I know it's not how you rationalize it to yourself, but your posts about Israel/palestine come off as a support of the destruction of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Insisting that it's a war (Palestine isn't allowed to have an army, and Israel cannot claim self-defence against a territory they occupy), denying that Israel is at fault, obscuring support of Palestine in general as being motivated by antisemitism - it paints a picture.

At least 30 000, probably closer to 100 000 Palestinians have been killed as of now. That is so monumentally worse than anything currently happening to Israel / zionists. So when you spend most of your energy focusing on those wrongs, or insisting that people talking about Palestine should focus on them, it comes off as brushing it off or trying to diminish its importance.

You don't have to answer, as I'll be blocking you, but I'm asking you to please consider what you're willing to support, excuse or tone down, and why. I know what it's like to be too focused on the discrimination we're facing to really take in what other groups might be going through.

hey anon, that's some great useful idiot syndrome you got there. how much college debt did you go into to earn it?

i think my problem with ashton is that the potential they have to grow as a character is contingent on being confronted on their biases and shortcomings, and that is simply not happening due to rp and campaign arc decisions, so they have just entrenched themselves in their little bubble of nihilism and self-centeredness in a way that feels like it’s holding the entire story back

[blazeeblake]

I’m not explicitly trying to be that guy, but when someone describes a love interest whose [objectively small total amount of] screen time has largely featured them being kind of insensitive and disinterested in/dismissive of the character they’re paired up with as a “partner that prioritizes and cares so much [for said character]” I can’t help but be curious of what string theory gymnastics led to such a conclusion.

Like, my own shipping goggles aside, I’m legitimately wondering where those descriptors can be found in the actual narrative?? No hate, just pure confusion, fam.

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

we need to have the conversation of how charles fans treat his teammates without falling into the accusatory zone that we want to harm charles by having this conversation.

i mean charles no harm, but it is something that is getting extremely out of hand and it needs to be talked about. some charles fans have gotten too freely with being cruel to others drivers.

people used to call sebastian vettel a CORPSE. yes, scuderia ferrari screwed him. yes, everyone loves sebastian vettel again NOW (because he is far away from it and free from this hell) but back in 19/20? charles fans, mainly on twitter, made his life miserable. he couldn’t win. he couldn’t make anyone happy. if he won, he was taking something from charles that belonged to charles rightfully. it he lost, he was old and bad and should retire already and this sport wasn’t for him. he wasn’t a team player. he didn’t care about ferrari. he wanted to screw charles over.

if you just got here, if carlos is your first experience of how charles’ teammates are treated, let me tell you. everything that is being said about carlos has already been said about sebastian. and it is crazy for some people to understand that because everyone loves sebastian again, so you can’t even imagine what he went throught.

and i’m sorry for generalizing all of charles fans, im a charles fan, but it is something we need to stop and look at and talk about. how long will we let it go. how long until it starts to happen to lewis hamilton, of all people. how long until they dismiss his victories and say he is old and should give up of this sport so charles can win.

and you know one of the worst part? charles loves to race. every time he had to fight for it, he loved it. when he and carlos race in that track, he comes out with a big smile and talking about how he loves to race carlos. how this is real racing. he loves to fight for it. to prove himself. to have to sweat for it.

all while his fans try to make everyone just bow down their heads and give him things in a plate, already chewed and easy to get. as if he would like that. as if he can’t prove himself worth otherwise. as if he isn’t good enough to fight for it.

this fandom is so not it OH MY GODD

I was so so happy that we finally got bi buck - I felt seen, I felt represented. The storyline was perfect - it was simple, and beautifully acted. It genuinely made me respect the show and abc so damn much. But the fandom fucking ruined it for me. This was the fucking representation I have been looking for, waiting for, for so damn long, and the fandom had to act so fucking entilted and obnoxious that I can’t even enjoy it.

I do not fucking care how much you ship buddie, I do not care how much you want buck and eddie to get together, what I do care about is the fact that you are completely disregarding the fact that we finally have bi buck. People have been asking for this for years, but suddenly it’s not okay because it’s not eddie? Or we can’t be happy that he’s bi because of the fact that he is perfectly happy and in love with a man who isn’t eddie? Why is it that you can’t fucking appreciate what almost the entire fandom has wanted for years just because it didn’t go the way you wanted it to? You cannot find a single damn bucktommy related post (especially on the official accounts) without a large handful of people making it about buddie. If we could use our critical fucking thinkings skills for one fucking second, and maybe decide not to be fucking illiterate for just one fucking minute, then maybe we would be able to see that this post is about buck and TOMMY, not buck and eddie. Stop fucking making it about them and appreciate that we finally got what we have been asking for for years. How would you like it if we were to make a buddie post about bucktommy? Literally everyone would attack you in the comments. Why is it fair that people can do it on bucktommy related posts when it is so obvious it wouldn’t be taken well on buddie related posts. Furthermore, the fact that people have been harassing not only the actors, but the actors families? Who the fuck you people think you are? Have some god damn class and fucking respect and stop acting like literal children, it’s fucking pathetic and it needs to stop.

Maybe I’m over thinking things but it feels like a lot of what determines if someone gets labeled a pay driver or not is race

Off the top of my head the drivers that are called pay drivers currently on the grid are Lance stroll, Checo Perez, Zhou Gaunyu, and Yuki Tsunoda. When Lando Norris’ dad has paid a lot to McLaren during Norris early career, Ollie Bearman’s dad currently sponsors him, Liam Lawson’s career was funded by New Zealand companies, etc, but none of these drivers are ever called pay drivers.

