I agree with the tier list but I'm curious why idw and 2007 are on the bottom half and not like 2012 splinter? Or even rise they were both pretty bad fathers

I'll answer rise and 2012 first because 2007 and idw fuel me with so much anger.

DISCLAIMER: I love Rise Splinter and 12 Splinter but they are not without flaws!!!!!

Trigger warnings will be in tags please adhere to them!

[Rise Splinter Start]

I put rise splinter in "you're okay" tier because Hamato Yoshi (will be calling rise splinter "Lou" from now on for context) did his very best and tried to make the very best out of a terrible situation.

He had lost his mother at a very young age and dealt with an emotionally neglectful grandfather who had only cared about a Hamato's duty to their clan up to his late teens into adulthood. [This undermines Karai's sacrifice in the first place. As she had sacrificed herself out of love for the world around her and the love of her father. Not because of a sense of duty.]

Lou moves to America in order to separate himself from his trauma, never addressing it but rather repressing it. In hopes he can move on and start a new life, which he fully intended when he proposed to Big Mama. [Though it's never spoken directly or stated directly in the show, it's implied Splinter was ready to even have a family with her because he loved her so much]

This is quickly torn to shreds when Big Mama reveals she's a Yokai crime boss [essentially] and human traffic [yes. HUMAN TRAFFICS] Lou to New York to become a champion in her Battle Nexus. While in the beginning of the show it's depreciated as Lou Jitsu loved being a Nexus champion we quickly learned in "Many Unhappy Returns" he in fact did not relish being a champion and was clearly traumatized by Big Mama's actions.

> Enter Baron Draxum

Lou is human trafficked once again and this time is experimented on, his DNA used to create turtle super soldiers that will be trained and raised to murder humans. [This show is super fucked up now that I think about it.]

And after completely destroying Draxum's lab, being freshly mutated into a rat man. Stripped of his humanity, he now has 4 turtle sons dropped into his lap.

TLDR: Rise Splinter did the very best he could in a terrible situation and struggled to overcome his own generational trauma. His actions are explained, not excused. He needs therapy, his sons needs therapy. He needs to make up for his neglectful behavior [which we do see towards the end of season 1 and into season 2] and understand his children are in no way shape or form obligated to forgive him.

[End of Rise Splinter]

[Start of 2012 Splinter]

My reasoning for putting 2012 Splinter in "Seek therapy before having kids" tier is because Hamato Yoshi [will just be calling him Yoshi for context] has been a parent before, while brief and tragically separated from his child for many years, on top of losing his wife.

Yoshi did as I would feel did the best he could but could have definitely done better. He's freshly traumatized, well into his 30s, maybe early 40s [?] And moves to America from Japan. [Clearly he needs therapy]

Yoshi clearly was not expecting to be a parent again, so soon after losing his only daughter. [perceived]

He loves his children, though he more often than not struggles to actually connect with them and see them as his sons rather than just clan members. I would consider this emotionally neglectful [?]

I personally always headcanoned this as a trauma response. A subconscious way to protect himself from the hurt of losing another child. And it's clear that Yoshi's trauma over losing miwa has manifested for his sons as well, as we see in the episode "Panic in the Sewers" one of the first episodes we actually see Yoshi PUT HIS HANDS ON HIS SON outside of training. And it's very clear that he was in fact hurting Raph. [Intentional or not. He still hurt his son.]

He loves his sons very much. But please. Get therapy.

[End of 2012 Splinter.]

Cracks Knuckles

[Start IDW Splinter.]

FUCK THIS STUPID ASS RAT I HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH. ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY AFTER THE EVENTS OF CITY FALL.

YOUR SON IS CLEARLY TRAUMATIZED BY NOT JUST OROKU SAKI BUT YOU, HE IS AFRAID OF YOU ANGRY AT YOU AND DESPITE YOU KNOWING THIS YOU STILL CHOOSE TO INVADE HIS SPACE, PRIVACY AND COMFORT ZONE. FUCK YOU!

