All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

#text #fandom #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #this became extremely obvious with Encanto - where the main message of the movie was ignored #and people were so desperate for shipping they started shipping background characters or even the family members....eugh #like at some point you must understand your inability to interact with media outside of a narrow romantic scope is an actual problem #at some point you need to accept you don't ACTUALLY like the media you're interacting with #like genuinely can you say anything else that you like about a piece of media besides the fact you want two characters to kiss? #genuinely i do believe the way some of you interact with things needs to change because it's made fandom spaces literally unbearable #also it has severely limited some of your guy's critical thinking skills #if you want content based around shipping then look at the romance genre it's literally right there for this very reason #shipping just needs to stop dominating fandom discussions and interactions. shipping should not be the main focus of every genre ever ffs #that or y'all need to literally start tagging your shit so that people can actually block it out and find the posts that they want to see

Hot take: I actually think men and women are meant to work together and complement each other and not like,,, dislike each other and be divisive.

#gender wars #txt #unfortunately this is a hot take in today's world #specially on social media #“WeLl ACKShualLy-” you know some moron is gonna come up with an idiotic argument #that justifies why men and women MUST be separate #funny how all the people who claim to be logical and have excellent critical thinking skills throw it away when it comes to gender-related #discussions by any means necessary because they were told that they should discard all logic and be led by emotion for the “cause”

There was never going to be any form of Jewish self defense that the world would deem acceptable, and there was never going to be any act of anti-Jewish terrorism that the world would deem unacceptable.

There is nothing Israel could ever do to defend itself that wouldn’t be accused of going too far, of being “way beyond self defense.” There is no method of Israeli self defense that wouldn’t be maligned as “genocide.”

Inversely, there is no atrocity that could ever be committed against Jews that wouldn’t be denied/excused/justified. There is no level of violence against Jews, however gruesome, however blatant in its goal of genocide and targeting innocents, however many children and babies are burned alive and kidnapped, that wouldn’t be justified as “resistance,” as something that the Jews must have provoked, as the very least that Jews deserve, as something that the terrorists were driven to and couldn’t possibly be expected not to do.

No act of violence against Jews was ever not going to be called “resistance,” and no response from Israel was ever not going to be called a “genocide.”

The only Jewish country in the world was never not going to be maligned as the worst country in the world.

For fuck’s sake, use some critical thinking skills.

#for thousands of years everyone thought they had a really good reason to hate and kill the Jews #that they were even righteous for it #you are not immune to propaganda #antisemitism #israel #jumblr #media bias #critical thinking #critical thinking skills

The Joker isn’t insane, he just really fucking sucks.

#dc #batman #the joker #my man is not disconnected from reality #he has better critical thinking skills then most adults #bro plans ahead

[the-catboy-minyan]

so many "pro palestine" ppl believe Israel should die and so many "zionist" ppl believe Palestine should live, stop pretending the world is black and white.

#istg western media with its narrow worldview and representation of hero vs villain is fucking up a lot of people's critical thinking skills

[miimeeks]

something i find worrying is that antis that are minors will call people pedos but will continue interacting and trying to harass them. like. kids if you genuinely think someone is a pedophile you should not be involving yourself with them. unless. maybe . you don't actually think that 🤔 and are just using whatever word makes someone a "bad" person

#proship #proshippers please interact #proship please interact #they arent using critical thinking skills or considering internet safety #which isnt too surprising seeing their entire thing is the opposite of that

kingdom shopping carts i dunno man

[mad-scientist-enthusiast]

Remember when Baby Boomers and Gen X sparked that whole violent video game debate and everyone sane collectively rejected it?

Like we all agreed that the cause of violent and criminal behavior is usually not one thing, but many different factors, and that enjoying video games that have violence in them doesn't inherently lead to violent behavior... Right?

So

You guys also realize this applies to more than just video games... Right?

Please tell me you do.

