#so no wonder y'all defend nazis

[nogoawaytism]

My second thingy for Nitpick November, because I'm not gonna do this consistently the way God intended.

It's just so... interesting to hear RWBY stans bitch about any sort of criticism regarding how certain male characters are treated. Apparently if any of us commit the unforgiveable sin of saying something like "I wish Sun/Adam/Mercury/Ironwood was treated better by the narrative + explored the unique themes that are a part of their identity as characters." rwby stans freak the fuck out and start whining about how RWDE only wants a show about a white male character. And I'm like

*looks at the vast majority of the cast, especially the heroes*

*looks at V9*

It's just so... interesting how these double standards work, because I guess a white male character getting the spotlight is ok when it's Miles's self-insert.

Meanwhile, Sun has a Chinese allusion despite being a blonde, Ironwood was modeled after Jason Rose who is half Asian (Oh wait, I bet we don't count mixed people). Interesting.

Also, Sun is an established, in-universe minority, an abuse victim thanks to Blake, which is frequently downplayed because Blake is a girl and a main character, and is therefore perfect, and Sun is evil because he isn't psychic, and expressed attraction to a main character. How evil.

Also, Ironwood is a veteran with PTSD facing a horrible situation, a triple amputee, and the only one of the cast who actually has a feasible plan. Oh wait, losing his arm made him lose his humanity, what an evil bastard. He probably lost over half his body on purpose.

Also, Adam is an established, in-universe minority, a former child slave, who has the SCHNEE FUCKING DUST COMPANY logo burned onto his fucking face. Adam should be a good faunus, and not complain at all about faunus oppression, otherwise he's a fucking nazi.

Also, Mercury was trained for an extremely dangerous job as a young child, and abused so badly to the point where he LOST BOTH LEGS. Man, white men really do be the worst.

Yes, two of these characters are villains, and yes, we should hold people accountable for their actions instead of inborn characteristics. Oh wait, y'all already did that when you bitched about them being "white men", while almost every important non-white character has been presented as a villain at some point, and the two non-white characters in our main cast, Ren and Oscar get treated so poorly compared to the other heroes. Sure, complain about how RWDE "wants to center white men" while Ren's mental state and feelings are invalidated at every turn. Sure, complain about how RWDE "wants to center white men" while Oscar the literal child that got dragged into this war is constantly the one bearing the brunt of physical abuse that we haven't seen our other characters experience + half of that physical abuse is by characters who ARE heroes and by Hazel who got the last-minute redemption treatment. Sure, complain about how RWDE "wants to center white men" while y'all treat this show like the best shit to happen to media since Charles Dickens when *checks notes* it's written by white men, which isn't inherently bad in my opinion, but in this case they write every fucking issue in this show in such an insensitive light, and are still horrible xenophobic people. Miles and Kerry ARE stereotypical horrible white men, but y'all still defend their stupid writing while bitching about white men abused by the narrative.

Oh, and might I add: the fuckers saying this stan Coco. I wonder what her allusion is.

So you mean to tell me, that expressing just a little bit of tact about Adam being a branded child slave, or Ironwood losing three limbs and being traumatized, or Mercury being abused and losing his legs, is super duper evil, but this Nazi insert is an absolute slay queen. Y'all really made a doodoo with this one, whoopsies!

Anyway, take the historic moment before Mercury rightfully whooped this Discord light mode-looking mf who's also a Nazi:

[homesweetgoodneighbor]

I remember seeing a post on this site that said Maxson had one of the saddest backstories in Fallout lore because he didn't have the chance to be a kid and got yelled at a little which was... A Take. Because there's Hancock who canonically commits suicide via radiation drug and is so riddled with PTSD and survivor's guilt that he sees himself as completely unworthy of any kind of loving relationship. Kinda makes me wonder if that poster and I were playing the same game.

First of all, yes, Maxson had a horrible childhood, but then, he decided - and it was his fucking decision - to become a fucking nazi warlord out to "better" mankind by hoarding tech so they can "distribute it" to those who are worthy...while killing anyone who wasn't human. He is called "Elder Maxson" and is expected to be obeyed without question. There are cults created out of that mindset.

Hancock went through all that and decided to try to become the opposite of the brother and society he felt caused that much pain, while taking all that pain upon himself and denying himself a chance to be happy.

