oh no, who would have thought that fanbois who love idolizing facists for their fascism are actual unironic fascist racists themselves.
You can be a fan of villains just as long as you KNOW theyre fvcking Villains and KNOW such behavior is evil and is NOT a thing anyone should aspire to. But yeh, it need to be spelled out A LOT of actual fvcking morons out there.
Its when you start UNIRONICALLY agreeing with the fictional facist, making excuses for everything they do, doing Olympic Mental Gymnastics just to make moronic statements as to why "um actually , this Concentration Camp/Death Camp/Gulag for the People Who are Not Us is for the good of everyone". It means YOURE AN ACTUAL HATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT, who only reason for loving a Facist Character, is because you are an actual hateful facist too.
well, billions of you morons believe and worship a sexist homophobic genocidal evil MONSTER god that you misappropriated from the Jewish Mythology, so, ya know, its not hard to believe that youre all susceptible to Loving characters less evil than the god youre worshipping. Youre indoctrinated from birth to be hateful pieces of shit. You believe and worship in FICTIONAL evil gods, so of course youre UNIRONICALLY attracted to other evil fictional characters and agree with everything they do.

“How did America fuck up this bad” coming from the “Kamala is the worse choice between the two because she doesn’t fit my specific narrative” website, is fucking rich. How did America fuck up this bad? Because of YOU, you fucking moron. What did you fucking THINK was going to happen? We ALL told you this was going to happen if you didn’t vote for Harris. You can’t act surprised now, and you won’t be getting any sympathy, nor are you actually a progressive or leftist advocate — you’re a passive supporter of fascism. And now you have the proof.

Surely inquiring minds wonder why I am so frequently so hostile toward liberals and especially rationalists when I encounter them online, and you might be surprised to know that it's less emotional than it may seem.
Indeed, it does try my patience to see moronic whites discount the work of the global south revolutionaries and thinkers who have done basically all the hard work making the world a better place in the past century and change, but the sum total of that irritation is not anger but disdain, the disdain necessary to basically say whatever comes to mind to make sure their interactions with me are as hurtful and humiliating as possible.
And you may ask further, okay anomie, whatever you say, but why That though.
Well you see, my maximum conflict, maximum hostility doctrine toward liberal "intellectuals" is borne not of an emotion, but of an heuristic.
That is, when you have a clique of liberals who are exposed to the thought of global south intellectuals and revolutionaries, exposed to the thought of Marxists and communists, and still choose liberalism, that says something very important about their values.
Specifically, it means that for the time being, at core, their allegiance to the imperial core and to its masters is greater than to the oppressed of the world, and certainly to any "leftist" principles they claim to be fond of.
And that is bad, yes, but more than being bad, it is a liability. Liberal pseudo-intellectuals like these are worse than dead weight in any serious left-wing movement, they are a net negative. And what's worse, despite their arrogance and lack of intellectual talent, they sometimes catch the ears of well-meaning communists largely out of being half-decent writers.
Personally, the thought of a liberal pseudo-intellectual being in a serious decisionmaking decision when the shit hits the fan makes my fucking blood run cold. That's what motivates me.
And so, I have elected to do all that I can to make these people the right's problem. I'm already reasonably certain that once a major economic crisis happens in the US most of them will join the ranks of cresting explicit fascism anyway, but just in case any of them might keep cosplaying left and undermining the communist cause, I will engage in every hostility to get them to leave the left, because they aren't needed and indeed we need to have as few of this type as possible
(Incidentally this is why I am civil to those whom I recognize as genuinely talented regardless of their current ideological leaning)

"Sorry, but you have a political voice and it’s your duty to use it."/"Anyway, Harris 2024." Kamala Harris is a fascist. Or do you not really understand fascism and think it just means "the people I Don't Like and Think Are Bad"? Are you just stupid, or being deliberately ignorant? Either way, you're a fucking moron. Kamala Harris is further right than Trump on the border. She is further right than Trump on the military. She supports genocide. She is not your savior.
Lol, I’m literally signing up for a call center to get people polling information and registered to vote. Harris 2024
#vote#us politics#2024 elections#kamala harris#rock the vote#you’re just giving me more spread#sorry you cannot fathom grey areas and the least of two evils#the system is not good! I’m still gonna work it#go vote#seriously go vote#don’t let me gf get her rights taken away please#republicans literally want to kill trans people

