#because while i don't agree with what like 99% of how they think society should work

[vamptastic]

ngl tumblr is not good for people with social anxiety because of the tendency for people to purposefully take what you say in bad faith and spin horrible accusations out of it, even when it comes to non-serious discourse. it's like if the devil's advocate that i argue with in my head was a real guy that sends me anon asks. despite being completely insufferable about politics irl and following a lot of blogs that talk about politics and ethics i find i rarely actually post anything about them because the culture on here makes it incredibly difficult for me to not internally misinterpret myself into thinking everything i have to say is stupid and i should only express an opinion if it's totally inconsequential and i'm a PhD level expert on it.

Hey, it's the Yuuta critical Anon.

I was angry when I first saw partial glimpses of the leaks (they were a nasty shock when I first woke up yesterday so sorry if the first ask came out kind of nonsensical.)

However I have since learnt more and I do have to give Yuuta credit for him (and Yuuji) being the only ones alive to consider Gojo's personhood in the series and what he had to deal with as 'the strongest.'

Even Shoko, who is meant to be Gojo's bestie right alongside Geto, has no issues using Kenjaku's technique on Gojo so the sorcerers can continue using Gojo's body as a weapon.

I had thought that Gojo, Geto and Shoko were meant to mirror the Yuuji, Megumi and Nobara friend group but this throws that into doubt and makes her look awful. As I could see Megumi and Nobara vehemently objecting if Yuuji was in Gojo's place here.

Narratively? What does this creative choice add? Nothing. But it detracts everything.

Look at the fandom.

No one is talking of Yuuji's progress anymore or his fight against Sukuna. But not even the story is giving it focus anymore so I cant blame them.

Additionally, it just makes 99% of the cast (really everyone bar Yuuji who wasn't there or Yuuta who objected initially) look cold, bad and or in Gojo's case plain sad. Gojo apparently knowing he would lose / die all along is so OOC considering his previous arrogance and a retcon considering how Mahoraga carried Sukuna in thier fight. But that reasoning is there so the rest the cast do not look worse by adding consent issues into the moral mess of the body snatching because 'Gojo agreed to this if he died.'

TLDR - Tell me if I have my tin foil hat on here, but this feels like Gege dunking on the Gojo fans in the cruelest way while Yuuji gets robbed of the focus he deserves (as the MC!) Especially considering all the progress he has made fighting against Sukuna.

Hi again yuta anon 👋

I found your ask really interesting to be honest because I somewhat agreed with it.

I like the fact yuta consistently acknowledges Gojo and what society has put him through but I really don't like the whole him taking over gojos body after gojos death type of thing. I just hated it. I can see what gege was trying to do but it was horrible wiring decision and I will stick by that opinion especially when he could of done many more things like have kenjaku come back in gojos body and have yuta take Getos CT which I think would of been two very interesting ways to enrich the parallels and contrasts within the series.

To be honest I find it really interesting how gege chooses to portray shoko and her character. I wouldn't call her flimsy but I definitely think that her and Gojo have a horribly strained relationship that fell apart slowly after geto left Jujutsu tech. She does care for him as seen in the chapter before his unsealing and heck even during Gojo Vs sukuna battle she was shown to be smoking a ton of cigarettes and seriously panicking over him. However, shoko like everyone else does seem to see gojos strength more than the real person. Her not saying anything makes sense but just because she didn't say anything doesn't mean that she doesn't care for him. She also at the beginning didn't believe he would die and I don't think we should forget that has been dealing with dead bodies for a long time and since a young age. Shoko just never got to show grief in a traditional sense and is also currently surrounded by other comrades dead and injured bodies. I do however see your point and honestly wish that akutami gave us more of shoko before having moments like this.

Gojo, geto and shoko are indeed supposed to be a parallel of yuji, megumi and nobara. I see and honestly can't help but agree with it considering that megumi and nobara would never agree to yujis body being used like that. Heck I don't think any of them would agree to eachothers bodies being used like that. However, the trio is supposed to contrast the other. Shoko, Gojo and geto genuinely fell apart and gege did highlight some of shokos insecurities of her feeling left out in that trio. This could be interpreted as a gege trying to contrast the two trios🤷‍♀️. Honestly I can't say much about our current trio considering that I want nobara back and that she should of came back but oh well gege.

In all respects I hate the current narrative choice that gege took by bringing back Gojo in such a way and I stand by the fact that he should of stayed dead next to Getos body or that he is possessed by kenjaku and ends up dead next to kenjaku. Also this narrative choice really took away from the true focus of things which I supposed to be MEGUMI AND ITADORI. I swear we didn't get the yuji revelation not too long ago but everyone has seemingly forgotten about it and it's disappointing. I would of liked more focus on yuji and build up considering that I had some trouble with the way his power was revealed and I would of enjoyed some little build ups and hints (I do admit that the series did have some of them but I would of still enjoyed more of them). Then there is megumi, we haven't seen the poor quy since 251 (I think) where he was genuinely crying and telling yuji to give up on him or that he doesn't care anymore. Well we know that now megumi has gone through a lot more and I honestly don't know what gege is going to do with him because it's not looking like he is going to have a good ending. (Megumi deserves better, the hate he gets for simply crying is insane)

I wouldn't call it a RETCON in all honesty I feel like Gojo could of beaten sukuna if sukuna wasn't using mahoraga but him using mahoraga does change a lot of things and considering how easily (well not easily) Gojo was taken down in shibuya by kenjaku that would of put a lot of the cast (whom initially put all of their faith and trust into what they believed to be an unbreakable beacon of power) have some concerns about what they should do if Gojo was to be taken down and killed. Its an unfortunate circumstance but it makes sense. Also this is my opinion but I believe that Gojo wasn't that willing to agree but simply agreed for the sake of his students and giving them a proper chance considering that he was expecting shoko to decline the suggestion.

Tldr: I really don't think you have a tin hat on anon and this could be seen as gege genuinely dunking on Gojo in a horrible way. In all honesty Iam not a huge hater for authors who hate on their characters as long as they do it properly aka properly make the character suffer in a narrative way instead of pulling some bs like this. Also I used to enjoy how gege wrote yujis character at the beginning but Iam honestly developing doubts considering geges writing choices.

