Looking at the Scott McCall Tag:

Are we still doing the bit where we watch Gerard kidnap Stiles because Scott loves Stiles so much that Gerard thinks it's the perfect way to make Scott obey him and transform that into incontrovertible proof that Scott is a BAD friend?

And are we still doing the follow up skit in which Stiles would turn to the Hale Pack for support and friendship? From Erica who brained Stiles with a car part and kidnapped him, from Isaac who physically assaulted him and complained about having to look for him, from Boyd who declared they weren't friends, and most especially from Derek "Head Bouncer" Hale, who never mentioned Stiles during the last two episodes of the season?

Are we still doing this bit where we ignore that the only two people heavily invested in finding Stiles after he was kidnapped was his father and Scott McCall?

Are we still going there?

Or is someone reading too much racist fanfiction?

[thedissonantverses]

There are three types of Veilguard critics:

1. Bigots.

2. People who wrote this game in their head ten years ago and got surprised when BioWare didn’t cater to them or their ships. It’s not a dating sim.

3. People who say “The dialogue sounds like HR is in the room”, or this game is “sanitized” or “disneyfied” because they either didn’t play or weren’t paying attention. It sounds like an AI wrote it and it’s redundant, reductionist, and reactionary. Get new material please.

(Sincerity under the cut.)

I kid I kid there’s a fourth bonus type. The fans that wish EA would give Dragon Age the time and resources it deserves and have valid, nuanced critiques that I enjoy reading. Your disappointment is valid from one long-time fan to another I’m legitimately sorry the game didn’t resonate with you the way it did with me.

But y’all have got to recognize how many of the bigots pivoted away from saying stuff like “queer people bad” and “diversity bad” to saying “writing” bad. They didn’t go away and taking a second look reveals the homophobia and transphobia and racism lying under the surface. I promise you this is as much of a Dragon Age games as the others and there’s a ton of meta analysis to be had if you’re looking for it.

I’m absolutely not saying that everyone who uses the “HR is in the room” bullshit is a bigot but a LOT of people who do use it started because they were looking for any excuse to hate this game. Parroting it blindly does nothing for the discourse and just serves to further marginalize members of your own fandom.

Yikes!

You know I was starting to worry I was too harsh on longing-for-rain, but evidently I wasn’t harsh enough.

⛔️ WARNING! Mentions of RAPE and RACIAL ISSUES!

Also please DON’T send longing-for-rain death threats. What she’s doing is messed up, but it does NOT warrant death.

So long story short, her weird fic, doesn’t only depict Katara getting brutally raped in graphic detail, but also apparently her family IGNORE what happened to her, why? Because Zuko has to be the ONLY one who understands her, literally making him a imperialist savior and demonizing Katara’s relatives (who would literally beat Katara’s oppressors to death and revive them with spirit water just to beat them up again) just to prop up Zutara. I can only imagine how horribly Aang is written.

This next line sums it up best…

I’m honestly tired of LFR and her mindless drones, playing the victim, if she has suffered from something similar to (her fanfic version of) Katara, I sympathize with that and she doesn’t deserve to be sent death threats (something I should’ve been clearer on in the beginning), but she really doesn’t care about depicting real-world feminist issues to support women like she claims, she no a crusader for women and the trials they go through, she literally ONLY cares about forcing Katara and Zuko together above all else, that’s where her motivations lie under the guise of feminism. The primary reason for the fic was to put a 14 year old indigenous girl through torture just so Zuko (who need I mention was initially oppressive towards her in Book One) can be her savior and the only one who understands her. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself and being the victim in her own twisted delusion, demonizing and name-calling anyone who DARES to criticize her.

Oh and by the way if you’re an actual indigenous person, she’ll happily call you racist for disagreeing with her over Zutara supposedly giving Zuko better in-laws (ignoring who Katara’s father in law would be).

F*ck longing-for-rain and her fans.

How Stranger Things (poorly) handles racism as a topic compared other heavy topics it successfully tackles

before we get started, I would to direct you all to some other accounts who have already discussed this that you should check out either before or after reading this post: @wewebaggit @googoogagaeyes @elekinetic and anyone else please feel free to tag yourself or another account that’s discussed this and I’ll happily boost it

Content Warning for in show examples of racism and discussions of racism, as well as mentions of homophobia and the AIDES epidemic

.

