No but fr having an indigenous family broken up for its own good by the state and one of them leave her homeland to go get a Real Education is not just counter to the original story's characterization, it's not just erasing the colonialism commentary for the sake of failed feminism presumably based on the girlboss objection to portraying women as caretakers and the classist objection to blue collar jobs, it is an act of colonialism.
It is in fact so ridiculously an act of colonialism that it should come off as such to anybody able to think about media critically for a few moments, but to anybody familiar with what the US did to many indigenous peoples via the faux benevolence of boarding schools, including to native hawaiians, it's fucking revolting.
Like, shoutout to removing Pleakley's gender exploration, to removing the cop villain in lieu of just having the mad scientist remain one, to removing some of Cobra Bubbles's nuance, to removing commentary on race and colonialism, etc etc, but mainly: this did a colonialism.
#lilo and stitch#in case anyone's got that tag filtered#man i do not like making any kind of personal allusions to things on tumblr#because sometimes i feel like tumblr demands personal information in order to validate opinions#in ways that are beyond just making sure affected peoples of oppression are heard on their topics#and i have no interest in being sorted into an easy box when that does not describe my whole experience#for the sake of being imbued with Speaker for the Monolith status#but like this fr made me sick#i am not native hawaiian but i am descended from another indigenous group subjected to the us's boarding schools#there are still living relatives who were affected by this#“but why did nani have to take care of her sister instead of going and getting a degree-- the certificate of true worth as a person”#go fuck yourself disney

Setting 2 coexisting facts straight:
- The Palestinian as a distinct Arab identity was largely formed as a response to the establishment of Medinat Yisrael in an effort to justify destroying it, cleansing the Jews and painting Palestinian Arabs as the only true indigenous people to the region. Both Jews and Arabs living here used to be called Palestinians at large, Palestina and Eretz Yisrael were interchangeable names.
- Palestinians as they are now known have been living in the Levant for literal millennia and cleansing or expelling them would be just as unjustified of doing so to the Jews or any other indigenous population of the region and they deserve self determination, label or not.
#i say this about every other post but this might be the one that actually kills me#still my asperger ass sense of justice won't just let me let go of how unfair it is#like the dome of the rock used to be made out of cheap copper#it was only painted gold and appointed a holier site in islam when jews started appearing here in larger numbers#like islamists (ISLAMISTS. NOT MUSLIMS.) are so cartoonishly manipulative#and hellbent on making sure jews don't even get to live in their tiny ass piece of land#as well as yk. every other indigenous population to the middle east they have and are eradicating.#i've said this before fdelopera has said it before but no matter how successfuly they twist history#ARAB MUSLIM IS NOT THE “NATURAL STATE” OF BROWN PEOPLE IN SOUTH ASIA#ISLAMIC COLONIALISM IS JUST AS BAD AS CHRISTIAN COLONIALISM EVEN IF IT'S THE UWU NOBLE SAVAGE RELIGION THAT'S OPPRESSED IN THE WEST#FUCK OFF#antisemitism#hila has spoken

no one on the english-speaking side of this site gives a fuck about japanese people except as paper dolls in their fantasies. y’all don’t notice or care when we’re targets of violence in america STILL and you don’t notice when our history on this continent is being erased because you can’t fucking recognize it in the first place! even as we relive it.
i’m tired of the gentrification. i’m tired of vandalism, arson, and censorship. i’m tired of arguing about the atrocity of the a-bombs and the incarceration and model minority shit. i’m tired of people using my heritage as an escape, both in imagination and in physical reality. i’m tired of people’s fake familiarity that leads them to correct my grandmother’s accent coming out of my mouth.
if you don’t show up for nikkei where you live, if you don’t even know how, you don’t belong anywhere near japanese culture.
#actually nikkei#shinto witch#oops. just fucking had it today#No camps no cages#no campamentos no juales#kodomo no tame ni#hey this discussion about ending birthright citizenship sounds familiar. wonder when that could have come up before?#how many times can i say ‘forced labor’ instead of ‘slavery?’ as many as it takes until abolition really happens i guess#as long as we can get away with calling the inmate firefighters in socal ‘volunteers’ eh?#as long as we keep calling the indigenous concentration camps ‘reservations’ and ‘detention centers’

