I woke up to this and am really thinking about this

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

A lot of Doctor Who fans really need to come to terms with the fact a lot of Classic Who being sexist and racist instead of denying it and stubbornly insisting it was all well progressive and ahead of its time. Yeah, some of it was, but a lot of it wasn't and refusing to acknowledge that just make you look foolish.

genshin players will be like 'boycott genshin guys dont spend any money on it!!!' but then actively play it, post about it, interact with official posts, give every video views, STILL spend money on it regardless they just do it privately, and just overall continue to promote it with their engagement. like well im sorry ur simply just not boycotting.

how do you feel about the concept of werewolves being animalistic? what i mean is do you like the idea of them being predatory over their pack, or the idea that werewolves might become aggressive when someone messes with their pack or family? and here’s a another one- how werewolves tend to be commonly in polyamorous relationships due to their pack lifestyles? i think it’s kind of cool. then again i love the idea of just close families and their desire to protect one another

I love animalistic werewolves so much. Generally I just love the idea of human(oid) characters being animalistic and kind of closer to their natural instincts and habits than more ‘acceptable ones’.

That said, werewolves in my rewrite will vary on this. Ones that live closer to humans and have a variety of human/werewolf heritage between the pack members will be more ‘socialised’ and have more ‘acceptable’ behaviour, and those that live further with very minimal human heritage will have a lot more of the wolf-like characteristics.

However werewolves are less aggressive to humans in general than they are weary, and avoidant (like normal wolves are). Those that don’t have frequent human contact will remain as far from humans as they can get. But they are still quite terriorial, if a human hunts on their hunting grounds, it’s kind of a ‘you fucked around and now you’re finding out’ situation.

Werewolves aren’t impacted much on a biological level when it comes to polyamory, since wolves are typically (though not exclusively) monogamous creatures. However, socially, it’s a lot more common to see because werewolves tend to be more accepting of that stuff. It’s not that it’s actually more common in werewolves, just more Polyam folk are open about it, and those that aren’t Polyam will probably still be dating someone who is.

However. On the topic of packs and their family-like dynamic. I feel the need to state- alphas don’t exist in packs in the way people like to think they do. In domesticated dogs, an alpha-beta like system does exist, but in wild wolves it does not. The ‘Alpha’ is simply the one that looks after everyone.

So in my rewrite, The alpha is the parent, older sibling, responsible aunt/uncle that babysits their nieces and nephews all the time. They do tend to be the strongest, as they’re often the oldest and the most capable to take care of and protect everyone, but they’re not the most ‘dominant’ one. They’re just the one that confiscates the sticks off of the three year olds before they can shove them up their noses and smacks you upside the head when you almost get yourself killed so you won’t do it again.

— also something else

Presenting werewolves as animalistic is not inherently problematic, but I do feel the need to say this due to how werewolves are presented canonically and the existence of racist tropes in media. Werewolves are displayed as a racial minority, and it’s not uncommon in fantasy media for racial minorities and their culture to be displayed through animalistic races, to try and dehumanise them. This is just to say, if you are presenting animalistic werewolves, do try and be mindful of the tropes that exist, and try not to do what Jesson did and go ‘oh but here’s an equivalent of their experiences to the experiences of actual irl racial minorities!’… because that’s weird. Even ignoring the implications of making werewolves a minority when Jess has a self-admitted werewolf fetish, and an observed saviour complex.

Do people actually like Micheal Scott?

Deeply pissed off by accusatory and condescending ask. You're free to correct me but not lecture me. I'm a person with triggers too. Entirely too exhausted to even figure out what you're saying with two essay length asks that equate mental illness stigma with genocidal colonization and also acting like my mutual doesn't have schizophrenia themselves. Please unfollow if you can't explain things without sending me condescending missives about how you're disappointed in me and I should know better and I post "deeply harmful" tags. I am too busy scraping the bottom of the barrel to live up to whatever standards of moral social justice behaviour you think I should follow. I am also utterly traumatized by my 17 years in the psychiatric complex, I am also in a mental health crisis and struggling with bipolar. Neither I nor my OCD appreciate it.

Edit: okay nevermind, after seeing what this person reblogged in response to my mutual's post I have blocked them. Holy shit the vitriol and name-calling. Absolutely no.

Yeah it's kind of ridiculous that so many critics read Xiuying as a demonization of femininity when it was obvious that she was a critique of how women who align closer to white-patriarchal (or Han-patriarchal in this case) standards of femininity endorse those broken systems because of how they benefit from those systems and aren't willing to check their prejudices as a result. Her comments about Shimin and Qieluo were clearly racially-motivated and her defending Yuanzhang's racism clearly indicated that she was not a good person. Just because she is soft spoken and gives generic platitudes on compassion and empathy does not negate that. Qieluo's hostility is a clear defense mechanism against exploitation after having been screwed over by systemic racism, xenophobia, and misogyny her entire life and that the rumors around her being a catty bitch is a clear reflection of how racialized women's anger is used as a cudgel to justify violence against them. It is wild that people took that complexity and boiled it down to Zetian doesn't like women.

some clowns really read all of Iron Widow and cheered on the girlbossery without picking up on how the demonization of racialized men was part of the callout

is this my sign to abandon enstars and finally find out what twst is about

[opencommunion]

read and reblog please

I want to make sure this information gets through to everyone: the racist genocidal German state could deport Bilal @bilal-salah0 within the next week, after he lost his job and home, heaping cruelty after cruelty onto this young man who has been working nonstop to provide for his family facing genocide in Gaza.

he's supporting 18 people there, including 8 kids under age 16. now Bilal needs to finish fundraising for his family before August 15th when he could be deported. that's one week from today.

Bilal needs to raise €25000 in the next 7 days to make sure his family has enough to survive if he can no longer fundraise. Bilal shared this dire news with us on Tuesday, but in spite of thousands of notes on @malcriada, @appsa, and others' posts about the situation, the campaign received only €3650 in the last two days.

it seems like people are somehow not seeing the urgency and severity of the situation. donations also slowed over the past week because Bilal couldn't be online to promote the campaign, and because of the recent racist attacks against fundraising efforts here. there's a lot of ground to make up and very little time, but we can do it. please donate any amount you can, those €5s add up if enough people help. reblog this as well as the posts linked above, and tell your friends and social media outside tumblr. and most importantly, seriously, please donate whatever you can. we need to come through for Bilal's family now, not later. please take this seriously, please help them.

August 8th: €75,467 / €100,000

How Black Unity Took Down One Of The Most Powerful white Men In sports Media

How Don Imus lost his entire career for calling these women “Nappy Headed Hoes”.  This was the final straw in the career of a career racist. his career ended and the conversation opened on this audience, because the Women of Rutgers Were Winners.

Yeah, dunking on Drake is fun, but I don't see a lot of people talking about the rest of the halftime show.

The dancers emerging to form a divided American flag. Uncle Sam telling Kendrick he's "too loud, too ghetto" and that America wants "nice and calm." Ending the performance telling everyone to "turn the TV off." And the fact that all of this is being very deliberately done at the Super Bowl, the most televised yearly event in the country???

This show was a beautiful celebration of Black American culture, a clapback against racist anti-rap rhetoric, and another chance to clown on a rapist, but it was also a condemnation of the bread and circuses of media that the Super Bowl represents. People want to stick their heads in the sand and ignore everything happening in this country, so Kendrick did something impossible to ignore.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.