That being said the entire Trauma and storyline with IDW Leo being brainwashed was handled poorly and clearly written from a stigmatized view. I'm not surprised that his recovery was handled just as poorly.

[End of IDW Splinter]

[Start of 2007 Splinter]

Fuck you. You literally look like the cheetah from Cheetos you nasty, emotionally and physically neglectful fuck!!!

The only time you EVER paid attention to your sons was when Leo came home. 2 YEARS AFTER YOU SENT HIM TO CENTRAL AMERICA.

You did NOT care about Raphael's feelings about Leo's departure or return, nor the abandonment issues he had developed and the resentment that he had for you and his older brother.

You did NOT care that Donnie had to pick up the slack and pay bills so YOUR CRUSTY CHEETO LOOKING ASS COULD WATCH THE NEWS AND YELL "BOYS" WHEN LEO CAME HOME AND THEY CONVENIENTLY WENT OUT TO FIGHT CRIME

I DON'T THINK YOU EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED MIKEY UNTIL THE END OF THE MOVIE AFTER LEO WAS SAVED

TLDR: FUCK 2007 SPLINTER.

The Sun Always Rises by tameila (120527,Mature) Warnings: tw depression Pairings: Pike Trickfoot/Scanlan Shorthalt

In the quiet, mountainous town of Westruun, where nothing much happens, Pike Trickfoot leads her parish. She knows her work and does it well. If she has ever wanted for more, it has never been her place to ask. But, a new spring is blooming, and those longings may become too fervent to ignore, especially when one wears the face of popstar sensation, Scanlan Shorthalt.

New Utah Law Threatens Local Vape Shops with Closure

The Controversial Flavor Ban In Utah, a recent legislative move to ban flavored e-cigarettes is stirring controversy and fear among local vape shop owners. The law, championed by pediatrician and Senator Jen Plumb, aims to curb the rising trend of vaping among teens by eliminating sweet and fruity e-cigarette flavors. Flavored vape products, which statistics reveal are the first choice for 90% of underage vapers, will soon be illegal, leaving shop owners concerned about their future. Impact on Local Businesses According to industry spokesperson Beau Maxon, vice president of the Utah Vapor Business Association and a vape shop owner himself, this law spells disaster. He describes it as a "death sentence" for many shops which primarily sell flavored products—products that adults prefer. This move is feared to push consumers towards larger retailers like gas stations and convenience stores, which often sell brands owned by major tobacco corporations. Maxon and other shop owners argue that the law not only threatens their livelihood but could inadvertently support a monopoly by Big Tobacco. Compliance and Enforcement Despite concerns, records from local health departments indicate that vape shops generally perform better in compliance checks compared to other retailers. From 2019 to 2023, while general retailers failed about 8.3% of the time, vape shops had a slightly better record at 7.5%. This suggests that vape shops have a greater incentive to adhere to regulations, facing steeper fines and more severe penalties for violations compared to other stores. The Broader Impact and Public Reaction The law's broader implications and the public's response have been mixed. While some community members feel that the legislation will protect youth, others view it as an overreach that punishes legitimate businesses. The backlash has been intense, with Senator Plumb receiving significant criticism and even threats for her role in passing the bill. Understanding the Law's Necessity Supporters like Senator Plumb argue that the harsh reality of nicotine addiction among the youth necessitates such stringent measures. Despite understanding the economic impacts on businesses, she emphasizes the law's primary goal: to safeguard children from becoming lifelong nicotine users. She believes that if products causing widespread harm need regulation, it is a necessary step forward. The Future of Vaping in Utah As the law is set to take effect on January 1, 2025, the landscape of vaping in Utah will undoubtedly change. Vape shop owners are considering legal actions to challenge the ban, suggesting a contentious battle ahead. Meanwhile, community members and industry advocates are urged to consider the long-term health benefits over immediate economic gains. Why Consider Vaping? Despite the controversies surrounding vaping, it remains a popular choice for many seeking an alternative to smoking. For adults looking to transition away from traditional cigarettes, vaping offers a customizable and potentially less harmful option. Here are a few reasons to consider vaping: - Variety of Flavors: Even with the new restrictions, alternatives like tobacco and menthol flavors remain available. - Control Over Nicotine Intake: Vaping allows users to choose from various nicotine strengths, aiding in gradual reduction. - Social Acceptance: Vaping is generally more socially acceptable than smoking, with less odor and residue. Your Move to a Smoke-Free Future Are you considering a switch to vaping or curious about its benefits? Remember, the choice to vape should be informed and deliberate, focusing on personal health and well-being. As the landscape evolves, staying informed and compliant with local laws will ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience. Visit your local vape shop today to learn more and explore your options in a supportive and knowledgeable environment. Read the full article