. While we're discussing historical accuracy in stranger things and homophobia + ignorance being present even in well meaning characters, I want to point out that if the writers of the show weren't so squeamish about addressing racism in any in depth way, than this type of historical accuracy would be for racism too.

what I mean by this: in this sense, the show is not consistent. It's clear that the writers have done their research on 80s homophobia and how openly prevalent it was, if the AIDES allegory in season 2 and the way homophobia was very clearly present in seasons 1 and 2 (it still is in seasons 3 and 4 but the first 2 seasons showed it in the scope of the entire town), but racism was just as overtly prevalent, and yet the writers have neglected to address it in the same thoughtful and coded way. if the show was just as consistent about racism as it is about homophobia, than the white characters would be at the very least shown as ignorant just like the straight characters are.

and I'm not going to say that it's completely ignored, because that's not true:

-in season 2; mike makes an ignorant comment that implies Lucas should have been Winston because he's black, and Lucas calls him on it. There's also the very racist undertones (that are practically overtones) of Billy's treatment of Lucas. -There is almost nothing in season 3 except for a jokey joke when Nancy says the whole party is her family and the receptionist, who is a black woman, gives Lucas a skeptical look.

-Season 4 is a little better, with the implications (key word: implications, I'll come back to that in a moment) of Lucas's season 4 arc being that he was trying to fit in because he didn't want to be racially targeted and bullied for being a nerd at the same time anymore, that he felt like even more of an outsider compared to the rest of his otherwise all white friend group who, as far as he knows, are all cishet and giving him shit for wanting to lessen how much he's perceived as an outsider because he's automatically seen as even more of a "freak", and his friends just weren't getting it because they were white and ignorant. So the writers aren't blind to race and racism.

However. None of the examples that I've just listed are addressed later in any in depth way; not like the homophobia is. The only one that's even remotely delved into instead of simply being glossed over is Lucas's s4 arc, and even that is still very flitted around and left up to interpretation of the audience.

The writers seem to have a very "hit and run" sort of policy with addressing racism. They clearly know they should, and they at least seem to know that having a black character in an 80s setting with a cast of mostly white characters inherently creates a lot of racial subtext-

-for example, the very loud subtext of Jason (a white boy much older than Lucas) seeing Max (a white girl) in a trance alone with Lucas (a black boy) and immediately assuming the worst + Jason's white friends tackling an 11 year old black girl to the ground: subtext that I'm still not sure if the writers and directors were even aware of bc they never addressed it and their track record isn't great-

-but they hardly do anything about it.

I'm not surprised, considering this show is headed by two white men, but what really gets me is that they all truly could have tried harder. Like I said earlier, it's clear they've done research and put thought into addressing homophobia (it still could've been handled better but that's an entirely different conversation), and it's evident from Max's s4 arc that they also did research on Depression, PTSD, and the impacts on someone of their abusive family member dying. So the lack of care and thought put into addressing racism in the same way is clearly more than ignorance (which would still be bad, when you're writing a show this big in 2023 with topics like this you're actually, shocker, responsible for making sure they're addressed properly, ignorance is a choice at that point), its just fucking lazy. they don't care. And this not caring is inherently harmful on a show this big and frankly, I'm tired of so many viewers and people in this fandom straight up ignoring this fact, just like the show runners.

And I haven't even covered the complete lack of effort put into Patrick's backstory, or the fact that Erica is very much the sassy, mature for her age black girl stereotype (she deserves so much better). Oh, And we can’t forget the copaganda.

I'm glad that season 4 started to explore the dynamic between Lucas and Erica and expand on both their characters, and from the looks of things that will continue in season 5, so the writers have a chance to do their research, actually put effort more effort into the sinclair sibling’s characters, and improve, and I'm hoping they will but as of right now I don't trust them to, and won't unless they prove me wrong.

TDLR; the main issue is that Stranger Things is clearly a show that addresses topics like depression, abuse, homophobia, and racism, but the racism part is neglected compared to the others, just like how Lucas and Erica's characters are handled poorly compared to the white characters,. it's lazy, horribly insensitive, and racist in and of itself. There's a clear bias, and even if it improves in season 5 we still should be talking about it, and more white people (yes white queer people included, we are not exempt from this discussion, if anything we should care just as much about it as when we’re talking about homophobia) in this fandom need to start listening when black and brown people do talk about it instead of just waltzing through and ignoring it for your own peace of mind.

also I should clarify that I myself am white, I made sure I did research before making this post in order to talk about this accurately and consciously, but if I made any mistakes or said something insensitive or used an incorrect term or anything else, feel free to correct me and I will readily fix it

as a final note: please check my rebligs of this for links to more posts that talk abt this issue

[diaryofamadsunwukongfan]

So Tumblr's still not letting me reblog this person

So I made this post to point out the massive amounts of ableism/racism in the anti rwde community

[wolf-tail]

The way you fucks will just let that shit happen js disgusting. Ya'll are not allies I hate you.