<3 I was so worried they were going to try and turn Cap into some kind of spineless coward in this series spouting some moronic "Don't fight hate with hate" bullshit and I am SO GLAD that instead we got this bad ass goodness right here instead <3
Like
The sheer euphoria I feel at seeing Steve Rogers himself saying that absolutely 100% yes, an oppressed and persecuted minority should use any means necessary to wipe out fascism and working with this team of heroic and awesome Mutant freedom fighters to get ridd of every single fascist seeking to stand in the way of Mutantkinds prosperity and freedom <3
I also like to think this scene is a deliberate fuck you to some of the garbage writing Cap got in the past, because bad writers have often made the mistake of writing Steve Rogers as some kind of boot licker or coward
THIS is Captain America
Captain America knows that the only way to deal with "people" like ORCHIS is to kill every last one of the bastards so they can't threaten the world
Also extremely proud to see Cap 100% being on board with bad ass mutant freedom fighting tactics like this
<3 MORE OF THIS MARVEL <3

Genuinely gobsmacked that I saw someone I follow on here call not voting, or at least putting pressure on the democratic party, "single issue voting" and implied it was a lesser of evils and harm reduction.
I know some people are callous and ignorant and nasty but how can you think you're a good person if you ignore all of the everything else. Such a white middle-class mindset if all you see is a single issue, never mind being completely ignorant of electoralism at all. YOU are the single issue voter, bitch. YOU are the unreasonable little fuck.
Palestine deserves our advocacy because American money, American politics, and American munitions are directly responsible for all of it. It is not only condoned but encouraged daily by the same people these cunts want us to vote for. If you disagree with that, then you disagree with that. Just say it - don't be a coward and pretend like you care about their lives. Just fucking say it with your chest: its all a performative game to you. You only care so long as it doesn't potentially impact you.
Because let's face the facts, these people are also the same sorts who have no time, advocacy, or attention to any of the numerous imperial terrors that the democrats - or k harris specifically - have sown in only the past four years. All of which the current nominees had their hands in. Is it single issue voting if I don't want someone to be president when they've been ghoulishly and comically evil in regards to border policies, migrant concentration camps, reproductive rights malaise, LGBT+ rights, and for not enabling or encouraging but actively creating the new pandemic of militarized policing by using the National Guard to abuse, kill, and maim citizens that you don't agree with? These seem like more than one issue, all of which are perhaps adequate reasons to utilize one's electoral right and responsibility (as you see it) to vote for a candidate who has their interests or the country's interests in mind.
Like, sure, you can sit there and be an absolute dumbfuck and write off Palestine because you are a bad person but the unfortunate truth here is that by just voting for the people who make things worse - red or blue, same team different colors! - you're just another idiot who is choosing to crouch behind the curtain like every other ghoulish system-fellating moron who just doesn't have the guts to be uncomfortable for the five fucking minutes it takes to pressure Democrats into doing something, anything, other than rapidly whirlpooling into fascism.
If you hold those opinions you are simply uneducated politically, academically in history, socially, and you are letting your comfort mean more to you than actual people's lives - yourself included, because you're SO willing to let a million canaries die as long as you can go about your day without being challenged or feel complicated.
Every single civil rights advocate who was assassinated by the US government has quotes about how you people do this, too. Like, you are aware that you're that shade of person right? The white moderate, the quasi-liberal, the fucker who won't even acknowledge the knife is there. And don't think people didn't see you play pretend and immediate discard the BLM movement just as quickly as it went out of vogue because you were "tired" from COVID, not because you actually cared about black people.
Where was your advocacy and attention during Trump's first presidency? Why did it stop when the blue team switched into his chair and made so many things worse? Because that's your team?
All you need to do is shut the fuck up, to stop telling people to not feel for others, advocate for others, or adhere to their own moral codes. Nobody needs to know that you're a big coward pissbaby who is turning into the next ghoulish sycophant like Pete Bootychug and his ilk, gleefully wiping your brow of any and all social responsibility the moment you decide that voting for the Minnesotan police state guy and the woman who loves genocide and hates migrants get in office.
You can, and should, just fucking shut up if you want to vote so badly for them and do nothing else.

