#bullies are cowards

[anotherisodope]

Online life hack

One thing that has seriously contributed to my sense of peace and my enjoyment of my time online is doing everything I can to make sure that people cannot contact me anonymously.

As an example, prior to turning off my anon options on Tumblr, I was dealing with at least a few nasty letters including suicide baiting every single week. The perps seem to have mostly been Antis, antifeminists/male supremacists, and (oh the irony) Tumblr’s particularly virulent breed of radfems. None of these have sent even one single note to me since I turned off anon. Not one.

Bullies are cowards. Tumblr bullies know deep down that they are being horrible, toxic dicks, and they don’t want their actions associated with their online identities. Otherwise they have to deal with the consequences of being shit-tier human beings where people can see it.

Sure, they could go create a throwaway account or something to cover their asses. However, most of them are lazy as well, or too out of their heads with buttrage to do something like that when they want to attack.

My point is, why make it convenient for online bullies to come after you without risk of consequences? Turn off anon access if you’re being targeted by online bullies. Chances are, the nasty notes in your inbox will dwindle significantly. It seems like such a simple thing, but many people don’t think of this, and for me, it’s made a huge difference.

you guys are so afraid of “loosing riize” you don’t realize we kind of already lost them.

Wonbin is covering his whole face. Sungchan wanted to run away from the cameras. Shotaro, who is always cheerful and respectful, didn’t even addressed the filmmaker. Sohee CRIED.

the boys look MISERABLE. they aren’t happy with this and if we, as a fandom, don’t do something about it when THEY OBVIOUSLY CAN’T, what are we for?

I DON’T WANT TO LOOSE RIIZE, but the feeling is that I already did. there’s no resemblance of the seven guys who had warm smiles and hearts and wanted to grow together and realize dreams with us.

part of the fandom actually DESTROYED their dream and the other part is giving no fucks about it. we aren’t rise and realizing shit for ages now.

my blood boils thinking that the guys are in the hands of the psychotic bitches that sent funeral wreaths for a 21-year-old and a company that doesn’t care shit about their mental and physical well-being.

not to mention how Sohee and Eunseok are both on their radar now, and they want to attack each and every one of them, bully them until there’s no one. Anton is already being harassed on social media, too. It’s not the next idol who’ll be under attack, it’s OUR IDOLS. the same guys, the same group.

they are overworked, tired and sad. SM didn’t even have the decency to postpone or cancel their schedules.

and yet you’re still afraid about how they feel if we boycott? they already feel like shit. and you’re doing nothing about it, congratulations!

Half of this community needs to grow the hell up I fucking swear

As someone who also lost their dad suddenly, and who was gone for a better part of a year for it, I feel like I have a broader perspective here and I just want to say

Half of you are fucking trash, and the ones that are sending this racist, transphobic, bigoted bullshit are worse than trash, literal fucking horse shit

This is a community surrounded around THIRSTING OVER PNGs

And you turn it into this? Why? Does it make you feel big? Does it give you a little power high to gang up on people for the sake of your little queen bee? Driving people and other content creators away? Mother fuckers, go touch grass, for real, this is pathetic

And those who should but aren't condemning this behavior (You know who you are) should feel ashamed, I'm absolutely disgusted by this behavior.

And to all my POC, Trans, LGBTQ+, & ND babes, know this is 100% a safe place for all of you, if I EVER see any of that shit coming out of MY community you know I will slap that shit down in a heartbeat, AS ANY FUCKING CONTENT CREATER SHOULD

Guy in the men's room at the library today got Big Mad that I came in to use the stall. He kept saying, "This is the men's bathroom" and "I know I'm a man; I was born with a dick" and various other transphobias. Kept talking shit to the point that I couldn't focus on peeing & getting out of there.

I finally yelled at him to shut the fuck up in my deepest, butchiest voice. He was arguing with me, saying he needed to shit (he had been standing talking to himself in front of the mirror before I came in, so I sorta doubt it). I told him to leave me alone so I could use the restroom. Or that he could use the women's bathroom himself. Thankfully, I'd texted my partner, who came in to help. A librarian also got involved. And this guy kept saying that I was harassing him and that I'd looked like a girl when I walked in. He threatened to call the cops (but didn't). The librarian told him he had to leave, and after some arguing with them, he finally did so. I'm very thankful I had support and allies around me.

