#he doesn’t care about BIPOC

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

god the world must be so beautiful from behind rose colored glasses so thick you can excuse genocide abroad, violence and inhumane treatment of immigrants at home, a somehow even WORSE policy for COVID that lead to thousands more deaths, did NOTHING about the overturning of Roe v. Wade even though it happened TWO YEARS AGO already, and an increase in police violence and brutality towards black people.

Aw, but guys, guys look peepaw forgave the student loan debt of like ten people, so all that’s fine. Who cares how many black and brown people died under him, he forgave a debt here and there so it’s fine.

I mean, who cares that he’s so far into senility he needs visual aids to study so he knows how to leave a podium? Who cares if he barely has any awareness that he’s the president right now? I mean sure he called Lewinsky “President putin” and didn’t notice trump doing the fast part of rap god in that debate to get as many lies out as possible, guys it’s ok! Biden expanded NATO! Aren’t you happy? Don’t you feel safe? Come on, we can trust the weird hair sniffing pervert who can only hold on a coherent conversation about golf at this point, but hey! He’s not trump so no matter how many policies he shares with trump and how severely they are implemented, his name is Biden so it’s ok!

Who wouldn’t trust Biden? I mean, sure he said in 2020 he would be a single-term President and pass the torch to another democrat for the next term and all, but hey!

Who cares if he lies through his teeth, he’s just a politician he can’t help that!

Me, too! And you can't convince me otherwise.

I just kinda wanna put this out into the internet ether, because I keep hearing about blue friendship braclets on TikTok

Your want to be perceived as a good person, an ally or that you are a safe person isn’t as important as the need people have to be carful and wary of the people they talk to now for the four years. Because it’s been said before and I’ll repeat it here, they’re nothing more dangerous than a white woman’s tears, those have gotten people killed. So I need all the white ladies to understand that right now your need to be perceived as a good person is so far back in the list things to worry about.

There are people who have to be wary about who they talk to and associate with because apparently work in denaturalizing citizenship has already started, a historical black college has been burned down, I can only imagine worse is on the way in these next four years

If you really are a good person you don’t need to show it, when POC talk about white people or white women they can’t trust, you should know that isn’t you, and not take offence to, like how when women talk about all men, the men who are actually good people know they are who women aren’t talking about.

Basically, no one cares about you feeling like you need to have a physical representation or being a good person, and imo I feel like that just makes it easier for a MAGA lady to trick people if they were to actually trust that blue bracelet.

tldr - STOP MAKING IT ABOUT YOU AND JUST BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING AND SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING WITHOUT NEEDING A BRACELET OR ACCOLADES TO DO IT

Just in case Trump wins:

right after Trump was elected in 2016, suicidality skyrocketed. If you’re considering suicide in the wake of the election this year, at least wait until after it’s absolutely certain that he’s won - after every vote has been counted, every state certified, and maybe even after he’s been sworn in (IF he wins), just to make sure he doesn’t go to prison instead. Watch the results come in live here, but don’t obsess or let them sway your vote. (To be clear, I don’t want a single person to commit suicide over the election results, no matter what. But I know from experience that “don’t do it” is thoroughly unhelpful, so instead I’m saying at least wait.)

if you’re considering suicide because you fear worsening material conditions, you might think a hotline can’t help with that. and it’s true that they can’t change legislation or promise you’ll be safe. but it’s worth double checking whether what you’re actually hurting from is in fact unfixable. right now, just getting through the emotions can help you regain a more objective view of the situation, and then you can work on surviving it. plus, when something bad happens, we tend to vastly overestimate how bad it will seem in the future, no matter how bad it actually is.

In my experience, it might take a few tries before you find a hotline that picks up, either because they’re so busy, or they’re closed at that time, or they simply don’t serve your location or demographic, so under the thingy I’ve listed more than just the same handful that tend to show up on other websites. Even if you’re not actively suicidal, you can talk to them about your hard feelings, ask for material resources, or just vent to a compassionate listener.

CW: Racism and slavery.

Alright, let’s open up this can of worms.

Let’s talk about race and how it pertains to Viv’s shows.

No, I don’t think Viv and Adam are inherently racist, they just don’t know how to write for a BIPOC audience.

Viv’s shows (Like most western shows) are written with a white audience in mind. Because let’s face it, white folks don’t like to talk about race. That’s why a lot of shows that do tackle the issue of race and racism do it in a way that’s very surface level, as they don’t want to make white folks uncomfortable.

Even shows that are written by BIPOC writers have to dumb everything down when it comes to race because that’s sadly one of the only ways to get white folks to listen.

For example the Brooklyn Nine Nine episode Moo Moo (Which was written by a black writer) does tackle the issue of racial profiling, but it does so in that after school special way. Where it’s so basic and surface level that it almost feels insulting? And the fact that the episode completely ignores all the systemic racism that’s prevalent in the NYPD somehow makes it even worse.

Seriously, the episode ends with Terry’s application for a liaison job getting denied because he filed a complaint against a racist cop. And Holt’s all like “At least you did the right thing.”

Now, I haven’t really talked about any of the Hazbin/Helluva lore in great detail because it’s a hot gigantic mess of titanian proportions. And trying to make any sense of it from a narrative perspective is headache inducing, but for the sake of this analysis I decided to make an exception.

It’s pretty obvious that the Imps are supposed to represent the lower class, the majority of Imps we see in the series are stuck with low level jobs, involved in shady activities or are willing to kill to survive.

A good writer would have used the concept to highlight the many injustices that are caused by systems that are hell bent on keeping systemic racism alive to ensure that white elites stay in power.