I think they decided to quietly retcon the idea of vallaslin as slave markings in Veilguard. I don't think it gets mentioned even once. We never see any Dalish characters respond to that or grapple with what that might mean to them. This was revealed 10 years ago, the news should have spread by now! We also never see Solas depicted with vallaslin, despite the fact that Cole implies that he did have Mythal’s at one point. I feel like that would cast a very different light on their relationship if that was ever actually addressed...
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#datv#dragon age spoilers#datv spoilers#dragon age the veilgaurd spoilers#dragon age inquisition#solas dragon age#datv critical#i get that having it be this way in the first place was kinda fucked up from the perspective of the dalish being indigenous/jewish coded#but damn if you've already explicitly introduced it to the story as a concept actually grapple with that please

re whitewashing in tlt spaces. i feel like id be way more chill with seeing lighter toned harrow, bc at the end of the day she IS lightskinned you can just look at the cover of nona and that whole "skin the color egg carton" this is like. fanciful and kind of strange if your mind goes to the white or grey ones but like
absolutely within the range of human skin tones. its tan but its not like a dark chocolate brown. gives you enough to work with. but on top of just making harrow incredibly pale a lot of the time she is just. drawn like a white girl. just zero indication that she isnt entirely pakeha let alone maori if you didnt already have that info in your back pocket.
and so much shit contributes to this its tazs descriptions in the book just focusing on how pointy and scrawny she is, its fanartists not really getting the nuances of how to draw poc outside of "white person" and "black person", its the fact that irl maori obviously have a vast array of different ways they can look and some of them can be white passing and that doesnt make them less maori, its that fact coming into conflict where in a book if you have a main character you say is maori but is lightskinned, white passing and has zero connection to maori culture, language, and wasnt even born on earth and its been 10000 years since that particular ethnic group has even existed. what does that mean. how would the text change if she was just pakeha
#im zeroing in on harrow bc like#gideon has a connection to her father who like. was straight up born in new zealand#out the gate he gave her a maori name when he claimed her as his daughter its like relevant to whats going on#re john being an indigenous character who like. did an extinction event#he is directly responsible to the eradication of his own culture everyone in the empire speaks english!#if they werent then gideons name would have already been kiriona no need to translate!#its kind of horrifying in an interesting way that the only shit he thought was worth preserving And sharing with everyone was like#neoclassicism. but with more bones and biblical allegories#its all just greece and rome all the way down the only thing his daughter gets is a name its so. GAH. FROTHING AT THE MOUTH#and then the camera pans to harrow and its like. well this affects her too right. this affects everyone if shes also maori then shes also#been denied her heritage her language her people her customs they jsut dont fucking exist#and then on top of that shes canonically light skinned and there can be#nebulous arguments made for her being white passing or racially ambigiuos. the artist for the covers takes liberties i genuinely dont think#harrow looks like how he drew nona. that is a different girl. even if we get rid of the smile#i dont think this is like a condemnation of the text or the author or even the fans really#but its like. god imagine if this angle about being maori as an active identity was like. in the books. at all#its like how the books have gay poeple but the queer angle is all necrocav shit gideon being a lesbian isnt like. revolutionary#thats not why her attachment to harrow is like. interesting or nuanced.

Seeing a lot of truly vile takes on indigeneity from non-indigenous people being antisemitic and I personally think I should be able to attack all of them with my teeth.
#''indigeneity expires—'' shut up#''real indigenous people don't treat the land like this—'' shut up#''if they were REALLY indigenous they wouldn't be getting skin cancer—'' SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.#hush and shush#ndn tag#antisemitism

maybe the lilo and stitch ending is actually just a marketing gimmick. in which case it worked bc my cousin and i are already looking up cam rips to watch since we cannot believe they would actually have nani give lilo up to go to college
#he heard that she gives her up to a foster family and i said there is no fucking way they cant have been that stupid#giving her up is already crazy but no way theyd TOUCH a subject as loaded as indigenous children getting sent through the foster system.#however even without that just the idea of her leaving lilo in general is fucking insane like i cannot. believe you would write that.#i forgot the indigenous family staying together wasnt girlboss enough nani cant have a family AND go to college.#its way more feminister for her to be split up from her family in defiance of the entire fucking theme of the story. for no reason#avpost#its literally like if the batb remake had belle abandon everyone in the castle to die so she could start a small business. beast too ugly .

Now that Biden has proven that he was willing to listen to yall and step down....are you going to vote for Kamala Harris or are we just going to slide further and further into fascism because you personally are to uncaring to actually try to help the thousands of POC and trans people who will die if the Republicans take office?
#us politics#joe biden#kamala harris#id like to not die#as a trans/Bi indigenous person who was born afab I am in the group most likely to get killed by those fucks and I'm terrified#protect my people#protect your people#or is your need for moral superiority so important to you that youll let thousands of nameless people die so you don't get cancelled

