Wait, Donald Duck's 90th birthday is coming up and there's nothing related to Donald Duck Week?! This is embarrassing for me! One of the most important and best characters in the world not to get his own attention?!
Nothing, I'll ask someone or I'll do it myself. It seems that I am one of the few who thinks about this most important anniversary!

thinking about todd and his resolve towardā¦ not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with whatās being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesnāt necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story āfrom camp in sixth gradeā, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesnāt voice it until they all have). heās not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, heās just lonely, and heās generally okay with that. he doesnāt have friends and thatās fine, he doesnāt participate in class and thatās fine, he doesnāt have a relationship with his family and thatās fineāhe could live without any real connection and heād have been, more or less, fine.
the thing about when he says āi can take care of myself just fine!ā is that he isnāt really wrong, you can infer that heās been doing it his entire life anyway, itās that ātaking care of yourselfā isnāt the same thing as really living or being happy. toddās an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but heās also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isnāt friendless because heās an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, heās friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neilās unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but arenāt really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)
thereās obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie heās all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. heās already accepted being the family disappointment, and heās already accepted heāll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesnāt like it, but heād have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but heād have managed. heād done it for that long already, anyhow.
#and like obviously itās BAD in the long run and his isolation IS only making his life worse butā¦ genuinely heād have been alright#all things considered#itās super interesting to me how itās neil who starts the domino effect of toddās life becoming Less Shit#both by beliving in him and putting faith in him that heās never seen before and refusing to let him hide away#but it isnāt a savior moment on neilās part#and i find it so odd when people frame it as one#todd is likeā¦ actively irritated at him in that scene š#neil is right that todd needs to get out of his shell and put himself out there and Believe in himself#but todd canāt accept it yet because he canāt see what neil sees in him yet and doesnāt believe it exists at all#and it frustrates him because unlike everyone else neil REFUSES to give up on him#and as far as todds concerned itāll be for nothing#as far as toddās concerned āneil isnāt a savior or a hero in that scene heās an annoyance#a necessary one in the grand scheme of things but an annoyance all the same#i think people forget that just because todd DOES want to break out of his shell (ādonāt you think you could be?ā / āno! iā¦ i donāt know!ā +#ācome on you heard keating donāt you want to *do* something about it?ā / ā*yes* butā¦ā) doesnāt mean he knows how or believes he actually CAN#todds autonomy can be taken away from him a lot (ironic) and he can be twisted into someone with no opinions or thoughts or whims +#outside of neil but that isnāt really the case#and a part of that blame lands on the movie because todd doesnāt get explored a lot but thereās still evidence of him being his own person#heās not a yesman and he tells neil when his ideas are stupid (keeping the audition from his father) or he just doesnāt personally agree +#(the entire ānoā scene) and he functions perfectly well when neil isnāt around and while they arenāt focuses +#there are short scenes where todds alone or scenes that start eith them apart that make it clear they arenāt attatched to each other +#in the way people can often write them to be (that is in the trenches if the other is missing)#this post and all these tags are my long winded way of saying FUCK the codependent anderperry thing some people subscribe to it makes me#mad#neilās goal is to help todd grow into himself and become his own person and find his identity more than anything#and todd doesnāt need neil to hold his hand to do literally anything and everything heās a normal guy with anxiety#come on guys#dps#dead poets society#todd anderson