But Viv and Adam don’t give a shit about that, as they know that tackling those sorts of issues is bound to upset their white audience. So they just don’t bother.

The lore feels like set dressing, i.e something that’s only there to make the audience think that there is much more to Viv’s shows than meets the eye, but there really isn’t.

Helluva Boss’ racist class system is introduced, but it isn’t really all that fleshed out. Because Viv doesn’t really care about exploring themes that mirror real world issues, all she cares about is watching her characters fornicate or make out with each other.

Not saying that every adult show has to have a deeper meaning or challenge people’s worldviews, but having a toxic relationship between a slave and his slave master in a dumb demon cartoon is pretty fucked up, not going to lie.

suicide cw

look i have been in this area before mentally. it sucks and i wouldn’t wish this on anyone. but, and this is going to sound callous, but i don’t feel any sympathy for james somerton. even if i hope he’s like. not dead. But thats all the amount of goodwill im willing to give him. The more i think about this really, the more angry i am. 

ngl this entire situation is another example of how white people weaponize their mental illness to avoid consequences. Im seeing it in real time.

this man has a continuous habit of using self-harm as a get-out-of-jail-for-free card. in both of his apologies, he has worded his supposed attempts in ways that were clearly meant to guilt people who displayed his plagiarism and overall horrendous history of racism and misogyny. i say supposed because, while i’m not saying those are lies and this would he such a fucked up thing to lie about that i don’t want to think he has, unfortunately, it’s been proven again and again that his word can’t be trusted, as he’s known to lie to try get out of consequences. Hes a proven liar. him lying about this is actually the best case scenario, because no one should go through this entire situation, wouldnt wish this on anyone, but you can only do this so often before people stop sympathizing with you. is this callous? Yeah, but like. I’m actually fucking angry he cant straight up take no as an answer. that this is how he reacts realizing he cant be one of the Cool Kidz™️ on youtube anymore. he acts like he DESERVES a career, like its not a privilege hes lost due to his own actions.

He lied about apologizing and forgiving people, he lied about giving the money to hbomberguy to give to ppl he ripped off (yknow, instead of doing it himself), he lied about the jessie gender situation and rewrote the narrative to make it so he isnt the bad guy, and hes the victim all along actually!

you can’t tell me that supposed last message of his isn’t meant to be a 13 reasons why esq attempt to deflect the blame “look i’m going to kill myself and it’s all YOUR PEOPLES FAULT for not letting me achieve my DREAM of being filmmaker IN PEACE!!! I just wanted Nick’s (the guy who I have thrown under the bus again and again) portfolio up!! Im just being a good friend dont you all FEEL BAD” he refuses to take ANY ACCOUNTABILITY of any of his actions and he IS STILL trying to shove the blame over to other people again.

it’s also pretty ironic people are like “uhhh well hbomber’s fans harassed him!!!” like hbomber outright told people NOT to HARASS JAMES!!! ALSO acting as if james doesn’t have a very real documented history of STRAIGHT UP sending his fans to harass and threaten smaller creators, more notably women, trans, and bipoc creators. especially after he’s stolen typically very personal anecdotes so he could profit from them. so why can he do it but the second people are like “hey this guys an actual piece of shit.” and he can’t handle it suddenly people are trying to white knight his shit? like no he doesn’t get that. he doesn’t get that at all just because he couldn’t handle the consequences of his actions. 

what? were supposed to stay quiet about a man profiting off of other minorities because he wanted to be the spokesman for all gay people? people tried to solve this on a smaller, more private scales for YEARS and he kept doing it. it was clear that the giant public video was the ONLY way to get people to notice. HE WOULDVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH STEALING 87 FUCKING THOUSANDS WORTH OF DOLLARS. HE CANT HANDLE THE FACT HE CANT GET AWAY WITH IT. 

am i supposed to feel bad for the guy who basically threatened a trans woman with the police? i don’t care what anyone says, it’s so fucking obvious that he threatened jessie by implying he was getting the police involved in their conflict. what am i supposed to act like that didn’t happen? are we supposed to pretend like he didn’t glorify nazi’s and outright said that gay people made up a good chunk of the nazis? That he didnt say america joined ww2 bc they were jealous of the NAZIS. WHAT WOULD POSSESS YOU TO FUCKING SAY THAT. but then? He gives women (not even women most of the time, he misgenders nonbinary ppl constantly) shit for writing mlm. are we supposed to act like he doesn’t straight-up sees himself superior and better than people of color and steals their works to put himself on a pedestal? Are we supposed to act like he didnt spit on our elders by saying “only the boring gays survived aids” like man! Fuck you! He BLANTANTLY MAKES UP HISTORY TO PUT HIMSELF ON A PEDESTAL!! HE ACTIVELY TRIED TO REWRITE LGBT HISTORY TO SUIT HIS FUCKED UP NARRATIVES!

yes this sucks ! no one deserves this but no one should be making him a martyr. Thats what he fucking WANTS! He wants to be immortalized as a victim!! (again, supposedly, it was reported hes alive but its not confirmed).

The shit he got isnt near the amount of fucking callous behavior hes done again and again. Again, to drill this point, EVEN IF HE DIDNT CALL THE POLICE HE THREATENED A TRANS WOMAN INTO THINKING HE DID!!! The fact he tried to use a head injury to justify years of the outright ghoulish shit fucking astounds me. Why the fuck did anyone in his life thought it was a good idea to let him TRY to come back. in the end, he had options. he didn’t need to try to make a comeback. HE DIDNT NEED TO FUCKING LIE OR IGNORE THE SHIT HE WAS CALLED OUT ON the reality is, he wanted to come back thinking he could shove it under the rug, was told that no dude, you’re not allowed to be a youtuber anymore. you’re done. you need to move on and went full nuclear. it’s not on anyone’s hands but his own. HES BEEN DOING THIS TO HIMSELF!! But nah man we cant call his shit out bc hell may or may not kill himself. Fuck the other minorities who have the same issues but worse and sometimes BECAUSE of him. This is going to SUCKKKK so bad when other ppl, specifically white gays, are going to weaponize this shit to get away with their stuff.

why do you hate Joshua Graham or Honest Hearts so much?

