if you are posting about how people who are religious are uneducated, i genuinely hope you know that what you are saying is a talking point that x-tians use to defraud other beliefs of non-white races. like that is a legitimate reason they use to go on mission trips and colonize. and if you're gonna back up with "oh i was talking about christianity" no you fucking werent! otherwise you'd be specific! and newsflash, even with that flimsy argument, religion isnt the problem, its conservatism. thats what youre talking about.
#lost.txt#vent#like dont hide behind christians when youre talking about your dislike of religion#bc we KNOW its not religion youre talking about.#its a dogwhistle#btw poster in question has been weird about places like india and SWANA before

Anyone complaining about Mythal's design just like people complained about Mystra's design is a dog whistle.
Blocked. Blocked. And Blocked.
#dog whistle for misogynists#stay off my dash and stay out of my tags#you can make a valid argument that her design does not tell us much about her character#but most people complain about her as a gateway to complain about other things about her#because of her relation to S*las#its a dogwhistle#hence why they get blocked by me#perhaps people need to discuss why these mother goddess characters#keep being designed by men in the most generic way possible#probably as a reflection of how they see their own mothers#too much pizazz and they might feel they dont deserve her#they downplay her in an attempt to “properly” telegraph her role as mother goddess#but it fails#but just complaining that shes underwhelming and mocking her position as a goddess?#thats all i need to know that you dont respect women#and will look for excuses to demean her and woobify some male she was mean to for five seconds#datv spoilers#mythal

Why'd you delete the JK Rowling novel ask?
oh sorry! honestly In this specific case I could preemptively sense that people might, you know, hassle me over reading her stuff😅
#i feel like the 'read another book' sentiment#has sort of telephone game'd into it being taken as a dogwhistle to read her work in any context#oh but my god you don't even know. its really bad. i want to talk about it sometime#there's one bit that just is burned into my brain#where the characters discuss how humorous and weird they find it that another works in livestock reproduction#and start joking about fucking sheep#and it makes like no sense. its like aliens talking#unless you try to place yourself in the mind of a mold brain billionaire#and realize she thinks its funny because her only sense of humor is poor people = sheep fucker jokes#talking tag

One thing I find deeply disconcerting about Dream in regards to him saying the r-slur is how I don't think he fully understands. I don't think he understands why it's not okay to use that
Not even like in the calling 15 million people a slur derogatorily sense, because I feel like we talked about that and I'm generally satisfied Dream understands that for now.
I feel like when you say say a slur especially with a platform as large as he has, even if you come out later and you be like, Oh, I'm autistic, do you know who's like going to be made to feel uncomfortable that by that comment? It's going to be disabled people. You're going to be making disabled people feel uncomfortable. You're going to alienate them from your audience.
But you know who's not going to feel uncomfortable? Who might even celebrate you for "being so brave as to speak out against the woke fucking left?" It's going to be ableists. It's going to be the people who say the r-slur derogatorily towards people on the daily. When you alienate the people around you who are uncomfortable with the use of slurs, who do you think are going to be left after that? Ableism is such a prevalent issue in the gaming community. Like, I don't think he understands that saying that kind of stuff creates an echo chamber of alt right people in your audience. It invites alt right people into an audience of. primarily. Primarily. He has a huge audience of neurodivergent people. He really does. And it is ridiculously irresponsible and reckless to invite that kind of behavior into a predominantly neurodivergent and progressive fan base!!!
It makes me so angry to just like see him do. And then say, oh I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that because you know what if it's going to offend people I shouldn't have said it. It's not about you offending people, man. It's about the people you're hurting.
A lot of my gripes with Dream always seem to boil down to he is irresponsible he is with his platform, and this is absolutely no different. pos
#side tangent- don't really like the use of the word offend here I'm too used to seeing it used as a dogwhistle-#but it was prolly just bad wording on his part. Prolly an accident#Anyway this little essay is not super. Benifit of the doubt-y . but im annoyed so#dream situation#its so annoying???#i feel like ive lost all the professionalism at this point#posting this and taking a fucking WALK#I recorded my thoughts abt this last night and still have the video lmao#i was tempted to just post the video then i watched it back and was like wow... ppl arent kidding i do sound like a 13yr old kid#no wonder i got laughed out of job interviews lmao

