#the kkk started again largely because of a movie

[childrensrightsrehumanrights]

If you’re fighting for children’s rights and safety and you’re also fighting to normalise and romanticise child abuse in fiction or real life, you are not fighting for children’s rights.

Children are an oppressed class and the media is used to reinforce oppression and bigoted mindsets against minorities.

Fiction is one of the most powerful tools of propaganda we have. Art can and has changed societies.

If your art is validating bigoted ideologies, you are validating bigoted ideologies.

It might not be real, but your audience is.

​It’s fine and helpful to discuss oppression and other upsetting themes in art, but to validate them is a different story.

Like I said last night I’ve been peeved for a while now about the overemphasis on films needing to start  with story. and how if the images take more importance the film is lesser because of it. I want to talk about this first before looking at Queen and Slim. This is a broader problem that informs how lacking the Q&S discourse has been.

Why does a medium which does not exist without images have to start with story. What is so commanding about “First, then, meanwhile, & the end” that dictates primacy over the one element of the medium that it cannot exist without?

the conflation of substance = story and style = cinematography, editing and in addition that substance is a moniker of quality while style unshackled to story is indulgent and lesser is  fucking stupid. 

Movies are visual. You don’t have a motion picture without moving pictures. That’s very rudimentary but its true. To imply that cinematic images and how they are collated are not substantive is just dumb. Worse is saying they only have substance when “serving” the story, which has an inherent substance to it. Most cinematic stories are not substantive.Especially in the CIA propaganda machine known as Hollywood. The shit is supposed to be dumb so you get it. 

The relationship between image and story in film is more crude and elementary than that same relationship in a children’s picture book. What is written is also what is drawn. What is dramatized is also what is dialogued, shot, edited, heard. If that is the blueprint for how filmmakers, critics, and watchers can talk about cinematic images then we’re in trouble.

Eisenstein ~100 years ago laid out a very clear analysis of how images in conversation with other images communicate and how you can manipulate those relationships to particular ends. And this is not counting the broader history of visual art like painting. To dismiss images as just beautiful is a complete disservice to critical discussion of cinema. An image can be racist but if the lighting is good and the movement slick, it’d be looped into the category of good cinematography. 

If images have meaning then it stands to reason that both what the message of the image is and the clarity with which that message is articulated are (at the very least can be) substantive & the only way to figure that out is to critique it. Meaning investigating why such images work beyond just that they were pretty or distracting. Distraction is a tool many artists use so it isn’t necessarily a negative if the cinematography is getting you to notice it and not a particular story detail.

___________________________

So that brings us to the most popular discourse about Queen and Slim. Most of the critique is about how bad the story is and how corny the politics embedded in that story are. But, where people give it credit is in it’s “good” cinematography.

That’s where the general discussion ends. Maybe something about melanin that pops but nothing about the politics of the image. Nor whatever else the images are communicating and how. I haven’t seen Q&S so I can’t speak to that. But I can talk about the general trends of cinematic image making around modern black images.

Even to call the cinematography “beautiful” or “good” without describing what that means is folly. Where does your definition of beauty come from and how is this cinematography achieving it? Is a film’s aesthetic steeped in the tradition of cinema birthed by KKK propaganda? Is your notion of beauty? Or are they embedded in community and tradition?

This was the first lesson at Howard. If your story matters so much then why are you telling it with a language that was largely created by european colonialism and american white nationalism. Can you locate where your art is coming from?

Day 2 they sat us down with Chester Higgins’ Elder Grace and said if you don’t have the same passion and reverence for black ppl, especially our elders, in your cinematography as in this book then you might as well pack it on up and head home. i see little passion and reverence in modern cinematography as it relates to black ppl. most of it looks like a bad vogue photoshoot.

Everyone is biting off Belly. But Hype (dir), Malik (dp), Christian (gaff), and Sharyn (hmua) all did rigorous testing to get that look and had endless debates over the intention and politics of the images they were creating. All these belly-lite shows and movies are just slicking up actors in some oil, throwing up a rosco 74 gel, and calling it a day. all  without cooking in the lab.