Rwby really is the show people piss on the poor with but like visual animation edition my fuckin god
People who never watched the show beyond volume three but also somehow watched the first three volumes with their eyes and ears closed will never not kill me bc they inflate Jaune to be this evil awful screen time stealing character.
Heās part of the show. He had a purpose in the show. He has an arc in the show. You can hate him. You can dislike the writing choices. What you canāt do is use old arguments that do not hold up.
Jaune Arc is the realistic version of the bland male anime protagonist who becomes super cool and good at everything just by showing up. Jaune forged his papers. Jaune wanted to be the hero without having put in any of the work. He was years behind his classmates and guess what happened? He got multiple ass beatings. He failed. Because in real life you donāt just show up and suddenly become good. He has to work for it.
Pyrrha died because she entered a battle she couldnāt win. Jaune was upset by this because his partner and too late to act couldāve been love interest was much stronger than him but wasnāt stronger than Cinder. And Pyrrha knew. She couldāve escaped with him. But she didnāt. She died NOT to make Jaune sad, but because she felt that she had to fight. She was their choice for the maiden. She had to fight.
As for Penny. It was once again her choice. His power is literally to boost aura which helps speed up healing. Penny didnāt want him to. Penny chose to sacrifice herself and that fucking sucks but it wasnāt to make Jaune sad. She made her own choice. And MIND YOU she had asked Ruby to kill her FIRST. Jauneās inability to save people is not Emo Fuel itās the TRAGIC THEME OF HIS CHARACTER go listen to Quiet
Also the idea he has taken over the narrative is insane because if he had? PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND HIS CHARACTER. instead we have people who are using him as a Chad doll alpha freak getting lesbians OR heās still the guy who wouldnāt leave Weiss alone. Which ENDED AFTER DANCE DANCE INFILTRATION MIND YOU.
Anyway. As a fan of Jaune for who he actually is, which is the bland male protagonist trope pushed into a role he cannot fill because he had not yet put in the work, bad awful no literary processing power takes make me ill. The only thing worse or the no good faith idiotic takes about the main girls because at least with Jaune he was actually annoying at first. The Takes about the girls and especially Yang are hot flaming garbage based on A Single Line, Her Boobs, or their own projections onto her character
(Her literal trailer has her grabbing a manās balls and telling him to call her sir please tell me where the hyper feminine girly is. Is she in the room with us? Did she fall into the ever after? God damn)
#jaune arc#rwby#yeah letās put this in the tags see if anyone tells me to kms#if you hate rwby thatās fine#if you only saw volume 3 and nothing else your opinion is several years outdated#not liking what the show was back then does not mean the show is like that now#begging people to see their own asses like#I need to make my YouTube videos so more positive rwby is on that site but GOD DAMN some of yall are ANNOYING or just flat out Incorrect#I spent ten years not talking about a show I love bc of shit like this now Iām gonna be annoying to fuck it

Iām wondering how many former Harris supporters are going to start spewing racist or misogynistic rhetoric about her after they accept that trump won. Iāve already seen misinformation start to spread and Iām certain that itās only going to get worse.
#I saw someone say that she did nothing to separate herself from Biden#and like#no???????#she had similar stances#but like that was because sheās in the same party#she had the best stance on Gaza we could have gotten#definitely better than Biden#she was going to have a republican in her cabinet#which definitely showed a goal of bipartisanship that no one else was going for#And the only thing she wouldnāt have liked Biden for were things Kamala didnāt have#that video made me irrationally angry because it showed me that people are going to horrible about this result#I donāt think I can really explain the video and my reaction properly but I really hope I could get enough to explain my opinion#kamala harris#election 2024#us elections#donald trump#also there are so many people just blaming each other#can you guys just stop#Iām so tired and itās not going to do anything

Someday I will write 90s Amerus fic. That day isnāt now (biggest writing block rn), but someday. Many of the 90s fics in the English fandom are too incorrect in my opinion when it comes to historical contexts ā and I know why, but it is š grating
#russian and american/western perspectives are divided on the 90s#and my sources are russian bc duh theyre also the biggest losers in the 90s. so ofc I study them#i find western perspectives abt the 90s to be rly underwhelming#which. well. they didnt go thru the pains personally. so maybe#but for vanya it was downright traumatizing ptsd worthy#ptsd mine#many many thoughts abt this#such as: no vanya wasnt SAD per se abt ussr dissolving. he lit had a hand in this via Yeltsin#idk i hate it when vanya is only narrowed down to a communist and nothing else#gorbachev lit adopted democratic-ish measures nearing the fall of ussr#vanya was rather open to the whole idea bruh. he embraced independence as a federation#he wasnt happy kicking giggling abt it but he embraced the change. ussr also feel much less chaotically than the empire (revolution)#so he wasnt justā¦ some proud power hungry commie mourning lost power#didnt say that side is absent completely but it is more nuanced than that yknow#also RF prob thought things would stay the sameish power wise just that it is no longer commie (gross oversimplification just for this post)#but most ppl lack nuance in thinking š#kinda giving the vibe of just āussr/russia loser america winnerā#not even founded in reality#also Yeltsin was Americaās bitch but I can see this isnt a popular opinion in the other side#heyyy Vanya understood what Alfred was doing and was in a way compliant

