#hate speech narratives

[counteringhatespeechday]

What are the ways to spot and counter hateful narratives within curricula?

One-sided narratives that fuel hate speech and justify exclusion can be found across different subjects and educational programmes. Discussing these narratives with school students and acknowledging their problematic nature is integral to the solution.

This includes facilitating uncomfortable conversations about social inequality and power dynamics, decoding and debunking stereotypes and prejudice, and addressing the trauma and stigmatization caused by violent pasts. Teaching and learning about these issues and revising and reviewing curricula and educational materials can sensitize learners to contemporary forms of discrimination and increase their understanding of the processes that lead societies to violence.

speaking of fucked up overly hated female twdg characters i find it Super Interesting how people will say carver was the best villain in the whole series, but when lilly is literally just a successful carver (iron fist leader of a community turning children into soldiers) suddenly shes a bad/lame villain for some reason 🤔

#twdg #hmm im sure this has nothing to do with the fact shes a woman (a woman that a lot of people hated since S1) #AND they gave her a giant boat? thats funny #LIKE if they did originally plan to have kenny be carver in S2 she is LITERALLY JUST THAT IDEA but the woman version of it #also i find it interesting that her speech about larry and the lights is reminiscent of that first convo between shane and rick in the show #i happened to like S1 lilly for the most part and felt her evolution in S4 made perfect sense #she hated being questioned. wanted total authority. ex military and so used to dealing with military types. family/loyalty important to her #which is why her and clem meeting again and clashing heads is so narratively interesting #is this person your family? can you bring them to your side? are they even the same person? when do you let go? #so many themes in S4 mmm yummy #a theme vi/minnie share too #and mitch brings up the sentiment while burning ms martin #but yeah im in the 'lilly was actually the best villain in the whole series' camp i wonder whos in here with me. is it quiet in here #it wouldve been nice to see more of the delta... unfortunately if things needed to be cut its understandable why it was #you dont NEED to know more about the delta than whats been told #but i would like to 😔 #like could we have been given more fleshing out of her character? sure. do we actually NEED it? no #it speaks

Why does everybody hate Berens? What did he do?

apart from the j1/w*ncest crowd, i don't think people really do at all. he's kind of beloved in fandom. there is a (very small) group of us hellers, however, who have noticed that he is largely responsible for some of our least favorite things in dabb era specifically (but really just in general with how he writes). most of the angry!dean stuff comes from his episodes (he seems to be under the impression that dean is just angry and there's nothing else to it which is in stark contrast with the general dean thesis of 'i'm not mad. i'm worried.'). he also wouldn't know subtlety and nuance if it hit him over the head. and then there's all the racism, most specifically in regards to kaia, but it's in other places too. the racism is obviously the biggest issue, but it kind of gets glossed over for reasons i can only guess at but i'm sure include 'omg he's the destiel warrior! we wouldn't have destiel without him!' (which is simply not true. does robbie 'goodbye stranger' thompson mean nothing to you?)

#replies #anonymous #this isnt to say he hasnt written anything good or that ive disliked it all #for example heaven cant wait would be perfectly fine (excellent even) if dean didnt show up #acting like minimum wage jobs were beneath him and like he didnt understand cas' struggles #he gave us alex and patience #he gave us the 'i hate you and i love you' speech #he gave us dean praying to cas in purgatory #he also gave us serial killer enthusiast sam which is AMAZING #but like. for me. the stuff that i dislike far outweighs the stuff that i do like #and despite nobody else really writing dean the way that he did #his version seems to have shaped the fandom narrative and it's exhausting

one thing that does annoy me about the Gw2 story is how after the plot reveal of the dragons being necessary to the planet happens, everyone starts acting like this was an obvious fact that everyone just knew, and that the commander is an idiot for killing two dragons. nevermind the fact he wasn’t even the person leading the attack in the first case, and only took over the lead in the second case because their command structure fell apart.

also kind of irritating because I like Trahearne but it’s another example of how while he’s alive, he gets all the praise for everything you do, and then when he’s dead you get all the blame for everything he did. people even start calling you things like “leader of the pact” and “commander of the pact” even though you were never the leader, aren’t in the pact anymore, and actually rejected taking over command a few episodes ago.

