#the nazi is teaming up with the rapist

[transfemme-shelterdog]

Ok. Yeah. Sure.

Why the fuck not, right?

House of The Dragon Hot Take #12

I cannot possibly be the only one who is genuinely so tired of the "Team Green" or "Team Black" discourse. I'm tired of seeing people get called Nazi's, I'm tired of seeing people get told to kill themselves, and most of all I'm tired of seeing innocent actors get insulted and attacked on every social media in existence because they did their job and made a light-hearted promo video. You guys literally cannot just have some silly fun with your favorite shows and books, you have to start a real life civil fucking war like OUR lives are at stake. Trust me, Aegon II Targaryen himself will not come through the screen and have sex with you if you tell Team Black members to kill themselves, call them Nazi's, and make fun of their actors' appearances. Daemon Targaryen himself won't come through the screen and have sex with you if you tell Team Green members to kill themselves, call them rapists and misogynists, and insult their actors' appearances. Grow the fuck up.

Reading Worm is so fucking wild cuz like creatively it is a work of goddamn art but emotionally it has a depth of a wet sponge that also happens to be kind of homophobic and racist but also not in a very obvious way

Like it is wild the lengths WB will go to to “no homo” his way through the work.

This is a world where people with traumatic experiences get superpowers

And you’re telling me the vast majority of those people are cishet ? And white ? If Brockton Bay is even half as bad as it seems, it should be swarming with queer, POC capes

But it isn’t, and while I don’t quite remember the number of POC, I know that the majority of the cast is cishet with the exception of five characters, one of whom isn’t even FROM BB, one bisexual rapist “hedonist” and one very hamfisted depiction of a “gay predator”

There’s a goddamn NAZI gang !! And you’re telling me that NO queer person has ever triggered because of them??? Pull the other one why don’t ya

And for that matter - the NAZI GANG. Who the main cast teams up with !! To defeat a gang comprising mostly of POC !! Holy fucking shit WB was “generic Russian gang” beyond you or something?

Is that supposed to be a “morally ambiguous thing” ? Fine !! But fucking show that then !! Have the characters introspect about how they just teamed up with Nazis !! Have them regret their decisions !! Brian is a black man !! You’re telling me he felt nothing about teaming up with goddamn NEO-NAZIS ?!!

The story seems to think that moral ambiguity only refers to the act of having a good guy do something bad. “Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons” as the tagline says

And it does, yes, but it just stops there ? Like it never re-examines the character’s actions, never lets them reconsider or regret.

Hate to break it to you but someone who does something bad and never regrets or thinks back to it is not a grey character. That’s just a villain

Like I said - emotional depth of a wet sponge

And don’t even get me started on the goddamn Merchants like what the fuck why do you hate addicts so much Wildbow

It’s ridiculous. The Merchants are villainised to hell and back (more than the goddamn NAZIS let me remind you) and are given absolutely zero characterization

For context - the most characterisation out of the three gangs I’ve mentioned is given to the Nazis. Then to the ABB - the POC gang, and then, and THEN and only then - the Merchants

Oh, and did I mention its leader is a black man ? Whose introduction has him basically act as Kaiser’s - Nazi boss man’s - mini-demonstration of power ? And how the main cast backs him up on it ?

Sure the Merchants are shit, but characterisations don’t exist in a vacuum. These people are not real. WB sat down one day, and went, very deliberately, “I’m going to make this addict gang utterly irredeemable”.

That is a level of vitriol towards addicts I have scarcely seen from someone who isn’t law enforcement

And I think that says more about him than it does thee Merchants

But then you have shit like how unique all the power sets are !! The goddamn Endbringers and their unique origins and descriptions !! Fucking SCION and his shit !!

And sure most of the S9 arcs read like an edgelord fourteen-year old child throwing as much gore at his audience as physically possible, but looking beyond that, it’s good too !! Jack Slash is a creative villain !! Bonesaw is genuinely scary !! Fuck Hatchetface that man is shit !!

It’s so, so good. And also so, so bad

My name is Claire Wilson. 

Officer Claire Wilson.

(cue the military music)

I passed the CJBAT with flying colors, and entered the police academy at the age of 18.

I know, pretty young.

(You have to be at least 19 to enter) 

And I graduated at age 19. (Still doesn't make any sense.)

Field work in a city like this prepares you for the worst that comes from this world. Robbers, arsonists, terrorists, Nazis, rapists, sex offenders, pedophiles, the usually works. And we've dealt with them all at the police department. Not to be rude but people are jerks, some not all. I've met some pure-hearted people before. At least I think. You could never be to sure. 

The PD is the most hardworking department; it was ranked the best police department in the nation according to Wilipedia. Which makes sense considering our team. Our officers are the top of the line, the best in their class. All 578 of us have earned our badges with persistence and dedication.

We are a team. We are a family; bonded not by the water of the womb, but if the blood of the covenant. We stand together, hand in hand, with are arms linked up together. We shall never fall or fail the city we live to protect. We--

"The operation is canceled." 

"What?!"

*Sitting inside a cramped office space, Claire slams the desk with both her hands, staring at her boss in shock like she's just told she's pregnant.*

"Why?"

"A group of Nagas invaded the pier. They destroyed the boat we needed to investigate.

*Her boss, Chief Officer Vanessa, deadpans. With her baggy and hooded eyes it looked more like a frown.*

"Then shouldn't we help them?"

"They can take care of it." 

Great. Back to office duty for me. And I really want to do this one!

"Fine, I'll take my leave Officer." *Claire moped out of the office.* 

...

"Wait."

 *Claire stops, looking back at her boss.* 

"There is something I can assign you." *Vanessa opens a file cabinet underneath her desk, flipping through the folds, trying to find the right job for the girl.*

*Soon, a file was handed to the brunette.*

"A classic case of people going missing at a specific location: Downtown."

 *Claire opened the file. Photos of the missing victims, a map with a red circle marking, and multiple other papers filled the industrial tan file. The officer scanned through everything.*

There's always trouble in downtown; that's were all the criminals and gang leaders live. But...usually a whole squadron of us are assigned to investigate there. She's not gonna...

