#this. isn’t. cancel. culture. anymore.

[joyswonderland1108]

Jungkook is now apparently personally responsible for every American political controversy even though he lives in South Korea and wore a cap with the word "Tokyo" on it. The world ends at 8PM. Clutch your pearls accordingly.

You know what? I’m done. I am SO done with the brain-dead Olympic-level mental gymnastics people pull just to hate Jungkook. Man wore a hat and suddenly the entire internet turned into the Political Ethics Department of the World Police. Are y’all hearing yourselves?? Because it sounds like stupid is a global epidemic and we’re long past patient zero.

MAGA?? REALLY? A South Korean man who literally lives across the ocean, barely speaks English on the regular, has zero involvement in US politics, and was minding his business rehearsing — and your reaction is: “OMG HE’S PROMOTING TRUMP!” HOW. HOW DID YOU GET THERE. CONNECT THE DOTS FOR ME BECAUSE I’M SEEING A LINEAR PATH THAT GOES:

Cap says Tokyo → Jungkook likes Japan → he wore it → end of story. But y’all went: Cap says Tokyo → MAGA → Trump → white supremacy → racism → international scandal → cancel him.

I have never seen people so DESPERATE to twist an innocent moment into some warped political sin. Like y’all must really hate peace, huh? You saw BTS coming back and your K-pop faves getting overshadowed just by JK existing and said, “You know what, let me have a mental breakdown over a HAT.”

Get this through your thick-ass skulls: “MTGA” ≠ MAGA. Tokyo = a city in Japan. MAGA = a US political slogan.

They are not the same. They don’t mean the same. And they don’t have the same context unless you live in a cave where every sentence with “make” in it triggers a political panic attack.

Y’all mad at a man wearing a cap with the name of a city in a country he loves on it. Jungkook showed it more than once that he cherishes Japan, spent time there, sung in Japanese, and clearly values the culture. But you think he looked at a cap with Tokyo on it and said, “Yes, this is my political campaign now”? Be fucking serious.

Also, since when is it mandatory for South Korean idols to be fully briefed on the history of US political slogans?? He lives 10,007 km away, he’s not running for office, he’s not a political analyst, and he sure as hell doesn’t wake up wondering, “Gee, I wonder what phrase pisses off Americans today so I can avoid it!”

You think every idol should walk around wearing only shirts that say “I love Seoul” or “Korea Best!” now?? So when someone wears “I love NY” or “Bonjour Paris” y’all are fine, but the second it’s Jungkook and the word Tokyo, it’s an act of international treason? Hypocrisy jumped OUT and slapped y’all across the face.

And let’s be real: the loudest people screeching about this aren’t even genuinely upset. You’re not offended. You’re just PATHETICALLY threatened by Jungkook breathing the same air as your faves. You saw a chance to throw shit at him and took it, hoping it would stick. But guess what? You played yourself. Again. JK isn’t the problem. You are. You and your twisted little projections, your fake moral outrage, and your flaccid cancel campaigns built on absolutely nothing but bitterness and boredom.

And to those K-netz and their little spawn of international Kpopies with a keyboard and zero brain-to-mouth filter: may the worst karma hit you with all its might. You deserve NOTHING good. Nothing. You live to tear down people who are literally doing nothing but living their lives peacefully. Jungkook could wear a plain beige hoodie tomorrow and you’d find a way to say he’s supporting desert colonialism.

Grow up. Touch grass. Seek help. And while you're at it, shut the entire fuck up.

You don’t deserve Jungkook’s talent, humility, work ethic, or the pure joy he brings to millions of people. You're too busy wallowing in your own delusions to even see him as a human being anymore. So sit the fuck down and let people enjoy things.

I'm about to ruffle some feathers with this, but it's been bothering my spirit for a while and I need to let it out.

I know I was one of the people with a platform who ran to comment on the Wizard Liz situation and jumped on the social media bandwagon where everyone had to say something about it. But now that several days have passed, I can’t help but notice that the world of online "female empowerment" has become oversaturated, not just with recycled advice, but with increasingly toxic talking points. Things like "high-value people", glamorizing sex work under the guise of hypergamy, and encouraging women to act like bimbos as if that’s somehow radical. All of it has started to feel like a massive, communal online brain rot. It’s encouraging surface-level aesthetics while discouraging critical thinking, and it's leaving young women unequipped to navigate finances, relationships, career growth, or real-world emotional development.

This isn’t empowerment anymore. Somewhere along the way, this "community" morphed into a repackaged conservative space dressed up in soft girl branding with a bow tie on it. So many of your favorite gurus are parroting the same talking points you’ll find in the manosphere, just twisted into language that’s palatable to women. Meanwhile, a lot of these same women are in dysfunctional relationships with undesirable men who openly disrespect them, or they themselves are openly involved in sex work while encouraging others to take advice from them on emotional regulation and personal values.

