Not understanding Izzy or understanding why people might love him sounds like a skill issue tbh.

nice post you got there. mind if i get unreasonably mad about it and assume things about you and start arguments on your posts? i dont care im gonna do it anyway. also by 'nice' i mean evil. which you are btw

[sergle]

There's something about like. A certain genre of posts / Online Opinions about insecurity/depression/misery/complaints that are so unhelpful that they wrap right around to being straight up hilarious. and it's the ones that are more or less written to the tone of "Feeling bad? That's gross!" Like, just so you know, don't voice your insecurities/ have low self esteem, because that's offputting! You're gross and weird. Don't be insecure about that, though. That would be stupid if you felt insecure about people disliking you for being insecure. Not attractive. You should be thinking about being as attractive as possible. You shouldn't make comments about suicide, even if you're suicidal! Keep those thoughts entirely to yourself. Make sure nobody around you knows you're thinking about this. It would Make Them Uncomfortable. It's better to keep these thoughts in your head where they can fester. Don't post OR talk to friends with complaints about you feeling miserable or depressed. Tbh people who are sad/upset a lot? Kinda a red flag! You are probably miserable because you're a bad person and you've brought this on yourself. If you don't have friends, it's because you're awful to be around. Easy! Solved the problem for you. And no, there is no nuance to this, got it? So, make sure to feel bad about feeling bad, but don't feel bad about it, because, well, that's just gross. And annoying! You might've wanted your brain rotted thoughts to be Peer Reviewed, you might have just needed to vent- you might've been hoping for some comfort, to get things off your chest. Well, don't! Don't talk about thoughts or feelings that are negative with your friends, you'd be burdening them and that's only meant for THERAPY. #SponsoredbyBetterHelp #MentalHealth like, DAMN. that's so helpful. you're so good at helping. I um really liked the part where these are all hard and fast rules that encourage keeping feelings bottled up and keeping your friends at arm's length. That's really funny of you.

So, this interro answer

It gets kinda memed, like, "that's very trans of Fuuta", but like, I wanna look at this stance of his seriously, combined with how he willingly chooses to express masculinity (example, how he's openly into things that society considers as masculine interests, such as sports and gaming.)

I wonder if the reason he feels that way about being a man is a more unique case to him that likely doesn't apply to other men. Like, his behavior that he gets made fun of and called childish or having a tantrum, if it was done by a man larger than him, that man would be seen as dangerous and aggressive (example, T1, how he literally tries to attack Es, but all Es does is laugh at that attempt). I wonder how much his belief comes from the fact that he's not taken seriously as a man, that he really has to work for being seen as one. He'd literally have to change his personality completely, to quiet down and act calmer (and honestly? that likely wouldn't help either).

If he's not seen as a proper fully grown man by Milgram, what's it like outside? I can't really imagine it being any different, which is what may have shaped his views. I've mostly only seen this belief be attributed to his father being old fashioned.

the average person doesn't expect you to be a perfect ethical consumer, that's not possible for the vast majority of us. but what youre saying is it's better to do nothing at all and choose the worst possible options (sweat shops, overseas shipping waste, idea/product theft, all wrapped up in SHEIN) than to put even the tiniest effort in where you can.

[they are referring to this post]

What I said was "some people are doing literally everything they can to survive and have no extra bandwidth to spend extra time and money on their purchases, and it is cruel and therefore un-punk to gatekeep punkness and add additional shame to these people's lives based on that fact."

I think it's still a good thing to try to ethically consume; I literally never said it wasn't. I had never even heard of SHEIN before. Rather, I am much more concerned about what I saw as arbitrary gatekeeping based on ability and income.

And frankly how dare you claim that I am supporting sweatshops and abuse by saying that this additional work you are demanding (in this case, presumably, vetting every clothing company you buy from) is not always possible for people. It is not a light accusation to accuse me of supporting abuse.

"How dare you say we piss on the poor", Etc. 🙄 this isn't Twitter. You are determined to enforce moral purity, but you are failing to see the nuance.

Because when I say "no extra bandwidth," I mean no extra bandwidth. This is not the "car shows it's on E but actually secretly it has a lot of gas left" situation that abled people constantly assume disabled people mean when they say they are at their limit.