and it would be one thing if the game was self-aware about it, but it seems to genuinely want you to think that the dragon plot reveal was an obvious fact that you just ignored. like everyone in Elona seems to be aware of how all this works and you’re mocked on several occasions for killing the dragons, but for years before this point no one had a fucking clue and Taimi was the one to figure it out. so if it wasn’t for you and your guild, people still wouldn’t be aware of this

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #I hate when writers in a game change and it stops making sense because they just don't care about staying consistent #I hate feeling like a game is trying to rewrite itself as if I didn't play it #there's so many bits of dialogue and etc in the last two expansions where I've had to be lie #''ok just gonna ignore that was said'' #because the continuity of the story has basically been thrown away #and again if they were self aware about it #like they acknowledged people are basically misrepresenting events and using the commander as a scapegoat #but so far that hasn't happened #and in fact they had Braham say after Joko's speech #''lol well we do cause a lot of chaos'' #like the game actually wants you to believe you're the ones directly causing problems #it's just grinds my gears tbh #because it's like #''go do this thing'' #[does thing] #''HAHA LOOK AT THIS IDIOT DOING WHAT WE TOLD HIM TO DO'' #stop trying to force the disgraced hero narrative anet #the way you are trying to implement it is not working #also like if everyone basically knew this anyway #why did nobody stop me gffdshfgdslhg #the Pale Tree knew they came from the dragons #you telling me she didn't also know that dragons are necessary to nature?? #yet she sent off three of her kids to go murder TWO dragons in a row??? #I'm sorry it's just so dumb

The virgin-whore, purity-corrupted phenomenon as it pertains to Andrea Kormos:

///

ANDREA: We have everything we need right here. The operation is still perfect. We can ride the high seas, plunder together. We can have the life we always wanted.

BENNY: What I wanted was to leave a burning crater behind. I wanted to put your memory to rest.

ANDREA: But I'm not a memory. Benny, I'm right here.

BENNY: What I loved – it ain't here anymore. It was snuffed out a long time ago by monsters like me... like what you've become.

ANDREA: You think you're better than me now?

BENNY: No. I think we're all damned.

ANDREA snarls and her fangs descend. DEAN stabs her from behind and then cuts off her head. BENNY and DEAN look at each other before BENNY looks down at ANDREA’s body.

///

I mean, yes; on the one hand, Benny doesn't quite imply that he's better than her, but he does imply that she's worthless, nothing--just a shadow of the idealized woman he put up on the trophy shelf as his "Reason for Being." All for deciding to live the exact life Benny had lived for so long. He doesn't even try to convince her to overcome or to compromise. He just...gives up. It's quite tragic and alarmingly indicative of how Benny views his relationships as a whole, as well as his place within them.

Season 8 is, in a sense, about mirages. It's about trying to desperately convince yourself things that are not real are. (Or that things that are real aren't.) It gives it an odd, dreamy quality. These mirages are somtimes idealized, baggage-less relationships and jobs/roles (friends, family, and otherwise) that COULD be good, if not for them representing idealization/escape/etc. (It's even echoed in Cas's wish to be a hunter solely to avoid the consequences of his genocide. Naomi's brainwashed Cas is an idealized angel without the baggage of chaos.)

Importantly, these mirages never let you down. But real bonds don't stay forever in that liminal limerance of "never letting you down." Strife and perseverance and deciding if they're worth tackling (or not) are precisely what transition bonds of all kinds into the latter phases of committment and stability (or ending). Every study and pop book lands on a similar conclusion.

But what happens here? Before Andrea even lashes out, Benny absolutely demolishes her worthiness, lameting that she's no longer the uncorrupted, unblemished idea of Perfect Woman from his memories. He cruelly says this to her face, rather than actively discussing alternative futures or seeking any kind of meaningful discussion about overcoming vampiric cannibalism. Ultimately, he cannot bear that she became sullied by his father in what amounts to a symbolic chess game of moving the chattel between the two men.

