I have a lot of wishes for the internet, but one of them definitely would be increased media literacy - or at least the ability to actually read/listen to what a post actually says before the brain works shut down.
I just got a prep kid radfem accusing me of pushing gender roles and stereotypes on a video where I expressly state that my gender identity doesn’t change and isn’t defined by how I dress or present. I’m sitting right now in a light flowery shirt and bright pink hot pants with free-hanging tits and I’m still a dude.
Is acknowledging that gender stereotypes exist pushing them? How exactly do you want to combat them if you won’t engage with them?
Obviously not confronting the kid because they’re a kid, but at some point you just want to bang your head against a wall and yell “you have a brain, use it! YOU CAN READ SO DO SO.”

i’m so disappointed in noah dear god. putting his stance on the conflict aside, why on earth is he making jokes about it??
‘zion!sm is sexy’ really?? really???
it doesn’t matter that he’s jewish, why is he making jokes about people being murdered? because that’s the reality, this is a war. people get murdered every day. in MASS numbers. making jokes about a literal genocide isn’t funny. it should not be posted with a laughter on social media.
another thing, putting around stickers like this as a white rich american is an incredibly privileged behaviour and i can’t believe he did it. he has a platform, has fans, many of them young and impressionable. making jokes about something that gets thousands of people killed weekly, especially from his stance of being nowhere near the danger of being killed in the middle of this war is just plain tone deaf.
i don’t know what i’ll do with this account, i might be less active and just take a break for a while because i’m just. i don’t know. i didn’t expect him to be this tone deaf. and i’m still hyperfixated on byler and stranger things so i don’t know. anyway war jokes aren’t funny and i can’t believe not everyone agrees.
#as someone whose country was caught in the middle of the russia ukraine conflict#not funny#and the way it was plastered on social media???#plain tone deaf#noah schnapp#also this isn’t an excuse to be antisemitic#it’s a ‘do not make jokes about genocide’ callout#do NOT be antisemitic to noah#it doesn’t make you any better than him

i guess i have to say it a million times since people insist on being dense: gale is just as much of a victim as the other companions. this isn't the trauma olympics. everyone has been through shit and deserves healing and redemption.
gale is not the self entitled, manipulative abuser people are painting him as. he's a lot of things, but nothing so heinous. he was groomed by a goddess who has a history of preying on wizards that threaten her power, and as a result, gale's ambition and faith was what drove him to discover the netherese orb. what he did was for mystra - in his mind, it was to prove his love by restoring her missing power - and by extension for the betterment of mortals. his actions were never malicious or selfish, in fact he puts himself so low on the priority list it's pretty much non existent. he was never going to use that power to usurp her, but mystra definitely saw it like that, which is why she didn't hesitate to present suicide as his only solution. he never crossed her personal boundaries in the way people are twisting it, he only wanted to cross the boundaries she put on wizards and their power.
people who insist he's all of these things and more clearly only spoke to him once or lack the reading comprehension to see past how much of an unreliable narrator he is. i can understand first impressions might put some people off, but you can say the same about the other companion introductions. i don't like comparing but since people insist on doing it; gale is one of the easiest companions to get along with just by being a good person, yet his honesty and selflessness makes people think he's secretly evil? while the companions with the capacity to be evil don't even try to hide it? how are people being so backwards about this? it's genuinely baffling and tiring to see people continuously spit out incorrect takes all too confidently.
no one is forcing anyone to like him, but it's unfair to completely mischaracterize him because you refuse to learn critical thinking. i promise using your brain is not as scary as it seems, or you can just. not talk about things you don't understand.
#all of them have issues but that doesn't mean they're irredeemable monsters. unless you push them to but that's on you#people are shocked that astarions ascended ending is so bad. yeah what did you expect from a soul sacrificing ritual for power lol#i cannot stress this enough. i don't care if people don't like gale. i care and am annoyed about the complete lack of media literacy skills#to the point where people are ruining such interesting characters. its a shame people can't appreciate good writing when we finally get it#anyway whatever idk if this makes sense its like 4am and ive looked at this post for too long#i have so much more to say but again its like not worth telling if it falls on deaf ears#gale dekarios#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3#bg3#six speaks#and no obviously im not saying the others are worse im just saying how do people accept astarion when hes Actually manipulative but not gale#i love star but we cant pretend hes not like that . and we cant pretend that gale is

I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes
#dune#palestine#gaza#free gaza#science fiction#media#Like yes the popcorn bucket is dumb and tone deaf marketing#but like you have a lot of connections#lot of it was very much allegorical to the real like events that took place during the time of the books conception#Including the good guy faction still imposing their own idea of correct environment by introducing a bunch of their own agriculture#When natives to the region do have their own tech and plants to live from#because they know their land and how to live in it#Oh and also spice being a resource being plundered for great profit that a imperial society is reliant on and will kill for

