#and a racist woman is just a racist

[oh-my-damn]

I also hope you are not shaming a woman who does nude photographs. That is wrong and sexist. We don’t know what those photos were used for and are also private. Calling out someone for racism and antisemitism is good. But for nudity it’s wrong. ///

Dropping a shower porn to distract people from the truth of her and her posse being racist, antisemitic, and body shamers is not wrong.

Not all women deserve to be defended when they do shitty things

LMAO

Listen. I do not support every woman just because I'm a feminist. And even so, feminism mean equal rights? It has nothing to do with the individuals of women (even though I also do support MOST women)

But I also don't support republican women. I also don't support extremist religious women. Just like I don't support racist women.

Just like all POC's don't have to support other POC's. I for one wouldn't expect any black people to support Kanye West after his anti-semitic rants.

So that argument the anon made is fucking bullshit.

We owe dumb bitches nothing. Not when they themselves do absolutely nothing to further an agenda that leads to gender equality. Stupid people come in all forms, and it's okay to call them out when they act like absolute morons.

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.

[sniperct]

Harris, like Biden, like any non-MAGA politician in this country is a mixture of a lot of good things and bad things. What we need to do is focus on the good things. She's backed all of the good policies that Biden has implemented. Some of the bad, too, but that's going to be anyone running for president.

Plus:

A former prosecutor who was good at taking out sex offenders vs an adjudicated sex offender

We can work with this.

Oooooo 👀 you got me interested with cass, steph, dami and jon as a quad! The potential!!! 🤌

what type of shenanigans would they all get into?

How about a sleepover? scary stories?Gettin into trouble? The only quad to ever.

Someone asked about a sleepover so here: Damian thought it’d be a good idea to show Cass another form of visual presentation and expression through art like he likes to do but make it a game.

Bonus:

They got really tired after playing rooftop tag.

What's interesting about the world's response to white workers dying in Palestine vs the Palestinians dying in Palestine is that therein lies the truth, the reality of whiteness and why white people fight so hard to maintain that "ignorance" of it.

Because the thing is, on the one hand, ofc you'll have white people astounded and horrified that THEY TOO can be exposed to such suffering and loss! That's not what's supposed to happen! It's not supposed to happen to them!!

But the thing is, that's the risk you run when white people work against white supremacy's end goals. 🤷🏾‍♀️ THAT'S the fear that so many white people have and don't want to acknowledge when they refuse to learn of their privilege. They already know it exists, even if they don't name it, and that the loss of that privilege- of that whiteness, of the SAFETY that comes with it- means being exposed to the very same dangers that the REST of us are born into and forced to live in.

It's scary, it's painful, it's reality, and it's "not normal" for them.

Essentially what I'm saying is, the moment those workers- may they rest in peace- chose to help Palestinians, their whiteness was forfeit. White supremacy as a tool has never had an issue disposing of white people that didn't fall in line. So long as white people choose to work against white supremacy, their lives no longer count. Only those who defend that violent status quo (and that include by saying and doing nothing!!) benefit from its rewards.

women in fandoms can have one of two character traits: #girlboss or toxic bitch. occasionally these overlap and the same woman will be characterized by some people as a #girlboss and by others as a toxic bitch. sometimes she will also be referred to as a mom [friend], which can be a subset of #girlboss in that she's sooo much more emotionally mature and capable and careful and responsible than any man around her. but as we all know, #girlboss and mom friend, or toxic bitch: these are the only traits women have. any negative traits a woman has are erased - this is the thesis statement of the #girlboss characterizers: of course i love female characters!! i think women are so great they don't have any character flaws! #feminism - or are overinflated with disgust (she's toxic, she's a total bitch, she's evil. especially if she's not white. i mean what?)

the James Somerton thing really shows how hard people are willing to go to bat for a white cis guy who seems to say all the right things and makes content they like no matter how much everyone else has proof of them being a bad person. That is, until a more popular white cis guy who says all the right things calls them out.

This isn't a criticism of Hbomberguy at all, but of everyone else for refusing to listen to the voices of the people James hurt until Hbomb made it cool. This happens all the time and is still happening and it drives me insane. Y'all need to do better.