Unveiling the Brilliance: The Fusion of Academic Competition and Artistic Expression in Education

In the dynamic landscape of modern education, 2023 emerges as a year of transformation, where innovative trends redefine the educational journey for our young learners. Among these groundbreaking developments, the fusion of academic competition and painting drawing stands out as a powerful catalyst, illuminating the undiscovered brilliance within our budding artists.

Breaking Free from Boundaries:

Gone are the days when academic contests were mere rituals of certificate collection. Today, they serve as significant platforms where young enthusiasts not only showcase their talents but also unearth and cultivate their inherent gifts. This metamorphosis is particularly evident in art contests, where the merging of academic competition and the realm of painting and drawing offers a transformative experience for kids and teens alike.

Joining drawing and coloring competitions pushes students beyond their limits, encouraging them to break free from their usual boundaries and paving the path for exploration and self-identification. It’s no longer just about the glory of victory; it’s about cherishing the unparalleled experience that comes with it. As these learners embrace the essence of constant evolution and self-drive, they solidify the groundwork for future triumphs in the arts. Securing a spot in reputable art contests enriches a student’s portfolio, making their journey towards an illustrious art career even more attainable.

Parents: The Unsung Champions:

Behind every budding artist, there’s a supportive parent offering encouragement and resources. From equipping them with essential art tools and registering them for enlightening art sessions to promoting daily practice, parents form the backbone of their child’s artistic endeavors. By seeking out academic competitions that resonate with their child’s passion and prowess, parents fan the flames of their child’s love for the arts.

An Arena for Everyone:

One of the joys of drawing competitions is their inclusive nature. Far from being an elitist gathering, these events welcome enthusiasts from varied skill brackets. It’s a call to every child to dive deep into their artistic side, discovering and showcasing their unique interpretation of the world.

More Than Just Art:

Beyond the colors and strokes, drawing competitions are a melting pot of social interactions. Mingling with contemporaries, swapping concepts, and imbibing new perspectives enriches the participants. It’s not just about the art; it’s about forging connections, teamwork, and mutual growth, cultivating vital interpersonal abilities.

The Road to Victory:

Prepping for these contests isn’t a walk in the park. It demands consistent practice, experimenting with diverse artistic approaches, picking the right art materials, and a deep grasp of contest rules and themes. Constructive feedback is gold, but above everything, it’s crucial for kids to relish and immerse themselves in the artistic journey.

In wrapping up, the integration of academic competition and painting drawing in 2023 is a landmark shift in the educational tapestry. It equips young minds to not just rise academically but also to fan the flames of their artistic souls. This dynamic pairing promotes self-realization, ambition, and equips them with key life skills.

As we stride forward in this thrilling epoch, let’s celebrate the promise that every creative endeavor brings, propelling our Star Kidz towards a luminous future. The harmonious blend of academic competition and artistic expression paves the way for a generation that not only excels in traditional education but also thrives in the boundless realms of creativity, innovation, and self-discovery.

The mortal Kombat fixation is at an all time high, I have caved, here are the sillies

Mortal Kombat Oc’s!!!-Part One!

