You know when this all started coming to light, I fully expected that leftists would try to downplay the horrific violence by acknowledging that it was "bad and our hearts go out to the victims and their families, but......" or by making a sharp distinction between civilians and soldiers (or even like, minors and adults), but the thing that's fucked me up is that nope! We sailed right past any attempt to even pretend at human decency and cut straight to "they deserved it."
Even the kids?? Yep, even the kids.
Like Jesus H. Christ y'all.
I'm used to people feeling like they need to at least gesture vaguely in the direction of giving a shit about Jewish lives and not justifying actual terror tactics and war crimes on civilians (you'd think for consistency's sake they might care about looking like they care for the credibility but..) even if we both know they really don't actually care about antisemitism in a meaningful way. We both know that they won't be there when it actually counts, and they sure as fuck aren't going to interrogate their own personal or group's antisemitism. But usually there's a fig leaf. There's at least a baseline assumption that they should care about antisemitism and Jewish people staying alive, even if they don't actually, so they'll say the minimum amount of correct sounding words and then quickly skedaddle onto whatever it is they actually care about.
And like, is that good? No, it's not. It's not good enough. I'm sick and fucking tired of people doing juuuuuust enough to pretend to care without ever addressing the real underlying issues.
But this? This totally floored me. This drops that baseline assumption that antisemitism and murdered Jews is a bad thing entirely and blatantly sides with literal actual terrorists committing unspeakable horrors while holding it up as "liberation."
And what's worse? Most of those were the further out fringe types (although there were a horrifying amount more than I expected) right? Most everyone else wasn't spouting off about how happy they were that vive la révolucion, right? You know what was really deafening?
The silence from everyone else.
Literally everyone except for maybe one or two gentiles I remember seeing kept their mouths shut. Everyone else? Not a goddamn word about how fucked up it was that people were crowing over our people's fresh corpses. The bodies hadn't even cooled yet and we had jackasses on here publicly celebrating with memes and gore videos, and not a word from 99.9% of you.
The people who did speak up? You have no idea how much it means, and I'm grateful. Truly.
Everyone else who was too gutless, spineless, or oblivious to realize how critical a moment this was for support and/or was more interested in protecting your image or whatever?
Let's just say: duly noted.
I may continue to work alongside you (what choice do I have?) but the trust is gone.
We're clearly on our own, with rare exception.
(This is a vent post I will not be adding any caveats to it and I will be blocking anyone who tries to be an asshole. I will lock reblogs if there's any discourse. Our lives are not up for debate you sick fucks.)

Me: I joke about writing the same McCoy centric story over and over again in different ways
Me: and like. I love doing it and imma keep doing it because it makes me happy.
Me: but also. I do sometimes wonder if it's like. A little Much.
Me: like maybe I should branch out or something
Me: [reads another fundamental and extremely insulting misread of McCoy's character by someone who is clearly making a Choice to cast McCoy as the villain, because they have to get him out of the way of spirk, because they're too???? idk immature??? to realize that even when you're in a relationship with one person, other ppl can and SHOULD still be important to you]
Me: lmao I hope I AM too much actually!!!! I hope it is 100% obnoxious how much I love that doctor!!!!! Time to write more versions of the same story of McCoy being forced to realize that he is loved and cared for!!!!!!
Me: I KNOW MY NICHE AND IMMA DIE IN THAT NICHE, THANKS

sometimes i just think abt how people have no media literacy and i have to think abt like. how did this happen to you. like i don’t think i’m the ultimate smarty pants who immediately knows everything about something i watch or read but i like to think i at least come away from it knowing the general theme of the media?? like i’m thinking SPECIFICALLY abt the SAIKI K. FANDOM. ON TIKTOK. because HOOWWWWWW did you watch this whole show. and then when you finish it you still think saiki HATES HIS FRIENDS????? THE ENTIRE POINT OF RHE SHOW IS THAT HE DOESNT!!! YOU GOT TRICKED BY THE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR HOW ARE YOU GONNA LET THIS STUPID LITTLE MAN TRICK YOU HE ADORES HIS FRIENDS!!!!! WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN!!!!
this is ESPECIALLY targeted at teruhashi haters and ppl who think saiki still hates her. he does not. please watch season 2 again. he outright admits he thinks she is a good person and he clearly likes her as a person the thing he dislikes is the attention she brings bc everybody loves her!! they’re literally bffs shut up!!!

It's always "Believe all victims" until it's your favorite music artist...
Caring more about someone who doesn't know you exist rather than the victim is insane. "But I love Melanie so much! She's my comfort person!” shut up. If she wasn't a celebrity you'd be defending the victim, I just know it.
"She should have taken it to court!" You know how many abuse victims don't take their case to court because of emotional trauma?
Besides, Melanie has money and that makes it difficult. Timothy was already harassed for speaking out. A court case would add to it.
The "proof" that Timothy admitted to lying is all edited by chronically online fans that can't handle the truth and want to make up lies.
"She's doing this because Melanie is popular right now." She said in her video that talking about it in 2017 ruined her life. If she was lying, she wouldn't have talked about it again.
And with Melanie getting popular, it’s easier for people to see.
Oh and also Melanie said “she didn’t say no” which is what rapists sometimes say to gaslight the victim. Just because she didn’t say “no” doesn’t mean there was consent or there wasn’t coercion involved.
I support Timothy 1000%