The same level of scrutiny surrounding how driver’s of color fund their seats/careers is not applied for most white drivers, especially if theyre anglos

And even when it is true that a driver is a pay driver, like Lance Stroll, I still find it icky that around 80% of things said about Lance Stroll, the only Jewish driver on the grid, is about how wealthy his family is.

‘In all of kings landing, is there no one to take my side?’

idk alicent, maybe because, just listen. you decided to do shit that does not help your side? you did things that only made people feel sympathy for rhaenyra? YOU ASKED FOR HER SON SECONDS AFTER HE WAS BORN??? BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN BIRTH THE AFTERBIRTH???

also, yknow, YOU ARE TRYING TO GET CHILDREN KILLED?? DOING THE EXACT THING YOU WORRIED SHE WOULD DO TO YOU AND IF SHE DID DO THAT, NO ONE WOULD HAVE SYMPATHY BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS YOU DID?!

in short, people side with those who aren’t batshit and don’t make their stances that well known, especially if you are doing all this in secret. If everyone knew her children were bastards, everyone also knew you were the one to start those rumors, that alone means you are her enemy and she is the realm’s delight.

you are going against the most popular child of westeros, since her birth and till her death, and you are seriously confused on why no one sided with you? Truly?

[strawberrybyers]

hi, so awhile ago, or to be more accurate 4 months ago lol, i mentioned that i was working on a 20 minute video that analyzes mileven’s relationship. i gathered clips throughout the seasons that highlight the dynamic between mike and el. this video is byler proof that essentially doesn’t really focus on byler. making this made me realize how much of mike and el’s relationship is just DRAMA lol.

anyways, here it is. please enjoy <3 https://youtu.be/HxqMxztkS1A?si=U7_lxyOfELocpgMl

you guys prob don’t remember but in my initial post about this vid, you guys said you wanted to be tagged. i apologize for the long wait. the amount of times the file corrupted and i had to start over drove me insane 😅 @total-serene560 @kittykat940 @throne-of-crows @upsidedownlurker @byler-invested @mimispams @wanderers-collection

“Proshipping actually means problematic ship, and proshipping is bad. Proshippers are bad because they think abuse and toxic relationships are okay in REAL LIFE!”

So self-declared proshippers. By this logic. Call themselves. “Problematic shippers.” Because they “see nothing wrong in toxic and abusive relationships”. So they. Apparently turn around and. Call it. Problematic. The supposed group that “thinks abuse is okay”. Would then turn around and call it “problematic”…?

Okie, u know what buddy, so real, so true; I’m gonna lie, you are spitting! <3

[plague-of-insomnia]

I will never apologize for being anti harassment and anti censorship and if you don’t like or understand that then you’re free to block me.

I’ll never change my mind about those two things bc I have been against those since long before the days of the internet, let alone my time in fandom.

[the-one-and-only-aroace]

What I need people to understand is that Percy will never “open up his eyes” to how bad the gods are. Out of the olympians, Luke and him, he’s the only one who actually understands how and in what ways they’re bad.

Luke, he just feels abandoned. He hates Hermes not because he’s a god, but because he’s a deadbeat father. The gods corruption, the constantly fighting monsters, the just general incompetence, he could care less about. He only even thinks about those things because he’s been manipulated by Kronos. Does anyone at camp care that any mistress of Zeus has been killed wrongfully? No. Should they? Not really. Pretty much every demigod who joined Kronos’s side is doing it for purely selfish reasons. Kronos has just dressed it up in pretty words about overthrowing the gods.

Percy, however? He wants an end to the corruption. He doesn’t just want revenge against his father for abandoning him. He wants change to happen, with or without the gods. He’s one of the only people who knows the titans are worse not because of family loyalty, but because they’re just actually shit. He could care less about Poseidon, they’ve made their peace. That doesn’t mean he thinks the gods are good, he just knows that the titans are worse.

The titans are quite literally worse in every way except not abandoning their demigod kids. Kronos’s army would realize that at a greater scale if they weren’t just kids looking for revenge. Percy recognizes that because his feelings have been dealt with instead of just left to simmer for years and years

[beabnormal24]

My bf effectively made me realise that Ollie should thank Carlos for his history-making.

He drove in the Ferrari because Carlos was in the hospital, and now points with a Haas because Carlos crashed 😭😭

[korkiekenobiconfirmed]

I see so many people arguing against the Greens and their “side” of the fandom because denial of Rhaenyra’s rightful claim is rooted in misogyny, but none of them take into account the context of such ideas.

The king’s decision was in accord with well-established practice. Aegon the Conqueror had been the first Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, not his sister Visenya, two years his elder. Jahaerys himself had followed his usurping uncle Maegor on the Iron Throne, though had the order of birth alone ruled, his sister Rhaena had a better claim.

— Fire and Blood, 364, On Jahaerys’ appointment of Baelon as heir over Rhaenys

HotD’s tendency to gloss over politics (and that’s a whole different rant) I think has led to a lot of people forgetting that this is medieval Westeros. There is substantial precedent for lesser-born sons ruling over daughters — even down to Laenor having a stronger claim to the throne than his elder sister and mother. Deciding a ruler’s succession is never as easy as “eldest child get’s daddy’s fancy chair” (especially when there are multiple different paths of inheritance and everybody’s blood-related on 8 different levels), and historical precedence has always played a huge role in who can rule over a kingdom…and this is all without even bringing in the Seven/religious matters, which are their own beast.

TLDR: Yeah. It’s easy to sit here in our modern real-life world and condemn Green fans for #evilpatriarchy and Blood Purity Ideas. But within the sociopolitical context of this world GRRM has created (which is very much rooted in real life midieval Europe), the Greens aren’t wrong: Westeros as we know it could never stand united behind a woman, especially one with bastard sons.