This DLC and character represents a bigger issue with fandom spaces I have but particularly fallout fandom in general.

Fallout tends to tackle a lot of topics controversial and not. The first two games it’s heavy cause they are the most satirical and direct with how anti-war, nationalism and etc… they are. 3 loses this as it’s very clear once you play or learn about all the games that Todd and a bunch of guys at Bethesda just liked the 50s post apocalyptic aesthetic and refuse to actually critique the ideals of the time period like the earlier titles.

New Vegas is the game that really gets back into it a degree it almost seems like it’s taking too much on. There are things done exceedingly well while other things are done horribly wrong . I’ve made posts about it before and plan to make a big series of posts (it’s a lot of writing) but my biggest gripe is with Honest Hearts and all the gross and white savior esque depictions it has of indigenous peoples. The entirety if FNV does not do the injustices faced by indigenous people correctly on any count. My two biggest complaints are with the Khans and the tribes in Zion but I’ll talk about the former on a different post.

Both characters of Daniel and Joshua are the most accurate depiction of white saviors I’ve seen and I hate how the DLC tries to justify and defend them. The DLC treats Joshua like this man who has repented for his past actions when he is just retracing his steps after his cruelty bit him in the ass. He was one of the worst parts of the Legion and it is all but explicitly stated that if you don’t force him to be non-violent he will turn the tribes of Zion into the legion 2.0. The Dead Horses and the Sorrows are horribly infantilized by both Daniel and Joshua who both use them for self serving purposes guised by religious duty. The White Legs are the horrible stereotype of violent and savage indigenous and I personally think a lot of their interlinking with Ulysses, his hair and Ulysses character in general are distasteful and very telling of how BIPOC or POC where involved.

But outside of the game it’s the weird obsession people have with these characters ideologies and trying to make them seem more interesting/philosophical than they are. Tumblr is an echo chamber and many fans of Fallout are not the people on this site. Many people are not educated in the issues these characters convey and how poorly they do or used these characters as a poor introduction for their takes. Contrary to what a lot of people believe in, fallout has a prediomeny white cis male fanbase. More importantly a large portion of the fanbase is white.

You can joke how FNV made you trans or see the numbers on post/fics or diverse headcanons but these are kiddy numbers compared to the millions that consume the franchise and aren’t in those more aware spaces or don’t engage in the spaces the same way someone like me does/has to. Their views shape a lot more than people realize and it’s exhausting to be in a space where people don’t correct the more subtle yet toxic aspects of it but also adopt them into some weird quirky view point on the characters or issues. Some people don’t realize and some people don’t care.

My main issue is just the idolizing of these sort of thing in this fandom space and people try to acts like a game like fallout whose tagline is “War never changes” and has never had a game not revolve around political or militaristic factions issues isn’t that deep or doesn’t relate to real issues. I think it’s mainly caused by how over powered you can become and how you can strong arm your way past these learning moments as majority of people who play this game do play it as a power fantasy where they can do so as they please (which of course, go ahead it’s fun) but never take in parallels or lessons in the story as if it was just another first person shooter.

Also like another personal gripe is Cazadores spawn like hell whenever I’m there and I have not found a mod that works to mod them out so I have to play Indigenous Racism the DLC while getting jumped by giant wasps WHILE helping Mormons. Like I cannot catch a break.

𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗖𝗦

— simon “ghost” riley x black! fem! reader.

SYNOPSIS — small headcanons of what it’s like when ghost comes home to you after your very long months away from one another. face time calls aren’t getting anything done, so now you have a hulking sex crazed soldier wanting you.

WARNINGS — interracial relationship! the reader has bipoc features! (maybe) ooc ghost, a bit of ghostsoap (platonic), hints of sex toward the end. kinda crackfic ig??

WORD COUNT — 1.173k

—★. . . SIMON loves him some you. that’s all there is to it. after a long while of being on base and completing missions for around six to eight months, he is more than ready to come to you. as soon as he walks through the door, you would give him time to set his things down.

— there is no telling what he’s seen while being gone so you do give him some space until he’s comfortable enough to bring you into a small hug with his forehead pressed against yours.

— he’d keep his mask on for a bit and then take it off once he feel he’s settled. your way of comforting him is by cooking him a big meal. he’s a sucker for your cooking but you’ll never hear him say it. he’ll unknowingly show it sometimes though. cooking was also your love language, and he did have a hard time with his feelings so you like to express yours through cooking instead of overwhelming him with questions.

— simon would give you small signals instead of telling you that he wants you to be closer to him. like he may stare at you and wait until you ask or just gently nudge his leg or head against yours. he has a habit of tapping his finger against your thigh or caressing your knee.

— he doesn’t hate when you call him your soft pretty boy. may make him a bit uncomfortable because he’s never really been called pretty before, but he doesn’t say anything really. whenever you get the chance you will always tell him that he’s handsome or as you’d say sometimes, “you’re so damn fine simon.”

— you would do so while stroking his face with your thumb, “you’re really such a soft beautiful man”, to which he’d grunt out. “m’ not soft. i’m a fucking killer.”, simon would try to take on his usual lieutenant voice but with the way you stare at him it’s kinda hard to do so.

