#its just the remains of an animal

[butch-bakugo]

Honestly, sanitizing the origins of meat, leather and fur and bone to something just stated and never shown, is why white americans who dont hunt look down on indigenous communities irl.

The average white middle class american who dosent hunt game and eat it has no idea what gose into to making their natural products from the steak on the table to the yarn they knit with. They have no connection to the food they eat and products they use and thats why it has no value to them. They've never seen people kill, clean, cook and eat a cow all at once so when they watch an African tribe do it in a documentary, they are disgusted and horrified. When they natives in a docuseries kill and eat a seal then wear its fur for warmth and survival, they are upset. They were never taught or ever experienced a native way of living. Living close to the land, thanking the great spirit for another meal because there is no grocery store, what they catch is what they eat.

Americans are conditioned to feel sorry for any animal death and cry when they do instead of realizing this is the natural cycle of life. Of course the blood and gore of a dead deer is gross to you but only because you were never shown the reality of your food. Horror movies and exofascists want you to be disguested by any gore so seeing a dead bloody animal is 'horrific'. Of course this isnt an excuse for those who needlessly harm animals, thats fucked up, but a hunter and the act of hunting game isnt gross. Its survival and many people's lived realities. We, as a society, have got to stop fearing blood and need to desensitizating ourselves to meat and hide.

Because it fuels racism and ecofascism. It fuels racism when the only black people you see are on tv with a white commentator telling you about this "savage and uncivilized tribe in the Sahara who sacrifice cows and goats to this god "who they'll mispronounce or peta blaming the extinction of seals on inuk people that hunt them and use them to survive on their tribal lands. It makes hurting the african american people and indigenous people around you much easier when the only place you see them is in a bad light on the tv screen. It gives you a bias when you only see natives cutting open a dear with slasher music behind it. Not only that, but it makes good natural survival techniques that could save you one day look uncivilized and grotesque. It makes you see factory farming as more humane when the only difference is the amount of animals killed and the amount of bones and "useless" cuts of meat wasted. The amount of people i know who eat dry as shit well done steaks because they cant handle the thought of red meat or still juicy aka bloody meat in their mouths is ridiculous. My medium rare steak is the same as your well done one, the only difference is the time used to cook it. The blood is still there, its just less concentrated. Thats the reality of eating meat.

So just remember that killing and eating animals may be your ancestry but its many people's reality and its not uncivilized or gross, its day to day. Its natural and when done correctly, beautiful. Your an omnivore and meat is a necessity to a natural diet. Embrace it. Nature gave you that rabbit so you could live and its life lengthens yours. Thank the rabbit for its meat and stop anthropomorphizing your food. The rabbit cant talk to you or cryd cause either you would of gotten it and killed it humanely or a coyote would have gotten it and ripped it to shreds. Its do or die out there and passisim wont keep you alive.

ok im just curious cuz idk how these things work….. i know h*zbin was bought by A24 and they own the rights, but what about amazon? do they own it in any regard?

mostly i just think it would be hilarious to make a h*zbin fanwork and at the end be like “no copyright infringement intended, h*zbin h*tel and all its characters belong to jeff bezos” 🤣

maybe if vash and nai combined the singular trauma-riddled braincell they each have left and met somewhere in the middle between "religious cult working towards the genocide of humanity" and "absolute submission to our oppressors and the colonisers of our people's land" we would've gotten somewhere

LUFFY!!!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN CONVERTED!!!! LUFFY BELIEVER FULL TIME!!!!! LET US WORSHIP THE SUN!!!!

i wonder if free! fans that watched the series in dub and free! fans that watched the series in sub perceive the characters differently. like, i originally watched it in sub (because i really enjoy hearing the way japanese seiyuu voice their characters and understanding how formal vs informal vs casual japanese is used in different contexts and what that tells you about what the relationships between each character are like + personally i think consuming content in its original form is more satisfying) but then i watched a bunch of amvs where creators used clips from the english dubbed versions and it made me curious so i watched free! in english dub after..

and i feel like.. the characters in japanese have a different vibe from the characters in english. sometimes i'd even read a fanfic and can kinda guess whether the author watched it in sub or dub based on how they portray the character (and sometimes also the format their names are written in). sub rinharu vs dub rinharu give me very different vibes. is it just me? does anyone else feel this way?

...also small somewhat unrelated note but i always get really disoriented when i see japanese names written in the <given name> <surname> format instead of the way its originally written (but maybe that's cause i'm asian and i'm pretty used to seeing names in <surname> <given name> format)

huh. i find this interesting

On the rare occasions when we talk about the spectre of veganism you can probably physically tell the amount of psychic damage that we take from seeing people throw out any part of a carcass.

TOH FINALE SPOILERS

I think people acting like the bit of ‘some people are just bad and irredeemable!’ in Owl House is such a BOLD NEW TAKE need to watch more shows, or read more books or watch more movies. There’s more out there than She-Ra or Amphibia or Steven Universe, I promise...

I’m not even saying this take was wrong per-say in the finale, I just hoped for much more nuance and intrigue than I got.
