#but stop saying no thats wrong or thats racist or thats anti gay

[whateverthedragonswant]

Being a fan of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon on here is a real challenge at times. Simply because an alarming number of people don't understand what the word adaptation means.

[graysanatimony]

In very concerned about both of my history teachers who for the sake of convenience and privacy I will call mr rugby and miss paper (these are references to their personalities and stuff but not their real names)

so mr rugby was my history teacher last year and I have him again this year and last year he made his opinions on the lgbt community very clear, he doesn’t like them but says he’s not homophobic as he isn’t actively oppressing anyone (what the fuck) he told us about the Belfast cake case (I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called and I can elaborate on this if anyone would like to know) and made us say if it was discriminatory or not, it was pretty 50/50 on that but more girls said it was than boys, he said it wasn’t, cause it was religious beliefs and shit,

there’s also a boy in my class I’m going to call dick, now dick is a dick that’s why I’m calling him that, he’s made it clear he doesn’t like queer people, he is somewhat racist, like yells slurs in class and shit, he makes rape jokes, says kids care getting trans surgeries at 16, very pro Israel or atleast anti Palestine and all that jazz, he’s asked mr R about his opinions on like trans people and gay marriage and stuff multiple times and every time his opinion is negative, doesn’t think gay people should marry, mocks neo pronouns, says trans people are confused all that stuff

the other day mr R made us say if we could put one group of people in jail who would it be, he went along the rows going from back to front and I’m at the end of the middle row, everyone else was saying communists, nazis, criminals (they had to re answer the question), and when it got to me I panicked and said rapists, mr R just said “rapists interesting” and moved on to the next person who said, pedophiles, then he stopped and said if you had to choose between a rapist or a pedophile who would you put in jail, most people then said rapist, and then he stopped the class and started saying a pedophile is worse cause they raped a child

HE NEVER SAID THAT BEFORE HE JUST DAID PEDOPHILE, everyone then started arguing that a pedo just had to have been attracted to children to be classed as one which he said was wrong AND THATS NOT THE WORST PART, HE THEN SAID THAT A RAPIST ONLY CAN RAPE ADULT WOMEN CAUSE IF ITS A CHILD THATS A PEDOPHILE AND “MEN CANNOT BE RAPED” THIS FUCKER SAID THAT MEN HAVE TO HAVE A BONER TO HAVE SEX SO CANNOT HAVE NONCONSENTUAL SEX

WHAT THE FUCK

he has also put a picture of miss piggy up saying that it was a picture of the northern Irish first minister or whatever the head of the government here is called

now miss paper I’ve only had for three weeks but in those three weeks she has said she prefers trump over Kamala Harris, because apparently “ trump has good policies” LIKE PROJECT 2025?!???? IS THAT MEANT TO BE GOOD POLICIES. She said Kamala sucks and in debates only winds trump up and gets him to say stuff that will make him look stupid

The joys of being educated by what I would describe as northern Irish conservatives

[exterminate-flatscan-terrorists]

since trainsfuckface just keep repeating himself like a lobotomized sentient train with a broken record for a mouth, I'll just copy and paste my sht too. some deluded fucking moron who says "I'M not even a big Tony fan" but one look at his page says otherwise, so adding FUCKING PATHOLOGICAL LIAR as a description for him.

==

oh, trainsfuckface made yet another moronic Pro Gestapo Tony rant, bitching about why the Antis are DARING TO CRITICIZE his favorite fictional GESTAPO Character. "Leave my Gestapo Alone!!!😭😭😭"

trainsshitsoup4brains: "waaaaaah!!! Just Leave me ALONE to FANTASIZE about my favorite GESTAPO Allegory!!! SEXISM, RACISM, Putting the Undesirables in Gulags, AND GENOCIDE IS OKAY IN FICTION!!! I CANT FUCKING DO IT IN REAL LIFE because you mainstream cuckWokes think its "bad"!!! I just want there to be a SAFE SPACE where I can FANTASIZE about licking the boots of Daddy Authority and StepDaddy Government (theyre NOT a gay couple, theyre very hetero masculine), Let them step all over me! I want MY Tony Mary Sue GESTAPO Stark to be the Governments Boot Licking DOG that hunts down everyone I dont like, and EVERYONE ON EARTH Claps and should ONLY GIVE Tony PRAISES and constant Tounge Baths!"

is this really even about Tony, or about the HORRIBLE things that Tony Stark have done but these DELUDED fanbois view it as "Um, actually, putting people in Gulags without trial is actually good, because Daddy Government said so".

I think this trainssupes guy IS one of the actual lunatics who are IRL lunatics. His toxic obsessive behavior is NOT the normal. Hes waaaay too fucking obsessed with DEFENDING a character that Championed RACIST Fascist Laws that put minorities in prison. He wants to be FREE to be a fanboi of Tony Gestapo Allegory Stark, and NOT be questioned about it, because he is simply made uncomfortable by NEGATIVITY the Antis raise against his Idol. For someone who kept bitching about "OOOOOOH, HES JUST FICTION" , trainssupesandhuntresses sure as fuck seems to feel OFFENDED when anyone points out thats his piece of shit FICTIONAL Hero is a piece of shit. He takes the negativity against Tonky like its a PERSONAL attack. Like some Religious prick whod kill people for insulting their FICTIONAL god. (And he is free to be a fanboi of Tony Gestapo Allegory Stark, but hes the one deliberately hijacking the Anti Tonky Suckass posts looking for a fight, like a Religious Zealot whining and bitching in Atheist Posts.) This fucking looser has been attacking Anti Tonky Stank posts for years like an obsessive looser.

ACTUAL Stereotypical TOXIC psycho fanboi that takes any negative comment against his favorite FANTASY Gestapo Allegory as a PERSONAL ATTACK. 

Instead of saying something SIMPLE like "I'm a fan of Tony, but YES, I absolutely believe that his actions in Civil War, comics and MCU, are inexcusable and should not be justified or glorified".  Instead of saying that, TOXIC fanbois like trainssupesandhuntresses goes with the gatekeepy IMMATURE route of "🤤duuurrrr, why yoo saying putting Supers in Gulags are BAD! theyre not reaaL, durrrrr!🥴 Stahp talkin about fictional racismmmm🥴". meanwhile, being the hypocritical TOXIC fanboi, he doesnt stop d¡ckriding his favorite Gestapo Allegory. Pulling the "duuuur DONT talk AbouT FiCTioNaL characterzz" because he wanna gatekeep who can and cant talk about his favorite Gestapo Character. He doesnt wanna admit that Tonys actions were WRONG, because HE AGREES WITH IT. Instead of saying that such actions are WRONG, he gaslights and deflect deflect deflect. There are SOOOOO MANY heroes in the Marvel media, but for some reason , he is attracted to the White Man Billionare Gestapo Allegory and attacks anyone who criticizes his Idol.

Some actual lunatic fans UNIRONICALLY thinks that terrible behaviors by their "heroes" are aspirational. People who are actual fucking lunatics sometimes actually reflect that in their choice of Fav Characters , and they feel personally attacked when theyre told that their Gestapo Allegory Idol is actually BAD and should not be UNIRONICALLY glorified.

some Companies have had NEEDED to remind their fans that genodical racist fascist behavior is actually bad,

== for example,

Warhammer 40K’s Creators Needed to make a statement reminding players that its fictional monsters aren’t aspirational after a scandal at a major tournament in Spain.

Games Workshop has had a long time to reckon with just how explicit the “Grimdark” satire of its tabletop wargaming universe is. It portrays a fascist, zealous imperial regime as heroic—in a universe of demonic horrors and alien invasion—to players who might find themselves fond of such ideals in real life. But the company has recently been forced to take stock of that satire in the wake of Nazi imagery being worn to a recent tournament.

