#I know we disagree as a people

[edenfenixblogs]

I also resent that person’s implication that I am either genocidal or self centered or overly sentimental.

I have repeatedly advocated for peace.

I have repeatedly tried to meet people where they are and to share resources to help Palestinians and to demonstrate interfaith solidarity.

I have contextualized fear of antisemitic violence in statistics and cultural context and avoided laying blame on any one group of people.

But I guess I’m fundamentally invalid because I’ve used the jumblr tag to find a shred of fucking community.

#jumblr #I’m genuinely very unhappy #it’s so dismissive #and it’s worse that a fellow Jewish person is out there convincing people that kind of behavior is ok #I know we disagree as a people #but damn #that one legit hurts #I put myself out there repeatedly #I have endless patience for people who stumble #and I am scared #I can’t imagine ever talking to or about someone like that #especially not when I know they’re hurting #it is so hurtful it is actually unfathomable to me #and you may say #they don’t even know you #or they weren’t posting about you #but that’s the point #they don’t know me #but they were posting about me #that generalization included me #and dismissed my pain #and I resent it

Death to the trope of rewarding disabled characters with an abled body. Death to the trope that a disabled body is a punishment, a sight, something to shame and be ashamed of.

#disability #ableism #ableism tw #i can appreciate different themes with regards to how we relate to/with disablity and disabling events... #...but i cannot get behind the idea that a disabled body is a punishment or a horrific thing y'know... #...my life is worth living as a disabled person. people with even more disabling things/more disabled experiences have lives worth living.. #...and it's so hard to stomach sometimes knowing that there's a non-insignificant number of people who disagree #i'm just so frustrated with this 'trope' and i've been ranting at my dad for two days now about how much i hate it #thank you to my dad for letting me rant and rave at him :) (lighthearted and genuine)

Ok. I have listened to the people. I have watched the thing. It is very wholesome.

Kazu comes home. He is hopeless and tipsy. And he swings between excited and wasted.

#I am SICK of Miri’s voice ngl #I know kids are loud. And make a mess of EVERYthing. That’s why i stay away. #But for Kazurei ; I made it to the end #They are precious #Rei is so cute I love this guy #He has 0 human skill and still is effortlessly hilarious and a little cutie 👏💖 #i wish we had more of their relationship bc they have sth really special #They never question their trust in each other like it never crosses their mind. They disagree almost all the time but they never part #It’s more natural than breathing. They’re always saying stuff like « it’s not fit to involve other people in our way of life » #it’s not even an option to live apart. They clearly will spend all their lives together #Except that scene it’s so weird when Kazu says « hum with Miri gone we don’t have a reason to live together anymore » lol man #Not as if you guys were already joined at the hip before meeting her. But I get the «the family life changed us now sth’s missing #and it feels incomplete ». But still guys. You are soul mates. #Also the « of course he comes with me. He’s my partner. » line 💕💍 #even if at some point they meant to part ways ; really they can’t be separated. #kazurei #No homo daddies #Buddy daddies #kazuki x rei #Domestic gays

starting to realize why I never used twitter or reddit after my carefully cultivated internet enclosure gets broken into

#christ alive we sure do cultivate our own internet experiences huh #and now i feel my enclosure has been busted into by an annoying pack of wolves #from one annoying person to another its ok not to add a comment on every post someone makes ❤️ u can even use the tags #im the most annoying person in the tags #i know theres been a billion if youre new to tumbly wumbly this is what u do posts #this sounds passive aggressive and mean but its not im just venting on me own blog babey #this mainly about posts i make and seeing people just put big ol paragraphs about how they disagree w the post like babey do not reblog it

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

#simon says #to explain here and not in a reblog: #sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb #you might not have done enough research #you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument #you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this #sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution #you do what you can to fight against the problem #you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem #and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem #like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue #but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face #they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you #and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing #sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“ #sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that #i used this while talking with my Dad tonight #he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution #and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now #and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it #and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate #and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before #i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help #and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change #but all I really could do is the little things I have control over #and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over #like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet #which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue #and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best #so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

Hey batman/batfam people, I wanted to talk about something. I know this might not be received well, but...this is my blog. So if you disagree with me, feel free to block me! Literally that's what's great about this site. (I've been trying to do so on my end, but I thought I'd reach out a bit.....idk maybe try to form some understanding?)

