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

I dont know where you people are finding or trusting (!!) places like Chuang or Lausan but come on.

1. pieces using terminology like authoritarianism or totalitarianism should at least give you some skepticism, if not in taking them seriously, then at least in having some understanding of how those terms are positioned geopolitics, eg, western imperialist motives in smearing their enemies who have the most power and ability and organization in fighting back.

2. theyre very purposefully unclear in their exact positions or affiliations. say, their funding for operations - especially when it's not just one guy and clearly they're not asking for viewer/follower support. they may (supposedly) seek collaboration with indigenous and anti-imperialist groups and then turn around and either insinuate or openly call china imperialist. unserious. and then have the gall to say they support a revolutionary global leftism

People should really not be using Star Wars as their revolutionary praxis and guide for their political philosophy.

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

pieces of media used to have communists in them

[despairhasitsown-calm]

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

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!