Jon hugged Injustice Superman, then got sent home and took the completely wrong (but wholly expected) lesson from the experience; stop trying to do more, lest you become an overachieving fascist.
Is Jon done? How on Earth do you walk that back? It's all so sad.
Anonymous asked: Any thoughts on the "resolution" and ending of Jon's mini, as well as his lukewarm future with more Tom Taylor writing?
Anonymous asked: Comics this week? Especially the ending to Adventures of Superman and the prospect of T*m Tayl*r continuing to write him?
Suppose with three asks I have to write up a post don't I? What a waste of time this all ended up being.
Haven't been reading this mini, was smart enough to learn my lesson after Son of Kal-El, but I did ask someone to DM me details just to see where Taylor left Jon. Someone was kind enough to share the details and even send me the final page. Not only is it exactly what I thought it would be, but I can't even console myself with Taylor "leaving" Jon. He's dragging the poor boy with him over to Titans, which sucks... but I've already emotionally severed my interest in Jon. After starting off by asking his dad to do more, Jon meets an evil version of his dad and gives up on trying to achieve anything beyond preserving the status quo. Only two choices for Superman are to be a hapless bystander or a fascist tyrant, and Jon's big emotional conclusion to his journey under Taylor is choosing to be feckless.
Making it all a complete farce is that Clark is doing more himself! He went to Warworld and led a slave rebellion to topple Mongul! Since returning to Earth he's teamed up with Steel to revolutionize Metropolis with Kryptonian tech. PKJ has had Clark outright say that his conversation with Jon pushed him to do more, including gathering the Superfamily together to work together as a team. Williamson has Clark trying to redeem Lex and use SuperCorp for good, and Williamson Superman is all about multiple characters "taking the next step and moving forward" per Williamson himself. Dichotomy Taylor presents here is utter bullshit, as seen with how the other Superbooks are being written. You can do more without falling into fascism, it's not a binary choice. And Jon's pacifism here is worthless because it doesn't actually change anything or benefit anyone. Murderman is still evil and won't stop, we know he has to be taken down with violence by an alternate Clark no less, Jon's hug failed to reach this guy. For fuck's sake he breaks alt Jay's arm just to make Jon mad, this guy is cartoonishly evil and beyond sympathy. Speaking of alt Jay, he's fucking dead right? No way does Murderman not kill him after Jon disappeared.
As for ol' Murderman himself, I guess Taylor might be seeding stuff for the inevitable Injustice 3. Val-Zod and Red Tornado Lois are left stranded in the Phantom Zone, which you'll recall is where Murderman ends up in what is likely to be the canonical ending. If that's why Taylor left them there then he'll probably just rehash this mini with Murderman meeting Red Tornado Lois there - she'll tell Murderman to stop and he'll flip out on her. What is left to even do with this character at this point? He's a one note dictator who reacts with murder and assaults to anyone who stands up to him. Any attempts at sympathy are wasted by how he is a mustache twirling bad guy. Only morons who worship these shitty game tie-ins as the only DC they've read think this is profound. Otherwise Clayton Henry was drawing a variant cover for Beast Planet that featured Val-Zod, maybe Taylor will bring those two back for that book. Either way I don't care. Done with Jon, Yang is coming back to write Kenan, that's the real news. Sweet dreams Jon, you had the potential to be great but now you are utterly unsalvageable.

a tumblr post in 2024:
OP, a fairly reasonable take: look guys i'm mad about Biden funding genocide too, but things will only get worse if we let the Republican Party win! they will literally kill even more people. #VoteBlueNoMatterWhat!
a nineteen year old, probably: OR WE COULD BLOW UP THE SYSTEM!! I know how to make bombs!
OP, suddenly an insane person: look at this idiot. trans people dying is YOUR PERSONAL FAULT and not at all the fault of the constant and intentional failure of Democrats to ever actually protect the rights of marginalized groups in the face of rising fascism, while being all too happy to hold those protections over our heads in order to mobilize us as a reliable voting bloc!
useless reactionary liberal: your glorious revolution doesn't exist, sweatie. Real Leftists™ would never resort to violence. you guys are basically Trump voters! opposing The State "for cool anarchist reasons" is LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME THING as QAnon attacking Congress on January 6th! leftist groups like the Black Panthers carrying guns "for cool anarchist reasons" is LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME THING as the NRA! theres actually zero difference between good & bad things, you imbecile. you fucking moron.
me, in the notes: hey does anyone in this thread smoke weed?
#i'm making fun of but not making up that useless reactionary liberal take. i had to read that exact fucking take with my own two eyes.#anyway these are the kind of posts you get when we get like four inches of snow in TN with no sign of it letting up any time soon#joke tag#i cannot emphasize enough that this is a joke#but also for real some of what y'all put on my dash is like 1/4 to 1/2 reactionary garbage.#plz i'm begging y'all to understand that nuance does not mean propping up the voices of centrist cowards. it really doesn't.#anyway that's it for my disclaimers. [with deep resignation] vote blue woo...