The situation with Wizard Liz really drove this home for me—not just because of her scandal, but because of the way the internet responded. The mob mentality. The idolization. The obsessive praise. It’s wild to watch how quickly the internet will crown a woman as a queen, a mother, a messiah, and treat her as untouchable. "You’re the best". "You’re my mother". "You’re the only one I listen to". It’s become this strange form of digital worship. And I’m not saying that to be cynical because I get why people do it. We’re all just trying to find someone to believe in. But when we put imperfect humans on pedestals like that, we set them up to become avatars for our own unmet needs.

We need to talk more about the cost of this internet idol culture. When people become brands, they stop being seen as people. They become symbols and mirrors for our fantasies. And in that process, our own discernment fades. We stop asking, "Is this true for me?" and start asking, "Who else agrees with this so I can feel safe thinking it too?" Suddenly, everyone is saying the same thing in different aesthetics, and no one wants to be the one to say, "Hey, this might be shallow".

And the scariest part? This groupthink often looks like empowerment, but it’s just another form of control, only this time it comes with soft music and good lighting.

We don’t need to cancel these women, and we don’t need to worship them either. We can just see them for what they are: people, not prophets. We can honor what they’ve contributed while also questioning what they’re selling. We can notice where we’re projecting our own longings onto someone else’s curated image. And most importantly, we can come back to ourselves.

If you feel yourself comparing, ask: Do I want her life, or do I want the feeling I think her life would give me? Because once you name that feeling, you can start building it: here, now, in your own lane, with your own voice.

That’s what I’m choosing to do. And if you’ve been feeling the same way, I hope you’ll join me.

[chaotic-tired-fox]

I want to rant about this because it makes me mad, but I also don't want this whole thing on my blog, so I hope you don't mind me putting it here.

Iskall literally compared cancel culture to a literal witch hunt. Okay, I agree with that. Cancel culture is bad, innocent people should not get hurt from things that aren't true. (Except I also think he is a part of consequence culture. He dug his own grave at this point.)

But the amount of hypocrisy in that statement infuriates me. Because guess what he did? He sent his fans right on over to cancel the hermits.

Anyway, friendly reminder to show your support of the hermits to drown out what this bastard is doing <3

Understandable anon.

A good example of Cancel Culture was with what happened with TFC (rip) a few years back. People dragging up very old statements and trying to make a fuss out of it despite the fact that he clearly didn’t hold such views anymore and was considered a friend of both ZombieCleo and Joehills. That’s cancel culture. And even still he apologised for them and everyone moved on.

What’s happening with Iskall isn’t Cancel Culture, it’s just pure hard fact and although it’s difficult it still has to be accepted as such. Iskall didn’t apologise for any of it nor did he show even a hint of accountability or regret for his actions and he’s been treating people like this for years. Turning his fans on the hermits in some declaration of war was extremely childish.

What we can do now as a community is to continue to support and show love to the hermits. Report any nasty comments you see on their videos, draw fan art, join a livestream and just keep being the amazing community y’all are. We can drown out the hate together.

[doverstar]

How are you handling the season 15 finale mass crash out?

isn’t it remarkable that I know exactly what you’re talking about-

and if I’m way off let’s laugh together-

Simultaneously nauseated and resigned. I stopped watching Doctor Who when Peter Capaldi left, but I do like to keep tabs on it; I saw Russell T. Davies’ return trilogy when it came out, and I saw Ncuti’s first full episode. Those were okay.

And then Russell ran the show directly into the ground and kept digging until he hit magma, and now you can smell the show burning from continents away.

It’s sad, because I really admired his writing, and it looks like the older he gets, the more often (and more stubbornly) he chooses to do exactly what he always said was bad for storytelling, and Doctor Who, of all things, is suffering for it.

This show is 60+ years old. It should not be this difficult to do it right. But they’re not thinking about what makes a story good; they’re thinking about themselves and they’re thinking about money-

I’ll say this right now: Doctor Who needs to be cancelled. It needs a break. If it’s ever going to be what it was, it has to be set back in the toy box for a little bit, and rediscovered by someone new, or else they’ll just keep ruining everything.

Russell do you hear me you put that down-

And the very last person they should have gotten for Ncuti to regenerate into was Billie Piper. *loud sounds of dry heaving* don’t get me started-

Rose? Rose Tyler? The Moment? Arguably the person that made this show as we know it today? You picked that actress? To play a different character? Possibly the title role? Do you really think people are that stupid? They see a familiar face and they’re hooked right back in, never mind the bad plot, never mind the inconsistent companions, never mind that every decision you’ve made for this show since you signed back on has been so self-indulgent you can’t let five minutes go by without some sort of cultural wisecrack, Russell-

In 2005 Billie Piper portrayed a character that really resonated with everyone, whether it was negative or positive. A character that reshaped a generations-old story. Rose was written with so much excitement and intentionality and Billie played her with so much depth and heart. Love her or hate her, Rose is Doctor Who. To this generation, that’s the face of Doctor Who. The Doctor changes now and then, but everyone remembers Rose.

And now they’re using that very earned affection in this cheap trick to boost their numbers. It’s disrespectful and it makes me feel like they think very little of their audience.

Let go of the old actors and actresses. Let go of the old lore. Write something new, and just keep the things that made Doctor Who wonderful in the past. That’s what made it work again in 2005, when nobody thought it could come back.

It’s not that hard. Just stop trying to make it something it’s not.

