#you can't even ignore peoples' existences nowadays. because of the woke.

[uncanny-tranny]

Was looking through one of my courses presentations and my reaction:

[witchytakes]

all of these gives money to people that aren't super ultra rich, who are mostly going to get sandwiches out of their fucked up medias, the other even tho there's some progressive points I can point out

Even tho I remember back then harry potter fans were used to be mocked by being progressive and "woke" at the time before JK Rowling becomes what she is now, there's still some criticism for her since then (Dumbledore queerbaiting) (her retcon tweets) (her takes about her own book) like there some HP fans back then that already know she's kinda a controversial person back then And also some people that aren't HP fans that criticize how the book is a blarite liberal propaganda (main character just becomes a cop), since back then already had some points about fucked up points of the book

Now most "HP fans" were the people that were mocking HP fans at that time, right wing men who were used to say shit about harry potter are now calling Rowling "based" because she's a transphobe, and honestly if you think that nowadays there's plenty of rightoids agreeing with her and buying stuff from Harry Potter just to "trigger" woke people, I don't think there's a way you can be a Harry Potter fan now and don't have any councious about what has become Harry Potter fandom now I know there's some people that doesn't agree with Rowling and they pirated stuff from HP to access their favourite medias, I dated a HP fan back then and she was very known to Rowling bigotry, most HP fans knows about that She takes profit out of her brand until today, you can say it's fine about transphobia as a transphobe, but as a radfem or marxist, you should at least criticize how she's beyond on profit of any briton, how she's still profiting out of the whole capitalist system because of the artificial success of her book, don't come here to say HP got hyped naturally, this shit got so forced hyped, that most pop culture magazines were putting on a pedestal She's still a capitalist pig taking profit out of the system, you can even ignore her transphobia but you can't ignore her being a fully bourgeouise, and I think this is what radfems lost about her ideas, the intersectionality, if Rowling wasn't a transphobe she wouldn't become a cult figure like she is now, she wouldn' t be the "terf queen", she would be criticized by being a capitalist woman like any billionare woman is

But back at the Harry Potter point, it's just like being a fan of the history of any european country or US, like it's very dubious because fans of these things tends to be very fascist and some nice people there have the awareness of known that they can like the history of these places and know that's plenty of genocide behind, just liking HP, you should know that there's bigotry and someone is taking money from the thing you like it to persecute a group of people that's just existing HP fans are aware of her bigotry and they didn't try to justify it, they know what's behind it

“you don’t understand, this misogynistic media/character is my hyper fixation! This is my emotional support incest! Bad people exist in real life! Separate fiction from reality! -wait you like Harry Potter? You monster! How dare you! You’re trying to kill me!”

Your reblog about not being surprised sjws on Tumblr cling to Edelgard as well made me realize something. It may be that when I think about people fighting for social justice I tend to think about the students I met during my bachelor. Most which genuinely wanted to learn about human rights for everyone and things like that. I need to realize that a large portion of so called "woke" people aren't like that and are very racist and sexist themselves.

The term "social justice" has become so warped nowadays especially online that anyone who genuinely cares about social issues probably won't even use it, they'll say they fight for equal rights or fundamental human rights for all etc.

The "woke" especially online can quickly be identified if you ask them about human rights breaches by countries that aren't Western (most countries who aren't the US and UK but I'm sure other westernised countries have their own brand of people like this). If you ask them about the Uyghurs they deflect, if you ask them about North Korea they don't care, when you mention the fact the African Slave Trade is still alive and in existence today they don't want to talk about that because they aren't being bought by White Europeans anyone. They don't care about the victims of human rights abuses they care about who's perpetrating them, they care more about having an avenue to spew their own racist or sexist rhetoric without fear of social backlash than they actually do about victims.

Obviously life in Western Countries isn't perfect, we've still got things we can fix and work on, but people who actually care about human rights is going to care about it no matter where in the world human rights abuses are happening and regardless of who is committing them.

Obviously you can't focus on ever wrong doing in the world, you'd exhaust yourself, but never showing even a hint of interest in the human rights violations going on in China or North Korea while simultaneously trying to take the moral high ground over me.... yeah that doesn't sit right, I don't think that moral high ground is as high as you'd think.

Also while the Internet is a great place to raise awareness for a cause, it shouldn't be a Human Rights Activisits only place for campaigning or activism because at the end of the day online isn't real life and many people can just choose to ignore you. I, in the past when I've had spare income, have donated to Liberty In North Korea, a not for profit that literally build tunnels and try to make rescue routes for North Korean Defectors as safe as possible so they can get them into South Korea where North Koreans are granted automatic citizenship (obviously they will question them to make sure they aren't spies). They basically try to give safe passage to North Koreans who have escaped to China, as it stands if a North Korean is caught in China by the Chinese authorities they will either be returned to North Korea where they will face inhumane punishment, sometimes death, or if they are a woman they can be sold into sex trafficking within China rather than returned to North Korea. Liberty In North Korea provides resources to help them make the 3000 mile journey from the NK China Border to a safer nation in Sputh Asia where they can then safely be transported to South Korea.

I wasn't intending for this post to get retailed like that but as you can probably tell its a topic I'm passionate about. I'll include a link to the website in case anyone is interested.