Notice - So, I've been going through blogs I follow on here... and it turns out some people I follow are... not who I thought they were when I followed them. I figure at least one of those could potentially be a mutual. So, just to get it out in the open (keeping in mind these are USA centric):
Elon Musk is a fucking crybaby idiot. If you think that man deserves an ounce of my respect, get out.
Bernie Sanders may not be a perfect man, but he's fucking better than most other options the US has had in the recent past.
Trans rights are human rights; trans women are women; trans men are men.
Minimum wage needs to be higher.
Billionaires need to be taxed.
Everyone deserves housing.
Everyone deserves medical care.
Everyone deserves food.
Capitalism is a shit-show.
99% of republicans are utter assholes/idiots (the 1% is basically just that republican guy who voted in favor or trans care. He at least has earned the right to not be grouped with the rest.)
Fascism is BAD.
Actually, no, fuck that, FASCISM IS UTTER TRASH AND IS BAD.
Queer people deserve rights.
Disabled people deserve rights.
Greta Thunberg may not be perfect (I don't really follow her honestly), but she doesn't deserve people to shit on her because she voices concern for the future.
Cars are something that we are forced to own. Hopefully someday in the future people can exist without needing to own one to live.
Global Warming is A FUCKING ISSUE.
Women should have bodily autonomy. (Yes, this includes abortions).
America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY. It is a country where christianity has been a dominant religion, but it is not one that is defined using christianity.
Black Lives Matter.
All Cops Are Bastards.
Trump is a fucking moron, traitor, monster, and several hundred other things.
Gun control reform is needed.
Decriminalize drug use, because, believe it or not, most people who use drugs are using them for a reason; sometimes that reason is "get away from the shit world we live in." And as long as this world is that shit, we shouldn't punish people for trying to find escapes, no matter how much we disagree with the method they use. (In other words: Don't punish people for trying to dull the pain of the world. Help them deal with that pain.) Also turns out a lot of people who are addicted to said drugs, DON'T WANT TO BE ADDICTED. They just can't get help because if they do they end up in jail. Humans deserve compassion. Humans make mistakes. People deserve help.
Racism is bad.
Sexism is bad.
Cis, cisgender, and similar ARE NOT SLURS.
We seriously need prison reform.
Critical Race Theory is not evil or bad.
DeSantis is a fucking idiot.
Vaccines are not evil. They help.
Do not sexualize children.
Sex work is work.
Teach adequate sex ed in schools.
The school system here is kind of a pile of shit and needs serious work.
#important#lgbt+#queer#notice#racism#critical race theory#transgender#gay#nonbinary#anti capitalism#fascists fuck off#Punch all nazis#trump crime family#fuck desantis#sex education#black lives matter#acab#all cops are bastards#human rights#vaccine#prison abolition#global warming#elongated muskrat#elon musk#fuck elon musk#fuck elongated muskrat#fuck trump#fuck jkr#fuck ben shapiro#bernie sanders

