#but racism 🙄

[mamawasatesttube]

yknow i gotta say. lex luthor can be a really fun and interesting villain, but sometimes it does just take me aback the way some people talk about him when trying to make him funny and cool, as if his biggest and most infamous shtick is not extreme, violent xenophobia.

#rimi talks #the man is literally genocidal. AND he wants to kick krypto when he has kryptonite out. thats racism AND animal cruelty #like he can genuinely be such a fun and fascinating villain!!!!! he can!! he's FUN in say superman birthright #but for example new krypton lex? i wanted to throttle that man. i did. #and like i know people do stuff like haha what if supervillain was actually fun or funny or cool etc #but imo that can be done in ways that don't downplay that he Fuckign SUCKS #see also: reign of the supermen movie lex. horrible man. also hilarious to see him onscreen with lois #but the ''good dad lex luthor'' stuff (🙄) and other things in that general vein make me so.... #you know that man would be violently abusive to an alien child in the same way white supremacists are violently abusive to mixed children. #you guys know that. right? his entire thing is vehement and violent xenophobia. you guys know that right #lex luthor (derogatory) #<- its been a hot minute since i blogged about him but im like 90% sure thats my lex tag

Stop accusing Jews of being Zionist. We've spent the last 2000 years being singled out and targeted by Christians, and we're really sick of it.

“He's not a Zionist. Can you stop declaring every Jew you don't personally like a Zionist? You don't get to determine what someone's personal beliefs are.”

Oxford Languages definition of “Zionism”:

“[A] movement for (originally) the re-establishment and (now) the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel. It was established as a political organization in 1897 under Theodor Herzl, and was later led by Chaim Weizmann.”

Neil Gaiman’s 2023 beliefs:

“… Israel has the right to exist….”

That he advocates a two-state solution later in his statement doesn’t make him not a Zionist. Believing Israel has a right to exist makes you a Zionist. “Moderate” Zionists exist. “Milquetoast liberal” Zionists exist.

As for this idea that I’m accusing every single Jewish person [I don’t like] of being a Zionist… scroll through my blog, get me those receipts, and get back to me. You’ll be sorely disappointed.

i’m so ready for these writers to go on strike. hopefully, better wages and working conditions can inspire the whole rookie team to be more thoughtful about the optics of a sequence like this.

because affirming five misogynistic and racist stereotypes in just a few minutes is an atrocious record. let's take a closer look.

stereotype #1: women are socially obligated to say yes to hosting guests in their home with little to no notice.

a minute before her younger white female roommate opens the front door to their apartment, an asian woman is given a heads up by her white boyfriend that his white ex-wife is knocking on the other side.

the latter is in town to chat about an operation she was previously involved in, so he invited her to his new girlfriend’s apartment to discuss. the asian woman is visibly stunned by the surprise, but says yes to her coming in nonetheless, as she’s socially obligated to.

stereotype #2: women are socially obligated to serve all surprise guests, even though someone else invited them over.

instead of the boyfriend stepping up to host his guest, the asian woman is forced to showcase her good manners to ask the ex-wife what she would like for refreshments.

after giving the waitress her order, the ex-wife and the boyfriend then sit side-by-side on the two-person couch, without a single offer from the boyfriend to help in kitchen, even though he was just cooking.

stereotype #3: women are gossipers who only talk about men.

in the boyfriend's absence, the roommate enters the chat again by becoming a vehicle to comment on the absurdity of the situation. this interaction between her and the asian woman fails the bechdel test.

stereotype #4: asian women are considered 'the help', so the ppl they serve don't have to meaningfully acknowledge their presence.

fast forwarding a bit, the asian woman goes to serve the coffee to the white woman. but the coffee table is low! so she crouches down to place the mug on a coaster. the white ppl are deep in conversation, and pay her very little mind for her above & beyond hospitality.

stereotype #5: white ppl look down on asian ppl.

to top everything off, the asian woman wasn't explicitly invited to the white ppl's conversation. she had to invite herself to it, even though she is the only one of the three who is authorized to partake in cleaning the mess from the op.

making matters worse, there's no more room on the couch! so where does set dec put her? on her knees, on the floor–in her own home–a full head lower than the white ppl on the couch as the white ppl allude to asking for her help, but never explicitly do so.

i want to be very clear.

first–it's not isabel's fault that the writers couldn't decide whether to cast her as a friend or foe, thus leaving lucy in the lurch like this.

second–the onus is not on the asian actress to decline to kneel on the ground. like lucy, the actress is not empowered to say no in an industry where there aren't that many slots available for ppl of a marginalized group to be securely employed. please do not question whether melissa o'neil is asian enough to experience racism.

third–sure, i may be the only one who's very disappointed by this, but that's one too many ppl imo. it's statistically impossible for all those hands to touch this work from planning to post-prod with not a single person in a position of power saying, 'hey, that looks a lil sus, don't ya think?' with a just a lil more creativity, all of these issues could've been avoided.