#I think much of tumblr has lost the ability to think critically #please use your critical thinking skills guys #internet discourse #fandom discourse

twitter is crazy because somebody like sunday can say plain as day “i hate the idea of ‘survival of the fittest’ because i view myself as weak and understand how other fellow weak people feel, so i want to make a paradise where the weak and strong are equal and everybody can be protected under my watchful gaze” with very clear connotations towards catholicism/orthodoxy, the sacrifice of christ, and ‘the ones who walk away from omelas’ by ursula le guin (a story about a perfect utopian world that only remains such at the expense of a small child below the surface that is left alone to suffer) and be equated to that of a fascist ableist in support of real world eugenics that wants to kill minorities to create a perfect paradise.

tldr; learn to read before you make your ‘informative threads.’

#hsr #sunday hsr #rant #maybe open your ears next time #hsr fandom lacking critical thinking skills as per usual #sundays character is so beautifully tragic & then u twist him into this alienated hobsquash #there’s a reason why people argue that his goals and ambitions are based #because they are #he is very very well intentioned #and if u can’t see that then u also lack reading skills idk what to tell u friend #hsr sunday #honkai star rail

Also idk what parent needs to hear this but with the curriculum changing to reflect bigotry, you'll have to pickup the slack at home.

Not knowing your history and awful education leads to entire countries of people that dont know what communism actually is, never learned about organized workers movements (despite capitalism being the system), and can't recognize fascism when it's staring them in the face.

It's not a coincidence bigots are densely populated in areas with awful education systems. And it's not a coincidence they don't even see it as bigotry.

My kid is 9. She knows about police brutality, classism, and racism and why we fight it. She had to. She's brown kid, poor, and ADHD; naive by nature for the moment and I don't want her being taken advantage of or exploited. It's why she knows about boundaries, saying "no", and listening to herself.

This year during PRIDE she'll learn about stonewall and why we're still fighting for that too. She's old enough to tag along and participate with more understanding so she will. She's learned about bodily autonomy and women's rights as well. And she's learned about having a healthy relationship with nature; to respect the critters, plants, water, and climate.

Protest and fighting and standing up for yourself and your rights and being a good ally are all family values in my house. And if the school won't teach that to her then it's on me, just like it's on all of us.

And no, she doesn't know or understand enough to have a whole debate but she's 9. There's still so much time to teach her more. But she understands the basics and for kids, it really doesn't need to be more complicated than that because she's just interacting with other kids.

I taught her about police & homophobia in 2020 as soon as I got her back from her homophobic dad. She was 6.

It was as easy as "But I'm a gay people too & when you say theyre gross that hurts my feelings. Do you have to think what your dad thinks?"

Giving her the freedom to make that choice herself, to disagree, and grow out of it and end that association with "gross" was the best thing I could've done for her. Cuz guess who told me she might like boys and girls 3 years later?

Those many tiny talks over time could've saved her from decades of shame induced trauma.

Our kids deserve everything. And they deserve better. We must teach them that and we need to teach them to fight for it. Teach them what to fight against.

They aren't too young. Give them more credit. "Think of the children" by educating yours.

#im also not sitting there giving lectures #just every now and then we'll talk about it - bring it up while watching a show or talk about inflation at the store for example #i don't want to discuss it with her so much that she becomes stressed by it so its only maybe once a month or so #keeps her critical thinking skills enaged #parenting #parents #allies #gen alpha #millenials #gen z #solidarity #fascism

#zero critical thinking skills in this fandom I’m afraid #too many of yall are celebrity worshippers who want tay to interact with her public persona as much as possible #just so that you can consume as much pop culture news as possible #please find other things to be interested in #you don’t have to know every detail of her relationship #y’all hate introverts too and it’s so obvious #your praise her when she valued her privacy and now you look back on that and say she was in jail? #taylor swift #taylorswift #ts #the tortured poets department #ttpd #joe alwyn #swifties #yall need to learn to not place value on superficial Hollywood celebrity gossip