— it’s been military food and mre’s the entire times he’s been gone and he hated it to his core. he started to loathe only using salt and pepper to give his food a bit of seasoning. there were some days where he didn’t eat at all and lived off water but he knew if you figured out you would probably kick his ass.

— nonetheless you cook your man a hearty dinner that could probably feed then entire 141st task force. simon is a big man so he would probably go back for seconds or thirds while he talks about the scottish soldier he “hates”.

— “you said he’s scottish right baby?” — “mm.”, simon would talk about soap a lot and you started to see that he may have taken a liking to the scottish man. what was even funnier about the whole interaction is when he attempted the accent.

— “ he’s a good man. likes my army humor.”, he mutters while side eyeing you. you didn’t think they were funny. like at all. you always told him he wasn’t good at telling jokes and you meant it. but he didn’t care of course, he’d tell them to tease you and for his own pleasure.

— not that it matters but, he would let you clean his finger nails. simon wasn’t a dirty man (non sexual wise) but there were days where he wasn’t able to shower at all. especially when it came to missions. he was use to living with his own stink for a long period of time. and you hated it. but you know it came with the job.

— anyways, when he’s home from base he would give you his hands and let you clean the dirt from his nails. it was a pet peeve of yours, and you hated dirty nails. it took a while for him to trust you but he was kind of use to things like this when it came to you.

— you even washed his gloves and masks before. at first he was reluctant, with his mindset he only thought, “why in fucking hell do my nails need to be cleaned? i carry a gun for god sakes”, but you instantly hit him back with, “you’re not sticking them dirty ass fingers in my pussy simon.”, and he goes quiet immediately.

— imagine soap accidentally peeping ghosts hands one day, when he’s without his gloves. he was slightly intrigued and wanted to know why his l.t kept his nails so good looking. if only he knew though.

— likes it when you kiss his scars and run your fingers through his hair especially when your nails are done, reassure him too. you know he doesn’t do much talking unless necessary but your gestures and actions of comfort are enough to calm him. he likes to take in your scent when you’re both close.

— showering together would be the best part of this all. this is usually where the sex starts to roll in. he hasn’t been able to touch you in months. now that you were here in front of him all naked and wet with his 6’4 figure towering over you — he was gonna lay it all on you here and now. aaand maybe in the bedroom.

— he’d try to be slick about it first. wrapping his arms around you slow and kissing your neck while you let the water cover your bodies. and you’d press right against him with a grin because you knew exactly how this man moved.

— “can’t keep your hands to yourself for long hm?” — “damn right sweetheart.”, and you would never turn him down because you’d been missing him too. simon wasn’t one for making love most of the time. I feel like he’d only do it if he was put in a life or death situation on a mission, but ghost isn’t one to get scared about those things.

— anyways simon would start off slow and sensual at first, dick pressed firmly against your backside as his hands make purchase on your throat and his lips attaching themselves to whatever part of your skin they could. his hard body molded right against yours.

— his first night back would be filled with him making you cum more than one time, loves giving head more than receiving. he’ll lap at your puffy pussy until his mouth and jaw are covered in your release. begging wouldn’t stop this man at all, when he’s hungry he’s gonna eat.

— simon would breed your pussy to the point where your folds would be coated in both of your juices and a white ring would form around his cock every time he pushed into you. it would be kinda crazy to ask if he was trying to give you a baby with the way he was fucking you.

— he would take you nice and deep in missionary first, thick brown legs on his broad shoulders while his hips moved at a punishing pace, your pretty tits bouncing with every thrust he delivered. you would be pretty loud, simon would fuck all the shit he’s built up right into your creamy cunt until you’re shaking and reduced to nothing but mumbling whimpers.

— doggy style would be his favorite. he feels like he can take you deeper from that position, and you would agree. months away from you and it was like welcoming home a dog in heat. you would both agree that sex is better when he’s been away for a long time. sex is always good with simon regardless of that fact though.

— back arched to perfection and ass high in the air just for him, nails digging into the pillow as he took you from behind like an animal. his firm hands on your waist as his pelvis collided with your ass—and the recoil is what would turn him on the most. simon is an ass man, no doubt.

— “fuck. thats right, take this cock.” - “good girl.” , simon will let out subtle praises, groans, and the deepest whimpers in your ears. very hot coming from him. and you love it. you will fully indulge in his kinks because you loved pleasuring him more.

— you also love hearing simon talk you through sex. brought you to an orgasm faster than you could think, maybe it was his heavy accented voice or the way he had that he would speak really low and deep to you while knocking the mario coins out of your pussy.

— when he asks “who’s pussy is this?” or “you’re all fucked out love”, it really takes a toll on you. anything this man does with buried inside your sex can make you cum. he had that affect on you and he knew it.

@ 399 + that one post this blog responded to recently

When people say “just let people enjoy things!!!”

Look I’m sick of this cause I feel like it’s a complete and possibly deliberate misunderstanding of what the rest of the fandom keeps trying to criticize about the canyon.

I could not care less that people like izzy. If he’s your fave, go off. If you want to make posts jokingly calling him babygirl, who cares (i’m pretty sure that’s how the whole canyon thing started). If you don’t care about gentlebeard, that’s your right. Nobody, or at least most people criticizing the canyon are doing it because “they’re doing fandom wrong”

As the other anon pointed out, the canyon doesn’t just have different interpretations. They have constructed entire conspiracy theories about izzy, the cast, and the story. Some of them were completely convinced steddyhands would somehow be endgame. They’ve harassed trans/bipoc people in the wider fandom (there is actual proof for this). I believe there was a time after the season two finale when Vico went to an ofmd drag show and there was a part where DJ’s face was shown with Xs on his eyes.