I don’t like how some people are calling G3 Venus “an ogre” or “looks like an ogre”. It’s only G3 Venus too and never G1 everywhere I see people commenting on the new G3 MH doll.

#would y’all f off #monster high #venus mcflytrap #monster high g3 #monster high gen 1 #they never call G1 Venus that especially when G1 also has green skin pointed ears and hands #we all know why this is the case though 🙄 #cw racism

Also why is Minthara a "Lolth-Sworn" Drow, when she clearly doesn't like Lolth? Like did Larian just give her the "evil" subrace (gross of them to have it be that why in the game tbh) because she's "evil?"

#bg3 #minthara baenre #( i have hated the whole ''Lolth-sworn'' and ''Seldarine'' drow thing since EA. it just so fucking asinine. ) #( a term of drow who are loyal to Lolth already existed that it is Lolthite. AND Seldarine is the name of the elven pantheon. ) #( ''hello i am elven pantheon drow!'' / “fellowship of brothers and sisters of the wood drow” 🙄 ) #( also almost all of the elven pantheon want to have all of the drow die. they are not welcoming to them. because racism. ) #( and Eilistraee is part of the drow pantheon not the elven one. and knowledge of her is basically nonexistent to most drow. ) #( i hate so much on how drow are handled in this game. )

“The woman dies.

She dies to provide a plot twist. She dies to develop the narrative. She dies for cathartic effect. She dies because no one could think of what else to do with her. Dies because there weren’t any better story ideas around. Dies because her death was the very best idea that anyone could come up with.

‘I’ve got it! Let’s kill her off!’

‘Yes! Her death will solve everything!’

‘Okay! Let’s hit the pub!’

And so, the woman dies. The woman dies so the man can be sad about it. The woman dies so the man can suffer. She dies to give him a destiny. Dies so he can fall to the dark side. Dies so he can lament her death. As he stands there, brimming with grief, brimming with life, the woman lies there in silence. The woman dies for him. We watch it happen. We read about it happening. We come to know it well.”

- The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda (translated by Polly Barton)

Max, Eleven, Jonathan, and Will had a support system Billy did not. Billy was also very clearly reactive, aggressive, and angry in his reaction to abuse those characters were not. Billy also made some pretty big mistakes that hurt people due to his traumatized background that some people might vibe with more. Some fans might just see themselves or connect to Billy’s character more than other characters on the show.

#max mayfield #eleven #jonathan byers #will byers #stranger things #Billy Hargrove #mike wheeler #nancy wheeler #joyce byers #steve harrington #eddie munson #dustin henderson #robin buckley #let people enjoy fandom liking a fictional character isn’t and act that will harm you🙄 #how people react to abuse is different not everyone is gonna connect to how the main characters dealt with abuse🙄 #just a thought but maybe someone liking a fictional character doesn’t mean automatically excusing racism!!!!???

And this is exactly why we don’t trust white women. No matter how “progressive” they pretend to be there will always be the few that say some wild and racist mess like this:

Like how did she even begin to think that this was ok? I think she deleted her account too and good riddance.

so y'all dug up and circulated private pics of tenoch with his very young daughters, saw they were all of a lighter complexion, yet wanna act swindled and bamboozled at the fact that the mother of his children is-gee golly-a white woman??? I coulda told you that.

#surely if a man of color speaks out against racism he mustn't be allowed to have relations with women of the wyte variety🙄🙄🙄 #yall are so goddamn annoying #yall remember we once had to fight for interracial relationships right? this isnt some kind of betrayal. tenoch did not trick you #or pull out a rug out from under you #also he's dated women of color which you would kniw if you read his book so maybe get off the internet and read that instead #tenoch huerta #tenoch huerta mejia #ppl are mad he (was?) married to a wyte woman but i looked at that pic and was like: wow she looks like a regular average person? yay?!
