The term "TMRA" used negatively/derogatorily in regards to trans men talking abt their oppression is wild to me. Being a trans men's rights activist is bad....why, exactly? Trans men literally lack fucking rights? HELLO?

#I know they're trying to compare it to the cis MRA movement but that makes no sense when trans men are an actively oppressed minority who #lack rights 😭#[oppressed group] right's activist 🤢🤢🤢#??? do u hear urself #never understood this #transandrophobia #🐈

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

#personal #delete later #no patrick. “black washing” is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together #seeing people in my reblogs talk about “reverse racism” and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy #say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices #in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony #redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation #(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite #if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc #if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same #if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same #while i agree that “black washing” can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level #a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you #i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics #and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with #if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter #i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures #(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years #i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing #classic bixels “i'm not talking about this chat. i'm not” (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

Y'all the amount of posts from "liberal" men on Reddit crying about how women are being too mean to men after the election is making me want to commit a war crime.

"Men are being radicalized by online misandry" I know man vs. bear tweets hurt your feelings but you will never be at risk of bleeding out from a miscarriage because doctors were too afraid of anti-abortion laws to save your life. You are not the victims here.

#I agree that Democrats need to appeal to men who feel disenfranchised #but that's by adopting pro-worker and pro-working/middle class policies #the pain men feel is due to the fact that we live in a dystopian late-stage capitalist hellhole #they're drawn to right wing movements because it tells them their pain is caused by minorities #scapegoating a minority group for social ills caused by capitalism is LITERALLY textbook fascism #I lost my train of thought but anyway fuck these people #misogyny #fuck reddit #politics #rant #2024 election

Hey! So I left the fandom in 2019 and only recently came back. I did all the catch-up research and was like "cool, looks like larry are still probably together". But it seems that's not the popular opinion these days on tumblr?? So I guess I'm wondering if I missed something pretty major that led to a lot of people thinking that way? Or maybe it was a bunch of small subtle things that I didn't pick up on in my readings? I thought who better to ask than one of the old timers (no offence lol)

You know how babies think that the ball disappears when they don’t see it anymore? That��s what I always assume it is.

#something something fandom massively splintered #post Harry going mega famous with fine line #and then the pandemic brought in a rush of new fans #who have iffy at best information #I know I have mutuals who don’t think they are together or don’t concern themselves with that #and to that I say I love that for you #I respect that for you #this is something we can disagree on and still be friends #it’s not like you’re saying large groups of minorities in the country I live in don’t deserve basic rights #1. it’s sag season so like 🤪#2. my dog is still dying and my country is dissolving into fascism so like 🤪

I think one of the reasons why Light’s death feels so much more satisfying in the manga than it does in the anime is because he genuinely has nobody.

In the anime, after Matsuda shoots him, he cries out for Misa and Takada who very obviously aren’t there (and nobody says anything), but Mikami, who is, despite everything, still devoted to him, literally takes his own life to distract everyone and give Light a chance to escape. He still dies in the end, but there was still someone there who was on his side.

In the manga, Light initially orders Mikami to help him, but, upon realising how pathetic Light is, he yells at him, telling him that he isn’t god, he is just scum. Light then cries out for Misa, but Near reminds him that she is not there and is currently staying at the Teito Hotel. He calls out for Takada, and again, Near reminds him that she’s dead (Near’s silence in the anime vs his reminders in the manga seem like a small difference, but I feel like they put a lot of emphasis on how no one is there to save him and it’s his own fault). He starts pleading for someone, anyone to help him. Finally, with no one else to rely on, he turns to Ryuk and begs him to help, but obviously Ryuk doesn’t care and writes Light’s name in his death note.

In that moment in the manga, he is truly alone. There is nobody who both can and wants to save him, and he dies in the warehouse, screaming about how he doesn’t want to die. He doesn’t get the opportunity to escape, he doesn’t get the flashback of his past self, and the tone doesn’t feel sad, like in the anime. It just... happens.