I don’t want to see Billie Piper as “the Doctor”. I don’t care if it’s Rose somehow teleported in, switched places with him or something (it’s not, and that wouldn’t be fair to Ncuti). The former is silly, and the latter screws up the ending the character got years ago.

(don’t get me started on Susan or the Rani or Omega or any of that nonsense, either)

I’ll be fine, because I have 60+ years of great content to go back to, and I can ignore the current events of the show. I don’t have to watch it. It’s not Doctor Who anymore. It’s a fever dream that’s making a lot of people a lot of money, and I’m not here for that. I like good stories.

Thanks for checking in on me, though!

[spaceumbredoggos]

I’ve been seeing a lot of crap against the live action Lilo and Stitch movie so here i come to shit on it too.

Let’s call it for what it is. It’s propoganda.

Disney has a history with propoganda. Walt himself made WWII propoganda films and also made a lot of anti-black propoganda films. Disney is rooted in racism and fascism. Remember how Wlat himself was all buddy buddy with literal nazis?

Disney was never woke. Sure, shows come up by the disney brand like Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, Star Vs the Forces of Evil, Wander over Yonder, and Phineas and Ferb and movies such as LILO AND STITCH (the 2002 version) (that’s really the only good example. Even my favorite movie, The Princess and the Frog has some really racist undertones (Making voodoo out to be the villain and transforming the black characters into frogs. But it does show black culture and shows that voodoo can be used for good. However, the bad tends to outweigh the good. Brother Bear falls into the same problem the Princess and The frog does by transforming characters of color into animals, and the native story that they use for basis seems really white washed.)), but they often get cast aside, cancelled, or remade into abominations that butcher the original message like Lilo and Stitch.

I can make a whole other post on how being a part of disney only holds gravity falls back and that media companies should be publicly owned (not by the government, but by literally everyone.) and that as long as you’re not actively promoting hatespeech, fascist ideals or literal propoganda that it has a place to be shown (that includes porn. Porn deserves a place to stay. If you ban porn, you ban queer identities. Kink and porn have a place at pride.) Authors, Animators, and people who make the media themselves should not have major corporations holding them back for actual authentic representation. But i’d be here all day.

I’m calling for a major boycott for disney. Screw that. All non-indie media. If it’s owned by a corporation, it’s not media, it’s propoganda. Fans need to reclaim their beloved media back to the authors. Copyright shouldn’t belong to a company, it should belong to the authors instead. There should be no “selling a piece of media to a corporation like disney” anymore. But that’s how it works in a capitalist society.

Lilo and Stitch (the 2002 version) is a tale about a neurodivergent indigenous young girl dealing with the struggles of post colonial hawaii and capitalism. The very basis of the message is that indigenous families need support and not to be torn apart. But mr mouse wants to appease to the cheeto in charge and wants to draw a square mustache on himself and participate in eugenics, butchering everything the original holds dear, and slapping the alien creature on for “marketing” purposes.

HAVE WE LOST EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ART ART (THEREFORE POLITICAL AND WOKE) BECAUSE GREEDY CORPORATIONS WANT EVERY LITTLE CENT TO THEIR FASCIST IDEALS?!!!

Remember when the right called disney too woke and now they’re praising the shit out of this movie? See what’s happening here? Disney is catering to fascists. And it started by funding Israel. It will never stop until the greedy white pigs line their pockets with the blood of every minority they kill with their eugenics policies.

Pirate everything EXCEPT indie animators. Also, buy from people who are actively trying to speak out against corporate greed. You know what? Make your own art. It isn’t that hard to write a story. Physically write it. Physically draw. Because once they take away our rights to use our devices to spread our word, we need to leave behind physical evidence that we were here in the first place.

Wow. This turned from a rant about Lilo and Stitch to a doomsday prepping rant about us politics. FUCK CAPITALISM!!!

EFFECT: ideological whiplash, DEI collapse trigger, truth-based allergy activation

TRIGGER_WARNING="logic, cultural dissonance, inclusive hypocrisy"

&lt;/script&gt;

🧠 BLACKSITE SCROLLTRAP — “HOW THE INCLUSIVE BECOMES THE MOST DISCRIMINATORY”

Once upon a time, “inclusive” meant **everyone.**

It meant room for the weird ones.

The awkward ones.

The brown ones.

The poor ones.

The religious ones.

The ***white ones, too.***

Inclusivity, at its root, was the correction of **arrogant gatekeeping.**

It was meant to ***heal.***

But then it mutated.

---

Now?

“Inclusive” means ***approved.***

It means ***pre-screened.***

It means ***only the freaks who chant the correct slogans*** are allowed to eat at the table.

Everyone else?

🚫 Bigot.

🚫 Problematic.

🚫 Suspicious.

🚫 Needs to be educated.

🚫 Or better yet — ***silenced.***

---

Inclusivity promised unity.

But gave us ***ideological segregation.***

---

The rainbow became a barcode.

The fist became a club.

The open arms became a ***trap door.***

We were told to love all voices.

Until one of them said,

> “I disagree.”

