#racists are so dumb

Marvel fans calling Riri, falcon and wonderman "dei characters" was not on my 2024 bingo card

I've been making the transition these past few months, but I think I'm gonna just move back to Tumblr. My Twitter's follower-base has reached a point where I can't tweet anything casually opinion-related without it overflowing like a toilet. I post a short thread on my gripes with color design in anime and I'm getting QRT'd with "kill this guy with hammers" reaction gifs. Like, damn, this isn't fun anymore. It's not fun to talk about stuff on Twitter in general anymore. I wanted to post some ship dynamic doodles sometime there, but I know I'm gonna get weirdly aggressive takes and reactions. Monkey's paw curls, but I don't particularly like having that many followers.

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.

also a good way to go into fantasy society worldbuilding or just worldbuilding in general is just to remember "no animal is inheritly evil, no human is inheritly cruel and deserving of punishment for being alive, and no species is deserving of a death penalty simply for how they look. no matter what."

like. if you have a species that say. is being ruled by an evil overlord and as such rules under a very violent society. however if person of that species is taken outside of this society, they can become a better person and learn from their misdeeds. if a member of the species isn't raised inside the walls of this violent society, they'll turn out just how their parents raise them, not how the society expects them to act.

but if you have a society where the species inside of it is "inheritly" seen as evil or stupid, where even raising a child out of this environment they are still mean no matter what. stop. that does not make sense. that gives off a very weird message. it's way more compelling and thoughtful if you state that its an upbringing, or a society, that makes someone who they are, not that its "inherit." holds up hands. back away from the stage a little. no one is inherently evil no matter what even if you dont like them. and especially even if you dont find them pretty or "cool."

animal jam is great as long as you dont find out about the racism

not to get into discourse mode on here but the recent shit w/ ao3 being once again called out for being run by racists/genocide supporters and seeing so many fucking Absolute Gormless Shitheads blindly defend OTW and going " dOn'T bRiNg FiCtIoNaL PoLiTicS iNtO tHis!!!111!1 " as if they are not immune to propaganda is wild . my siblings in sin , ao3 is literally The Racism Fetish Fanfiction site , and propaganda via fictional work is exactly how racism perpetuates. ao3 and the otw are a part of the problem whether you choose to acknowledge it or not because they contribute to the cycle of violence , fetishisation and colonisation of marginalised groups via complacency (and sometimes even blatant PASSIVE ENCOURAGEMENT) , and then they cover it up by using soft cutesy buzzwords like " anti-censorship " and " free speech " and their dumb ass complex tagging system to appeal to white people , so when Actual Minorities and people affected by the shit they put on there speak up about it they're met with all kinds of bullcrap about "jUsT bLoCk ThE tAg If It'S a PrObLem1111!111" or "YoU'rE jUsT bEiNg a fAnDoM cOp!11!!"

You're a part of the problem if you support ao3 and actively continue to use it & donate to them , especially in the wake of the OTW being actively chockful of zionists who will , ironically , silence those who speak up and rally with Palestine for liberation . And If you decide to take this as me being hostile towards you or trying to " bring fiction into real world issues " , remember that at Any point in time you can go on ao3 for yourself and find thousands and thousands of raceplay fics and other various works that glorify and condone racism , and that the otw and their large userbase (primarily composed of white people!) has a track record of trying to shut up POC when this issue is brought to light .

Idgaf if ao3 is for " anti-censorship " , because there's a difference between anti-censorship and HIDING BEHIND the concept of free speech and the 1st amendment to do and say awful , horrendous things and believe you're above critique , punishment or consequences for it .

tl;dr: fuck ao3, fuck the otw, free palestine, and most importantly: you are NOT and will NEVER be immune to propaganda if you choose to ignore it because it benefits you.

One of my issues with Team CRDL in canon is how clearly they're meant to be Hate Sinks.

For anyone who doesn't know: a hate sink is a character meant to be unsympathetic, unlikable. They're meant to be hated by the audience and creators will often pile the worst qualities they can think of onto them for the sake of getting an audience to enjoy when said character is punished.

It is very hard to create a character like this in a way that's fun to watch without the character feeling ridiculous or annoying. And it's not even annoying in the way the writer would want.

