#also fuck matt walsh

[pirateprincessjess]

It's wild that half of all transfems pre transition looks like the same depressed discount matt walsh clone, same beard and hairstyle. Its making me think that the crazy man himself might just be in extreme denial.

Wait…. Does my pre transition pic look like Matt Walsh? That’s devastating

The only way

The only way to win is to consume; To be consumed by consumption; To see your goals and push away; To work for naught day by day. To put anger on the ones who fight; To hate their want for civil rights; To know they know no home. To have never known the road. But in the end. The sunk cost, it pulls you down. In the river of life you start to drown. The only way to win, is to lose.

Trump being sworn in for the second time on the day honoring Martin Luther King Jr of all days is fucking insane. Like we're really swearing in the virulently racist rapist who is going to erode civil rights on the day honoring a legendary civil rights activist who dedicated his entire life to justice.

If this happened in a movie people would be rolling their eyes because it's so on-the-nose. But nah we really do just live in an absolute joke of a timeline.

i saw this tweet in a dream months ago

Imma send this to anyone who acts like JK Rowling is just being a bigot for women's rights- she's making it very clear here she's not pro women's rights if you dare disagree with her. If you dare do so and dare to support trans rights, she'll either in a condescending tone tell you your simply naïve and need to experience certain things to see why she and terfs are bigots, or she'll act like your simply craving attention from men. The line, "I forgive-", no one is begging you for forgiveness, JK, get that fantasy out of your head already alongside the fantasy off everyone being wrong if they dare point out how bigoted you are and that trans rights are human rights.

I hope Matt Walsh gets mauled very slowly by a pack of wolves

[supercantaloupe]

nah instagram keeps recommending an acct to me whose entire shtick is that our very catholic college is not catholic enough, with such delightful posts as "genuinely comparing being pro choice to racism" and "the secularists are trying to destroy religion on campus by cancelling a guest speaker"

I want off this god forsaken planet..

Ok so another quirk of YouTube I just noticed

I logged into my old junk mail account I used to browse with, but realized I haven't been on YouTube with it for several years. Haven't configured adblock as well. So Google is thinking that account as belongs to a man.

I'm getting exactly three kinds of ads:

Mobile shovelware games. Also get those on other accounts.

Border patrol recruitments

Matt Walsh's new anti-DEI movie

Absolutely fucking wild. I was just as much of a commie by that point as I am now, and a lot of my actual recommended videos are pretty much what I would expect out of 2-3 years ago me: leftist video essays, a couple of gaming and popsci channels, that kind of thing. The major difference is that most of my other Google browsing history linked to things like women's clothing and directly related to transgender and women's issues is on my newer account. So it's picking up that I'm a "man" on my other account, and trying to force me down a conservative rabbit hole. Interesting.

Excerpt from this Rolling Stone story:

A series of powerful wildfires has turned large swaths of Los Angeles into smoldering ruins. As first responders attempt to control the blazes, heavy winds are quite literally fanning the flames — to the point that the fires have now been ravaging the city for days. There is a clear link between climate change and the severity of recent wildfires. Climate-denying conservatives are instead blaming the devastation on California’s “woke” politics.

“DEI means people DIE,” Elon Musk wrote Wednesday on X in response to a video of Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley discussing how she wants to diversify the department.

Musk also responded “True” to a post from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones about the fires being “part of a larger globalist plot to wage economic warfare and deindustrialize the United States before triggering total collapse” — and then later deleted his response.

Musk has not deleted his promotion of several other posts blaming the destruction on diversity initiatives. “Los Angeles deliberately set out to exclude white men from becoming firefighters, and now they don’t have enough firefighters to prevent their city from burning to the ground,” wrote right-wing commentator Matt Walsh in one post endorsed by Musk. “DEI is a cancer that destroys everything it touches.”

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly accused Fire Chief Crowley and Mayor Karen Bass of prioritizing “DEI” over the city’s fire management capabilities. “In recent years, L.A.’s fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority, but diversity,” Kelly raged on Wednesday. “Who gives a shit if the fire chief is gay. I’m sorry, but who gives a flying fig about who she likes to sleep with, can you fight the fucking fires, madam? That’s the relevant question.” 

