Please don't reblog. This is a personal rant.
Had to block like 4 ex-mutuals for just blatantly supporting Hamas, the antisemitic terrorist group that ppl for some reason pretend is a freedom fighting group for Palestine. I feel so fucking unsafe right now. I am begging you people to use some fucking critical thinking skills. Just because Israel's government is the bad guy doesn't mean Hamas is the good guy.
Hamas is openly antisemitic. They deny that the holocaust happened. It's not that hard to understand. It's not that hard to support Palestine without being fucking antisemitic. I'm genuinely horrified with how many people I considered friends have just been like "yeah I want to donate to Hamas :)" like fuck off. All of you. You have made it clear you don't really care. You hop on whatever side you think is the radical left and don't fucking think about what you are saying. You are not immune to propaganda.
Free Palestine. But also maybe don't also deny the holocaust and call for the death of Jews. What the fuck is wrong with you.
Palestine deserves so much better than this bullshit from Americans pretending to do something meaningful.
#raiii rants#i get fucking anxiety opening up tumblr now#the number of people out here just being blatantly antisemitic with no care.#is terrifying. like i don't know who to trust anymore#then a number of my jewish mutuals have revealed they are super pro Israel which is also YIKES and id unfollow#i feel so isolated. it's terrifying. like i genuinely want to cry#i hate that the adl claims that anything amti-israel is antisemitic. i hate that the left decided to run with that and be antisemitic#i hate that right wingers use this as an excuse to be racist towards arabs while pretending to ''support'' jews#Because they don't care about jews. they care about israel#and it's excuse for what is blatantly a genocide.#i want to scream

All zionists should be hung, I don't care, that your your Jewish, so dont pull that "your being antisemitic" shit on me. but your a zionist, so you too, should be hung.
threatening to HANG everyone who supports Jewish self determination (and many who don’t, since you lot like to call any Jew who believes in historical facts a Zionist) is a major yikes.
also maybe “your” not being antisemitic, but you are being antisemitic since your plan would involve the death of upwards of 80% of the global Jewish population.

We're watching Eurovision because we love it, and we love Jewish people 🇮🇱💖 Hope this helps you antisemitic asshole
Equating condemning a genocide with being antisemitic is kind of fucked up, don't you think? Maybe don't use bigotry to defend bigotry. And hiding behind anon while spreading your hate, yikes
It's not virtue signaling when it's a boycott, and yea, I get that it's a thing that people enjoy, as I stated (I guess I don't know what you are responding to, since you hid behind anon, so maybe you didn't actually see much of my opinion and just decided to go on the attack?). But that's kind of the point of a boycott. It's not virtue signaling, it's not holier-than-thou, it's listening to the people suffering and following through with their requests. Sure, you can watch it, but you have to sit in the misery of being a scab. I'm sure it's worth it. Unless you're Palestinian, I don't really see why you get to lament about the "sea of terrible-ness" and how this thing that is hurting Palestinians is your only escape rather than something that is less hurtful. Like reading a book. Or touching grass. Have you tried touching grass? Again, yikes my cowardly anon, yikes
#eurovision#free palestine#im an atheist so i cant say equating condemning genocide with antisemitism is in itself antisemitism but it sure feels that way#you hate slavery therefore you hate people of color kind of fucking take#like fuck you man#thats such a shitty take#but yea boycott eurovision and eyes on rafah#this isn't over and people still need help#as second coward put it there are A Lot of fundraisers that need attention and regardless of your home country there's someone you can call#or email or whichever and just constantly pester them

"“Military occupation,” he says, “is by definition temporary. The Fire Nation cannot take land, because the world was divided by the spirits, not by the nations. This is Earth Kingdom land, even if the village decided to share it and create a mixed village. The spirits saw fit that this land should belong to the people of Earth, not Fire. So our presence here can only be temporary, as a means of war. Do you understand the problem?”
Sergeant Kichiro is frowning, but he doesn’t seem angry. Zuko takes this as a win.