Rooney & I had a convo on here before: a lot of this new black cinema has been lensed by white ppl and so much of the culture surrounding these images have their gaze embedded in them. A black director cannot meaningfully have the debates Hype &  company were having when their dp and gaffer are white. white dps can only have a technical know how of how to light and lens black ppl. & most of these images feel very technical in a way that is not so dissimilar to say eric clapton playing robert johnson.

Out of the whole slate of films that have come out shot by white ppl only one (1) single shot has moved beyond just replicating the black visual aesthetic that HU has laid out. And let’s not get it twisted. Daughters of the Dust, Belly, and Mother of George run modern cinematography. all with the dp and gaffer coming from or adjacent to HU. in each case there was the rigorous testing and debate.

This half-assed replicating of the past aesthetic (especially Belly) also points to a stagnation of culture. Brad, AJ, Malik, Christian have all moved on from those seminal films. They thought through and executed their visions and went back in the lab to cook something new. Or at least try again if it didn’t work out the next time. But there still a growth in that because they had to adjust ie do something new.

I saw a director on twitter talking about how important story is and how we are resting too much on good cinematography (Coincidentally they’re also loud about Q&S but their lil sundance film relies on the same performative blackness). When I tell yall that the ending shot of their film, which is held for a while, is the reason why Beyoncé said “you cant put black girls in blue light.” I mean to tell you that this shot is the reason why Beyoncé said “you cant put black girls in blue light.”

Beyoncé was wrong of course. Hype does it all the time. Beyoncé even started doing it. & its fire. But this black director and their nonblack DP didnt go to the lab and cook.

Comedic Relief (Probably the Last One?)

Guess I'm back to talking about Gruvia, huh? Happy International Men's Day, by the way.

I have been on a few different sides of the "fiction affects reality" debate. I used to be for it, but not so much anymore. It's not that I don't think society can be affected by the existence of a fictional media. (The thing we ought to be arguing when it comes to this.) I just don't think it's as simple as "fictional work exists and society changes because of it". I'm pretty sure these things are made much easier by factors outside of the work where the influence would be different or even nonexistent if it were the product of a different time. 

The quintessential example of this a rather infamous example of this argument: D.W. Griffiths' Birth of a Nation. For those outside the know, it's a 3-hour silent movie from 1915. It has a 100% rating from Rotten Tomatoes, largely for revolutionizing film techniques made standard today. It also happens to be cartoonishly racist. To the point of its climax involving the KKK "saving" a town from the black people "taking over" the town. I had to watch it for a college US History class because it's regularly cited as the reason for a resurgence in the KKK during the 20th century. (tfw you originally wrote this before the Charlottesville and the KKK is still culturally relevant.) 

The issue I've come to have with this narrative is that it ignores some important facts about the time it came out. Birth of a Nation came out in 1915, only about 30 years after Reconstruction from the Civil War ended as a near failure and 20 after Plessy vs Ferguson established the Jim Crow era. People were already coming up with the Myth of the Lost Cause, essentially excusing the South's obvious racism as a reason for secession. This theory was purported, in part, by former Princeton professor and president Woodrow Wilson. If that name sounds familiar, it's because he'd end up becoming President of the United States from 1912-1920, notably when the film was shown at the White House.  

To me, this film was more of a spark igniting an issue long doused in fuel more than an introduction of an issue not yet known. People didn't see this movie and decide the KKK was a good idea, especially considering they had been previously labeled a terrorist organization before getting shut down. This movie was a critical domino in a long line of dominoes leading to the KKK's resurgence. 

Why bring all this up exactly 435 words before Gruvia is mentioned a second time?

Simple, the ship has been argued to be capable of affecting reality. Now, I'm not a big fan of Gruvia. I feel like I've softened up on the ship since the series ended, but I still don't love it. I have even argued that stuff being fictional is bad on the merit of not being thought through or played out well by its creator. (That is not to say that writers can't handle problematic topics.) But I can't say that this exact claim is true with Gruvia. 

What do I have to worry about Gruvia affecting? Partnerships where the guy's word is taken as less credible as his female partner's? Even ignoring how unpopular Fairy Tail is among the general anime/manga community, and how much of a niche that community even is in the world, do I think Gruvia would be even close to a cause for this becoming a mainstream issue?  

