The child labor allegations are entirely because of the “region” NOTHING ELSE ITS JUST RACISM

[ohithankyou]

man if i was an entertainment journalist i’d absolutely be jumping at the opportunity to interview oliver and lou about buck and tommy’s arc/relationship no matter where my personal biases are. like you have this genuinely transformative queer love story unfolding in front of you and you can’t even appreciate it because it’s not the relationship you wanted. major L from every angle imo

I wanna throw my 2 cents in about the Shen Jiu argument:

I'm not in the scum villain fandom, but a few mutuals of mine are. And even I saw how Shen Jiu fans often get attacked and singled out by other fans in the fandom for no reason other than making content for their blorbo. So I can understand them getting defensive eventually

I know I'm still a pretty small creater and I may be drawing hate towards myself. But I want to make something very clear. If you are one of the people harassing @/emmettland/ @/emmettundead you are not welcome here.

Emmett is my boyfriend and I stand as a united front with him. So if you are one of the people harassing him and his friends. Please unfollow and block. My content is not for you.

[ohbo-ohno]

im done im done im actually done now LMAO if you really truly think im a pedophile and a danger to children there is literally no point in me attempting to change your mind. donate to charity and make some actual real change in the world instead of virtue signaling by calling some rando (me) out on the internet over porn i didn’t even write 👍

Honestly I get like hating dgr characters, some of them can be very shitty. But like- they’re kids. Even at their oldest they’re only young adults, so it’s kinda hard for me to blame them for making poor moral choices when none of their brains are developed. Like at least 4 years away from full development.

wha? they're not kids though, they're cartoons. some with bad writing. there are no brains to be developed bc they're not real

[goobatronic]

I’m vaguely new to tumblr what are the social rules here???

Like wtf is replying for? How is it different from a reblog?

Is the DID/OSDD community actually worse than tiktok here?

How yall feeling about non racist rage bait

[tinogiehd]

there’s people who have met dream multiple times on this tour who are being like “omg dream recognizes me” girl come on

yeahhhhh like idk i don’t pay enough attention to this stuff but if there are limited slots for meet and greets and you’ve met him before maybeeee don’t do that

[wiretism]

going on tiktok is the worst ive been forcefully reminded that ppl think headcanoning characters who are bad people as queer equals agreeeing with all their actions

[geekns]

@jokinwithjeanluc It is true that Braga killed that show (at least, he's who I blame for that and the last couple seasons of Voyager). But in terms of LGBTQ representation, I feel like it's got more than the original TNG did in terms of bi characters. IDK I was still pretty innocent at the time.

Yes we've all heard aroace people complain about the 'you haven't met the right person' line. But to the idiots citing this as the reason aroace people 'aren't oppressed’: No, micro aggressions aren't what's oppressing us.

I could talk about corrective rape, but I'm not going to because that's not what scares me the most. The worst thing about being aroace (aromantic, and asexual to a certain extent) is that society is set up for couples.

Being aromantic is a crushing economic disadvantage. As a couple, you can save more. As a legal couple, you can borrow more. This puts Mortgages out of reach for a lot of aromantics. Adopting too. Although aro people can adopt, you must have a similar income to a couple, which again, rules out a lot of aros. Don't forget Immigration, spousal visas will never be an option for us.

Being poor and aro means you're denied housing, family, international movement, basically anything that allos of a similar income would get. And anything you can get, you'll have to jump through many more hoops for. But we can't fix this by legalising aro marriage, like we did for the gays. Until our society's economic system is completely revolutionised, we'll be waiting.

It's impossible to compare oppression. You can't objectively say which minority group has it worse and I really mean that. But also I'd rather be called slurs and hated by Christians all fucking day.

While we're talking about some of Con's rather bizarre takes, what about the "Izzy and Lucius love story never told" thing?

I don't get this at all. I mean, just look at Lucius's face when Izzy crosses a boundary by takes a drag of his cigarette before trying to put it back in Lucius's mouth. That man is repulsed. Lucius would not fuck that old man.

It's a problem of the moral absolutism that seems to be a requisite of the internet--on both sides of a given issue. This person is evil and their work is evil and if you buy or enjoy their work then you're evil too!!

If you're reading this: don't feel bad. Love that book, show, movie, painting, or whatever. Do what works for you. Write that fanfic, share that gif, and draw that fanart if you want to, too. You feeling bad is not adding to the net good in the world.

Do what's best for your mental health. That might mean (mentally) killing the author, integrating what you know about them into your reading, or just carrying on as though nothing had happened. The Tumblr Police aren't going to be checking your bookshelves any time soon. And if someone on Tumblr does have a problem with what you're doing? Let them. It's theirs to carry, not yours.

i see a lot of people on tumblr struggling with guilt over their fondness for art that was made by bad people (even when the bad people in question do not materially benefit from it in the jkr way) and i really think if that's a problem for you then you should try engaging with some work that's more than a couple centuries old as a useful antidote. euripides believed and probably acted on a lot of things i consider insanely mind-blowingly evil and this shows up quite a bit in his work but i think it would be both sad and kind of silly to decide his medea cannot ever speak to me because of that

[mslaudnatemult]

Saw someone’s hot take that imodna was forced by the fandom and that’s why imodna is weird and not good…

My opinion: no

[dizzying-waves]

Shovel Knight being a small fandom is probably a blessing because I can already imagine so much discourse regarding King Knight.

[rat-rosemary]

^^^ yup

hey, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but the dream/quackity drama wasn't about doxxing, doxxing was a result of it (that I think at least the people here on tumblr will agree, is absolutely not okay). idk if you could even call it drama, bc it was just dream talking about quackity all the time, while quackity didn't respond to any of it. he didn't even say anything in response to the usmp announcement that was shortly after the qsmp started.

the later tweets might have been about the doxxing, but initially it was just dream having one-sided discourse and that's what tommy's making fun of in his skit.

It really isn't tho. Because Tommy made fun of Dream's long text that was specifically about how he was getting doxxed and stalked

The two big things about this situation, which are Dream reaching out to Quackity and Quackity ignoring him, are bad because they are about doxxing

Because Dream didn't stop reaching out because he was in real life risk because of that minecraft server and Quackity's fans, and he made it public because there were people going after his family
