#and unfollow genuinely

[orange-coloredsky-archive]

a development team that looks like this could not possibly have any preconceived biases against Black people. noooo way. its just a mistake that all of the Black people in fo4 are slaves or named after fascist colonizers or murdered or stereotypical conspiracy freaks. there is no way that the reality of this team is reflected in the art they create over and over and over and over and over and over and

hang on 🙋 lately I've been seeing an alarming number of people on here, including some of my own followers, making fun of "tumblrinas" and artists for being anti AI image generation. what the fuck is the deal with the sudden attitude switch on that

I think, the craziest thing to me, about how people genuinely believe you can't be a Quirkless Pro-Hero in MHA/BNHA, is that having a Quirk doesn't mean you're invulnerable?

Eraserhead's Quirk only allows him to stop other people's powers, but the fighting? Thats him. The giant jump he does over the stairs? The way he throws people around with his capture weapon?

Endeavor makes hot flames, how did that help when Hood the Nomu bit through his arm? We see that his skin cuts like everyone else's, he gets his scar right before that. Hawks stabbing him in the back to make him go faster? Embedded enough to give him speed but not enough to pierce right through him? He goes toe to toe with the Nomu in the Stain Arc, that's all normal strength!

Stain's Paralysis doesn't make him faster, how was he dodging Iida's speed? How were his reflexes so good he moved past AfO Izuku's strikes?

Mandalay's telepathy, how did that help her agility? Sir Nighteye's Foresight, did it make him strong enough to throw those weights? Did Mirio's Permeation make him stronger even when he lost it and was still beating Overhaul's face in? Rock Lock's stop-motion? Ragdoll's Search?

How did Thirteen's Quirk help when almost murdered? Shouldn't she, as someone with a very strong ability just be faster? Bakugo's Explosion did jack when his heart exploded, right? Why wasn't his body just sturdier? Or do they have normal bodies, like a Quirkless person would have?

i’m tired of anti-voting rhetoric.

someone’s going to win in November. there’s no denying that. someone is going to win. no matter how many people refuse to vote, thinking that’s somehow going to make a statement or send a message, someone is going to win. and it’s going to be one of those two fuckers. a third-party candidate has never won before and there’s no indication that that could happen now. both of the assholes in question have horrendous foreign policy. in that regard, it doesn’t matter who wins, and as voters there’s nothing we can do about that except continue with activism. but with regards to domestic policy, one of those assholes is going to make life significantly harder for underprivileged people in america. that same asshole has all but stated outright that he wants to be a dictator. that asshole’s party isn’t fighting amongst themselves about him — they’re voting and they know exactly who they’re voting for. the other asshole with the better domestic policy has everyone within AND outside his party fighting about him because even though he’s better than the other guy he still sucks. lots of people in his party are pledging not to vote for him, instead voting for someone else with no chance of winning OR simply not voting at all and throwing away a right that people in other countries have fought bloody revolutions in order to earn. those people are helping the dictator asshole win. regardless of any “message” they might be trying to send, in the here and now, they’re helping the dictator asshole win.

taking domestic policy into consideration when deciding to vote is not americans “only caring about ourselves.” it’s recognizing that the foreign situation is fucked either way but we can still make a decision that’s better for the underprivileged people who live here.

Also at the other end of the spectrum, incest being incorporated into stories does not automatically mean the writer/artist gets off to it. Dark media having incest as a topic is genuinely important for people who have incest-related trauma. Representation for them is just as important as it is for people with any trauma.

Incest is definitely a touchy subject and can be really tough to cover. And people who put it in their media are often scared because there will always be people that point at it and scream 'proshipper' (/'tcester' for specifically the tmnt fandom) or something.

It is entirely valid for people to be put off by any kind of portrayal of incest, even if it's handled well. But that's what blocking and filtering are for. If someone's story makes you uncomfortable, it is entirely in your right to block them and filter out any tags that could keep that content away.

But to rant and rave and call them nasty things for what is possibly a projection of their own trauma is gross.

i understand the need to take breaks and pace yourself so you aren't overwhelmed. it's important to take care of yourself so you can keep going in the good fight. i myself usually catch up on news about once a day when i feel equipped for it. that said:

you're just going to ignore palestine for the next three months?

account settings literally already has what youre looking for so if you're set on doing this just use this feature and don't complain to other people about the fact that theyre keeping their eyes on palestine

A word of advice to everyone in the HL fandom. Please be careful. Look out for each other. Call out negativity, hatred, bullying, or lies. 🫂

I wasn’t initially going to address this, but since entering the HL fandom from the very beginning, I’ve experienced countless disappointments regarding the behaviour of some of its members. There’s an overwhelming sense of elitism, negativity, and, quite frankly, a prevalence of disingenuous "personas."

I’ve encountered individuals I once admired as talented writers/artists, only to be disheartened by their unpleasantness in private interactions. Some project an image of being open and welcoming while simultaneously belittling others in private servers and judging the very things they claim not to judge on Tumblr.