—————————————

Claudia La Rue

(Warning:child abuse, general angst up ahead)

Real name:Claudine Gertrude Carlton

Age:Mid to late twenties

Birth place:Red Hills, Indiana

Current Residence:New York City, New York

Family

-Father:Robert Carlton(deceased)

-Mother:Rose Carlton

-Brothers:Franklin, Jonathon, Jimmy

-Sister:Rebecca

-appearance:standing at 5’6, Claudia has a pale complexion with a roundish face, thinnish brows, hooked nose and blue eyes. Her black hair goes a bit past her shoulders (think a bit like Jessica rabbit but less wavy) and swoops over her left eye.

She has somewhat of a triangular body shape, where her hips are a bit wider than her shoulders. She’s reasonably fit from exercising regularly and getting into fights growing up, so there some noticeable muscle that is usually hidden by her clothing. She’s got small scars on her hands from fighting as a teen, a long scar on the back of her left thigh from a childhood accident, and several cigar burns on the back of her neck brought on by her dad in childhood, usually covered by her hair.

Her default outfit is a white, dressy sleeveless top, a leather jacket, black slacks and black heeled boots that stop just below her knees.

-Backstory:Claudia LaRue can only be described as a young prodigy in the world of fashion. An accomplished jeweler designer all before the age of thirty, she took the world by storm, appearing in all sorts of magazines and interviews. Yet, she is also seen as cold, cut throat, and a workaholic, many believing she stepped on many people “clawing” her way to where she is now. Her background is also one of question and people can only guess that she came from old money or maybe even European royalty by her last name and the way she just is. The only rumor that was entirely accurate was that she has had to fight for a long time.

Claudia was born Claudine Gertrude Carlton in the tiny farming town of Red Hills, Indiana. The fourth out of five children, she was the second daughter born to deputy Rose and farmer Robert Carlton. Her childhood was one of strife as Robert was an angry man, often taking his rage out on his children. Claudia could only really find comfort in her brother Johnny, as they were the closest in age.

They’d could often be found making movies in the backyard with their younger brother Jimmy. Then whenever their parents could be heard arguing, they’d hide under Johnny’s bed for hours, talking about anything. Mostly how they would leave home for good, together. Robert’s abuse would continue to escalate, including burning Claudia with his cigar, until one night, Rose would unalive Robert in self-defense during an argument. She would be cleared of all wrongdoing in court, but the Carlton’s would forever become pariahs in their tiny town.

Claudia would be picked on and in response to this, she was sent up north to a fancy, all girl’s boarding school in New York on scholarship. Yet, she would continue to get bullied up there, for even being on scholarship. Rose had already taught Claudia how to fight a little, which was an advantage against her bullies. She would write often to her mother and Johnny. Claudia would excel in her studies and would make friends, but that still wouldn’t stop her from getting picked on. To finally try to get her bullies to stop, one of her friends told her about the school’s secret fight club. Many of the girls would be in the basement after school hours, beating the crud out of each other. Most of Claudia’s bullies participated within the club and she saw this as a way to get her bullies to leave her alone for good.

Claudia would rise to become the undefeated champion of her entire time at school, succeeding in getting her bullies to stop. Yet, over her time in school, Johnny slowly stopped writing to her. Confused, she went home after she graduated to find that Johnny had changed completely. He had become more obsessed with fame and much more full of himself. He didn’t want to spend time with her anymore as he spent a lot of his time trying to get his start in Hollywood. She wanted to be supportive of him, but it was difficult due to how poorly he was treating her.

She would confront him over his behavior when she was 18, and the two would have a heated argument, where some hurtful things would be said. Johnny would leave home the next day, leaving Claudia hurt and angry. She wasn’t able to leave until a year later. Once she did, she vowed to never return. It was then she would return to New York to get a start on her own career, eventually becoming a jewelry designer.

It was years later when Liu Kang would go searching for his champions, Claudia being one of them. She hadn’t spoken to Johnny in years and definitely wasn’t happy to see him. After some reluctance, she eventually agreed to join Liu Kang.