Anti-Nazi Wolfenstein II offends Nazis

"It's disturbing that Wolfenstein can be considered a controversial political statement"

Bethesda marketing boss Pete Hines discusses publisher's marketing for upcoming anti-Nazi shooter

The marketing, particularly the #NoMoreNazis tagline, has caused a stir and prompted complaints about both the game and Bethesda via social media, but Hines defends the marketing message.

"This is what our game is about," he says. "It's what this franchise has always been about. We aren't afraid to embrace what BJ stands for and what Wolfenstein represents. When it comes to Nazis, you can put us down in the 'against' column."

"As we've said many times before, fighting Nazis has been the core of Wolfenstein games for decades, and it isn't really debatable that Nazis are, as Henry Jones Sr. said, 'the slime of humanity.' Certainly there's a risk of alienating some customers, but to be honest, people who are against freeing the world from the hate and murder of a Nazi regime probably aren't interested in playing Wolfenstein."

The geek community, and specifically the gamer community, has become even more polarized than the country as a whole. Part of that may be our fondness for stories about Good and Evil. But it’s also got a lot to do with white nationalist groups like Stormfront actively recruiting from the lonely, entitled and pretty much completely white male “Gamergate” movement.

It’s no coincidence the same places Gamergate people used to harass women in the gaming industry for daring to exist – Twitter, mostly, with Reddit and 4chan for organizing – are now plagued with young men who proudly identify as Nazis and go around taking offense to video games that promise the catharsis of shooting up men wearing swastikas and white sheets. Somehow, despite all the stories of heroes doing the right things, part of the geek community has decided they’d rather be the Evil Empire.

===

Make no mistake, psycho toxic fanbois actually exist.

These Tony Gestapo Stark fanbois are the ones who are OBSESSED with their FICTIONAL idol. Just like with EVERYTHING about these facist fanbois, they have the tendency to PROJECT their behavior. They bitch whine and moan about Antis obsessing over a character when in reality, the fanbois the ones being obsessive psychos. This fucker actually told me he's NOT a fan of Tony, but he posts about Pro Tonky Stank all the fucking time. He cant help but be a pathological  FUCKING LIAR it seems. This guy is a psychotwat, like ALL the other Tonky fans.

[maccreadysimp]

breaking down this anti-ian article bc it bothers me ( from the child of a bipolar mother and a male teen with same sex attraction ) while also providing valid reasons ian sucks ( from someone who likes ian )

ive had this drafted for a while so i dont think i cover anything from season 11

tw for i^cest and r^pe

he was with a married man

in this point it points out that he was with kash and he continued his relationship with kash even after linda put cameras in the store

“Ian didn't seem to care about how wrong his affair with Kash was or how much it could hurt Kash's wife Linda, whom he saw at the store regularly. “

that is a quote from that part.

ian gallagher was fifteen in season one, kash was an older man who bought him gifts and payed attention to ian ,, that was not on ian , none of that was ian fault because he was a child

ian wasnt open with lip

“ Ian didn't tell Lip about his preferences and forced Lip to figure it out on his own. Lip was instantly accepting of his brother's truth and even offered to help him figure out any confusion he might be harboring, so it's really strange that Ian wasn't just upfront with his closest confidant from the start.”

no , lip wasnt forced to figure it out on his own and he also wasn’t instantly accepting.

in this point it mentions that ‘they’re extremely close ( bestfriends and brothers ) so its strange ian didnt tell him’

like point 1 , ian is a fifteen year old boy, growing up on the southside , and thoughout the show it has mentioned multiple times that the southside isnt that accepting

back to lip -- lip wasnt accepting, sure he was fine but ‘helping your younger brother figure it out’ by having a (female) classmate give him a blowjob isnt helping

he secretly dated his best friends brother

“Most friends have an unspoken rule about not dating each other's siblings, but Ian broke this rule by secretly entering into a relationship with Mandy's closeted brother Mickey.”

the only thing i have to say about this is , he was still with kash and mickey was a boy in his age group who was gay , growing up in the southside ian probably thought he was the token gay so of course hes going to chase after mickey

he stood by as kash attacked mickey

“Ian didn't do anything to stop Kash from shooting his new lover, and didn't even tell the police about his boss' over-the-top display of jealous action so proper justice could be served.”

okay. because two men he had fallen for had gotten into a fight, there was a gun involved and he panicked, in the end after mickey got shot he went to him

now to address the quote, he didnt say anything to the police because he probably knew that that would bring shame onto kash and his family, along with mickey and his family who are very homophobic

oh yeah and it was like 2011 and cops suck and THEY LIVE ON THE SOUTHSIDE

he and lip tried framing terry milkovich

oh the homophobic and racist dad of his boyfriend and bestfriend who tried to kill him and r*ped his daughter ?

yeah , shit man , that was real bad they shouldn’t have done that /s

he dated jimmy-steves married father

“Ian didn't bother telling Jimmy the truth about his father and didn't end his relationship with Lloyd upon finding out that he had a secret wife and family, either.”

at this point ian is probably sixteen but that doesnt matter bc i wont even address that

he met him at a club and then used his relationship with ned to make mickey jealous which was one of the reasons he kept seeing him, he didnt tell jimmy-steve about the relationship or his father bc he shouldnt find out from him he should find out from his father , again like kash, ned was an older man who payed attention to ian and ned later did develop feelings feelings for ian

he stole lips identity to enlist in the army

he enlisted because he didnt know what to do with himself, its implied/stated that the army timeline was the start of his bipolar

“While impersonating Lip, Ian had tried to steal a helicopter and then proceeded to go AWOL.”

this is because of the bipolar he suffers from, it is referenced later in the series after he gets back and hes manic

ian refused to accept being bipolar

of course he didnt accept it, it is made very clear that his family thinks lowly of monica so of course if hes the lucky duck to get what his siblings demonize her for, of course he’ll not want to be it

“He refused to take medications that could alter his personality or mood.”

okay. this is why im making this whole post, this goes along with part 15 ( or so idk ) ,,

my mother , my dear mother, who is bipolar and doesnt take her meds because they are mood altering , my mom doesnt take med because she told me once that they make her feel like shit, she told me that a little after i was born she started taking them but realized she felt nothing, she felt nothing for my dad or for i ( making her numb )

she told me anti deppresents dont help either because when shes on them and manic it pushes her past productive and into angry

my dad told me that when my mom was on bi polar medication she would seem angry most of the time

he wasnt faitful to mickey

“Ian's bipolar disorder made him very reckless and impulsive and led him to be unfaithful.”

lets break that down.

ians. bipolar. disorder.

this plot point i actually didnt like, mainly bc ian never addresses it so ill give the article a point. but then i take away 2 because they have more of a problem with his bipolar messing with him rather than the fact he never apologized and they never worked it out

ian stole yevgeny

before i start quoting i should mention because his boyfriend, who has supported and helped him is suddenly telling him he needs help, he was helping raise yev so he’ll see yev as his own

“Ian failed to recognize just how crazy he was acting...”

cuting you off right there , he was in a bipolar state, he wasnt ‘crazy’ and isnt ‘crazy’

he cant even keep count of his number of partners

just slutshaming i see

he helped throw frank off a bridge

“His relationship with Frank was understandably never the same after that, as Frank struggled to get over this act of betrayal and cruelty.”