#i’m tired does this make sense #death note #light yagami #death note manga #death note anime #manga vs anime #also the epilogue chapter where a year later most of the world has just gone back to normal... (aside from that group of kira worshippers)#like. even his impact on the world fades so quickly. the crime rate goes right back up and kira supporters become a minority #anyways. yet another reason why the second “half” of the anime does not do the series justice i guess

So... quick update on the Eurovision situation

The EBU decided that Israel can compete despite their country being under an active Genocide investigation by the ICJ. Their delegation have gone on to antagonise other contestants by filming them for their social media without permission and refusing to remove it when asked, harass journalists who have questioned if their inclusion is appropriate, and their commentators have made horrendous comments about the Irish contestant... all without sanction.

Meanwhile the Dutch contestant got into an undisclosed 'incident' with a female member of the production crew and they've referred it to the police and flat out disqualified him from the contest with less than 12 hours notice...

Which seems like a tremendous act of double standards at an event that is already marred by serious controversy. Obviously the second is not acceptable, but very difficult to understand how the first somehow... is?

#eurovision #eurovision 2024 #I have had very mixed feelings with regard to the boycott for a very long time #And whilst I understand the sentiment #I'm still not sure it's the right course of action in terms of how the competition works and who profits from it #And I'm not saying his disqualification is unwarranted (it's impossible to gauge without the full incident details)#More that the other disqualification that they refuse to make is MORE warranted #I feel most sorry for the contestants amongst all of this #Most of whom are there because the global platform is absolutely unmatched in them being able to share their own personal story #And a lot of them come from a variety of queer and minority groups who do not get the chance at a global stage like this... ever #The issue is the EBU and their cowardice to handle this situation effectively #And that's because they've allowed their hands to be tied by their sponsor #It feels tragically obvious what's going to happen tonight #And it's not going to achieve the message I think a lot of people are idealistically thinking it will #It's going to serve as a signal of approval for them to use as ammunition for further attacks and be counter productive imho

House m.d. is better autistic representation than The Good Doctor could ever hope to be

#like sorry we already have an autistic doctor show…#not that it takes much to be better than the good doctor #but seriously house is autistic!!#and he’s not infantilized for it #other characters admire his intelligence but also call him out on his bullshit #he’s autistic and he’s a genius and he’s a NIGHTMARE of a person and i love him so bad #he is the ‘evil autism’ that one tiktok lady was talking about #just. more representation with flawed minority characters! they don’t have to be perfect to be loveable!!#and in fact they shouldn’t be perfect because that gives people an unrealistic expectation for members of that group #i’m rambling i’ve lost the plot. love this show a lot. anyway. mean autistic rights!#house md #gregory house #kat is typing

Of all the asoiaf opinions that make me react like ^^^ the biggest one has to be "valyrians were an ethnic minority fleeing destruction and westeros is bigoted against them"

#like ......#guess who else was a minority #the roman army in ancient britain #doesnt make them right!! or persecuted #also the greek ptolemaic dynasty in egypt and other greco-romans were also an upper class ethnic group that was in the minority #and also used incest to ensure the retention of power and status within a small handful of people #were they persecuted by the mean egyptians?

once you realize the extent to which the subjugation of children is normalized in our society you'll never stop seeing it

#bolo speaks #I could write about this at much greater length but I don't feel like it right now so the tl;dr is #children/minors are the only class of people which you can assert Don't Know What's Best for Them and #Need Other People to Guide (Control) Them #and receive no pushback for it in contemporary usamerican society.#sometimes I feel like children are the last group of people it's acceptable to say shouldn't have autonomy over their own lives #and the cultural blindness to it makes me crazyyyyy.#it crosses over with lots of other forms of oppression too #misogynists will unironically assert adult women are mentally comparable to children and that's why we need to be controlled by men #speaking from specific historical examples the philippines was cast as the u.s' ''brown little brother'' to justify colonialism under that #same idea of filipinos as a group being less informed and *childlike* and in need of white guidance (control).#I know similar justifications were used for usamerican slavery but I'm less well-read on that so. citation needed but you know what I mean.#and outright comparisons to children are of course used to deny disabled adults autonomy all the time.#and this isn't to say that ageism is one to one with any of these forms of oppression but that I don't think it's a coincidence that the #comparison to children is such a key justification in each of them.#controlling children is acceptable. children are embarrassing inept ignorant worthy of contempt #my home state is the nexus of a still-growing political movement advocating for parents having complete ownership of their children!#call me an anarchist but I don't think there's any ethical way for one person to have absolute authority over another no matter their age