I'm a JayVik fan, I'm a MelJay fan, and I'm a MelJayVik fan (as well as a fan of all these characters), full disclosure, but it's really annoying how people in this fandom still only use Mel and Jay as props for Viktor, whilst ignoring who they are as characters outside of him. This is especially prevalent in shipping spaces where people will frame MelJay as being boring (they aren't, many people just can't get over themselves enough to see the value between them), to the point where you can hardly find things in their tag without it resorting back to Vik, over JayVik, but then, in turn, hardly add anything of equal value to Jay in JayVik regards, it's all about Viktor or how Jayce needs to make amends and grovel, but nothing of value besides making him the punching bag---something a lot of people in this fandom do (not saying all JayVik shippers do this, just to clarify). Like it's also very telling with the fact that you have two nuanced poc/poc coded (in Jayce's regards) characters, but can't/won't give them equal time of day as their white counterpart unless it's to elevate said counterpart (this is also prevalent in MelJayVik where some still completely push out Mel and make Jay oc just to focus on Viktor, yall are not slick). And this isn't me saying that you can't enjoy either of these ships or characters, nor dislike them, but it doesn't take much to see the flaws (and thinly coded forms of racism and misogynoir) that also play a role in this fandom. It's so frustrating to see.

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.

The day that Vivziepop decides to try and do autistic representation in her media is the day I think I'll kill myself.

i get the heart of all those 'cait's actions are understandable but not excusable' posts and i get that she's shaped by her environment but like,,, no, i don't think her actions are understandable or excusable, actually. me personally i think collective punishment of an oppressed people and martial law are unequivocally Bad and require a pathological lack of empathy and dehumanization of others that i find unconscionable. i think most all agents of an oppressive state are Bad bc they directly support a system built on exploitation. cops are bad and soldiers are also Bad. more importantly a grown woman exploiting an oppressive system for her own personal vendetta is Bad. evil, even. but ofc you can like her anyway and when one side has all the power then it's quite literally physically impossible for it to be a 'complex issue' where 'both sides are bad/have bad people'. one side has people reacting to being oppressed and brutalized for decades. the other controls everything and has all the power and supports a system that was built on and actively supports the exploitation of others. it's very clear who the oppressors are, actually

and the point of cait's character this season (so far) is how easily privileged people become fucking evil, with full support of the system, when they experience an ounce of suffering that in no way compares to the suffering that oppressed people experience on the daily, yet don't become evil fascists over. losing your mom as a grown woman is hard for sure, i'm not denying that. being a child and losing her, your father and your friends, seeing your community be brutalized for your entire life and not even having the space to grieve or the power to do anything about it, is dare i say significantly worse. and that's something that isn't exclusive to jinx, it's a lived reality for nearly every single person in the undercity. the grace you're giving cait is one you haven't extended to every single oppressed person who has YEARS of brutalization to justify their hatred for every single person contributing to and supporting an inhumane system

point is seeing you guys justifying cait's actions and infantilizing her when she's a grown woman who knows exactly what she's doing is,,,, something.

Kind of really fed up by people acting like Kitty Pryde isn't canonically bisexual 😑 like she is actually for real currently dating a woman. Explicitly.

I find it odd and by odd I mean racist that ever since that stupid show cast the Dragon Twins as Black girls, there's been an uptick in Jace/Sara content/shipping.

Before the dumpster fire started, reasonable people agreed that Sara Snow was not real, but now you cannot go five minutes in Jace or Baela’s tag without seeing someone wish they'd include Sara Snow in the show.

They say it'll deepen Jace’s character and make him “interesting”, whatever that means. The problem with this assertion is that Jace is already plenty interesting, he led the war councils while his mother grieved, and he recruited the blacks' most important allies. Allies who remained steadfast even after his mother's and his own demise.

Furthermore, Jace has existing relationships in his life that the show could explore to delve into his connection with bastardy. Three of whom are canonically Black, by the way.

So, the question arises: what unique perspective or insight can Sara Snow provide to Jace's struggle with his bastard status that Nettles, Addam, and Alyn cannot?

its ok for you to prefer woc over white women (even though you yourself said racial preferences can be racist and problematic) and yet its not ok for white women to prefer being around white men that share our culture and manners......ah yes that makes sense

And reverse racism omg there is only racism not reverse racism tf

Reverse racism implies that you can only be racist towards one group of people which obviously isnt true

Anyway glad you are showing your true colors

did u really compare me preferring to date woc to you hating immigrants