Hey so if you haven't seen it already, the new "translation" is apparently just a rewrite of the original script. Except for Madarame's route and later parts of the game (SUPPOSEDLY) but I didn't play it so I can't verify
Evidence here
Anedoctal evidence for the JastBlue panel
I'll put some screenshots below from the thread if you don't have twitter.
From the team themselves:

Semi-related, there is anecdotal evidence that the "they/them" pronouns were approved by Nitro Chiral themselves during the panel below. A few people have said they heard it or read it from the JastBlue team (including me). I haven't went to find JastBlue talking about it but yeah, just extra clarification on it.

#slow damage#my real main issue with the og translation is just hasta la vista LMAO#the dogwhistle and rei's really stilted dialogue tipped me off as the translation being suspicious#also the team all being anonymous and one of them only played it a month ago?? what's the point!!#and the new rewritten one is so stilted eufhahhgh#i struggle making my translations less stilted but i think its hard when youre fitting en lyrics to music but thid is just lazy#and the rewrites were for narration parts which of course were gonna have more rewrites!!! its changing from third to first!!!#shouldnt the dialogue change too then? and with people coming out saying “ywah no this is the same script”

seeing someone's profile on twitter and getting this weird unshakable "this guy seems annoying" vibe but not blocking since that's not really a crime, only to learn months later they're actually a huge fucking proshipper/shotacon weirdo that proudly ships rick and morty is a really puzzling and angering feeling
#this is actually a big vague at some1 iykyk especially if youre in the scott pilgrim twitter areas#i couldve sworn they had a tumblr here but i just cant find it to block so im assuming they just deleted but idgaf i want them gone#idk if i wanna namedrop bc i always get worried thats fucked in the head or not#rant#also if its not fucking obvious i hate proshippers/comshippers/whatever else you weirdos dogwhistle eachother as please go away

Honestly I think that if your Take on Israel involves it being any Special Kind Of Evil it's likely based on some kind of antisemitic theory. The Israeli government is doing blatant crimes against humanity in front of everyone, but it's unfortunately not special. There are multiple genocides ongoing perpetuated by different countries and governments right now because humanity has been doing this since the start of recorded history.
Netanyahu is not a special kind of evil, Israel is not a special kind of evil, its actually an extremely typical kind of evil. Which doesn't mean it can be ignored, absolutely speak out against it and put your voice behind the Palestinian people. They'll need it now that the ceasefire has ended again. But trying to conspiracy theory out how actually the Zionists are running everything or trying to make the Israeli people out as being somehow more evil or more likely to lie than any other group of people? That's just antisemitism and its been rampant ever since people felt like they had an excuse to let loose.
#eri talks#i have not forgotten the absolute disgusting garbage people have spit out about Israeli civilians#that never would have been said about any other civilian population no matter how awful their government is#the 'rape and torture didn't happen but if they did it was a good thing and totally justified' has been off the charts#even though none of it is necessary to support Palestinians because you should be able to support human rights regardless#anyway. check yourself and what you're spreading even if you're Totally Sure that its not antisemitism#because it's an ancient prejudice ingrained in several cultures and people have been following those dogwhistles for months now