There’s no evidence that the fire department’s push for diversity has any affect on its ability to fight fires. It’s also not true that Bass cut the department’s budget by $23 million, another claim that has spread throughout right-wing media.

Conservatives have also been pushing the false idea California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s water policies have prevented the city’s ability to fight the fires. Trump has long been bashing Newsom over the policies, and has blamed him directly for the fires this week. “One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground,” the president-elect wrote today. “It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!”

On Fox News, host Jesse Watters decided to blame Native Americans for the devastation, as well, claiming that Newsom has “been tearing down dams” because “Indians wanted some of the river back so they could catch salmon. Gavin didn’t just knock down one dam for the Indians, he knocked down all four.” 

“And these dams were a go-to source for firefighters to pull water from to fight fires up north. Gavin’s literally tearing down Western civilization for fish and Indians,” Watters said, repeating the claim in another segment aired on Wednesday.

The fires currently destroying Los Angeles — as well as the fires that have increasingly been devastating the West Coast in recent years — are the result of hot, dry conditions caused by climate change. These conditions are inevitably going to lead to natural disasters that are going to overwhelm any infrastructure, regardless of the race and gender of the people running it. It’s an inconvenient truth for conservatives, who would rather point their fingers at minorities than acknowledge the reality of the climate crisis.

So, apparently Matt Walsh is unaware of the concept of a coincidence.

Or how calendars work.

Or how moons work... to an extent.

Joe Biden is just affirming an established international annual event. The day of this event was chosen in 2009 and it happens every year on March 31st. He has been making this proclamation since 2021.

A youth advocacy organization, Trans Student Educational Resources, spearheaded advocacy for a day of remembrance for all of those murdered and lost simply because they were trans.

I personally don't see how that is evil.

And because Easter is determined by ancient moon shit, it just so happens the two days coincide this year. If you don't want this to happen, pick an actual day!

Are people seriously expected to change an international day of remembrance because it lands on the same day as a major Christian holiday?

Before picking the day should they have mapped out every full moon after every equinox until the end of time to make sure they didn't overlap?

Also, there have been some Wikipedia shenanigans from folks who don't seem to care for this coincidence.

I'm guessing that won't be there long.

Matt Walsh is scum. And it is really annoying when he does dumb shit to make me defend Joe Fucking Biden.

Literally cannot tell if trolls or terf's in the reblogs on this post, but either way, to the fucking block list they go because I am sticking to one New Years resolution at least: do not engage with these fucks because its a drain of energy.

If you still somehow believe JK Rowling is a feminist even after all the shit she's been doing that does not benefit women's rights at all: Daily reminder she will be a bitch to any woman that tells her to stop being transphobic, but as soon as Elon Musk, a man, tells her to maybe post some more positive content instead of constant transphobia, she suddenly will do exactly that.

[chongoblog]

"Akshually. Being a feminist is WAY worse than being a known pedophile who draws underage girls in sexual situations and is also friends with two actually convicted pedophiles who were caught with literal child porn" somebody needs to check your hard drive immediately. Can you revolting pedophiles just kill yourselves already.

“JK Rowling totally hasn’t been heading a hate campaign against trans people, she cares about women’s rights, which is why she gets herself comfortable with Matt Walsh, known feminist. Also you think that Oda is faultless, because I’m not smart enough to comprehend things I read, but then again that’s kinda the price of entry for hating trans people this much.”

I’m really not in the mood for your dumbfuck attitude, so get the fuck out of my inbox, terf.

YOU LIKE SABATON??

Sorry, never saw someone else talk about it and am excited. Even if you aren't a general fan of the band and just like the song that's already cool:]

Hope you have a great day, and if you do like the band: Fav song?

Ahh, yeah. I have a few guilty pleasures. Powerwolf is another one 😬. Like, I know they're both technically secular bands, but... Hmm, I dunno. It just creates this inner squiggle in my chest when I hear huge crowds braying shit that could easily come out the mouth of Matt fucking Walsh and his ilk.

With a world superpower taking a hard right turn into a fascist theocracy, I think there's a discussion to be had... but, eh. These are more personal discomforts; I'm not morally judging anyone at all. I've seen both bands live. I would never want to censor people singing about these things; censorship, beyond all-out hate speech and incitement, of any kind is a slippery slope.