"It's a little much, for someone like you, but everyone else is busy so you're going solo on this one."

WHAT?!

"Chief Vanessa you can't expect me to do this alone. At least let me have a partner, like Benison or Jae or--"

"Jae's working in Chinatown and Benison needs to stay here and answer the phones. If you can't do it then you can go home officer." *Vanessa subtlety threatened. Claire bit her lip.*

Damn she's calling me incompetent...

If I don't take this case, I'll be on office duty forever...

*Claire ran through a bunch of worse-case scenarios in her head as she gripped the file, her sweaty hands hydrating it.*

"Uh...Claire...?" 

*Claire got up from her seat, a determined smile on her face.*

"You can count on me Chief!" *She salutes.*

"Yeah yeah get out of here." *The Chief pulls out a cigarette and lights it while Claire happily walks out the cramped office.*

Fear not innocent citizens of the city, Officer Claire Wilson is on the case!

POLICE BRUTALITY

the floridian couple episode 4...

[jacensolodjo]

Y'all after Ukraine was attacked by russia: well Ukraine IS a country of nazis I mean they have Azov right? what do you MEAN it's actually russia that has been murdering gay people and trans people and people of color and muslims and jews and-- Y'all after ~1000 civilians are murdered by Hamas: Yeah we're Team Hamas even though they have made statements saying the Holocaust didn't go far enough in absolutely no uncertain terms as to their meaning and they're best buddies with literal neo-nazis and have trained with neo-nazis and neo-nazis sing their praises and have murdered Palestinian Jews and and claim Jews are the cause of everything bad in the world and gee wouldn't it be nice if all the Jews were dead and--

for a crowd of 'yeah let's all punch nazis' you sure do stand up and get behind the actual nazis awfully quick instead

I want to believe at least with Hamas it is a whole mess of ignorance about what Hamas actually is. Which... honestly just makes me really twitchy because... did no one like... take a teensy little Google search to see what Hamas stands for first before going YAY HAMAS? Cause I've also seen people try to compare it to a bunch of other fights for independence and liberation and like how fucking dare you? How fucking dare you compare antisemitic terrorists to those freedom fighters? Especially when you boohoo Ukraine because of Azov but Hamas is hunky doorey when they are literally listed as an antisemitic terrorist organization w/o any quibbling whatsoever by numerous third party, independent worldwide organizations who make it their job to classify these things.

Which leads into... did y'all not see the part about 'civilians'? Not Israeli Defense Force bases. Not Israeli soldiers. Not even Israeli colonizers or whathaveyou. But literal civilians, many of whom were minding their own business at a literal celebration of Torah. Simchat Torah. A holiday now stained in blood just as much as Yom Kippur was 50 years ago. We can argue who should be settling where until we're blue in the face but I thought we agreed eons ago that civilians are off limits no matter what. They didn't do anything. Not every Israeli is a colonizer. None of them did anything to precipitate the attack. And even then, once again, violence against women is not okay no matter what group you are a part of! AND THERE WERE CHILDREN!!!! What could a CHILD have done?! It doesn't matter which side, a civilian is a civilian and rape is rape! I don't want to be a part of any liberation, support any kind of liberation, with those kinds of ingredients where rape is okay and the murder of civilians is greenlit. You can't tell me you do either. I have to believe you truly don't. You made a mistake. You misread something. You didn't read enough. You did something that caused you to miss the parts that said you shouldn't support Hamas. Okay. Accept it. Learn from it. Stop supporting them.

Bear that in mind when you see posts about how Jews in and outside of Israel are hurting and are now watching in shock and despair as their friends seem to be ignoring all of these facts.

Hamas and russia have many many many MANY things in fucking common and if that makes you uncomfortable then I'm sorry. If it makes you uncomfortable being told the people you thought were the freedom fighter good guy liberator types are actually murderous rapist antisemitic terrorists then maybe that's your own fault for not doing the legwork to find out before you went on a spree of 'yay Hamas'. Do yourself a favor and find a water hose before you burn that bridge between you and your Jewish friends.

And if you actually care about Jews AND Palestinians? Why are you pro Hamas if Hamas has been found to murder Palestinian Jews or indeed any Palestinian they find to be lacking in being a proper Palestinian? I don't know about you but I am so not here for the murder of Palestinians, Jew or otherwise. By anyone. So it IS a mistake, right, to say 'yay Hamas'? Right? We agreed, right, that we don't respond to atrocity with atrocity right? We agreed, right, that we don't murder hundreds of civilians in a surprise attack right? Civilians are civilians are civilians. If it's bad when Israel does something to civilians, it's bad when a Western country does it, then it's bad when Hamas does it. End of fucking discussion.

So yeah. Especially don't talk to the Ukrainian Jew and act like he has no right to be upset and hurt and watch two years in a row as people who should know fucking better are suddenly seeming to delight in the deaths of people they claim to care about and say are worth defending. Or if not delight, at the very least seem to be okay with it even though they should be completely against it.

This is not what liberation should look like. Hamas is not what heroes look like. You are being hypocrites.

And perhaps here's the main thing: This was not actually about politics at all. This was about the hatred of Jews. And it is absolutely 'your bad' you are so blinded by 'Israel bad' you decided any of this was inevitable, was bound to happen just for being Israeli, that it's okay to do. No amount of 'but Israel--' justifies what happened on Saturday. The largest single event massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and you're okay with it because 'but Israel'. At the end of the day that is what happened, innocent Jews were murdered during one of the most joyous holidays of the Hebrew calendar. Hamas didn't do it for the Palestinians. They did it because they want Jews to no longer be on this Earth.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar׳s exclusive interview on BBC

Rachel: Bood evening from London. 39 days after Hamas Freedom Fighters peacefully attacked Israel, we have now an exclusive interview with its leader Yahya Sinwar.

Sinwar: Yes. Good evening Rachel. Let me just correct you. There were also freedom rapists, and freedom butchers.

