#racists get uncomfortable

[kasumingo]

"How can Toshiro loves Falin when he dislikes Laios that much? Another man seeing an autistic woman as a "manic pixie girl" but who would treat her badly."

Yeah, Falin and Laios are totally the same person. It's not like Falin is more reserved and Laois is more loud and extroverted, so Toshiro is more comfortable with with her because of that. Not at all. (/huge sarcasm)

I just got told I should be deported because I spoke Spanish to my Mexican mother… at a Mexican owned restaurant that sells only tamales… in my town that’s 98% Hispanic and Latino… in a part of Texas that’s known for its vibrant Mexican culture… that my family has been living in since Texas was a part of Mexico…

Bro go back to where you came from my family was here first🤨

gay people when you put them on a game with customization (they will not stop drawing their characters)

the spy thing did actually happen to me earlier btw. i was so elated about the 2 kills i didnt care about being called a slur (dude was just toxic in general anyways)

anyways if u like shooting games with customization why havent you gotten pvz garden warfare yet best shooting game ever made sold 10 garden warillion copies (ive been obsessed with this game for 10 years and counting thats why i keep bringing it up)

maybe Herbert West isn’t misogynistic and Meg Halsey isn’t homophobic. Maybe you guys are just weird

People can like or dislike IDW Optimus based on their personal tastes as much as they like, I think the thing that just annoys me about IDW OP hate is that a lot of it just boils down to "he isn't nice/good and I feel uncomfortable" which like is literally the fucking point

Barber (for all his writing's flaws) did not write a story dissecting intergenerational racism, colonialism, systemic oppression, privilege, the inherent fallibility of deifying regular mortal beings, the emotional and societal toll of a lifetime of war, and much, much more for you to look at IDW OP and go "but he's an asshole therefore he's bad." Like god it's literally missing the entire point of the story. Yes he's an asshole, yes he fucks up in catastrophic and tyrannical ways, yes it's uncomfortable to read. And why shouldn't it be given the subject matter it's tackling?

How would it have been better writing for Optimus to somehow magically be the one untouched, pure, sweethearted, morally unquestionable paragon of heroism in an entire universe whose central tone is "everyone here is fucking dysfunctional and traumatized and has bias about SOMETHING" and that constantly explores themes around stuff like the abuse of power and culpability for one's own actions? Hhhhhh

Last night, my boss called me out of the blue (he’s never done that before. It was like, almost 9pm and my sister and I were out eating at a restaurant in Chinatown. Well, we’d just left tbh.) asking if I was “coming in today?” And if “I need my hours,” like man, what? And tried to joke about the times where I’d text him to ask if I should still come in because the weather is bad and I can’t work the pool if it’s raining. They literally know this. I’ve been sent home because of the rain at least 5 times now, bro, stop playing with me. He said some shit like “you aren’t just doing that as an excuse to call off, right hahah?” And I just feel like that since they want to fire me, he’s trying to come up with an excuse to do so. He tried to take a jab at me asking by about the weather as an excuse to go into possibly “calling off too much,” even though I’ve never missed a day of work since starting this location. The only days I’ve missed are the days where they’d send me home because of the rain and that one weekend because I was gone for vacation, so they can’t use my attendance at all. I’m late sometimes (only because I’m tired of this place, man. I’m so unmotivated but I need the money orz. The good thing is that the leasing agents and those in higher positions aren’t there on the weekends. Only maintenance and the concierges and they don’t give a shit. I doubt they’d tell on me about being late since most of the concierges hate it there, too. They could gaf.) but my boss sounded like he was trying to see if I was going to coming in today (why wouldn’t I? I’ve been working the weekend for weeks now, what are you talking about 🗿…) so that he could try to have someone new work the pool to give them a chance to get used to it so that they could push me out/ fire me. Jokes on them, I might just call up my main boss on Monday and tell her that I’d like a new assignment because the work place has become hostile and it is now, making me feel uncomfortable.)

T*ffany S*ratton is extremely talented, and extremely pretty.. And none of that changes the fact that her post was racist. Period. MFs out here talking about "well at least she didn't use a slur." Gtfoh with that shit.

Love Sing Street, love the final sequence, wonderfully, perfectly open-ended to the point that Conor’s hypothetical success after the fact does not matter to me, however, I would absolutely watch a sequel with Ngig as the main character.

[redwhortleberry]

complaining !

[weirdo-from-bonesborough]

Dune fans keep warning people not to read too many Dune books is hilarious because I feel the same way about Ender’s Game. If you think you want to read Speaker for the Dead no you don’t. No you don’t.

Edit: read some of the stuff y’all are saying about Dune and uh never mind. Enderverse is fine.

[creaturefeaster]

Wire, do you know tally hall or miracle musical?

I know of Tally Hall, but I do not listen to them. I've never heard of Miracle Musical though >_<!

Wrote out a big long phone call rant to have with my mother later because as much as I hate it she is my closest irl spiritual confidant 👍 here’s hoping her response to ‘hey I’ve been spiritually depressed and disconnected for like 8 months and for some reason these last two weeks advocating for Palestine has me feeling alive and burning with divine passion and love in a way I’ve never felt before in my life’ isn’t like. ‘Talk to your psyche abt your meds hun’