[fairie-grl]

not all max verstappen fans are racist but all racist are max verstappen fans

[ppfw-out-of-context]

[leaf-in-a-flower-garden]

Yanno what's super discouraging? The fact that 80-85% of artworks of the official sky discord are whitewashed ones, and some of them are made by such talented artists but you can't bring yourself to even consider interacting with it because it is ultimately whitewashed, and you could never support someone who does that.

[cyatzura]

the discussion around the wang yibo blackface / racist movie controversy makes me feel insane, like even if you accept the reasoning (which i do not) that a) the connotations are different in china and b) that actors are not able to refuse roles, that would just mean that for a) international fans should complain / boycott even more loudly and for b) why support sth that you believe the actors you like are forced to do even if they don't want to

[bejeweled-wahlberg]

Also wild kratts fandom please know to block the user on tiktok @mylittleponynerd aka @Skylairdusk you can click the link of the post from @vazaez , @kaythefloppa and @pilot-kratts-au https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/pilot-kratts-au/716783813542445056 this reblog from @pilot-kratts-au will explain but as someone who used to be friends with her I’ll explain my experience with skylair

⚠️TW: SUC!DE HOMOPHOBIA AND RACISM MENTIONED⚠️

so when I asked her was she okay(btw this was when I was still active on my before-archived account) she said that she was feeling a bit sscidial which I was surprised cause i was worried (but this was when her tumblr was still up at the time and when I still came back into my WK era at the time) but she said that she ruined friendships(which it confused me) so I lied to her saying that I ruined friendships too but really I have a bunch of friends on tumblr and irl aswell but back to the story I tried to convince skylair not to kll herself but she didn’t listen in which I made this post from my old acc at the time I regretted making this post which I made one year ago(which again I regretted making that post I regretted about being her friend)

but what was weird about her twitter posts was about her being the “victim” or smn but she did mention Smn about black people in which it was really racist of her and some homophobia posts that I also saw considering how I already came out as gay but never told skylair since she’s a homophobic so then yesterday as when I saw Vaz’s post I knew about it since I first met her so that was my experience with skylair

Again I’m sorry that this isn’t the regular content that I post like my art or the messed up au aka WK:ANG but I’ll be back to the regular posting today at sometime but for now have a picture of this cat sticking out his tougne

Sorry for the tagging and the explaining again 😅

ECU High - Glenn's Books

Glenn sits down in a chair across the way from his therapist. Ever since his foster parents took him in, they had him see her regularly. It's not as if they think he's a bad kid, it's because they care about him. When they learned what he went through, they knew he needed help. This was a boy who desperately needed to know that there are people who care and want to support him.

"How are you doing today, Glenn", she asks.

"I feel like *expletive*, Ms. Sperry" he answers glumly.

She tries to frame this in a more constructive way.

"Is there any particular event that recently occurred?"

He sighs and rubs his eyes.

"Vince" he replies as if that's been his answer for a long time.

She makes a similar note of it in her file and asks, "I see. What did he say this time?"

"That I'm trailer trash. That my mother was a no good *expletive* who just wanted a green card. Hell what hasn't he said at this point?" he cites knowing this has gone on way too long.

Ms. Sperry sighs as she writes down everything Glenn says.

"Have you felt that you can tell a teacher about this? If everything you say is true, this is a clear case of bullying."

Glenn looks at her as if to say sarcastically "gee why didn't I think of something so obvious like that."

Ms. Sperry notices Glenn's expression.

"What's wrong?"

Glenn sighs and states, "It's a he said, she said situation and the teachers won't do anything about it unless there's clear evidence. All they care 'bout's if you fight. Vince knows I only need one more suspension this year before I'm expelled, so it's like he wants to purposely push my buttons."

Ms. Sperry continues to write down what Glenn says.

"I see. So you feel as if the school isn't doing enough to stop him because these are only verbal confrontations. Since I don't work within the school system, all I can do is suggest that you have at least one other student with you. Someone who can step in and tell Vince to leave you alone."

Glenn's about to cut in when she finishes her idea, "Vince likely feels that because of his new status he can say whatever he wants to vulnerable students with no consequences. If you had someone willing to put in Vince in his place and make it clear that what he's doing isn't ok, then it's possible that he'll no longer feel that power."

Glenn thinks and can only rub his face.