This is "the car has stopped moving, and to move it I'd have to break my body pushing it." This is "at a certain point, people will hit a wall in terms of money and time and energy, and any energy spent after that comes directly out of their life force."

So the argument "okay but just spend a little more time money and energy actually" is not a valid one.

And the argument "if you are not able to do this specific task, then it means you're not doing anything else to make the world a better place" doesn't exactly impress me either. You said yourself that it is impossible to be a perfectly ethical consumer for most people.

How do you know what else people are doing to resist oppression? How many hours per week until your standards are met?What if someone works 3 jobs? Does that mean it's harder to be a good person if you're poor?? Why do you get to decide what specific avenue of bettering the world is the most morally repugnant or acceptable? What kind of proof of goodness and effort would make you satisfied enough to lay off on the shame?? Who are you helping??

Clothing is a fundamental human need, and some of us have to buy cheap fucking clothes quickly. Billionaires are buying their seventh yacht this month. The people who own fast fashion companies are abusing their workers and putting local affordable clothing stores out of business - and this applies for basically every company with price points that low because governments are failing to regulate corporations to enforce basic human rights.

I have $300 to spend on a new wardrobe as my old clothes have fallen apart or become too small. Do you have a way for me to get a new winter coat, 3 flannels, 10 shirts, 3 dress shirts, new sandals, 10 pairs of pants, 5 bras, 12 pairs of socks, and 10 pairs of underwear within that budget and also definitely 100% ethically sourced, with free returns in case it doesn't fit? Or will I simply have to use the cheap stores?

I have about an hour to spend on this per week. Many mainstream stores doesn't make clothes in my size, and I am now in *year 5* of needing an electric wheelchair and being unable to get one; plus I live up a flight of stairs, so I can't even bring my walker out with me - so thrift shopping is not gonna cover this. Should I continue to wear small and tattered clothing until I have the time, money, and energy to meet your standards?

Did you know there are more empty homes in this country than homeless people? If I decide to splurge on only 100% ethically-produced products, and I can't make rent, and I become homeless, are YOU going to be there for me?? Or are you too busy litigating the endless tiny shames of poverty in your own community?

So I ask you again, are you SURE this is where you want to direct your punk energy?

Because there are a whole lot of rich people relying on people like us punching down and to the side instead of looking up to see where the money is going.

Because energy and time, as it turns out, are limited resources. And I would never expect you to secretly have more than you claim to have.

On election day, I published a "go vote" post to my cat blog and people are still liking it, which ok, whatever, but they are also still reblogging it. Still! The election is super over. What is going on? I mean, it's a cute picture of my cat but it's still just weird to reblog a plea to vote a whole lifetime after the election. Like, we voted. That is a thing that happened. It's over. We're in the trumpocalypse now. It is the worst timeline. This was a post with a clear time limit and frankly, it's sus to reblog it.

i am having INSANE fujieda route analysis thoughts that will get me cancelled but i might post them anyway

[yakkety-yak-art]

TikTok is somehow even more how dare you say we piss on the poor than tumblr and it’s astounding. Made a video where I said “hey isn’t it weird that the MCU established that howard stark and peggy carter, founders of SHIELD, hired the nazi scientist they know experimented on Bucky and then didn’t address the impact that knowledge might have had on characters, particularly Tony and Steve, post-The Winter Soldier” and received several comments explaining that it’s NOT weird that they introduced that plot point because actually Operation Paperclip!!! as though I’m the idiot when these people decided that my sentence ended at the halfway point and thus ignored the second half which clearly means that I think it’s weird that this goes ignored from that point on, and then another guy going “erm actually they did bring it up later lol in the winter soldier they literally take down SHIELD ☝️” and when I clarified hey man, Im talking about after TWS and also I’m kinda more so talking about the individual and personal effects this event might’ve had on Steve and Tony and it should’ve been brought up in Civil War since they’re featured in the narrative, responding “lol they do bring up Bucky in CW” (not what I was addressing) “obviously you’re just unreasonable since you clearly wanted this movie to be called Here’s Why Fascism Is Bad 😏” (what if I threw a book at you. would you gain the ability to read the words in front of you instead of making up other people’s sentences from wholecloth via osmosis or are you a lost cause.)