GUYS, IT'S TIME FOR ATLAS SIX LIGHTNING HEADCANNONS

Lightning is a magical version of a mortal social media app!

To quote:

"It had been Tristan himself who’d advised the Wessex board to consider investing in Lightning, the magical version of a mortal social media app."

Reina

Running a social media account sounds like a lot of work

She really doesn't care

(secretly runs an account that trash talks different plants)

(her followers think she's joking)

(she's not)

Parisa

Definitely posts pictures of her amazing outfits

Gets a lot of comments from people asking her to step on them

Thinks social media is a great way to find people to amuse her or find those she can sway to give her money

Every once in and while she'll post something really smart and intellectual (this confuses 90% of her followers) (the 10% of followers make fun of their shock)

Has a side account where she reviews mystery novels

Libby

Posts inspirational quotes

Posts self-care check-ins

But the real reason people follow her is that she gets into drama with Nico on a daily basis

Nico

Exists on Lightning to bother Libby

Made a group chat for the Atlas Six, everyone was very resistant to the idea but eventually gave in because he was like 🥺

Posts pictures of himself with captions of how great he is, Gideon always comments on them agreeing, Libby and Max always comment on them disagreeing (Libby being genuinely outraged that he would brag like that and Max just fucking around)

Gets into drama with Libby constantly

(they don't know they're in a murder cult yet)

(Don't worry Callum is here to make everything worse /affec)

Tristan

Has an official professional account where he posts boring stuff, like what he ate for breakfast or something, no one follows him

Has a secret anonymous account where he RANTS endlessly about his rage and sadness etc. (mostly he trashes people he knows, referring to them by the first letter of their name or an emoji)

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FOLLOW HIM ON HIS ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT BECAUSE HIS LIFE IS SO DRAMATIC

They got to witness him ranting about how his "best friend" was cheating on him with his fiancee

They heard him talking about how his father was horrible to him

Then he was like "I joined a secret society" and refused to elaborate

There are ship wars on if AA (Tristan) should date L (Libby), P (Parisa) or C (Callum)

Those that ship him with R (Reina) or N (Nico) don't engage in the ship wars and are chill, they hang out with the poly/mutishippers

Callum found Tristan's anonymous account and recognized it instantly as Tristan, he decided not to say anything and follows him on an alt account

Callum

99% of the time he posts thirst traps to boost his own ego (post-knife scene Tristan comments on them (with his main boring account) pointing out that not only is Callum's body illusioned but also photoshopped)

1% of the time Callum posts concerning things that scare everyone (ex. "There is no fate so final as betrayal. Trust, once dead, cannot be resurrected" or the selfie he took with the hostage Nico and Tristan kidnapped) (how he manages to escape being suspended is beyond anyone)

All of Callum's followers are very confused when he randomly posts something ominous, though some of his fans have started theorizing that based on when Callum posts his concerning shit and when Academic Anonymous complains about "C" that Callum is "C" (especially since his name starts with a C) (especially since Callum's account matches with the personality AA described).

Callum also decides to be a problem on purpose and bothers all of the Atlas Six on social media, they are very close to blocking him

Atlas

Has 70 alternative accounts he uses to subtly manipulate the Atlas Six into doing what he wants

(Has a AA fan account)

(Gushes about AA daily on every account)

(Will cancel you if you ship AA x C)

(Has "C Anti" in his bio)

(He has "AA apologist" in his bio too)

[stfudiscoinfernoed]

1/ I don't know of it's my dysphoria and clinical depression acting up to fuck up my libido, but I'm starting to feel like I might be asexual (as in aromantic asexual, which imo should be the only definition of asexual and everything else is nonsense, but that's another discourse entirely). I don't think trying out labels is bad, in fact, I encourage it and I currently identify as bisexual. So theoretically I am fine with trying out asexual for a while just to see if it fits.

2/ However, I can't stand 99% of the asexual community. I don't want to be assumed cishet inclusionist or any other shitty discourse take. What do you think? Should I try on the label for a bit just to see how it feels? I keep wondering if my feelings would be the same if I managed to medically transition, but since that's a fever dream for me (my country doesn't support trans rights, to put it mildly), I might as well just identify as asexual and be done with it 🤷

I agree that there isn’t anything wrong with trying different labels or changing labels when you realize the one you are using doesn’t fit quite right.

It is harder to find non-inclus asexuals but they are out there, so people making assumptions about your discourse beliefs because of the label you use is just them being shitty and not a reason to not identify as something. If you think using asexual is a good representation of your experiences, than use it.

On the opposing side, there’s also nothing wrong with continuing to identify as bisexual because there is nothing about being bisexual that requires a certain frequency of attraction or intimate relationships.

I personally am not someone who experiences attraction to other very frequently nor do I have a lot of intimate relationships (sexual or romantic). I’ve literally had people tell me I might be ace/aro-spec. I can see why others like me might use those labels but I personally see zero reason to. I don’t feel a community with asexual/aromantic people they I don’t also feel with other people who don’t have a lot of relationship experience and the labels don’t seem relevant to the way I interact with society the way being trans and bi are.

So. Long and the short of it. Want to use asexual as a label? Cool. Don’t? Cool.

Death Of The Bachelor

Chapter 3

After making a round while a coworker ducked back into the kitchen because her tray had been empty, you followed suit because yours had also been depleted. You waited next to her as the bartender made drinks for both of your trays. You checked your emails, hoping to hear about the bid you had placed on an vacant bar close to the one you had been working at.

"Do you know them?" She asked, snapping you back to the present.

"Know who?"

"Bucky and Steve, duh. Like two of the most eligible bachelors in the city." She stated wide eyed.

"Kinda, not really. Steve has been coming to the bar I work at for years, Bucky I just met the other day." You told her, grabbing your tray after it had been filled.

"Hang on, your friends with them, aren't you." She asked, her voice raising a bit. "You could totally introduce me to them."