“You think we’ve set this outpost up as if we’re planning to stay, and you think that’s illegal?”
Zuko nods. “That’s part of your problem. That’s the structural issue.” He lifts a hand. “The other issue is… Sergeant, when one nation occupies the land of another in war, that first nation takes total responsibility for the people on the land that is being occupied.” The sergeant’s eyes grow a little wide. “They are, temporarily, our citizens. Not when it comes to our rights over them, but when it comes to our responsibilities. We are interfering with their ability to be homed, to be fed.”
“Are you being serious?” Sergeant Kichiro asks.
Zuko holds his head high. “If we are unable to take that responsibility, then we have no place in occupying a settled area for a military outpost.” The sergeant’s eyes appear to be unblinking as he watches Zuko. “Do you understand, Sergeant? The fact that the people for whom you are responsible do not think it appropriate to come to me with their complaints is concerning.” " - appalling that you could write this and still side with zionism. please stay educated and apply the empathy you have to the victims of the oct 7 attack to the people of palestine who have suffered and are suffering under israel’s enthusiastic tyranny for decades. you can apply reason to fiction so do it in real life.
You know, I usually don't bother posting antisemitic asks, because the one time I did that just led to a slew of new ones.
But this one really took my breath away with the sheer stupidity of it.
For a start, I've never ID'd as a Zionist or engaged with political discussions here. So either this is based entirely on the fact that I'm Jewish, or based on the fact that I knew a victim of Oct 7th and was upset by it. I'm not sure which is worse, anon.
But the thing that really blew me away is that you read that metaphor, saw a connection with the military occupation of Israel, and didn't think it might be deliberate.
Just... Wow. Either your distaste for Jews is so strong that it affects your cognition, or you're actually that poor at deciphering metaphor, even when you saw the connection itself. Yikes, anon. Whichever it is, I hope it improves for you.

I thought that I noticed some hypocrisy and contradiction in your posts but I'm not sure so i would appreciate it if you can clarify things for me bc I don't want to assume the worst. I'm just confused
So basically I feel like you are overly harsh on Christians while being very permissive to (religious) Jews. You act like even progressive Christians are super problematic and not allowed to reblog your posts and wtv, but then you turn around and say that all religious Jews are valid and should be accepted, including conservative and orthodox branches (forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure those are the ones that are very conservative and bigoted). So basically what I'm trying to say is that you seem to put conservative Jews on a higher level than progressive Christians which doesn't make sense to me.
I understand that conservative Christian, progressive Christians and anyone raised Christian pretty much has antisemitism that they have to work through. (I'm an ex Christian goyim atheist and your blog has really made me reconstruct some things which im grateful for btw!) But at the same time, antisemitism is only one bad thing that you can be.
So like to summarize I feel like antisemitism from progressive Christians is enough to make you tell them to dni but other kinds of bigotry like homophobia, transphobia, sexism etc from conservative Jews doesn't stop you from saying their religious is totally fine and acceptable.
Again, this is not an accusation, but more of a question. (Even though I probably phrased it like an attack in sorry!) I don't really know if I analyzed the situation correctly and I would really just want to have a chill interaction with you instead of a heated argument. If you could please explain how exactly you view this issue i would very grateful but you are under no obligation! If you don't feel like explaining yourself to a complete stranger, you are free to just ignore this. Have a meaningful Yom Kippur!
(sorry for the rambling post lol)
i made the mistake of absentmindedly opening the tumblr app on my walk to synagogue and i did not think i could be surprised by gentile fuckery anymore but this has left me pretty speechless. the audacity to send this on yom kippur is. wow. i regret not locking my phone away for 25 hours because fucking YIKES. please come off anon so i can block you because i do not want you interacting with me or any of my content.

I know arguing with these people is pointless but lemme just tear them apart real quick as a treat
1. Israel's population is 70% Jewish (over half of which is not Ashkenazi) and 20% non-Jewish Arabs. This is verified by multiple sources with a quick Google search. Idk what your definition of ethnostate is but Israel is clearly doing a bad job at being one.