I have been a batman fan since like...age 13 or something. Batman as a character means so fucking much to me, as does all his kids and massive extended family. (can't forget Alfred, Kate, Lucius, and Jeff Gordon!!) And I know that they mean a lot to you guys too.

In comic book and fandom spaces we talk a lot about misrepresentation of characters in fandom, but even in "canon" or rather published/produced content. I have beef with a lot of live action adaptions of Batman for example.

The thing with comic book characters, even more than some fandoms/pieces of media, is that there is SO MUCH content out there, that two people can say they like this one character but those two versions might be in total contradiction. But does that make one right over the other? does that make one superior?

Now, I hate Ben Affleck's Batman. And to fans of his, I'd say, you want the punisher, not Batman, because to me, that goes against who Batman is fundamentally. I read the comics, watch a lot of the animated stuff, and formed my own opinion and version of Batman. However, and this seems to be a controversial take, i really enjoy Wayne Family Adventures.

I see a lot of hate on here for WFA (and on tiktok but they're another beast), which, it's not for everyone, that's okay! Not everyone has to like what I like. But what I don't agree with, is that people who like WFA are seen as "not true batman fans", "they haven't ever read a comic". "they only like the flat fanon versions of the characters", etc.

These comments I would like to rebut- some comic readers such as myself might enjoy WFA. There might be people that have never read a comic or even watched anything batman related but like WFA. Are they not valid to enjoy that and have their own fandom for that? Are they not allowed to be fans of Batman?

I also would ask, how much of WFA did you actually read? In it's nature, it's suppose to be the bat family on their time off, or more light stories, but it actually addresses things like Jason's trauma, Duke moving in to the Manor, Damian struggling to fit in at school, things like that. Now if you read pretty far and still didn't like the portrayal of the characters, that's fine, I'm not asking you to change your opinion, however I am asking you to make space for those who do enjoy it, or that WFA is their first introduction or only experience with the Batman and co.

WFA isn't perfect, but it holds a special place in my heart, and gives me more content for Not Perfect but Trying and Cares Dad Bruce Wayne which I am grateful for. And tbh I feel like it just shows other sides to the characters we don't see that often!

And again, obvi people have their opinions, I guess I'm just asking for us to be more aware and create a space where people can feel free and excited to talk about these characters that we all love. I enjoy content and discussions I see in the tags and different blogs but then I see the hate for WFA fans and it just puts a real damper on otherwise really good content.

Anyways, thanks for reading!

#maddy if you see this i know this is dumb but i had to talk about it #batfam #batman #dc #fandom #and like we all agree we don't like male fantasy batman right? #i mean maybe some do #idk #also again yeah i could block everyone that disagrees and i do that sometimes but i dont want to do that all the time #and yakno #im gonna say it #getting mad at people for only reading wfa and not the comics its giving dude bro #do you really want to be that way #so do we think this was how the ancient greeks were about their gods or no #because tbh comics and mythology are very similar #anyways

can we stop trying to bully people into advocacy, please?

can we stop making people feel personally responsible for issues they only just heard of and may not even understand?

can we stop yelling and berating people who aren’t putting all of their (probably limited) energy into researching something that has almost nothing to do with them and which may stress them out?

can we stop pressuring people who are already struggling to survive to limit their options on how they can live, what they can eat?

please?

please

can we stop

#look #it’s good to try #but not everyone can #so can we stop acting like it’s a moral failing to not be able to do everything you can all the time? #I see this especially with the Israel-Hamas war #people who never even spoke of such issues are now devoting all of their attention to it #which is good for them! #but where they go wrong is when they start implying or blatantly saying that if you aren’t doing what they are doing #then you’re a horrible person #be angry at the dictators and the terrorists and the presidents who are responsible for this #don’t be angry at the neighbor who orders McDonald’s #they’re not willingly funding the thing #if you want to help that’s great #but bullying your fellow citizens is not the way to go about it #trust me #you’re not helping #anyways #is this a vent? #maybe #I don’t know #I’m just tired #of people who do this #good intentions turned into bad actions #whatever happened to ‘people are flawed’ or ‘agree to disagree’? #nuance is abundant and I hate when I see people thinking that issues of this magnitude don’t have any nuance #definitive statements and definitive lies #the line between them blurs every day

not to bring up mass effect but that’s one of the most interesting things it ever posited when it came to the idea of organic vs artificial intelligence. a machine, if sentient, knows who created it and why it was created. and a person will never know that. like, even lacking spirituality, even if you ascribe all this to random cause-and-effect, that doesn’t actually get you any closer to understanding why there is a you. but a robot can look their creator in the eye, can read out the whole of its purpose, and know that no matter what it modifies, this is what it was made to be. and what if it was made limited, or flawed, or shackled. there are elements of that a person can relate to, maybe understand, but not all of it, not enough to fathom how different the experience of the world is when you have no questions about your origins.