"I wouldn't call us friends, I don't really know them. And they run in completely different circles then me." You replied with a sigh as you started to walk around her.

"So which is it then? Steve or Bucky?" She pestered on, grabbing her own tray and hoisting it up on her should just like you had.

"Come again?" You questioned turning around after stopping, causing the contents in the glasses to swirl but not spill.

"You can't have both, I get it, they're rich and hot but you have to choose and not be greedy." She snapped back, having to bring up her other hand to the tray to keep it from tipping.

"How about neither. Yes, I'll agree they are both attractive men, but I don't do players. And that's what they are, boys who like see how many women they can sleep with." You told her sternly. "I joke around with them because Steve comes in my bar regularly, I've gotten to know him a bit and as nice of a guy as he is the thought of being a notch on his belt makes me sick, not that I would ever be any of their types. And I highly doubt Bucky is any different, between you, me and the platers we're carrying neither of us would ever stand a chance anyway. We aren't wealthy, aren't famous, and no body knows us. Now if you'll excuse me I have drinks to pass out and so do you."

You didn't wait for her to respond but just walked out the door, rolling your eyes before plastering on a fake smile to please everyone. The party was in full swing, and the boys had taken up talking two blondes in the corner. You were pretty sure they were models, one you had seen Wilson come in with a couple weeks back and just like how she was all over Bucky now she had been all over Sam as well.

More then once you had heard her tell a different friend how she was going to land a wealthy man so she never had to do servants work after she got to old to be a model. A part of you wanted to warn the man what he was getting himself into, but you didn't know him well enough to do that. You bit your bottom lip as you made your around, all but pretty much being invisible to this crowd. That wasn't uncommon either, the staff was just that, over looked as long as the booze kept flowing.

"Y/n, you gotta a whiskey on the tray for me?" Bucky asked with a playful charming smile, the one you had seen him give the paparazzi after you looked him up, as you neared him and Steve.

"Why would I have one on the tray for you?" You jested back, walking closer, the blonde on his arm rolled her eyes as she gave you a once over.

You tried your best not look at her, being that her dress alone costed more then your apartment. It's not that you were jealous by the fact she could throw herself at any guy and get them. It was the fact she was looking down at you already and crinkling her nose up at you.

"He wants a whiskey, you aren't supposed to talk back." She snarked. Bucky looked at her but didn't defend you.

"Just outta luck, I don't have any whiskey." You stated coldly and started to walk away.

"Dude, not cool." You heard Bucky finally say as you were walking away.

"Right, like what makes her think she's all that." The woman said to him in reply.

You rolled you eyes as you continued to walk through the mess of people. A small part of you hated people like this. The way they looked down on the rest of society, but there was another part of you that did feel sorry for them. They didn't know how to be any different, well some of them didn't. Guys like Sam, the owner of the house and the one throwing the party worked his ass off and you remembered when he and Tony got their big break.

"Yo, Y/n!" You heard that all too familiar voice bellow above the rest causing people to look around for the girl Sam Wilson was yelling at. You felt your cheeks flush, you hated that amount of attention being drawn to you.

"Yes." You coyly started slowly turning to look at the man who was currently headed toward you in a confident stride.

"My girl, how the hell have you been?" He asked, engulfing you in a hug despite the tray you held above your head. It teetered slightly but never fell.

"Decent, how have you been? Besides quite well from the looks of things." You chuckled, lowering the tray as he stepped back.

"Amazing, even better seeing your face here. How's the bar?"

"About the same as it always has been." You responded.

"Y/n!" Your boss yelled at you from the backdoor, his stern voice just barely audible above all the noise. You looked over you shoulder and could barely see his red face.

"Shit." You muttered.

"Didn't realize you were working. Sorry." Sam stated, giving you a sheepish look like a kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Always, Wilson. Gotta save up so I can own my bar some day." You replied as you walked away towards the kitchen entrance.

Your boss didn't say two words to you after you entered but motioned for you to follow him towards the very back. He only paused long enough for you to put your tray down and then continued till you both were out of sight. He sighed heavily when he turned to face you.

"I gotta let you go." He dropped on you.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I could look past insulting Hilda, but I've got complaints about you trying to cozy up with some of the patrons. Plus the refusal to serve." He explained and for a moment you just stared at him in disbelief.

"Look, I can understand if you just would rather me leave for the night, not that I did any of what you just said, but to fire me? I've worked with you for how many years? And not once have I ever caused a problem." You retorted, crossing your arms.

"Look, I told everyone how big of a gig this is and unfortunately I won't be used again if I keep you." He told you sternly.

"Says who?"

"Just please, don't make this any harder this it needs to be." He replied walking around you and leaving you standing there.

You dropped your apron on the floor and walked out of the building heading towards your car. You wanted to go back in and make a scene and you could. After all you knew Sam and he was the one throwing the damned party anyway. But then again, you just didn't want to deal with those people or your boss who lacked a backbone.

You also had your integrity, and the bar to think about. If you caused a scene it could backlash into the bar and that you didn't want or couldn't loose. That was where you made most of your money anyway, this was just an added bonus. To hell with this job anyway.

"RESERVATION SYSTEM" – A DISEASE OR REMEDY TO DISEASED SOCIETY ?

WE ARE LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT PROMISE AND EVEN RUN ON IDEOLOGY THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON OF THIS COUNTRY IS EQUAL AND WE ALL SHARE A COMMON GENETIC MATERIAL AT AN EXTENT OF MORE THAN 99%

BUT WHAT IF U COME TO KNOW THAT THESE IDEALS DO NOT WORK IN THE REAL WORLD!

I AM 100 PRCNT FOR SURE THAT YOU WILL AGREE WITH MY POINT.

I M LIVING IN A COUNTRY WHICH IS At AN EXTENT OF REACHING POPULATION mark OF ABOUT 150 CRORES IN NOT MORE THAN A DECADE AS FAR AS ITS POPULATION GROWTH IS CONCERNED

GOING BACK IN HISTORY "MANDAL COMMISSION"

ARTICLE 15 AND 16 EMPOWERED CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE BACKWARD AND NEEDED EMPOWERMENT TO BRING A BALANCE IN SOCIETY(BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT VEHICLE CAN BE RUN ONLY WHEN ALL ITS WHEELS ARE WORKING OK OK!)