#like genuinely I get so enraged when I see it bc it’s so fucking obvious#and I have to specify bwwm bc y’all are so sinister when it comes to those#gonna tag a few ships feel free if anyone sees more#a few of these aren’t even any ships I personally know about but I’ve seen how fandom treats them#and their actors (if applicable) by extension#percabeth#westallen#richonne#jacaela#jacaela is for my twitter homie bc hotd fandom talks crazy about bethany#katara isn’t black and I’m not qualified to speak on indigenous rep presented in atla but#extremely frustrating seeing how the brown girl on the show was vilified and misinterpreted to prop up her brother#I’m not even particularly passionate by a lot of these ships outside of like three but Jesus Christ I’ve seen the ugly#misogynoir#long post

#jewish.txt#jumblr#bc y'all know i had to do it to em & its pride. & jews belong at pride.#anyone mentioning i/p talking about i.srael or p.alestine or anything related to it will get blocked immediately—do NOT fucking play w/ me.#this has NOTHING to do w/ i/p or what's going in in the levant. please keep it that way.#this is literally just a post to show solidarity with queer jews bc we've been treated like shit by the queer community.#we literally wouldn't have had the pride parade if it wasn't for harvey milk & brenda howard who made the concept behind the pride flag & +#the mother of pride respectively as an antiwar feminist queer kinky polyamorous bisexual jewish sex worker.#we wouldn't have pride without black native/indigenous latine & other communities of color & jewish communities. treat us with respect.#we shouldn't have to choose between our jewry & pride.

Anyone who ever tries to justify voting conservative because of Gaza to me ever again is going to get a goddamn earful about the active and ongoing genocide here in fucking Canada
That the conservatives especially are trying to pretend never happened and certainly never needs to be mentioned or taught
I have friends who were involved in the 60s scoop court cases. It wasn’t “a long time ago”, it happened and happens to people who are still alive and kicking today
It’s called the “60s” for the alliteration but it covered the mass stealing of Indigenous children from 1951 to 1991
The fucking NINETIES
Because yes, we should all support the Palestinians and do all we can to make it stop
But we’ve got genocide at home
And that has to matter too
#politics#canadian politics#genocide#mmiwg2s#fucking start this shit with me i will show you the violence the english are capable of#someone once told me they assumed i was indigenous because i would not shut up about this#but no i’m whiter than a wonderbread mayo sandwich it just pisses me right the fuck off when people Steal Children#breaking news it is in fact not only possible it is highly encouraged to get righteously pissed off about injustices that don’t target you#and i have so little fucking patience for it anymore

kinda realizing I don't know jack shit about Canadian queer history????? I've only ever learned about it from an American lens and I don't think I could name a single Canadian queer activist. guess I've got my Pride Month Queer Enrichment Activities™ decided then lol
#idk so much of Queer History™ is really *American* queer history that gets learned and taught globally#which is good to a degree!! because the hard work American queer activist fought to achieve has had positive impacts globally#but i want to know the history of MY country. and the brave people who fought and organized and loved and died in MY home#actually like. i need to learn a lot more about canadian civil rights history in general#i could tell you a lot about harvey milk and gilbert baker and the stonewall riots#or Judy Heurmann or MLK jr. etc etc#but beyond like??? Viola Desmond's demonstration for black canadian civil rights???? i don't have a fucking clue#oh or the famous 5 🥰🥰🥰 we love women's suffrage at the expense of WOC and promotion of indigenous eugenics 🥰🥰🥰#most of that ignorance is on me. just like. idk why we never talked about that in school??#(i know exactly why and it starts with “A” and ends with “lberta is terminally right wing and bigoted to it's foundational levels”)#anyways that's my ramble lol. if any canadian sees this and has any suggestions please lmk!! especially from indigenous and POC perspectives#elkk.txt

I’m very accepting of almost every religion, except Mormonism, I could never fucking accept Mormonism. Like unironically, if I was friends with somebody and then they turned out to be Mormon, there’s like a 50-50 possibility that I would stop being friends with them. I can’t even say it’s less about the religion itself, because I’ve actually peaked my nose into the Book of Mormon, and holy fuck guys. Then on top of that all the weird fucking shit that the LDS church has done 
I’m trying to say is that my true prejudices are against other white people and Mormons
This does not mean that I’m mean to Mormons though, this is counter productive to the agenda
#these people would look you in the eyes#with all of the seriousness in the world#and tell you that indigenous Americans are Israelite#Who will turn white once they reach heaven?#That a person who is essentially Jesus to them#stuck his head in a hat and read off of tablets#and I’m supposed to take your religion seriously#like don’t get me wrong that Jehovah’s Witnesses are not better#but fuck Mormons are more annoying#like I’m not gonna go be mean to these people don’t go be mean to these people#they’re in a cult and that only reinforces the cults ideas#but with that being said every fucking time I see Mormons involved in something#it is the most insane shit possible#with a Piccadilly macaroni and cheese size scoop of conservatism#fucking delusional ass religion#was that being said brothers in Christ the Catholic Church will accept you#get baptized bitches#I say this as an ex-Catholic
