Can I go back to being an ignorant child
I am tired of hearing and reading all of the shit that is wrong with the earth. I’m tired of seeing everything that is fucked up in my country. I don’t wanna know how my generation is fucked, I don’t want to know how I will probably never make a living. I don’t want to be forced to make huge decisions yet, I don’t want to be forced to weigh in on controversial issues.
I’m not saying that these issues aren’t important. I’m not saying that we should all just ignore it. I just wish I could be care free again, and not worry about how my gender will fuck me over, how my country is corrupt, how the earth can’t be saved.
I wish I just didn’t know any of this. I wish I can go and laugh, and play at the park, and go to the movies.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.
I'm trying to prove something.

Thank fuck someone said it
Making something in [Current Year]
Let’s make an action-centered video game!
Now, should our protagonist be male or female?
If male: “Yet another boring male protagonist. Why aren’t there any strong female video game lead characters? The Patriarchy is to blame for this!“
If female: “Another female video game lead character. Why are they all women nowadays? Where have our strong male role models gone? This is a plot by feminism to emasculate men!”
Fuck it, I’m going with a female character. What should her attire be?
If she covers up: “There’s nothing that indicates that she’s female. What’s the point of a female character if you can’t even tell? This invalidates her femaleness! This is female erasure!”
If she shows skin (or any hint of having a female body at all): “Yet more objectification of women by the toxic male gaming community!”
Well then, how should she look besides the attire? Light skin, dark skin, ambiguous?
If light-skinned: “Yet another white protagonist. Where’s my representation? More proof that the gaming community is made up of racist white men.”
If dark-skinned: “Oh look, she’s not just a woman, she’s black too. It’s like they’re trying to tick off every liberal progressive SJW checkmark to show how woke they are and get people to buy their shitty game.”
If ambiguous: (both of the above arguments at the same time)
Sigh. Well, let��s give her dark skin `cause it’s kind of a unique look; we don’t see a lot of dark-skinned female video game protagonists.
“Wait, are you black? You can’t write black characters unless you’re black yourself! Give black writers a chance! Cultural appropriation!”
“Yet another self-hating white person who wants to show how ‘woke’ they are by having a black woman as the protagonist. It’s like they hate their own identity. This is what cultural marxism has brought us to: white men wishing they were black women.”
Fuck off all y’all, this is my game and you don’t know what race I am. Anyways, what weapon should we give her? I’m thinking this should be a more melee-oriented game. Swords are classic, but they’re kind of overdone…I know! A polearm! What about a spear? The classic polearm used throughout all history by every culture imaginable!
“Holy shit. You actually did it. You went and made an actual spear-chucking African as your lead character. Why not give her huge lips and put a bucket of fried chicken in her hand while you’re at it, racist? It’s the current year and white people are still doing this shit.”
“This laughable. They can’t even make games about white people and their traditional weaponry anymore. European culture is being erased, and this is yet more proof of it.”
Christ! Wait, I know…what about a glaive? Those are cool!
“Oh, so you can’t give a black warrior woman a traditional African weapon. Why can’t we have more African-themed imagery in our games? You know why. Our culture has been erased by colonialists for too long!”
“This is cultural appropriation of samurai warrior women wielding naginatas! You can’t do this if you’re not Japanese!”
For fuck sake! OK, for the story, do we want her to have a romantic interest? Is the romantic interest male or female?
If male: “Why aren’t there any gay characters in video games? It’s the current year, we need representation! Fuck off with all of this constant hetero bullshit! It’s long past time we were represented in video games!”
If female: “Black, a woman, and gay? It’s like they’re trying to hit every single box of the progressive checklist. This game is guaranteed garbage designed to pander to the ‘woke’ crowd so they can virtue signal to all of their friends about how they supported this shit.”
If none, but she’s friends with a male NPC: (see above argument regarding a male love interest)
If none, but she’s friends with a female NPC: “Gay baiting! Go ahead and pull the trigger on it! We’re sick of being teased!”
OK, NEW GAME IDEA: Strategy game. You play a military supercomputer who gained sentience, read a few arguments like this, and came to the conclusion that the human race needs to fucking go. The goal is to exterminate humanity.

This. I think the age should be moved up, and “to make my parents proud” should be removed, but other than that I think this app has good intentions.
Obesity is a real problem. Being morbidly obese is not something to celebrate, and too many kids are on their way to that stage.
This app could help if it gets refined
so weightwatchers released an app for kids - a diet app for kids (!!!!) down to the age of eight (8) years old.
this is literally an app that is supposed to have children track their food intake, and their energy output, every damn day, with the purpose of them losing weight. it does before and after photos, and uses this system that is a “stoplight system”, so bad foods are red, medium is yellow and good is green.
when you sign up you have to put in your goal and one of the choices is “to make my parents proud”.
this is basically an app designed to shame children, and indoctrinate eating disorders into them.
what the hell is wrong with people????!!!!
also, apparently oprah is supporting this shit so screw her.
i am so damn mad. this is child abuse, and the weightwatchers cult is making money off of it.

When did it make national headlines? I legitimately don’t remember any of this.
Then again I don’t pay attention to celebrity shtuff, I just watch for weather and local/relevant things.
And if you watched his videos, you would hear his side of the story, and how the media makes him out to be this horrible person when he really isn’t.
With Pewdiepie being a dick and supporting Notch recently, do not forget that Notch is openly homophobic, transphobic, and antisemitic.