NO DOUBT THAT WAS A BRILLIANT STEP TAKEN BY "BUDDHIJIWI" OF INDIAN SOCIETY

PEOPLE WHO WERE AWARDED THESE POLICIES NEEDED THEM BADLY TO GROW AND ACHIEVE THAT SOCIAL STATUS AND BECOME EQUAL TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO TREAT THEM UNTOUCHABLES

SO SOCIETY SPLITEED UNDER 4 CATEGORIES ST, SC, OBC, AND GENERALS

people grew SERVING THESE POLICIES AT A VERY REMARKABLE RATE

BUT WHAT OUR BUDDHIJIWI MISSED - THEY TARGETED ONLY UNTOUCHABLES

DID THEY WERE SO SURE THAT ALL BRAHMIN'S (GENERAL CATEGORY) SON/DAUGHTER ARE WELL SUFFICIENT THAT THEY WILL FOR SURE EARN THAT MUCH MATCHING PAY SCALE NEED TO SURVIVE WITH THEIR BASIC NEEDS?

WERE THEY TOO SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THEY ARE EMPOWERING WILL NOT TURN TO BE ON REVENGE MODE FOR WHAT TREATMENT WAS GIVEN TO THEIR FOR-FATHERS?

DID THEY guaranteed THAT THEIR POLICIES WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO EVERY BACKWARD PERSON LIVING IN REMOTE AREA WHO DID NOT HAVE FACILITY OF BASIC NEEDS available to URBAN SOCIETY(I M TALKING ABOUT ELECTRICITY AND INTERNET) TILL THIS DATE?

DID THEY EVER mention THAT WHAT IF THEIR9 POLICY IS A SUCCESS, WHAT MEASURE WILL THEY TAKE TO DRAW IT BACK AND ASURRING THERE WILL BE NO AGRESSIVE ACTION BY MINORITIES?

ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION IS SIMPLY

NO !!

NOBODY THINK ABOUT IT AND NOBODY WANT TO EVEN DISCUSS IT BECAUSE "VOTE BANK TO INHI SE CHLTA HAI"

IN 2020 WE HAVE (ACC TO STATISTA)

SCHEDULE TRIBES-9%

SCHEDULED CAST(DALITS)-20%

FORWARD CASTE-30%

OTHER BACKWARD CLASS-41%

IN WHICH

22.5% - SC+ST RESERVATION

27% - OBC

10% - EWC

AND REST IS

UNRESERVED!! - MEANS SEATS CAN BE OWNED BY ANY OF THESE ABOVE TOO (50.9% - CAN BE CONSIDERED AS REAL MARK OF TALENT, FOR SOMEONE`S HARD WORKS, DETERMINATION,SACRAFICE,PASSION,ETC)

SO THIS IS REALITY

I M SHARING A STATICS CIRCULATED BY NTA(EXAM CONDUCTING BODY FOR ENGINEERING AND MEDICAL ENTRANCE TEST)

YOU CAN`T SKIP THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THAT pls see it for once

found that!!!!

YES THIS IS THE REALITY (UR)

YOU NEED 600/720 TO TAKE ADMISSION IN GOVT. MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR STUDYING M.B.B.S

(IF YOU ARE CURSED TO HAVE BENEFITS OF UNRESERVED CATEGORY .......LOL!)

BUT IF YOU ARE A CATEGORY STUDENT YOU NEED TO GET AROUND 500/720 (WHAT!!)

YES AND NOBODY WILL EVER ASK YOU THAT HOW MUCH YOUR FATHER EARN, WHICH REPUTED INSTITUTE YOU HAVE TAKEN ADMISSION AFTER GIVING LAKHS OF RUPEES(BUT YOU HAVE BEEN MARKED AS BACKWARD AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU BENIFIT)

(SOUNDS SIMILAR LIKE AN ATHLETE IS GIVEN ADVANTAGE OF COMPLETING A RACE AT 80m and GETTING GOLD MEDAL IN 100M RACE)

YES, WE LIVE IN THIS SOCIETY AND MATTER OF CONCERN WE CAN`T EVEN COMPLAIN BECAUSE "WO LOG DANGA KR DENGE"!!

"YE TO OR BADHANE KI DEMAND KRNE LGTE HAIN!!"(PEOPLE GETTING BENEFITS ARE NOT SATISFIED AND THEY DEMAND MORE PERCENTAGE)

AND ALSO SUPPORTED BY "MURAKH" POLITICIANS OF OUR COUNTRY(BIGGEST MISFORTUNE) AND EVEN DARE TO GO TO SUPREME COURT TO INCREASE THE QUOTA

THANKFULLY NO STATE CAN INCREASE RESERVATION BEYOND 50% IN ALL GOVERNMENT ADMISISSIVE AND WORKING DEPARTMENTS

PEOPLE TALK ABOUT NAZI`S , BLACK LIFE MATTER, ETC BUT HAVE THEY EVEN WROTE OR RAISED THEIR VOICE ON THIS ISUUE

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PERSON POSTING ANYTHING ON THIS MATTER ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM

"GHAR ME LGI AAG KO BUJHANE KI FURSAT KISI K PAS NHI H"

THEY LOVE TO POST ABOUT WHAT`S ALL HAPPENING IN WEST(NEVER MIND - THEY MIGHT BE LIVING IN WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA)

YES GENERAL CANDIDATE SPEAKS BUT ONLY WHEN THEY GET AFFECTED

NO ONE CAN IMAGINE A PAIN WHEN YOU MISS YOUR SELECTION BY FRACTION OF PERCENTILES AND YOUR COMPETITOR IS ALREADY A WINNER WHILE YOU HAVE SCORED TWICE OF HIS TOTAL SCORE (MAYBE I SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT BUT BELIEVE ME I HAVE SEEN THIS THING IN REALITY)

NO DOUBT PAST WAS VERY BRUTAL BUT MAHATMA GANDHI ONCE SAID

"ANKH KE BADLE ANKH SARI DUNIYA KO ANDHA BNA DEGI"(EYE FOR AN EYE WILL MAKE WHOLE WORLD BLIND)

THERE ARE EVEN CASES IN INDIA WHERE PEOPLE STOPPED USING THEIR SURNAMES BECAUSE of "BABU" IN GOVT. OFFICE WILL NOT LET THEIR(general category) FILES AND DOCUMENT GO FOR FURTHER PROCEDURE

DID THOSE "BUDDHIJIWI" EVER IMAGINED OF THIS SITUATION ?