Even if you ignore all the racist fic and meta, the canyon is just an extremely toxic group of individuals who can’t handle criticism.

I was thinking about how you said that Jake was probably the one who locked Spider’s hair and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I’m no expert on…I don’t know what the appropriate term is, styles for coily hair? But if you look at Jake’s locks and Spider’s side by side, I feel like Jake’s look better maintained. Spider’s look much chunkier and messier, more scraggly. His hair is also very dull and non-reflective, so it doesn’t look very clean.

Obviously I’m in no way saying that people who have locs don’t wash or take care of their hair! This is an observation on Spider’s hair specifically, as it relates to him most likely being neglected by the Sully parents. I’ve seen a lot of hairdressers who say that heavily matted hair is one of the biggest signs of neglect. Again, matted hair and locs aren’t the same, but that was what came to mind when you said he probably locked Spider’s hair so it would be less maintenance.

If I’ve been insensitive or disrespectful in any way, please let me know as that wasn’t my intention!

I am also no expert on hair, especially protective and black hairstyles, so heed that warning, and feel free to call me out if I make a mistake/say something offensive.

~~~

I think this hits the nail on the head. I think that for jake, 'locking' (ill get back to the use of quotations in a second) spiders hair was 'easiest' because there was 'no up keep' unlike braids or just leaving it down and natural that would have to be somewhat frequently/frequently cleaned and/or restyled over time.

This is blatantly false, locs have their own maintenance needs, and they have a reasonable amount of regular upkeep to keep them looking, feeling, and physically healthy/clean.

But in jakes mind, a white man who was thrown into a world that uses protective hairstyles, like braids, quite frequently (I don't know much about na'vi hair or why it is styled as such, or if that information even exists, so I have to run a bit off of what I see), if he 'locked' (here comes the explanation of the quotations) spiders hair, it would basically be a one and done thing; when in reality, Spider didn't have hair that could lock, his hair was curly, but not in a way that would allow or even demand protective styles. So he basically just matted (even if his hairs are mats, they are meant resemble locs, and it feels insensitive/can come off as horribly disrespectful to call them that, so I'm going to continue using 'locks' within this post) the poor thing's hair, cause that's what happens when you attempt to lock white hair, and most likely did nothing after. Spider was also super young when his hair was locked like that and I have full confidence it's never actually been cleaned properly since.

While I think jake had vaguely good while also naively neglectful intentions, Spider was horribly neglected, and it most likely started with hair.

I think this is also just partially a consequence of James Cameron's habit of culturally appropriating bipoc cultures, in this case, black culture.

But at the same time, I do have to agree that there is an intentional little detail between Jake's and Spider's hair; Jake's looks like they are properly cared for, while spiders look like a trainwreck (dirty, outgrown, ill-managed, all of the possible things). In fact, all of the other kids' hair looks equally well-managed. This has a lot to do with the fact that their hair is seemingly styled in the proper way for their hair type, but also because they are being cared for, their parents are putting time and effort into their hair, at least until they're old enough to do it themselves. It's also clear that hair can be managed quite easily while left down/natural cause Neytiri used to wear her quite long hair down, Kiri has her hair down, and most of the Metkayina people wear at least some of their hair down. to put it simply, Spider's hair didn't have to be 'locked'; it could have been managed just like so many others, and even if, for some reason, it had to be 'locked' (even when there are so many other styles for him to have been given that would have been proper for his hair type) they didn't have to be left in such a state.

Overall, I think Spider's hair shows two things; the neglect he went through at the hands of his adoptive family, and James Cameron's need to appropriate other's cultures.

~~~

Again, I want to clarify, I am not super educated on the topic, I only know the basics, and I may have slipped up. If any black or indigenous people want to comment or add to the discussion, I would greatly appreciate it, but no pressure.

Hey. Idk if this is me growing up or just being disillusioned with inter celebs etc. Im a 23 yr old trans man so I grew up and was inspired by chella on the YouTube community. But now I just…don’t like chella man anymore. I feel like…he became an industry plant? Over the pandemic asking fans for money to send to him directly to help others and not showing where the money was going exactly incident as well as just becoming older I noticed he seemed to almost want to become the next Keith haring or basquiat? He almost…now seems very fake? He takes deals with brands to be representation but doesn’t do much to call out certain brands for their faults etc.

Idk anymore

I give Chella credit in that he was one of the few transmen that I looked up while I was young, especially with him being BIPOC. Showing him to my family helped them understand me. But that's where the inspiration kinda stops, because it was painful to be surrounded by years-in-transition trans men online when I was absolutely nowhere I wanted to be. That was a me problem tho. But I also didn't know much about his whole donation incident.