2. The "Zionist beliefs" which I openly align with are: Israel is the ancestral homeland of the Jews. Israelis don't deserve to die because of the actions of their government or military. 10/7 was an inhumane act of sexual violence and hatred and should be condemned. Hamas needs to release the hostages if they genuinely want a ceasefire (hint: they don't want a ceasefire, almost like they don't have Palestinians best interests at heart and have said so publicly many times). Both Jews and Palestinians deserve to live comfortably in their holy land (that is a belief held by many zionists 😱). None of these things should be controversial to you, and if they are: Yikes! Is the "vile shit" I reblogged in the room with us right now?
3. According to the real definition of Zionism, being that Jews should have a right to self-determination in their homeland, it is not bad to be a Zionist. At its core Zionism is a Jewish word and as such Jews should be the ones to determine its meaning, not ignorant gentiles who just learned that Israel existed a year ago. If you truly want to shit your pants over a bigoted ideology, might I suggest Kahanism? That matches closely with what you seem to think Zionism is, and it is a political movement that was banned in Israel. Let's stop pretending that Zionism is a dirty word when it isn't.
4. That weirdo is most certainly not a Jew and has never observed Jewish holidays or attended Shul. If they had then seeing the word "Israel" would not have caused them to lose their shit the way they did. There is a big difference between being "ethnically Jewish" and being a Jew, someone can be ethnically Jewish and still be a raging antisemite. Tokenizing Kappos who are willing to throw a majority of the world Jewish population under the bus is not a good thing actually. But go off I guess 🤪
Tldr: Get fucked, idiot. Can someone please put me on the Zionist block list so these bitches will leave me alone.

hi, i am Not a troll but i came to ask questions about your stance on the hp thing. delete this ask if you dont wanna answer or explain, and im not a potterhead. i havent seen anything harrypotter for about 7 years and even then didnt get into it much.
i dont understand why its important to not even pirate hp, i know that being fandomy is a bit yikes and not cool, but to me, saying people shouldnt even pirate seems like its giving jkr more power, almost like we're confirming that anything even near hp fandom is giving her power, but it doesnt seem like she could actually benefit in any way from someone pirating something and not posting about it? and it almost feels like by warning people not to interact at all we are making her scarier. i dont know, i could be misunderstanding something here, or missing something obvious. feel free to ignore this ask, u dont have to answer. thanks if you do
If you pirate Harry Potter media and not publicly saying so/not publicly being a part of its fanworks, you:
-are not financially supporting JK Rowling
-are not directly granting social legitimacy to Rowling's works
However, you are:
-deciding that you wish to consume media in which JKR has placed her transmisogyny, antisemitism, homophobia, racism, classism, fatphobia, ableism, xenophobia...etc etc etc
-deciding that you need to prioritize experiencing a new harry potter thing despite knowing Exactly how your friends and loved ones who are directly affected by her bigotry would feel about this
The reasons we are saying to completely no-contact with Rowling's properties are twofold: The first is because she actively uses those properties and the monetary resources/social capital they give her to directly fund and enforce transphobic legislature. The second is because we are deciding it is better to respect and support the victims of her bigotry by refusing to take any part whatsoever in her works, because engaging with those works and its fandom spaces is something which makes the victims of her bigotry feel unsafe and ignored, as though their suffering is something you can justify because you want to talk about and write Marauders fanfiction.