I CAN GUARANTEE THAT MORE THAN 50% OF TOTAL POPULATION OF CATEGORY(ST/SC) WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND ALSO A LARGE PERCENT OF THAT POPULATION EVEN CAN`T ACCESS MY CONTENT

SO WHERE ARE ITS BENEFITS?

YES WE HAVE SEEN A GOOD DEVELOPMENT IN MINORITY SECTION OF OUR SOCIETY BUT STILL, A LARGE FRACTION IS STILL UNKNOWN OF THESE BENEFITS

"YHA SIRF RAJA KA BETA HI RAJA BAN RHA HAI"

The MAIN IDEA BEHIND THIS SYSTEM IS NOT SUCCESSFUL AND WILL NEVER BE COMPLETED BECAUSE OF FAULTS OF OUR SYSTEM

I'm NOT AGAINST RESERVATION SYSTEM BUT MY MAJOR CONCERNS ARE

1. WHERE IS MY RIGHT OF EQUALITY

2. WHY THERE IS RESERVATION FOR SYSTEM FOR PROMOTION ( EVEN THEY ARE GIVEN JOBS FOR FACT THAT THEY JUST BELONGING TO A MINORITY CATEGORY)

3. WHEN THEY HAVE SCHOLARSHIP SCHEMES FOR STUDENTS THEN WHY DO THEY ARE OFFERED WITH RESERVATION

AND WHEN I TRY TO FIND MY ANSWERS I SIMPLY END AT CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS MY "MISFORTUNE"

I SHOULD NOT BE LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT JUDGED ON BASIS OF THEIR TALENT BUT BASIS

"ISKA BAAP KON JAT KA HAI"

YES, THIS MAY SOUND VERY RUDE ON MY PART BUT THIS IS REALITY !!

AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THESE ARE YOUR WORDS TOO INSIDE BUT YOU ARE VERY USED TO THIS THAT IT RARELY BOTHERS YOU

BUT IT MATTER WHEN YOU APPLY FOR JOBS OR ADMISSIONS

SO WHAT WE CAN DO

1. UNRESERVED CANDIDATE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE TO STAND FOR THEMSELF AND HAVE TO RAISE THEIR VOICE

2. COMMON PEOPLE SHOULD REALISE THAT ONGOING SITUATION MAY LEAD TO EVEN MORE DRASTIC SITUATION AS MORE POPULATION WILL KEEP ON ADDING

3. RESERVATION FOR PROMOTIONS SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR SURE

4. CANDIDATE WHOSE FATHER/MOTHER IS IN GOVERNMENT SECTOR SHOULD NOT GET BENEFITS OF RESERVATION

5. LIMITING THE CRITERIA OF RESERVATION PERCENTAGE

6. MAINTAINING THE CRITERIA FOR TRANSGENDERS AND P.H (YES! THEY ALSO HAVE RIGHT TO STAND EQUALLY IN SOCIETY)

7. SCHOLARSHIP SCHEMES FOR STUDENTS( ON BASIS OF THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS NOT ON BASIS OF CASTE SYSTEM

8. NO ELECTORAL CANDIDATE CAN USE "JAATI" AS A TOPIC FOR COMPETING ELECTION AND IT SHOULD BE MONITERED AND STRICT PUNISHMENTS IF FOUND GUILTY

9. SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP SCHEMES FOR EMERGING STUDENTS OF ST/SC/ OBC CANDIDATES

10. IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN GOVT. SCHOOLS WITH PROPER MONITORING OF TEACHERS ADMITTED TO SCHOOL

11. COMPULSION OF GOVT. EMPLOYEES TO SEND THEIR CHILD TO NEARBY GOVT. SCHOOL FOR AT LEAST TERM OF 12 YEARS(THIS WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION AUTOMATICALLY.😂..............LOL!!)

THE RESERVATION SYSTEM INSTEAD, BE FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC BACKWARDNESS IN PLACE OF SOCIAL BACKWARDNESS

CONCLUDING MY BLOG I WOULD LIKE TO SAY

"AGR CHEZIEN FREE ME BANT DI JYE TO VALUE KM HO JATI HAI ISLIYE LOGO KO MEHNAT SE CHEZIEN KMANE K OR MAUKE DENE ME HI SAMJHDARI HAI"

AND YES INDIA DON'T NEED RESERVATION SYSTEM FOR "MENTALLY HANDICAPED" PEOPLE

Many ST/SC CANDIDATE HAVE SERVED THIS NATION WITHOUT USING THAT TAG AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR POTENTIAL,HARDWORK AND STRUGGLE.WE ALL ARE INDIANS AND WE ALL HAVE GOOD QUALITY OF BRAIN(NO DOUBT)

If this system is not iradicated from our society then we must be prepared for UPCOMING CIVIL WAR in this country because 60% population of this country is youth and no body could even imagine the enormous amount of anger they carry with them against this SYSTEM when they face a type of injustice

JAI HIND, JAI BHARAT

[monster--boyfriend]

I won’t keep track of all those questions if I read through them all, so let’s see what questions we get when I ask you to do multiples of 11.

11. Do you think you have a particularly unique view on life?

I think I do but also that's probably because I keep it to myself a lot of the time so I'm not sure if or how many people would agree with me. To put it as simply as possible despite everything I'm overall a long term optimist and I believe in a potential for good things.

