#but they just like. shut down

[throes-of-warm-tornadoes]

as a visually white looking person i know i am throwing stones in glass houses when i say this but some of you guys are so fucking annoying in ethnic studies/race related classes. like we were talking about white privilege today and a term that came up was unearned advantages. then this white liberal (important context for the rant) raises their hand and is like “that term rubs me the wrong way because not being brutalized and being treated as a human being should not be a privilege, it should be a given. so instead of saying unearned advantages we should flip it and say that non-white communities have undeserved disadvantages” which like werkkkk but also

1) as a white person, the word “we should do this” when talking about poc should not be in your vocabulary. like u must be speaking french bc this “we” you are talking about does NOT include you. and it will never include you. also what do you MEAN that poc *should* rework the way they talk about their oppression because it rubs *you* the wrong way

2) when the prof and several of our peers (all poc) explained why this would harm poc more than help (they said that undeserved disadvantages = flipped the phrase in white peoples favor since it gave them an opening to be like “why do poc complain so much about being disadvantaged?? they always do this”) their only response was ��still… it doesn’t sit right with me.” like okay. the crazy thing about that is it doesn’t have to

3) this person in particular is VERY picky with their wording and phrasing. like every time they open their mouth to answer a question it’s like they’re trying to reach a word count or something, and i’m not saying that it’s bad to adopt formal academic ways of speaking in a more casual environment, but that requires u to know which words ur even gonna SAY. like they’ll take a very long time to answer the question and it’s because they’re taking a lot of pauses to articulate their thoughts like they’re tryna craft a research paper. and i get that they don’t want to come off as offensive, but can i be honest? as a white person, you will say something offensive at some point or another. maybe even about multiple communities. and it won’t be a one time thing. but how you respond to it matters. i’m not saying that they were wrong to think that way, or to share what they thought—everyone said that they agreed with them ideologically, even if they didn’t fuck with the semantics—but the fact that they doubled down after multiple woc explained why they were NOT having a mega mind moment probably didn’t sit right with them (them being the woc in this case). and then after class they went up to the prof and was like “i hope i wasn’t being offensive!! that wasn’t my intention i hope u don’t hate me 🥺🥺” like if i can be honest no one is mad at u for suggesting we use different language to talk about white privilege. the way you reacted just gave them the ick. esp when u had nothing new to bring to the table other than their responses not making personal sense to you as a white person. maybe it’s me talking as a woman, but i have never been raised to frame my thoughts as suggestions—only questions. i was thinking about if that were me i would have been like “how do you feel about using these terms instead—“ or “why don’t we use these terms—“ instead of flat out saying that we *should* use these terms

anyway. i’m kinda having a white person moment rn by making this whole long rant about how that personally struck a chord w me (didn’t sit right, some might even say…) when in actuality this impacts poc a lot more. i need more stones

Cue the batfam launching a counter campaign in support of Signal,  the real Light of Mankind.

It starts as a joke but quickly derails into an all out war.

Laios works part-time at a grocery store and is a mildly successful twitch streamer and one time this really fucking hot shirtless dude wanders into frame and everyone on Laios' chat starts freaking out like WHO THE FUCK IS THAT- HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MAN SO BEAUTIFUL YOU STARTED CRYING- LAIOS THERES A HOT DUDE THERE- and Laios is like ahahah that's my friend Kabru! He sometimes comes over after the gym to take a shower while I make him dinner! He loves my food! And everyone in chat is like LAIOS ARE YOU STUPID- LAIOS FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK- LAIOS HES AFTER ANOTHER KIND OF MEAT- and Laios is a little bit offended like. No! He's just nice! Don't be mean you'll make him uncomfortable!

And then someone recognizes Kabru like "OH SHIT I SAW HIS FOUR PARTER ON ART AND MENTAL ILLNESS IT MADE ME CRY" and they dig up his SMs and he's like. A political commentator and activist/youtuber who speaks like 9 languages and has an history degree despite being like 22 and is working towards an anthropology degree now and pays the bills by being a fucking. Fashion model and there's INSANE photoshoots of him in all sort of artsy high fashion pictures in b&w like covered in bloodied bandages in BDSM gear dressed like a priest etc etc interspersed with like very good thinkpieces on consumerism and art and politics and the very rare YouTube 4-parters on random subjects with INCREDIBLE visuals and everyone is like what the fuck. What the FUCK Laios how do you even KNOW this dude and Laios is like he kept showing up at the grocery store during my turn and asking for ideas on what to make for dinner and one guy in chat asks but aren't you usual on at nighttime and he's like yeah it was like 3am for the most part and everyone is like LAIOS PLEASE

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

If you’re a danger days hater I think maybe you need to actually listen to it. Like I’m soooo sick of people acting like it’s insanely different from the other albums- it’s about rebellion and trying so hard to protect your loved ones and your cause until realizing the only way to keep them safe is to die. It’s fucking edgy as shit actually. I’m sorry if you don’t have the capacity to see that a different vocal delivery doesn’t change everything about a band then I don’t know what to tell you. Like “oueueueue I miss when they were emo 😒💔🥀😢” what if I shot you with a gun. Do you know what emo is at this point. I’m killing myself and writing your name on the bullet sorry

C'MON TO THE THEATER!

I love these guys so much. forget NRC, I want to attend their terrible disaster school for disaster children that might actually be plastered on top of the smoking remains of an actively sinking ship. I may or may not actually learn anything, but I will have the time of my life.