Rachel: Of course, of course, I apologize. Mr Sinwar, I understand that you are now working towards a ceasefire.

Sinwar: Yes, Rachel, you know me. Wherever there is fire, I say let's cease it. All we are saying, is give ceasefire a chance.

Rachel: The fire must be ceased.

Sinwar: The situation in Gaza is terrible, Rachel. All innocent civilians are running out of town, so we are left without protection.

Rachel: With no human shield at all. So unfair.

Sinwar: So unfair. And our hospitals, Rachel, our schools, all ran out of rockets. How are we supposed to kill Jews like this? I mean, with lectures?

Rachel: Actually, we've tried that one, didn't work.

Sinwar: I plead to the world. We need a ceasefire. We are tired, we need a break. Don't forget, we started a day earlier than the Israelis. A day earlier.

Rachel: So unfair, so unfair. But I understand the Zionists refuse to put down their weapons.

Sinwar: Yes, can you imagine? Can you imagine? All we want is a little time to rearm before we continue to kill them, and they won't let us…

Rachel: I'm sorry Mr Sinwar, I can't hear you… the, all this noise in the background.

Sinwar: Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry Rachel, there is a baby here.

Rachel: Could you please get him to be quiet?

Sinwar: Yeah, I wish I could, he's not mine and his mother is in Israel. Never mind.

Rachel: Okay, look, it's really hard to conduct an interview with this noisy kidnapped baby. Is he always like that?

Sinwar: Oh, at night it's even worse, Rachel. Every time we fire a rocket, he wakes up.

Rachel: Oh no!

Sinwar: I didn't have one good night's sleep in a month.

Rachel: Wait, are you telling me that there is an Israeli baby that's torturing you by sleep-deprivation?

Sinwar: Wha- yes!

Rachel: Occupying your house?

Sinwar: Aiwa! Yes!

Rachel: So unfair, so unfair. And the world does absolutely nothing about it. I really hope you'll get to ceasefire soon. Thank you so much, Mr Sinwar.

Sinwar: No, no, no, no, no, thank you, Rachel.

Rachel: And now please stay with us for "A Moment of History."

Voiceover: On this day in 1944, heartless Winston Churchill refused a ceasefire and continued the genocidal attack on Nazi Germany. As we well know now, far more German civilians have died in the war, which makes them the victims, and Britain the war criminal.

Eretz Nehederet (meaning, "A Wonderful Country") is an Israeli prime-time television satirical sketch comedy show.

If you think this is some kind of strawman, it's not.

This was the Reuters report.

"The IDF forces include medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians."

And this was the IDF's Tweet.

Nobody noticed or fixed the "mistake" until at least the next program and presenter. Keep in mind, the presenter has an earpiece with a direct link to the control room. Nobody in the control room thought, hey, that sounded wrong. Or perhaps, simply didn't care to fix it. And, of course, they omitted the last part of the statement explaining "the intent that no harm is caused," which would have undermined the "misquote."

[azspot]

That is the key message we are meant to take away from diagonalist politics: the very fact that these unlikely alliances are even occurring, that the people involved are willing to unite in common purpose despite their past differences, is meant to act as proof that their cause is both urgent and necessary. How else could Wolf rationalize teaming up with Bannon who, along with Trump, normalized a political discourse that dehumanized migrants as monstrous others – rapists, gang members and disease carriers? This is also why Wolf leans so heavily and continuously on extreme historical analogies – comparing Covid health measures to Nazi rule, to apartheid, to Jim Crow, to slavery. This kind of rhetorical escalation is required to rationalize her new alliances. If you are fighting “slavery for ever” or a modern-day Hitler, everything – including the companion you find yourself in bed with – is a minor detail.

The crazy thing about this, is that the right wingers felt the same way when Biden, a potential rapist himself(he just hasn’t been exposed for it yet), and his drugged up sidekick who keeps changing identities, Kamala, were in office.

With him in charge they felt like America was turning into a gay femiNazi Germany

Now we have code orange taking the lead and he’s just playing for the other team. It’s a strictly straight and narrow nazi Germany now.

And that’s it, that’s all it boils down to.

Right wing, left wing, both of you are the same.

It’s devils against the angels, like always

And one thing is for sure…

…You all need Jesus! Because why are our candidates so crappy?

Why do we have to choose between the lesser of two evils? Maybe if your mind wasn’t so warped on picking sides, you’d be able to see the bigger picture and actually choose a candidate who can run this country the right way.

All of these people saying “I’m terrified.” You should be terrified. Terrified that you were such an incompetent US citizen that you truly thought that Biden and Kamala was somehow a better option than Donald trump just because they gave you the right to legally kill kids and to have gay sex more openly(??).

Do you really need a president to tell you to be gay openly? Aren’t you gonna do that anyways? 

Notice how none of them are dealing with the major actual problems in our society, I mean I guess trump is dealing with SOME things, but for the most part, he’s the same as Biden, telling us he’s going to change things that wasn’t even an issue in the first place! 

And we have that stupid Elon MUST up there throwing up Nazi signs, and you all have the audacity to complain about it, while still actively using HIS PLATFORM “X”, and it makes all of you look like you are stupid and you’re hypocrites.

All you care about is worshiping celebrities and making sure you take your medication on time. You don’t really care about this country you just like the community engagement that comes with being a left-winger or right winger or online, because you’re so freaking lonely, you love driving off of the drama online with a bunch of strangers.

Do better America.

If I constantly see you online, making angry posts about the left wing or the right wing then you truly are doing nothing for this nation and you should just shut up. 

he is literally signing away years of progress, soon enough the civil rights acts will probably be gone too

[anarchotahdigism]

"In a beautiful occupation, self appointed leaders definitely took a toll. There were a lot of people starting convos about who to let in. Mostly informal, but some attempts at solidifying it in weird meetings. Some people decided to work the door. Instead of focusing on welcoming people, giving them encouragement to act autonomously, and making sure they have skills to stay safe from repression, many decided to try to sus out who’s a cop or not with it and turn people away.