What is the antisemitism in TUC season 1? Does it have to do with Wally the golem?/gen
[ID: an ask from an anonymous tumblr user that reads "would love to hear more about the antisemitism in unsleeping city! was a while ago that i watched it and can't remember what you might be referencing but definitely want to be aware of it.]
no, it's not about willy the golem -- i actually think willy is a great addition to the season (even if i wish we got to see more of him), and an indication to me that brennan/the showrunners were definitely trying to be sincere and inclusive. i want to make it clear that i don't think anything antisemitic in tuc is there intentionally; i think it's there out of simple ignorance, which is also why i think fans don't frequently see/comment on it either. but i don't think that's an excuse, either.
my grief with tuc1 is largely centered around its portrayal of robert moses as the villain. especially by making him a greedy, power-hungry lich working en league with bloodsucking vampires. (also his mini is literally a green skinned skull man in a suit. yikes.) here's the thing; i know robert moses was a real life horrible person, who actually was racist and powerhungry etc etc. and i know that robert moses, the real actual person, was jewish. my grief with tuc1 is not that they chose to use robert moses over literally any other person (real or fictional) to be their season villain (though i'd be really curious to know what tuc1 would have looked like with a different villain), but that they chose to take a real jewish person, turn them into an antisemitic caricature, and then only barely add other portrayals of judaism to balance that out.
like, tuc isn't completely devoid of other jewish representation. as you mention, there's willy the golem -- and again, i really like willy, and i love that it's a portrayal of a golem that's faithful to jewish folklore (ie as a benevolent, guardian construct rather than a mindless destructive monster. i am not a fan of how 'golem' is so frequently misused as a generic enemy creature in other fantasy and ttrpg spaces, including other seasons of d20). but as i said earlier, i wish we see more of him in the season, because he's not around very much, and feels a little more like worldbuilding than a full character to me. also, he's not human. jews are people.
the only other human jewish character in tuc1 is...stephen sondheim. which, again, yeah, that's a real person who really was jewish. but i really wouldn't blame you if you had no idea of that when watching tuc1. maybe from the name you could guess he might be jewish, but i don't think people ought to make a habit of trying to 'clock' someone being jewish by having a 'jewish-sounding' surname. as he's portrayed in tuc1, you'd never know he's jewish, unless you happen to already be pretty knowledgeable about the man in real life. it's far more likely you'll know him as a theater legend than anything else (may his memory be a blessing).
now i'm not saying that brennan or the showrunners should have played up the jewishness of Real Person Stephen Sondheim to counterbalance the depiction of robert moses; that just feels weird to me, especially considering that sondheim was literally alive when tuc1 was filmed and released. it's a tricky thing to portray real people in fiction alongside made up characters, especially when they are contemporaries, and i don't think 'outright caricature' is the way to go about that. nor do i think that moses' jewishness should have been played up at all, because again i don't think that would have been particularly true to the person/character, and also Fucking Yikes. but, c'mon, if you hear the names 'moses' and 'sondheim' next to each other, which one do you associate more with judaism?
and as it stands, these are the only representations of judaism in tuc1. one admittedly nice but very minor nonhuman character; one human character you'd never be able to tell was jewish; and a third human character who, while never explicitly referenced as jewish, plays into some really hurtful antisemitic stereotyping. and it was a choice to not include anything else. maybe not a deliberate one, probably more likely one made out of simple ignorance than anything else, but a choice nonetheless. in a city with one of the largest and most visibly jewish populations in the country, and a culture that is inextricably influenced by that jewish population. a jewish population which has been and continues the target of rising hate crimes for years. i know that nyc means different things to different people, and everyone's nyc is their own -- but my nyc is jewish, and it sucks that that its jewishness is referenced directly in only one very minor way, which is greatly overshadowed by its, in my view, really insidious indirect references.
i don't know exactly how to go about addressing this. obviously, the show can't be changed by now. even if it could, i think the final product would be very significantly different from what it is now if the villain was something/someone else. i think including more references to jews in new york, more (human) jewish characters, hell, even mentioning hanukkah celebrations and menorahs in windows (it takes place in late december, after all; depending on the year it's not at all out of place for hanukkah to coincide with xmas!) would help. having literally any more positive jewish representation in tuc1 would, i think, help balance the bad stuff that's there. because, yeah, robert moses was real and he was terrible and he was jewish. but he's one jewish guy in a city with over a million jews, the vast majority of whom are just normal people. i don't want him to be the only vision of us that people get, in tuc1 alone or in any media. i'm not saying that jews can't or shouldn't be villains in fiction; but especially if you are a goyische creator, you should be really careful in how you're portraying us, and if there are other contrasting depictions in your work, too, in order to not (even accidentally) demonize jewish people as a whole.