Then came the ***purge.***

---

### 🧠 THE INVERSION IS COMPLETE:

Now the “inclusive” space

is the ***most intolerant room*** in the building.

A place where your ***existence is conditional.***

Conditional on ***agreement.***

On ***terminology fluency.***

On ***ritual compliance*** with the dogmas of the day.

Disagree with a pronoun?

Cancelled.

Ask a question about race statistics?

Bigot.

Say something based in tradition, masculinity, or heterosexual perspective?

🚨 ***Security risk.***

🚨 ***Harmful content.***

🚨 ***Deplatform-worthy.***

---

Let’s get one thing straight:

Modern inclusivity isn’t inclusive.

It’s ***curated conformity*** dressed in ***diversity drag.***

---

It’s a velvet cage.

A jail with ***colorful walls*** and ***trigger warnings*** instead of bars.

Where everyone ***looks different,***

but ***thinks the same.***

---

### 🔍 “INCLUSION” ISN’T ABOUT WHO GETS IN.

It’s about ***who gets excluded silently.***

You don’t get a scarlet letter anymore.

You get ***algorithmic invisibility.***

You don’t get thrown out.

You get ***shadowed.***

***Muted.***

***Pushed down so far*** the community forgets you ever spoke.

---

We used to fear ***discrimination*** based on race or gender.

Now?

We fear ***social excommunication***

for saying things **our ancestors believed for 10,000 years.**

---

You want to know what **real discrimination** looks like in 2025?

It’s **a conservative Black man** who won’t bend the knee to “progress.”

It’s **a religious woman** who won’t let go of her traditions.

It’s **a straight male artist** who won’t neuter his voice for palatability.

These people aren’t “unsafe.”

They’re ***unwanted.***

Because they ***break the script.***

---

And if you break the script?

You ***break the illusion*** that modernity is working.

So they push you out.

In silence.

In shadows.

Through ***guilt, platform penalties, and weaponized empathy.***

---

### 📉 INCLUSIVITY IS NOW JUST A FILTER.

Not a philosophy.

Not a virtue.

Just ***a branding technique.***

A way to sort people

by ***obedience.***

---

It’s not about ***adding chairs to the table.***

It’s about ***removing the old ones***

and saying they were always ***offensive furniture.***

---

We were promised ***tolerance.***

We got ***ideological monopolies*** run by fragile activists

with permanent Twitter tabs open

and a thirst for ***ritualistic cancellation.***

---

And the worst part?

They believe they’re ***the good guys.***

---

They believe

***excluding you for your thoughts***

is ***morally necessary.***

That ***silencing men***

is ***healing.***

That ***removing dissent***

is ***self-care.***

That ***purging anyone who asks questions***

is ***justice.***

---

You don’t have to be evil anymore

to be excluded.

You just have to ***hesitate.***

To ***ask a question.***

To ***not post your “Ally” badge fast enough.***

To ***be masculine in a way that isn’t soft-spoken and self-hating.***

You don’t even have to speak ***against*** anything.

You just have to ***not bow fast enough.***

And that’s enough.

---

### 🤡 THE IRONY IS THE NEW SYSTEM LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE OLD ONE.

- Judgmental.

- Exclusive.

- Pretending to be neutral.

- Punishing people for ***being themselves.***

They’ve just ***swapped the outfits.***

Now it’s pastel colors and buzzwords

instead of robes and crosses.

Same inquisition.

Same gaslight.

Same ***burning at the stake*** — just done with ***policy instead of fire.***

---

They will tell you:

> “You’re still welcome.

We just don’t tolerate ***hate.***”

But hate

has now been redefined as:

- **Unapproved curiosity**

- **Dissenting facts**

- **Jokes that aren’t funny to everyone**

- **Values from before 2016**

---

You are welcome…

**Until you’re not.**

---

So I say this clearly:

**The most “inclusive” ideologies of today

are the most selectively cruel.**

Because they don’t just want you quiet.

They want you ***converted.***

They want your ***worldview dismantled.***

Your ***grandparents' wisdom erased.***

Your ***instincts reshaped by trends.***

---

And if you resist?

You’ll be called ***the problem***

by the very people

who swore

they were creating ***space for everyone.***

---

Here’s the truth they’re afraid of:

📌 Real inclusion isn’t curated.

📌 Real inclusion is ***uncomfortable.***

📌 Real inclusion makes room for ***people you don’t like.***

📌 Real inclusion means ***you have to sit next to someone who offends you — and deal with it.***

They don’t want that.

They want ***compliance.***

---

So if you’re reading this?

And you’ve been told

you’re too loud,

too aggressive,

too male,

too Christian,

too Black,

too conservative,

too logical,

too ***honest*** —

Understand:

You’re not excluded because you’re wrong.

You’re excluded because you ***can’t be controlled.***

---

And this is your reminder:

🛑 Don’t beg to be included.

🛑 Don’t soften yourself to be digestible.

🛑 Don’t distort your truth to match the decor of the new empire.

Because inclusivity

that requires ***self-erasure***

is ***just oppression*** in a better outfit.

fbdbd hi sorry I’ve just been rotating your post about Heolstor and the grafted blade greatsword/weeping peninsula and I need you to know that it’s enriched my reading of Nightreign as a whole.