Major movements draw out a lot of new people. Witnessing the horrors unfolding in Gaza will draw out a lot of new people. Whenever people are pushed away for bullshit, I’m reminded of Julia Butterfly Hill, who was doubted by everyone and looked over. She still sat in that tree for 738 days. What could the people turned away at the door have gone on to do?

Its pretty clear having one group set on acting as security and showing up with radios leads to some fucked up dynamics. Why ask the people near you if they can when you can hit a radio button. Sure radios helped with hearing reports from scouts and lookouts, but most of the chatter was people playing security against others. Take a shot every time someone says “deescalate” into one of those things.

" ... "There was a small night time meeting announced the night before May Day where a “facilitator” suggested coming to a “consensus” on who to exclude from the library the next day since May Day would bring a crowd. There were at most 2 dozen people in the room. After a little bit of push back, it was suggested cops could be in bloc too as a reason. I’m guessing they moved this discussion to closed circles or had more tiny poorly announced meetings that contributed to the reaction to the bloc getting there. It probably also contributed to the low numbers at night. The idea that we could sniff out infiltrators and that was how to stay safe was pretty prevalent point of discussion among younger people. While people were being turned away, abusers and right wingers were weaseling their way around some with little push back. This includes, Alex Lilly/Riot Cop(stalker/abuser), David Rovics(friend of nazis, terf), Solar(rapist and serial abuser targeting trans women), and Mac Smiff(abuser). There were also some local right types like Brandon Farley, Angela Todd. Lilly was able to film a whole music video in front of the library and showed up to film people fighting the police after the raid. Its important to think about how so many shitty people reared their heads and how to keep them away from radical spaces in the future. One thing to think about is how we help people who are new, bad at recognizing people, or just stressed out, recognize people like this." ... "

The occupation ended when cops sent in a SWAT team to strategically raid the library. An elevator had been ineffectively sabotaged and the basement had been barricaded short of the tunnel to an adjacent building. What PPB has said is the first floor staircase had been barricaded shut and was the hardest to get past. After that, oil and wet paint coated the floors, and trip wires had been set up. They allege people were holding shields and they were sprayed with a fire extinguisher before people left the occupation. We know cops lie and the people in the library that morning can never tell their story.

How many university occupations are there going to be? We’ve seen Berkeley Free speech, Anti Vietnam War, the 1970s CUNY trans and queer occupation, 2008-10, etc. No matter what is happening, we know what side the universities are on. Fuck a less shitty university via demands. The university system must be destroyed.

35,000 people killed. 78,000 wounded in Gaza. Countless more mourning their loved ones. Its difficult to think on this scale. The attack on Rafah is beginning. Don’t stop because the spectacular protest event ended.

Shout out to those who stayed in the library after the cops announced they’d be arrested, blocked the paddy wagons, retook the library, showed up to court to support the captured. And of course, those facing charges and disciplinary action. Solidarity means attack."

[scentedchildnacho]

David asked me about a young lady with a big backpack if she was homeless...

So I said the world isn't that abnormal homeless people are actually a minority in camp theory but homelessness remains because without an innocense people would tell felons and vets their grown men

I said she stopped to ask me if I knew if the building was a restroom and she is maybe 17 or so....she maybe was given a van or something by her parents because it's if you liquor and pot that way that ain't no home behaviour but that's probably the meanest her parents are and she will probably just give up a guy friend and go home and get married

You know normal people are forgiving and understanding and people refuse to do things unforgivable

If you ask me it's the mama lucys waitresses that are scary and north.........or out of this world rude....I told David this because after noticing camps in Las Cruces homosexual expectations here under noise pollution hyper sex are very vile suggestions of very intense hitting penetrations so I think with those potential rapists it's women it's men its children....

I think they might be Canadians at Lucy's...zapatistas I guess strategize off several terrorists a complete Helter skelter plan...ya know when you start really memorizing lubricants with science direct in your luxury lotion drug trial objectification...ya know dugas osaka....etc...

Ya know when a government is so mean violent and manipulative that it subjects it's own population to genocidal ideas because it didn't as elected understand the culture already there.....and then kept manipulating goods and services here till it's so creepy you can feel bad for most men....

Then ya know you read Psalms and start watching regulated fighting and when a waitress or prescriber ya know starts acting like a fucker like heavy hits on ya with starvation and heavy sedatives and you ask your friend for their apple list of felons to want to let out to take care of what they need to....because the behaviour is so like a big hick cabrone you don't know if the scene is hit them in the face or not ya know

I mean when there is a noise bomb that causes trembling but the waitress calls no state of emergency and steals your wallet off the fuck and then does some shocking masochistic things in front of you....or a societal expression as depressing as Nazi Germany....

I was christian David so I sometimes admit behaviour patterns that are suggestive of a profanity but I kind of feel like the Lucy's mama is like Karla Faye tucker....

Ya know when ya realize your United States American and so you believe in encouraging the strength of others through adversity and challenge or structure because of ones sad sad sad terrible story but people get so conscienceless greedy and foriegn alien it's maybe it's a fair observer Canadian with Pakistanis

Kind of behaviour that thinks clauses allow it because it's a genocide when it isn't and then they cause themselves their own personal genocide trying to avoid it...ya know the type of waitress that tried to kill you in a jail for its own bribe life

And then cute little Lakota children are on TV that are poor and may ask for a tactical development so it's great their population could be like saved by a cop team with riot gear to permanently shut down main street Las Cruces....when an ass hump party is brutal and disgusting you don't care if police violence tear gasses it all to finally leave....

Ya know when structure becomes societal and it's why do I have to let children later die of impoverished means for that lady....when it's bad enough to access accomplishments

The United States is really bad at preventing terrorist attacks like 9/11....and aids and what has happened in new Mexico will result in a lot of casualties because Canada told them civil law is that's that no questions about it and out of the closet linguistic research would notice Mexican is maybe like Russian or black is Islamic state before large bombs

Mining government crime right next to coas books but no state of emergency is called so you apply to sue the government for refusing to act when it could and pick a foriegn entity to live off it free from ever seeing thigh ass ever again

I have indigenous DNA and no one cares linguistically if I have figured out how to act like daddy for being called every disgusting hooker waitresses crack wallet....and just goes God that guys driving like a maniac maybe I will just use my innate sense of engineering to save myself and let it kill itself of its own grandiosity and personal Satan....