What if this person isn’t really as magnificent as we thought they were? This transition is painful, but it’s not a catastrophe. In fact, our emotional and relational health depend on it. For each of us to move forward in our development, we must face the fact that we’re different people with distinctive needs that will never mesh entirely.

Disillusionment is the dark, wintry season of love. By now power struggles have risen fully to the surface.

It’s a paradox: when we feel good about ourselves, we’re more likely to feel generous toward others.

- Linda Carrol

And now? He doesn't offer an alternative to Andrea. He doesn't offer insight into why that life ultimately never worked out for him. No, it's just a verbal lamentation that this blossom named Andrea has withered in the face of life's tribulations. (It's also insanely hypocritical, as Benny is equally corrupted as she, and he has worked on the high seas, plundering and eating for likely much longer, even if he's "recovered" from the lifestyle now.)

But Andrea isn't allowed to exist in this flawed state. She's not allowed to even hear a verbalized shade of gray or a potential compromise. It's either she stays unsullied or she has to die before she disturbs that holy, past image. When Benny gives up on Andrea, he gives up on his own image, too: "We're all damned," he says. All or nothing. Black or white. Benny's symbolic suicide was magnanimously present from this moment on. Not just because of how Andrea was killed but because of how he dismissed and dehumanized her prior to her aggression. He cannot see a possibility beyond Purgatory. He cannot see potential for true shades of gray in the new Andrea or himself. For him, life becomes a ticking countdown to self-annihilation.

///

BENNY: My life changed when she entered it, Dean. Everything I had been or done up to that point just... seemed to vanish... into what we had become together

This describes phase one of love, a merging, an innocent unrecognition of the complexity of The Other. It's a very immature love, an image of perfection that clearly Benny still longs for. "You cannot become like me. You exist to inspire me to be better, to meet my needs / nourish me with your blood, and to be the reason for either my rebellion / triumph, or the fridge for my emotional pain."

Once we emerge from the Merge, some of us will be able to reunite with our lover with new maturity and deeper, if perhaps less intense, satisfaction. It depends on our ability to reconcile two distinct needs: to dwell in the delights of the other and to stand firm in our own space. - Linda Carroll

They did not survive that middling doubt, denial, disillusionment phase. (And that's okay! They're both in bad, hopeless places.) What's surprising is Benny didn't even try. This shows an immaturity and complexity Benny never quite gets credit for (he is often The Feisty, Smooth-talkin' Idealized Blood Brother, and the flaws and red flags he does portray are not Seen due to the idealization and his incredibly short tenure.) In terms of narrative...Benny is the peer-addict Dean would hypocritically support compared to Sam's wholly unsupported stint as addict - this happens in so many families! I think of it as analogous to supporting an illness with lip service in church or by doing time and donations to your local soup kitchen, but you don't have sympathy for it within your own home or family. For Dean, this is subconscious. And for Sam, it's a symbolic sore spot: you enable his addiction but you judged mine. Anyway, Benny is so zeroed in on his own fatalism, that he had already decided deep down that they'd both die. They're both damned. It's tragic for them both, but it's especially tragic for Andrea.

“Never marry a man you haven’t already divorced,” she said. - Linda Carroll

///

Better to be a fond memory than a constant, festering disappointment, eh Andrea? I wish we'd gotten to see Andrea reigning over Purgatory, if I'm honest. I'd have liked to see her grapple with everything.

///

DEAN: You ever fall off the wagon and feed?

BENNY: Some questions you just don't wanna ask, brother.