[keepinventory]

Why do you say morals like it's a bad thing? When did it become a bad thing lmfao. Who is asking you to agree with amoral stances or do you have skeletons in your closet? Creepy.

god i love tumblr anons so much. no i don't think having morals is bad LOL its just been a long time since ive seen hatred of a media that wasnt based on the disgusting immorality/cruelties committed in said media. its fun to hate on things that dont matter sometimes

[iceeericeee]

I had a dream I made a post that said “Using AI to draw deez nuts lol” and people were coming at me in the tags saying how I shouldn’t be using AI at all and I was disgraceful. So I deleted Tumblr. I woke up super panicked and checked my phone to see if it was true.

Heard you were looking for an excuse to post hot takes...

Apollo doesn't like Phoenix and might straight up hate his ass send tweet.

At the start of aa4 Apollo tolerates this man at best. I don't necessarily defer to aa5 and aa6 canon bc the new writers came in and decided to wreck the place (yes there are things I like about them, no I do not think they are so horrible that I will never play them or that no one should ever play them, yes I am very upset they took everything aa4 set up and threw it out the window), however I do believe that Apollo could grow to understand what happened and become work friendly. This is ONLY if Phoenix apologizes well and actually walks him through it, but they both have 'I don't talk about myself or my feelings' disease so... Good luck. Oh, and if Phoenix actually did wait that long to tell him and Trucy they were siblings idk if their relationship could ever be repaired. Also I said work friendly bc let's be honest, the only reason he likes Trucy (and Athena if you're forcing me) is bc they are so outgoing they make up for his chronically introverted persona. (Of course after a certain point he's been through it with both of them and that creates a bond, but they wouldn't have gone through it together if Apollo was the one in charge of that.)

That being said I don't think he wants anything bad to happen to Phoenix. We see pretty quickly that Apollo is actually very sensitive to what is happening to other people. For example: when Trucy fake kidnaps herself he is whole ass bawling even though he pretty much doesn't know her. Not just an, oh man, this is awful, he is feeling and living and expressing those emotions with his whole self. Other example: He feels soooo bad that these people in Klavier's life suck. He devotes himself to 'pulling the darkness' out of a guy that by all accounts he doesn't really know or personally like (I think we have evidence that Apollo respects Klavier's ethics, even if his personality is a little glimmerous.) So I think if anything happened to Phoenix or it seemed like something was going to happen to him, Apollo would do everything he could about it. That doesn't mean he likes the guy.

And like, I work retail. I work with a ton of people that in any other situation I would never speak to, and yet I can still get excited for them and strike up in depth conversations with them while still going home and thinking 'Wow, that lady sucks'. Apollo is not going to be openly hostile or anything, he's just not going to give a whole lot in terms of a personal relationship.

Also I think Phoenix genuinely likes Apollo and I think he knows he likes Apollo a lot more than Apollo likes him. I think this would make him sad but he wouldn't try to force anything. And I think Phoenix genuinely feels bad and if there had been any other way forward he would have taken it but there wasn't and he didn't and he has accepted that this is part of the consequences of that.

donut-rights here, i need to clarify that my post wasn’t hopeful, it was just a joke. i actually think if they revive rvb or do anything rvb related it will 100% be kinda shitty and disappointing

and that’s okay! that’s been the vibe of the last like 5 seasons of rvb lmao

OH NO YEAH I KINDA FIGURED IM SO SORRY i meant that as a kidn of in general statement bc that was the like.. fifth post id seen abt the potential "return" of grimmons and some of those posts had been at least a little bit genuinely hopeful :>

Or maybe they were also joking????? I am the ceo of accidentally taking things too literally at times so who knows fhsgdh

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

Lmaoooo your examples of horror are not remotely horror. Merely having creepy or unsettling or tense moments does not a horror media make.

Ah yes, the inherently unsettling and tense moments of *squints at the post* the SAW movies. As we all know those are not in fact horror.
