Every day I find out another person I care about in some way is a terrible person why the hell do I keep getting attached to horrible people—

Warning: descriptions of some of the said horrible people below, read the tw tags if you need them.

One friend suddenly started to be homophobic when they got comfortable enough with me, another started to get super pissed off if I ever had to end a conversation earlier than three hours and would constantly want me to solve all their problems, another I thought was cool until I found out they’d been being racist on twitter and I couldn’t see it cause I don’t have a twitter account, another (an adult) followed me and was friends with me when I was a teenager and literally waited until I was 18 to start hitting on me, multiple people I tried to make friends with in a couple different fandoms I’ve found out were writing and circulating CP or just in general porn addicted, and another started up drama that included using a friend’s trauma they opened up about as reference to write and draw CP and cheating on their spouse, a couple ended up saying transphobic shit around me, I recently found out one was racist enough to be calling for death to people, one of my old middle school friends turned into a complete dick in high school and I found out recently is in jail—

And even outside of people I’ve actually known personally, it seems like every musician, artist, YouTuber, actor etc. are all either dying or rapidly being outed as absolutely horrible of all kinds and it’s just fucking disheartening man.

I’m getting genuinely paranoid of talking to or trusting people at all lately, it’s been insane. I don’t even wanna use instagram anymore and tumblr hasn’t been all that much better tbh. I’m starting to lose all motivation for anything too.

Shit’s just fucked up.

I have a really important question

So, as some of you may know, I'm creating an entirely-told-through-comic story of my rewrite of Disney's Wish. My rewrite changes Asha's personality to fit with who I enjoy to see in media, edits her design to make her less generic and more representational of the culture she is from, and adds a Starboy to act as her foil and trigger her character arc (as she does to him). Asha in The Fallen Star is a spoiled, Kusco-like princess insistent on getting her wish to become the greatest sorceress granted by her adoptive father, King Magnus. She doesn't care much for the people of her kingdom and yet still expects them to obey her every command. She's rude, self-centered, and sassy.

Now, I'm 100% on Korean, which means I am not black at all. So I've been doing some research about black culture and traditions to make sure I'm accurately representing Asha, even if it is in my own silly little rewrite. A great account I recommend following is @creatingblackcharacters, as they have so many good resources for writing black characters, especially if you're not poc.

For example, I cut out a scene where some children in Rosas braided Asha's hair with flowers (a reference to Tangled) because I learned that hair is a very important thing in black culture. I didn't want Asha to protest having people she was uncomfortable with do her hair because Starboy told her to be nice. Her braids are a special thing that connects her to her birth parents, and respecting that boundary was more important than shoving a reference in for me.

Now, I recently came across another article addressing the "angry black woman" stereotype in media. A pretty famous example of this is that patronizing and racist comic panel of Serena Williams. Essentially, the stereotype is suggesting that a black woman being angry is because she's a "beast" and "can't control her emotions" instead of thinking why she could be justifiably angry.

Here's the thing. TFS!Asha gets angry. She yells. She throws things and lashes out at people. She has visible muscles and a strong build. She makes threats and hurls insults. She loses control of herself at times. She has panic attacks and is closed-off and rude after she comes out of them. She's Kusco on steroids, basically, if Kusco was fueled by not only wayyyy to much self-confidence, but fear that if he didn't guard his heart, it would get shattered.

Part of Asha's arc is her learning to move forward (not move on) from her trauma as a child, when Stars rained down and killed her parents. She puts up with more stuff and learns to temper her anger, but she's still passionate. She's still witty and sarcastic. She's just opened herself up to other people, now.

Now here's my question: do you think my Asha is the "angry black woman" stereotype?

I can't think of any examples off the top of my head where this is shown nicely in media. If you do think that Asha is a caricature, please please tell me what could be improved! I really want to make sure I'm respectful of Asha's Amazigh heritage and to actually showcase parts of that if I can.

Sorry for the long read! TLDR; my Asha gets angry, but is she the angry black woman stereotype?