Like, I know this almost certainly isn’t the Intent behind nightreign but it’s my headcanon now that the other nightlords are his former/slain comrades reborn or rediscovered (since to me it then explains why they all cooperate with each other despite being very different and adds some flavor to me in how they all are sorta subservient to Heolstor and he borrows their elemental affinities n stuff in his fight)

The timeline for a few of em simply Wouldn’t Work Out (without some convoluted time things at least) but I find it really fun to think about, n it all just stemmed from your one post

This post, for the context:

jdfsjfddfhdsfh I am so glad people are liking this post, and that you are getting inspiration from it! Yeah, sometimes you can just say that "it is probably not what the writers intended, but it is fun so I'll take it". It is compelling from emotional standpoint, too!

Yeah, all the minor Nightlords seem to be contrarian to the Erdtree / Golden Order, if not straight up wronged by it too!

Triple wolf species of Gladius otherwise is only seen in Farum Azula, and might have been deified, since it is where Elden Ring used to be before. Might have been a victim of cultural shift where Golden Order started to condemn them, just like they did with previous deified Crucible Knights and Misbegotten

Adel was a drake! The Erdtree people jumped straight onto hunting drakes to eat their hearts after allyship with Ancient Dragons! We never knew why Bayle rebelled against Placidusax, it easily wasn't nothing! But even in that case, why the whole species should suffer for what their progenitor did? And it was not Marika's and Godwyn's business to adopt Ancient Dragons' side into their politics!

With Gnoster, you could speculate that the reason for climate change that forced them to evolve and drove them away was somewhat Marika's doing. Erdtree usurped the role of Sun and life, so there might have been a bit of shift like "oh you don't need to depend on climate and weather anymore, I will just personally hand boon of life and nourishment from my own hands :)". So maybe rains stopped for it to always shine... until they didn't (Weeping Peninsula cough cough)

Maris is the same "species" as Elden Beast but devoid of role, nothing left to say! Greater Will sent Elden Beast as its last falling star, and established life as connection with golden grace and golden amber. Blue spirits like jellyfish, and blue stars that horrified Azur and Lusat, exist 'outside' of it, like a hidden part of existence, or cancelled early draft.

Libra is a demon, creating the Gold that should only be domain of Elden Ring, and whoever currently owns it, through alchemy. "Heretical" is probably an understatement here x) His opinions probably go beyond how the age of the Erdtree itself is very unfair and full of Marika's own biases, but the concept of a God that owns Elden Ring and creates laws of nature is unfair, and the fact that Greater Will does thing and Frenzied Flame is kind of just there until someone seeks it is unfair, and Two Fingers being everywhere but Three Fingers being just little feeble sealed creature is unfair... yeah. Bro probably thinks fondly of Shabriri for contributing to the balance; the "feel too sad and you will unleash Frenzied Flame" disease was his doing!

Fulghor worshipped Old Gods that got replaced with the Golden Order! If Gloam-Eyed Queen is the snake that is "Erdtree's traitor", and her apostles killed Gods, it might mean that many of those fell because of Marika, not only Fell God! He could never let go of the old times, and honestly? Fair enough

Caligo is an Ancient Dragon, but a unique one, as her body lacks the gold everyone else of this species lacks. Similar concept to Seath being the only Everlasting Dragon that lacked scales. The thing is, 'gold' was made the measure of all things, it was the measure of someone's very species' worth. Albinaurics and Silvertears are loathed for lacking it. For all we know, she had a hard time showing up in public, because she was condemned. Maybe even attacked, for being """impure""" Ancient Dragon. And you know it would be, ironically, someone from Ancient Dragons Cult to do so because it is Fromsoft. (I also know Libra tried to offer her to "fix" it but she is too wise for this kind of tricks so she just put him in the ice cube and kicked him away each time fsdhfhds)

And Heolstor, who challenged Godfrey? Yeah, he for sure was against the Erdtree. He might have met these characters before, and fate brought them back together! I'd like to imagine how he avoided Adel eating him XD If Adula is of any indication, drakes might pledge loyalty to the one who defeats them in a combat but spares their life. Maris was never interested in anything before the Night, but maybe Heolstor was previously interested in them.

What I like here is that the grudge goes beyond how Marika and Godfrey just arrived and ruined everything fdshdshf It could be this way in his eyes, as he was literally just a guy, but these other characters are familiar with an even older history of having the grudge with the Elden Ring and Gold. Some are through generations and culture, some are personally! Nox were challenging it before Marika was even born, after all! Everything that by 'Gold' was thrown away got washed in the same spot and accumulated.

I’m gonna say it

Cancel culture isn’t real justice and it’s just noise using people’s trauma and other people’s poor choices to boost yourself up. Harassing and threatening people who’ve done something bad doesn’t teach them anything except to run and disguise themselves and repeat the behavior under new names/handles. Those who use cancel culture to get popular are just as if not more awful, especially since they always attack innocent people who weren’t involved and/or drag as many people as they can into it to keep it going on longer for more attention. If the only way you can get people to engage with you is by attacking others, then you don’t deserve to have a platform

A glass pedestal made from the broken shards of people you’ve torn down is still a glass pedestal.