If we ever get an HoO tv show, I would LOVE if they gave Jason albinism. It would just be great to have that representation, especially if it was done well.
It wouldn't need to be a big focus and honestly it would be kind of weird if it was, but just little things. He could wear protective glasses, and maybe have him shielding his eyes if there's a time they get knocked off or he has to remove them.
#i dont think i can actually name any characters with albinism#but i might just not have consumed the right media#while we're at it id love other representation as well#like vitiligo#eczema#we got a girl in a wheelchair at the archery range#which gives a little hope that we could have disabled characters#rick wrote D/deaf hearth in magnus chase#so hes not opposed to disabled main cast#and we also got hephaestus#played by a disabled actor (yay!)#and then of course there's the fact that almost every halfblood has dyslexia and/or adhd#but I would love a physically disabled character in the main cast#i just wonder if he would make that change or not#percy jackson fandom#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#jason grace

As a young woman who is both deaf and an amputee, Alaqua Cox would seem to be an unlikely choice to star in a Marvel Cinematic Universe series. But she made a huge impression playing the role of Maya Lopez -- a.k.a. Echo -- on Hawkeye, and she was given a spinoff series, Echo. And her co-star on the show, Vincent D'Onofrio, said she's one of the most incredible actors he's ever worked with.
Echo is currently streaming on Disney+.

Seeking Deaf People to Interview for My Research on Deaf Representation in Animation!
Hello to everyone here,
I am looking for people who are deaf or have hearing disabilities to interview for my Master's research. You can be from any background or any country, as long as you can communicate in English and/or Malay.
The objective of this research is I want to know the direct perception from people in the deaf community themselves on their opinion on this issue. The interview, if it's face to face (whether video call or physically) should only be about 30 minutes. Otherwise I am open to doing written interviews through emails if you feel more comfortable with it.
I have yet to get any response yet from this form so I am now expanding my search outside of Malaysia as well. Please help to circulate this and share and reblog this, or if you are the person I am looking for and interested to participate, please fill in this form and I will contact you soon.
Thank you. Please help me out with my Master's research, I appreciate it.
Link to form: https://forms.gle/NHmd6mFUpCD7RYwS7

Knowing sign for diversity purposes in a superhero media is great and cool but it is also useful. Tired of there being moments where heroes are trying to be quiet and they whisper in media where they make a point to show they know sign.

neera's isolation comes 100% from her mother placing that fear of men being a menace to their kind. it is all due to her father and their past together, sure, but also the way people interact with nature (destroying it, taking too much without giving, creating unbalance) magic (wanting to cheat death, wanting to kill without consequences from the spirits) and how the previous kings used tika's shamanic and magical knowledge to their political games (especially her father but that's extra info for later). she didn't want neera to go down that path of corruption, in a way. neera actually ventures to the town to purchase things and is capable of handling herself, thank you very much, and does more and more of that now that tika vanished leaving her alone not only for supplies but also for CONNECTIONS, FRIENDSHIPS. and therein lies the danger because : she's a curious soul naturally about people as long as they don't endanger the verdant and the library. if she gets discovered as a "witch" too, there is no question others might true to use her abilities for their gain.
#tika was a druid and was corrupted by humankind#her fear is her daughter with human blood going down that path#something i'll write more about on development but ALSO#very important for interactions#neera is secluded for 2 reasons#her job as a keeper for the forest that takes a lot of energy and care because it is full of creatures of all sorts#and her mother's teachings that she is letting go of since they were never HER fears#for herself truly#she can communicate extremely well so it is not a language boundary and i think that's so important to say#especially bc of how deafness is depicted in media#˗ˏˋ dev. ⟶ ❛ let the rain fall upon you ❜

Zionist in my replies would really go full enraged Israel apologist mode and then finish it with "Yes I know it's sad but they had to establish dominance with the other 99%" regarding what Israel is doing
Full on apartheid mindset and it's their own words, thanks for contradicting yourself ✌🏼
If you're a Zionist, 'both sides are suffering' supporter, 'Palestine is breaking treaty' rhetoric or Israel apologist, I'm not even gonna argue with you because there's no point if even after every evidence and proof you're still blind. You're getting blocked
#i remember that verse of Quran..#“They are deaf‚ mute and blind as they don't understand”#and i know no matter anyone argues. they won't see. even when seeing all proofs#oh and i don't even know where you got the idea of Palestine breaking a treaty. does your propaganda take everything Israel does and replac#it with Palestine?#bcoz even with the western media publishing continuous Israel propaganda . there was not a single news saying Palestine broke a treaty#who're you trying to convince here? someone eho grew yp on the news of what's been happening in Palestine all these years?#get real#free palestine#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#free gaza#fuck zionazis