‘was never the same after that’ frank never liked ian, ian was probably his least favorite and that point is very apparent

also , it wasnt just ian , his siblings and his boyfriend caleb

he left a healthy relationship to be with mickey

he fell in love with mickey at 15 , mickey was a comfort and always someone to fall back on, when mickey was taken away and no longer in the picture his heart still obviously was with mickey and when mickey came back he didnt know what to do

he told mickey he had a boyfriend but because mickey has been such a constant in his life he finally has back of course he couldnt resist

he liked trevor, i could tell he did but trevor wasnt the one he watched get r^ped by a russian prostitute, he wasnt the one ian was secretly dating bc it would be a death wish other wise, he wasnt the one there when ian was manic or depressive ( at the start )

he tried blackmailing an old client for money

“Instead of raising the money in an honest manner, Ian chose to visit an old client from his time working at the Fairy Tail and blackmail him into funding the shelter.”

because he felt indebted to trevor and wanted to make it up to him, it would have taken longer to do it in ‘an honest manner’ when his sister would have gotten it instead, he knew how much gay youths like he once was needed a safe place

“He grew up wanting to be nothing like his father, but this whole money-making scheme was straight out of the Frank playbook”

because thats all he knows, he grew up with that ‘playbook’ so of course hes going to take a page out of it, he is nothing like frank , franks money making schemes are selfish and for his own greed while ian wanted the money to help build a safe space for lgbt youth

he let fame inflate his ego

of course he did, hes a southside kid who was destined to fail

also it is very apparent that during the gay jesus era he went off his medication which didnt help

“Before long, he just completely forgot about his ex and focused solely on being a deity”

as much as yes, he did let it mess with his head, he was trying to still help lgbt youth and was going against anti gay churchs , in the end it didnt work out for him because he was off his meds and went over board

he stopped taking his meds

see previous point and ‘ian refused to accept being bipolar’

he actually wanted to stay in prison

because he was doing good in there

ian was helping others and was spreading awareness about lgbt with in the prison , and as him and jail scenes go , we can see people were listening to him and he was trying to make it safe sane and consensual

he let down his army of followers

“Ian admitted that most of his actions were completely irrational and the mere results of his bipolar disorder.”

he didnt want to, we can see this, because he knew he would let down everyone, his family were the only ones to ever ground him and they knew it would be the best option for his own mental health

during the gallavich wedding we can see that a lot of his supporters still have his back because they must know how hard it was for him to put all of that success on something he can’t control

he constantly wasted his potential

this is actually the only point in this article i actually agree with , so only 1/20 i agree with

his relationship with mickey wasn’t actually great

“Mickey spent the first several years of their relationship denying his feelings for Ian.”

he was raised by a homophobic and racist father who he knew would react the way he did when terry had caught the two that one day

“Even after he finally embraced his true self, Ian's bipolar disorder kept them from becoming truly happy together.”

yes but mickey was there for him the entire time and helped him through it, he told him he loved him which was really big for him and did his best to care for him

“They couldn't seem to remain faithful to each other for more than a few weeks.”

back to the point about ians bipolar but for mickey he wanted monogamy , now that scene in s11 may say otherwise but it is very clear that he wants a monogamous relationship with ian and ian ( after getting help ) wants one too, and in the later seasons they are monogamous

“When Mickey asked Ian to run away to Mexico with him, Ian refused.”

he wanted to, it’s obvious, but ian has his family and didnt want to abandon them again, i think part of him knew he would see mickey again because they always find eachother, he gave mickey all of his money and wanted mickey to have a good life

“Their relationship was simply never healthy.”

no it wasnt, but thats why the ship is great in its own way, the gay closet kid raised by a homophobic man is obviously going to have a lot of baggage , and ian who is bipolar and struggling with himself will also have a lot of baggage , but in the end they love eachother and that really shows in season five and season seven specifically

that is all lol ,,, this is long sorry

now, i am not a ian apologist , i love ian but hes a dumbass sometimes

actual valid reasons ian sucks

genuinely believes frank is worse than terry

yes frank was definitely abusive but terry is definitely worse ,,

mentally/physically/sexually abusive , the whole nine yards

terry hired a prostitute to r^pe his son , threatened to kill him and ian on multiple occasions , r^ped his daughter who ended up pregnant and is actively racist

frank on the other hand will make gay jokes but in the end doesnt give enough of a shit , he has attacked his children on multiple occasions but not to the brutality that terry has ( this isnt me excusing it )

sorry ian , terry is worse

never apologized

he never apologized for all the shit he put mickey and his family through, never apologized to mickey for cheating on him , never apologized for all the manic and depressive episodes mickey endured with him

never apologized for walking away when he couldn’t handle it, in hall of shame mickey actually acknowledges this saying ‘its youre whole MO’

debbies sexuality

he has constantly made statements saying debbie isnt gay and that bothers me because , why does it care ? as a gay man and as a gay man who soent time with a lot of lgbt youth wouldnt he support his sister even if shes just ‘experimenting’?

in the recent season he doesnt seem to care and doesn’t say anything but it still bothers me

mickey only getting like 80% of his heart

okay look , i get what ian means when he says this , everyones hes been with has made him who he is but fucking hell dude ,, shut up , thats your husband , thats the love of your life you shouldnt be saying shit like that , especially to him

and then this man had the audacity to say mickey probably feels the same about past flings when he knows that ian is the only one hes probably ever been with/serious about

obviously there is probably more but those are the main ones that come to mind

—

before anyone brings up the trans or bi thing im going to explain my thought process for him

like ive probably mentioned multiple times he grew up southside and obviously only ever grew up with lgb and not t ,, trevor did inform him a lot and ian became supre accepting of everyone,, sexual preference isnt transphobic but i do think he approached the matter badly

now the bi thing , legit all i think is that he doesnt hate bisexual people its just that the man he really liked slept with a woman and never expressed any heterosexual attraction so it probably just suprised him and pissed him off because caleb did cheat on ian

—

if you read this far HOLY SHIT THANKS LOL ,, im not adding things that i think are pro about ian this was just me breaking down that article and giving my two cents :)

feel free to message me and talk to me or send me articles like this about any other character/relationship and i will totally break that one down too lol

thanks for letting me rant

A MESSAGE TO THE PJO FANDOM

so hello friends on the other side

I understand some of the major concerns regarding characters like piper and the feather and hazels description but when you bring Leo and Reyna into the fucking conversation I have lost all respect.

ANYONE CAN BE ABUSED, ETHNICITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

LATINO CHARACTERS

Reyna is not a negative stereotype, she isn't defined by being latina and neither is Leo, he isn't a stereotype simply because he’s latino and was abused. also him being called an elf was because he was short, which had nothing to do with him being latino. also the mamacita comment like y'all hide under the label “progressive” but ignore that mamacita has been a thing in Latin American communities for a fucking while. its not an insult dammit. its something that happens in our communities!!! its like saying muchacho y'all don't see men bitching about that.

also shocker I read the mamacita comment and I can proudly say I didn't go

“RICK YOU RACIST BITCH”

things that actually happen in communities aren't racist

and before any of y'all come at me with the usual you’re white excuse, hello friends im Peruvian and Paraguayan.

I don't think he’s perfect but bitching about characters like Leo which gave many of my Latin American friends hope for similar characters destroys your “listening to minorities” argument

also the lol “hes Mexican taco bad” argument like I live in Mexico we eat tacos like every fucking day. its literally a fact. and Leo isn't just defined as taco man.

believe it or not us latinos respect rick because he gave us role models and characters like us. we don't define a character by one line and instantly call discrimination. like yes a asian character can be snobby it has nothing to do with ethnicity. y'all are making this about ethnicity. an asian character can be anything, just like a white character or a black character or a gay character. people are not simply defined by their labels like ya’ll think. y'all are just a bunch of easily triggered snowflakes that can't live with that. they can be influenced but in the end labels are labels we are all human and should be treated as such.

LGBT REPRESENTATION

another thing Reyna was never officially a lesbian that was YOUR interpretation not riordans. IF HE DIDNT STATE IT , SORRY HONEY IT ISN’T CANON! I don't care about how she was “lesbian coded” if he didn't state it it isn't canon. 

I am so sick, as a lesbian, to see people use ALL QUEER DEATHS as a bury your gay tropes, what happened to seeing us as humans? why can't we be treated like any other character? if we die we die, it isn't always “haha gay evil boom death”. sometimes fully fledged characters have to die friends.