You're correct, i tried to rush my reply and made a mistake. Very disrespectful, i know ;)
No interest in the substance of the argument, what what? Real convenient, you dingus!
Let’s be real: if you had a single credible source proving the "fascism is leftwing" fantasy, you’d be throwing it around instead of dodging behind all the accusations you had to pull out of your diaper. remember: serious historians only.
So, your problem isn't what I'm arguing, just how i'm arguing? Sure, label me a bully all you want—it's a cute way to dodge the issue. Keep defending your online girlfriend from the terrifying crime of being asked for credible sources, probably helps you deal w/ the doublethink if you imagine yourself as the heroic knight in cosplay armor. It blows my mind how you idiots delude yourself into believing you are the victims while using more aggressive language than i do and being blatantly wrong. Getting a few snarky comments is not harassment you big fucking baby, especially when you make claims like that. Nappy time is over, you must have been dreaming that your babbling settled a debate. Did a big doo-doo in your panties didn't you? Ask Dora to put a new diaper on, bet he gets off on wearing them too ("bring back kindergarten!!"hahaha!) Why can't a grown-ass man, who is posturing as a booba enjoyer expert on history and Marxism and dismissing all critics as leftist morons and making u-tube videos about it, defend hisself?
Honey, I’m quite proud of you for not using AI to retort, which I can tell because you can’t format your posts for shit without it. That said, let me let you in on a little secret: nobody owes you the arguments you want to have, especially if you out yourself as a creature with no substance, both in character and with the AI stuff. I don’t give a flying fuck about the stuff you and @yourtoradorasextendedwarranty were arguing about when your hate boner for him started. I’m just letting people see what you really are.
“A few snarky comments”, you shit heel? You’ve been proudly boasting about how you’ve made him your “lolcow”, and you’ve been doing this for months on posts he never tagged you in! Just because you clapped back harder sometimes does not mean you aren’t a bully or a nuisance. And people being “blantantly wrong” does not give you righteous justification to act the way you do, no matter what leftism has taught you. I can only assume whatever audience you’ve cultivated, if any, either doesn’t agree with that or has the same sociopathy.
You’re hardly a serious historian. You’re some dork on a computer who LARPs as a historian while using AI (poorly) to do his thinking and arguing most of the time. Those aren’t bad things necessarily, but when you try to act superior to people you interact with, they don’t serve as a strong foundation.
In any event, Tora doesn’t need me to defend him. I’m just doing this in the hopes we both get a laugh out of it. And maybe show other people that you aren’t worth engaging with seriously. That goes for you and your evil-fact-checker LARP blog.
Also,if you want to keep debating with people on the internet, or you want to keep projecting and pissing yourself in my ask box and peoples’ replies, consider the phrase “an ounce of charisma is better than a pound of words”. Your AI seemed to get that, at least.

ppl on my dash who are talking about how they wont vote for kamala bc shes a genocider or just as bad as trump: you are actually moronic like yes shit sucks but someones you don’t get a good option and u have to fucking make the best of the lesser of two evils because guess what yes it is better to pick the party who somewhat, even preformatively, cares about the wellbeing of society than the party who will Literally be implementing Actual Fascism with the help of their Fascism handbook that they have written and ready to follow step by step. fucking obviously. god you guys are so fucking stupid

This is probably the worst fucking time for this post but I do not care anymore. I'm sure people will get pissed at me but idgaf
How fucking many people have been posting about palestine and then immediately pivoting to telling people to vote for "99% hitler" (fuck all of you for thinking voting for hitler should even be a possibilty)
So fucking two faced.
No I don't think Trump will be any better, but at this point this country deserves to go to shit cause our comfort is not more important than palestinian lives. And then people try to act like people are so villainous for pointing this out and get defensive. Its almost like some form of white guilt, if I feel like I'm being attacked it'll make it easier for me to vote for and endorse genocide, I don't have to feel bad about my choice cause people were mean to me :(
I see that post about how no ones firebombing a walmart so vote, but the opposite also applies you morons. You can't vote your way out of fascism cause the left has gone so right its just another color of upcoming fascism. Do you think most radical changes happened cause we twiddled our thumbs and just voted?
Gonna preemptively turn off reblogs. Yeah I know thats "cowardly" I don't care I am not discussing this and my emotions are running high, posting this is probably a mistake but I'm done. I'm def purposefully spending less time on here right now. How have politics gotten so fucked that we're talking about voting for "99% hitler". Fuck this.
#vent#tdc rambles#also fuck that person for totally missing the assasination attempt now that fucker is even more of a martyr fuck you dipshit#this country cant fucking do anything right

