Have you had Nazi propaganda blazed onto your dashboard? Me too.

Its no secret that Tumblr doesn't give a damn about its user base. It's been made abundantly clear to me that not only do they not care. Tumblr is allowing posts with direct links to nazi propaganda and chatroom sites to be blazed!

The only reason I found this post? Because Tumblr put it in front of my face on my dashboard.

In the notes of this post there were dozens of reblogs with things like "is this an ARG?" "Oh whats this, save for later". One comment that said "tempting".

This is a neo nazi trying to recruit you.

Report this immediately. Do not click links. Email support@tumblr.com telling them that you don't want neo nazis paying them to show us this garbage.

If you want to know how I figured out what this was in more detail, I'll put it under a read more so that everyone can be a little safer and a little smarter out there.

First: I went to the persons blog.

This one in particular is clever enough to have an ask about palestinian donations as their first post. The second is the one screenshot above.

I kept scrolling. Most are youtube links posted with 0 notes or interaction. This is another link to the same site here.

If you scroll far enough, you'll see they've reblogged an original post.

If you directly copy and paste this text into google, you'll find exactly one result. A PDF in Bulgarian hosted on a website named aobg.org.

Sounds legit, right?

Its the official website for the Bulgarian Society of Anthroposophy. A 'new age spiritual movement based on German idealism'. A cult.

As soon as I made the connection, I knew that clicking the original link would lead me to something similar. I felt confident enough to click it safely (DO NOT TRY AT HOME), and was launched into the shittiest little pro Nazi website with a live chatroom on the side.

There are always signs, always queues. Do not be stupid out there. These are NOT ARGs. If you aren't sure, block and move on.

SURPRISE i also wrote this although it was runner up in the milestone poll

warnings: onsided danzo/kagami, guys being dudes behaviour, differing beauty standards, culture clash, slight skinny shaming in a joking way among friends 

===

The first time Danzo really understands the power of the sharingan is on a mission where he believes he is about to die. Uchiha Kagami flashsteps to the middle of the melee and their enemies simply drop in a thud and clatter of weapons and armour. There is not a single scratch on him, the figure he cuts in the moonlight is dark and victorious.

For a single moment when he looks up, there is a flash of red and Danzo's world spins, but then Kagami averts his eyes and it feels like the gods of calamity have passed him by.

Danzo has never seen anything so beautiful.

===

"Why do I have to light a fire manually when we have a fire specialist on the team?" Danzo asks, frustrated, throwing the sticks down and shaking out his numb hands. The ember he had managed to make splutters and dies. 

"You're the one who's cold," Torifu answers, making no move to help. It's true, with Torifu's size and Kagami's fire nature, Danzo is usually the one who breaks first and needs a fire. 

"And you didn't ask," Kagami adds and he's not wrong, so Danzo can't complain. He doesn't bother standing, he just leans across Danzo, his chest resting partially on Danzo's lap, to blow into the firewood. Danzo freezes, but Kagami does not seem to notice. His armour is warm with his body heat where it presses into Danzo's leg. 

At first, Kagami just blows heated air, lips puckered and cheeks puffing out. His chest heaves against Danzo, several times as the kindling is wet from the rain, but then a bright flare illuminates his face as he blows a small fireball into the now-dry wood. It catches immediately, and Danzo sighs in relief as the warmth quickly spreads. He holds his hands up to the fire.  

"Didn't realise you were that cold," Kagami explains apologetically, sitting back up and looking at Danzo with his huge dark eyes.

"It's fine," Danzo says, glad that the cold and now the fire excuses his flushed face. "I am aware you run hot." 

"All the better to keep you warm at night," Torifu quips. 

For a moment Danzo fears that he's been discovered,  but Kagami just laughs and Torifu grins. 

"I'll have to remember that one," Kagami says. 

"I can't take credit," Torifu admits. "The girl at the teahouse was asking about you." 

A pang of jealousy rears behind Danzo's sternum, and he quashes it immediately. 

"Me?" Kagami asks disbelievingly. "Danzo is more handsome." 

Danzo chokes on nothing. 

"You're joking," he says. 

"It's true," Kagami insists. 

"No, no, I'm with Danzo on this," Torifu refutes. "You're small but you've got a really good face." 

"I'm not that small!" Kagami protests.  

"Look," Torifu lifts up his wrist and tries to close the fingers of his other hand around it. There is a good inch separating the tip of his middle finger from his thumb. "Do that." 

Kagami follows. His thumb and middle finger touch, maybe even slightly overlap. 

"You're an itty bitty skinny boy," Torifu says, visibly trying not to laugh as he speaks. "And—pfft— and a girl from my clan would pick you up and put you in her purse instead of her bed." 

Clearly fighting a losing battle, Kagami turns to Danzo, eyes imploring. Danzo turns the backs of his hands to the fire and closes one hand around the other wrist. His finger and thumb are a sliver away from touching. 