Nico isn't a bad gay character, he’s just a normal character who happens to be gay and has suffered major trauma. HIS TRAUMA WAS CAUSED BY HIS UPBRINGING, Nico isn't a 2000′s character, he’s from the 30′s, so obviously he woudn’t be perfect with his sexuality for gods sake it was the 30′s. the exact same thing happens with hazel, she isn't a modern black woman, she's a 30′s black woman. Nico’s coming out isn't him as a 21st century teen its from the time when the GOVERNMENT KILLED YOU FOR BEING GAY

also saying there are no lesbian characters? like wow look emmie and jo don't exist. Lavinia doesn't exist. poison doesn't exist. thanks fam you really make yourselves look smart here. simply because rick never said the word gay doesn't mean the gay characters don't exist friends. they are just labeled as what gay characters should be labeled as.... human.

LESBOPHOBIA & RACISM

im not educated in muslim or black culture so I won't mention characters like sam and hazel and piper because I respect and I am highly critical of what rick put in his books to describe these specific minorities.

HOWEVER saying rick is a lesbophobe, a homophobe, a racist a sexist cis guy is like do y’all wanna be taken seriously? use arguments don't hide behind words.

rick isn't a perfect writer but y'all really don't know how to criticise, y'all just hide behind big boy words and back it up with no evidence, just opinions.

rick doesn’t have the best minority rep out there but he is damn well trying and I respect that unlike all you fucking idiots.

SHIPS

now onto ships.... yay

frazel: im not gonna censor it like you pussies, believe it or not 13&16 year old relationships exist. they might not always be healthy but they exist. to deny this is to be stupid

solangelo:  another ship that is censored..the main argument I've seen is that it isn't developed and will isn't even a character... he was in last olympian and lost hero not my fault y'all have fish brains. I don't care if you dislike it but don't be like “ANYONE WHO SHIPS THIS IS AN ABUSIVE WHORE” like wow you always preach about accepting all ships and then throw this? also if you hate solangelo because of the “abuse” but ship percico like hi friends Nico is 4 years younger than Percy.. if y'all hate frazel because of the 3 year age difference y'all should hate this too.

CONCLUSIONS AND SHIT

not every character minority or otherwise is gonna be the way you want them to be, believe it or not any character can be anything, black characters can be loud, white characters can be loud. if they're only loud because “haha black” then THATS an issue not the simple existence of a loud black woman who has a loud personality.

y'all be here bitching about drew and I've never heard the asian perspective of this? just a bunch of black and white people telling asians they should be offended. was that just an uno reverse?

also last point stereotypes aren't always a negative thing and y'all need to get that in your heads.

anyway stay mad hoes <3

from a sane Peruvian <3

EDIT

I saw this beauty and had to comment on it

“having LGBT characters experience abuse and violence. nicos forceful outing rubs me the wrong way, especially because hes called a coward for being in the closet. its violent and kind of disturbing to make your gay character come out of the closet by force. maybe write better. additionally, alex's abusive father and subsequent homelessness because of her being trans is badly written.”

oh noooo gay characters can't deal with homophobia anymore ! like I can tell you have never been punched for being gay. is it bad to showcase how trans and gay ppl are 40% of homeless youth? or is even mentioning that discrimination? believe it or not some of us live in countries where people try to kill us. you have an advantage and it shows. about the coward thing... 

was FUCKING CUPID A GOOD CHARACTER? NO? I REST MY CASE. CUPID IS NOT SEEN AS A GOOD PERSON THEREFORE HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON GET THAT IN YOUR THICK SKULLS.

 YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS LGBT FOLKS DONT GET FORCED OUT OF THE CLOSET 

#NEVER HAPPENS IN REALITY. 

JUST BECAUSE YOU WERENT FORCED OUT OF THE CLOSET DOESNT MEAN OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THAT SAME LUXURY. 

maybe stop spewing bullshit <3

(so I get that this scene can remind people of being outed and it can hurt them however this scene was never intended to be a good thing it literally says Nico is scared of facing his emotions)

EDIT NUMBER 2

oh boy rick really pissed off the snowflakes that I share a fandom with

“give Nico to the gays” no? he would be a femboy and they would yeet his trauma like ssrsly?

also hate rick? bitch no one is forcing you to read his tweets.

death of the author is such a toxic thing like the mans is alive boo he aint going nowhere..like What the fuck 

EDIT NUMBER 3

anyway final thoughts on this :

nico insn’t Uwu gay and its an insult to his character

Reyna is not a lesbian canonically (neither is Thalia)

Leo and Reyna are not racist

none of ricks characters are  written as insults to their communities

and if I see one more “but ....phobia/ ...ism I will do very illegal things

peace lol

RICK RIORDAN UPDATE:

congratulations rick antis! you have successfully harassed a  56 year old man into leaving social media! wow so progressive!!!! this totally won't backfire or anything!!!

all jokes aside all of you who harassed rick to the point of someone else taking over his social media should feel ashamed

[holographic-feminism-blog]

Why you cannot be “pro life” and be a feminist

(TW: mentions of rape, abuse, gore, death and objectification may be mentioned)

Hey, you may yourself be “pro life” and have been sent this because you're a brick wall and/or this person does not have time for you or you could be an actual person with common sense and be pro choice who just wants to help grow your knowledge and understanding of the feminist movement and your debating skills. Ether way welcome, glad to have you.

I think we should disprove some idiotic points “pro life” feminists like to bring up:

“I’m fine with other women getting abortions, i just think its wrong”

*collective eye roll from all pro choicers* Alright there are two reasons i put this point first.

1. because i feel like you wouldn't even read up to this point if it weren't the first point because you're actively too lazy to read up on literally anything and 2. because i myself have had this point so much i lost count. Ill get to why abortion isn't wrong in a bit but just to say YOU’RE NOT “PRO LIFE” YOU’RE PRO CHOICE!!! The reason i said “you're actively too lazy to read up on literally anything” is because the literal definition of pro choice is

pro-choice

prəʊˈtʃɔɪs/

adjective advocating the legal right of a woman  to choose whether or not she will have an abortion.

That literally describes exactly what bs has just drivelled out your damn mouth. You're ok with a person having the choice. You seriously go and say you're pro life when you don't even know what it means. For gods sake the safari app is right there, you couldn't look something up before you embarrass yourself on the internet?

But anyway you're pro choice, pro choice means you're ok with others having the choice even if you wouldn't. Have a nice day.

“Most abortions are gender based, meaning more girls get aborted because they're girls”

Sorry but you need to get your priorities straight, there are so many things wrong with what you just said. First off, transphobia much? Second, I along with anyone with morals would place a fully grown pregnant person with responsibilities, relationships and memories over that of something that is about as alive as a blade of grass that has a vagina. Do you think that a person with a uterus is lesser than something that is barely alive? yeah......... yeah thats why you're not a feminist.

But anyway i don't think you know what gender based abortions really happen for. 99% of the time gender based abortions are in places where the parents are desperate for a boy and cannot have more than one or two children. Places such as china with its one child policy. The parents want to continue the family last name and also continue the businesses (because businesses are usually passed down from father to son). China is flooded with parentless girls already because so many parents abandon them because they wanted a boy, we don't need to add that.

Im in no way ok with gender based abortions but because these people are so desperate to have a boy if abortion became illegal in counties like these violence against women and death of women via massive blood loss with increase rapidly due to coat hanger abortions and husbands hitting their wives in hope to kill the foetus. It’s ether you're ok with violence and horrific torture of millions of people world wide or you're gonna let people have abortions when they need ones.

Hey heres an idea, instead of taking away a right to abortion from women, why don't you do what most feminists who aren't lazy do and try to get rid of the patriarchal idealistic surrounding gender based abortions. Thats actually useful and helps us get to equality, while being anti abortion stops that.

“Some abortions harm women!!!”

According the the NHS (the uk healthcare service) 1 in 1000 legal and medical abortions cause damage to the uterus in abortions carried out between 12-24 weeks. Most of these damages are mild infections that can be treated with antibiotics. 

Id also like to remind you that illegal abortions cause wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more damage to someones uterus than a safe and legal one. So your argument is kinda stupid. Like “some women are hurt by legal abortions so lets make it illegal and have EVERY woman be hurt but abortions! I'm fighting for women rights here guys trust me.” Birth is much more dangerous than abortion as well.