"Then he'll just start kicking things up a notch. Vince hates it when he's not in control of people. Me and all of the other underclassmen know that it isn't going to stop until it's too late. Vince is going to push someone too far and someone's going to get hurt."

Ms. Sperry sighs.

"I know you feel helpless in this situation Glenn. Given that I'm only responsible for your wellbeing, I'm just trying to give you advice on what you can personally do. What do your foster parents do to try to help?"

"They're always checking me for bruises and attend PTA meetings so they can talk about bullying. There's something they say will change the school's policies about it, but I don't know if it's gonna be enough" he says groaning.

She writes this down and notes "I understand at the moment it doesn't help your situation, but I hope you can feel at least a little better knowing that there are adults who actively want to help you. Doesn't the fact that your foster parents do everything in their power to make sure you're ok make you feel little less alone?"

Glenn thinks and despite his feelings of pain agrees.

"Well. I guess something is better than nothing."

She smiles sympathetically and says, "You don't need to be alone in this, Glenn. I'm sure there must be at least someone at school you can consider to be a friend."

Glenn rubs his eyes.

"I think some of the other freshmen could be. They don't outright say they hate me or look at me with disgust."

Her eyes light up.

"That's good! I think if you truly make an attempt of opening up to a potential friendship with at least one of them, you would feel less alone. You don't need to make these big gestures to try to impress them. All you need to do is find a common interest."

Glenn perks up a little when he remembers his first day of school.

"I did meet one dude named Ted who loved 'A Tale of Two Cities' and adventure novels. I actually checked out 'A Tale of Two Cities' because of it."

She writes that down and says "How do you enjoy it?"

"Charles Dickens was a genius! You really get the idea that you're in France during the storming of the Bastille."

Glenn really seems to lighten up once he talks about his books, that Ms. Sperry has an idea.

"Glenn I think you should try to establish a friendship with Ted. I believe your love of books would be enough to have a common ground with him."

Glenn settles down and nods.

"Yeah. I think you're right, Ms. Sperry. I already think I have something developing between me and Deke. We're not in the same grade like I am with Ted, but he at least knows..." he trails off for a second.

"He at least knows what it's like to not be able to have the people who made you in your life. He has a different set of parents too and I think that he just understands what it's like even if he is fully white."

Ms. Sperry keeps smiling as she writes this down.

"I'm glad that you feel that way, Glenn. I hope that you know that I'm proud of you. I wholeheartedly believe that things will get better. You're already heading in the right direction."

Glenn's eyes mist but he composes himself by shaking her hand saying, "Thank you, Ms. Sperry."

She looks at the time.

"You're welcome, Glenn. I hope to see you next time with some good news."

Glenn stands up and heads out the door.

"I'll do my best."

As he heads outside where his foster dad waits for him in the car, Glenn feels that he now has some extra tools to make life better. He hopes that one day, he'll feel like he can actually be friends with others.

Color pickers are good! Light does not take over all of your skin unless you're being circled by mini suns!

[ehh-is-the-name]

so basically here's my understanding of the groink situation:

taylor came back to apologize, groink commented accepting it when he is not black which upset alot of people

groink later made an apologize on discord

his first apologize was terrible, so he make a second one

im not black so i dont have any say i just observe, but basically that's all i know, groink left to reflect on his mistake so idk what happen to aib

i hope i didnt make any dumb mistake in this, im rlly dumb, if someone can cover this topic better than me plz do lol

oh my fucking god, are you serious...?

I was genuinely worried he did some fucked up stuff he was apologising for. People are seriously labelling him a racist and a bigot over this? I can't with this drama.

so happy for Jonathan he deserves as his fan since 2012 I’m glad he’s getting his chance and time but yeah the way bridgerton  family acted when Rege left like Phoebe didn’t also leave was pure racism bc they can be happy for Jonny but was attacking Rege for it! Hypocrites Wbk the Bridgerton fandom is filled with miserable losers and just overall horrible people who hate on actors because their lives are so insignificant and sad that they have to hate on actors in general like most are with Nicola 25/8 and Luke for being close to her 😂 or to Rege for wanting better roles and bigger opportunities for himself in hard cruel job/business especially for him but they are also the same people being happy celebrating Johnny (as they should bc he’s worked hard for it but the hypocrisy of it all) or celebrated Phoebe for doing the same for their careers wanting more like Rege did! We all know why they hated Rege for picking himself over horribly lazy written show but are celebrating Johnny now N celebrated Phoebe when she left!same reason they hated on Edwina/Marina and Rege/charithra all these years pure RACSIM nothing more nothing less just that