When ChatGPT first blew up I was in a meeting about how this would effect my industry. I said "doesn't matter, it's a flash in the pan, the whole market is a bubble (cause it was obvious even then that it was a bubble) and there isn't a practical use for half of these products" and I got called an idiot. But I'm right. No one has produced a real use for things yes, other than the minor cases suggested above, and even then, is it really worth the computational power and energy consumption and water that it takes to run these things to make something like a better facial recognition (a tool mainly used by the state for carceral purposes) or better auto-correct? I don't think so personally.
The bubble is going to burst, just like it burst on crypto. But what worries me is the damage that will be done before the bubble bursts. AI will not replace you or your job, but your boss will stop listing your job and instead hire, at a lower wage, someone to fix the bad outputs the AI is producing. He might even pull a sort of magic trick where he says your position is being eliminated, but offer you that shittier position correcting the AI and it stumbles around "doing your job".
In the time before the bubble bursts AI will fill the internet with useless swill. AI generated images instead of real ones in search results, AI articles that contain nonsense at best and dangerous disinformation at worst. In the time before the bubble bursts the internet may ve sk utterly clogged with machine generated drek that it is simply no longer useful.
In the time that it takes that bubble to burst students will become used to using AI to do their school work for them, losing out on valuable practice in basic skills like writing and research. It doesn't matter if that's cheating, many teachers are being told to just put up with it, or even to explicitly allow AI generated work be turned in. Underfunded and overworked teachers are even now being told to essentially give the fuck up on anything like academic rigor at almost every level of the education system (from what I've seen it's the worst at the college level but I've seen it in primary and secondary education as well). We are gonna lose a generation of kids to this swill.
In the time it takes for this bubble to burst AI will be used to diminish the dignity of workers across the world, make them accessories to a machine that their boss claims does the "real work" and deflate wages and benefits. This tactics will be used to bust unions, casualize work, and make everything just a bit more shit. AI will be used to systematically destroy institutional knowledge in innumerable industries because it represents a new way to attack every executive's worst foe: his own employees. They won't abolish payroll but they will gut it. And in the long run it will probably just kill their company. Because the bubble will burst, it will cease to be possible to sustain these unsustainable systems. The weight of what is lost will pull them down when the tools stop working or continually degrade into mush. No one will have the skills or information necessary to save them. We will witness a genuine hollowing out of our culture and capacity to function on a societal level just to enrich the ruling class.
What happens after that? Well the monied folks are basically already betting on a climate Apocalypse that will land us all in Mad Max world and are building fortified palaces for those contingencies. A lot of them are angling to obliterate the fig leaf of democracy and civil rights we have in the western world and replace it with literally just feudalism. It won't matter when the collapse happens cause they'll still be rich and on top.
I dont think they're right. I dont think the world is going to devolve into the thing they imagine it will because all of these guys are morons, like actually drooling idiots when you listen to them talk about the world. But it could be bad. It could mean a descent into Fascism. It already seems to be heading that way given the complicity of the entire western world in the genocide in Gaza.
So we have to fight. We have to resist this. We can't let the AI hollow out entire industries and institutions, and we do that in part by identifying that it is not the AI that's doing this, it's the capitalists running the show and calling the shots. We have to organize on every level against this power grab by capital, against the genocides, against the climate Apocalypse, because if we don't, and things just keep rolling onward unstopped, it's going to land us in a truly heinous world.
so like I said, I work in the tech industry, and it's been kind of fascinating watching whole new taboos develop at work around this genAI stuff. All we do is talk about genAI, everything is genAI now, "we have to win the AI race," blah blah blah, but nobody asks - you can't ask -
What's it for?
What's it for?
Why would anyone want this?
I sit in so many meetings and listen to genuinely very intelligent people talk until steam is rising off their skulls about genAI, and wonder how fast I'd get fired if I asked: do real people actually want this product, or are the only people excited about this technology the shareholders who want to see lines go up?
like you realize this is a bubble, right, guys? because nobody actually needs this? because it's not actually very good? normal people are excited by the novelty of it, and finance bro capitalists are wetting their shorts about it because they want to get rich quick off of the Next Big Thing In Tech, but the novelty will wear off and the bros will move on to something else and we'll just be left with billions and billions of dollars invested in technology that nobody wants.
and I don't say it, because I need my job. And I wonder how many other people sitting at the same table, in the same meeting, are also not saying it, because they need their jobs.
idk man it's just become a really weird environment.