22. Do you want children? Why or why not?

I really do. I thought I didn't for years, then I realized that I did but I didn't think I should be allowed to have them. Now I think I should be allowed to have them but that I can't until I'm more financially stable and I don't know if I ever will be.

But I want to raise kids, raise people as I saw someone put it. I want to be able to take in children or have children, and care for and raise them so they can be happy and healthy adults, be someone they can depend on. And I don't even feel like I want kids to somehow like, keep my family name going? It's more like I personally feel like I can and want to contribute to society as a whole by caring for and readying the next generation.

33. What are your predictions for the next few years? Or tomorrow, even?

I think 2023 is going to be another slow year for me. After I just fucked up my knee again on Saturday I feel like surgery for that is inevitable. Then I'm supposed to have top surgery something in fall 2023. So for next year at least, I think it will be another year of healing.

44. What's your pettiest "dealbreaker" in a relationship or friendship?

I don't think any of my dealbreakers are petty. I think having a standard, any standard, is fair. If something is a dealbreaker then it is such for a reason and if you try to ignore it because it's 'petty' then it could just become something you resent so much that in the end it will drive you apart anyway.

55. What reminds you of your childhood?

Most distinctly the smell of Van Houtte brand Vanilla Hazelnut coffee. It always takes me back to a different time and place. Particularly the smell of it outside in the morning.

The gas station on the corner near our house sold that brand for years and I would go over there and get mom and I coffee some mornings when there was none in the house. Usually after staying up all night so I was awake anyway. I know it wasn't technically childhood the way people think of it because I was probably 18/19/20 years old but something about that period of my life feels a bit like my childhood.

66. If you are gay, did you struggle to accept your sexuality? Would you change it if you could?

I think I struggled more with accepting that I wasn't Just A Lesbian more than I ever struggled with being not straight. Accepting my sexuality was tied directly to accepting my gender which was hard to nail down. I also had to deal with some outside forces trying to put me in to specific boxes of what I was allowed to be according to their opinion. So while being Not Straight was easy to approach and accept, being not A Lesbian was strangely difficult to accept.

77. How long can you go without socializing?

I suppose that depends on what you consider socializing. If you mean keep to myself and speak to no other people by any means of communication, then not long at all. If I'm completely alone in the house all day I will at some point speak to someone of my own accord. I don't do well if I don't have someone nearby, physically or via text messaging in some way, to reach out to. I need low key constant validation that I have worth in peoples lives. It's the mental illness. As far as going out and hanging out with people? I can put that off for weeks. Though that is mostly because I don't have many local friends at all.

88. What's an unusual but useful trait or talent you have?

I've mentioned before but I'm very good at navigating as long as I'm not underground.

99. Do you enjoy "slice of life" media?

I really do but they have to also have some kind of story? If it's JUST slice of life, I tend to get a little bored? I miss when shows had more filler episodes I guess, I want there to be breathing room. I want that down time.

Those were all actually really interesting questions, especially since you didn't really pick any just gave me a grouping

(part 1) ur gonna roast me for this but im legit curious why mafia AUs are so bad? im asking in a non confrontational way, i get it romanticizing mafia is wrong, but i also believe that 1)most mafia AUs are a really toned down type of mafia;2)they do make for some interesting kinds of dynamics with fanart and with fics; 3)in a fic specifically u can create your own world and call something mafia and still make it so they don't kill innocent people but only idk members of other gangs or sth

(part 2) plus theyre a way to put ur charas in a completely diff context and see what theyll do. i mean i dont believe that writing ships in a certain context (like mafia) equals romanticizing that context. mafia AUs arent even my fav things to read (in fact i almost never do), im sure many ppl romanticize it and i obvs dont agree with that but im just trying to udnerstand bc i believe fandoms are a way to explore things that we normally wouldnt.

I’m not gonna roast you don’t worry xD okay wait let me check if I replied to this already if yes I’m gonna c/p because it’s half past midnight otherwise I’ll just go at it again wait *checks tags* fff obviously I don’t have a general post but anyway pls read this after you’ve done with my post and then this which is also choke-full of links. plus for a (not nice) laugh: here. AH WAIT I FOUND THE POST.

okay, so, let’s have it out of the way: I have nothing against mob aus or crime aus. I have a problem against calling them mafia AUs because in the US mafia = organized crime at large, in Italy mafia = ACTUAL EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ACTIVELY HARMFUL. now that I introduced the topic I’ll c/p you the reply I gave to another anon who while discussing the issue pointed out that most writers don’t even know Italian mafia is a thing, which is pretty much on the same discourse so...

*The thing is - in the US it might not be enough of a deal anymore and I honestly do get why people make the mafia = regular mobsters, since the mafia was the first foreign organized crime being exported to the US via italian immigrants (sorry if this sounds horrible in English but I just woke up and I still didn’t have coffee) so I understand that mafia became the umbrella term.But the thing is that - as you said, these people don’t even know that there’s a mafia in Italy anymore or where the word comes from.

 I’m going to link to italiansreclaimingitaly’s tag about the mafia and its perception outside Italy because they posted about this extensively and it’s an excellent resource, but meanwhile I’m gonna do a very short bullet point list and about the topic:

Mafia might not be a big deal in the US, but it still is here. We have the beauty of four different mafias (Cosa Nostra - the Sicilian one, camorra which is the one in Campania but has tendrils spread everywhere, the 'ndrangheta which is in Calabria and the Sacra Corona Unita in Puglia) which are all active [especially camorra and 'ndrangheta] and whose actions have direct impact (negative) on our economy and on our society. Actually mafias are one of the main reasons we’re currently economically fucked up, and if I start talking about how mafia culture keeps some areas literally backwards I could talk about it for three months.

There are still people who are killed for standing up against them. These days the most prominent personality is Roberto Saviano who is a writer who dared to put together a book documenting minutely the way camorra works and he’s been living under protection for years by this point. Like, they want him dead because he wrote a book. And I’m sorta sure that he was talking about leaving Italy and going to the US after years of sticking with it here because he can’t take it anymore but I don’t know if it was a taken decision or if it’s still debating it.