Fun fact: if you couldn’t tell I started writing the first draft of this post with the intention of it to be ready about three years ago. If I could say that in a pre-MeToo era, I can't say that now. (And many would argue that I couldn't have said that then either.) Consider that we live in a society where, earlier this year, people were mad that a major inciting incident for Rising of the Shield Hero was a false sexual assault accusation earlier in the year. Like I’d be more sympathetic towards this if people weren’t mad at this fictional series didn’t also shoot the idea of false sexual accusations down as “so incredibly unlikely as to be unrealistic”.

If anything, the fact that people consider the more messed up stuff Juvia has done to be "comedic relief" proves that this is already an issue our society has. I’ve said this about her part in the anime version of Special Request. I’ve said this about her dealing with Gray’s rejection during the Grand Magic Games. I’ll say it again: Juvia does a lot of stuff that’s pretty messed up and I'm not sure people would treat it funny if the genders were swapped.

All that being said, I don't know how to feel about how Mashima seems to be plotting to make Gruvia canon. The issue with Gruvia, as I have interpreted it, has been if Gray is willing to accept Juvia's feelings for him. Since the events of the Alvarez Empire arc, it seems like Gray doesn't feel worthy of Juvia's feelings. He wants to become worthy of Juvia's affections. 

One the one hand, I get that he would have this issue considering this is Gray "almost used Iced Shell three times" Fullbuster, we're talking about. That he feels like he messed up and doesn't deserve another chance is almost exactly what drives him to use Lost Iced Shell in the last arc. I remember him saying that scars are cool to have in the second-worst arc in the series. It's pretty cool (for Gruvia shippers) that the final arc ends with him saying that he wishes Juvia's scars were his. These aren't feelings that are entirely out of place for him to have. 

On the other hand, I can't say that, of the two people in the relationship, Gray being the one who is being made to see the error of his ways is a good thing. Like, in canon, Juvia considered Frosch to be a love rival. There's even a cover in the sequel hinting at this. Isn't the fact that this is even potentially a running joke a little bit too much? That's not even going over some of the other stuff the anime has added into the mix for its fans like 413 Days and her part in Special Request. I don't love that Gray is made to feel bad for not liking Juvia and Juvia isn't criticized for her outlandish behavior regarding Gray. 

I think I've sounded enough like an MRA for one day...

I’m starting to get into the swing of making long posts again, outside of rewriting Fairy Tail. I figured I should start with a topic that’s been on my hypothetical “things to post list” for way, way too long. Even as I’m working on that now, it feels good to make posts like this again and I have a few more in the works. Hopefully, I’m not the only one excited over some of these posts.

[staticespace]

Potentially unpopular opinion: I disagree with many of the critics’ score and reviews on Rotten Tomatoes when it comes to The Shack (2017).

Did I feel like the premise and main character was a little hokey at times? Yeah. Did I feel like the Christian tropes were kind of repetitive? Yah.

Did I feel like those made it a bad movie? Not overall, no. In fact, it has a rewatchability factor imo.

I loved the road to recovery (even if it was quick, but hey, it’s a movie). I loved non!white Trinity (because the Bible and it’s stories come from an African country, like, cmon now).

Most of all though, even if the overall message is repetitive when compared to other Christian movies, it’s all about presentation and the underlying motives and messages, and those made the overall message that much more special to me.

Some critics said that it was unrealistic when compared to modern Christianity, but it’s not. This is a perspective of Christianity from modern people. This Christianity and perspective of God still exist, even if Westboro Baptist Church and the KKK and the fascist agenda preach otherwise much more loudly. Being spoken over doesn’t mean the perspective doesn’t exist.

Some critics said that it didn’t address real life issues. But…it’s about a man trying to find closure over the murder of his daughter??? That’s a real life issue, yo.

Some critics said that it was just a “love and forgive and God doesn’t judge fest”. Well, hey, some of us believe that’s how He works, y'know? The movie even addressed that some folks think God works differently (which, many do. I mean, there’s at least 3 whole religions with their own subcultures based off of one Godhead).

Anyway, it acknowledges the healing factor of forgiveness while addressing that you won’t instantly be okay. It’s a process of healing for yourself, to benefit yourself. It’s the release of emotions for your own benefit, even if it takes a long time–starting the process is the most important part.

