#it just has bad connotations to me

it's been pointed out on here before that a lot of terf arguments are actually rooted in sexist idealology that feminists fought and died to unnormalise decades ago and that's its own kettle of fish but one thing i also find very frustrating about this so called 'radical' feminism is that it's so... defeatist? like the moment you categorically label an entire section of society as Bad and Inherently Evil then there's also the implication that nothing can be done about it, and it completely takes all accountability away. saying all men are evil is just another way of saying boys will be boys. he raped her because he's a man. he hit her because he's a man. he didn't listen because he's a man - it's almost offensively oversimplified. there's no point trying to fix this issue in society because men are just Like That, okay! so now what? it's not like they're going anywhere, so you just accept that 50% of the population are evil and will forever treat you terribly and there's nothing to be done about it bc they're biologically predisposed to it? like is that fr the argument here? you're soooo radical for that

There is gonna be more than that coming from the poll, but whatever it is vote Kacchan/Deku for best hero. Idc who wins i just need them to be together again

if they just announced it today without saying anything before, I would probably immediately do it.

Right now im just bitter because of the hype -I thought it would at least slightly relate to the actual story (adaptations of other stories, extra content for the volume which once again may I remind everyone is extremely short, almost half what a manga volume usually looks which is a huge problem).

This disappointed me extremely, as its not even related to any content from the manga beyond the characters it uses. I get that many ppl will work on this, and that artist will get excited over being able to get the spotlight, some will be able to ask specific questions, and a character will get a statue and a movie.

Still extremely disappointed because of the "special project will be announced on the 5th *wink wink*".

I can't feel excitement over it as, in my mind, I lost something that felt better -more content related to the story. So at best this would be "oh cool I can try it", a feeling pretty similar to the other announcements -not my favorite thing in the world, but I wont reject it and try to see what comes out of it.

This isnt at best to me right now

i can't take any discourse post seriously if it says "x side is refusing to listen to survivors" because if you can't accept that survivors are not a monolith and may disagree with you in regards to your shared type of trauma then it really begs the question, are YOU actually listening to survivors? or are you only listening to the ones who say what you already thought and disregarding the rest as a) people who are incapable of understanding their own trauma and therefore can't be trusted to make decisions about it for themselves or b) outright fakers?

I am in envy over how you portray suns bc at least you understand them well enough to portray them LMAO

WELL- "understand them"- see i did the thing where i disregard canon to a degree (n disregard fanon as much as possible) for my own happye and if it somehow manages to land so close to the canonical vibes of them by complete miracle for some people i give a dumb grin and a 👌 n if it doesn't then we ballin 😔

like. i'm fairly sure my portrayal of Suns is pretty far away from the typical fandom Suns portrayal! there is no 100% right way to characterize characters that appear basically only as a text a few times. make of them what you will, what makes you happy, see if the canon text sounds like smth that would come out of That mouth and you are good to go

something something the villain of the season (the one about how fear can give way to extremism if you're not careful and how easy it is for many, many people to become radicalized by one person's radical hate and how genocide is a bad thing actually regardless of whether individuals of the targeted group have themselves done terrible things) being a black woman who survived an incident of indiscriminate mass murder is perhaps. not the best idea considering the themes involved

overall ot2's spanish translation seems a lot better than 1 but for the lvoe of god. they have like everyone use vosotros. im dying here

[ranvwoop]

also I forget some people on the internet aren't nice. never make me have to read label discourse again

[askshivanulegacy]

Yeah, exactly.

Totally agree that "content" and "consumption" are rather soulless ways of referring to the experience of art.

But you also knew exactly what they meant by it, which is the whole point of words. Suggest better ones to concisely distinguish "consumption" from actively creating or doing things.

The reblog is right in that it's a meaningful distinction. If you want it to be poetic then make it poetic. Otherwise, what does it matter what words are used? The association of "content creation" with something impersonal or culturally vacant only exists for you because YOU made that association.

is the interaction with art and the culture of expression considered consuming content. is reading poetry or going to an art museum considered consuming content. is listening to music considered consuming content. if watching sports is consuming content does going to a game constitute content consumption? is the implication of this poll that an accusatory finger is being pointed at you, the media consumer, suggesting that you need to interact with something other than art? how did watching a film devolve into “consuming” “content” rather than an honest interaction between a storyteller and a fellow human being? is reading a book the same type of hobby as watching tiktok? what is the purpose of dividing the ways we interact with the world into categories like this?

[snekdood]

ill say for me, as a guy, even tho it might be a bit different since im trans, im being repelled by the left bc a lot of them are assholes.

[thewillowtreess]

Why must it be sooooooo difficult to find names that mean bad things??

I just want to name my character after an unhealthy amount of greed and lust for knowledge with a woman that will do anything to acquire that knowledge and a stubbornness that knows no bounds.

Stop giving me cute fun names that mean “Strong-willed and charismatic!” I DONT WANT THAT PLEEEAAASSEEE

GIVE ME A NAME THAT NO ONE WOULD NAME THEIR CHILD IF THEY ACTUALLY KNEW THE MEANING BUT ATER GETTING TO KNOW THEM THEY TOTALLY WOULD CALL THEM THAT AHSBSIABSUSKSN

te body image bodyshaming fatphobia idk

lol @ that feeling when your mom is on a call with your sister, who is very skinny but (understandably! i am not criticizing her for this!) has lots of body image issues and was venting about having gained some weight back after the wedding and your mom goes “well it’s not like you’re FAT” and completely destroys any semblance of a good mood you were in bc you ARE her fat daughter.

honestly what’s wild is that i know my mom well enough to know that she wasn’t making a veiled comment, she wasn’t being passive aggressive toward me when she said it, she was genuinely not thinking about me at all. and somehow that’s almost worse. like. hello?