Yknow, dating sims sure do make up the wildest shit to justify you dating standard anime guys. Hey, do you want to date actual historical figures (Napoleon, Vincent Van Gogh) but as vampires? How about you get isekaied into the middle of a fantasy civil war with the warring armies representing different Alice in Wonderland characters and Wonderland is actually a generic fantasy kingdom and btw you are the reincarnation of Alice for some reason, oh hey you want to date these mafia guys in 1920s Italy but Mussolini is not mentioned (almost as if what’s the fucking point setting this game in Italy) Or what if you want to date modern Japanese cops? BUT DONT WORRY ALL COPS ARENT BAHHHD. Do you also want to discuss the inherent corruption in the police for- Hey, you wanna play as a time-travelling reporter who finds a wholesome found family with her studio-mandated male harem? Sure, but after we spend two hours failing to tackle drug trafficking and illegal immigration and using trauma for shock value. What about a game where you play a woman who suffered amnesia and is trying to piece back the fragments of her past with her chosen boyfriend and you have to rekindle your relationship with him? Nah, lets leave all her characterisation to a pixie flying in her head and make her harem consist of an abuser, a serial rapist, her math tutor and a terrorist. Theres one where you play as a librarian who got kidnapped and sent to the palace and is forced to sign a royal contract where you have to MONITOR 1 OUT OF 12 PRINCES to see which one should be the king cos the brothers are split into two parties on which one should be king and only the woman can choose cos apparently the contract need some pure hearted woman to be an unbiased party?? WHATT. There's a game where you play as a literal living doll with poisonous skin who's the clone of someone's long dead daughter being abducted by a fancy thief and now lives in steampunk London to start a new life BUT OOOHHH IT TURNS OUT YOU HAVE A SECRET LITTLE BROTHER WHO REVEALS YOU WERE THE 666TH CLONE EVER EXISTED AND IT TURNS OUT YOUR CREATOR DAD HATED YOU WOOOOOO SCARY!!! QUEEN VICTORIA IS THERE AND ALSO A TERRORIST WHO WANTS TO NUKE GREAT BRITAIN WITH THE MC'S POWERS AND A MAGIC TREE. (well at least they were accurate in Britain's vampiric levels of colonisation) OH AND APPARENTLY THE SOURCE OF YOUR POWERS COMES FROM A HEART SHAPED PHILOSOPHER'S STONE EMBEDDED IN YOUR CLEAVAGE.

BUT WAIT THERE'S STILL MORE

There's another game where you play as the female reincarnation of Cupid (So Aphrodite, then?) and you are sent to Earth to be a matchmaker and you would think someone whos a literal love goddess would be very worldly, snarky and doesnt fall for any traps men pull in dating BUT NOPE SHES JUST AS DAINTY AND NAIVE AS EVERY OTHER VISUAL NOVEL PROTAGONIST. WHAT ABOUT A GAME WHERE YOU PLAY AS A WOMAN WHO JUST TURNED 18 AND BECAUSE SHE IS THE LAST OF HER "WHITE" CLAN SHE HAS TO GET A HUSBAND AND EVERY TIME SHE DATES A PERSON FROM A DIFFERENT COLOURED CLAN HER HAIR GETS DIFFERENT HIGHLIGHTS AND ALSO THERES A RIGID CASTE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD BASED ON THE COLOUR OF YOUR CLAN AND THERE IS DISCRIMINATION AND PREJUDICES AGAINST THE CONSIDERED LOWER COLOURS, SO MUCH SO IF A HIGHER COLOUR CLAN PERSON DATES A LOWER COLOUR CLAN PERSON, THEY GET BANISHED INTO THE UNDERWORLD. COS THATS WHAT DATING SIMS NEED! CLASSISM, RACISM AND EUGENICS! THE WHOLE FUCKING NINE YARDS.

AND FINALLY IF THAT DOESNT SELL YOU, WHAT ABOUT:

A GAME WHERE YOU PLAY AS A DAUGHTER OF A PRIEST WHO HAS THE BLOOD OF EVE (my god XD) THAT MAKES HER IRRESISTABLE TO VAMPIRES AND SHE BECOMES A SEX SLAVE/CHEW TOY FOR EVERY ROMANCEABLE CHARACTER IN THE STORY. AND YET WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SYMPATHISE WITH THE RAPIST VAMPIRES BECAUSE THEY HAVE MOMMY ISSUES....THIS GAME BECAME A MULTIMEDIA FRANCHISE

...Whatever happened to games where we just date decent people?

Random thought blurb, non-fandom related

rating my teachers

(red rates teaching skill, blue is personal opinion)

1st Period - 2/10 6/10

English. He hasn’t spoken to us in about a week and doesn’t really teach a lot - he gives us words to write on the board every day and then just lets everyone on their phone. It’s an stress-less first period, though I feel like we’re not learning much.

2nd Period - 4/10 3/10

Marine Biology. It’s a common opinion I’ve found this teacher is frustrating. She assigns us about 2-4 papers a day, and doesn’t tell us what to turn it, getting mad when we turn in notes. She’s also very unsociable and doesn’t allow kids to leave her class for any reason, including nurse.

3nd Period - 8/10 7/10

Art. She’s very big on individual help and really pushes the kids in the class both with notes and art, which is incredibly useful. She’s blunt and some people do find it rude, but I think it’s very helpful. She balances the amount of artwork/notes we do well.

4th Period - 10/10 8/10

Geometry. I don’t agree with this teachers personal ideals, as his ideologies are rather bigoted (he’s racist on his public video game account he shared with the class), but he’s an AMAZING teacher. I hate math, and I’ve never left that room feeling confused. Makes his own notes and doesn’t call kids dumb for asking questions.

5th Period - 9/10 10/10

Theater. We do a mix of notes and stage work as I’m in the advanced class, and my teacher is great at her job. She’s respected and fun, and never makes class boring whilst also keeping it education - even if we’re just doing note work. And we’re allowed to use the loudspeaker in the room to play any song we want, as long as it’s theater. (I am limited to one Hatchetfield song every two days.)

