sorry not sorry to bring this up again, but

Netflix removed Palestinian movies. They (movie/tv industry) fired Melissa Barr.era, a latina actress that spoke against the genocide. They kept actors from St.ranger Thin.gs even though they openly support the genocide. They cut the scenes of May Cala/mawy, a Palestinian/Egyptian actress from a major movie. Those are the examples of the top of my head. Keeping Assad Zaman's name (a non christian name) out of the press/promotion and now out of the nomination, despite the fact that he had much more screen time than Sam, who will also be the lead the next season (so plenty time for him to shine), is just... not a coincidence.

And I don't think anyone in the US, or the world for that matter, doesn't know about these things happening, if not in the movie/tv industry, but in the world (US support of I.srael for example). So I can't accept that people that don't get (to put it mildly) why people find problematic that Assad is not nominated... don't fully know what's up. Just because some people want to pretend Assad is not a South Asian/Bengali Muslim, but a white Christian American/Brit, it doesn't make it so.

PLEASE STOP HARASSING DECK NINE DEVS AND LIS PLAYERS WHO DON'T AGREE WITH YOU.

Death threats are not okay.

Telling people to kill themselves is not okay.

Harassing people over fictional ships is not okay.

Harassing people over their opinion of a game is not okay.

Harassing already overstressed, overworked employees is not okay. ESPECIALLY since it's been documented they've been working under discriminatory and predatory management, been through multiple crunches, and have an unidentified neo-Nazi on their team who management did not properly address and fire.

You can still be critical of a game and not harass the people who made it. Hell, you can absolutely hate a game and still be respectful to the people who made it. I'm sure the creators are far more likely to listen to the fans if we give constructive criticism than if we irresponsibly and cruelly send threats.

I know most people who see this haven't sent hate, and to those people: this post isn't about you. I massively respect you for maintaining your rationality and empathy. But for those who have sent hate or are thinking of doing so, please reconsider. Sending hate isn't going to change anything; it'll only break the fandom even further apart and stress out overworked employees. If you're going to be mad, be mad at the higher-ups at Square Enix for turning the franchise into a cash cow and at the upper management at Deck Nine for overworking and alienating their employees. (Also be mad at that 1 neo-Nazi because seriously, WTF!?)

But please, even to the worst of the worst, do not send death threats or harass people.

First day of Pride and I just want to shine a light on all the trans people who are unable to transition, especially those who aren’t fresh faced university grads. Those who don’t live in a supportive or even just accepting home or community. Those who aren’t well off, those who aren’t good at or popular enough to crowd fund. Those who can’t afford transitioning. Those who can’t even transition socially or need to stay in the closet for your safety. Those who rely on benefits or unforgiving jobs to just pay the bills. Having to hear day in and day out you’re just GNC, that your pre-transition body is “ugly” and the ways you can express your gender are “cringe.” Every trans person who’s been told they aren’t “trying hard enough”. Those trans people who won’t even get to imagine transitioning for years.

I see you. I love you. You’re so undervalued and under appreciated in a world where being a white, well off 20 year old on HRT and getting surgery is more common to see than people who work full time and just don’t have that privilege. It sucks, so much. But you are loved and you are seen.

Happy Pride Month to trans people who aren’t where they want to be. The world is better with you in it. We all need each other.

why do Indians want Trump to win so badly???

[hamasniksworld]

zionist jews never seem to figure out that them feeling "uncomfortable" or "attacked" by critique of zionism is a form of white fragility akin to when white racists are called out and get extremely defensive about it. this weaponization of fear is pretty on par with people who believe in the great replacement theory, the "we're terrified because people are trying to get rid of our way of life" when said 'way of life' is white supremacy

[claudeleine]

it’s honestly sickening seeing how many ppl are openly declaring that they don’t give a fuck about palestine and immigration anymore bc they blame arabs and latines for trump winning, or as usual saying shit like the south deserves natural disasters. like you genuinely have worms for brains if THAT is your takeaway. there’s so much to say about why this perspective is wrong on every level and how the numbers don’t even support it, but at the core of it, the ppl behaving like this are shining examples of why the democratic party continues to fail. and honestly they probably never cared in the first place or were involved in anything to support these communities outside the ballot box, bc true solidarity is not transactional and if you were really in it, you wouldn’t switch up so quickly. like liberals are really out here telling ppl to boycott businesses owned by arabs in michigan and blaming kamala’s loss on all palestinians (even those literally in gaza and even those who voted for kamala), saying they’re going to call ICE on undocumented immigrants bc their relative voted for trump, and saying they’re going to report a woman who went out of state to get an abortion bc she may be a trump supporter, etc. the “we’re drinking starbucks again” bs is just the tip of the iceberg. wishing harm on marginalized communities, spewing hateful rhetoric, and engaging in the same violence as trump supporters bc your candidate lost is just sick. if your immediate response is to turn to racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, etc. - what you hate about trump is right there inside you.

"Penelope has insecurities!" As an excuse for her harming others because of those said insecurities falls very flat when it puts the character's, who live during a time of few options especially if you were a women, at risk. And even with her insecurities, her lashing out and hurting people should be held in the same regard as how some view Cressida, who didn't get the luxury of a view into her home life until s3, unlike Penelope, and while it still has people calling out this behavior, although rightfully so, it often still includes denying that Penelope needs to take accountability as well.