Riptide

Real name:Seraphina Amin

Age:mid twenties

Birth place:the village of Madinat, Outworld

Current Residence:Lin Kuei Fortress (formerly), Shirai Ryu Fortress (after the events of MK1)

Family

-Father:Ignatius, High Mage of Outworld (deceased)

-MotherBasma Amin (deceased)

-Brother:Harad (deceased)

-Sisters:Panya, Rasvi (deceased)

-appearance:at five feet and eleven inches, Seraphina is a well-built and intimidating looking woman. She has brown-tinted terracotta colored skin, dark brown wavy, bouncy hair that is a normally worn up but is shoulder length and has hazel eyes.

A more rectangular body-type, she is muscular due to her intense training in fighting and magic. Her most noticeable feature is a large, star-like burn scar, reaching from the tip of her left shoulder, covering half of her neck, the a little bit of her chest, the left side of her jaw and most of her left cheek. She’s also got a few scars on her torso from training as a Lin Kuei.

Her default outfit is the standard Lin Kuei/Shirai Ryu uniform but in seafoam green. Her mask is also seafoam green and somewhat resembles coral in its texture, covering up most of her scar.

Backstory:Seraphina Amin was born in a wealthy, but small and remote village up in the mountains of Outworld called Madinat. She was the youngest child out of four siblings, one boy and two other girls, to the high mage of Outworld at the time, Ignatius and his wife Basma Amin. Being the daughter of a high mage, she and her siblings were trained in magic as early as possible. Ignatius was particularly strong in water and ice magic, him teaching his youngest the former. She would live with her family in luxury until one day, it was all taken away in the blink of an eye.

At the tender age of eight, her village was beset upon by an army of the undead. They were lead by a younger Shang Tsung, who was in the process of starting his experiments. He had been given orders by Damashi to destroy Madinat and to end Ignatius, giving him the army of the undead to do so. Due to Madinat being so isolated, they were powerless to stop the attack. Their best bet was Ignatius. Despite being high mage though, he had clearly underestimated Shang Tsung’s power. Ignatius would die, not knowing the fate of his wife and children.

During the chaos, Seraphina would be separated from her mother and siblings. She would witness Shang Tsung striking down her father, and in her anger, would release a powerful wave of magic against Shang Tsung. Her magic was unusually powerful at such a young age, most likely caused by her anger at seeing her father killed, but erratic and unfocused. Shang Tsung would easily win against her, giving her the large scar she now covers with her face mask. Seraphina would seemingly be left to die in the snow.

Fate would intervene, as the girl would wake up in a warm bed, bandaged and taken care of. Also with three random little boys standing over her.

Naturally, she was terrified out of her mind, waking up in an unknown place. She ran out of her room screaming and crying and would disappear. Those three little boys would turn out to be Tomas, Kuai Liang, and Bi Han. And they would be forced to help search for their little guest by their parents.

Unbeknownst to Seraphina, the Lin Kuei had stumbled across the smoldering ruins of Madinat while coming back from a mission in Outworld. Led by the second in command, Zi Rui, he would order his men to search the village for survivors. Zi Rui would find Ignatius, who was amazingly still alive but was quickly being overtaken by magical rot. Ignatius’s last words to Zi Rui were to “find them….keep them safe”. Zi Rui could assume it was the man’s children by a faded portrait on the wall. Seraphina would be the only one he found alive.

Zi Rui and the grandmaster’s wife would be the ones to find Seraphina, hiding out in a pond. It was then that it was realized she could turn into water and had a better grasp of water magic than first assumed. She would be coaxed out primarily by Zi Rui, who would go onto to primarily raise and train her to become a Lin Kuei.