So, idk where this fabled male privilege that I supposedly have was in that moment. Maybe it was hiding in my long hair. Maybe I left it home with the binder I barely ever use. Maybe my beard and voice weren't enough to make me pass. Maybe it was too high for me (a whole 5 foot nothing) to reach when I needed it. Or maybe, just maybe... people clock me as trans and therefore my would-be male privilege is extremely conditional based on how much I'm able or willing to conform to the gender binary (which I have no interest in doing).

The thing is, most bullies are cowards. Bullies are Trump's main audience.

All Trump's threats of violent uprisings have failed utterly when he's been arrested or indicted.

Why?

Because those right wing people don't want to get arrested and thrown in jail, like happened on January 6th.

Or they don't want to be shot by the police.

DARBY ALLIN pinning THE HOUSE OF BLACK ( All Out 2022 / Dynamite, 25.01.2023 / WrestleDream 2024 )

[grits-galraisedinthesouth]

Frogmore Cottage was NOT a "WEDDING GIFT"

No matter how many times Omit & MEgain have printed otherwise, Frogmore Cottage was NOT a wedding gift.

Along with Sparry's RENT FREE Cottage, The Meghans leased a house near Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds; however in their envious eyes, The Meghans always deserve the same as the future Kings of England: Princes William & baby prince George----both of whom lived at Nottingham Cottage without complaint. The difference: William & Catherine WAITED. They were in true love with one another as opposed to madly lusting after some fantisists idea of "royalty."

After the rushed wedding, Sparry & bride (neither of whom had ever owned a home) were not gifted a new HOUSE from the BRF. To rectify the situation, master manipulator MEgain immediately fell megnant and hired drones to invade their Cotswolds privacy.

Spoilt Sparry immediately demanded a "safer" home close to London (and away from the fishbowl) to protect the privacy of his megnant bride. William helped secure the home renovation project at Frogmore Cottage.

According to MEgain's multiple alias accounts, she was insulted by the BRF's offer to renovate Frogmore Cottage. Perhaps she had her green eyes set on an apartment at Windsor castle or at Frogmore House. She certainly felt entitled to reside in a REAL PALACE, not another refurbished old cottage. "...no one would ever believe it."

"Our FOREVER Home"- said MEgain the LIAR

The same LIAR who strategically invited NOprah into Nottingham Cottage after the wedding so she could play the role of VICTIM. "Look at poor me: The black princess forced to reside in this poor cottage."

The same LIAR who invited Serena, hubby (pink shirt) & paparazzi to polo and into their "rented" Cotswolds diggs to gain sympathy for the plight of the poor victimized black princess whose husband was only allotted $4million/year and whose new bride was forced to live without palace servants. "...she's the most courageous person I know." -said Serena Williams

"The Royal Family Owes ME!"

I've often thought that sex with Sparry must have been an unbearable experience for MEgain. For a woman who owned nothing, to suddenly expect that she was entitled to so much for so little. All she did was enter into a rushed marriage contract with #6-----she was a foreigner and a complete stranger to the BRF. She must have loathed every minute of sexy time with #6. Someone who was so desperately distracted by the very thought of a global platform, she forgot to consider the low IQ quality of Sparry's drug addled sperm.

MEgain-If you want the world to STOP thinking of you as a ho, then stop living by pay to play principles. Make something of yourself. Go to graduate school, law school, or community college and develop a set of honorable skills, then you can engage in honorable WORK. Curate a life out of hard work instead of your quid pro quo sexual contracts for services rendered.

Bullies often fold when you stand up to them. Their bluster is a cover for their true inner cowardice.

An "oh no what am I going to watch after Fellow Travelers is done?" List

When I first saw the trailer for Fellow Travelers I was disappointed because it looked predictable. Turns out it wasn't nearly as predictable as I thought, and is actually quite good. But then I got to thinking...why not share a list of series and movies that folks might be interested in watching once Fellow Travelers is done airing.

