I'll be real. I find it very annoying how there's such a lack of nuance surrounding Abuse in TMNT fandom spaces. Splinter was abusive in both 2012 and Rise BUT he didn't MEAN to be and there's a lot of nuance and complicated conversation to be had around that. You can be abusive and genuinely loving and caring at the same time. You can be an abusive parent who fucks up your kids severely and gives them lasting issues and a good parent who supports their kids and tries your best, at the same time. This is the relationship I have with my own parents, I am speaking from personal experience about this.
There's so much nuance to Splinter's relationship with his sons and to fatherhood in general for both Rise and 2012 and I wish the conversation wasn't just "He was a good dad!" and "He was a bad dad!" because it's just not that simple in the slightest.
"let people enjoy things" is about like. danganronpa or hannibal or something else like that. not the antisemetic wizard game that's going to be funding anti-trans campaigns in the uk.
reminder for everyone to stop treating the harry potter issue as one that is only about trans people, please do not forget to listen to and stand up for jewish voices speaking out against this franchise and its creator.
I've been using Mumbo's S2 as something to listen to whilst working on other things, and I tuned back in on perhaps the funniest thing I've heard him say so far.
Shoutout to whoever asked him "how big are your man breasts".
I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.
So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.
You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.
Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.
Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.
Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.