Also.... if you're talking about emotional harm...95% of people don't regret their abortion.

“Its against my religion”

Your religion applies to you, not others. NEXT.

“It doesn't say anywhere that I have to be pro choice to be a feminist”

I’m sorry do you have anything in that thick skull of yours?

feminismˈfɛmɪnɪz(ə)m/

noun

the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

Newsflash, you can’t advocate for equality when you see women as incubators. Also, yes you do see women as incubators. You think that if a person gets pregnant and doesn't want it or finds out that it is horrifically deformed or already dead that they should  keep it and have it. You’re kidding me right? That is the most misogynistic and sexist thing I have ever heard and its is 100% what you're ok with.

Let me tell you what you're also ok with that is completely anti feminist:

1. Child abuse

I will get into that next

2. Back ally/coat hanger abortions

You're pro people getting hurt via illegal abortions. You're ok with people killing themselves via mass blood loss all because you're selfish enough ignore their desperation. Have you read the stories of illegal abortions before it was legal? They're horrific. You're no feminist if you're ok with pregnant people killing themselves because a right was taken away from them.

3. Rape

No one consents to rape. Its kinda like someone stabs someone else and you tell the person who was stabbed “Don't go to the hospital! You'll be fine! You can handle it.” No one should be forced to continue a pregnancy if they didn't consent to becoming pregnant. you're no feminist if you think people should suffer like that and drag their trauma out. You're punishing people for being raped. Thats worse than victim blaming. Sick.

4. Self harm

People throw themselves down the stairs, punch themselves and even starve themselves to kill the foetus. Why should they be subjected to that when they could have a safe one? You're evil if you think people should be hurt for accidentally getting themselves pregnant then you're no feminist.

5. Poverty

Do you know how much a child costs? $14,000 per year. If you're working a minimum wage job which pays $15,080 per year, thats not good news for you. The fact you’re fine with single mothers or fathers struggling to feed themselves all because of a mistake they made once is NOT ok in any way.

6. People loosing their right to education

You're ok with people missing valuable education time because they need to look after their child and/or give birth? Resulting in them severely denting their life which links to argument 5. ...You’re getting what i mean now right?

7. CHILDREN.BEING.TRAUMATISED.AND.HURT

A 12 year old being forced to have a child isn't ok sorry. There is no way you're in the right for saying they should. Their body isn't built to have a child yet so they're more likely to die or be in immense pain. The labour will be way way way longer than an adults. If you think a child should be put through that, what is wrong with you? You’re so evil I cannot muster and you're the exact opposite of a feminist.

8. The objectification of women

By forcing people to go through with pregnancies you're feeding the patriarchal idea that women are here to give birth to and look after children. You're saying that women are incubators and exist to be impregnated. You're saying that women are lesser than something that doesn't know it’s alive and that she is a slave to the person who got her pregnant and the thing inside her. Thats like so unfeminist its amazing. Thanks.

“Why can’t they just give it for adoption?”

The percentage of adopted children who are abuse is 25%. 25%!!!!! Children who are adopted are also more likely to have depression and commit suicide. In fact, if you're a foster child you're 4 times more likely to commit suicide than a child with a known birth parent. Gay parents are also allowed to be refused to adopt my some agencies, where are you yelling about that? Why are you telling people not to abort when you should be protesting this abuse and homophobia? You're telling me you'd rather see a child suffer and have their whole life messed up than just let a person have an abortion? You're sick.

“Im only ok with it if it’s rape”

So a person has to have their body violated for them to get the rights to it? Consent to sex is NOT consent to pregnancy. Condom effectiveness have gone down to 85%. Its kinda like saying that you're only ok with STD medication if it was due to rape. You can consent to sex but not being infected, so its not their fault. So thats the same with being pregnant.

“I think people should take responsibility for their actions”

Well, they are. Aborting the foetus is taking responsibility for their action. And its rather anti feminist of you to think people should be punished for life because of a mistake.

“Its my choice to be pro life and feminism gives you the right to chose what you believe”

That sentence was a direct contradiction to what you believe. Feminism gives you the right to choose yes but who are you to feel that you can take away that same right to choose to other women. Are you that entitled that you think your choice to be “pro life” is greater than other peoples right to a choice? 

Your choice to be pro life is also not feminist at all. Kinda like me saying I'm pro lgbt but then kicking my child out if they're gay.  People choose to be racist, people choose to be homophobes. Your choice is your choice yes but everyone has a right to tell you why that choice is wrong.

“But babies are cute!”

...okay...? First off, that shit isn’t a baby. It’s a cluster of cells or a foetus. Second, what does that matter? Something being cute doesn’t put it on some kinda pedestal. I like boa constrictors are cute, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t shoot one in the face if it was trying to constrict my friend.

A thing being cute doesn’t make it more important. In fact it’s very ignorant of you to say that something being cute puts it above others.

You're not a feminist. Just say you hate people with uteruses and go

[exterminate-flatscan-terrorists]

oh, trainsfuckface made yet another moronic Pro Gestapo Tony rant, bitching about why the Antis are DARING TO CRITICIZE his favorite fictional GESTAPO Character. "Leave my Gestapo Alone!!!😭😭😭"

trainsshitsoup4brains: "waaaaaah!!! Just Leave me ALONE to FANTASIZE about my favorite GESTAPO Allegory!!! SEXISM, RACISM, Putting the Undesirables in Gulags, AND GENOCIDE IS OKAY IN FICTION!!! I CANT FUCKING DO IT IN REAL LIFE because you mainstream cuckWokes think its "bad"!!! I just want there to be a SAFE SPACE where I can FANTASIZE about licking the boots of Daddy Authority and StepDaddy Government (theyre NOT a gay couple, theyre very hetero masculine), Let them step all over me! I want MY Tony Mary Sue GESTAPO Stark to be the Governments Boot Licking DOG that hunts down everyone I dont like, and EVERYONE ON EARTH Claps and should ONLY GIVE Tony PRAISES and constant Tounge Baths!"

is this really even about Tony, or about the HORRIBLE things that Tony Stark have done but these DELUDED fanbois view it as "Um, actually, putting people in Gulags without trial is actually good, because Daddy Government said so".

I think this trainssupes guy IS one of the actual lunatics who are IRL lunatics. His toxic obsessive behavior is NOT the normal. Hes waaaay too fucking obsessed with DEFENDING a character that Championed RACIST Fascist Laws that put minorities in prison. He wants to be FREE to be a fanboi of Tony Gestapo Allegory Stark, and NOT be questioned about it, because he is simply made uncomfortable by NEGATIVITY the Antis raise against his Idol. For someone who kept bitching about "OOOOOOH, HES JUST FICTION" , trainssupesandhuntresses sure as fuck seems to feel OFFENDED when anyone points out thats his piece of shit FICTIONAL Hero is a piece of shit. He takes the negativity against Tonky like its a PERSONAL attack. Like some Religious prick whod kill people for insulting their FICTIONAL god. (And he is free to be a fanboi of Tony Gestapo Allegory Stark, but hes the one deliberately hijacking the Anti Tonky Suckass posts looking for a fight, like a Religious Zealot whining and bitching in Atheist Posts.) This fucking looser has been attacking Anti Tonky Stank posts for years like an obsessive looser.

ACTUAL Stereotypical TOXIC psycho fanboi that takes any negative comment against his favorite FANTASY Gestapo Allegory as a PERSONAL ATTACK. 