In team CRDL's case their existence just screams that the writers wanted an easy antagonist the viewers could hate without doing the work to actually build interesting characters that could exist beyond the "Jaune is bullied" arc.

What makes it more frustrating is that they are one of the only Beacon teams we got in the series, Beacon was very barren of actual notable characters so when 20% of the cast has no purpose outside of "Please hate us" it's very stark and noticeable.

In general, Jaune's episodes are the ones I dread, rewatching the most in volume 1 because they do a disservice to both his story and the existence of a decent portion of the cast. Jaune being the subject of ridicule and insult from peers who view him as weak is a good idea but the execution of it doesn't work.

Not to mention (as I've said before) the decision to name one of them "Winchester" which is a real world gun company and yet choose not to weave his family into the lore is so incredibly baffling.

Honestly, the idea characters existing as nothing but bullies to be hated isn't even a rwby original thing. It's very common in shounen and every time it's as tiring as the last because typically the characters only exist to make our main character likable in comparison. It's a lazy writing tactic.

Soooo the people from Benj's family have left our house.

For fuck's sake. I spoke more with the kiddos than the parents, who were:

being overall unhappy and not chatty at all except for complaining about money the whole time (they were coming back from their two weeks holidays in the Alps at the foot of the Mont Blanc as a family of four)(Benj is for them the cousin who's rolling in money. We aren't poor. We have fucking horses we aren't poor. You know how we manage? We never go on holidays. Ever. This is a life choice. A conscious one. Because we used to be poor and never/rarely went on holidays when we were kids and we had great childhoods nonetheless)

letting their dog poop in the street, not pick it up

their dog also peed in our fucking house, and they cleaned, but our own dog is very dominant and that has prompted him to quickly pee in the house too, which he HAS NEVER DONE BEFORE because he is well trained

reminder their dog is a 6kg Jack Russel and ours is a 45kg lab/beauceron cross. Think about the amount of pee I had to clean off

I'd spent the week cleaning the house. Yay

we'd offered to make BBQ and salad. They didn't like the BBQ. Nor the salad (Benj had warned me. Whatever you do. They won't eat it. Make pasta. They ate pasta. Without any sauce. Because they didn't like the ones we had. THE KIDS. 8 AND 14. ATE MORE FOOD THAN THEIR PARENTS (go kids. Please don't be corrupted by your parents. don't care about the food, see below)

we took them on a little tour, they were bored af, and complained that they had to be back at 7:30 to feed the cat (yeah they also had their cat). Your cat can survive an hour of delay.

they've left, and I noticed they broke something in the room we gave them, without telling us. Thanks? You could have told us? We're not an Airbnb?

of course we had to stir the conversation away from any topic that vaguely approached politics because we know they're fervent fascist voters and we're cowards and don't want to have to deal with that - yet they still managed to spew racist shit out of the blue. Luckily they also change subjects when they realized we were just staring at them not saying anything.

Anyway. Yay for family. We really don't live in the same fucking world. I don't want them in my house ever again thanks and yeah Benj doesn't want them back either. EUUURGHHHHHH

Benj is the godfather of the eldest kid. And the kid adores him. He's trying to make him understand his parents view of the world suck. This is why he still sees them. He feels some responsibility towards the kid. I hope it works.

i hateee when ppl on here act all high and mighty for being on tumblr. "haha we're so much better than the tiktok fandom god they're so chronically online lol annoying" like ooh yeah youre so quirky and special. i bet you bring books to concerts. should we tell y/n

[undertheredhood]

the way that people reduce jason and stephanie’s characters into one-dimensional archetypes (especially when talking about their deaths) compared to the rest of the batfamily is based off of fucking classism and i hate it so much.

[fuckyeah-bears]

you're so funny. palestine this, palestine that, i cant keep the bear blogging it feels fake. not a word about ukraine (a second year of internationally recognised genocide) or karabakh (ongoing ethnical cleansing fully forgotten by anybody except armenians, but who cares about those, i guess). is it only important if its poor poor muslims suffering at the hands of evil evil jews?

Hey do everyone a favor and fuck off to be a miserable racist Islamophobic person somewhere else

[bringslife]

so tired of seeing ppl (non rp fandom) complaining about the doctor crying whenever he’s in an emotionally traumatizing situation.
