#racist behaviour!

[crobones]

"kendrick's a misogynist too!" okay but like

we know. HE knows. he made a whole ass album addressing his trauma and how it lead to but did not excuse his abusive behaviour. and how he's trying to do better. to BE better.

"drake accused him of beating his wife!"

kendrick himself alluded to allegedly having an abusive relationship with his wife. he doesn't go into details, so it's possible he doesn't mean physically, while drake is accusing it of being physical.

here's the thing. (for me, at least.) drake vastly fucking misinterpreted "Mother I Sober" so much so that he put the worst bars i've ever heard in his most recent diss saying that Kendrick was sexually assaulted as a child. AS. A. DISS. like, Kendrick himself said he wasn't and Drake not only didn't comprehend the lyrics, but also made fun of Kendrick's so called trauma. like. the fuck? it wouldn't be a big leap to assume he misinterpreted the rest of Kendrick's lyrics - willfully or not.

again, on his album Mr. Morale, Kendrick is connecting a lot of his behaviour to - but not excusing it with - his childhood trauma. a generational curse. iirc he also pretty much says he's seeking help (which is encouraged by his wife pretty openly, seeing as she features on several songs in the album)

Good!! They should have to answer for this behaviour.

[juney-blues]

it's simple, see, we just have to never hold our allies up to any kind of standard because they'll stop being allies with us the moment it becomes even slightly inconvenient for them

[vamprisms]

people who look down on dropouts are weird

[ranbling]

It really feels good when your unexplained dislike of an actor actually has a reason

[srue-on-fire]

this wouldn’t even be the fandom discourse we’d have seen if buck dated josh instead of tommy.

this wouldn’t even be the fandom discourse we’d have seen if buck dated literally a brand new male character.

this wouldn’t be the fandom discourse we would be seeing if eddie or buck were ever to date josh.

it’s not about the sexuality of the relationship. it never was.

it’s about the character. their past, their present and their impact in bettering a main character and getting them off the hamster wheel.

Obvious Right Wing Things I Saw A Radfem Share Today #1

On a video about a woman holding a man in a headlock for invading the women's changing room, these were some of the chosen accompanying twitter screenshots:

So, I go to his account and of course

Another one! This one is easy-mode. Don't even need to see the account, just look at the name. STOP SHARING THINGS THAT DEROGATARILY USE THE WORD 'WOKE', YOU FUCKING RACISTS.

And finally,

So, I don't know anything about this account but by and large things that tend to focus on 'liberals' tend to heavily lean right-wing. So I go the account and of course!!!

Why bother finding actual feminist women to comment on the subject, right? Nah, better stick with the obvious rightoid males bc, I don't fucking know, I guess it's better to own the transes than have any fucking political and moral spine I guess

[ratbastarddotfuck]

am I wrong? genuinely, I'm asking. would it not come off extremely condescending?

[robotclownindulgence]

The evil leftist feminists are right btw. Men are the source of all that is bad in the world and should cry and moan and feel bad for being privileged men all the time actually

[glitchingstitches]

the tiktok kids are so terrified of being problematic that theyre doing mental gymnastics to justify why lindy's behaviour wasnt actually racism and so they dont need to feel bad for not recognizing it.

[li-nox]

No disrespect but some of us are poc and don’t need to like a character that has been openly racist. He grosses me out and I’m not guilty about that. It’s fine to like problematic characters but it’s too much to get mad that other people don’t like them too. Especially when he’s not problematic in a silly fictional way but he is literally just racist. I think if you had experiences with people in real life like his with Chim and Hen he would gross you out too.

No disrespect taken. I do see where it comes from and I never glossed over Tommy's past. I'm not in any position to invalidate the experiences of POC people. I never did that. And I never will.

So, it's not about being right out mad at people that don't like him. It's about bluntly ignoring, that he's changed off screen like so many other characters before him. And making things up just to write him off.

Don't like him as much as you want. Just don't lie. And use tag.

Yes, he would absolutely gross me out, if he'd still act that way. Because in fact, I did my fair share of calling out internalized racism in my environment. That has actually explicitly raised me to be open and liberal.

As I said once: People who truly want to change, can. You just wouldn't necessarily know, because they've overcome racist behaviour. And don't talk about their past. I strongly believe til this day, that Tommy was one of the fireman that stood up for Hen behind Gerrard's back.

And let's not talk about Ryan's #defendingracistslurs gate back in 2020: Personally, I'm still not over it sometimes, but I'm not part of his life. And for that, I can acknowledge that the people it concerns have sorted it out.

In real life, it'd only be up to Hen and Chim to forgive him. What they did. And considering how inclusive Minear and the whole cast of 9-1-1 always have been, I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing.

This doesn't mean - to be absolutely clear - that you must (always and without exception) forgive people who have constantly disregarded you and your person in any way. That is (and always will be) an individual decision, depending on what has happened.

trying to read an article linking cognition and bigotry and they haven't even defined cognition

[dapg-otmebytheballs]

coming back the next day to my blog terrified of reactions and yea I worry this will get swept under the rug and be made into a non issue

PSA for the Batfandom:

Dick and Damian being called out for their shitty behaviour towards Tim is not villainizing or demonising them. It’s holding them responsible for their choices. Damian chose to try to kill Tim. Dick chose to take Robin from Tim, despite knowing that Tim didn’t have anything else left, and to give Robin to Damian, despite knowing that that would confirm to Damian that violent behaviour gets him what he wants.

Someone ( a Black man ) got taken to court because he sent an emoji of a raccoon to a mixed race Tory running for election somewhere and infront of an all white jury he was cleared of committing a hate crime

As funny as I find this, it shows the concerns that the current hate crime laws might be weaponised against ethnic minorities is true and it's funny what Tories of colour find offensive and racist because it's apparently not what was said about Diane Abbott

[thiscatiscreepy]

It's funny how Minecraft now has these ancient ruins that you can excavate and you can find remains of a bygone civilization and their art and looms and such.

And right next to them you can find the stereotypical racist "jungle temple" with traps and nothing else of cultural value.