"My fingers are just longer," Kagami excuses. 

He reaches out to hold Danzo's wrist, moving slow and clearly telegraphing his intent, meeting Danzo's gaze for a split second for permission. His fingers close and his middle finger and thumb touch over Danzo’s pulse. His grip is firm, there’s more strength in his hand that he’s not using here, calluses from shinobi work, and his palm is hot on Danzo’s skin. 

“See?” Kagami says to Torifu, seemingly not noticing the jump in Danzo’s pulse. 

Danzo flexes his wrist and breaks the hold, twisting round to catch Kagami’s wrist. Kagami lets him, hand loose and trusting as Danzo’s fingers close around his wrist. The thin skin there shows the pulse, the tendons, the veins; everything that would allow him to permanently disable the most valuable instruments of their trade. The decadence is overwhelming, and he wants so badly to press his lips to Kagami’s pulse there, but instead he just moves his hold to show that his middle finger and thumb touch. 

“All you’re proving is that both of you are skinny boys,” Torifu says, shaking his head. He tosses some sweet potatoes to the ground right next to them. “Put those in the fire, will you?” 

With some reluctance, Danzo lets go of Kagami’s wrist. Kagami misunderstands the reluctance. He sighs and leans his shoulder against Danzo’s as a joking, consoling half-hug. 

“At least we have each other,” he says in an exaggerated mournful tone. He sits back up before Danzo can respond, and starts helping to arrange the potatoes in the ashes. 

“I still think Danzo is more handsome though,” Kagami says conversationally as he dusts his hands off. Danzo shakes his head slightly. “Out of the three of us.”

“I hate to accuse an Uchiha of bad vision–” Torifu starts and Kagami tosses a stray pebble at him. He dodges easily, and laughs. 

“He’s got a good eye shape,” Kagami argues. “Mine turn down at the outer edges and you've got no double eyelids. Also the colour is cool, have you seen when they catch the morning light at an angle? They're gold." 

Danzo clears his throat, trying to ignore the embarrassment burning up his neck at the compliments. 

“Face scar,” he points out, dusting his own hands off as well. “It puts most people off, especially civilians.” 

“Huh,” Torifu comments. "I didn't know civilians were your type.” 

"I didn't know civilians were put off by it," Kagami says thoughtfully. "I don't think anyone in my clan would be." He turns to Danzo and smiles. "Want to marry in?" 

Danzo has a sudden vision of Kagami in a groom's kimono, the formal blacks and greys and white complementing his black hair and fair skin, the only colour his lips, or the blazing red of his sharingan. He swallows discreetly. 

"To you?" Danzo asks, trying very hard for casual but coming off a bit more as surprised, all while his heart hammers in his chest and he can't tear his thoughts away from that image. 

His teammates think he's joking, and break into laughter. Even though it is what he intended, to see Kagami laugh at the notion stings a little. He tucks that away, and smiles as if the joke landed well. 

"Hey, what about me?" Torifu asks. 

"Aren't you main house?" Kagami asks, slightly breathless from trying not to laugh. 

"Yeah but there are eight people in line for succession before me." 

"Akimichi main house marrying out to a clan you already have an alliance with?" Danzo asks, eyebrow raised sceptically. 

"Yeah," Kagami agrees readily, an easy smile on his handsome features. "It’s all hypothetical, but we still have to be realistic." 

"It could be real for Danzo," Torifu points out. 

"What?" Danzo didn't squeak, but it was close, his voice strangling itself in shock, the word leaving his lips before he could stop himself. 

"You're the only one not engaged," Kagami replies and it feels like the earth drops out from under Danzo, but he hasn't started falling yet. 

"You are—?" Danzo asks. Kagami blinks his big dark eyes in confusion and looks over to Torifu, whose brow is also furrowed. 

"Yeah?" Torifu answers. "I thought we talked about it before, but maybe you’d gone to piss or something. I've been matched with a shipping merchant's daughter since I was like six." 

That Danzo had already known. Instead he silently looks to Kagami, who nods. 

"Mine was always going to be in-clan," Kagami confirms. "I only knew who exactly a couple of weeks ago, though, which is why it came up."

Of all the possible information gaps, this one blindsiding Danzo makes it worse somehow. He needs better information. He needs Kagami to stop smiling at him, tentative and expectant, cute and shy, with no idea how it twists the knife.

"Congratulations," Danzo says, the word like poison on his tongue. He looks away, looks for any excuse to change the subject, and looks into the fire and ashes. He fumbles for a kunai in his pouch, and stabs one of the sweet potatoes. The skin splits easily on the blade, and the kunai goes all the way through. "I think the food is ready, by the way. Shall we eat?" 

That is enough distraction for them, if not himself.