It acknowledges the evil pervasive in this world, the causes of that evil, the perpetuators of the evil, and the ways we can strive to do better. It acknowledges our fears–that God isn’t listening, that God caused it, that God seemed to never come. It addresses those fears, and gives answers to them–I know everyone may not be satisfied with those answers, but I was.

I’m not going to act like I haven’t said “God, I’ve heard this sermon before, why do I have to hear it again?” But a large part of learning is repetition. We didn’t hear 2+2=4 and instantly understand it. We didn’t see a picture with the word “cat” with a cat on it and immediately understand what a “cat” was. We have to learn to memorize and keep in mind things by repeating them.

Vocal languages without writing have stayed around this long because of repetition. It’s a custom in many cultures to do a certain thing repeatedly for future generations to remember it. It’s no different in Christianity.

So even if it’s a movie and feels like an, as a critic said, “overly long sermon”, I don’t think that should lower the importance of the message. Of course, the book might be better, but as a movie, I feel like it does a lot of things right.

Basically, I don’t think it deserves a 22% on Rotten Tomatoes, but hey, that’s just me.

[representativecharacters]

What characters can be submitted?

In short, whatever groups are underrepresented in the media. This includes, but is not limited to, the following groups:

LGBT+ members

POC characters.

Characters with disabilities

Characters with mental illnesses.

Addiction 

Religious characters*

*This will be on a case by case basis; if the character is, say a Christian in America, they will not be accepted as they are already thought to be the norm. However, if a character is from a region where it is underrepresented (ex. Christians in India) they may be included.

Are there any characters that can’t be submitted? 

Yes. representation has to be canon, number one. Non-canon examples, such as queerbaiting, will not be accepted. Please remember that fanon =/= canon. Although some headcanons are popular within a fandom, they do not count as actual representation - and this doesn’t mean the blog doesn’t love those headcanons, but this blog is about canon rep that people can watch and explicitly see rep in/is known for this representation. Examples include: 

Dean Winchester from Supernatural - not a canon mlm character

Harry Potter - not a canon desi character

Peter Parker from the MCU - does not canonically have ADHD 

Characters who are heavily represented - if a character is a white Christian man, for example, they are already represented heavily in the media. While they can obviously be important to you, they are not meant for this blog. 

Characters who have threatened, attempted, or did rape another character. 

Pedophilic characters, including “non-acting” characters. 

Characters involved in hate groups (such as Nazis, KKK, etc.). For superhero/fantasy groups - if the character had to do it for a job, or was brainwashed, or realized they were wrong and stopped, they may be submitted, but characters who knowingly and willingly went along may not be submitted. 

These are submissions that I will not accept under any circumstances; if I am aware/made aware that these characters fall under any of these categories, the submission will be deleted. I also reserve the right to deleted submissions that may also be triggering/offensive that aren’t mentioned here. 

Does the representation have to be canon?

Yes. There are many blogs who will take non-canon submissions (who will be added soon), but we want to celebrate the characters who are canonically representing specific groups. Therefore, we will not accept queerbaiting, or any other implied subtext - we would like canon examples as a reference for people who want to see themselves represented.

In this case, canon counts as:

Explicitly stated in-canon: If the content specifically has the character say: “I am ____”, that is the most ideal form of canon representation, or if it’s stated by another character (*in terms of they know the character is this, instead of speculating). This tends to supersede all other forms of representation (ex. if a character says in-show they’re pan but an actor or writer later says they consider them bi, the pan label stands, as that was what was shown/portrayed/stated to the audience watching).

Shown in-canon: Unfortunately, most shows don’t have characters explicitly stating their rep. But, they do at least show it - for example, Tony Stark clearly has signs of a panic disorder throughout the Marvel series (not in a one-off episode like procedurals or superhero shows may show). There can be speculations on what it is, and signs point to PTSD, but it’s not explicitly mentioned. So, a submission for him would be “mental illness”. Or, a character who’s expressed attraction to men, women, and/or nonbinary people may be largely considered bi in fandom, but a submission would say “mspec”, “mlm”, or “wlw” as we do not know the specific label used.