As she grew, she would particularly grow close to Tomas. Both had lost their families at such a young age and could find comfort in each other that both of them had found a new home. Yet, the one person she didn’t get along with, no matter how hard she tried, was Bi Han. He was particularly cold towards her and Tomas and she couldn’t understand why. She would frequently get into scuffles with Bi Han, especially when he was being mean towards Tomas. She would also be witness to the birth of the final child of the grandmaster, a daughter named Min Le. Min Le was difficult pregnancy for the grandmaster’s wife and was born prematurely, so everyone among the Lin Kuei would hold their breath to see if either baby or mother survived.

Thankfully, baby and mother would live, but the latter being severely weakened. Seraphina and Min Le would develop a very sister-like relationship and would be the first one to comfort Min Le when her mother died from illness. She would also protect Min Le from Bi Han as he partially blamed his sister for “taking their mother away” because Min Le’s birth is what “weakened” their mother in the first place.

Eventually graduating to a full Lin Kuei, she would actively be against Bi Han ascending to grandmaster as she didn’t trust him. Yet, she would be in the minority and would be powerless to stop his ascension.

** All CreativeMornings Winnipeg events offer ASL Interpretation.

Talk Information

The Unbreakable Spirit of Liz Choi: Building Endurance as an Executive Leader and First Generation Wealth Creator

Talk Description Liz is no stranger to adversity. From the day she was born, she carried the heavy burden of her parents’ disappointment - all because they wanted a son.

As a young teen, Liz was uprooted from South Korea and sent to live on her own in Canada - forced to learn a new language and culture without any social safety nets to fall back on. As someone inextricably linked to her newcomer identity, she stood strong against relentless discrimination, microaggressions, misogyny and imposter syndrome that often overshadowed her path in Canada.

Yet, against all odds, Liz endured and secured her place as a successful executive leader who is now focused on breaking ground instead of ceilings. Today, she is on a mission to help others along their personal journeys to become first-generation wealth creators.

Join us for an intimate conversation with Liz, where she will share her extraordinary voyage of emotional endurance and mental resilience as a racialized woman in business. Learn from her remarkable journey of establishing a legacy from ground zero while drawing inspiration to craft your own unforgettable story of success.

Meet our Speaker: Liz Choi

Liz Choi is an award-winning and highly sought-after senior executive with over 15 years of leadership experience, currently serving as the CEO of Education Canada Group.

As a proud Korean-Canadian who moved to Canada on her own in her late teens, she firmly believes in the power of storytelling when it comes to disrupting systems of racism, bias, misogyny and patriarchy. There's a good reason she is often referred to as "Liz Ferocious"!

Known as a transformation agent, she breaks new ground and influences innovative change in companies and people alike. When faced with an opportunity, she deploys her “future think” skillset by zeroing in on a strategic vision and winning solution, resulting in unimaginable top and bottom growth. With a remarkable track record for success, Liz manifests the benefits of fearless actions, interconnected strategies and thoughtful execution.

Liz embodies the duality of bold innovation and nurturing genuine connections, believing that people-first systems and fearless leadership can coexist to create healthy and happy workplaces. She proudly wears her given “ferocious” moniker as a badge to ignite conversations, change hearts and minds, and live with transparency. As a change and community champion, she firmly believes that success is grounded in teamwork, truth and trust.

Liz is a passionate volunteer involved with a number of local organizations advancing real and meaningful societal change, most recently serving as Past Chair of the Winnipeg Chamber and Board Member with CentreVenture Development Corporation and YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg.

Liz holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Manitoba and is dedicated to life-long learning. She enjoys a bold cup of coffee, exploring green spaces and spending quality time with her two dogs.

CreativeMornings Monthly Theme: ENDURANCE

Endurance is the unwavering flame that burns within us, illuminating a path through darkness and uncertainty. It is the quiet strength that emerges when challenges test our limits, urging us to push beyond what we thought possible. Endurance is not a mere moment but a relentless spirit that whispers, "keep going" when the world feels heavy. In a world that values instant gratification, endurance is a reminder that the most rewarding victories are born from patience and perseverance. It is the ability to rise, even when we fall, and to embrace the transformative power of persistence. So, let us celebrate the tenacity that resides within us, for in the face of adversity, it is endurance that leads us towards the summit of our potential.