6th Period - 6/10 1/10

English. She’s not a BAD teacher teaching wise - though she’s incredibly judgmental and very loudly announces students lower level questions. Her main issue is she’s INCREDIBLY rude, to me especially. I wish I could say it was because I did something wrong, but it’s because of personal opinion sadly - another kid decided to randomly tell her I was trans and she became incredibly rude and loud about it.

7th Period - 8/10 8/10

Technical Engineering. Great class, she doesn’t teach us stuff in the traditional sense - preferring we figure out assignments on our own using the open, unrestricted AUTOCAD engine, but she and a handful of assistants are always available for help, and they’re all super non-judgmental of coding skill. They also allow all food in class, and we can talk as long as the volume is low.

TW! Rant

No but, when people just call our country the most 'horrible' one, when people think that our country is filled with 'predators', when people think that guys in our country are lustful and crap, when crappy media thinks that our country is the most poorest, when it criticize our government's decisions, how our religion taught nothing but to assault, but forget that there are problems within their own country, like how women are assaulted everywhere, how to resolve their 'immigration' problem, how people (irrespective of their nationality) are being more vile!

And yes, I'm talking about crappy topics, like Canada (no hate, tho. I just don't like that prime minister cause he blamed my country without any evidence), Western media (always eager to see the 'bad' side of our country, to earn money), people with ignorance and hatred, r*cist bananas who grew up with a low-standard life.

Not to mention that I was s*xually harassed online by two faggots (far worse than viruses), and yet one of them had to 🤮 because of my nationality. Too bad, I know where they are from.

So much for calling my dad and my male cousins 'predators'.

F*ck Canada and Britain, f*ck that Canadian prime minister, f*ck rasicm and all those racist who have discriminated my religion. I hope they suffer and rot!

P.S: I love people, but some of them just don't deserve my love and respect. You can block me or unfollow me if you want to, but don't insult me if I'm from a country which you don't like. And Western media should focus on their own countries, not on ours. We can handle on our own.

[underwhelming-universe]

Hey, so I'd really appreciate some help with something.

I am really close to my great aunt and uncle. My great uncle is currently not doing so well but that's not really what I wanna talk about.

But they are pretty racist, transphobic, homophobic and just a lot of things like that, but I still really care about them because I've known them all my life, and I know they care about me a lot as well.

Would I be in the wrong if I continued to hold them in a similar light as before I figured out about their xenophobia? I'm perfectly ready/comfortable to remain closeted to them, and I don't really want to argue with them about it?

Should I do anything? Sorry for the long post I'm kinda struggling here.

[obsidianjewel]

Are there seriously still people out here who don’t know about that racist retcon of Talia? And those who believe it? Like I'm pretty sure it's not even canon anymore.

Like Talia was a great person for 50 years until some dude with mommy issues decided to demonize her :/

EDIT: Pre-Morrison Talia and Bruce were an actual in love couple with real honest chemistry and romance. And in the original story the child that will become Damian is conceived out of this very intense love.

When Morrison wrote the story, they didn't at all reread or actually look at the story they were referencing, which is how we get the Talia drugged Bruce and stole his sperm story. Which is just a lot of demonizing of a brown woman, it's out of character for her, and it's also reduces Talia to nothing but a pawn of her father with no moral compass of her own. Just generally bad, racist, sexist writing. And Morrison has said as much. The person who wrote it has said that they regret writing it and that it was bad and racist writing.

[sugismells]

I know that I'm someone who mainly reblogs and posts art but this topic has been really bugging me lately, and I need to someone to listen as well.

TW: Racism, fetishization, and SA

Anyone else ever noticed how the weirdly buff foreigner men (who I'm guessing are white) always say something racist regarding E class "speaking in their language"? For example, during the pole toppling chapter:

"There's a guy that can speak the standard dialect."

I don't think I have to explain why this is racist.. And even in the fucking sub they say shit like this:

It's just so strange, why is it such an "aha!" moment that an asian person can speak english? I get that they they mainly speak Japanese but like, seriously?? It's even worse when it's used as some shitty character development point for Karma trying to protect Yada:

It's genuinely disgusting that this is one of the scenes where Karma's development shows, and imo this wasn't even GOOD development, there were definitely better scenes for him.

Now I'm not going to show these scenes because they are absolutely revolting, but to push a plot point where a female student is being harmed in vile ways and making it out to be a good thing because "at least she was saved and nothing actually happened" is genuinely the worst and most disgusting points in AssClass. On top of the men sexually harrassing Yada, they were fetishizing her and pushing the racial stereotype of Japanese women being submissive and obedient. This is also played off as a JOKE, and that the men were just "teasing" them. What kind of sick fuck makes jokes like that?

Not only do these men basically threaten to SA a CHILD, spew RACIST BULLSHIT, and having her classmate be nice to them in order for things to not escalate, but it turns out to be a joke and everything is just...okay?? This shit is so REAL and HORRIFYING, especially as an asian person who's AFAB. This isn't fantastic or mind blowing character development, it's just racism and fetishization being overlooked.

If you want to actually write these kinds of scenes properly, actually address the problem, because this shit isn't okay.