My problem is that I can't listen to her songs rn and not remember matty like i love cardigan and every time i hear that song i'm like she said this song is for him no and don't get me wrong i want her to be happy but this guy is everything i am against he is racist homophob and many other thing his comments about her are so weird and gross and his comments about harry like wtf i thought her and harry were friends he said and did so many weird and wrong things i just can't support him i will always love her but i just can't listen to her music rn

honestly the only thing i can tell you to do is to take a break from her and hope this blows over. i just made the mistake of falling down a rabbit hole on twitter detailing stuff he’s said/done and some of it was even worse than i realized, so…idk what to even do with that information and battling how best to handle the situation we’ve got right now. i think anyone who’s upset has reason to feel that way. (and there’s a big difference between finding his words/actions deplorable and being concerned for her vs. some of the stuff shaming addiction and calling her slurs, the latter is not useful criticism).

remember that loving anyone doesn’t mean always agreeing with their choices or condoning worrisome or harmful things, and also remember that your mental health and emotional wellbeing come first here. if this is causing you distress or tainting her music, it’s not worth you being hurt, you’re allowed to step away. but i know that feels awful and i’m sorry :(

as far as cardigan goes…she’s acting up, but we ARE going to reject that and disassociate. she said we can change the meaning and reclaim her songs? yeah cardigan is NOT getting that man’s fingerprints on it ever, if i have to lock it in the vault myself (the vault being the haunted house in my own head). cardigan is safe, she cannot be touched! narrator betty never asked for this, girl get behind me! we’ll hide the cardigan back under the bed if we have to.

#me the ultimate defender of how folklore expresses her real emotions through fictional narratives to help her process those experiences: #actually folklore is entirely fictitious now! #(jokes to cover up my sorrow) #anonymous #letterbox #whispering in the tags #i have seen fans on twt call this holier than thou to be upset #i have seen INSANE antisemitism in response to jewish people objecting to the he*l bffr right now #i have seen fans talking over poc and queer people who are hurt by his commentary #and so on #and all of that is reprehensible and we need to do better #criticism of him is not hate towards her #even though ultimately there’s not a thing we can do about it #thrown out speeches

Paywalls & Privacy: Chat GPT Helps Me Out

Hello all,

It’s mysterious_maple, back to hit you with my final post on this blog. Boy oh boy, how time flies! Later on, I’ll be pairing up with an AI bot called ChatGPT to help with this blog post. This week’s topic in our Digital Humanities class is all about conspiracy theories. 

Recently, I watched a Ted Talk by Elise Wang called “Why some conspiracy theories just won’t die.” Throughout her talk, Elise explains why people hold onto conspiracy theories in the first place and how information against what you believe will most likely make you hold onto your beliefs harder. Also, if facts don’t match our experiences of things, we find a story to make them fit, or to make them comprehensible.

In addition to this, the idea of the radicalization of social media and the internet is brought up. Basically, Wang says that the more radical (or exciting) a post or segment is, will cause you to keep clicking. Online communities form out of these radical ideas, connecting over the theme of placing the blame of suffering on different, often marginalized, groups of people.

Now, I’ve completed preliminary research on online communities and what their benefits and drawbacks are. They help shape and form identity, and promote inclusion amongst many who may not find a place to belong, or who have difficulty finding others who share their beliefs, in the real world. The online world allows them to find and secure a spot where their views are heard and seen. However, this can be taken to the extreme when we are discussing radical online communities. 

The moment we all have been waiting for…the teaming up of ChatGPT and I. I asked ChatGPT, “Do you believe radical communities should be allowed on social media?” and here was its response (with some of my commentary added into it). The bot’s text is in red font and my commentary is in blue font.

As an AI language model, I do not have beliefs or opinions, but I can provide information on this topic.

Haha, yeah right, the disclaimer to remind me that it’s still a robot and doesn’t have feelings or opinions. Thanks, Chat!

The question of whether radical communities should be allowed on social media is a complex one, and there are arguments both for and against it.

We like a robot who considers ALL sides involved.

On the one hand, allowing radical communities on social media can be seen as a form of free speech, and can provide a platform for individuals with unpopular or marginalized views to express themselves and connect with others who share their beliefs. 

Ah, yes. I do believe it is incredibly important for marginalized communities to be empowered and feel like they have support, including having their voices be heard. This can create a safe and open space for others to connect via the internet, which is beneficial to their mental health. 

Additionally, monitoring and regulating these communities can be difficult, and there is a risk that any attempt to do so could infringe on the rights of individuals to express themselves and associate with others.