Hancock has a severe amount of issues that he self-medicates for and STILL doesn't take it out on others if he can help it. He puts on a front to maintain his political situation while being fully aware he can be over-thrown and actually ENCOURAGES THAT if he gets out of line.

It's obvious to me that anyone who defends Maxson hasn't been playing the same damn game.

Y'ALL HEARD ME.

I already said before that this is Not A Maxson Friendly Blog. I have exactly ZERO pity for that fucking monster. I had the same amount of pity for Shaun. (Shot him in the head the moment he revealed himself. Look, if my kid turned into a nazi, his ass would be handed over to be "dealt with" by whoever hit the hardest.) I will not deny you your desires, but don't expect me to be friendly to the damn BoS. Those fucking nazis deserve every ounce of hate I can give them.

Although, I will say, since I learned more about Danse...I'm willing to give him a pass if he's willing to unlearn that nazi fucking behavior and stop being a racist dickbag.

He's got potential, that one. Just has to show he can grow beyond his wiring. (pun intended)

.

------------

On a personal note, I'm a survivor of abuse and all kinds of PTSD situations, and my ass still has enough respect to NOT kill the people who piss me off or I think should die for the good of the herd. If I can do it, so can Maxson.

Hoodie

Marcus lends you his hoodie after an accident which prompts you to contemplate whether you should give it back. 

Pairing: Y/N x Marcus Lopez Arguello

Warnings: Fluff! The tiniest bit of angst, Kinda AU (UNEDITED)

Word Count: 1.2k

 the smell of your cologne is still on it  slip it on over my shoulders

“How’s it going so far?” You questioned, easily sliding your legs under the table so you could sit next to Marcus at the designated ‘rats’ table along with Petra, Billy and Lex. 

You placed your cafeteria tray down, staring at the food disgustedly as you’d lost your appetite a while ago.

“He’s managed to get beaten up every day if that’s what you're asking,” Lex exclaimed, a raspy laugh leaving his lips as Marcus made an unpleasant face at him rolling his eyes out of annoyance.

“Aww not so well then.” You pouted, placing a finger underneath Marcus’s chin to see the damage that no doubt Chico would’ve caused, his group were a bunch of egotistical dicks that took enjoyment in watching others in pain.

Sure enough, he had a fresh bruise above his eye and a nasty cut across the bridge of his nose. Brushing your thumb against the greenish tinted bruise your breath hitched as he swatted your hand away from him.

“If you’re going to make fun of me for it hurry up,” He sighed, twirling the metallic fork in his food before side eyeing you waiting for your sarcastic comment.

“I wasn’t-,” You began to defend yourself but stopped as he shrugged it off, returning his focus to the sloppy peas on his plate he had yet to eat.

“Why is Brandy coming over here?” Petra hissed, causing the group to turn towards their table watching intently as the blonde haired nazi wannabe strutted toward them with a flavoured milk carton in her hand. 

“Hey Y'all I just came over here to congratulate Y/N for officially reaching slut status,” She exclaimed standing at the front of the table addressing the group, a smirk plastered on her face as you refused to make eye contact with her.

You knew what she was talking about which caused your heartbeat to quicken wondering how she found out in the first place. 

Ambling over towards you she held the milk carton above your head and before you could retaliate you felt the cold chocolate flavoured liquid penetrate your hair and trail down your blazer and all over your chest.

The ringing of laughter could be heard throughout the cafeteria as you attempted to wipe the milk off your face, tasting it in the process.

“Fine, you want to call me slut go ahead, let's see how everyone else thinks of me after I do this,” You spat on her shoe before standing up in your spot, unpredictably you began to unbutton the chocolate milk covered school blazer ripping it off and placing it on the table leaving you in a white undershirt.

“But of course this isn’t enough for you Brandy is it?” You questioned while crossing your arms using your hands to grab the hem of the white now stained undershirt and pulling it off in one swift motion leaving you in your expensive branded lacy black lingerie bra.

An uproar of cheering and clapping began as you stood there, hands placed on your hips a bitchy grin on your face as Brandy kissed her teeth huffing and turning around, returning to her ‘legacy’ table.