#sasha answers#anon#unsleeping city#the unsleeping city#long post#sorry for not putting this under a read more but i think people ought to see this. or at least#if two people felt the need to ask me about it then at least they would want to see the full thing uncovered#also fwiw i do think that they tried to address this to some extent when they made tuc2#with more scenes with willy (and incorporating more golem folklore with the animating word in his mouth -- nice touch!)#the jewish immigrant family in the photo flashback encounter (even if the hanukkiah in the picture isn't exactly kosher lol)#and ESPECIALLY rabbi mike. i ADORE rabbi mike. i think he's a WONDERFUL addition#i do still wish he was a more important/prominent character. cause again he isn't in it all that much.#(and he's still like. the only new jewish human character in the campaign.)#but i recognize what he represents and i am happy about it#i do think brennan & the d20 crew tried to improve after tuc1. i do. i see their efforts and i applaud them for it#but still to my knowledge they haven't ever directly addressed the errors made in season 1#and it's extremely rare that i even see other fans mention it#and like. sorry but i am tired. i am. we deserve better. we deserve portrayals in media that show us as People#not just as evil monsters#anyway you're welcome to rb this but be cool in the notes esp if you're a goy#other jews are welcome to (respectfully) disagree with me if they want#also if you so much as mention the word israel on this post you're getting blocked end of

Speaking about quantumshade....
If you're an anti zionist jew saying things like october 7th was deserved, naturally other jews are not going to like you or be comfortable around you.
I have a feeling that some of these anti zionist jews who moan about being excluded from jewish spaces were either 1) never there in the first place or 2) have been participating in very antisemitic behaviour like supporting hamas and calling them freedom fighters which resulted in a rift between them and their local jewish community 🤷♀️
Please do not get me wrong: I understand that the exclusion of anti zionist jews is quite real and some zionist jews do call them fake jews etc. But anti zionist jews weaponize their exclusion to further antisemitism towards zionist jews. There's a reason quantumshade got over 5000 likes for shitting on zionist jews.
Dear anon,
point 1 is bit "group x doesn't belong in group y spaces despite them both being group z" which yikes that's right wing rhetoric
but yeah point 2 is if you're a bigot you don't belong in space spaces
I got thrown out of a safe space for being terrible and it make me rethink my life choices but it also made me bitch and moan that they couldn't tolerate "real queer people like me"
so let's see which way they'll bend now that antisemtism now longer pays unless you commit to being a dancing monkey on a string
Like I will see a lot of "take me back guys" and a lot of dancing string puppets
yours,
Cecil

how can law of assumption racist tho? /gen
So, the Law of Assumption isn't racist in that it like, cultivates malice toward any specific racial group. It's more just generally racist in that it effectively assigns everyone individual responsibility for their socioeconomic circumstances, including people who are systemically disadvantaged by racist laws. The guy went so far as to claim his buddy Abdullah never experienced any racism ever because he used the Law of Assumption. Like supposedly he could just go into whites-only spaces during the segregation era because he manifested it. This implies that every Black person who has ever experienced systemic or individual racism only did so because they manifested that experience. Like, yikes.
Neville Goddard was also being racist (specifically, antisemitic) when he put out his weird pseudohistorical ideas about the Bible and claimed his ideas have origins in Kabbalah. (They don't. They have origins in Phineas Quimby's ideas.)