I don’t feel like rewording this so here’s my original post:
Wings of Fire’s third arc reads like Tui Sutherland is one of those (white) people who gets offended by people bringing up slavery and discussing how 1600s-1800s white slave owners and slavery endorsers are bad people who should know better, so wrote an entire arc of books on why racism and fascism aren’t caused by indoctrination, hate, and selfish people benefitting off of the oppression of others, but a fucking magic aliens plant and a couple people it’s puppeting, and and all the fascist, racist, sadistic, child-bullying, dictator-supporting, environment-destroying, slave-owning individuals who choose to engage in a system that oppressed and exploits others for their own personal gain aren’t that bad, but all the people who feel like it’s necessary to use violence to rise up and overthrow the oppressors that have been literally endangering their lives are very bad.
The tags mention that I’m a white person not attempting to speak on behalf of BIPOC people, but just pointing out that I see a white person being moronic and problematic.
Can you tell I’m mad the HiveWings frequently get more sympathy than the LeafWings? The LeafWings, the race who was almost wiped out, with half their remaining population resorting to violence out of desperation, get less sympathy than fascists. Like, I get they’re immediately racist to all HiveWings, but you can teach them to cut that out while still having consequences for the majority of the HiveWings that either directly participated in or allowed slavery because they benefit off of it, which the series doesn’t. Or wait until after they can stop fearing for their lives every day. And Sundew’s racism towards SilkWings are hardly a footnote because it’s all about the HiveWings, like they’re the victims here.
This is disgusting and I’ll forever be grateful I didn’t turn into one of these people. And yeah, Tui should fucking retire. ASAP. But she isn’t gonna do shit until the fans realise the shit she put in her books and call her out for it. What a lot of fans, particularly the younger ones, need to hear is just because someone is a nice person does not mean they are a good one; case in point, Tui is a foolish, wilfully ignorant, racist, aggressively victim-blaming abuse apologist who isn’t even that good of a writer when you look back on her books. Like, the whole “IceWings are tiger moms thing”.
I was reluctant to call this otherwise well-meaning woman a racist, but that video essay you recommended, revealing a legitimate clip of her confessing, humorously and without any sense of shame or regret, that she based most of the IceWings’ culture off of a fucking Asian stereotype, I felt horrified. That’s outright racist, whether she knows it’s a racist stereotype of Asian moms or not, aside from the she damn well SHOULD, she is a grown-ass woman with access to the internet. And the fact no one even showed any visible discomfort fustrared me. Too many people make excuses for this woman.
I’ve had enough, I’m pissed off, and it’s nice seeing I’m not the only one. I stg, without this blog, yourself, and the askers here, my mental health would be in shambles. I was a young child when I had to realise on my own how fucked this series was because I didn’t have any blog like this, I couldn’t find a soul in this fandom who called this out for years, and the wiki only made excuses for it like the fact they’ll disregard Tui’s word and make up their own ageing system to defend Glorybringer. Why is no one calling them out on this?
I am a split second away from making a Google Doc or Word Doc or something on the list of bullshit this woman has put in her series since no one else but a small handful of Tumblr users and a YouTuber feel like calling this out. Scholastic should be doing something for fuck sake! And this woman should NOT be writing childrens’ books, or making any kind of media, end of story.
👏👏👏👏👏👏

You know something I JUST realized in regards to idiots like that one "Hades promotes incest" Anon? Even ignoring the whole "No, these works do NOT in fact promoted bad things just because bad things are depicted in the work, you fucking moron" aspect, These people think everyone in the world is so stupid that if you see something in media that means you'll just do it no questions asked. ...Obviously that didn't apply to THEM when MLP told them "you should be nice to people" and SU told them "Murder is BAD actually", so WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT WORK ON A FUCKING *ADULT* CONSUMING *ADULT* CONTENT?
Well, *scoff* obviously, Taka, what we have here is a situation where a lot of people are so easily swayed by media that they think everyone else is so easily swayed and, therefore, want to make sure that every media that is the slightest bit challenging or disturbing or problematic is wiped clean and sanitized while they turn around and berate children's and young adult media that dare to say things like 'you can't just kill everyone who disagrees with you' and 'people respond more to kindness and neutrality than outright hostility' as 'promoting fascism' or 'teaching children that they need to just take abuse'.
When, in reality, any sane, functioning adult is able to curate their media experience.

