented as a trio when to me Malva should be the fourth to the quartet, and like, of course I get why (her relevance isn't really apparent until the postgame and the other three are the 'faces' of the region, french flag colours and so on and so forth) so I have no ill will towards that sort of thing but
It does feed into this sort of meta-analysis turned headcanon for me where no matter how much publicity she has she's never really in the spotlight, despite her position and her presence she's relegated to a secondary pedestal, excluded from ever really sitting at the top. you might say she's got a complex about it
#and again like no grudges against real people#but the way fans react to things peppers so much of what i imagine characters deal with in universe as public figures#forced rivalries and high pressure situations where supporters can turn on you on a dime if you're not performing to their standards#like don't get me started on d/iantha and c/ynthia in a world that constantly pits them against each other and how that would weigh on them

on that note - if people are calling things like "a character wearing leather with a full face of makeup" or "taylor swift wearing pants" butch, it does make me wonder what they see AS feminine standards, you know? even misusing the term, butch does still refer at the very least to a more masculine outward expression (ik there's much more to its actual definition im just talking about the most overused and watered down twitter definition.) if you perceive normative feminine standards so stringently that wearing pants is butch, how do you think of butches who, yknow, actually and genuinely present like men? what about butches on T? butches who use he/him pronouns? butches who are transfem? are they scary to you?
and more salient to my actual point - are you gonna call real-life trans girls who don't shave or wear makeup butch? trans girls who wear pants? or just literally any transfem who is not exhibiting high levels of femininity in her day to day life? also: are you gonna start calling black women who don't wear makeup butch??? because that is what all of this is leading to. are you going to start claiming certain marginalized classes of women are subverting femininity simply because you unintentionally have such ridiculously strict standards?
#transmisogyny#racism#ask to tag#no but i for real think about this a lot. theres a LOT of assumptions abt femininity that go into who gets called butch on twitter dot com#and feminine standards are by very nature white supremacist and transmisogynistic. so....#if anyone has seen this happen + has had this happen to them weigh in

I just watched a video essayist going over Jenniferās Body have to fully explain the box cutter line, and I remembered one time having to explain why yelling ākick her in the boxā had been crude ringside fight banter, not just average fight banter because the people I had been talking to had all assumed Iād meant ākick her in the headā
Is āboxā meaning essentially ācuntā that old fashioned? I mean I know itās vintage, one of the oldest euphemism for a vagina. But like, what I really mean is likeā¦ does no one use it anymore? Why? It doesnāt seem like one thereād be a point in getting rid of.
And I did a bit of research and it can mean a cock too apparently depending on the context so like. Yes, due to the nature of euphemisms being vague it can technically refer to anything. But thatās never stopped anyone from using fuck, which literally can mean anything if you work hard enough. Honestly its ability to be technically genital neutral just makes it more effective? Idk. I guess the cock is usually in briefs though. Hence the box.
But either way. It is weird growing old and realizing your slang is confusing people. I donāt mind dropping vocab if itās offensive or something, but if itās just old I donāt really feel like I wanna alter myselfā¦ I can just be old and cringe if thatās the only problemā¦.
#pointless navel gazing#and I mean I can weigh the difference between offense and harm I guess#since I still say stuff thatās considered offensive but like on a small scale#like swearing or likeā¦ varying opinions and you canāt please everyone etc.#offense is a tricky classification obvs and I have to like.. decide for myself what my standards are

legitimate question
am i good enough?
#i just feel like iām not good enough#not good enough to do hard classes#not good enough to live up to my standards#hell sometiems i donāt even feel good enough to be on here#i donāt know where iām going wrong#i honestly just think this is my ādepression weekā#mainly because itās been two years since my very first suicide attempt and it just weighs down on me sometimes#and the only thing that sometimes works is pretending some fictional character would give two damn shits about me#when in reality i wouldnāt even be good enough for that#i canāt stop thinking like this#this is honestly just a really hard time for me because i just tend to have everything weigh down at once#but i just donāt feel good enough#and i know no one is gonna see this or care but i dunno#iām just tired of everything#itās pathetic of me to pretend some fictional person would give a shit about me#itās pathetic of me to keep trying to be better at something than my brother so i can have one thing be known as a me thing#and i know iām weird#and i hate it#i hate the way i am#itās just the reality of it. iām not good enough. not for me not my family nor anyonee#iām not digging for clout either so justā¦please donāt.#skipper speaks#vent#i actually think this is the lowest iāve been in a while

Question for all the people who do measure in grams for every recipe: are y'all breaking out a kitchen scale every time you want to bake cookies, or is there a standardized set of baking cups/spoons that use grams?
#genuinely curious because it seems like a standard set would be a little inaccurate#but weighing each ingredient individually seems like such a hassle for simpler recipes#baking#grams

not to sound like hannibal lecter over here but having your own Outrage, lovingly handcrafting it over months, and not being able to use it beat the crap out of annoying people? I bet that just eats you up doesn't it. sorry this came off sounding really mean. truly though it breaks my heart because you deserve to beat up people that bother you with a flaming magic sword. -š
Oh, don't worry, it is VERY sturdy. I could definitely swing this thing at someone if I wanted. The handle segment might pop off again, but the rest of it? Impressively durable. There are two approximately half inch thick all-thread metal rods inside it bound with washers, epoxy, super glue, and heat that melted the plastic together; then a thick layer of Bondo on the outside with more super glue, epoxy, and green stuff (a type of epoxy putty). Its only weaknesses are temperatures over ~160f/71c and running it over with a car haha
#asks#I'm not actually sure if this thing is convention legal. It isn't sharp at all but it weighs 10lbs#It'd be like swinging a giant hammer at someone#160f won't melt it but it makes the PLA soft and pliable. It doesn't melt until 212c (413f)#The filament I printed this with is a PLA/TPU polymer so it has the rigidity of your standard plastic but-#-TPU is more like rubber. Combined it becomes a strong plastic that bends instead of snaps#Standard PLA is very brittle. If you bend it to a certain point it shatters. This PLA+ will just bend unless you REALLY force it#My only regret wrt this thing's construction is that I didn't install the one rod up into the handle the whole way#That made the 'body' segment heavy with a lot of pressure between the 4 handle pieces and it#It's not enough that I think it would be worth the effort taking it apart and installing a third rod though (which is why I didn't)#It just gives it a concentrated weak point that I need to be careful about but the epoxy made it solid as hell#I'm not very concerned about the handle popping off again unless I try to snap this thing over my knee or something#WHICH TBH WOULD HURT MY KNEE A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN THE OUTRAGE LOLLL#Bringing up the construction of the Outrage activates me [positive]

do canadians not tip their servers regularly?? wife and i brought my MIL to dinner for her bday and our server was exceptional so i tipped her 22% (my standard if the service is good is 20%, which afaik is relatively normal in america) and when she saw the total her eyebrows shot into space and she got extremely polite and gracious as she was bidding us goodbye
my wife said most people tip 15-20% so i went a bit above that and got a reaction like i handed the woman an entire paycheck or something
#the hawk speaks#she legit almost looked like she might cry i am so baffled by this reaction it was barely more than my standard tip %#canadians please weigh in WHAT is your tipping culture