hey man I appreciate you letting me know and I did delete that post and reblogged a version that didn't have that person's comment on it because after looking at that person's blog I wasn't comfortable reblogging from them even tangentially, but as a general psa I am not double checking every single blog on every single post I reblog for questionable content. If I see a name I recognize or it shows up red on shinigami eyes or the post is related to the topic at hand, I'll scope things out, but it isn't reasonable to expect me to do that all the time for every post and for every conceivable topic, nor is it reasonable for me to expect you guys to let me know every time you recognize a blog that, as an example, supports throwing cans of beans at baby seals but made an unrelated comment on a post about cake.
#this kind of thing has its uses#for example ''hey you reblogged a dogwhistle on accident this is what that poster was actually trying to say''#but I'm assuming ''don't throw cans of beans at baby seals'' is the default opinion of someone who posts ''I like buttercream icing''#you know#like don't stress yourself out#blah blah something about moral ocd something about how posting is not activism#not mad at anon just like#putting this out there#this is something i'm trying to get better about myself#like I used to check every blog obsessively and then I realized that's an ocd symptom that I should probably try to redirect or mitigate

GRAAAAAAAH MISREPRESENTING DATA DOES NOTHING FOR ANYONE EXCEPT FEED TROLLS WHO ARE TRYIGN TO TAKE OYU IN BAD FAITH ANYWAY OH MY GD
#mild vent#jsut kinda tired of checking sources and seeing time and time again people misrepresent data thats Easily checkable to support their points#u dont need to make up statistics you are literally making things worse for everyone bc now the arguments will be over what the stats REALL#are instead of the core issue u were talking about [insert upsidedown smiley here]#its like across topics too. ive seen so many bold claims linked to sources that when i check them there is 0 mention of that in the documen#or any of the (linked) supporting materials if its an article#this also isnt just about one post or one person or one rb ive been on this for MONTHS at home#i thnk my wife may be sick of me coming up to her and going over and over “this data isnt real” oh mygd#just. if you see something with a crazy stat and there's a source link maybe check it before rebloggin git#honestly even if its not stats related cause the number of times i see ppl rbing posts where OP absolutely would Not agree with them ro wou#be outright violent/aggressive/bigoted/etc abt topics they supposedly ccare abt. . . . . . ..#anyway for that one tho reminder to block the tags of hate groups! yes you will soemtimes miss a post but more importantly u will learn the#dogwhistles sO fucking fast.#anyway. idc if this makes sense its a tag vent and no one can rb anyway and discourse with ur momma if u think im mean for this ig

enjoying alt rock while being a minority means finding an artist that makes really good songs, seeing theyre a white guy who has "christ is my king" in the artist bio on spotify, extensively googling and social media stalking to confirm that the guy isnt a white supremacist, finding out that his fiancee is a bisexual sex worker, and tentatively concluding for now that he's normal and chill
#DEEPLY harrowing experience seeing that phrase in the spotify bio sorry christians its not y'alls fault that a hate group#turned that into a dogwhistle and it sets my teeth on edge now

Some problems with Hidden Pictures I have yet to see a single person bring up
Mitzi is presented as this ✨️eccentric✨️ neighbor, but she's canonically a Fox News-watching racist that outright tells the protagonist to 'watch out for Mexicans.'
There's a twist that feels like a malicious caricature of what conservatives think parents who are supportive of their trans kids are like.
All in all, I think I know where the author of this book was on January 6th
#hidden pictures#it was good until i got to that part#there were some other subtle dogwhistles that rubbed me the wrong way#like how they showed the parents giving the kid sex ed and it was painted as a Bad Thing by the christian protag#im still going to finish it#i got this far#but i have a poor opinion of this book and its author now

fuck i think i legitimately saw someone with a n4zi shirt on my way home
#qrevo.txt#it looked like a typical punk shirt with a skull on the back and yadda yadda#but the more i looked at it the more i saw stuff#the skull had a helmet with the iron cross in its head; and it had “18”; “MC” and “88” written around it#i remember 18; 88 and the iron cross being used as dogwhistles; but idk abt the MC one#i couldn't see the whole shirt since i didn't want to keep staring. there could be more#but those were already too much to rule off as a coincidence#goddamnit i really really want to get far from here as soon as possible 💀💀💀💀