If you want to see more about McCarthyism, Roy Cohn and the Lavender Scare:

Bully. Coward. Victim. (2019) and Where's My Roy Cohn? (2019) - Both of these documentaries focus on the life of Roy Cohn, from his time at the McCarthy hearings, to his time as the Studio 54 lawyer, to his work during the Reagan era and his eventual death from AIDS. Where's My Roy Cohn? also focuses in on Roy Cohn's working relationship with Donald Trump. "Bully. Coward. Victim. was produced by the granddaughter of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and as such, it also focuses more on the lasting impact of Cohn's role in their executions. There's a lot of overlap between the two documentaries, but I think they're both worth watching if you can.

If you want to see more stories of gay men in the 1950s:

Against the Law (2017) - This is a biopic about Peter Wildeblood, a man who was put on trial for homosexuality and who, remarkably, acknowledged that he was gay during the trial. This trial and Wildeblood's later actions, are considered pivotal in the movement toward decriminalizing homosexuality in the UK. The movie takes place mostly in the 1950s and, again, deals with queer men trying to find love in a time in which laws, social norms, etc. made it exceedingly difficult to do so. The drama is interspersed with interviews in 2017 with real queer men who were alive at the time of the trial.

--

If you want to see more stories of ruthless politicians trying to hide that they're gay:

A Very English Scandal (2018) - As the title suggests, this miniseries takes place in the UK. It's based on a true story...even the more outlandish moments. Jeremy Thorpe (Hugh Grant) is a career politician who's been hiding that he's gay for decades. He's developed a ruthlessness and callousness to his own situation and he, predictably, treats everyone around him as disposable. Then along comes Norman Scott (Ben Whishaw), a young man who Thorpe is instantly attracted to. But Scott struggles with self-acceptance and mental health issues, and Thorpe has no compassion nor patience for any of that. The result is a dark comedy about this doomed relationship alongside the change to the law in the UK to decriminalize homosexuality.

--

If you want to see more stories of queer folks in the 1980s:

It's A Sin (2021) - This is a miniseries that follows a group of queer folks during the 1980s in London. It's all about their search for love and finding themselves and whatnot, even as they are forced to deal with HIV and AIDS. It's a good show that is worth a watch, especially if you haven't seen much else about being queer in the '80s.

--

Angels in America (2003) - Of course Angels in America was going to end up on this list. It is one of the definitive pieces of fiction on living in New York during the AIDS crisis. The play was originally performed in 1991...just four years after AZT was approved for use in the US to treat HIV and AIDS. It's big, and complex, and as much about the state of the U.S. at the time as it is about these individual characters and their lives. Also, Roy Cohn shows up, working as a political operative for Reagan. It really is, as it's subtitle says, "A Gay Fantasia on National Themes."

Richie holding himself like this as an automatic reaction whenever he's stressed or being bullied because he's self conscious about his overactive sweat glands, but when the guys stop bullying him he doesn't need to hold himself like that anymore because they're safe people and he can comfortably tell them about his condition.

“the show ruined the darkling the show ruined darklina” oh you mean the show considered the nuance of without overly romanticizing a centuries-old power-hungry ABUSER who has committed genocide and taken advantage of countless women and it explored the ways in which “darklina” as a ship dynamic is really about him manipulating a lonely vulnerable girl and using his trauma to victimize himself as an excuse to lash out and fulfill his blatant power grabs and excessive violence against innocent people, and it emphasized how being lonely and having complexity doesn’t justify war crimes and instead focused on empowering the victims of kirigan’s abuse and didn’t pretend like darklina was for a moment a healthy valid romantic choice for alina because it wasn’t it was a relationship predicated on gaslighting manipulation and literal enslavement based on the traumatic experiences of the author herself and it should not be romanticized in any way shape or form? HAHA WELL GO CRY ABOUT IT IM HAVING A BLAST

I intended to seriously reply, but please, do come back once you learn to use capitals and diacritics. Your "opinion" is unreadable.

It's enough that I'd waste time on a person parroting show creators without the ability to apply an ounce of own thinking or politely participate in debate of constructive criticism, ANON.

Paul George on Stephen A. Smith’s Kawhi Leonard jab: “I didn’t like that moment… Kawhi wants to play… We exhausted a lot out of Kawhi this season. So at some point your body breaks you down… I didn’t appreciate that moment. I know I laughed because the situation was lighthearted, but deep down it was like you gotta let that go, Stephen A.”

I cannot stand Sumin and also I can’t describe how hard I was rooting for her to beat Min-hwan in that fight.