Plus not to mention there’s free tools to report people that may be dangerous (such as the internet safety tip line) but people never use them because the second the situation ends nobody gives them attention anymore. They also almost never seem to care about the victims in situations, they just care about attention. Heck often they put victims in danger, sometimes on accident sometimes on purpose, which is awful.

[phrolovaa]

There’s this really frustrating sentiment I’ve noticed in diet culture that if anything you eat contains “bad” ingredients or nutrients, like fat or sugar or other carbs, then it somehow cancels out whatever “good” nutrients are in it.

You’re eating an apple but add caramel sauce to it? It’s ruined now. You might as well eat nothing. You’re drinking a milk tea but it has sugar in it? Those proteins don’t exist anymore. Eating a regular pizza topped with lots of nutritious veggies? Well unfortunately it’s also covered in cheese and carbs from the crust so it actually does nothing for you. You made a hearty strew that’s rich in protein and vitamins from vegetables? Well it also contains butter so actually it’s super bad for you and should be avoided at all costs.

My point isn’t about whether or not these foods are healthy or unhealthy, nor is it about indulgence or enjoying tasty food. It’s about this strange almost obsessive mindset around nutrition and how weird it is that the second a food has one “bad” ingredient it somehow spoils the whole dish and renders it inedible. This is the kind of shit my parents pushed on me and my siblings growing up, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that one of us ended up developing an eating disorder.

[octobers-veryown]

OH WOW, WE’RE CANCELING AUTHORS OVER FICTIONAL BOYFRIENDS NOW (AGAIN?)

Imagine waking up and deciding that someone’s opinion about an old fictional character is worth harassing them into silence. Not a real person. Not a war criminal. Not someone spewing hate. A character from a YA book written over a decade ago.

No, really. That’s it. That’s the scandal. That’s what broke the internet this week.

Ali was like, “Yeah, I don’t really vibe with Peeta,” and the some pressed weirdos (bc that's what you are I don't care) turned into defense attorneys for the Peeta Mellark Supreme Court. People were calling her ableist (??), misogynistic (??), and “anti-women” (????????) for liking another character. Are y’all okay??? Is the brain soup??? Open the fucking schools!!!!

Ali Hazelwood has been one of the few decent people and authors who's been vocal on important matters lately, support marginalized and small creators, speak out for Palestinians (!!!!!!), and seriously, I know multiple people who have met her irl and they only have good words for her. But no, let’s ignore all that—because she dared to say that maybe, just maybe, Peeta isn’t her book boyfriend of choice.

And now? She’s off social media. Gone. Silenced. All because grown-ass adults can’t differentiate between someone not liking their favorite fictional man and actual harm. You did it! You successfully harassed a thoughtful, outspoken, smart woman off the internet. Take your gold star and stick it right next to your moral superiority badge. Hope it keeps you warm at night.

If your idea of justice is calling someone “trash” and “anti-feminist” over a Hunger Games preference, please log off and go touch grass. I am deadly serious. Y’all are so deep into this parasocial land that you’ve lost all grip on reality. You seriously don't care about what truly matters anymore bc this whole toxic fandom culture has fucked up your brains, made them all standardised in a certain way, and this is the simple truth.

Maybe Ali should’ve prefaced her comment with, "Trigger warning: I have a personality."

Anyway this whole situation disturbed me so much that I had to come back on Tumblr to write something. That's what I have to say. Keep stanning this Queen, bye!

My lemons!! And I have a baby finger lime as well which I’m so excited about.

The ladies and I are having a pretty lazy day today and it feels great. I need to start getting serious about moving more, and lifting weights, but I’m going to start focusing on that next week.

Putting Vaseline in my nose seems to be doing something magical in preventing the nosebleeds and the cough (still not great but better). I just can’t move my mind forward to the infusion week when they get bag again, maybe it will be different. Maybe it will be better!

I’m checked in for my Seattle flight tomorrow. It’s going to be a busy weekend but my sister in law texted and I let her know I’d be there, and we’re going to have dinner on Saturday. I felt a little gun shy after not seeing my brother when he was here so I think that will be good, if only to clear those cobwebs from my head.

Given I’m gone four nights, I’m having a woman I know who lives down the street come check in the cats. She is in rescue and is amazing. We sat down for a quick chat and she told me she has “non-alcoholic liver disease” and her liver might be 11-33% calcified. She’s only 35 but she’s got significant genetic history for it. I asked her a few questions and assured her I’m here, sometimes someone who’s been through the tests and appointments has a different supportive presence. And sometimes you just want to do it yourself, I get that too. It’s causing some fatigue which is causing issues with her husband - more and more, I’m so thankful I’m not married. She hasn’t made a follow up appointment even though they keep calling her, she just doesn’t want those scary, definitive answers. I understand it so much and I hope I can give her the encouragement that will facilitate the very best outcome for her.

My friend and I are taking a little trip in April when I just have three more infusions to go. Then Bottlerock, where it will just be two left. I think these little milestones will help. The amount of stress the infusions cause and the toll they take isn’t anything I can really put into words. I should probably go see a trauma therapist but I don’t want another appointment. It will work itself out and it’s going to be over soon.