Trans people deserve the right to be fucked up without it being equated with if we deserve to, like, live or exist. All people, in some way or another, will be fucked up in a particular way that you might not jibe with and that is not inherently bad

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #being fucked up is part of the human condition actually #and in some instances that CAN hurt people but that doesn't mean that it always does #and when somebody is fucked up in a way that is harmful to other people then you address the harm done #nowhere does that include debating if trans people as like a coalition deserve the right to life or wellness #embrace the things labeled as fucked up or die trying to combat humans' very nature...#...address when something is truly harmful without trying to use it as a gatcha on minority groups...#...(which if you do end up using the genuine harm as a Group Fuck Up then you are also being harmful in a fucked up way)#not all that glitters is gold just as not all that is fucked up is a sign you Aren't Human

Decided my proposal for a We Are Series ghostship is Beer and Kleun. They could make a very chill couple.

#they might seem boring as a concept but that is why i love the idea of them getting together #imagine with me:#we all agree beer deserves good things #through his his screentime kluen was shown to be a green flag but he had a crush on the wrong person to have a crush on #so beer and kluen meet again independent of the group similarly to the beer and peem interaction #beer makes a comment on kluen disappearing after the volunteer camp and kluen awkwardly says he joined to hit on peem and beer sympathizes #they eat together and talk about the volunteer camp further and beer comments on how jealous phum was of kluen #kluen is in disbelief phumpeem aren't together yet and beer laughs #they have a good time and exchange numbers so periodically in the show beer would be on his phone giving kluen live updates #the two resonate over having braincells and meet up for lunch more and more frequently as tan and phum are enraptured #eventually mick catches them together and jokes he feels like he is third-wheeling a date #beer and kluen both say it is not a date and mick makes a face before going back to his video games #mick is so absorbed in his video games he doesnt witness beer and kluen agree to try and go on an actual date right in front of him #cue we are series typical nonsense as the cast keeps catching beer and kluen on dates without realizing they are on a date #until beer shows up with kluen to a gathering and reintroduces him as his boyfriend #everyone is surprised they got together so quick and beer has to explain to them not every relationship is a bl #then beerkluen becomes everyones relationship counselors because they hold the sacred braincells #at some point phum asks beer how he feels about kluens former crush on peem and beer stresses it was a former crush and relatively minor #and phum realizes he was really shitty and unreasonable to kluen and apologizes and they become friends #just the ghostship of beerkluen #we are the series #we are series #beerkluen #fuck it ill make it a tag

completely agree with your head cannon rant about people not being right or wrong but i CANNOT stand ANY of the musical only fans😭 they IRK me

see, i feel that’s unfair. sure, there are annoying ones, but there are also really sweet musical only fans. for every one annoying fan i guarantee there’s five not annoying ones. there are really annoying book fans as well. it’s not fair to generalize one group based on a vocal minority of annoying fans. that leads to fandom toxicity and encourages people to leave the fandom. i’ll admit, some of them are annoying and i’ve blocked them, but it’s like that with every media. there are annoying book and movie fans too. not all musical fans are bad just as all book fans aren’t bad.

the point of that post was basically to say that headcanon does not equal canon and that what the cast says about ether characters (for the major characters at least, imo) is purely headcanon. thats just my opinion and you don’t have to agree with me but that’s basically what i was saying.

i dunno. i just block the blogs that piss me off and move on with my day. but i guarantee you there are many many many sweet musical fans. just as there are many many many sweet book fans. the loud minority doesn’t speak for everyone.

#the outsiders #i hate the superiority complexes #the musical isn’t better than the book and vice versa #no hate to you anon but i think it isn’t fair to marginalize a whole group based off those annoying people #like they do exist but they’re a vocal minority #the whole musical subfandom isn’t like that #anon #alaska’s asks #just cause they’re louder doesn’t make them right