Actor-stated: if the content shows the character as [xyz] and the actor gives a specific label, it is fine to submit the character as what the actor says (ex. Sara Lance in Arrow wasn’t stated to be bi until years later on LOT, but she was in a relationship with both a male and female character at points in the show, and her actress specifically stated that she is bi throughout this time). 

Word of God: There may have to be an “issues” section in these submissions due to the fact that many Word of God (aka creator-stated) rep isn’t explicit to the audience, but it still counts as canon as it comes straight from the creator 

Coded representation: This is the one I want to be most careful with, especially because there are many coded characters - of all types, but I’m going to go with characters coded to be gay/ace/lesbian/etc. in this example. I don’t want to accept say, queerbaiting, as representation. I generally reserve this for shows/books/movies/etc. that had to censor their representation due to the network they were on (ie. Leverage, Legend of Korra) or had to be careful due to the time period (ex. queer-coded characters in Old Hollywood movies). 

We prefer canon examples that explicitly show or state the representation in the piece itself; however, we understand that certain types of representation can be hard to find, and will accept a writer’s words to be canon. 

Can I submit a character with [x] representation? 

In most cases, absolutely. Historically on this blog, submissions tend to fall under these umbrellas: religious, disorders, disabilities, sexuality, race, and abuse survivors. However, there can definitely be other characters submitted who don’t “fit” into any of those umbrellas, and if you’re unsure, shoot me an ask!

Are there other blogs I can submit to?

We accept all characters, but we would love to suggest other blogs that also take in character sheets/submissions - and who will take both canon and non canon sources.

@c-ptsdcharacteroftheday

@bi-characters

@transcharacters

@jewishcharacteroftheweek

@acecharacters

How do I submit? 

You can either use the submit button (while following this template) or this submission via google forms. 

 I want my submission to be anonymous

If you submit via submission box, please specify that you want to be anonymous! If you submit via Google forms, there’s an option right there on the form. 

Can I request [x] character? 

Absolutely! Just double-check that they’re not already on our requests list

Can I submit a character with [x] representation? 

In most cases, absolutely. Historically on this blog, submissions tend to fall under these umbrellas: religious, disorders, disabilities, sexuality, race, and abuse survivors. However, there can definitely be other characters submitted who don’t “fit” into any of those umbrellas, and if you’re unsure, shoot me an ask! 

What’s the posting schedule? 

As of right now, the submissions have been on Mondays & Fridays at 1 PM, and should the schedule change; I’ll update it.

I submitted a character, but they aren’t in the queue. Should I resubmit? 

Please give me a 1-2 week waiting time. I’m currently in school, studying for two boards, and will be starting rotations in the summer, so I’m not always on Tumblr, and when I am, it’s to relax on a break. If I haven’t updated anything within 2 weeks, please shoot me an ask or chat!

I don’t think [x] counts as representation/Why did you allow [x] to be submitted/Other clear discourse asks: 

Discourse will not be tolerated on this blog, and if you send it you’re literally just wasting your time. I’m not going to argue with people on what representation is the “most” important or valid, and this is about celebrating the different and varied types of rep out there.

There was a mistake/update on [x] submission: 

Please message or PM me for this instead of commenting on the post, as I might miss that notification. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible (again, please give me a grace period for responses) and update/correct a submission if needed.  

[placetobenation]

Welcome to the Wednesday Walk Around the Web, where we weave & wind through weblinks weekly. Hopefully you will find the links on offer amusing, interesting, or informative.

This week’s Walk comes with a content warning for murder, white supremacy, abuse, and other miseries that define our moment.

It’s hard to know what to even say and what to even do when the most powerful organized crime syndicate in the US, the cops, start rioting once again in revenge for the mere suggestion that they shouldn’t murder so many black people in cold blood, that a mob with a habit of strangulation should be held to account for its crimes, that buffoons who fall off of their murdermobiles and immediately pepper-spray an empty crosswalk should not have access to lethal weaponry and the tools of chemical warfare, that thugs who openly drive into groups of people should be met with more than utter cowardice on the part of politicians who supposedly have authority over them.

Likewise, it’s hard to know what to even say when the president has protestors tear-gassed so he can stage a Christofascist photo op.