how i looked at the new guy at my job last month while he kept asking for my opinion on what fragrance he should buy from a kiosk 50 ft away instead of helping me with sales and the only other person there was busy performing an eye exam so i couldn't leave to go on break and i had to do everything myself
#it was so annoying cuz he was gone for 45 mins and claimed to only be gone for 5#MF I WATCHED YOU STOP LYING#i wanted to go on my break before our assistant manager started the eye exam#but i couldn't leave if no one else was handling customers#and eye exams usually take an hour#so not only did i have to wait for the new guy to get back but i also had to wait for the eye exam to finish#which took nearly an hour and a half#keep in mind the new guy left without telling anyone so i had to text our manager who wasn't there what had happened#and the new guy was like why don't you care abt fragrances i need your opinion pls be serious#YOU BE SERIOUS IM HUNGRY AND EXHAUSTED AND I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING AROUND HERE#MEANWHILE YOURE HERE GETTING PAID $2/HR MORE THAN ME FOR DOING FUCKING NOTHING ALL DAY#he did quit a short while ago tho#vent post#btr#big time rush#kendall knight#kendall schmidt#kendall makes the pain go away

š Free the gays from weird heteronormative top/bottom discourse 2k24!!! š¤ (And by extension, the dom/sub associations that go with it!! Which are also a completely separate though sometimes overlapping concept!!!)
Write your violent angry murder blorbo getting railed!! Make that sweet shy angel baby a top! Make them both verse and throw the concept out altogether because itās inherently a bit silly to start with!! āØ And your personality in the rest of your life often has nothing to do with your bedroom preferences anyway! āØ
Or donāt! Do whatever you want because itās fanfiction! š„°āØ Write them with whatever dynamics or lack thereof that you wantāthatās the point! And no one can tell you what is and isnāt okay to write in your own fics!! š They're fictional characters, have fun!!!!!
Happy new year fellow fandom gays!!! Go wild!
#sincerely#a real life gay who has been repeatedly mislabeled#by people who will never be in the bedroom with me to find out anyway š#and who enjoys representing these kinds of internal dichotomies in my own writing#maybe my violent anger blorbo just wants someone to take care of HIM for once#maybe he wants nothing more than to be fragile and soft and never could be before now#maybe he wants someone to pin him down and fuck him silly and fuzz out his constantly over-vigilant brain#MAYBE HE JUST LIKES TAKING IT UP THE ASS#there are any number of wonderful and fun and awesome reasons#to explore unexpected dynamics in smut fics#and i encourage everyone who wants to to pursue those desires without shame!!#and without fear!!#maybe my sweet soft baby boy blorbo just wants to make his partner feel good and relax for once#maybe he loves so deeply that he can only express it through teeth and ropes#maybe he just finds the fantasy of control super sexy in a world where he otherwise has none#embrace your wildest most āoocļæ½ļæ½ smut dreams!!!!#because your fanfics are first and foremost for YOU#and don't let anyone else's opinions influence you otherwise š¤