“Holy shit Y/N.” Petra exclaimed, beginning to clap along with everyone else amazed by your bold actions. 

You knew the boys at your table especially would be eyeing you, biting your lip you moved your gaze to Marcus whose lips were parted out of what you couldn’t decipher as surprise or shock. Giving him a sly wink, you caught his reaction out of the corner of your eye as you sat down again. The sight of his reddening cheeks was adorable, it was easy to make him flustered.

For once in your life, you’d rendered Lex and Billy speechless which caused you to internally celebrate, the lack of cheeky comments made you feel accomplished.

After an awkwardly long time, while shirtless, you began to slightly shiver due to the coolness of the room. The curly brunette had picked up on how uncomfortable you were starting to feel.

“Y/N, here,” He mumbled, beginning to pull off his black and comfortable looking hoodie for you as it was the most sensible option other than being shirtless.

“Turn sideways,” He ordered as you threw one leg over the bench, sitting on it sideways and facing him. 

“Arms up.” He sang cheerily which was the complete opposite of how he was feeling before, maybe you’d cheered him up with your act. Obeying him you lifted both of your arms up in a Y formation making the process easier for him.

Placing it over your head, he helped pull the sleeves down onto your arms. His nimble fingers skimmed down your torso as he attempted to pull the rest of the hoodie down onto your figure causing Goosebumps to arise.

“Thank you,” You whispered noticing how fluffy and warm it was around your body, you had to refrain from letting out a sigh of contentment. 

“I’ve never seen Brandy been so humiliated in my life,” Billy exclaimed, praising you as he began to laugh at the scene that unravelled before him just a couple of minutes ago. 

“She deserved it,” You replied snarkily as the group hummed in agreement at your statement. 

“And now you’re going to have another target on your back,” Marcus stated knowingly which caused you to emit a groan of unsatisfaction.

“He does have a point, she’ll do anything to get back at you for that,” Lex piped up, leg crossed on the table as he leant back comfortably contributing to the conversation. 

“I’ll survive, I always do.” You shrugged, flipping up the hoodie to cover your head out of boredom. 

After using the rest of your afternoon classes to contemplate whether you should give Marcus’s hoodie back you decided to personally greet him at his room. 

Folding the black jumper up nicely, you hugged it inhaling the scent of him that lingered on it causing you to smile. You liked him more than you let on.

Roaming down the halls almost awkwardly, you paused at the door of his and Shabnams shared room, exhaling to release some nerves before holding your arm up in a knocking position.

Before you could knock, the door swung open revealing a somewhat shirtless Marcus who looked just as equally stunned to see you.

“Y/N,” He exclaimed, eyebrows raising as he attempted to quickly button up the white shirt as he saw you. 

Your eyes lingered on the splotches of white scarred tissue that trailed down his chest as he covered them up.

“Marcus I uh, here,” You whispered in a hushed tone, handing him the folded hoodie as you tried to comprehend what you’d just seen. 

“It’s nothing Y/N,” He said referring to his scars as he softly smiled, you could see the anguish in his eyes as he relived the memories from the boys home causing you to let out a sigh.

“If you ever want to talk about it, I’m all ears,” You offered, furrowing your brows as he nodded in reply, murmuring a small thanks for returning his hoodie.

“I’ll see you tomorrow?” He questioned as you began to strut away from the room and back down the many confusing halls of Kings Dominion.

“Maybe.” You exclaimed, throwing your head over your shoulder and cheekily smiling as he watched you leave.

Open this in incognito. Coward.

>A nazi does not simply exist peacefully.

Turns out words are still not actual violence.

>The bottom line is that there exist views which it is simply not acceptable for someone to hold. D

Wrong. The bottom line is that there are certain sociopolitical views that people want to punish with violence. They want to literally outlaw certain opinions.

Which is, ironically, something fascists are known for.

>Debating a fascist might change someone's mind in some very rare circumstances, but it will not defeat the group as a whole,

And how will violence - terrorism - do that, exactly? You never actually get around to explaining that. You just act like you win by default.

We are talking about people who are supposedly ready and willing to do violence, by your own arguments. People who have quite possibly the most reviled ideology in the world.

People who paint themselves as victims.

And you want to "solve" the problem by victimizing them and alienating them further?

Ever hear of Daryl Davis?