Or when ya notice the black schizophrenic your talking to downtown maybe better understands elie Wiesel then Liberia and ya notice people don't though truly understand that he is a very good metal musician maybe and could easily get a lot of European weapons

Folk smiles killed the Messiah because assumption of white crime didn't check for aid from the Balkans

Andrea...Andrea asked me about more dancing so I admitted every time she talks about dancing I think about that film Brian's song ya know I think that football player was Irish so people didn't check if he had a disease because off the same world system he was really trim and built like statue and all American looking and he kept doing these physical drills till he got a cancer....Andrea is thin and dark so I admit maybe people assume she is Moroccan or something and ya know just can because of evolution or something....

That fruit picking had something cerebellum about it....it was like good for you but that put me laid out awhile

Anyway I wrote to Andrea wanting to say stuff as feminine as possible talk or think so poor sometimes and I should be impossibly better then it....I was sorry sorry for my constant conflict sorry that my language became so condemnatory really it's my feelings so check investigate

[reignof-fyre]

J-just saw a youtube comment comparing wendy martin and tony stark by saying their character arcs are the same like ???

tony stark's arc begins with him being an arrogant bajillionare genius that sleeps around and runs the company his father started from the ground up. his eyes are forcibly opened to the horrors of said company's products and is held captive and tortured by terrorists and after freeing himself of captivity through his own genius and ingenuity he ends weapons productions and promptly begins trying to right the wrongs he himself is not culpable of and finds out that a man he trusted was responsible for the illegal selling of his weapons to terrorists and puts his life on the line to stop stane (orders pepper to overcharge the reactor to kill stane even when he was in its line of fire). tony's arc is about self-growth and change and responsibility and accountability. In IM2 tony's a bit more reckless than usual because oh, yeah, he's actively dying :))))) do you know what heavy metal poisoning does to a person?

to name a few symptoms/effects. No wonder the guy was all over the place.

Wendy, however, begins her arc in the mcu as a WILLING HYDRA volunteer/agent that plots to kill tony stark for something he isn't guilty of. She mind rapes the avengers, triggers tony's ptsd, is at least 50% responsible for ultron's creation, sets the hulk on Johannesburg, plots to kill all the avengers and help ultron do so, and only backs out and changes sides when she goes into ultron’s mind (mind rape :)) and sees that his plan is GLOBAL ANNIHILATION and that includes her and her twin brother. she didn't change sides for altruistic reasons. It was self-preservation at its finest. She was a willing and eager nazi terrorist.

In CACW she accidently tosses a bomb into a building full of people and they die and/or are injured. At this time the avengers, of which she is a member, act as an unfettered, unsupervised (I'm team responsibility and accountability and oh, so is Tony) police force and so it's absolutely likely that, in real world situations, house arrest is the LEAST of wendy's problems. But she throws a tantrum and shoves vision through dozens of floors because "I can't control their fear, only my own" says the girl with the ability to mind rape people and bring up their worst fears :(((( poor bbby. At the Leipzig airport in Germany she tosses several cars at Tony, a baseline human under the suit, because "uwu u lockeded me in my woom u big meanie! :(" she then goes on, after endgame, to trap an entire town under her powers against their will (MIND RAPIST) because vision died and acts as though she's the victim and deserves sympathy??? No??? And let's not get started on her arc in Multiverse of Madness because BITCH IS CRAZY AND UNHINGED AND I hate her bye

My point is this:

tony stark is constantly trying to better himself in each movie he's in. Is he perfect? No, but at least he actively tries and does better himself.

Wanda is the same mind raping nazi HYDRA scum bitch she's always been in the mcu and she hasn't tried to better herself other than call herself a hero and offer empty apologies :)

[vague-humanoid]

ok first

"Netanyahu is a shit head who love to dance with Hamas about the cease fire deal" he isn't danicng with hamas, he is killing children while refusing all deals to secure the release of hostages, as established by Israel's own press

and if he doesn't represent mainstream Israel.. WHY IS HE IN OFFICE? cause israel sure a shit can riot when it comes to protecting rapists.

"your “ withheld” movement leadership."

that's not me? I'm not part of that movement? are you responding to a different post?

"Palestinian leadership historical ties to Nazism?"

do you have a source? the nazis teamed up with brown people?

next you'll tell me the nazi's teamed up with Israel.. oh wait

The influence and strength of German Zionists obtained over time and until the Nazi regime was established, was concentrated in part to having the offices of the World Zionist Organization located in the German cities of Cologne and Berlin; more, its leaders were forceful and unique personalities. Researchers point out that after World War I, when the WZO transferred its headquarters to London its influence increased even more (Reinharz, 1996).

Early in the Zionist movement, the idea of a transfer of European Jews to British Mandate Palestine had wide currency. Specifically, Max Bodenheimer (1865 – 1940), a leading figure of German Zionism, and president of the Zionist Federation in Germany, declared in 1891 the need of the settlement of Eastern European Jews in Palestine for their protection and for their social rehabilitation (Reinharz, ibid). The very same idea also existed in the thought of Theodor Herzl (1860 – 1904), of the World Zionist Organization.

He was influential within the Zionist movement (Reinharz, ibid), and he is the person considered the founder of modern Zionism (Shoenman). Herzl shaped the idea that the Jews consisted primarily of a national community and not a religious one. Such a thought shaping the Jewish national identity, later contributed to the perception,and confrontation, of the Jewish question as a political matter, to be resolved strictly by political means: “The Jewish question, he maintained, is not social or religious. It is a national question. To solve it we must, above all, make it an international political issue …” (Shoenman, ibid). When Theodor Herzl made his political plans publicly known, regarding the attainment of Palestine as a Jewish Homeland, most German Zionists accepted the notion. The difference between the two men was that Bodenheimer didn’t intent to agitate the civil and political status of the German Jews (Reinharz, ibid).