twitter is entering their "rts > likes" phase now that likes are private after they spent years calling us ungrateful for being demotivated by ratios lmao
#man fuck yall just support artists you enjoy#dont attack people who dont rb/rt your art (hell they might even have it scheduled) but also dont constantly demand ''content'' from people#ESPECIALLY without telling them that you appreciate the effort they put in to show you cool things they made for free#you should've been rt'ing/rb'ing from the START š just show people you care!#im just waiting to scroll through post after post of ppl calling out ''entitled artists'' lmao#btw my opinion on the whole thing is painfully neutral if you couldnt tell#i dont think you should care that much about numbers and ppl take it wayyyyyy too far#throwback to that one guy who personally @ everyone who didnt reblog their art that was CRAZY. i would straight up report you KJFGHKG#i also understand and have personally experienced how much engagement can change your mood#a simple ''i love this!'' can make someone's day. it's not hard to understand why ppl like engagement#when they make post after post without so much as a little tag they dont care about sharing anymore#the fact that people call that ''entitlement'' is also crazy#i have a lot of drawings i havent posted or just left nonrebloggable bc it really doesnt make a difference lmao#the only ones i leave rebloggable are the ones that i Know will do well and get attention. like the little pig redraw#if it's cute or funny it gets positive attention. anything else is shit on here lmao#it's just not as fun to share. it either leads to no engagement or negative engagement#would rather have nothing than something rude so whatever#some ppl say it's always been like this but no it absolutely was not always like this#idk what exactly caused the change. probably a lot of factors#could even just be the fandoms i hang around in! but considering i've seen the same sentiment from a bunch of ppl i doubt it's that#the best solution to no engagement is to just make friends and have fun#but 90% of the internet is hostile and negative and rude for no fucking reason#when i unfollowed someone on my old public twitter and they @ me over it. damn i dont know why but NOW i know why š#this post has gone way off course im just ranting at this point. i havent talked in a while hi how have you guys been#work was a lot yesterday and today is too slow (im not at work im just going crazy in my house)#(and i cant leave my house bc there's construction blocking the road someone save me)#chat

To me personally malistaire is the funniest and most pathetic villain wizard101 has ever had AND I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!!! Between doomed children who have been manipulated, groomed, and isolated into becoming products of their environments, someone scorned who has been punished unfairly by having your biological heart torn out your chest and turning your children and all of reality against you to satiate their own ego, a nonhuman entity so powerful and so clueless they unintentionally threaten the lives of everyone around them, Malistaire FELL DOWN BRO. Like yeah you're bitchless now. You and me both. Get in line. Everyone in this room is bitchless. We are ALL living that āØš
š¾ššŗ Single Lifeā¢. You are a middle-aged man. Cope
#this post is lighthearted btw JELAJWODJTU i aint actually mad#but like...... malistaire as a villain is kinda mid though im sorry. IM SORRY ill take the L opinion if i have to#its one thing if he lost his wife to unfair systematic negligence or thru someone else's doings or smth but. no she just got sick bro š#HWMSNFLEKSDIDOA EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WILL GIVW A BAD OPINION AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM. i cant be right ALL the time /j#like if i dont focus on malistaire's motives and just his ACTIONS he seems super metal#but then he does ALLLLL of that heinous shit because his wife died. like thats absolutely very sad but damn get a grip#(fandom starts breaking in my windows and drags me out into the street) IM SORRY IM SORRY LOOK ITS JUST NOT MY CUP OF TEA#ive never been invested in those Mr. Freeze types of villains where a person they love dies due to normal circumstances-#and they go fucking BERSERK. they LOSE IT. they go like āwell okay fuck the entire world i guess nothing mattersā and then kill people#LIKE IF IT'S DONE IN A CERTAIN WAY I CAN BE INVESTED but more often than not to me? its just kind of funny#like āokay damn there was only ONE person keeping you from being a national criminal? okayā#and you know what? thats a mood actually. thats a mood#without my cat i probanly would have become the president by now#for some reason its a little diff for me if its like a child you lost and idk why#like if malistaire lost a kid instead of his wife id probably be more inclined to feel bad and thats terribly fucked up JSLSJSJSJ#you know what its also bias because in some shape or form i relate to all the other villains. morganthe and duncan especially#whereas in malitsaire's case i have never been married. which i mean doesnt stop me from tryna be more synpathetic i guess but im just not#ONCE AGAIN FEEL VERY BAD FOR HIM AND SULVIA. like losing someone to sickness or any reason really is a serious thing#but in terms of a fictional setting with fictional characters where one of them decides to commit genocide over it? š§ like okay boo u do u#i will gladly give up my mantle for the āmost reasonable opinionsā guy in the fandom foe this one. i deserve it#wizard101#w101#wiz101#text posts#malistaire drake