>and it gives outsiders the false impression that both sides might have a point, when it could not be clearer who the bad guys are.

And we come to the center of the shrubbery maze.

It's not really about danger or violence, it's about controlling people's opinions. This is the equivalent of arguing that a rape joke will make people think rape is okay.

Even though the vast majority of society clearly hates rapists and nazis.

Also, 'bad guys' often base their nonsense on some kernel of truth, and build from there. If you can't trust people to tell the difference, and you don't think 88ers can consistently be beaten in debates despite their long history of failure, that seems like a you problem.

>If you win a debate with a fascist, but the crowd walks away thinking that there is a serious, non-astroturfed debate in favor of nazism or any other form of fascism, the fascist has won.

And if you tell everyone the 88ers are so powerful, so charismatic, so persuasive that they can't even be allowed to speak in the first place, a lot of people are just going to wonder what all the fuss is about.

Also, please point to the post where I have said, now or in the past, that debate is the only feasible way to effectively counter Nazis.

>Whether you prove them wrong, you've made it seem a little bit more normal for someone to hold fascist views.

No, maybe the crowd are gullible idiots. Maybe the fascist just happens to be more persuasive than me. But that doesn't automatically normalize the views to any degree, especially when the rest of society still says fascism is not normal.

>You're worried about people who aren't fascists getting punched if they're standing in support of fascists?

I'm worried about fascists punching back. I'm worried about fascists shooting back. I'm worried about the next Charlottesville.

I'm worried about innocent people getting attacked because they're mistaken for fascists, which has already happened. Even leftists are not safe.

One random Bernie supporter got attacked just for carrying a flag.

And you know what happens to people - including me - who point to not-fascists who got attacked because they were mistaken for fascists? People say we're "defending" fascists.

Heck, loads of other pro-punching folk will openly admit their standards are actually "eh, close enough" at the drop of a hat. That's part of why I don't trust y'all with that kind of power.

>There's a really easy solution to that. Don't support fascists. If you have a table with a nazi sitting at it and ten other people are talking to them, you've got a table with eleven nazis.

Counterpoint; the Nuremberg trials.

It's kind of hilarious how you want to pretend to be logical, when you have absolutely nothing but stupid emotional arguments and stupid hypotheticals and positions you made up and attributed to me.

And how y'all have to keep turning fascism and Nazism into cognitohazards instead of belief systems that have been marginalized and stigmatized for our entire lives.

And how not a single person has answered the "are you willing to kill a Nazi?" question.

Heck, you didn't even have the courage not to block me, so I strongly doubt you'll be able to take on the terrible threat you imagine nazis to be.

[angelicfiresign]

i think people just refuse to acknowledge the fact that fascism is inherently violent?? like it’s literally rooted in the genocide of whole groups of people and directly calls for the extermination of those groups and someone taking their car and hitting people in the name of fascism isn’t some sort of outlier being taken to extremes like this is the goal of fascism

[yosoystark]

// I'm not fucking dealing with this shit, man. I don't care what you think or anything. Just think it's fucked up how ppl think it's ok to RP Nazis or even ex-nazis. This week, teens in school were shot up and two for them died. A lot were injured. And you know what? The one who did it was involved with Nazism. A lot of recent shootings have been involved with Nazism.

I have to see the nasty white Nazis here in Texas have been doing. Drawing those symbols and thinking they're cool. Trying to draw fear.

So excuse me if I don't want to fuck with anyone who thinks this is ok. This isn't a fucking opinion or a silly "pick a side". Ppl are dying out there in real life. CHILDREN. Holy fucking shit. And then on top of that we have Jewish friend's in this damn community and y'all haven't even bothered to wonder how they're feeling about this bullshit. Y'all constantly wanna be like "fuck yea! Punch Nazis!" But when this shit revolves around your friends suddenly you're like.

"They were really nice to me. You can't make me pick sides. It's not ok."

You know what's not ok? Defending this shit. Acting like there's nothing wrong cuz it's IC where a bunch of those ppl have been constantly complained about cuz they say some real fucked up shit and laugh at anyone who's uncomfortable.

Just cuz it doesn't affect you personally, doesn't mean you can't have the basic decency to acknowledge this isn't ok and give voice to those who have it constantly taken away.