Ig heres what I have to say. It's not great to view other people as your justification of your morals. We don't know how people have had to live or how they live now, we don't know what decisions they have to make, and we dont know what kind of fears or goals they have. Chella is allowed to do whatever he wants with his art or his modelling career, just like how I genuinely believe anyone else in the world is capable of making the right decisions for themselves (even if we dont like those decisions!). Im not really concerned with figuring out if hes an industry plant or a "class traitor" (lol) or even if he's "fake". To be honest, I'm all for BIPOC folks getting their $. Does that mean I enjoy seeing wealthy BIPOC folk perpetuate classism and racism? No. Just cuz someone is succeeding for themselves doesn't mean people cant critique them. I guess what Im saying is I see waaay too many people online take the things they enjoy and the people they follow as projections of their morals: "no! stop [Insert celebrity name] you're being problematic and its makes us fans look bad!" Like....Okay lmfao. People are grown adults and are going to make decisions for themselves. Just because you might enjoy a celebrity does not mean your morals are based on how good of a person they are.

and youre allowed to not like the same things anymore just like how people are allowed to change, for better or for worse. I think within online communities there is way too much pressure on "looking" like a good person versus actually being one...because sometimes BEING a good person makes you look absolutely vile in terms of online spaces/communities love of isolating, removing, and deleting "problematic" (and vulnerable) people from their spaces with no trial, discussion, or attempt at conflict mediation. Yea yea I do think people have every right to be criticized just as they have every right to make whatever decision they want, but what Im trying to get at is to really stop viewing anyone with a platform as someone you can other once they dont meet your standards. This is not the same as denouncing or critiquing someone for really egregious behavior (white supremacy, harrassment, bullying, interpersonal violence). Once you kinda start living by your own morals without needing other people's actions/behaviors to justify/define them, you learn to focus on building connections rather than destroying them.

again, this is a much nuanced topic and you prolly werent expecting me to go into this. but ive grown over the years and have engaged in some nasty and vile mob mentality behavior that i just dont vibe with anymore. im not really the kind of person now to speculate online or publicly what other people are doing or should be doing or whether theyre problematic or not. I don't really care about Chella man or most celebrities rn. People r just gonna be people, and I will always have empathy for those of marginalized identities. Free will, autonomy, and self determination goes both ways, but so does accountability, transformative justice, and reconciliation.

but also like kill ur idols lol

God that bit about people expecting Taika to be an activist bc he's indigenous is *exactly* what he was criticizing in that podcast that got everyone all riled up again about how it "confirmed" he was a proud Zionist for the letter and how dare he act like he should only care about other issues if people care more about Māori issues. It was literally this - exhaustion at being expected to know everything about every issue facing every oppressed group just because he is also from one, and why that is only expected of BIPOC.

oh absolutely.

i think the other thing (kind of going off of your point anon) is that people constantly demand him — and other minorities — to speak about every single thing happening in the world, but then when he does, they don’t actually want to listen to what he has to say.

although he has a habit of not thinking before he speaks, taika is a genius. when he gets going about his culture or filmmaking or any other topic he’s passionate about, his perspective is very insightful. but that doesn’t even matter because people only choose to hear what they want to hear.

and if he doesn’t give the perfectly crafted PR statement or notes app apology and actually dares to express some anger or frustration about how he and other minorities have been treated for not performing activism the way white teenagers on social media want him to, everything else he has to say is completely disregarded.

everyone who hates taika has already made their mind up about the kind of person he is and what his beliefs are. he isn’t perfect by any means, but he cares and he tries his best. but he also clearly realizes that he’ll be scrutinized and his words will be misconstrued and taken in bad faith no matter what, so he has to choose his battles. and i don’t blame him in the slightest for being exhausted.

Prepare to be sick of me!! cause here is another RWRB rant, This post contains spoilers (kinda but not really)

Again if you haven’t read the book please do!! Not only because it is an amazing read but for those who felt the movie was missing something read the book and it will fill in all the plot holes (and by that, I mean references and or callbacks to the original text you wouldn’t catch unless you read the book) I’ve been seeing people be like why is Miguel the villain? Why’d he leak the emails and not the white Republican candidate like in the books? This is just my personal opinion and interpretation but….

I feel this was done to touch on how just because someone is marginalized that doesn’t mean they have a vested interest in their community or how they vote against their best interests along with support people who shame and make laws against the very community they are a part of. Listen I get it within the book it is made known that Jeffrey Richards leaks these emails but I think people may be missing that making him not the “villain” (even though he still very much is) just not in this specific context. The person you least expect may have been an intentional choice. There are so many LGBTQ+ individuals and BIPOC individuals who keep community with the very people who call us vile names and create laws to specifically police how we exist yet they don’t see an issue with it because it’s a (useless) attempt to want to be othered or seen as better (think of it like “not like those other girls” phenomenon). Also if I’m remembering correctly the movie never specified what type of political journalism Miguel did just that he did it (for politico which CAN lean left but is mostly across the board anything having to do with politics or things that will affect the political climate) in journalism you can report on both camps and attempt not to be bias the only link Miguel had to Alex is him following Ellen’s campaign and reporting on it and wanting to have more of a fling with Alex.

Also if I'm remembering correctly Miguel in my opinion never actually cared about Alex or wanting to build a relationship with him he cared about getting exclusives for his reporting and wanting to hook up with him. So it's not like Miguel actually cared deeply about Alex unless it served in his best interest so his leaking the emails was purely a move to further his journalistic career with a story he knew would cause national attention even if it came at the expense of outing Alex and Henry, and someone within his own community.

This movie by no means was perfect and did leave out A LOT of plots from the book but it’s important to read the original text to see the True Depth of the story and get that context I also think with the approach the movie and the director's decision you have to approach it with a bit of nuance. And I’m not saying this is why the director chose to make it Miguel who leaks the emails this is just my personal takeaway from it and why I personally believe it might have been done.

TL;DR: Just because someone is marginalized doesn't mean they actually care about the community of that same marginalized identity, this topic has so much more nuance and layers that exist outside of this movie, and specific context, people of marginalized communities can be the "villain" and sometimes are and they are capable of doing harm to those very communities, and once again READ RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE.