coming out as a passive jopper hater bc the insane level of capitalist pandering they did with s3 (with ERICA who is like. one of the worst, stereotyped portrayals of a black girl ive ever seen, bless her heart) was truly crazy. combine that with the copaganda and the general attitude of hopper in s3 which was played off as 'awkward loser guy doesnt know what to do with Feelings more at 8' was a bit .... Eh :/ to me. because it is so obviously a fictional character and show but like. disliking hopper/jopper bc of the ideals st is perpetuating and the fact that they arent compatible at All in s3 (to me, atleast) is valid. some ppl might just think that jopper is unhealthy and/or 'overrated'. because they do sort of pay a disproportionate amount of attention to jopper, compared to the other canon romantic ships (afaik, bc of the screen time counter) and that can be Weird, esp with the... how should i say this? balancer/savior role hopper takes in the relationship (we constantly see him placating joyce, sometimes even being slightly patronizing, and also they place a lot of importance on him saving joyce from a lot of stuff, which is cool and sick if it wasnt for the fact that it directly correlates with him being a cop, yk). and the general power imbalance bc he's a Cop and abuses his position of power constantly, and that is exactly Why anything that joyce does is seen as a #insane girlboss category 5 woman moment because she simply has the short stick in the power race and when she does manage to make an impact DESPITE her economic/social/'general uselessness in say in Major decision-making when it comes to authorities' shortcomings it is seen as an amazing win. hopper on his own is extremely fleshed out as well, because we get to see his arc play out with his relationships with his daughter and ex-wife and el and re-learning how to be a parent and how to not let love allude him, and that is lovely! it's so great to see the adults in the show being focused on! but joyce is absolutely disregarded and underdeveloped as a character of her own right outside of her relationships with hopper or her kids. we see that she is determined and a force to be reckoned with and that she cares very deeply for the people she loves and would go to insane lengths for them but all that doesn't Mean anything, because we never see a backstory for her. we never figure out who she is without her family or hopper, or what her motives and aspirations and emotional shortcomings and stumbles and mistakes are. for a character to be fully fleshed out, they need to be an interesting, refreshing and palatable character On Their Own without their relationships with other characters, and we just don't see that with joyce. like u have Thee winona ryder on ur show, and u forsake developing her character in favor of developing hopper's character with /not the best taste/ and causing her to be a blank slate of a mother, lover, woman and friend, but not a PERSON. all she's been reduced to is a Mother and Hopper's Girlfriend, and honestly, that's the worst decision they could've made in relation to her and her relationship with hopper.
anyway, all this to say; these are my thoughts on the matter, but i'm definitely not hating on people who enjoy jopper passively and DEFINITELY not any by/ler (the most predominant fandom im part of in the parent fandom of st) who enjoys them as a ship with their own dynamic separate from canon. because the by/ler fandom is NOT a monolith and nobody is obligated to agree with me or change their opinion if it doesn't align with mine or be forced to look at my opinion and feel bad for shipping anything. im not going to act Holier Than Thou for expressing my opinion and u should definitely continue shipping jopper if it makes u happy! as long everybody recognizes the copaganda and capitalist mindset grind propaganda shit in st (which is Pretty Obvious) and respects that while shipping what they want, i have no problem with it. all that is to say; peace and fucking love. can we (the by/ler fandom) stop fighting abt jopper we all have our own opinions this is bc we are Not a hivemind or a monolith and not obligated to have the same opinions relating to all aspects of st just because we happen to ship one thing. i am a hater and a lover
#anti jopper#<- i dont want the shippers to see a Big Ass Crit Post of their ship its not fair to them they ain't disturbing us. so stfu and let me be.#everyone who's ever talked to me outside of tumblr knows i have a strict no discourse no outright hating policy on this blog bc i wanna#remain a positive space in the st fandom. and this is the one and only time i'll be posting abt smth i dont like.#i am a MASSIVE hater abt st and other things as well. i am SUCH a petty bitch. but i want this blog to stay a sunshine rainbows place!#bc discourse is generally upsetting for everyone involved and the One Time i actually went hatergirl on here i got several death threats.#so respect that i will Not be speaking on this or anything else more ty bc ive had anons try to ask me for my Big Bad Opinions before and#like. no. no honey im not going to be controversial on main can we all just like our silly ship rb silly fanworks make silly fanworks .#anyway i do feel pretty passionate abt this so im making this a post but like. NOTHING ELSE. dont send me asks trying to ask for my opinion#unless i specifically ask for them. ok thx :) if u've read till here ur a real one and ily !#stranger things (sara's version)