Like God. My heart hurts from how some of y'all don't care and are more worried about ppl unfollowing you or not getting the attention you crave than stepping up and fighting for what's right.

But hey. I hope those extra likes are worth it and your conscious feels better about it.

Just to make it clear. I don't fuck with anything related to Nazis. IC or OOC. Especially when ppl refuse to tag shit. "It's too hard." Fucking bite me. I'm mentally ill as shit but I still make an effort to keep my friends and followers feeling safe. Cuz that's what you're supposed to do.

Unfollow me. Block me. Do what you have to do. But I'm already setting my foot down on this subject.

[bihet-dragonize]

I had a blog tell me my ancestors deserved slavery, and y'all defended it and said it didn't violate terms of service, so I have to wonder what the difference between me, -an average blogger- and this "content creator" -who has ALSO been antiblack before- is. Your ToS is only every applied to white people with hurt feelings, rather than the marginalized groups that keep this dying website alive. You never listen to us when we report literal pedophiles or Nazis and you kicked every sex worker off the site but everyone -regardless of age- still complains of porn blogs following them frequently. This hallow, biased response is exactly why this site is dying.

Tumblr,

Earlier today we announced to the press that we are running a beta test program for Post+, Tumblr’s newest add-on subscription tool. Post+ is a completely optional tool that will allow creators to make some of their posts exclusive to their paid subscribers. You can read more about it right over here on our @postplus Tumblr. This feature is being tested by a small group of incredible creators on Tumblr.

We want to hear about what you like, what you love, and what concerns you. Even if it’s not very nice. Tell us. We can take it. We WANT that feedback. It helps us make Tumblr better.

What we won’t ever accept is the targeted harassment and threats these creators have endured since this afternoon. These creators are some of the most talented people around, and all they’re doing is testing out a feature. These are the people who graciously agreed to pilot a program to help us discover bugs before we open it up to all creators. These are the humans who are testing a feature that we hope will soon help thousands of Tumblr creators feel empowered, get rewarded for their efforts, and find support within their community.

Our Community Guidelines are clear: Don’t engage in targeted abuse, bullying, or harassment.

Anyone in violation of these guidelines will be dealt with swiftly and will be forced to contend with the appropriate consequences. It’s okay to tell us how you feel. It’s not okay to bully someone because you disagree with their choices.

6 Takeaways From Lifetime's 'Harry and Meghan: A Royal Romance'

Lifetime channel's fascinating fictionalization of the whirlwind romance between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aired Sunday, and it left us with a lot of things to think about -- and to be absolutely confounded by.

From the bizarrely surreal use of lions as symbolic representations of Princess Diana, to a warm, motherly representation of Queen Elizabeth II -- who really does not appreciate Netflix's The Crown -- to overtly insulting remarks about Markle's legal drama Suits, Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance covered a lot of ground while also being disconcertingly self-aware.

So, after a nearly two-hour made-for-TV movie about the royal family (several members of which are depicted in less-than-flattering, borderline reality TV villain ways, to put it mildly), here's a look at a few of the night's biggest takeaways and most head-shaking scenes.

1. Princess Diana Has Some Really Questionable Advice

The movie starts in 1997, following the death of Princess Diana, when Prince Charles took Harry and William to Africa to avoid the media spotlight.

During one flashback scene from before Diana's untimely demise, the beloved Princess (played by Bonnie Soper) is speaking with a very young Harry, where gives her son some super questionable advice: "It's OK to be naughty sometimes, so long as you don't get caught."

Which -- if Harry's wild clubbing and Nazi uniform-wearing party days that are depicted later in the film are any indication -- was a motto the impressionable prince took to heart (except the "not getting caught" part).

2. Prince Harry Is a Lion Whisperer

While in Africa as a child, Harry is sitting under a tree when a lion approaches and just looks at him. While Charles takes aim with his rifle, Harry angrily pushed the gun away, saving the wild beast.

Later in the film, Harry (Murray Fraser) awkwardly tells Meghan (Parisa Fitz-Henley) that he thinks the lion was actually a vessel for the reincarnated spirit of his late mom, which she is fully on-board with.