This whole post is about BIPOC solidarity don’t mind me it’s very special to me😊

https://www.tumblr.com/precious-little-scoundrel/754639534257569792/alex-should-bond-with-smith-and-teach-her-how-to

I could so see Smith being the first to bond and connect with them just cause u know. And beyond just decency and trying to get as much help as they can, I could see that influencing the Buckies decision to get to know them. Like edit that conversation in ur head, when Bucky says “what do u think of them” and Gale says “I don’t think anything of them” (which lowkey Gale WHAT do you mean by that 😧) and then Bucky says “I think you should” but maybe he follows that up with a little “Smith seems to like them”. Gale can just hum casually in response cause that girl likes everyone. But that certainly doesn’t stop him from having that conversation with Alex the next day. I like the idea of them respecting her enough to trust her judgement in character, even if she’s too kind for her own good.

Also, my second thought, Sanchez got shot down at the same time as Buck yes? So even if she got to the stalag at the same time as Smith, she’s had more of a time to process what happened to her. And I was rereading TWC and noticed that you put them in the same bunk when they first got there and a part of me was so sad for poor Smith to be away from everyone and not have much comfort but then I started thinking how Sanchez could’ve been such a comfort to her. Because first of all she’s. Not white. Which is comforting in its own way when being prisoner in a camp run by Nazis. But also, even if she and Smith don’t outright discuss what happened to them, I feel like she’d just. Be good with her you know? Like she’d know she was going through it and just try to be kind. Idk what those acts of kindness look like (knowing what I know so far about Sanchez, probably quite subtle) but. Maybe there’s a secret motivation for why Smith took care of her when she was on her period (beyond her being an angel).

YES BESTIE!

The whole way the antagonism or simply the nebulous “never known someone like that before” aspect in camp was handled in the show was…interesting. Even if it’s subtle -which, with my headcanons for Sanchez they would be, she’s no bleeding heart nurturer- it still fully agree there was probably some interaction or solidarity there leading up to even Smith’s care during Sanchez’s period.

And the concept of Gale knowing what a softie Smith is and yet taking her opinion seriously all the same about Jefferson? Ughhh yessss

I might appreciate Memorial Day more

If I didn’t start the weekend by performing at a Memorial Day service

Where I had to sit quietly and listen to a man, who passed laws denying trans kids health care, talk about the soldiers who gave their lives to guarantee freedom “for all people”

Apparently, not trans kids

And probably not the trans woman my brother served with either, if this man got his way

Where I’m expected to stand for prayer after prayer to the christian god

So apparently not pagans or people of other religions either. Could have at least invited a rabbi or something to diversify it a little? I wouldn’t mind standing so much then.

I go because I honestly believe those kids who died fighting in conflicts caused by the rich and powerful deserve to be remembered and honored. Their death didn’t have to happen, but it did.

And if adding my voice to 2 songs helps give them some crumb of the respect they deserve for that, then cool. I’ll go sit in the hot sun and try not to be too upset at the politicians who’s words feel like a slap

I listen to an old bell ring as each of this past year’s deaths are read out

But as a trans pagan sitting quietly waiting for my cue to sing

I can’t help but think the rich powerful man giving the speech about the dead soldier’s sacrifice shouldn’t be there

But he always is because he is rich and powerful and holds office

3 years now I’ve sat and listened to that man talk about things his policies don’t uphold. Things he admits he, and people like him, convince our kids to go out and die trying to protect

And then I go home and watch people party. My part of the city gets particularly rowdy with block parties and people flooding in from all over for the events and spectacles.

They play loud music into the night

They watch a race and don’t even flinch on how bad the event must be for the environment

They grill out and play silly games

And I sit quietly at home with the paper poppy I was given to wear at the service thinking I’m lucky that my grandfather, cousin, and brother all came back

I think about how my brother would still fight to protect me if it came to that and it very well may because of that rich and powerful man

I think of how lucky my family is that none of my uncles got sent out at one point, barely squeaking by as too young for the draft back in the 60’s and 70’s

I spend it this way not because how others do is “wrong” but because I’m an introvert and the ceremony I sing at exhausts me. Listening to the rich powerful man who thinks kids like me shouldn’t exist exhausts me. Hearing my neighbors around me exhausts me. And so I prefer to stay inside where the noise is slightly muted.

Because with the state of our freedom, it doesn’t feel sincere

It should feel like a feast in Valhalla, but it doesn’t. Not to me.

And I wonder how the gold star families spend this day. How they feel. Do they celebrate or mourn? Both?

Do they listen to the rich powerful man’s speech and silently fume like I do?

Do they think their dead kid deserves more than a half packed service on a Friday afternoon?

Are the speeches and Christian centric prayers and wreaths and horses and bells and chair enough for them?

Do they have a trans kid their loved one died for who isn’t being protected despite that sacrifice?

I look into the audience and see several BIPOC families. Are they angry because they aren’t being protected either despite their loved ones death in trying to ensure their safety and freedom?

Idk. I don’t have the answers to any of this.

I struggle to appreciate Memorial Day as it is

The whole weekend paralyzes me

It should be more and less. Backed up by good laws and less bigotry and genocide

But I go. And I sing.

And I sit quietly at home praying to my gods that next year will feel less like an insult to the dead

[cursecuelebre]

I’m part Geek Cypriot as an American who didn’t get a chance to grew up in that culture and family it’s quite sad and unfortunate. But even then I still have Americanized view on Greek culture because I grew up in America in American culture and way of thinking.

I’m trying my best to connect to my heritage and ancestry by realizing the misconceptions and misunderstandings about Greeks and their culture is one of them. I’m sure this goes to Italians as well. I don’t mind retellings of Greek myths or stories but as along it’s respectful and appropriate to the gods and the culture from which they came. I understand not all deities originated from Greece/Hellas but they have been deeply ingrained into Hellenism and take recognition that Greek mythology and literature and the religion is also deeply rooted in Hellenic culture still to this day. There are many people in Greece and her distant islands including Cyprus are still practitioners of Hellenic polytheism.