Our Timisoara chapter chose this month’s exploration of Endurance and Ana Kun illustrated the theme.

What’s Out This Week? 8/17

WHY IS TIME MOVING SO FAST

20th Century Men #1 (of 6) - Deniz Camp & S. Morian

At the end of the 20th century, superheroes, geniuses, madmen, and activists rush towards WWIII! A Soviet "iron" hero, a superpowered American president, an insane cyborg soldier, an Afghan woman hellbent on building a better life for her people-these strange yet familiar beings collide in a story that mixes history, politics, and comic book mythology into something totally new. Welcome to 20TH CENTURY MEN, where the edges of our reality and fiction touch, overlap...and then explode.

Nancy is taking up the slack in fine style, cutting a bloody swathe through the Regent rogues' gallery. But a mysterious message starts Jimmy looking into his family's murky past...where he finds a clue to a strange and deadly new danger.

[TRANSLATION]

Twitter thread of all the translations I've done regarding the current situation. You can also find the following pictures there. I'm not as active on tumblr and I tend to update twitter more so if you would like to keep up with my translations, I suggest looking at the thread.

TRCNG's 191119 Vlive

Translations from this news article

See balloon_wanted for more general translations. Note that these screenshots are all recreations of the actual chatrooms.

1. Taeseon wanted to stay in TRCNG but the director made him leave. The others' witnessed Wooyeop's abuse and told the director about it, but the director (see previous post for more details) wouldn't listen.

2. One of the department heads under TS Entertainment cussing at a TRCNG member for doing an unscheduled vlive on the 15th of February 2019.

3. The same department head invited one of the 2001 liners to go to a hostess bar with him.

4. The TRCNG members had no electricity in their laundry room and kitchen so Taeseon texted their manager. To this day, they still don't have electricity.

Looks like I've hit the image limit, so I'll continue via reblogging.

[Transcript of twitter thread: tw child abuse, dec18, and suicide.

Everyone always takes the chance to tweet abt #h3h3isnotoverparty or #h3h3isoverparty or #BanKpopAccounts, but ALL of y'all are silent when it comes to the real, terrible, things that happen in kpop. TRCNG are literally victims of child abuse, and yet they trended for what? A day? Everyone read abt an 18-yr-old kid getting assaulted w a steel chair to the point of being hospitalized, and just. Moved on.

What abt EXO-M? B.A.P? Jonghyun? Sulli? Goo Hara? How long did they trend for?

THAT is what has a body count. Our apathy.

They sue for discrimination & mismanagement and we all cry bc they're tearing the group apart, and maybe we trend smth in our rage. The media has a field day pitting the members against each other, and then the day or week passes and we all forget. And 2 years later they quietly lose the lawsuit & have to pay back debts & are tied up in so much red tape they can't see straight. Because their company saw dollar signs instead of people, bc their company disregarded their health, bc we didn't call out the visible signs of distress in the ppl we supposedly love.

Or worse. They die. They kill themselves, and we tear ourselves apart in our grief & guilt. We trend hashtags and we tell them they did well, and we have the same conversations we have every time. We demand change. Then the day or week passes & we all forget. We forget our rage.

It's happening right now. It's happening w/ TRCNG. There's entire twitter threads of translated evidence. We trended hashtags in our rage. Then the day passed, and we all forgot. The ppl who could be raising awareness are 2 busy trending #h3h3isoverparty or #BanKpopAccounts now.

We have the chance to at least give these kids a voice. But we care more abt our own voices or fancams. That can change, but WE have to change. If we let these things keep happening, then all this loss will be for nothing. We owe it to them to at least try.

Their names are Taeseon & Wooyeop. Their names are Jihun, Hayoung, Hakmin, Jisung, Hyunwoo, Siwoo, Hohyeon, & Kangmin. They are kids & they are being abused.

We can't forget our rage this time. We have to help them, for all the ppl we didn't help before. We have to at least try.]
