#when people are racist you just have to laugh

[basicallyranpoedogawa]

Okay! Batman fans whining about this! Let's see who keeps their rights during a trump presidency!!!

Bruce Wayne! He might have a decent time because he's rich and white. He might get slack for CANONICALLY being jewish.

Dick Grayson, nope! Romani and from a travelling circus? There's no way he'd have a good time, he'd be hatecrimed. And that's not including the few instances of him being canonically bisexual!

Okay, what about Jason Todd? Nope, he lived in crime alley. He was poor. Both Dick and Jason would be tormented by right wing people even after being adopted by Bruce. Dick especially, again Romani heritage.

Tim Drake is one that would normally be a he'd be fine. But he wouldn't. He's canonically bisexual. So despite being a white man from a well off family, he'd be hatecrimed. He wouldn't have a good time at all due to the prevalent homophobia. He likely would not be able to marry Bernard either.

Next, let's see Stephanie Brown. Not well off, she is a woman, and then there was the teen pregnancy. Yes, steph gave the baby up for adoption, but she still wouldn't have had a good time due to sexism and them just hating non rich people. She would be pressured to keep the baby in an America with trump in power.

Damian Wayne would also have it rough. He's not fully white. He'd have an awful time. Racists are comfortable in a trump run America.

Cassandra cain would have the same issue but she's both not white and a woman. She would have to deal with racism and sexism.

Barbara Gordon, like Stephanie and Cass, would have to deal with sexism. She's also disabled so she'd deal with ableism too.

Duke Thomas is up next, and he'd deal with racism. Again, under a trump Presidency, racists run rampant.

Finally, Kate Kane. Batwoman! Jewish and a woman and a lesbian. She'd deal with antisemitism, sexism, and homophobia.

Now, taking all of that into account, would Bruce Wayne be one of those "leave politics out of this" guys? No. He'd like his family and his family's friends/partners to have rights. Because he's literally Batman. Now do you see how it'd be hard to write heroes? Because you lot sure aren't behaving like heroes.

My qualifications for stating all of this is that I'm a 17 year old trans man that is a aspec bi, and Indian. British Indian ethnically! I also read comics frequently and have read enough about Batman and his kids and his kids' partners and his other relatives to know enough to say this. I'm not American but you know when the British aren't laughing at American politics, it must be really bad.

The amount of comic fans, hero fans, I've seen supporting trump or being apolitical and mad politics gets spoken about is insufferable. Do they read with their eyed closed? Comics have always been a political media! Why do you think Batman exists? Because his parents were killed and nobody stopped it. Why is Batman still a thing? Because there's so much crime that gets pushed aside because said criminals are wealthy or high status.

Mental health this, mental health that. Ya’ll seem fine saying that Checo has Cartel connections and wishing him dead (No, he does not have cartel connections). Ya’ll are absolutely okay with calling Alex a ladyboy (No, he’s not and gender shouldn't matter to ya’ll. Besides if you’re going to say this type of shit say it at Sukhumvit 11 and I’ll be waiting to see your face on national news). You guys keep bringing up Max’s childhood and how he got abuse by his father for laughs (Disgusting). Being very racist to Zhou and all of China and people with Chinese heritage in general (No, we don’t eat dogs and cats). All the shit that was said about Lance (He got money and you don’t. Cry harder). Daniel McLaren saga that were taken as a joke for some group of people (Eating disorders shouldn’t be taken lightly.) Racist shit said to Lewis (People are people no matter the skin color).

This is just some examples that I personally encountered. If you really respect drivers mental health then you shouldn’t use it (mental health) when it is only convenient for you to push your agendas. It’s not “Mental health matters but, except, or, when it comes to”. It’s “Mental health matters period,”

Thank you for reading.

YOU FUCKS VOTED A GODDAMN HITLER FOR FUCKING PRESIDENT. YOU AS IN YOU MANIPULATED TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

TRUMP DOESN'T FUCKING CARE FOR YOU, HE'S ONLY DOING THIS FOR HIMSELF. WHY CAN'T ANY OF YOU SEE THAT? NO MATTER WHAT I SAY, IT WON'T GET THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL. HE'S RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, TRANSPHOBIC, A RAPIST, A FELON, AND JUST ALL THINGS AWFUL.

"Proof?" Y'all don't fucking listen to the proof.

"But in the bible-" Don't mix your religion into this shit. A bunch of y'all who say that are hypocrites anyway.

"You're the one who's manipulated here!" Both are open with their beliefs, but it's obvious to see how bad of a person Trump is with literal video evidence. Now let me say, Kamala, or at least from what I've heard/seen, is not a good person either, but she's so much fucking better for us if you see her policies and videos about her.

Trump CONSTANTLY talks about immigration, which is proven through the debate. And that statement about people in Springfield eating cats and dogs? Honestly, you can't be serious in voting him.

Let me tell you this, Trump is stupid. Obviously he doesn't know how to run a country, but there is one thing. He is.. I think cunning is the word.

I'm in a Politics class right now and not too long ago we were observing his actions and what he does to rally in people, and with this clip of his being confronted about doing something, I think it was about a comment about women, he played it off as a joke. And everyone laughed.