Instead of saying something SIMPLE like "I'm a fan of Tony, but YES, I absolutely believe that his actions in Civil War, comics and MCU, are inexcusable and should not be justified or glorified".  Instead of saying that, TOXIC fanbois like trainssupesandhuntresses goes with the gatekeepy IMMATURE route of "🤤duuurrrr, why yoo saying putting Supers in Gulags are BAD! theyre not reaaL, durrrrr!🥴 Stahp talkin about fictional racismmmm🥴". meanwhile, being the hypocritical TOXIC fanboi, he doesnt stop d¡ckriding his favorite Gestapo Allegory. Pulling the "duuuur DONT talk AbouT FiCTioNaL characterzz" because he wanna gatekeep who can and cant talk about his favorite Gestapo Character. He doesnt wanna admit that Tonys actions were WRONG, because HE AGREES WITH IT. Instead of saying that such actions are WRONG, he gaslights and deflect deflect deflect. There are SOOOOO MANY heroes in the Marvel media, but for some reason , he is attracted to the White Man Billionare Gestapo Allegory and attacks anyone who criticizes his Idol.

Some actual lunatic fans UNIRONICALLY thinks that terrible behaviors by their "heroes" are aspirational. People who are actual fucking lunatics sometimes actually reflect that in their choice of Fav Characters , and they feel personally attacked when theyre told that their Gestapo Allegory Idol is actually BAD and should not be UNIRONICALLY glorified.

some Companies have had NEEDED to remind their fans that genodical racist fascist behavior is actually bad,

== for example,

Warhammer 40K’s Creators Needed to make a statement reminding players that its fictional monsters aren’t aspirational after a scandal at a major tournament in Spain.

Games Workshop has had a long time to reckon with just how explicit the “Grimdark” satire of its tabletop wargaming universe is. It portrays a fascist, zealous imperial regime as heroic—in a universe of demonic horrors and alien invasion—to players who might find themselves fond of such ideals in real life. But the company has recently been forced to take stock of that satire in the wake of Nazi imagery being worn to a recent tournament.

Anti-Nazi Wolfenstein II offends Nazis

"It's disturbing that Wolfenstein can be considered a controversial political statement"

Bethesda marketing boss Pete Hines discusses publisher's marketing for upcoming anti-Nazi shooter

The marketing, particularly the #NoMoreNazis tagline, has caused a stir and prompted complaints about both the game and Bethesda via social media, but Hines defends the marketing message.

"This is what our game is about," he says. "It's what this franchise has always been about. We aren't afraid to embrace what BJ stands for and what Wolfenstein represents. When it comes to Nazis, you can put us down in the 'against' column."

"As we've said many times before, fighting Nazis has been the core of Wolfenstein games for decades, and it isn't really debatable that Nazis are, as Henry Jones Sr. said, 'the slime of humanity.' Certainly there's a risk of alienating some customers, but to be honest, people who are against freeing the world from the hate and murder of a Nazi regime probably aren't interested in playing Wolfenstein."

The geek community, and specifically the gamer community, has become even more polarized than the country as a whole. Part of that may be our fondness for stories about Good and Evil. But it’s also got a lot to do with white nationalist groups like Stormfront actively recruiting from the lonely, entitled and pretty much completely white male “Gamergate” movement.

It’s no coincidence the same places Gamergate people used to harass women in the gaming industry for daring to exist – Twitter, mostly, with Reddit and 4chan for organizing – are now plagued with young men who proudly identify as Nazis and go around taking offense to video games that promise the catharsis of shooting up men wearing swastikas and white sheets. Somehow, despite all the stories of heroes doing the right things, part of the geek community has decided they’d rather be the Evil Empire.

===

Make no mistake, psycho toxic fanbois actually exist.

These Tony Gestapo Stark fanbois are the ones who are OBSESSED with their FICTIONAL idol. Just like with EVERYTHING about these facist fanbois, they have the tendency to PROJECT their behavior. They bitch whine and moan about Antis obsessing over a character when in reality, the fanbois the ones being obsessive psychos. This fucker actually told me he's NOT a fan of Tony, but he posts about Pro Tonky Stank all the fucking time. He cant help but be a pathological  FUCKING LIAR it seems. This guy is a psychotwat, like ALL the other Tonky fans.

i think the idea of having a character hate blog sounds exhausting.

why waste time talking about stuff about a fictional character you don't like, when you talk about stuff you enjoy more?

tony stark isn't a real person, and i feel like creating a blog and making posts devoted to hating people who are fans of him to be kind of ... jerkish? don't yuck other people's yum, man.

I'M not even a big Tony fan (I'm mostly indifferent towards him), and accounts like this seem rather unnecessary for stuff that ultimately doesn't matter.

this is a film that came out, what, 7 years ago? why waste time on that? seriously.

Why waste all our time sending an ask like that? Seriously. If you spent even a little time scrolling you'd know this blog isn't only about Tony, it hasn't ever been. And I do enjoy thinking critically about the media I consume, thank you very much. Gets my brain working instead of me sitting there like a zombie and then forgetting what the movie was about a week later. It ultimately doesn't matter, so why critise people for how they consume their media?

(Also, if my problem was with CW alone, this blog wouldn't exist)

Don't yuck other people's yum, dude.

[iron-sunrise]

Shiiiid, guess I’m not done ranting.

Ok so @helpfulhardware as usual checks on me now and then (bless) to tell me, rightfully, that I shouldnt waste my time with discoursers. They’re right obviously but I’ve come to understand why I do it and that lead me to stop my brief moratorium on discourse.

I dont swing for them because I never at any point expect honesty and civility from discoursers. 90% of them have abandoned all pretense of providing those things, at that. 

Reasons I’ve decided not to shut up is that there are so, so, so many very young Ace (and bi and pan and trans, queer and nb too, the discourse reaches for them as well or preceded the current ones) teens and young adults being put through an invalidating, emotional meat grinder on this hellsite simply because a backlash against increased visibility made it popular to do so. 

I know it won’t get anywhere, I know they are greasy, obnoxious, immature, hateful, often racist/sexist/ableist/exorsexist and more. They very, very rarely will admit to being wrong and even more rarely will engage honestly. They thrive on negative feedback, especially if they’ve managed to do any harm that gets them a response. 

Exclusionists get off on walking all over us.

So I dont respond to engage them. I respond to let the folks I mentioned above see their dishonesty and shit-ass nastiness for what it is: Reactionary horseshit with no coherent structure.

It’s the same reason I believe you should drag TERFs and Nazis and MRAs and AnCaps and all other reactionaries because it takes their fucking teeth out when it comes to their would-be victims. They see that and then realize they’re dealing with childish asshats and makes it easier to promote how absolutely crappy their logic is. The more they are challenged en masse, the more they are cornered, silenced, reduced to illegitimacy and thats the effect we should desire. 

Knock them off their high horses. 

Another reason.

This shit is not discourse. It never has been. I can count the number of Exclusionists who arent rigid, ferociously single-minded and downright nasty on one hand. And there are a LOT of people on this site proudly rocking ‘discourse’ in their name as a vehicle to attack and harass.

How in the fuck is it discourse when instead of engaging-- they call us names, they deny huge chunks or the whole shit of Asexual structure, terminology as if they are an authority on it. They revise lgbtq history, they lie about the origin of terms (Allo, Aspec, so on), they claim its just the cishets but what they define as an asexual “cishet” is a constantly moving target-- or they go further than that and say asexuality/aromanticism simply doesn’t exist. They employ the same tactics and language structure as Anti-SJWs and TERFs. 

Why engage when you can just call someone [insert alignment here]Phobic?

Why engage when you have a massive bag of pithy, canned stock phrases which only serve the purpose to try and belittle someone or put them on the defensive? (This isn’t coherent/Imagine hating X this much/ wow go outside just once/’Mood’/calm down, no one is saying that thing we keep saying/inherently homophobic/Why do you hate gay men/pedophile!/You cant say we’re like this because some of us are [x] and that means you hate [x])

Why admit you are wrong when, even when cornered, you can avoid accountability and humility by just shittily restructuring some part of the community or it’s history and claim it always was that way? (”The community was founded on the intersection of [X]/It’s LGBTPN! It’s always been LGBTPN!/You stole/appropriated this from blah!)