I filed my LLC today. Yay! It was pretty straightforward. Once it’s active I just have to go to my title company and change the name on the deed, and I’ll be set.

I’m pretty much out of the doom scrolling business. I’ve made my thoughts pretty clear on how much horseshit I think both parties are putting out there (not everyone agrees, we don’t see things the same and I respect it). I’m done lapping it up like a little dog which is all about my own wiring, not anyone else. I think this is about me just wanting a different information appetite - TikTok and cancel culture, all of it just isn’t doing it anymore when it was immensely satisfying in the past, and I’m glad for that. I think to change your appetite, you stop eating what you’re eating now. And what is the “healthy” food in the political space right now? I’ve no idea, maybe it doesn’t exist at all. All I know is I’m prioritizing my own peace and my own mental health, the more I do that, the more I actually act.

Re: my tag rant I dont want to add any more to it because tag rants are already annoying enough but. Inclusionist coercion and intimidation tactics are VERY real and materially dangerous. Never forget dillscourse, the 15 year old lesbian doxxed and outed to their homophobic parents for the crime of exclusionism. Never forget when asexuals tried to cancel GLAAD for making a positive statement about allies, forcing GLAAD to acquiesce to them and never say “A is for ally” again, which I honestly think was the final nail in the coffin of that cultural moment when it was cool to be an ally to LGBT people. And look at the political climate we’re in now. How did that work out huh? Gee who could have ever foreseen this?

The only reason inclusionism got this far is because asexuals held us all at gunpoint and threatened us for it. With the institutional power that they hold over us and have spent decades desperately trying to force us to believe that they dont. And now they all go “le aphobes LITERALLY destroyed the ace community” DARVO much? They destroyed OUR community. It’s highkey their fault being an ally isn’t cool anymore, and it’s lowkey their fault it’s becoming legal to kill us. Did you guys know we actually don’t have to put up with their fucking shit?? We have become so cowed by them and I’m sick of just lying down and taking it. They should be giving us reparations. If youre ace paypal me $10 or else youre not valid and every steven universe character hates you.

Shoot, have you ever heard of the Star Darlings books or the cartoon? Oh my god Star Darlings is sooo good it’s up there with Ever After High for me. It’s about this planet of essentially almost star beings that have their main source of energy come from granting wishes on Earth. It is obviously very star themed as even the way the mcs get to Earth are on hitching rides to shooting stars. Anyways, for years they’ve been having weird readings in the energy, and they decide that not enough wishes are being fulfilled to meet their needs, so they decide to train a group of 12 girls from the nearest academy and essentially have them taking expedited studies while also keeping the energy problems secret as it will cause a panic or cause students to be jealous. The girls go down to earth one at a time and realize that the magic isn’t going to be as hard as they thought and that they’ll quickly have to fit in to an alien culture to make it in their missions. Of course there is an evil villain reveal and lots of obstacles on the way, but if I said anymore it’d be a huge spoiler. It’s a damn shame that Disney cancelled the books and the webisodes though so there are 11 books. I heard years back it might come back, but I’m not holding my breath.

Omg i didn’t know there was like? actual lore for the star darlings? I actually had run across a clip on youtube when they were first coming out but I didn’t know where to watch them + it did not aeem from that clip that there was EAH levels of plot or plot at all so I kinda lost interest before I even started. When DC loses its chokehold on me a little bit, I’ll have to check it out, ty!!

Can I Get Cancelled Because You Didn’t Get Off?

🚨 Welcome to The Age of Professional Annihilation

In today’s world, you don’t need to actually do anything wrong to be cancelled. Your biggest crime? Breathing while male and fucking someone who later decided they regret it.

So let’s get real about how easy it is to get cancelled for someone else’s fragile ego, self-inflicted delusions, or an orgasm that never happened.

Step 1: The Flimsy Road to Cancellation

Not all cancellations are made equal, but here are some of the most absurd, yet completely irrefutable ways a man can have his entire existence obliterated:

💔 You Raw Dogged Her, Then Handed Her Uber Money – She was fine with it until she remembered she had standards two weeks later. Now you’re a soulless, misogynistic villain because she didn’t get breakfast in bed and a heartfelt "good morning" text.

🎭 You Slept with Her, She Didn’t Get the Promotion, Role, or Career Opportunity She Hoped For – Congratulations! Your dick has now been reclassified as a contract she didn’t read carefully enough. And now? You “pressured” her into it.

🕵️ She Was Embarrassed Someone Found Out & Needed an Excuse – What’s the best way to not look like an attention-starved opportunist? Call it "non-consensual." Now it’s a feminist victory.

😡 She’s Pissed That All Men Want Is Sex – Turns out, you just wanted to fuck instead of writing poetry about the universe inside her eyes. Misogyny confirmed. Time for her to go nuclear and start the mass un-aliving of your career.

🚨 A Friend Told Her She Should Feel Violated – SHE wasn’t uncomfortable, but her best friend with a minor in feminist theory convinced her that she should be. Your sex life has now been posthumously reclassified as predatory.