I was being completely normal (not) and was scrolling through your old posts in your richonne tag, and I saw an interview Andy gave in 2017 where he said Michonne was the love of Rick's life. And we have bitter antis in 2024 with their panties in a twist because Rick actually says it? I have to laugh. Anyways, thanks for being as unhinged about Richonne as I am. I'm glad tumblr made you a fan way back when (I watched the show from the start and began shipping them in s4).

listen idk how to be normal either, so i'm definitely not judging! i'm pretty flattered in fact and I hope you enjoyed my 2017-era richonne brainrot! I think it's only gotten worse since towl took an already God Tier ship to an entirely different level lol so thank YOU (and everyone else who understands the obsession) for being unhinged with me ❤️ and just because I'm always curious about what made richonne click for people. what made you start shipping them in season 4?

yeah, people have always been bitter and/or confused about richonne and ESPECIALLY about how in love rick is with michonne. and while I think there are some people who might have genuinely just not have been paying attention because those characters are not their priority (which I get personally, as rick and michonne and people immediately tangential to them are my ONLY priority so I completely missed the sasha/abraham build up for example) as we all know most of the time the bitterness stems from thinly veiled (and sometimes not veiled at all) racism and misogynoir. which makes it all the more satisfying that andrew lincoln is not only patient zero of richonne brainrot disease but has exponentially doubled down about it over the years. idk how much that was an intentional response to the pushback richonne got since he's famously offline BUT it's still endlessly gratifying that he's constantly and unfailingly vocal about how much he loves the ship, michonne, and danai to the point where just as rick grimes isn't doing shit without his soulmate michonne, andrew lincoln isn't doing shit related to twd without his leading lady danai gurira. the second that man had an ounce of creative control he had rick declare his undying love for michonne at every available opportunity so if they haven't gotten the point by now I guess their panties are staying twisted forever. sucks to be them I guess!

tbqh I Am not looking forward to ppl judging others for who they romance in da:tv, especially if it's a popular romance :< ppl kept doing that till at least 2021 with solavellans and cullenmancers. and idk if they are mainly minding their own business and just sharing what they love they should be left alone.

esp if the solavellan or cullenmancer is a poc. I've seen far too many ppl send hate to poc for romancing solas or cullen, almost implying that bc they are a poc, then they shouldnt be romancing a white male character, which is Just so fucking gross especially if you're a white person doing this (and tbqh it's always white ppl who are doing this)

this is just me being petty over fandom-nonsense, but as a poc whos been reading dunmeshi for 6+ years, seeing white anime-onlys make posts about the characters of color that are inaccurate at best (and racist at worst) while woobifying white characters is so annoying

feeling like thistle, get these white interlopers out my dungeon

The audacity...

Oh, wow, how nations with ancient histories popular to the west missed hearing westerners calling us inept to care for our heritage! We don't get our dose as much these days and this polite Murican with a Norse myth "love" took care to remind us 😂They really don't make colonialists like they used to, so thank you Fenrir!

not ah00b posting cc that (once again) looks almost identical to other stuff he’s released.

how many graphic crop tops and behind-the-ear white girl hairs do these creators think we want…? it’s laughable at this point

tbh I don't really use early access cc anymore (trying to keep the unnecessary stuff out of my folder as much as possible) so I havent kept up with them, but i will say I always liked ayoshi's clothes and used them a lot back in the day. prob the only ea cc I kinda miss out my folder. he was always respectful towards me and in response to criticism so points for that too. but maybe I'm just used to crybabies and insults lol. ah00b's hairs are nothing im interested in and pretty same-y but we been knew that. personal taste. crop tops are boring but as long as they learned their lesson about putting out the same exact top/hairs for sale in different releases more than once im not hatin. and I think they did cos I havent really seen any complaints from ppl about that since, unless I just missed it. as long as they ain't scamming they can do what they want ig. paywall simblr is a marketplace that caters to basic white ppl, whatcha gonna do. more than ah00b, its a trend across all the sims small business bureau so. idk im tired 😂

shout out to selfshippers of color!

whether your f/o(s) come from the same background as you, or different ones, may you come together as one in your love for each other. romantic, platonic, familial, etc doesn’t matter, your love knows no bounds.

proshippers welcome, have a lovely day

[martyrbat]

blocking so many people tonight because how the hell do you post this without an ounce of self shame? 'there are people out there who are just as scared as you are' are you including the people your candidate has funded a genocide against? are you including the people Israel targets and opresses with the US regularly funding its crimes against humanity? the people who cant just go have a snack and talk to their friends because they watch their friends be murdered and theyre facing starvation? are you including the people you called the genocide of as a necessary sacrifice and something thats a 'lesser evil'? do you take into account their fear and trauma for a year of nonstop bombings, drones, missiles, shootings, invasions, etc?

'the world is going to be tense' its already fucking tense, you people just dont give a shit about anyone that isnt white or cant play into your ultimate victim complex to excuse your eager participation in genocide. you cant call for people to just 'survive' when you helped put a heavy asterisk next to who exactly expected to stay living if your war criminal wins.