Which brings me to this fact. This is not a conversation. This is not an exchange anymore than MRAs are in “discourse” with feminists or Nazis are in “discourse” with Jewish and Black people or TERFs are in “discourse” with Trans women and Truscum are in “discourse” with NBs or those they dont think fit their definition of having dysphoria. 

This is what Discourse means:

In order to call this discourse, it needs to fit one of these definitions. 

Where is the discussion/conversation/talk/dialogue in making post after post after post on a shitty sideblog thats just an attack, saying you wish (discourse flavor of the month) faces rape, violence, kills themselves etc?  Where is it for the repeatedly disproven lies, the hatemail, the shitty discourse-speak posts that serve no other purpose than to kick Aro/aces in the face? Where is it in just outright bullying people and making fun of them en masse for existing, this revealing how dishonest the whole “its just the cishets” crap is in the first place?

Find me the civil exchange in all of this? Where is it when anything they cannot deny (such as being toxic, ignorant, emulating TERFs and other reactionaries) is met with disgusting behavior, inexplicable accusations, verbal and emotional abuse and stonewalling?

It is not there. It has never been there. 

Reactionaries must be challenged. All of them. Every type. Face them head on because of all the purposes it serves to do so it will make their targets feel less like shit, less disempowered, less like they’re at fault for something just for existing. Less invalidated.

So just, yeah. Drag them to hell. Drag them and stop even TRYING to be civil or fair or gentle because they are 100% not doing that themselves. They do not deserve that effort. So dont reward them with it.

[zombies-with-radios]

Why I cannot do that.

I’m reading a lot of posts about Donald Trump and how Americans should support him because of his presidency. Let me just calmly tell you WHY I CANNOT DO THAT.

Donald Trump is not an ordinary president. He is not an ordinary Republican. I personally might have voted Republican had there been another candidate that was opposing Hillary just for the time being(in an extreme situation only) But that wasn’t the case.

Donald Trump is not a Politician. He has absolutely no experience for the job that he has won. He bought his presidency with his billions because be did not win the popular vote. But people ignore this.

They blatantly ignore the fact that he has sexually assaulted multiple women, degraded women, been openly racist to Americans of color, openly mocked a handicapped man at his rally, called wounded veterans “weak” and has removed our healthcare because of his vendetta against Obama.

Donald Trump spends so much time stroking his own ego and having immature Twitter battles online. Why do you all ignore these things? How can you respect a man who hasn’t shown respect in return? I don’t respect that man simply because his position..That would be called Blind Nationalism which is absolutely anti American.

Donald Trump pretends to be a Christian, but what sort of Christian sexually assaults people? What sort of Christian promotes violence and then promises to pay the legal fees for people who do? Is that what your Jesus wanted? No, absolutely not. He is not a Christian, he is not a man of God. He is a man for himself and his bank account.

You people sound like a broken record. You fear Muslims but you fail to realize that the extremists are just a drop in the bucket. They’re are MILLIONS of Muslims in the world who are just regular people. You are terrified of an entire religion because of hate mongering and racism preached by people like Trump. Yes. There are the extremists, but do not assume that ALL Muslims are terrorists. Do not assume that because then the same could be said for white people all being KKK, or Nazis. You cannot generalize like that because you are the one who looks stupid.

Gay marriage is legal because your religion is NOT IN CHARGE OF AMERICA. We are a country of many religions and we are under no orders to abide by a god we do not believe in. If YOU personally don’t want to get gay married, then DON’T. But you have no place telling other human beings what is wrong or right in their own life. It doesn’t matter what you feel about it because it has no effect on you. You shouldn't try to ruin other people’s lives simply because your own religion doesn’t like it. That’s not how a free country works. You don’t get to do that.

Illegal immigration needs to stop, but building a wall is not the way to handle it. How about making the immigration process more straightforward and cheaper so that families in need of refuge can actually move here legally. How about reforming immigration process to accommodate people that aren’t rich? Why do we need to build another Berlin Wall? That only preaches hatred and otherness. It tells our children that Mexicans are to be feared. It teaches the wrong message. Yes, illegal immigration needs to stop, but it will never stop unless we reform out policies rather than building a plastic bubble around our country.

I don’t hate Republicans. When I talk about Trump I’m not talking about hating everyone. I’m talking g about one man, one man who is about to make things really dangerous for a lot of people.

And I say this to you… If you are a white , straight middle to upper class person, Trump might not seem so bad.you want to know why? Because it won’t effect you personally. You will be fine because you are his target audience. But your friends, colleagues, acquaintances, neighbors etc…They don’t have that luxury. My Muslim and Mexican friends have expressed their absolute terror for what is to come and they were born here. People who aren’t in Trump’s ideal demographic are going to be hurt.

He has already started by taking away healthcare without a suitable replacement. I can understand repealing Obamacare..But if there is no backup..Lots of sick people are going to die. And for some reason, Trump supporters are just okay with this.

You think this man is going to “make America great again”… Tell me, at what point was it so great that we want to return to? We are still striving every day to reach that greatness. We have made tremendous strides with civil rights and gaining our freedoms..But now we might take giant leaps backwards. We are going to lose rights rather than gaining them.

So I ask you, how can you support this man? How can you wake up and support such a monster? Are you that uncaring for your fellow Americans? This isn’t a liberal versus conservative thing. We are way passed that. This is a freedom versus tyrant thing.

When Hitler first came to pow, he was popular, he was joked about and media outlets mocked liberals for being afraid of him. They told people that they were babies for fearing mean words. They treated him as a mockery but many supported those mean words. And that how it starts. It starts with words and then grows to actions. Trump already proposed tagging Muslims even if they were born here, and entering them I to a database…That was one of the first things Hitler did to the Jews when he rose to power. This is not some liberal conspiracy. Tyrants never begin as a fearsome monster..They start as a boisterous, radical leader who commands the attention of the rich and powerful. And you are blind to it.

I am just so utterly baffled by the fact that his followers seem oblivious to all of these things. I am so angry that this country sank so low.

You tell me to give him a Chance, innocent until proven guilty…..He is already guilty. Before he even took office he already did unspeakable things. He has no chances left. You have him chance after chance but your hatred for the left made you blind . You. Ant see passed your own pride. He is a bad man. He is a cancer on this nation.

I don’t condone violence and riots. I don’t agree with vandalism. But I can understand the anger behind them. Protests aren’t supposed to be sanctioned and ask nicely..Thats not what a protest is. And not to mention that the rioters are only a tiny portion of the protests that you for some reason choose to link together with everyone else. There are thousands of peaceful protests going on but you ignore that and only point out the small riots instead.

I think a lot of people need to take a minute to really think about why it is that they are alright with ignoring Trump’s racism, homophobia, sexism and just general nastiness. Why are you okay with this? Why am I labeled as some liberal hippie tree hugger because I happen to care about people outside of my own demographic? I dont intend to feel bad anymore. I’m tired of tiptoeing around the feelings of everyone else. We need to remove this man from office , even if another Republican comes to power I could welcome he or she with open arms for now. This is urgent and incredibly important and I seriously can’t stress that enough. You want me to respect a tyrant? I just gave you more than enough reasons why I cannot do that.