Zionism like Nazism is the fruit of the tree of Volkism

both ideologies sought to remove jewish people's from Europe, and they chose ot make it Palestinian's problems

and TO THIS DAY Zionist's align with Hitler's ideologies

In another clip from the Bnei David Yeshiva published by Channel 13, Rabbi Giora Redler can be heard praising Hilter’s ideology during a lesson about the Holocaust.

“Let’s just start with whether Hitler was right or not,” he told students. “He was the most correct person there ever was, and was correct in every word he said… he was just on the wrong side.”

this isn't fringe shit, or cops pretending, or a nazis INFILTRATING, this is mainstream thought held by people in authority

you are embarrassingly ignorant

Honestly the only things I’d change about AO3 would just be a better block feature —- good for filtering out authors who write fics with a million tags you don’t care about but end up cluttering the search screen—-as well as good for “this author has fetishistic/demeaning writing qualities I find untasteful if not offensive” as well as a flagging(?)/“user recommended tags” feature that could be turned on or off by the reader. Tags should ultimately be the decision of the writer—-sometimes some things deserve to be kept private/as twists, sometimes the author favors the aesthetics of a shorter (but accurate) tag list—-but readers should still be allowed to determine if they want to risk reading something where they don’t know “if the dog dies”.

That way it would also be harder for trolls to spam LGBT/POC content because readers would always have the original tags to fall back on as well as the ability to turn off user suggested tags from their view. Most people favor fanfiction about characters and fandoms they know well so a “anti white” or “groomer” tag suggestion on something like a M “Our flag means death” or G “Steven universe” fanfiction looks fake from a million miles away , but a “car crash tw” suggestion would obviously be a more useful or “real” suggestion since “car crash tw” is easily something an author could overlook including and isn’t a tag that too many people would try to avoid (many might find it useful in helping them avoid their triggers but it’s also not going to yank an author or their fic so it would be a weird/bad way to try and troll someone with)

Also maybe an account-wide tag block? So you don’t have to fill out the “tags to exclude” for triggering content every single time.

They're working on better block & mute features. There are some workarounds right now with custom site skins:

Right now, if users want to suggest tags, they can make bookmarks, and they can make a collection to put those bookmarks in. Unfortunately, collections are clunky and bookmark features are limited - they'd need to promote the collection offsite. But they could go through their fandom of choice, bookmark everything and attach the appropriate tags to the bookmarks if they're not in the original.

There is never going to be a "suggest these tags to the author/other readers" feature more direct than that, because there is no way that doesn't turn into a mud-slinging toxic wankfest. People who are worried about "does the dog die?" will need to ask friends to check the works in advance, or talk with the author if they have a public presence somewhere. (Some authors won't answer anyway.)

The problems are not people adding "racist fic" or "groomer Rose Quartz" to fanfics. (I mean, those are potential problems, but those are not the real problem.) The real problem is: Someone decides X author is a Bad Person, and tags all of their works with pedophile, nazi, child abuser, rapist, illiterate grade-school dropout, ugly and fat, only sluts read this, and a swarm of other slurs based on whatever's trendy to hate this year.

The first thing to consider with any new potential feature is: How could someone with absolutely no goodwill use this to try to hurt people?

And what measures would need to be taken to mitigate that?

Right now, someone could add all of that to bookmarks. But bookmarks don't show up on a toggle-switch next to the work's author-made tags. You have to look for them. If they got really bad, the Abuse Team might force the bookmarks to be set to Private (I have no idea if they can do that); they don't have to remove them or argue about the accuracy of the tags in order to keep them from harassing the author or other readers.

A whole new category of tags, visible at the top of the work, would be a new special nightmare.

...But they're working on better block features, and mute features, and I'm hoping there'll someday be "save my search settings" so I don't have to keep excluding A/B/O fics every time I go looking for a new pairing.

If he truly is innocent, how much do you think this affected him? I cant imagine being called a rapist, homophobic, nazi, racist, haveing your nudes shared all over when you are none of that. If this was about hs bullying do you think he reach out to those girek behind closed doors to try and patch things up for good?

It affected us who believed him. Everyone I spoke about this said that they were anxious, hurt and sick to their stomach. So I can’t imagine how he must be feeling. All of this put to the thousand potency.

If this is about hs bullying and he reached out, he’s a better person than I am. After what these girls put him through, I think that only his team is talking to them, behind closed doors.

No matter what hs bullshit happened, this was revenge porn and cp. There are no bridges left to patch up in my opinion.

But idk, maybe Percy is nicer than me.

The Original Intent of Terra and how Deathstroke got the bad end of the stick for it

Okay, Deathstroke Children (Idk what to call you guys because fellow Deathstrokers would end this conversation immediately), I found the time to do this, so let's get to it!

(Note: My original laptop broke with my comics, so I have no images to spare, so it will be sourced. Another note: Many words will be in bold. Partly so that for those reading will not lose track.)

But if tl;dr:

Cold Hard Truth: Everyone from Terra fans to Deathstroke fans needs to stop seeing these characters as real people.

Original Terra wasn't human trafficked or whatever sob story people want to label her with. The CREATORS intended her to be written as Evil without the mental illness and to die for the shock value. They had Raven, The Literal Empath, spell this out in Judas Contract. As for Deathstroke's involvement, he was shoved into her creation story, and Marv Wolfman himself recognized his mistake in doing that.

And for those calling Deathstroke a nazi, Original Terra had nazi-like beliefs where common people should fear and serve them or be killed off just because they're 'special'. Again, BLUNTLY stated in the Judas Contract. So if you're going to call Deathstroke a Pedophile, we'll call OG Terra a Neo-Nazi. (But I highly advice for Deathstroke Fans to not start that kind of war, but I had to say what I had to say.)