Freedom of speech is definitely in question when it comes to social media and the internet. Free doesn’t mean that they have the right to express discriminatory messages about other communities or generally accepted thoughts in a culture. Free speech and hate speech do not go together.

On the other hand, allowing radical communities on social media can also have negative consequences. These communities may promote hate speech, incite violence or harassment, and spread misinformation or propaganda. They can also serve as echo chambers, reinforcing extreme views and isolating individuals from diverse perspectives and experiences.

You can run into an issue such as isolating individuals into one singular belief in communities such as the incel community. This example is composed of mainly mentally ill community members who gather together and share the same or similar (mostly negative) opinions about women. Sometimes these opinions can build off of one another and the community members engage and heighten the extremes of their radical opinions, which can lead to violent events and attacks occurring in real life.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to allow radical communities on social media should be weighed carefully, taking into account the potential benefits and risks. Social media platforms have a responsibility to balance the right to free speech with the need to protect their users from harm, and may need to take action in cases where these communities are found to be promoting harmful or illegal activities.

You know what this reminds me of? A centralized internet. Think about it, social media is controlled by a handful of main corporations. These companies filter through what we can see and say on a daily basis. What we are exposed to, what shapes our beliefs, and ultimately what forms our identities, are all run by powerful people behind computer screens. It is up to them to delete, de platform, and “protect” its users from harsh or inappropriate content. But who are they to decide what exactly is inappropriate, or something that isn’t fit for social media use? Sure, we need media and digital literacy when using the internet. However, we must remember that what we see is already filtered to the likings of another before we lay our eyes upon it.

Anyways, I agree with what the ChatGPT bot had to say. Whatever content it’s putting together and reflecting seems to fit well with my own personal opinions. I believe that radical content which leads to conspiracy theories can be controlled to some extent before it gets to the point of real life action. However, the question of WHO controls what is said or blocked on the internet is a whole issue in itself. And if our internet was fully decentralized, who would be responsible to stop hate-filled radical communities? I don’t know the answers to my own questions, but there’s some food for thought. 

It was a pleasure posting for you all. Have a great life!

My biggest self-diagnosed shortcoming as a writer is not being better at dialogue 😔

#text #it drives me crazy trying to get the characters to say what i need them to for narrative/plot purposes #while keeping it feeling authentic and maintaining speech patterns and quirks and just making it feel accurate for that character #most of the time i struggle with finding the balance and half the time i hate the dialogue i write bc it doesn't feel authentic/good enough #and it's slowing down the whole process so much like this fic should be done already but HOW do i get them to TALK in a way that works

So I watched like 8 news reports on the STL police crashing into lgbtq bar Bar:PM, and only two reports included footage of the owner saying that the cop used a homophobic slur. The rest of the news agencies chose not to include that information. Embarrassing.

What’s the role of media and information literacy?

In the "attention economy", hate speech narratives are the ones that often seduce the most, offering an easily achievable sense of community and maximized reach of such messages. Learners need to be empowered to understand the mechanisms underpinning the functioning of media and digital platforms and spot the persuasive tactics commonly used to spread conspiracy theories and other forms of disinformation and harmful content. Evidence shows that developing media and information literacy skills makes them less prone to exclusionary and violent extremist ideas. Teachers, in turn, benefit from these discussions to better understand and reflect on learners' experiences from the digital world, where hateful content is virulent as never before.

How does one explore the impact of ethnic and religious divisions on the occurrence of war crimes?

Ethnic and religious divisions have long been recognized as significant factors that can influence the occurrence of war crimes. These divisions often exacerbate tensions, fuel conflicts, and create conditions that facilitate the commission of atrocities during times of war. Understanding the impact of ethnic and religious divisions on war crimes is crucial for comprehending the root causes of…

Meta's Misinformation Misadventure: A Tale of Irony and Wit

In a world where the line between reality and the virtual realm is increasingly blurred, Meta, the digital titan formerly known as Facebook, has taken upon itself the Herculean task of tackling voice misinformation. Yes, you read that right. The same platform that has been a hotbed for misinformation and conspiracy theories now wants to be the knight in shining armor, the beacon of truth in a sea…