I'm not sure if I believe the "Wakaba Isshiki did unethical experiments" theory in the fandom, but I do think this is the biggest proof of it in-game:

Because how the hell would she know that?

The first explanation is that she did experiments by sending people into palaces and then testing what happens to them if the palace collapses. Which is messed up for obvious reasons.

The second explanation is that she did NOT test it, meaning she was just making shit up. Which is funny but also would make her a terrible scientist. This explanation is less believable because everything else about her research is too accurate.

There's also a theory that Wakaba did unethical experiments on Akechi specifically. I'm not sure I believe that, since the evidence for it is pretty shallow (like the featherman game scientist experimenting on grey pigeon). But this scene is once again the biggest argument you could make for that theory. The researcher in the image above refers to palaces by their correct term 'palaces', which they say was based on Wakaba's research. But that's only something you would know with firsthand experience of the metaverse. And the only person they know who could access the metaverse was Akechi (that we know of, but i dont think Shido would rely only on Akechi if there were other options).

So yeah this scene is very sus. It's most likely the writers didn't think too deep about the implications. There's no way they wanted Futaba's mom to be sketchy, right? But even if it's not intentional, the scenes and their implications still exist. So in conclusion those theories make sense, I get it, and I don't blame anyone for headcanoning them and having fun. And tbh anyone involved with cognitive psience was portrayed as some degree of unethical (maruki for example), maybe this is just on-brand

You ever just see a Mouthwashing take that makes you want to bang your head into a wall? I literally just saw someone claim Curly couldn't have been emotionally abused by Jimmy before the crash because he was in a higher position of power than Jimmy.

-Shrimp Anon

The mouthwashing fandom has shown me that people genuinely do believe that certain types of abuse are not as detrimental as other types especially when they deem those immune/resistant, ergo, believing one is objectively worse no matter how it affects the person nor the intersections of power, history and dynamics at play.

Get ready cause this is a yap session:

Cause like it's heavily implied that Curly and Jimmy's friendship was toxic and abusive, pointedly in the direction of how Jimmy uses Curly's belief/comfort in him. Curly wasn't forced to enable Jimmy but he was emotional and mentally on edge around him in almost every scene in some way. Mental and emotional abuse are not contingent on what positions you have at work. Yeah, he's Jimmy's boss but he was Jimmy's friend first and it's like getting into Psych discussion to talk about how social power tends to overshadow any perceived organizational power in the human mind. People are concerned about their jobs ofc but they tend to hang onto and put more value/investment into their personal relationships, hence why there tends to be laws and restrictions around mixing the two.

I always see the sentiments that "Curly is a grown ass man", "Curly is bigger than Jimmy", "Curly is Jimmy's boss", "He just needed a backbone" as criticisms of Curly and while I do agree that on the surface level all of these to be true and viable ways Curly could've taken more control of the situation, I often look at the parallels of Anya and Curly as victims of Jimmy pre/post crash.

The way Jimmy talks to Anya post crash is how he talked to Curly in the pre-crash segments. It's hard to pin-point mainly because we know he hates and wants nothing to do with Anya compared to his contrary but similarly handled obsessions with Curly. It's a weird sort of "honey-moon" effect of abuse Jimmy does in terms of emotional and mental victimization. He is always horrid to Anya, always talking down or questioning her abilities and thoughts in a situation, this of course includes the harassment and assault. However, he has a moment of attempted gentleness/conditioning when he question her about the mouthwash when she's contemplating drinking it at the table. The key difference is he has no personal investment in Jimmy outside wanting nothing to do with him, meaning there is no sort of romanticized version of him that he can condition her off of. He knows this, hence, why he always reverts to trying to make her to scared to oppose him.

This sort of give and take of "kindness" doesn't work on her because she knows he is just doing it to take more from her than whatever he could possibly give but it reflects even the "softer" scenes between him and Curly where he always rewords or rephrases Curly's sentiments and concerns to sound more shallow. He is feigning a deeper understanding by reworking Curly's emotions into something bad and needing to be hidden. Everything is laced with envy and resentment, an outburst just around the corner, I mean he even slams the table in the birthday party scene, a tactic in emotional manipulation to set the victim on edge and cloud their ability to respond. Even if Curly knows Jimmy won't get physical in that moment, the physical actions is intended to make him back down in the confrontation in case it does. This is something that is just not person specific. It ingrains itself into how you interact with the world and life and it shows in major and minor ways with Curly.

Post-crash, the abusive nature is more in tandem to the physical victimization Anya went through and the stripping of voice and autonomy we see take place. Like the parasite in HFIM, Jimmy speaks for Curly most of the time and puts words in his mouth, similarly to how he takes Anya's plans as his own. He very commonly, with the both of them mind you, supplements the worst aspects of himself into them; pettiness, selfishness, lack of understanding... And tries to cover himself with their best qualities; kindness, planning, initiative, etc...