Other than the Last Stand, I also like Night Witches (kinda also imagine that's Nik's favourite song as well because what are headcanons for if not shameless projection), and To Hell and Back.

What're yours, Non?

[gaylactic-fire]

Hi hello, I've got a question, what that heck happened this week?? I haven't been active in awhile and I just logged back in here to follow an artist from tiktok, and I happened to see the conservative discord server screenshots on my "your tags" section. Is possible to get the sparks note version of what happened? (Sorry if the ask sounds weird, not very good at putting my thoughts into words)

Sorry I only answered this a few days later! You might already know what's happening by now, but in case you didn't I'll give you a TLDR:

- Tumblr user alasse-earfalas makes a post on LU's main tag advertising a conservative christian LU / LoZ server. She claims to want a safe space for those with similar views. What really catches people's attention is a part of the post that speaks about "Pride ideology" and how such "predatory" views aren't allowed in the server. In the same section she talks about wanting a space where characters are not "queered into oblivion." The vibes are utterly rancid.

- LU fandom immediately begins spiteposting. Everyone and their mother starts making LU queer headcanons or posts showing their support for the queer community. The memes flood in. "Queered into oblivion." is immediately reclaimed and added to people's lexicons. People are speedrunning how fast they can get banned off the server. There's almost a unanimous effort to make fun of bigots.

- Further controversy ensues under the surface. As it turns out, several religious people in the fandom had been interacting with Alasse and other people in the conservative server. It was impossible to know whether or not they shared similar views, but you can't blame people's caution. When questioned whether their blogs were safe for queer people, some gave very vague answers that pretty much dialed down to "I love everyone" or "I don't wanna talk about it." Neutrality in such instances is not reassuring for queer people, especially when the other side is claiming we are predatory. Afaik some people have redacted their statements or gone on to further clarify things. But some people still take a firmly neutral stance on the matter. (Don't ask who I haven't been following closely enough to know).

- A few days later Alasse comes back with a follow-up statement addressing the server. She pulls a mix between "gay people I respect VS gay people I don't respect." and "I'm not homophobic I have a gay friend." By stating that the server is not homophobic, but simply does not support the pride movement. Which is allegedly pushing to show porn to kids in school. When asked for a source on such a shocking claim someone on the server cites Fucking Matt Walsh rather than a non-biased and or scientific article. The transphobia also pops out when she claims the pride movement is trying to push surgeries on children (It's not. Children do not get gender realignment surgeries. You can find this out from five minutes on google). Addressing "queered into oblivion." Alasse goes on a rant about "queerwashing" characters, stating the Links are canonically straight and making them queer invalidates their identity. Alasse conveniently forgets that Nintendo has never canonically given Link a partner. She also forgets that bisexuality, asexuality and other sexualities that may include romantic attraction to the opposite sex do, in fact, exist. The rest of the post is whining about people joining the server to troll and basically just her reaping what she sowed for advertising on Tumblr Dot Com.

Aside for further outrage and memes, that's pretty much where we're up to so far. Things are dying down and hopefully the bigots will keep to their own corner and or fuck off from the fandom entirely.

despite popular belief.. i’m actually not that into the omegaverse bc of how silly some authors play into the roll of it (one of the reasons i love nephite’s story is bc it’s so well crafted into the omegaverse and not just “OMEGAS BELONG TO ALPHAS AND EVERYONES OKAY WITH IT” and bunny problematizes that with a cult and it’s so good chat oml) recently i’ve been seeing more posts about how the world would work in general and it has evolved since i last touched it. no yeah but the knot thing is bc i’m a monsterfucker :]

-🪢 (i found iiiitt stumbling into an ask i don’t remember sending is surreal btw jumpscare)

dhjebsjsbs ask jumpscare. when ur so horny u blackout

I've always liked the way some omegaverse has the whole thing about omegas being lesser and how it's a really extreme metaphor for like gender differences and oppression. like it just makes sense to me that in that world theyd have some really extreme rightwing crazies like a cult that essentially centers omegas but also actively hates them.

i think a tradwife omega just makes sense.

also i always end up thinking about like terfs and the way certain influential right wing people would be in omegaverse. i know its hard to take people like matt walsh seriously to begin with but the idea of him on the street like "WHAT IS AN OMEGA" is the funniest fucking thing. also people fear mongering about trans people getting bitched. i think about this too much.
