An Open Letter to Dropout

@dropoutdottv I am disappointed in you.

I know that this will not change your policy, nor will you make a folloe up statement, as proportion wise the number of people you have lost from your last post, vs. the number of people you will lose should you make an apology and walk back the statement are not in any way the comparable.

But you have failed your Jewish audience.

A group of your viewers accused an openly and actively Jewish guest on one of your shows of being Zionist. Despite him not making any statements since the few days after October 7th.

So you made a statement, saying that no one you have had on identifies themselves as such. And that even if anyone did you would give them the room to grow, and learn, and repent from such a horrific view.

That you condemn the genocide. Which hasn't been found to be a genocide by the international court. Which has a death toll of combatants-to-civilians far less than even just the bombing of Dresden of WWII. An event can be horrific without being genocide. But calling it 'monstrous' or 'horrific' wouldn't have placated people.

Though I noticed that you haven't spoken about the genocide (or at least, wide spread persecution and inhumane treatment) of Uyghurs in China. But that may lead to you becoming completely banned in China. Which could impact your bottom line.

You will give more money to PCRF, and you encourage people to donate to UNRWA.

What is wrong with you?

What is it, that an accusation of 'Zionist', which can mean anything from "Israel exists now, and it no longer existing is bad" to the Kahanist definition, requires an immediate response and excuse?

You continue to recommend supporting UNRWA, despite documented proof that UNRWA members took part in October 7th.

In your first milque-toast response to your Discord's meltdown on the subject you supported JVP, and mentioned that there are several equally horrific events going on around the world.

But you haven't supported any of the other causes.

Several of them are far worse than what is happening in Gaza, but you haven't raised a cent for them.

You continue to tacitly support JVP, despite any affiliated Jew saying that they are clearly not Jewish. There practices show that they don't understand Judaism, and their founders and board of directors is mainly non-Jews. They have a page on ADL describing all the Antisemitic acts that they have done. But you still keep a pinned post in support of them.

Why aren't you fundraising for WCK? They do good work in Gaza, and unlike the rest of the groups you platformed, they haven't had a single accusation of association with Hamas.

But, you treat a baseless call of 'Zionist' as if it were a nearly credible call of 'Nazi'.

You make a post on this, the day before the American Election, but haven't even done a single 'go out to vote' post?

What is wrong with you?

Are you afraid that because @samreich is Jewish, if you don't get in front of demands that all obvious Jews you have on demonstrate their alliance with 'the cause', people will start to ask if Sam Reich is 'one of the good ones'?

To be clear, this isn't antisemitism.

This is performing for an audience that doesn't realise that a witch hunt for Jews, demanding that the Jews show that they are 'good jews' is in fact antisemitism.

This is focusing on one conflict to the exclusion of all others. Perhaps Myanmar and Sudan just aren't that important. Afterall, no one is talking about them.

Feeling the need to address baseless accusations thrown on obvious Jews that haven't performed well enough.

You have sent your message.

I am unwelcome.

I hope it was worth it

you know that post about how addiction isnt the only way to read Jon's journey in s4, there's also a reading where it's about what you're willing and ethically allowed to do to live (and several readings can coexist)-

it reminded of an older reading i havent seen around in a bit; that cynical lens, about what you do when you realize you're part of a system that benefits you only on the back of other people's suffering. Not the only or the best reading, but i did want to share it for people who might not have seen it before

So there's a way of gaining power that's maybe always been with humanity, but perfected by rich british men in the 1700s and 1800s. they made it into a science. the system has been used for centuries, by old rich families, organized religion, the police. And you, a young british man, have been set up to benefit from it nearly from birth, without knowing, without your consent.

And that doesn't mean it's kind to you; it will gladly feed on you if you don't play by its rules... but. play by its rules, and it will give you power.