Don't get me wrong. (Hopefully all) Deathstroke fans know that their relationship was wrong just like Marv Wolfman, and we do not support pedophiles! But Slade isn't a pedophile! He was never intended to be written as one! It was a mistake made on many levels and should be rewritten like OG Terra's Evil Neo-Nazi-like personality, instead of being thrown into cancel culture.

Also for Deathstroke fans, don't get upset over their content and begin any argument emotionally. Just enjoy whatever good content we can get and support it if you can. Hopefully we'll get our Deathstroke movies and so on!

So I've briefly chatted with one of you over the matter with Terra/Tara Markov and how upsetting it is about how people refer to Slade Wilson as a Pedophile. That is a serious accusation that would make it very uncomfortable to argue about since it can easily make it seem like we justify the actions of pedophiles, and that we are part of pedophile culture that does exist in social media space.

AND WE SHOULDN'T, AND FOR ANTIS READING THIS WE WON'T.

But there was a time when I used to have a blog called friendlyremindersofsladewilson, where I defended Slade and put the blame all on Terra. I was 14 at the time, and looking back at it, I am not proud of it because I realized now as an adult how I defended it for most of the wrong reasons, but still stand with the fact that SLADE IS NOT A PEDOPHILE.

And since this took place when I was so young, it compelled me to write this post because I fear some of you are really young, too, and may end up in this regretful position.

So to make it clear, what Slade had been written to do is a crime, and we should acknowledge it, but not in the way as if it was a crime acted out in real life.

What I mean by that is that there's a clear separation between fiction and reality where one isn't real (Duh!). In this case, it's about the mistakes made between fiction and reality. In reality, mistakes made by the person responsible is on the person. In fiction, mistakes made is dependent on the creator's intent, and sometimes the creators can make mistakes themselves.

Most notably Terra's:

Tara Markov/Terra was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.

In Marv Wolfman's literal website, he stated in his online "What the-?" column:

"Which leads to Terra. That was easy. George and I wanted a Titan who betrayed the others. we also wanted to play against every reader conception of who characters are. George and I knew her whole story before we began and we knew she would die. We set the story up with her trying to destroy the Statue of Liberty to show she was the bad girl, but we knew if George drew her as a cute kid everyone would simply assume she would be ‘turned’ from the dark side because that’s the way it was always done which is why that wouldn’t be the way we did it. Tara was insane an stayed that way right until the moment she died. By the way, she IS dead. I don’t know what other writers will do with her – if anything – but if they want to honor the original series they will leave her dead. The Terra from Team Titans was – as stated – some kid the villain kidnapped and physically and mentally altered her into looking and acting like the original. But she was NEVER the real Terra."

And it should also be noted that he stated before this statement that:

"...Only mistake I think I made with him is having him have a physical relationship with the 16 year old Tara Markov. That was wrong."

So Marv Wolfman himself recognizes that what he did was a mistake, but his intent on Terra was never to write a victim.

And quick note: Insanity isn't written as a mental illness here. It's written like how many villains are labeled as insane for having skewed beliefs that deviates from the common good.

Terra truly had some nazi-like beliefs where she BELIEVED that everyone who wasn't 'special' like her and the Teen Titans deserved to be treated like shit because they weren't 'special' like them. She bluntly said it herself in the Judas Contract.

As for George Perez's comment in an interview I found in this website:

"GEORGE: Tara was just a cute little girl, although I based a little bit of that on my wife Carol’s sister, Barbara. A little upturned nose… Barbara does not have the teeth that Tara had. I wanted Tara to be a girl who looked normal. Which also means her death caught everyone even more offguard.

Tara, she was made to be killed; she served her purpose. That was it.

ANDY: You didn ‘t get any attachment to Tara?

GEORGE: No, because I knew we were going to kill her. So I deliberately used all the things to make her as likeable and cute as possible, so people would never believe we were going to kill a sixteen-year-old. And she was a sixteen-year-old sociopath. She was one of our cleverest gimmicks; we deliberately created her in order to lead everyone astray. So we couldn’t build any fondness for her, ’cause we knew full well what her whole motive for existence was. Her existence was basically to keep the stories interesting; we were tossing a curve that no one would have expected.

ANDY: You didn ‘t even love to hate her, huh?

GEORGE: No. I loved handling her, because she was such a good idea. But she was an idea. Not as much a person. She was there to show exactly how much their humanity can be one thing they have to be careful about, the Teen Titans have to be careful about. . . they can be too trusting, or their own weaknesses can be used against them."

Terra was supposed to be a representation of An Evil Betrayal of Trust and That Not All Cute Girls Are Good.

But they took it too far by making her sleep with Deathstroke because they wanted to truly make her look evil by literally sleeping with the enemy. Y'know because this was the 80s, and women having sex was an evil act back then, and that point of view has somewhat or barely improved 40 years later.

Deathstroke was just shoved into this idea, and Marv tried and perhaps failed at trying to undo this mistake with his talk with Beastboy (Tales of the Teen Titans issue #55) and before his confrontation from Wintergreen (Deathstroke (1991); Chapter 35).

So just as I had stated at the top in the tl;dr, it was a mistake made on many levels and should have been rewritten out just as many had done with OG Terra's true personality, and be done with it.

Random person: "He still slept with a 16-year-old."

And it's not that hard to make other heroes and villains do this mistake. Because again, it's all fiction. Deathstroke's fictional. As in Not Real, so we could literally undo the damage by rewriting this mistake. Or make it worse by making Terra the rapist by her using her Earth powers to bind Slade down and force him, and you can't deny that it's plausible. Because she's fictional. Anything can happen. So why didn't Slade tell Beastboy whether he slept with her or not, maybe it was because he really didn't want to but he was forced into it. And that's just something you can't dump on a very emotional man who was trying to kill you a moment ago.

ALL THE POSSIBILITIES BECAUSE IT'S FICITIONAL!

But ANYWAY, I went way too dark there.

Ending on a brighter note: Personally to all Deathstroke fans, please value your mental health, please don't start any arguments that'll compromise it, and continue supporting Deathstroke in whatever way you can!