It wasn’t even thirty years ago that we had the stragi di mafia - in english it’d be something like the mafia slaughters, basically around the beginning of the nineties there were a number of bombs planted by the mafia targeting people who were trying to oppose it including judges Falcone and Borsellino, actually the anniversary of Falcone’s death is like... tomorrow. And they’ve killed people for way longer than that. Here is a list of only Cosa Nostra victims including the ones from the eighties/nineties. And people are still dying because of it. The slaughters I’m referring to are just the ones in the nineties which are enough of a number.

They also perpetuate a culture where if you testify against your mafia-employed relatives you’ll be shunned forever. There are women who testified against their families and couldn’t see their children anymore never mind that they weren’t automatically considered a relative anymore the moment they sided against the mafia. Some people have committed suicide after becoming witnesses also because our police force/justice system can be terribly non-supportive in this kind of situation so they got left on their own. Never mind that back in the day - it was the beginning of the nineties? - I recall at least a particular story of - I think, correct me if I remember wrong but I can’t remember the names for the life of me - where this guy testified against the local mafia when he either used to work for them or was forced to pay them the pizzo and in retaliation his six-year old (or five? Anyway he had a son younger than ten for sure) got kidnapped, killed and thrown into acid to dispose of the body. That happened in what, 1993? 1994? It’s pretty much yesterday. And now the camorra is doing the same - there’s a list here of camorra victims among which accidental passerbys that got killed because they were in the way which I can tell just by glancing is not complete. And I’m not even going into the 'ndrangheta. That is to say, here mafia still kills people and cripples our country.

Now, I get that it’s a word, but the point was: let’s say that instead of the Italians the Japanese came to the US first and the umbrella word for organized crime was yakuza rather than mafia and let’s say yakuza was still what it was originally in Japan while in the US it stopped being a big deal and people write yakuza!AU instead of mafia AU. Let’s say someone Japanese gets angry at that and goes like 'listen the yakuza is a real deal it does this this this and that and it’s a plague in our country so can you please at least look it up before writing your fanfic’, which is what had happened way back then when this whole mafia and fanfic thing blew up. A bunch of people told us to get over it because it’s just a word and if it’s a problem in Italy it’s not in the US so why should they care? Now, if we had been Japanese (or Chinese or Russian or Mexican) would they have said the same thing? Considering the general tumblr attitude I’m pretty sure they would have received either an apology or 'this is an important deal let’s keep that in mind’ with signal boost reblogs and stuff. 

It’s the fact that we should get over people not knowing that it’s still a real problem for us and that they can’t take five seconds to google it that is the problem imo. Especially when instead of mafia au you can just say mobsters au or tag it as organized crime and everyone is a lot happier, mostly because as the tag above explains romanticising the mafia is a good thing for them because it means they can act outside Italy with less stigma because everyone thinks that the mafia is dead or not relevant anymore, if I’m explaining myself. (And it’s active outside Italy - like, there was a mafia kill in Germany in 2007 where six people died (sorry the link is in Italian but there isn’t an English wiki page, if you look the city up you’ll find something probably) and it was because of the 'ndrangheta.

I’d really like to not get worked over it because it meant it was a thing of the past y'know, but the problem is that it isn’t and I’d rather spread some awareness in hope some of these writers look it up (because it’s a good thing that people know what mafia is since as stated they have tendrils everywhere - if you read Saviano’s book the entire first chapter is about how camorra regularly deals with Chinese import/export in Italy for one) than shrug and figure that since they’ll think everything is good for fanfic then it’s not even worth my time.*

Now, ^^^ that was the c/p-ed reply that should answer most of your doubts. What I didn’t address was:

im sure many ppl romanticize it and i obvs dont agree with that but im just trying to udnerstand bc i believe fandoms are a way to explore things that we normally wouldnt.

aaaand as we say here in Italy, this is where the donkey falls (sorry we have weird sayings), because in theory there’s nothing wrong with that... except that in 99% of the mafia aus I’ve seen around the thing is that they’re supposed to be cute.

like, I see a lot of shit with TINY MAFIA BOSS STEVE ROGERS with RUSSIAN ENFORCER BUCKY (????? bucky isn’t even russian???) and the yoi thing I saw before had the japanese character being the leader of a russian mafia gang which is... like... guys it doesn’t happen it really doesn’t, and a lot of them re-use wrongly terminology taken from the godfather without context or knowing what the hell it means, and it’s always from the criminals’ pov and they’re somehow seen as criminals doing justice where the police can’t (???) and like... no. mafia bosses/enforcers/employees are bad people period, and at least here if you try to leave or repent they kill your family in retribution. like, not even ten years ago there’s been a woman who used to belong to a mafia family (or one colluded with the mafia) who testified and her entire town/family shunned her and she couldn’t take it anymore and... killed herself drinking acid if I don’t recall wrong. it’s not even special cases. this shit is not funny, it’s not cute, it’s not adorable and it’s not good fodder for your imagine your otp scenario (srsly I saw one like.. let me find it,

LIKE. just look at this shit. in a regular context, the enforcer goes to the show owner to force them to pay a monthly sum to their boss lest they destroy their shop and their lives and their family’s life never mind that mafia culture is deeply homophobic so the mafia enforcer flirting with the shopkeeper is like completely fucking out of the question. I mean, people here like to shit on the sopranos but that show was actually excellent representation of Horrid Criminals Who Were Never Supposed To Be Good People and the small arc that happened when one of tony’s friends turned out to be gay (closeted) was REALLY well done. btw, it ended that when they found out he was gay most of the crowd rejected him and thought badly of him until I think they killed him also for other reasons, but that spiraled from finding out he liked dick. and that’s american mafia that they actually based on well-done research of the culture in Italy it came from, I assure you that here it doesn’t work that differently. like. the shit above is so inaccurate and frankly offensive, it’s like... I get people romanticizing problematic stuff but the thing is that when you tell them that it’s actually offensive you get brushed off as ‘ah well you’re being too sensitive it’s just a word u__u’. now, I’m all for exploring shit we wouldn’t be into, but not like THAT, because that’s like mafia romantic comedy and that’s not how it works. now, you wanna do a fic where the mafia characters are deeply flawed and bad people and the police tries to catch them? fine, great, go ahead. you wanna do a fic where the enforcer above deals with dunno an entire life of internalized homophobia when he finds the shopkeeper attractive and feels conflicted over having to con money out of him and doing horrible shit for a living and maybe understanding that crime isn’t worth it and then he actually collaborates with the police and gets shit from about everyone he knows and loves for that? okay, awesome, go ahead. nothing bad in that.

