It is virtually impossible to have a real conversation about anti-Semitism anymore and fight it where it really lives, because of this. Israel deliberately appoints itself the actor on behalf of all Jews, runs roughshod over everything and pisses from the diving board, then cynically labels any pushback as anti-Semitism. The result is the further inflammation of real anti-Semitism in which Jews everywhere are assumed to be unequivocally supportive of Israel's fascist despicable behavior BECAUSE ISRAEL CONSTANTLY TELLS EVERYONE WE ARE. As a Diaspora Jew, I am done being used as a moral shield for this shit show of a country and its fascist regime. I am done with watching Jewish trauma get refined into fuel for an oppressive, genocidal war machine. Not in my name. Doykait forever.

just say you fucking hate Jewish people you fucking insensitive piece of shit. god

Some of the bravest people i know personally and some of the bravest people in the United States are the anti-zionist jews marching in the tens of thousands in cities all over the country against Israel's barbaric bombing of Gaza right now. You live in an extremist right wing echo chamber that inexorably ties Judaism to Zionism and the Israeli state.

my dad mentioned the vienna situation to me and one of the things i told him was that i find it very curious that 3 little girls are killed at a dance class and a week later there’s a terrorist attack planed at the eras tour, to which he replied that both events are unrelated… but i disagree.

the deep hatred for taylor and the fandom has reached a level of insanity that is ending with the life of innocent girls. it is a known fact that taylor’s audience is formed by mostly women and girls (we can also note that lots of her fans are part of the lgbtq community) so it is not a coincidence that it is events related to her the ones being targeted lately.

it’s really scary to see young men being radicalized by the internet. all the misogynistic comments and “jokes” about mass murdering swifties translate to the real world by inciting people to bring said “jokes” to reality and create terror.

the eras tour has been a safe space for women and girls to express their love for an artist in whom they’ve found comfort, to be themselves and have a lovely time. from my experience, it was one of the best atmospheres i have ever been in… and now it is being taken from us… will we women be allowed to enjoy anything? are we allowed to exist at all?

struggling with this piece and every time i open layers i get jump scared by how the coloring looks

realizing that people who equate cynicism with intellectual rigor are often just being lazy and pathetic has been so helpful tbh

Which character has your favourite line in the show?

"Meaningless word. Meaningless."

i want him to step on me like a bug

the disdain, it gets me. You can really see who Armand is and what he's capable of here. Louis is fragile, he just tried to kill himself, but Armand doesn't forgive ooh no, he's sooo angry he's so hot

there are a lot of layers to what's going on, because it's been boling inside of them for so long. but this:

"sorry? you said you're sorry? yes, repeat it, i didn't hear your babble. Right, i don't care." GOD. you know what i mean???

[konohamaru-sensei]

ah. it hurts

[crime-wives]

when emma’s hurt by something, she pushes it down and away and pretends until she can’t anymore. she bends and bends and sometimes she can steady herself, pull herself back from the precipice. until she breaks, and all the hurt springs back and she’s an open wound. a lost girl who’s always running, always afraid. emma fears her pain will make her unlovable. that the people she loves will leave if they realize the breadth of the wounds she carries. emma is bruised knuckles and hard, lonely eyes and an indescribable ache.

regina is more obvious in her hurt. she’s angry. a storm. she wields her pain as a weapon. she is not afraid to be seen in her intensity. often, it’s a mask to cover to the grief she feels. her life has been a series of losses strung together with only her as a constant. love is often the source of her pain. she feels so much hurt because she has the capacity for so much love. beyond the anger is so much self loathing and hatred. anger is the easier of the two. she is rage and she is destruction, and if she can’t find someone to destroy, she destroys herself.

emma grew up angry, regina grew up sad. they both became what they needed to survive.

Me: I don't like when shows queerbait me.

Other Fans: Well then just watch other shows, dummy!!!!

Me: 👍👍👍 wow what a tidy way to dismiss and invalidate a legitimate reaction to homophobic story tropes! 👍👍👍

The "just leave then" response to people wanting more inclusivity from the stories they love is not just emotionally invalidating - it is also one of the things that keeps storytellers from feeling that they need to improve in the future by making fans feel stupid for demanding better representation in the first place.

This kind of response doesn't just make you sound like a conservative (since this is a VERY popular response that conservatives have when confronted with leftist media criticism), it also fundamentally ignores the fact that there may not BE an equivalent story with good rep to go to after leaving the queerbait-y one behind.

Delicious in Dungeon is special and unique; that's why I genuinely love it. It is that love that makes me want it to do better.

When I see that Shuro is allowed to openly express romantic love for Falin, but Marcille/Falin is relegated to mere implication, it makes me really sad. It may not be a romance manga, but there ARE straight couples, and hetero desire IS on display - which makes the lack of open queerness all the more noticeable.

So when people say "just go watch something else" in response to my genuine sadness and irritation that a beloved story is excluding people like me..... Are you telling me there's a nearly identical queer show - with a similarly active fandom - all about found family learning to cook beautiful foods in a dungeon? Is my favorite-guy-ever Senshi going to be there? Is there actually a place for me to go to??

OR is there only one Delicious in Dungeon, and that's what makes it great?

I think actually folks who respond this way just want me to leave, and they don't really care where I go, so long as their favorite thing doesn't have to stand up to criticism.

Because I don't want lesbian media elsewhere. I want it here, with my friend Marcille. Here, where the seeds of queer romance were purposely planted to hook my attention. What's so wrong with being disappointed if those seeds never grow to bear fruit??

We can like good art and still demand it does better. And we can validate people who are sad it isn't doing better without getting defensive. Critical analysis is healthy and important. It's how good and bad stories are fully understood, and it's how better stories get made.

And while I will try to enjoy the plentiful delicious crumbs I am being served (since it is more than most shows give me), just because I CAN squish a bunch of crumbs together into the approximate shape of a muffin, that doesn't mean I've been served a meal.

More on this topic because I love a good analogy

collab #2 with @xenole i was given a chibi yakumo and i.. i...... turned it into thiS

god. god. how do they talk about striking the entirety of aeor down so as to tie a loose end for good as if the red thing in their sky isn't orbiting exandria right then and now. how do they talk about preventing loose knowledge when they have let mortals keep a literal written text of predathos and the death of their two siblings that they had tried to erase. but oh then again those mortals happen to be a devout of theirs, so That's Okay.

and i KNOW they're not talking about caring for their children when ruidusborns are still born into this world stumbling, immediately struck down and deemed tainted by divinity.

Guys some of you have got to process grief better— you can’t be watching Lewis clearly explain how leaving Merc makes him emotional because it’s his family, and he’s been processing that sadness all year, and think he’s saying they’re making him sad on purpose

People get sad when they leave things, people get sad and struggle moving on even when they know it’s the right choice. People leave things they love for new adventures all the time and they can still feel sad.

Feeling sad isn’t an emotion to be banished, sometimes it’s an honour to have loved something so much it made you sad. Grief is the persistence of love