āThere is no fanfic on Stephs treatment I have checkedā thatās like the whole point.
#Iām not saying ur wrong bc itās not canon#Iām saying ur wrong bc ur perpetuating the misogyny that got u there in the first place#and yeah imma take it there it IS that deep to me sorry#like this isnāt like a diff in opinion on an arc or smth#this is quite literally the bigotry that fandoms supposed to be an escape from manifesting itself again with a rainbow flag over it itās so#like first of all not that serious but concerning to me is getting into smth without knowing the source material#u donāt need to know the exact timeline of events and which specific Batmobile Bruce had in every era duh#thatād be hypocritical to say I read character to character screw the timeline lmao#but itās like. ur telling me u adore Dick Grayson and have never picked up NTT?#u wanna analyze the queer coding in Timās character but youāve never read his og robin run?#u wanna talk about Damianās character growth but youāve only read Batman and Robin 2020s?#u ADORRRRE steph and cass and you havenāt even read batgirls#and thatās like nonissues#my issues are u wanna discuss how Barbara is actually so cold and cruel to dick for how she handled Catalina and youāve never read birds of#prey and actually dick never cheated so (this isnāt me being hypocritical if youāve seen that post I just lowk changed my mind)#or if he did it was justified or whatever#you wanna talk about how Jason and Roy are soulmates and you canāt tell me a single thing besides heās an archer a father and an addict#itās like ur putting shit out there about these characters and their relationships and you donāt know them#and more people who donāt know them see ur shit and do the same thing#and thatās mid level issue#the BIG issue is that yāall have not unpacked ur racism misogyny or classism enough to do this and then turn around and say ur fixing dc or#whatever. u have not done enough work to speak on Jason or Damian and say they deserve better whilst u water down their anger into smth#palatable and sweet on ur white faves. u donāt get to complain about how thereās not enough about steph and all u do is spread more made up#shit to infantilize tim. and Iām not saying Iāll never read a tim centric fic thatās ooc and stupid and have fun#I do that and I donāt talk about it bc that shit should not be the main writing you find when you look for BATMAN lmao#and even then they HIGHEST problem is that even when people make more content centering the woc poc and yes even WW it still doesnāt get any#traction bc yāall havenāt unpacked as much of ur racism and misogyny as u think u have#making hcs about tim being a Barbie and Jason being a feminist and dick painting his nails is not progressive when Steph and cass are#cardboard cutouts or the vehicles through which the white men discover feminity is ok actually and nothing else#and then Duke and Damian are the token straights or allies. like yāall are so sick lmao