Big Boy Rant

guilty pleasures shouldn't exist. u should be able to love whatever u want without feeling guilty about it. however that doesnt mean u shouldnt call out the bullshit that comes along with it. for example i LOVE the vampire diaries. yet i can still acknowledge its unoriginality, mary/gary sue characters, repetitive plots, and how it jumped the shark by like the third episode without getting all butthurt. i know it has little to no real quality. i hardly gain anything from watching it. but bitch i still like it! YET IM AWARE! what i'm really sick of is the glorification of all these mediocre and bland shows that get off the charts ratings just because people are so obsessive with so obnoxiously fake characters. i'm talking about shows like pretty little liars (great plot at the beginning but do not try to tell me it didnt go downhill after the second season), riverdale (i love this show but there is not one even slightly original thing about it), thirteen reasons why (great actors, horrible everything else), orange is the new black (amazing characters, amazing plot, but the writers absolutely slaughtered everything that was good about it by the end of the third season), etc. etc. etc. then you have, like, second tier shows that are written brilliantly like shameless (hyper realistic dialogue, imperfect, relatable, original characters, representation of a ton of communities, call-outs on gentrification and aristocracy), SKAM (realistic representation of modern youth, somewhat typical yet interesting characters, pretty good representation of the gay community also im norwegian so im biased), game of thrones (aint even gonna explain its very well done) that are new and classic but with primarily white characters (before u come at me: shameless has two black main characters, one of which has like two lines total in seven seasons. skam has one muslim actress. everybody is white in game of thrones except for the tribe of people known to be savages and the other kingdom of people made out to be "middle eastern"). while thats pretty typical of western television, it lacks the ambition and fails to demand critical thought from its massive audience. all of the shows mentioned above flourish because of plot twists and like able characters. not strictly unworthy of watching, but not incredibly impressive nor thought-provoking, either. but they're super successful so they don't need to worry about shit that won't make them money. then you have god-tier shows that are cancelled after the second season. lemme just talk up the get down real fast. it's directed by baz fucking lurhmann. love him or hate him, he's super artistic and completely revolutionizes the way certain scenes are filmed. you have actors like jaden smith, justice smith (up and coming actor who was in paper towns and is hot ASF), herizen guardiola (first time actress who is just as amazing acting as she is at singing), jimmy smits (from the west wing, sons of anarchy, and dexter), and giancarlo esposito (gustavo from breaking bad!!). all of the main characters are refreshingly people of color representing both the ghetto and the middle class of the bronx in the 1970s. the plot line is super complex yet easy to follow. the dialogue is equally hilarious as it is heartbreaking. BROTHER U GOT FUCKING MUSIC! this show centers around disco and the very start of rap and hip hop. jaden smith is a closeted gay poet/artist whose story line does not revolve around being gay(!!!!). justice smith plays a young teen named zeke who is a mf good will hunting genius in the making who unapologetically writes honest poetry. the love interest mylene cruz is gorgeous, talented, yet painfully imperfect. her story does not revolved around zeke at all- she focuses on her career as an up and coming disco star and the struggle between fulfilling her dreams and pleasing her abusive, uber christian father. the "mentor", shaolin fantastic, is a drug dealing DJ and graffiti poet who recruits a bunch of high school sophomores (zeke and company) to be word smiths (rappers) for his spinning (DJing, otherwise know as The Get Down!!!). shaolin, peppered in hilariously cheesy bruce lee references, struggles with living authentically and obtaining money via coke dealers. the writing is fresh. its funny. its heart wrenching. its relevant, even though the show takes place in the 70s. just from watching this show i know who tf edward koch is who was actually a huge part of the history of new york and a big reason why racism is pressed into the art of graffiti, thus emphasizing the importance of expression within the black community. that being said, this show isn't anti-white or whatever the fuck u "reverse racists" try to pin it as. there are white graffiti artists, white businessmen who play a huge part in zeke's life, and white helpers of the puerto rican uncle trying to make a difference in the bronx. the issues of classism, racism, censorship, and familial struggles are addressed without being one-sided. this show educates you. it makes you laugh, cry, and most importantly makes you think. and it got cancelled cause yall motherfuckers are too busy losing ur shit over stupid drama and okay looking white actors (cole sprouse aint got shit on justice smith and thats the mf tea on that!) don't get me wrong: like whatever u wanna like. but u simply cannot deny the blandness of popular television when there are a variety of amazing, less popular shows that you can actually get something out of. with great power comes great responsibility !! when your audience is that huge, you have the opportunity to spread deep and worthwhile messages to the masses. i'm not saying make all shows political or whatever. i feel like the main message (that is often took for the opposite due to its romanticization of gossip) of pretty little liars is to not be a fake bitch!! idk what the FUCK riverdale is trying to say, and dont u dare come to me saying 13 reasons why is trying to bring awareness to depression bc that is some neurotypical bullshit, and yes not all shows need to have some higher meaning but isnt that the appeal of story telling? the bible? cant stop yall from having bad taste and like you do you but i want you to know that im fucking pissed the get down got cancelled and thirteen fuckers why is getting a second season that is all goodbye

Fandom meme: Runescape

the character i least understand

akthanakos… i mean there’s plenty of other characters i can pick but, they’ve really neglected him. i have to sit in the dark and think about my Son who loves camels and pretends to be a camel god in the desert. please i dont understand him. why does he love camels so much. please runescape let me understand, my son,

interactions i enjoyed the most

there’s honestly too many to count but i’m always really struck by how guthix and seren interacted. i cry about this too much

the character who scares me the most

it didn’t use to be like this but uhh. sliske. trauma. trauma is the reason why. and yes it counts as trauma to me when im literally scared of him and feel awful seeing his face or thinking about him.

the character who is mostly like me

if i’m gonna be honest with myself, armadyl. i’ve… been there. a hotheaded young person that just wants to do right in the world, but has trouble owning up to their own mistakes and blames the other person for their wrongdoings, their guilt. really, he has good intentions, but he struggles a lot too. also, i’m incredibly gay

hottest looks character

i know i’m gonna sound like a pleb saying this but azzanadra is pretty fine looking after that update. please dont kill me. i’m also very bad at judging characters based on Standard Attractiveness. i personally find seren very beautiful but shes my sister so? Does Not Compute

one thing i dislike about my fave character

hgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

i really really hate how anyone approaches zaros. they either completely ignore his wrongdoings or paint him as a Malevolent Dictator That Loves To Torture Everyone and honestly both interpretations are wrong. I dont like him being woobified. i dont like him being villainized. he’s a morally ambiguous being that came into existence as a GOD. he was literally born into one of the highest seats of privilege you can have. yet he’s still trying to learn? he realizes he’s made mistakes in his past and he’s doing his best to correct them.

i’m not saying he’s a good person. he’s not. he… fucked up immensely. but he also doesn’t know any better and to paint a character that still is learning, and hasn’t fully unlearned How to stop being privileged, and How to not, even subconsciously, try to bend everything towards his will (because thats how its always worked) because he’s “superior,” because it was his “divine right” as he Thought, as someone who didn’t Know Any Better, just really, really gets on my nerves

basically. one thing i dislike about zaros? PEOPLE TAKING GODDAMN MORAL SIDES WITH HIM LIKE EVERYTHING HE DOES IS PURELY OK OR PURELY EVIL

one thing i like about my hated character

he’s dead? like, half-dead?

no but honestly… earlier sliske was great. he was fun and interesting. i liked THAT writing of him before they took the… really awful boring Bad Storytelling route and wrote him off as a cheesy villain. though i will also go on for ages about how Jas’s influence and the Catalyst’s influence altered his behavior.

a quote or scene that haunts me

this literally distresses me to think about but i am REALLY REALLY unhappy with how azzanadra was written in sliske’s endgame. i never expected a character i admired, one i thought was better than resorting to petty racism that doesn’t even make SENSE for someone of his species and his temperament, to spew off anti-black slurs and be unabashedly racist towards moia, calling her all sorts of things that were… obviously insults aimed at mixed people.

basically i’m haunted by the Awful Writing of white british people and those scenes in that quest make me want to die.

a death that left me indifferent

linza. this really upsets me because she was a good character? and she did nothing to deserve this. i felt nothing when she died. it didn’t serve a purpose other than to give the quest writer a boner for killing off one of their few prominent female characters. again. it was lazy and frankly linza didn’t deserve that.

a character i wish died but didn’t

i legit wanted nomad to drop dead for good once you killed him in the quest (if you chose to) sooo i was a little pissed off when he returned again in sliske’s endgame. i was quite frankly sick of him?

my ship that never sailed

guthix/seren because it broke before it even left the docks

JESSIKA/KORASI SERIOUSLY THEY DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER

as for anything else i can still hold out hope and quietly ship from a corner but i’m still mourning over these two in particular.
