No but I do often object to the narrative framing/cultural expectation that it’s the responsibility of victims to suffer through ‘fixing’ their abusers & forgive them, or that enslavers, rapists, fascists, or people who commit genocide are all a-okay as long as they’re hot, have a single moment of compassion, or they say ‘whoops my bad’-or that a redemption is as simple as ‘well there’s a bigger bad guy so my evil stuff was fine’

"redemption arcs are toxic, you shouldn't try to fix someone!"

actually it is so important to me that being in community and experiencing human connection can save people. thanks

Anthy is such a good example of "dark skinned character who is also extremely complex and compelling and well written" and this was in the 90s so like. no one today has any excuse for not doing this also

that moment when you find out this isn't a "normal media attracts creepy fandom" type of situation and that the original media does, in fact, have some implications of the exact same brand of questionable as the fans

Me wanting to read the locked tomb books cuz certain things about them do seem interesting to me vs never ever EVER wanting to read them out of sheer spite because of how fucking obnoxious and pretentious literally every single post I have ever seen about them on tumblr.com is and if they are even remotely anything like the way 90% of ppl talk about them I do not think I will like them and I’ll just be pissed off

you know there's a real missed opportunity of not making versions of like the real housewives franchise in comics. you look me in the eyes and you goddamned tell me that the real housewives of gotham or central city doesn't fucking SMACK in the dc universe and give atlanta and rhony a run for the crown

Holy fuck, all of your takes about homosexuality are DOGSHIT today, kiddos. Has “queer” in-fighting fully circled back around to become pure homophobia? It’s more likely than you think!

actually white westerners talk all the time about how there are too many ‘bullies’ in their imagined, but still largely liberal, ‘social justice community’.

consider. the ‘leftists’ being pests in your computer programs & making callout posts about twitch streamers are no more working towards total liberation than your average young republican. their inefficacy often means that their thoughts and actions are simply not worth lengthy discussion, and as it turns out, there are ‘bullies’ and unwelcome behavior within every political tendency.

but good news, those truly working towards liberation (work that involves securing food, water, shelter, medicine, and educational materials in their own communities) can often be found in more formal socialist organizations, (including groups they create themselves, with the help of friends, peers, and neighbors). ideally, within these groups, when genuine bullying/or unwanted behavior occurs, empowered members working towards a common, well-defined goal can choose the best course of action to directly address the problem. if the issue is irreconcilable, separate groups are often formed, and the work continues.

tldr; the online ‘leftist’ bullies do not seek to build the same future as you, and even where they do, their ineffectiveness proves their own irrelevance. so, let’s not waste time on nebulous leftist meta-analysis. get the people you want to work with organized, and start building the world you want to see.
