oooooo white people in my replies really saying ‘I can excuse racism but I draw the line at homophobia’
Not surprised since this is the site that only talks about racism and thinks it’s a big deal when they see it demonstrated in the cartoons and comics they like *coughs* dungeonmeshi *coughs* (for example at least. I haven’t seen THIS many white ppl talk as in depth about racism on here as much as these fandom nerds, man. I stg. Like “Ohhhh, so you all DO acknowledge that racism is real? Just not in real life even if you could feel it slapping you in the face at high speed. Gotcha.” It’s crazy.
Tumblr is like, 90% white and is extremely centered around them. That’s why you barely see stuff that’s important to black and brown people ever trending here or being talked about. It has to be something incredibly huge to the point where even white people can’t ignore it like they usually do, to talk about it here.
They only talked about George Floyd here because the topic of his death became world news. Even people in other countries were talking about it. Before him, it was probably Ferguson and Trayvon Martin… most of them are still trying their best to ignore the genocides because it’s a “touchy subject.” What do you expect from white people who live in their own bubbles of comfort and refuse to pop it with a needle??? They find comfort in their privilege and faux ignorance (they love playing stupid to avoid conversations about important things outside of fandoms like, are these mfs born with half a brain dedicated to fandom or what.) That’s literally all these mfs make a big deal out of, especially on this annoying ass platform. The ao3 mfs will go to war for the site that allows racist ff and cp like it’s no big deal. I wonder how many people here even donated to the site while actively scrolling past dono posts from folks who really do need help. They act like they’re doing a civil service by defending this site that makes over the amount of it’s intended dono goal in minutes.
Then you already know as soon as you even bring up racism in the stuff they like, they start ganging up and harassing black bloggers especially, calling them TERFs and the whole nine. Anything to make that person look bad for being concerned about the racism that they have such an intense aversion to. God, it’s absolutely exhausting knowing that these people would have no problem choosing a cartoon character over your entire existence if they COULD. Isn’t that fucking sad, man?

Honestly the conversations that were had at All-Minds-Burn feel like the best summary of what’s probably going on internally with Ashton and has been since roughly Issylra.
The whiplash of their mental state in the span of like 30 minutes. Being told by one of their childhood friends who left them to die that they’ve always been pretty broken. Then the second another one of his closest childhood friends expresses some fear towards him he’s like. “Yeah. Even though I really don’t want to hurt you I literally can’t promise that I won’t because I’m broken and can’t control myself.” Obviously Imogen HEARS all this so the second they leave she’s reassuring them that they’re an important part of the group as well as someone ~ special ~ and INSTANTLY he’s jumping on it like. “Yeah, of course! We’re all SO special. I already knew that. Let’s go save the world together.”
Truly encapsulates the wild up and downs recently of being told they’re simultaneously a fate bound enigma sent to aid in saving the world as well as a dangerous vessel to unknowable ancient powers who could kill everyone into such a shorter period of time lmao

every time i think i should end my friendship with my irl friend group they come back and treat me like a loving family again. then i get left in the cold again. it’s been an endless cycle for years. i can handle waiting a few weeks for a message like “omggg im so sorry i didn’t see this!!!! i still love you and we should totally hang out!!!!” but when it happens almost every single time? i can’t keep dealing with this.
“you’re one of the most important people in my life!!!!” i’m sure we both believe that but it’s been a week since i asked if we can make plans and you’ve been responding to everyone else besides me. am i the asshole here? they’re all like this and i know they’re busy with work so maybe i am the asshole

I had a very tiresome day and I’m totally worn out but I saw a lot of good Palestine posts that I’ll try to reblog soon and in the meantime, everyone who sees this should go look at the free Palestine tag (and participate in the global strike, do whatever you can to get governments’ attention and force them to stop killing people).