I loved Percy Jackson especially the OG series it will always have a special place in my heart BUT Rick though I love his inclusiveness to many minorities of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ he didn’t involve anything that was Greek except the mythology which isn’t the only thing revolving around in Greece, I would love a demigod who was an actual Hellene in PJO universe yes Nico is Italian but Greeks and Italians are similar but not the same even in ancient times, it’s like Irish people and Scottish people are the same people when they have similar cultures but still their not identical. Like besides the Gods and monsters I would like to see an actual Greek demigod in a story about Greek mythology who grew up in that culture, knows the language, the food, the people, etc. I don’t know it’s my two cents. I recently gotten into an argument with brain dead people saying “it doesn’t apply to me since I don’t practice Hellenic polytheism or I am not Greek.” Or “These are fictional stories of fictional characters in the first place so who cares.” which is absolutely ridiculous because myths are part of our culture and shouldn’t be appropriate by people who want to write smuts and thirst traps believe in what you want ofc but fucking respect the damn fact it’s someone’s cultures and values. I really want to write a story centered around Greek mythology and such but I don’t want to be disrespectful even I as part Hellene I understand that but it’s still who I am and I’m proud of it and if I ever do make stories centered around Greek mythology I’ll do my damn hardest to do it Justice.

could you please point me to your post about how americans misuse greek mythology (if it isn't too much trouble, of course)? while i'm not american i would be interested in reading about it since i think it is always a relevant topic

Ah, sure, no trouble! The thing is, I have several posts on this matter. Time to make a masterpost. Some disclaimers first:

1) The blogs I reblog from, I don’t agree in everything with them. I also can’t look up every blog I’ve ever reblogged from. 2) Greeks are not mad at Americans for not knowing. (You can’t expect someone to automatically know things for other countries so far away from them). The problem is most Americans don’t research or even realize that they have to research, since they are absorbed in their own country’s affairs only. Probably because of their country’s power and self-reliance, some Americans have a hard time comprehending in depth how other cultures differ from theirs. 3) This also goes for countries who have been and are big powers. It’s mostly the UK, Germany, Austria, France, Australia and Canada (perhaps). There is a certain amount of privilege these countries have and they can more easily forget to check if the information they are served from the media or their friends about Greek mythology is correct.

On this attitude there is a small commentary in this Post

The recent Nike stupidity: Post (I forgot to reblog the addition so I’m sending you to another blog)

"If you see “Greek mythology” and your mind goes to North Americans and Northwestern Europeans, you haven’t decolonized your mind yet." Post

How Americans (among other foreigners) miss the mark with Hades and Persephone myth. Post

False stereotypes for Greeks and Greece most Americans have: Post

Dispelling the myth that ancient Greek folklore is a patriarchal creation. (Greece was and is patriarchal, but the creation of folklore doesn’t fall onto men only. Dismissing the whole ancient and modern folklore as “fanfiction written by dudes” is quite dismissive and condescending) Post

Foreigners not knowing we had a word for blue! Post

Some (mostly Anglophone) Hellenic pagans use "Hellen"/"Hellene" as their identity name, while that name denotes a nationality. Also, some Hellenic Pagans identify as "Hellenic" which sounds as if they identify as Greek people. (It is like me saying “I am British”. It's a linguistic matter. The problem is that they don't know it and that this knowledge isn't available to them). They also falsely use the word "Hellenismos" as a name for their religion. Meanwhile, "Hellenismos" always meant "Greek people and culture". (Another linguistic knowledge not available. And nobody cares to ask Greeks about it) Post

Sarah J. Maas passing existing names and cultures as her own Post (In her more recent books she has more Greek words but she says they are part of an “ancient forgotten language”)

In the book Receiver of Many (from a US American author) there were many weird things, including Persephone not knowing what her name meant. (reminder: she speaks the language her name is from :p) There were so many inaccuracies I had made a whole post about it but I got tired and deleted it, together with my memories of it :p

In the book Circe the hero Odysseus and his crew become rapists to further develop Circe’s story. This invalidates both Circe and the beloved hero of the Greeks for millennia. (Odysseus wasn’t a saint but making him a rapist is not respectful either). The author, Madeline Miller also said in an article that she continues (!!!) the Greek mythology and the article compared her to Homer. Madeline Miller is a US American with a BA and MA in Latin and Ancient Greek, and has been teaching both for almost a decade. If a person with such knowledge is doing this, it makes me feel that we really have no hope with the rest. 

Rick Riordan being culturally inclusive but surprisingly NOT inclusive to Greeks, in a series talking about Greek mythology. I don’t recall dances, food, customs and relatable things in the Percy Jackson series. What is more, some portrayals of the gods are questionable. And Apollo’s surname is Christian Orthodox and means “Priest’s Child”. Which is weird and shows that the amount of research on his surname lasted less than ten seconds. This Post shows how it would be to have some Hellenismos (Greekness) in the Percy Jackson series.

Lore Olympus, holy f*ck, where do I begin.... (The author is from New Zealand where you can find Greek people and communities, and is also very active on social media where she could have found Greeks and ask them)

A British author misusing Greek language and mythology in To Kill a Kingdom: Post

Americans drawing Greek deities without any Greek elements on them: Post (OP’s blog has changed, so the post remains just as an example) Another Post comments on this trend.

And last but not least, all the hate Zeus (the literal father of gods!!) gets on this most US American site shows zero seconds of research on Greek mythology.