#also not to talk about mass effect but this is whyyy i love the geth so much. it feels like this would be something you could easily take #in a cold and logical direction because of this whole. lack of questions. #but the geth are so brimming with this sort of. faith. you know? its written into every way they’re referred to. they call the reapers the #old gods. older. we must assume. referring not just to them but to the quarians. #they call splinters of their hivemind that disagree ‘heretics’. legion accepts that name specifically because of its implications. #for a whole game the geth are mindless enemies and then suddenly they’re a *people*. and legion takes the name of a biblical demon. #we’re getting off topic here but its mass effect let me ramble. AI are banned because this fundamental difference in worldview makes them #unpredictable to organic life. makes them dangerous. legion accepts the name of a demon. accepts what the geth are seen as and what they are #and still asks. if they have a soul. they were not made with one in mind. they know this. they know they were not created to have one. #the point of the question isn’t. objectively. do they? the point is. do you consider them to. will you treat them as if they do. #because the flipside of all of this is that you know a robot’s origins too. you know their purpose. so. could you treat something made #this way as if it has a soul. #you know? sorry im getting very pretentious here. i miss mass effect 2 and my littke guys

One thing that I always disliked about how people approach mental illness was to frame it as a grand battle, a battle you can lose to.

Obviously, this type of thinking absolutely gets applied to people who have gone through cancer, but I leave it to people affected by cancer to articulate how they feel about this, because it's absolutely not in my lane to talk about that part of this conversation. I talk about mental health because people (at least where I am at) also apply the logic to mental illness - especially if one has "lost" their battle.

It especially bothers me because in many cases, people conceptualize battle as something wherein both parties are full participants, that one participant can only win. Do you commemorate and respect the people who lose battles? Often not.

I know that many times, people use battle euphemisms in order to preserve dignity and (somehow) imply that the illness isn't their fault, but I just don't personally resonate with the idea that illness is something you "win" or "lose" at, that winning means something Grand, Big, and it's something which good people achieve. In my personal experience, it can feel like a battle, but it's completely different in how it operates as a "battle."

#mental health #mental health advocacy #cancer tw #cancer mention tw #i know people use those euphemisms to be respectful and i appreciate that... #...but i think we can do it better i suppose? #and i'm sure people will dosagree and that's the great thing about being people - we have the privilege of being able to disagree #i personally just found it... almost objectifying (not the correct word but that's how it feels) when people apply that to me #so i tend to avoid framing illness of any kind with battle euphemisms. i tend to think of it in terms of fluctuation

Bffr she'd have more sense than to just show up at her house as marjorine one day. She wouldn't tell her parents until they're physically dragging clothes they found out of her closet

Like she's naive but she's not that naive she knows her parents would absolutely kill her if she told them she wouldn't blindly go to them expecting them to get it/be okay w it the second she figures out sorry

#bcsedit #better call saul #mcwexler #jimmy x kim #kim wexler #jimmy mcgill #been seeing a lot of people saying that they don't deserve a happy ending after everything and though i get why that's being said #i disagree with the idea that they must be punished by the narrative in the form of an absolutely devastating end where they both die or #are broken down even further because they're Bad People and they Deserve It...their relationship is the heart of the show and #i don't believe that the writers spent over half a decade building this relationship up just to leave everything hanging in the balance #we can argue all day about jimmy and kim being Good or Bad but they love each other. they do. and bcs is a love story #do i believe that they're going to live happily ever after and get a fairytale ending? no of course not but i don't see a doom and gloom end #for them either. narratively speaking jimmy has been in prison all this time and who knows what kim has been up to all this time #i just don't think it would be narratively satisfying if the ending was about punishing them i really don't #i think it's going to be bittersweet for sure but there's no doubt in my mind that it'll be full of heart.... #but god all of the takes about jimmy not deserving to meet up with kim in the gene timeline are just making me root for it even harder #and i really hope the world turns back to color the moment he sees her and idc how many people think it's cheesy <3 #and you know what someday maybe they'll finally get their house. #mine

It's genuinely disturbing that people feel comfortable calling others "nazis" because they like characters in a way they don't find personally acceptable. Especially when they think that people calling them out are wrong because a post being "tagged properly" is apparently a free pass to say whatever (their post not even being tagged correctly is a perfect summation of their idiocy). The level of brain rot is unbelievable. People are acting like this over fictional characters because they're that desperate to "win" arguments in fandom. It is truly the mark of people who aren't intelligent enough to make an actual point. I suppose that's how they landed on the logic that blocking everyone who disagrees with them and preserving their echo chamber makes them correct.