but the shit above is not exploring things we wouldn’t/writing darkfic, it’s THINKING THAT A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION WHICH IS STILL A THING IN OUR PART OF THE WORLD IS CUTE AND ADORABLE. and that only plays in their favor because it takes the bad aura out of the word and we really should not let that happen. like. that is what is bad about mafia aus and mafia discourse, that people don’t realize the mafia is alive and well and thriving and not a thing that doesn’t exist or a generic word for organized crime.

you wanna write the shit above? okay, CALL IT CRIME AU or mob au, not mafia au.

btw, add-on: idk if I mentioned it in the above post or not, but in case I didn’t, I said that people would balk at the idea of a mexican cartel au. sadly since then I’ve found out a fandom where not only there is one but it’s also extra cutesy and people apparently love it and it has a bunch of kudos/comments and idek I’m not even touching that with a ten foot pole but like... I’ve avoided it and everything that author wrote because to me it’s just... nope. like, nope. if you do mafia aus don’t make them fucking cute. (also: in the same fandom I had to mute a v. famous fanartist whose art I actually liked but did cutesy mafia aus and.. like... haahahhaahahahahaha nah sorry. can’t go there. nope.)

"The erasure of women"

I think this is a topic that a lot of people are really terrified to touch on especially if they both support women and trans people. Fact of the matter is actual trans people who have been diagnosed make up less than 2% of the entire world population. And while I don't think that that makes them less important than anyone else, I do believe that we are in the process of erasing many different languages and fundamental norms that adhere to most of society. The problem with language, is that it can't always be absolutely inclusive. Not only will it not be typically, but not often.

I've been watching people try to push this narrative that trans women are women. But I don't agree on principle. And the reason being is because the dictionary definition of what a woman is, is an adult human female. Female as described is a few things one is a living entity with XX chromosomes and the ability to give birth in almost all cases. Not counting rare cases and not counting abnormalities.

The bigger issue here is the NEED people seem to have to make biological sex "a social construct", which is as anti science as it gets. More over then that, I've seen people say there are no differences between biological men and women. Which if that's to be believed, then why does "trans" even exist? Look. I support trans people. And I'm no feminist. The issue is based on the video. At what point do we stop for a second and realize we are erasing 50% of the population, for maybe 2%. And more over why have we pushed to "normalize" it to the point that the therapy and hormones are no longer covered under insurance. The reason people say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" is because smart people try to do things either for themselves or others, pass it off as a great idea, use sentiment to push for it, and no matter the outcome they end up happy because they can signal their "proper" virtue to everyone else. Even when their action (often) poorly affect those they were aiming to "help".

Fact is, gender dysphoria it's a mental illness. It's one that requires therapy often to get over. When neo progressives got the WHO to remove it as a mental illness because "as an illness it's sigmatized" it screwed over a lot of actual trans people. Not these trans tender lunatics. And now we are trying to erase women in sports and physical accomplishments. Honestly believing that doesn't make you a "terf". It makes you someone who is able to see issues with what's going on. Biological women have their own sports and unique physical competitions for a reason. And the biggest LIE told by most activists is, "all descent against ANYTHING I believe is transphobia". Which is false. Transphobia IS a hate of trans people. Criticism of a movement is not. And frankly? I've had it with people expanding definitions just to shut others up. It's disgusting.

Either way. You don't have to agree with me, but it doesn't make you right. This is a complicated issue and not one that's easy to solve. But if this is also it's own trolly problem. Do you sacrifice 5 people to save 1? Or do you sacrifice 1 to save 5? A sane person in 99/100 instances of that would sacrifice the one to save the 5. Radical activists? They'd sacrifice the 5. In no world should that be your default.

And before I get someone going, "oh well if the 5 people were Nazis-" That's clearly NOT what I'm saying. I mean, worse than that, I see a lot of people online dating crap like "I hate strait people" or "I hate cis people". So you hate over 98% of the WORLD POPULATION, in one instance and 88% (possibly more) in the other. And why? Because you or someone you know it's different? And what does that hate do? Oh I can tell you easy; it spreads hate. And more over you justify any hate you or others get by participating in it.

It's time we start being able to talk about this. It's time people stop getting shut down for just wanting a dialogue. Time to also stop just using "terf" and "transphobic" to halt people whom are concerned about stuff like women's sports. Or the people concerned about telling a 2y/o they are trans. THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW THAT! Honest to goodness? A lot of the modern trans activist community are honest to goodness misogynists. Some even self hating. This new Critical Theory shit needs to stop. Because I'm really done with this idea we have to fuck over and shame the vast majority of people for the sake of the very few. These assholes would sacrifice scientists who cure diseases, even one who cures cancer, mother's, father's, children, babies, just to save one trans person. I'm sorry but if that's how you think I'm not even sorry telling you to move to an island alone and get off my rock.

Biological women deserve to hold records for sports and physical activities. They also deserve to not get literally beaten in MMA, boxing, etc by a biological man 3 times their size who realized they were "trans" when they couldn't make the men's team, and now they will be popular and famous because they will have zero competition except for other trans women, and they will be applauded and awarded just for saying they are trans. "So brave, so bold, so amazing, and now a world record holder. Omg I'm so happy because biocidal women don't deserve medals or awards. They aren't special".

That's how you all fucking sound. And if you are trans and not like that, or an activist and not like that fine. This is directed at those who ARE like this. Of which there are PLENTY.