These parallel are just to say that positional power has little to do with if a person can be abused and how it can even be flipped to further the abuse. There is no doubt that Curly could've picked up on Jimmy's envy of his position hence another reason he never confronted him as a Captain but as a friend as doing so would immediately put Jimmy in a space to be confrontational/combative.

I think the disdain some people have when they talk about the heavily implied if not implicitly stated emotional/mental abuse Curly experienced being Jimmy's friend is when treating it as an excuse to why he didn't do more. I can understand that completely because it is not an excuse to why he didn't do more but is a very real reason people in his position in these scenarios can experience whether in the context of a work or social environment. However, I also think the way people talk about it really does demonstrate a bigger problem when talking about abuse when somehow who is/was abused is either part of the issue or enabled it.

Harkening back to the sentiments about Curly's inaction regarding Jimmy, I think the exact phrases I used/have seen show how there is an inherent belief that it is easier to overpower the effects of emotional/mental abuse that go in tandem with the perception of Curly as someone who should be able to. There is not an age you suddenly stop being susceptible to abuse nor a set point or low where you realize how it has affected you. You don't suddenly know to stand up or put a face on to face your abuser nor admit that you inadvertently enabled them to subjugate someone else to the same treatment. Maybe it's my psych brain but their is this growing belief that direct action is somehow easy or always the best method with the game shows you instances where it is not always the case. In real life that rings true too. He should have done more, but it's not impossible to see why he struggled to find a way or didn't even if it makes us mad.

It's not easy to suddenly gain a "back-bone". You don't immediately want to resort to aggression, especially if it mirrors the type you were a victim to. You don't want to believe you allowed yourself to be treated this bad, let it get that bad or allowed something bad to happen to someone else. It is easy to be in denial, to retreat to your thoughts or make excuses to avoid the painful truth. It's frustrating but in a way we know is relatable. It why we both hate and love Curly for it. We know we'd be better, we think we'd be better, we like to think we wouldn't falter in the same ways but it's always easier to say that from the outside looking in. It's easy to see what he was doing wrong because we are seeing it, not him, but the game really does make you picture what you would do if this was your raw reality and it's why this debate about Curly seems so never ending/contradictory. We can all say what we'd do but bottom line is that's much different when you're in the moment with all the emotions and human feelings attached.

I personally think Mouthwashing tackles the themes of rape culture, enabling, toxic masculinity, types of abuse and patriarchy in ways that are meant to deconstruct the typical straightforward views we mostly have of these concepts and how little subtilities of them are just as, if not more, detrimental than the overt/obvious parts. The game deals with the idea of little details and bigger picture in a way to show that sometimes the bigger picture is not the issue but the little details that make it up. It's why I have a personal dislike of depictions of Jimmy as the typical horrible person who would of course do something like this because the game is about noticing the little warning signs, the foreshadowing and foresight.

It's why I dislike the typical discussion of "bro code" and "boys will be boys" for the game because the game makes a point to avoid the standard depictions of such. It is about the type of men who still enable despite not condoning, agreeing or even perpetuating harmful beliefs because they can't see the little details or the ways it seeps into their everyday. The severity is not obvious to them as it was not obvious to Curly, Swansea or even Daisuke the way it was to a woman like Anya. There are little details about Jimmy that should ring alarms but if you are too naive like Daisuke, too distant like Swansea or too conditioned like Curly, they are just off markers.

There is 100% more constructive/concise ways to say "Curly was a victim of Jimmy's abuse on an emotional and mental aspect that clouded his judgements and perceptions in the scenario" while also critiquing on the side of "Curly still had a responsibility to protect Anya as a crew mate and Captain that he failed to do due to biases and stigma's he failed to surpass" without the weird condemnation people give him about should've knowing better than to let himself be manipulated by a person he considered a close, if not family/best-friend and had his own reasons to trust initially. Also stop being weird about victims of abuse in general with this fandom, like sorry not everyone has a like social epiphany the moment someone's nasty to them. People are treating it like you immediately know when you are in a toxic relationship immediately or comprehend when a person is actively dangerous and either it's your fault for not knowing how to leave/cut them off or you deserve it. Like the hypocrisy of people believing how certain fans treat the story reflect their irl views but not their own is crazy.

End statement is: I honestly don't even know man, I've been writing this too long and just like no man on that ship was perfect or really helped Anya when it mattered and I feel like pitting them against each other in discussion on who did the least or most or how it was justified sucks cause in the end Anya always did the most and best thing for herself.

"As a classic character in the past stories, Wheeljack was still unknown at this time, just like other Transformers that became famous later. He made a special appearance in the movie as a miner without a transforming gear." (i dont get it either)

"Death trackers are elite law enforcers under the command of the prime and the airachnid, responsible for maintaining order in the Iacon and ensuring the safety of the prime. They are good at quickly eliminating threats before they take shape."