During a speech on Sunday night, Donald Trump repeatedly spoke as if Barack Obama were the current president. It wasn’t the first time. In recent speeches, Trump has also claimed to have beaten both Obama and George W. Bush in 2016. That’s when he wasn’t promising to use irrigation ditches to bring water to bathrooms or keep California’s forests damp. It’s not that Trump hasn’t always been an egotistical, vindictive jackass with few concerns for whether his hateful, antisemitic, misogynistic, and racist rants had even a passing encounter with the truth. But this is different. In the 2024 campaign, and in the messages he posts to social media, Trump has been in a confused and addled state, one where he has frequently makes statements that are both incoherent and irreconcilable with reality. Still, did you hear that President Joe Biden made a “gaffe”? Sure you did. Because the media not only devotes heavy coverage to Biden’s every hesitation or stumble, it goes out of its way to create them even when they don’t exist. All to promote a narrative that Biden is old and losing his grip, while Trump is somehow vigorous. That narrative isn’t just a clear disservice; it’s a signal measure of how willing major media outlets are to coddle Trump, savage Biden, and keep the nation in the dark.

Donald Trump is unraveling, and the media is covering it up

I genuinely love that Adaine is the one who hates Kipperlily the most. Like Riz is set up as her narrative foil and apparently Kipperlily has hated him since freshman year. Kristen is her political rival and the one pressing her buttons. But Adaine, the one who she's had 1 conversation with is the one who hates her the most. It's also really ironic seeing how the rat grinders have hated the Bad kids for so long without the bad kids knowing, only Adaine is the rat grinders and Kipperlily is the bad kids.

Like imagine if/when they actually square off with each other. Kipperlily has always been ready to fight Riz rogue to rogue, then she started her preparation on how to kill a cleric like Kristen. (Maybe Buddy was practice) But then as she's laying out a big speech, the Bad Kid's fucking high elf wizard comes in and slams her fist into Kipperlily's face before initiative is even rolled screaming about how much she hates you when you've only had 1 conversation with her. Sure you were a bit snooty, but this crazy bitch is a wizard and punching you. What would you even do to that

And here's Spyglass Media Group explaining why they fired Melissa Barrera: 👇

"FALSE REFERENCES TO GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING"

Let's be clear here... she wasn't fired for making an antisemite comment.

Mel Gibson was even more obvious with the whole "Jews control the media" narrative. And yet he has had no problem getting work in Hollywood.

No, Barrera was fired for accusing Israel of commiting genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Which Spyglass considers to be completely false.

Last October, Maha Dakhil, a prominent CAA talent agency agent, was forced to step down from leadership roles after she dared to criticize Israel's war crimes in Gaza.

Guess who was among the powerful Hollywood big-wigs leading the charge to get her to resign from CAA? Gary Barber, the CEO of Spyglass Media Group.

Even more proof that this has nothing to do with antisemitism is that Hollywood big wheels are now trying to go after writer/director Boots Riley, for voicing similar views as Melissa's. Boots Riley is Jewish.

BTW, Jenna Ortega is Pro-Palestine as well...

As a result of that Tweet, Ortega was quickly tagged as an antisemite & a HAMAS supporter by The Times of Israel.

It REALLY becomes harder to combat actual antisemitism when people who dare to criticize Israel's war crimes get quickly branded as antisemites for doing so.

So you have a ridiculous situation where celebs who openly hate Israel's government are tagged as antisemites. Placing their careers in peril.

While people who openly spread antisemitism, such as Elon Musk, they rarely face any consequences - see attached Tweets below where Musk promotes the White Supremacist "great replacement theory" that claims that Jews want to destroy the white race/Western Civilization. His dog whistles are not subtle at all.

Despite his antisemitic tweets, Musk received praise by the Anti-Defamation League because the so-called champion of "free speech" threatened to ban anyone that called for the decolonization of Palestine.

So apparently, the real antisemites are the people that dare to criticize Israel. Not the people who actually hate jews. It's f*cked up.

Anyway, Spyglass has made their move. Let's see if it pays off.