Talking a little bit about 'boycotting Eurovision' under Keep Reading, feel free to scroll down if is not what you want to see.
The most used argument on the matter of banning Israel from Eurovision is the fact that Russia got banned from Eurovision, which is the worst argument anyone could bring.
Kindly reminder that Russia didn't get banned because of the war with Ukraine. Russia got banned because many countries has threatened to withdraw from the competition. Sadly, that's a big difference.
Yes, the countries has threatened to withdraw because they support Ukraine and see Russia as the party in the wrong. That was their reason. EBU's reason for banning Russian was because those countries threatened to withdraw, not because the war was bad and Russia must be stopped.
This situation isn't the same. Why? Because many countries support Israel in their genocide. Because this time around Palestine is the party in the wrong. Because we're taught to believe that Israel isn't in the wrong here.**
Boycotting Eurovision won't work. There are people out there who don't know the truth and want to watch Eurovision. There are people out there who don't care and will watch Eurovision regardless of the situation. There are people out there who, despite having the facts, still don't see Israel as the bad guy in this situation and will watch Eurovision. Sadly, boycotting won't work unless everyone does it.
The only way Israel will get banned, in my opinion, is by going through the same thing as Russia. If other countries threatened to withdraw- and not any countries, but the ones investing the most in Eurovision, then yes. That will get Israel banned.
Otherwise? The only thing we do is hurt artists that don't deserve it. Artists who use Eurovision as a way to get more exposure and experience. Artists who deserve to be heard.
Don't vote for Israel's entry. Don't stream their song either. Heck, turn off the TV when is their turn to perform.
**This whole situation (the war, not Eurovision) isn't only black and white. Civilians die daily because of this, all of them from both sides. Innocent people who has no fault. Let's not forget that
#Honestly I'm tired of the whole 'Russia got banned Israel should be banned too' speech because is truly bullshit#It has nothing to do with the war per se. It was because countries were unwilling to participate in support for Ukraine#If the whole situation was truly political then other countries wouldn't be able to participate either#Is it fair? No. But that's the situation#Alas Eurovision exist so we forget about the bad in the world for a bit and be more united. Have some fun. Stuff like that#I'm going to get so much hate over this omg. But this is just my opinion/point of view on the matter#Sadly this whole situation isn't even about helping the innocent put in danger by this situation. Is about hate like everything else#My wording is so shitty but people on the internet don't understand shit unless I call 'X bad Y good' so we go with that#eurovision 2024#Also another reminder that THE WHOLE AUDIENCE chanted 'Cha Cha Cha' during eurovision 2023 and were rotting for Finland to win just to lose#Many entries got fucked up by the jury votes too. Our opinion doesn't matter as much as some of you might think lol#Jury votes GOT CHANGED during another eurovision under shitty reasons (I can't remember which year but there were 5 or 6 countries who got#their votes changed). Eurovision has never been fair#We always get annoyed over it and trash talk it then watch it the next year#Also this is not the same as boycotting brands and shit like that who support Israel. No money go from Eurovision to Israel.#This competition as far as I am aware (please correct me if I'm wrong) doesn't support Israel in any way#Be it financially or by donating arms or any other way#Their only fault is for allowing Israel to participate. That's all#Weapons* don't ask me why I said arms instead sorry#i'm tired lol#Fair warning I won't answer any replies to this post

honestly if your approach to something like an ethics, morality, or justice system begins with the phrase "it's simple," you have already failed. individual cases might be (big might) but systems are complex and difficult, because no one is omnescient (aka there is no good way to be positive you have the full truth) and there are many philosophies on how to deal with wrongdoing, with different pros and cons.
to say "it's simple" betrays that you have never put more than an ounce of thought into the repurcussions of your beliefs
#yelling at the void#just thinking about that person who said they believed they could say who should die#i went to their blog to block them and theyd gotten an ask about it and responded 'it's simple'#before going into some gruesome example i didnt bother to read#things are only simple if you look for the most black and white cases possible#and those dont reflect reality#nothing is that black and white#if only because you always have the question of 'what if i'm wrong and someone else did this?'#and in my opinion 'how will my response ensure this doesnt happen again?'#which most violent responses fail horribly#sorry guys we've got a couple centuries of proof that punitive justice doesnt discourage crime it makes criminals sneakier#i personally do not care for that

so much of the time I come on tumblr and see absolute garbage political opinions, but the saving grace is that I only see them as the OP in a reblog chain of fact checking and takedowns š
#lita talks about herself#tbh this is prob because i unfollowed the couple of ppl who put garbage opinions directly on my dash#everyone else is fine lol#in any case most of these garbage opinions read to me like they're written by a barely 18yo who thinks they know everything#and can't possibly be wrong about anything#listen i was 18 once that's just the way you are at that age#but when you're in your 40s you will know that you knew nothing when you were 18#when you're 18 it's possibly you only lived through two and a half presidents and you were too little to remember one or two of them#you learned stuff in history class but that's not the same as living through it#(yes my tags are us-centric i know)#the point stands that at age 18 your book knowledge of government is fine but your practical knowledge / experience is pretty non-existent