All these royals freaking out about Meghan besmirching the royal family's reputation seem to be ignoring the fact that Princess Diana turned into a lion and is just roaming around Botswana #ARoyalRomance

— Jurassic Clarke (@JurassiClarke) May 14, 2018

Months go by and, on the anniversary of Diana's death, Harry and Meghan travel to Africa together, where she pushes him to talk about his grief. In a fit of rage (and classic avoidance) Harry storms out of their tent, with Meghan in tow.

Soon, they come face to face with a lioness, who stares at them peacefully -- which symbolically serves as Diana approving of their relationship.

3. 'Harry & Meghan' is Bizarrely Self-Aware

From the first moments of seeing Harry and Meghan as adults, it's hard to avoid the unsettling realization that this is a biopic depicting events that happened within the last year or so. Meghan is even introduced filming an episode of Suits.

In fact, this Lifetime movie really makes a point of insulting Suits as often as possible. One character says it's "not exactly Shakespeare," while another scene tries to show how much of a self-possessed badass Meghan is by having the writers change a line in a scene because she feels like she says it "in every episode" -- then they change the line to something even more cliched.

Meanwhile, when Meghan and Harry meet with Queen Elizabeth (Maggie Sullivun), the insanely friendly monarch asks the actress if the actress was involved in the Netflix mini-series The Crown, and then complains about people making biopics about people who are still alive.

 4. Meghan's Casting Was Amazing (Other Royals… Not As Much)

When Lifetime turned to Parisa Fitz-Henley to play the stunning Meghan Markle, they couldn't have asked for a better actress (apart from getting Meghan to actually play herself, because again, all of this happened within the last two years, so she'd be perfect for the part).

Parisa looks remarkably similar to Meghan, she's got the strong, determined air and she added a lot to the role.

As for Harry, casting Murray Fraser was a decided compliment. Sure, he looks like a soap opera version of the 33-year-old royal, but you can't expect a Lifetime movie to go any other way. At least he's handsome and talented.

The strangest casting was probably Prince William, played by Burgess Abernethy. While the guy does an admirable job, the decision to give the Prince more hair than he has in real life, but still partially balding, never stopped being distracting.

Lmaoooo Lifetime did Prince William SO dirty this time... #ARoyalRomancepic.twitter.com/MUlCpFSpFQ

5. They Addressed the Racist Brooch

One of the major turning points in the film came when Harry was sulking at Pippa Middleton's wedding reception,  where he was unable to invite Meghan, and runs into some older royal relative wearing a racist "blackamoor" brooch -- which is a pin designed to look like a stereotypical depiction of an African native, representing the English empire's colonialist roots.

Harry tells her off during the party, which leads to her drunkenly insulting Meghan's biracial ethnicity. The heated exchange eventually leads Prince Charles to understand the dangers of steadfast adherence to tradition and he tells his son to bring Meghan to the party so he can meet her.

In real life, however, there are a few things that happened differently. While the Queen’s first cousin, Princess Michael of Kent, did wear a blackamoor brooch to a royal event where Meghan was, the incident occurred in December 2017, over a month after Harry and Meghan were already engaged. So that incident really had nothing to do with anyone suddenly accepting Meghan into the family.

I really hope people don’t watch this movie and actually think this is how everything went down. #ARoyalRomance

— The Petty Mess (@ThePettyMess_) May 14, 2018

Also, in real life, Meghan was invited to Pippa's wedding reception. Also, Princess Michael of Kent didn't belligerently defend her decision to wear the problematic jewelry, but instead released a statement, saying, "The brooch was a gift and has been worn many times before. Princess Michael is very sorry and distressed that it has caused offense."

Y'all they put the Princess Michael racist brooch in the movie! Lifetime is not holding back. #ARoyalRomance

6. Kate Middleton and Prince William Don't Come Off Great

While both William and Kate eventually befriend and support Meghan and Harry by the end of the movie, their attitudes throughout most of the film could best be described as Mean Girls-esque.

From making them both look pretty conniving to Kate straight-up manipulating people multiple times, it felt like someone at Lifetime really wanted to knock the Duchess of Cambridge down a peg.

Why are they making Kate and Will seem so cold? Did the creators have some hate towards them? Kate is wonderful and there is no need to put her down in order to put Meghan on a pedestal. #ARoyalRomance