Tw: Antisemitism
court of owls was such an interesting concept cause like, i very much like the fact that owls are bats predators but, the story itself reads like some antisemitic conspiracy theory, it's so bad, the whole secret society thing and the fact that they kidnap children to turn them into talons, like yikes.
and having the court of owls be responsible for major crimes in gotham (death of dick's parents and the death of the wayne parents) feels like such a copout.
like: no the corruption of gotham isn't due to its capitalist nature and its exploitation of the middle and lower classes which in turn makes them sometimes turn to a life of crime, no it's actually because bird people want gotham to flop for....reasons not given?
it's such a stupid antisemitic concept and the fact that it's in gotham knights is just so :/
i have always hated the court of owls, even before i became aware of its antisemitic and problematic implications. back then it always felt like a lazy and cheat device to end the story and it often times felt lacklustre (for the reasons you have explained), especially with how it changes very important deaths in gotham.
bruce's parents being killed by a completely normal guy and found themselves victims to an unfortunate and completely avoidable situation, makes batman's entire code and premise SO interesting. he works to prevent and to protect people from what can be (to him) fixed in gotham.
dick's parents being killed by tony zucco, who worked for maroni, develops gothams history in a way that is SO MUCH BETTER than anything the court of owls did. how gotham is routed in old money and organised crime (or it was, less so much now), that works as a long chain that gets innocent people caught in the crossfire. it's why i particularly dislike the very popular au of talon!dick, or any court of owls!batfam aus.
so even before we get to talk about how the entire concept is offensive and wrong, its already a terrible idea. it was so disappointing to see it be the main storyline in Gotham Knights, but the actual plot of that game leaves a lot to be desired as it is. talia and the owls was my biggest complaint about it. i really need people to forget about it and stop using it in all their projects!!!
in theory i suppose a secret cult in gotham COULD work, and it has before. there are many well done stories about it, but to me, the court of owls is not one of those stories. it has no direction or motive beside the very basic one of ultimate control. boring! as you said, i would appreciate a story focused on class inequalities and corruption in a way that leaves space for actual resolution or at least nuanced storytelling.
its a bit on the nose but 'batman: the cult' and 'batman: legends of the dark knight: conspiracy (#86-88)' are much better alternative read, or the slightly less on the nose but kind of still on topic 'batman & dracula' trilogy. be warned they, unsurprisingly, tackle some very heavy and mature themes!

The situation with Harry Potter fandom makes me wanna put my head through a wall.
I saw comments on a post that said "if you have a Harry Potter url I think you should kill yourself <3"
Like. What the fuck.
Dont get me wrong, I HATE jkr. Along with the transphobia, there's the antisemitic goblins, Asian stereotypes (Cho Chang really??), the fact that she said her werewolves were a metaphor for AIDS when there were explicitly "bad" werewolves who spread their "disease" to children on purpose, the fact that she made a race of magical creatures slaves and then mocked the one character going against the enslavement (but it's fine because they LIKE being enslaved) (also this character she also later attempted to retcon by saying she's Black. Big yikes), also the running joke of the one Irish character exploding things (written by a British woman in the nineties so there's some Implications there). She's bad. No one should support her, so no buying the games, books, movies, etc unless they're second hand.
And I know there are plenty of fans who agree with her, and seeing someone mention liking the franchise could raise some red flags.
BUT.
Why the fuck do you go after creators of fanworks?? Jkr doesn't get shit from that, first of all. Second, she's mentioned previously she doesn't want any fanworks that aren't "kid-friendly", so anything with smut/queer characters other than Token Retcon Gay Mr. Dumblydoor would probably make her shit herself.
But newsflash! A lot of creators suck! Taking it out on people who separate the content from the creator and are just doing this for comfort reasons, people who KNOW why she's wrong and have often been a target of that bullshit themselves? Jerk behavior.
Im nonbinary. I loved Harry Potter growing up. I grew out of it before a lot of this came out, but it still fuckin hurt. I'm just so sick of people taking it out on those making fanworks that don't even support jkr instead of...yknow...going after jkr herself. You're just punching down to the people already hurt, because you can't do shit to the one who hurt them and you need to take out your rage somewhere ig.