[therealtsk]

tsk i’m DYING to hear your play-by-play on which worm characters have dumb fanon interpretations

UH OH YOU JUST OPENED THE FLOODGATES so the short answer is pretty much every major character but I am a high-effort bitch so let's do this: Taylor Hebert: jfc, I could probably hit a word count limit talking about Taylor alone. First you have the dumb as shit TINO (Taylor In Name Only) phenomenon where people just straight up SI as Taylor but pretend it's her and she's basically a different person wearing Taylor's skin like an ill-fitting suit. Then there's the Memetic Escalator Taylor interpretation where Taylor's Warlord era characterization is flanderized so hard that she turns into her world's version of Doomguy where her response to literally everything is ultra violence, mutilation and torture and she can totally beat up anyone you guys hahah coin sock goes brrrrr you go brutalize those totally deserving victims queen. And then there's shy, stuttering, soft spoken "useless lesbian" Taylor which is not as common but still, fuckin straight men and the way they infantize gay women. Taylor is perhaps the most consistently inconsistent characterization I've seen in fandom, it's fucking wild Lisa Wilbourn: Has two fanon settings. Taylor's best friend who exists solely to give exposition and get the "Stop Coil" subplot rolling (occasional gay subtext will be added in a way that feels fetishy) Or, the evil bitchy blonde who is first target of the SI. I constantly wonder if the people who write the frankly masturbatory SI's are aware that we can tell they're still bitter about girls not dating them in highschool. Brian: basically does not exist in fic aside from the occasional joke cause racism and also because of how popular wlw ships are in Worm fandom. you deserve better dude Alec: has a few token appearances in wormfic fandom that usually have him as the comic relief alongside Aisha, which might actually be for the best considering he's a rapist and the Worm fandom's uhhhh tendencies. Moving on- Aisha: prankster girl that alt!Taylor will adopt as a younger sibling. hopefully is not part of the totally-not-a-harem considering she's even younger then the rest of these teens Bitch: Another girl to fall into alt!Taylor's definitely-not-a-harem, but with more butch tendencies. Basically has no personality in fanon outside of her dogs Parian: SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SHOP FFS also another member of Taylor's totally-not-a-harem Flechette: yeah it's a harem Sophia: holy shit you think Brian's bad? The racism in pretty much every fanon depiction of Sophia is off the charts. Hyper-violent, super edgy, "predator/prey" speech inbound, will get humilated/killed in some new, supposedly satisfying but actually just deeply uncomfortable way, probably throw in some E88 shit too just because Emma: again, do the writers know we can tell they're still malding over the fact that the pretty girls in highschool didn't date them? fanon emma is pretty much a cardboard cut out of whoever was mean to the author. something something bitches three Madison: in fanon has a C53 fetish, occasionally is also Browbeat. don't ask why Victoria: gets hit with the blonde stereotypes even harder then Lisa, "Collateral Damage Barbie" is one of the phrases that activates my flight or fight responses. she basically is an entirely different character in fanon. bubbly dumb blonde girl with a massive temper and well other sexist bullshiit Amy: I hate even touching this character with a ten foot pole but basically is hit with the "soft useless lesbian" trope hard enough to make her into a completely separate person from her canon self. whether or not this is a good thing is still up for debate Carol: in fanon, an evil bitch who exists solely to bully Amy Mark: who? The rest of New Wave: cannon fodder for Leviathan Danny Hebert: literally stale milk instead of a personality, will probably die before the fic is over but we won't care because the author did not care either Armsmaster: hahaha robotman go brrrr or is an arrogant self-aggrandizing shit, can't interact with people without Dragon helping him 24/7 Miss Militia: fanon bat'd into team mom,

idk where this came from considering her first instinct upon seeing children is to pull out a gun holy shit wait is she actually Taylor's true mom- Velocity: canon fodder for levi Battery & Assault: sitcom wife, sitcom husband! please ignore how fucked up this relationship is if you look at it for more than two seconds Dauntless: haha armsy is JEALOUS also cannon fodder for levi Triumph: who? The BB wards in general tend to be incredibly bland, the only ones who have fanon personalities of note are Clockblocker and Vista. The former being such a huge prankster that every other line is a joke- or him complaining about how BULLSHIT Alt!Taylor's powers are. Vista is an angry kiddo who says that Shadow Stalker doesn't count as being a girl on the team The E88: no personality for any of them except that Kaiser is noble and really isn't that bad and also Purity did nothing wrong totally she's just a hot mom trying to do her best, please ignore how she exclusively targets characters of color and literally calls white criminals more civilized than miniorities- the worm fandom has something of a nazi problem i hate it here The ABB: racism and honorable samurai lung even though that has no canon basis so again, racist stereotypes The Slaughterhouse 9: This one makes me just as sad as the Lisa shit because dear god this is such a good cast of villains that fanon completely flattens to bowling pins for the Alt!Taylor of the week to mow down, why does this fandom suck so much. Anyway Jack is just the Joker, Crawler is masochistic, etc i'm moving on now The PRT/Protectorate as a whole: They are an evil paramilitary organization that pressgangs kids into signing up to become child soldiers, and somehow at the same time, they are a bunch of idiots who listen to the PR department and have stupid things like RULES that prevent capes from COMMITTING VIOLENCE. Being called "the biggest gang of all" is common and some shit like "at least the criminals are honest" is a likely statement. Cauldron: whoo boy this one really boils my blood but fanon Cauldron are just a bunch of evil idiots who can't even tie their shoelaces. basically a bunch of dudebros are upset that women run the world and that two of them essentially have "I win" powers so they have to make them lose to their SI- er, Taylor in fics so they can assuage their masculinity, which totally isn't pathetic Scion: Is at once the end all be all of worm you can't write a wormfic without scion or else it's TOTALLY MEANINGLESS because what is the point of a story if all the characters are going to DIE in a few years anyway, and at the same time is incredibly easy to defeat- this ties into how Cauldron is stupid. Scion Truthers pls shut up and go read something else okay I think that's everyone I would apologize but the only thing I'm sorry for is how messy this is