So what can one say? The most important voices to listen to on the white supremacy baked into the United States (et alia) and seeping out of every crack in its national edifice are the voices of those in the communities that are targeted. Historian Keisha N. Blain sketches the context of the current uprisings. Historian Carol Anderson does something similar highlighting the complicity & active participation of cops & government in Jim Crow-era lynchings, in parallel to the ropeless lynchings we see today. Some time ago, Samuel Sinyangwe described his data-driven analysis of what does (demilitarization, investing in more appropriate first responders) and does not (body cams, skin-deep training sessions) work to curb the brutality of law enforcement, with much more detail here.

And what can one do? You can go protest, of course — in full consideration of limited precautionary measures for protesting during the pandemic (as well as methods of treating and cleaning up after tear gas assaults) and if you’re not immunocompromised or otherwise particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. You can give to bail funds if able. You can film the thugs when you see them prowling the streets.

Not all methods of fighting back can be as large-scale as seizing a police precinct. Acts of solidarity can come from near or far, like bus drivers in Minneapolis who refused to collaborate with the cops to abduct protestors en masse, or even K-pop fans who flooded the Dallas cops’ video-snitching app with videos of their favorite artists.

Facebook, for its part, amplifies fascist propaganda and pretends that some of its employees have a conscience about it while simultaneously suspending someone who does valuable work with historical photos for��posting the photos.

One last note on Minneapolis: Feeling that the Minnesota governor’s response lacks a certain element of total acquiescence, Minneapolis cops’ union president Bob Kroll has been conspiring with the state’s senate majority leader to stage a coup and seize control of the state’s National Guard from the governor.

RIP Tony McDade, a black trans person murdered by cops. Due to this and the ongoing pandemic concerns, the LGBTQIAP+ community has decided to skip Pride Month and proceed directly to Wrath Month.

This Week in History: On June 1st 1927, Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK rally.

The US Supreme Court rejected a California church’s attempt to spread COVID-19 in the most efficient way it can via business-as-usual services. Barely, in a 5-4 decision, sparking a blistering dissent from Justice Blackout O’Rapist.

Perhaps it doesn’t speak to the better angels of our nature to think about a group of people in terms of their worst members, but I can’t help but gawk in the manner of a zoo-going child at evangelical Christians like this man who spent ten years stewing about one of his daughter’s exes, then wrote him a letter strewn with scriptural demands for restitution via Dorian Grayification, as an alternative to literal slavery. This touches on so, so many things: the desperate yearning to limit and control women’s sexuality that the concept of virginity derives from; the vicious possessiveness people feel over their children; the emotional fragility and inability to express oneself in any way other than ludicrous anger that lies at the heart of mainstream masculinity; the cultlike echo chamber that surrounds these people to the extent that they start claiming to have literally seen a literal hell; the misuse of and entitlement to Jewish scripture by Christian conservatives…there’s an entire sociology curriculum here, plus some theology studies on the side.

We’ll now turn to matters other than the gaping maw of despair actively swallowing us whole. This Week in Actual Possible Consumer Products: The Testicuzzi is a tiny contoured hot tub intended to simmer a person’s balls. According to the official website it started as a riff between friends, who shortly launched R&D on it through the power of excess expendable income and/or venture capitalist investment — truly a vivid demonstration of late-capitalist decadence.

So, how’s at-home schooling going for everyone toward the end of the school year? Not so great, it seems, for students whose AP exams weren’t accepted because the submission systems can’t open their photos.

Deepfakes don’t need to be dystopian nightmares — they can also bring us Notorious B.I.G.’s rendition of Modern Major General.

This Week in Things I Learned About Computer History: Task Manager, one of the most valuable and most useful additions to Windows, was a side project one programmer tinkered on on his own time. This was also the same person who wrote Space Cadet Pinball, so he performed two great services to computing culture.

I’m sure emergency room workers can develop a sort of gallows humor about the more absurd parts of their jobs, such as one ER that maintains a display of fishing lures extracted from patients.

“It was all a dream!” is a popular oh-so-edgy fan theory about movies & TV shows, often a crude way of jamming a childhood favorite into a blinkered view of adult seriousness. Folks really need to cool it.