Anyway fuck jkr fuck transphobes who like her and fuck these people man

I recall a fair bit ago I sent an ask regarding antisemitism within Christianity and I feel I should expand on that. Now a fairly popular right wing Christian blogger I see plastered all over most if not all Christian pages on tumblr is a user called jesuspilled. Hmm. Let's take a look at his posts...
Well, that's...certainly something.
Hmm. Interesting.
And I don't even know where to begin with this.
I've also noticed another fairly popular Christian blogger that user jesuspilled shares from frequently and many Christian users share from too called Naturalrights-retard.
Let's see what he posts!
Uh-huh.
That's a yikes from me.
That's not all I found either. I found plenty of equally vile blogs. All Christian and all unashamed of their hatred of Jews. So why has no one called them out on it? I see you and others calling out leftists on antisemitism, rightfully so. But I've yet to see a single Christian call these people out. I thought Christians weren't antisemitic? Why is no Christian stepping up? Wouldn't the Christian thing to do be say "Hey, that's not what Christ represents" or "you're spreading hatred". All I see is silence. If you're calling out leftists, you should be devoting just as much to condemning the antisemitism from your own side too. If these people really do not represent the majority of Christians, I don't see why so many still endorse these two among many others like them.
Are you serious right now? The majority of vile antisemitism is coming from the left right now so I, and many other people who are calling it out, are focusing on where it is most prominent.
But it doesn't count unless we go after two specific meme posters on Tumblr?
Yeah, those posts are awful and I strongly disagree with them but those are two users I consider fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. They post memes. Some I agree with some I don't but that's what it's like for the majority of people on Tumblr. I don't call out everyone I disagree with on everything all the time.
Some posts I've made regarding the prominent antisemitism going around have even been direct responses to posts I've seen from the second user you highlighted but I really don't think you're being fair here.
I've seen more christian bloggers calling out antisemitism than I see engaging in it and excuse us for focusing on where it's most prominent and most relevant instead of those two bloggers. The majority of the time when I'm talking about antisemitic things I've seen I don't even know the religion of the person who committed the offense so they could very well be christians.
Yes, antisemitism is bad regardless of what side its on. Those users do not represent the majority of christians. No one Christian does. Some Christians are antisemitic, but antisemitism is not biblical and it's not godly. I've never denied there are antisemitic Christians what I deny is that Christianity is an antisemitic religion because it's not in line with Christ's teachings.
If it means that much to you then fine I can go say something to those blogs specifically but I would hope your impression would be formed more by the fact that most of the christian bloggers (at least the ones I see) are condemning antisemitism rather than engaging in it even if we don't personally address every single antisemitic blogger that crosses our dashboard.

Opinions on Hogwarts Legacy now that it’s come out and is well received by people who aren’t Harry Potter fans? From what I understand JK Rowling didn’t have any creative input and while there are allegations of other members on the creative team being shady, it’s unlikely all that different from other creative studios that people enjoy without qualms, but don’t afford the same attention to.
I’ve heard there’s even a “trans potion” in the game. Which sounds awesome. And when people ARE playing/streaming it but donating any money they get to pro trans group they’re still getting vilified. What’s that about?
Questions are, am I supposed to “care” or feel like im not “a good person”, words I’ve seen being thrown around right now, for either playing the game, finding interesting, or not caring about the topic at all?
Also, what actual influence does Rowling have other than being a big mouthed bigot?
--
Nonnie, do you live under a rock?
The big issue people are taking with the game isn't trans stuff but antisemitism.
I have yet to hear a really detailed review of how the game feels in practice, something that's hard to quantify and that really does matter when we're evaluating fantasy worldbuilding that seems suspiciously like it includes real life bigotry.
The plot appears to be about evil goblin bankers wanting to take over the world, which is already about a thousand red flags, but we were waiting to see what the full game would contain. Early reports are that it's much, much worse than even the previews made people fear.