#this is why we have to normalize calling people stupid cause they think hitting send on a post means they've made an actual point #they really think they're George's personal appointed keepers of the canon and they get to decide what the story is for themselves lol #what a bunch of fucking lewsers and then they're too cowardly to actually face being called out so they block anyone who disagrees #but if I said wanting the Starks to reclaim winterfell/the North was white supremacy cause they stole the land from the cotf I'd be wrong #/tagged properly/ and they know they'd throw a fit if someone disliked their fave and put it in the anti tag lol they're so hypocritical #you ask for proof of this behavior that is supposedly so prevalent they feel justified on calling targ stans nazis and then it's crickets #the way people trivialize white supremacist behavior is so annoying because it's so often not taken seriously #like if you really think someone's behavior is leaning towards that why is reaction to have a superiority complex around it?? #fandom nonsense #anti targaryen antis #there my post is tagged properly so they can't bitch about it if they see it #=

[gibbearish]

kinda frustrating how we've spent the last few months acknowledging how a lot of well intentioned but guilt trippy social justice posts are like specifically designed to worm into ocd ppls brains and then now every single post abt palestine is "i dont care how bad your mental health is, i dont care how bad looking at all this makes you feel, if you don't read every single post you see on this topic in full you are a horrible person and directly contributing to their deaths. 'waaaah my mental health' well at least youre not being bombed, did you think about that??" and its like. i absolutely get where youre coming from but you dont get to complain that guilt tripping is bad then turn around and use it anyways because you think the cause youre using it for is worthwhile. like. everyone thinks the cause theyre using it for is worthwhile, thats why theyre using it. but its still a shit way to do it

#like when you make a tumblr post to your tumblr blog youre not guilt tripping people who disagree with you #youre guilt tripping your followers who if theyre still following you probably already agree with what youre saying #and esp on a topic with so much brutality involved like. yeah OBVIOUSLY theres people who have to look away #like. yall know a bunch of these posts and articles and videos show graphic injuries in them right? #like i physically cant watch news videos abt this bc i will spend days with my brain making me imagine #peoples deaths in graphic detail specifically because it knows that will upset me. and i would prefer not to do that #in fact me doing that helps palestinians exactly as much as finishing my brussel sprouts helps starving kids #by which i mean none. its just a cheap guilt trip to get you to do something you don't want to #which when it's brussel sprouts thats whatever but when its 'deliberately expose yourself to extremely triggering #things otherwise youre a bad person'. not so much #idk i feel like maybe its due to ppl feeling. agitated abt not being able to do anything abt it #like the government isnt listening and we're a world away so physically /all/ we can do really is sit and watch #so i can understand a) wanting to find someone to lash out at to alleviate that feeling #like if you cant stop the actual problem at the very least you can shout down the people supporting it right? #and b) seeing 'not watching' or even just 'not watching as closely as i am' as a transgression #bc well its all we can do so if youre not even doing that you must be bad #and its like. i really do get it. but the whole world is watching right now‚ like this is THE big news thing happening rn #so a few people choosing to avoid to subject will not make a single iota of difference #idk. i guess what im saying is if youre feeling the urge to yell at someone for not looking close enough #just donate some money to a support fund instead itll do a lot more

[tomurakii]

I just feel like the "murder is always wrong" crowd of insanely militant Kipperlily haters need to also think about how Riz murdered Ragh and has engaged in torture lol. As well as all the other relatively-neutral people the bad kids have killed, like the lunchlady on their very first day.

#like riz is my fav but cmon guys #i dont disagree with “murder is wrong” but I dont think thats the real reason youre hating because every single character has killed someone #like yeah she's not GOOD #but the bad kids also. haven't always been good #additionally like aside from Buddy we don't know that the other two were specifically “murder”. lucy and the teacher both had rage crystal #in their bodies. maybe their deaths were self defense in the same way the bad kids killing a bunch of enraged wizards in the mall #was also self defense. like they kill a LOT of relatively not-evil people #d20 #fantasy high #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #kipperlily copperkettle