A lot of them actually talk down on fem!MCxSebastian shippers and it’s just like…listen, if you spout “don’t like, don’t read” to everyone who follows you, then stick to your words. Instead, they judge straight shippers. Or go against people who don’t like pro-ship, etc. It’s so toxic.

It’s so sad to witness some of them taking credit for others’ fic ideas, too. Or gatekeeping headcanons to the extent that people are genuinely frightened that they will be hated if they don’t follow them. This is a real thing by the way…just recently someone told me they’d fear being hated by the entire “Sebinis fandom” if they didn't keep to someone's HC. How awful is that? That they have to feel that way?

Perhaps I’ve just been welcomed by the wrong people at first…I feel almost naive to have believed them. Even when I first came into the HL fandom, I was told about the ongoing drama surrounding someone nicking ideas and writing them as their own. Immediately.

What’s more alarming is the apparent existence of a particular clique that seems to orchestrate and encourage this kind of behavior. I’ve talked to them personally and I’m genuinely relieved to have distanced myself from them after becoming suspicious of their words and the utterly abhorrent things they’ve said in various servers.

It’s clear that many would perceive them differently if they were privy to these conversations, even some of the so-called “big names” in the HL fandom. Some already have and are in the same boat as me now.

I’ve met a few genuine and kind individuals here, yet I can’t shake the feeling of mistrust that dominates the fandom. I hope there are others who share this sentiment because, at this point, I’m uncertain how to feel...I am more disappointed than anything.

i sometimes wish tumblr, instead of or alongside showing me plain follower count, would show me the number of people who actively interact with me (in the last month or so)

like i feel like that would be a much more useful and interesting metric to actually understand things through

[slutdge]

queer infighters are so god damn lame man and when you really just see them as the pathetic people they are rather than taking offense to the dumb shit they say, it becomes a lot easier to just move on from it when they target your identity and not get as broken up about it bc i promise you 90% of the queer infighting is contained to terminally online spaces, and if you do encounter it irl, rest assured that is the rare occasion that said terminally online person went outside and other queers will step up to defend you. they need to interact with some queers irl and get a job and maybe theyll calm down. get any sort of hobby thats not scrolling tumblr and tiktok all day every day with the curtains shut.

why is this website becoming relaxed about Jews all of a sudden. Like thank you but also I'm highkey baffled and grossed out by the switch up?

I only say this because the amount of genuinely anti-semetic SHIT that I've seen on this website be posted and reblogged under pro-Palestine posts over the last couple of years has been so vile I'm still thinking about it months later.

To be crystal clear this isn't trying to say that criticism of Israel or zionism is anti-semetic in itself, because there's plenty to discuss, criticise and oppose there as far as I'm concerned. All I wish is people were actually more critical of what they posted and actually focussed on that criticism, rather than making it about Jews as an ethnic group (or whatever you choose to label us that day, to suit your convenience). I know it's a big thing to ask of the "piss on the floor" website crowd but I believe in you.

It's all fine and well that you make a singular post about how you "condemn" anti-semitism in your space while ignoring Jews when they speak up about how they're being legitimately discriminated against during this whole period, posting stuff that literally reads like nazi propaganda with a different face and erasing our own VERY real victimisation and trauma over the course of history to fit your worldview. I'm sorry that it's uncomfortable for you to confront, and I'm sorry that you want to create an oppressor figure you can justify bullying on the internet, and I'm sorry that speaking up about this makes you feel like you're siding with zionism and betraying the cause. I'm sorry that you need tangible "proof" for each individual Jew being "good," rather than just treating us with basic respect for just being human. I'm sorry that it's so hard for leftists on the internet to weed this issue out of their space (don't think the right has any kind of freedom from guilt for this, either, but this post is not about them).

If you actually gave a shit you'd look at the ugly parts of what Jews experience on the internet and in real life in the eye, rather than only acknowledging what you consider to be cute and inoffensive to you. Self advocacy like this should not label me as a zionist and neither should it do to you if you find yourself agreeing with any of this. I hate to break it to you but what you stand for doesn't come at the convenience of erasing the people that give you the ick from it.

The above I'd normally put in tags but I'm sorry y'all are not getting the pleasure of erasing this. Apologise to Jews right now and learn to be normal about us or so help me. I wasn't even gonna type this post out but I got rubbed the wrong way that badly.

I grew up in a zionist household and over the years there was a lot of unlearning and perspective shifting I had to do to get here. The dehumanisation that Arabs/Muslims suffer from zionists at large is very real, and you do get labelled as "lost" or as a "traitor" if you acknowledge how wrong it is. That shouldn't be happening but the opposite is happening on the left atm. We shouldn't be in an environment where one group comes at the cost of the other, but this is what's being encouraged here and I'm sorry but I don't fuck with that.