What I know right now is that they put a fucking shofar in as a goblin artifact. Granted, there are lots of horns in the world, but that thing really does look like a shofar. Some of the goblin rebellion details seem to have been cribbed from real life massacres of Jews. I'm waiting for more concrete details and reviews by people I trust.
But people I trust and people who are playing this game don't overlap that much, so I don't have much data yet.
Gentile tumblr thinks Jews are white and therefore acceptable targets. Antisemitism gets blown off as not that big of a deal. But in practice, there are fucktons of pro-genocide shitbags all over the place spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories, and it looks like one of them wrote this shitty game.
The reason people aren't going "YIKES!" more is partly because not many have made it all the way through the plot yet and partly because they're too ignorant to detect its subtext.

I know you didn’t see it, but as someone pointed out with Killmonger. The people who often said “fuck Christopher Columbus and white people!” don’t hate imperialism itself. They hate that their ancestors was on the losing side of the wars centuries ago
As I mentioned before they glamorized the Dahomey kingdom of all things, I saw a person online with a PHD said the Ottomans were good to lived under.
A Hindu mutual of mine said that the left constantly glamorized the Mughals because they are brown. People are even defending the Aztecs now.
Like I saw people say that the left only “protected” the Jews because of the Holocaust. Because when you dive into Hitler and the Nazis the mindsets you notice a lot of similarities
“The Jews/White people are the root of all evil and must be wiped out!”
And I think Jews are getting a wake up call with the I/P conflict as now the left antisemitism is in full force
I mean I saw these as the left said in more privileged than career politicians such as Hillary Clinton because I have a dick. But the second they learn in black, I’m more oppressed than a trailer park kid that was pimp out by their parents
And the decolonization thing, hmm strange that never passed to Arab ethnostates
Oh good, you're still here. I'm happy about that _____________
Aztecs, yikes people raised hell here in CA about some of the lessons that involved learning various Aztec prayers, not sure how far if actually got but I hope it didn't get implemented.
Was a whole thing about connecting the Latino students to part of their heritage and CA history as well dumb for one because the Aztecs never made it up this far and for two, the reason Cortez managed to take them out with 300 Spaniards was because of the 30,000 natives that joined in because they were tired of being used for human sacrifices among other things.
Interesting to see the return of moral relativism
It's their culture and it should be respected even if that means this 73 year old dude that died's 19 year old wife will be placed on his funeral pyre with him and burned alive so they can be together in the afterlife (first time I hears a self proclaimed atheist say something along those lines my head spun, was weird. Still is gotta respect their beliefs provided they are using a western religion because reasons)
Colonization thing, I was originally looking for a map of arab migration into North Africa but this kind of thing kept coming up
Finally ran into one that was just Arab migration and it's the same map, which makes sense, Egypt is still full of Egyptians though which is kinda wild, Iran is split between Persians and Arabs, Persians being the indigenous people in that area.
Like I saw people say that the left only “protected” the Jews because of the Holocaust.
This is one of those things I've put a lot of time and thought into.
Short version of my conclusion is that if they were still a stateless people they would likely be one of the darlings of leftist circles.
At least until they started getting to successful, preformative wokeness would be the modern term I guess.
You're not supposed to actually do well because if you do then we can't use you as a prop to show how awful other people are.
Be why Asians got kicked out of the POC club.
And I think Jews are getting a wake up call with the I/P conflict as now the left antisemitism is in full force
Stephen Fry coming out and saying, you know what, I'm Jewish is a good bit for that, seems to be some of the secular Jewish community, even the one's that don't do anything Jewish at all, well didn't since it would seem a bunch of them are having their eyes opened more than they ever thought they would.
So ya that's a thing too.
Circling back to Egypt, wonder what the hotep contingent thinks about the Arabization of North Africa, they're lunatics regardless but I bet there's some funny stuff going on in the we-wuz circles about that. __________
And again, I'm glad to hear from you especially after your previous ask. Keep pushing through world needs self aware people in it.