I wholeheartedly believe he's only running because he went against a woman. Because obviously the people rather have a felon in power than a woman. Don't you dare fucking ignore that part and I hope the guilt, from when this country falls apart and YOU'RE left in that dust, consumes you. I hope it eats away at your mind, knowing that we could have had the FIRST woman president, and a potential better economy. And if you chose Trump because he's the "safe" option, sometimes you have to take gambles. And don't DARE fucking say that you'd "Have a woman president. She's just not the right one." I've heard someone say that already, and god that is such bullshit, it's just literally insane. You fucking rather a felon. Why do you put a woman at a high standard and not the other man? Tell me, why?

i don't want to put my uninformed foot in my mouth or get involved with the Discourse but i've been seeing the two extremes of reactions to the korean low birth rates issue (on tumblr and twitter both) and i'm just kind of like. look. i feel like "low birth rates (in many countries but especially japan and korea as part of this conversation) are more broadly the result of capitalism/a culture of overwhelming overwork that makes social relationships and having families incredibly inaccessible to young people" and "low birth rates are very much a part of the current conversation about misogyny and social expectations for women in korea especially in the context of reproduction as 'unpaid labor' for women" are statements that can both be true

genshin players will be like 'boycott genshin guys dont spend any money on it!!!' but then actively play it, post about it, interact with official posts, give every video views, STILL spend money on it regardless they just do it privately, and just overall continue to promote it with their engagement. like well im sorry ur simply just not boycotting.

I have mistakenly scrolled through the fob tag (usually I am not this disappointed tbh) and I must be missing half the conversation because there are so many posts defending the tswift collab but like... without knowing what potential problems people actually have about it

"the fob fanbase is scared of the tswift fanbase" what "they've been friends for years" who is saying this stuff

[alistairian]

Stating the obvious here but I think internet-era people should learn that you probably shouldn't expect that you can talk to everybody the same way you talk with friends and family.

Like the people I'm close with, for the most part, know my intentions and know my politics. I can be blunt and clunky with my words and I'm pretty confident that they know what I'm trying to communicate. I can poke fun my partner's gender or at my dad's bad english because those people know I love and support them.

If I were to make those same comments to a colleague or coworker, however, I think they would be completely justified in thinking I'm an asshole.

When someone keeps saying faggot in a derogatory way and HE doesn't know I'M gay and I don't know HE'S gay, that makes for an incredibly uncomfortable exchange where we both end up pissing each other off. If someone keeps saying retarded and I don't know that they were raised alongside a disabled sibling then I'm just going to think they're an ableist piece of shit, and I'm not going to ask for a detailed background before doing so.

Like "political correctness" isn't about someone busting down your front door and cuffing you for saying the wrong words in your own home. If anything it's about ensuring everyone's on the same page and no ones being needlessly hurt or being unintentionally advocated against, expecially in the case of public discourse in front of an audience. Someone ranting online about the dynamics at play in their friend's immigrant family can be easily read as racist, and those comments can even encourage racism, even if they're both the same race or both come from immigrant families. If that's not what you're trying to communicate you need to be able to... communicate that. Especially if you're posting online where anybody from any walk of life can interpret your words in any number of ways and won't be asking for clarification.

There's basically always been people moaning about PC culture and how they can't say anything nowadays and how people are so quick to "cancel" anyone for anything now. Like no shit if the first thing I hear someone say is some tasteless transphobic joke my entire perception of that person is that they're a transphobe! I'm not going to give that person the benefit of the doubt or expect them to provide a lengthy nuanced take of their "actual" politics and feelings before I decide if they suck or not. Now if that same person was telling the joke to their close trans friends who knew they were an ally/also queer/a big fan of satire and irony then that's a totally different story. And if those friends are still offended then they're already in a position to have a discussion about it. You can't expect that level of understanding or patience from randos on the internet or aquaintences and work buddies.

My family is so fucking exhausting I'm so fucking sick of it

It's the unfounded arrogance that's driving me crazy, both from them and everyone else who shared their post.

what really amazes me about the whole Scammer Panic is the implication that people on this website are either:

incapable of running a quick cost-benefit analysis before deciding to Start Shit, or

inclined to believe that "some people lose like $15~$30 that they could afford to part with anyway" is a more significant worst-case scenario than "you may be condemning dozens of people to death, and also everyone will think you are a huge fucking racist"

Something I adore about T-Bag is how subtle but consistent his character development is because as the seasons go on and he spends more time out of the jail (or, in other, worse jails) the more of his worst traits and beliefs he kinda let's go. Which is what makes me passionate about him he really has it in him to improve, to change. By the intro of season 5 he was literally just living alone in a swamp or something and didn't even want anything to do with Michael.

Like it's not that it happens from morning to noon it's just that there's less and less opportunities for him to repeat his problems to the point he just stops doing it altogether willingly it's just really neat. I just enjoy it.

i'm having Many Thoughts this rewatch about the... words. narrative devices and framing and tone of sdmi, and how they bring out a lot of food for thought re: aspects of media analysis which are easy to lose track of in media that takes itself more or less seriously than sdmi does.

unfortunately my brain is kind of soup lately, and when i try to put this bit into words it becomes Massive Overwhelming Infodump before it's halfway to my stylus. i have few brain cells available at the moment and it burns through them fast. 😔 ah well, hopefully i'll get around to making an actual coherent post about it sooner or later