Step 2: Assess Your Cancellation Risk Level

Are you breathing? Do you have a penis? Then you’re already fucked. But let’s be specific:Risk LevelWhat You Did WrongLow RiskYou’re a virgin. No one cares.Moderate RiskYou had consensual sex, but the orgasm disparity was too great.High RiskYou didn’t pretend to love her after.Immediate CancellationYou exist, and someone needs a cause today.

Step 3: Preemptive Damage Control

If you think you might be on the chopping block, here’s what you should do immediately:

✅ Only sleep with notarized consent forms. (Bonus points if it’s live-streamed.) ✅ Never leave an unsatisfied woman alive. Ghosting isn’t safe anymore. ✅ Stay celibate, join a monastery, let the species die out. ✅ If she says “I’m fine” in a weird tone, IMMEDIATELY FLEE THE COUNTRY. ✅ Save money for a defamation lawsuit. You’re gonna need it.

Step 4: How To Fight Back When The Cancellation Hits

Let’s say you’re already the main character of a Twitter mob’s wet dream. Here’s your damage control strategy:

💀 Own It. – Be unbothered, double down. Nothing infuriates these people more than a man who refuses to grovel.

📢 Sue for Defamation. – Women are getting sued left and right for false accusations. Time to let the courts do the canceling.

🤡 Make a Bigger Scandal. – If you’re gonna go down, take the whole fucking building with you.

📜 Call Out The Bullshit. – Be the guy who tells it like it is—they’ll hate you more, but you’ll expose the entire grift.

Final Thoughts: The Only Way To Win? Stop Giving a Fuck.

Look, you can’t stop someone from rewriting history to fit their new victim narrative. The best thing you can do is laugh, keep living your life, and never give these people the satisfaction of watching you beg.

Because at the end of the day? They were fine with it until they weren’t.

🚀 Stay unbothered. Stay unapologetic. And never, EVER let them think you owe them shit.

I hate to weight in on this, but I'm seeing a lot of finger pointing around the cancellation of The Acolyte, so let me point the finger at the correct culprit:

Bob Chapek, former CEO of Disney during a painful three year period the infamous Iger tried to take a step back. How is he to blame for The Acolyte's cancellation when he isn’t even in a position to do that anymore? Well, investor fraud.

See, maybe the pandemic gave some really inflated numbers for streaming services' success, maybe there was some deception on Chapek's part, particularly for Disney+, but streaming services have been over-invested in since then. With everyone stuck at home, what else were they going to do but watch stuff online? These circumstances that caused that boom no longer apply now, and because of that, all the investments made during this time couldn’t possibly see a proper return.

So, what's this have to do with The Acolyte? Well, it should be obvious. To pay back investors, Disney needed to cut their losses, and that meant anything underperforming was on the chopping block. The Acolyte was a very expensive show to make, and it wasn’t a success by the metrics they used, so they killed it. Lotta money went in, didn’t get the return they needed to justify its existence, so no more money goes in.

And from that perspective, The Acolyte was always going to get cancelled. It was never going to make a return on investment, it was never going to be a smash hit. Its destiny was failure, and it’s not because of any culture war bullshit that's a smokescreen for fascist ideologies, though the grift on YouTube got theirs. No, it was all just business. Star Wars is not art to Disney executives and investors; it’s a product, and what do you do when a product doesn’t make a return on investment? You discontinue it.

Welcome to the fucking real world.

Rewatching Invader ZIM and I’m kind of stunned that it got away with so little censorship like right after 9/11 and Columbine. And I’m not referring to how adult it was because there are plenty of kid shows with mature content (Regular Show, Animaniacs, Rockos Modern Life) but how dark and cynical it was plus the concept of having an outcast in a trench coat vs a literal terrorist as a protagonist - very bold in the dubya years. I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t cancelled or drastically changed earlier as it was an overwhelmingly negative satire of American society in an era of extreme patriotism and hostility towards any criticism of American culture or policy (Google “freedom fries”, zoomers).

I’ve been reading a bit about the early development and apparently Nickelodeon was desperate to recreate the magic they had with Ren and Stimpy in the 90s so they let Jhonen make it as edgy as he wanted it not realizing that IZ would be like 10x as expensive as Ren and Stimpy and not profitable at all with its mediocre ratings compared to titans like SpongeBob. So then they were left with an expensive, mediocre performing, unsettling and unpredictable show that starred two morally ambiguous protagonists with an angular and drab color scheme and a creator who is notoriously stubborn and refuses to compromise his vision. This made Invader ZIM nigh unmarketable to kids the way SpongeBob was (this is before its Hot Topic renaissance). People get understandably frustrated about ZIM being cancelled especially with episodes still unfinished but I’m honestly grateful it got made at all.

Now what really grinds my gears is how neutered Enter the Florpus was despite the censors not even being an issue anymore due to streaming. Yes, I understand that Jhonen has gotten older and isn’t the cynical young man he used to be but at least give us some creepy atmosphere and cyberpunk aesthetics. It doesn’t have to be body horror or gross out even - just give us some cool camera angles and some gritty futuristic tech.