This system only functions by the suffering of others. by the time you really truly understand what it's doing, it's unfathomable that you could break free from it. your well-being depends on it, the lives of the people you care about are shaped around it. so you perpetuate it. to live with it, you tell yourself; that it's really not so bad as it seems; that the hurt you cause is not in your control; that it's justified because you will use this power for the better; that you're not a bad person because while you harm these people just as much as the real monsters, you feel bad about it, and that has to mean something... right?

Eventually these powers cause the end of the world. the realization sets in that there is never a way to do good with this system, no matter who uses it or who is in charge: it must be destroyed entirely. but by this point in the story it's so interwoven with the world that destroying it causes terrible collateral damage - or you look away; once again; pass the consequences on, to people you will never meet.

These are ocs purely for me to indulge in my stupid little love for detectives and mystery stories. And i rewatched the great mouse detective and I'm going a wee bit mad perhaps. I'm not sure.

[krotiation]

I don't wanna make any long-winded posts arguing with people but I figured it would be worth saying something to the people who feel insecure about posting certain characters now

No, you're not in the wrong for talking about certain characters/ships. You're not secretly misogynistic or internalizing anything based on your favorites. Don't let people psychoanalyze you over fiction and don't take unjustified criticism to heart. You know yourself better than strangers on the internet

And oh my god, you are not annoying for making posts about popular characters. Any fan content in small fandoms is good content so keep it up! Talk about whatever you want and go ham babes

[ragnarlothcat]

Longish, sort of personal and spoilery post about my fic knows best (daddy kink fic) below!

So I posted a long overdue update to my daddy kink fic a couple days ago and the people commenting have been kind and funny and encouraging (I love this community so much) but it’s gotten me thinking about family dynamics and I want to defend (or at least muse about) my idiots (i.e. Obi-Wan and Anakin) a little bit. Even though they are a) imaginary and therefore not in need of my defence and b) acting completely ridiculous, by my design.

If I can speak personally for a second (sorry) and probably too revealingly: my family isn’t very close. There’s no particular bad blood or anything but my friends often insist that they must talk to their parents at least once a week or they regularly hang out with their siblings outside of family functions. Meanwhile my family will all cheerfully leave the country without informing the others and we’ll only find out when someone posts a picture or mentions a hereto unheard-of trip to Belize or something.

I remember when I was fifteen or so my dad invited another family over for dinner and at several points the teenage eldest son put his little sister on his lap and tickled her. I approached my dad after they left and basically asked him if we were just witness to some sort of sex crime. He got very huffy and said that what we saw was perfectly normal and that I shouldn’t judge other families for how they show affection. Which, fair, but also his family was the only one I’d ever really known—the values he’d instilled in me and the behaviour he’d modelled were my only baseline.

To be clear: I am not complaining about the comments I’ve been getting even a little bit. I’ve been loving them all and agreeing with them because it’s true, Obi-Wan and Anakin are doing an absolutely terrible job of pretending to be father and son. I know this! I wrote them like that on purpose because it’s (hopefully) funny and hot!

I guess I’m just feeling introspective because if I were in Obi-Wan and Anakin’s shoes (raised in an environment where I was exposed to no families), or indeed the shoes of any of the criminal bystanders, I’m not positive I could recognize the intricacies of the other family relationships. I could easily see myself as one of the teen criminals going to my mom after watching Obi-Wan hand-feed his adult (supposed) son like “hey what the fuck is wrong with those two?” and being told that it’s none of my business and that all families are different. In this instance my imaginary mother would be wrong because there is a lot wrong with those two but it makes me think, you know?

very few 'parenting' things frustrate me more than parents who give their screaming kids an ipad, but I think "emotionally neglectful for 20 years and then wondering why their kid isn't thriving/adjusting to adulthood well, so they try to make up for it by being an overbearing helicopter parent" might take the cake.

Okay I’m going to be so for real. If *I* have to write something for the Big Bang, I’m lowering the expected word count for the casual event to 2.5k minimum. I trust y’all but not myself 🙏😭