Oh sweet jeebus.....I even went back to see if this was olddd....cause so fucking much of it here and in further reblogs, sounds abysmally stuck in season 5. Then I started to drag it this morning----and OFC, my track pad went nuts and I deleted everything....siiiighhhtt....
Anyyhooooo....
No....while there are admitted similarities, they exist moar to create a sort of backdrop, plus nearly every kid loves their parents and nobody’s life need be oh so tragic....
Additionally, this is A) completely inaccurate about the relationships (the entire point, as we’ve been shown, in the case of Hermione is that she was actually happy she didn’t choose St Five Nights and ultimately and repeatedly rejected pursuing anything there....).
And in the case of Falice, they pursued a redo and it ultimately failed, as well (and I do ship Falice, buuutt)----and both times they couldn’t make it work for different reasons....plus, because Jug and Slizzy are very different people, the failure of BH in no way mirrored their parents AND was far moar toxic...
Again, those “parallels” don’t even apply at this point (and, frankly, that’s just fucking dummmm) and OFC you thought they were “the entire point”, because you’re a fucking moron....plus the show isn’t over, so there’s plenty of time...
And no, that was NOT the point of the reboot...or what even remotely happened in it. Including why everybody returned to the town...
I threw one of my famous little tantrums on a public forum and, once again----people DARED to disagree with me!!!
Again, the show likes to play with FBs, like to have this as a backdrop cuz they enjoy it from an element of goofy....it’s something they’ve done almost for the entirety.....it also has almost no meaning, other than sometimes spurring a short term arc (e.g Abby and Pussy “cursing” everybody to feel guilty and babble)....
And if you weren’t a dimwitted noobie sock, you’d know that....
And while, again, it provides a nice backdrop for context, winking full circle, etc....it also doesn’t change that it’s not the primary focus of the show, nor is the show a boring soap oper, like so many of you wish it was....
@unshura I can’t believe people think they’re allowed to have an opinion that differ!!! And legit publicly voice them!!!
Anyhoooo....
I mean....the characters have obviously not and are obviously not (plus Plaiderdale’s a dark place, so is anybody ever really happy there/)
Slizzy is being a prostitute, pretending she’s too bad ass, leaning deep into her violent fascism and thinks she’s thwarted Daddy by moving into the Barfie Dreemhouse and becoming pure....
(it’s all very not good, but it’s also, sadly---A) who she really is and B) shit that was always there. And that no fucking way is having the BF as doormat you approve of gonna change dick...)
Douchie is doing fuckin’ none of that....other than failing to “save” the town, he’s fucking loving every second of this....and, if anything, he’s probably relieved he hasn’t saved the town, cuz WTF would he do with himself if he did? What are these “loss of hopes and dreams”, anyway? He’s a supposed war hero, has addressed his related trauma and is playing prom king again....And coaches football. Is it then he doesn’t get to:
Cuz he can still sing....and he’s only 25, Snorty....
Ummm....pssstt....dullard....Jug’s clean and sober (actually, so’s FP, from what we’re given to understand). He’s fully confronted that, is in a caring, positive relationship and once he’s dealt with/gotten back his hearing, he’ll be happy all over again...He enjoys teaching, he’ll write again and I think he doesn’t really mind lending a hand (and eating) at Pop’s. where he always chilled, anyway...
LOVE how you missed this was the entire point of Jug in season five, you fucking idiot....
That completely doesn’t apply to Vermin and was never the case for Hermione...seriously, do you even watch the show? She’s, for the moment, happy in a relationship with Ragey, too
Pussy stopped being isolated mannnyyyyy episodes ago. She was involved with somebody new and it ended on a positive note. She’s verryyyyy happy in her church, she seems pretty contented with her pagan shit, as well...none of this applied to Peneloho
Ragey stopped working for Hymen (and kinda dug it), he does enjoy working with Vermin and he enjoys the dealership. If anything, his renewed interest in stock brokerage shows this is his thing. And never applied to Marty at all.
Again, this would, honestly, be fairly inaccurate about the start of season five, IDK even WTF you’re talking about....
So we have your fanfic, your inability to grasp what you’re watching, what the characters are about or where any of this actually evolved.
Oh and that you think happiness can only be found in the coupling with the significant other you’ve decided is best, versus seeking fulfillment within one’s self...
And I truly thought y’all paid some semblance of attention/realiced (again) the show isn’t over yet....
A petition? Good lord....again, love when a noobie sock is suddenly everywhere....
And I thought the obvious arc was #hey#3 4BH 4Evah??? Oh wait, except it never was---and the concept of “maybe it’s time to leave the past there now that you’ve revisited it” is a good thing, hmmmm???
Umm....nooooo...
