Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.
Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.
Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.
Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.
But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?
“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”
Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.
Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.
By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.

actually, i'm gonna say it;
i'll never forgive the TSP fandom for taking the valid critique of " hey isn't it just a little weird that this character without a form is most often depicted as a conventionally attractive skinny guy "
& turned it into " guys let's not police anybody's designs here that's not cool, everyone's design is valid "
nobody ( competent ) said you HAD to change your designs or that they were bad, they just asked you to consider a very glaringly obvious trope IN the pool of designs, but you had almost everyone bastardizing that message as " policing "
guys, all that was being pointed out was that " conventional attractiveness " seemed / seems to be the norm for a character that doesn't even have a physical description, much less anything that alludes TO him being attractive beyond personal tastes.
we were just asking you to think about that.

scaremongering about detransition also has explicitly transmisogynistic undertones where trans women are positioned as predators preying on cis women to nefariously delude them into thinking their discomfort with misogyny is actually the (made up) condition of dysphoria, done with the intent to destroy their youthful feminine bodies and pervert the natural order of society. you are literally not worth listening to if you don’t acknowledge this basic political fact about how transphobia is articulated in the virulently transmisogynistic mainstream press

One day I will write an entire piece on why Ranni's questline is a perfect example of a subtle, gothic, and chivalric romance story but one that still manages to be so blatantly in your face about both the Tarnished and Ranni's feelings for one another that you can't miss it. And yet, people still insist that it's platonic because Ranni isn't jumping into the Tarnished's arms and proclaiming her undying affection for them (even though she does say she loves them in her own quiet way with the fucking key but I digress) and it makes me fear that reading literacy is at an all-time low worldwide.

tw: discussion of a trans man being murdered
i want to say something about what happened to malte and the quite frankly disgusting reactions that people have had to him being killed, but i’ve been struggling to find the words and the energy necessary.
it really feels like there are only two things that can happen when a trans man is killed: either people just don’t say shit about it and everyone acts like nothing happened, or the internet decides to turn an actual fucking person’s violent death into a discourse battleground where they can debate about how oppressed we really are or if it’s even possible that one of us could be killed for being trans men.
y’all will tell us until you’re blue in the face that it’s our responsibility to “use our male privilege” to defend women from cis men, but when one of us steps up to do that and gets fucking killed for it, you try to say it had nothing to do with him being a trans man as if the (presumably cis) women he was killed for defending aren’t still out there living while he’s gone now.
how dare you encourage us constantly to put ourselves in harm’s way and then turn the other way when it ends in fatal violence toward one of us just like we said it would — or even worse, spit on the dead trans man’s memory by using his death as an excuse to deny that the violence he was killed by even exists? it’s fucking shameful, it really is.
it’s bad enough that he died, but of course y’all couldn’t just leave it at that, you had to have the most immature possible reaction to it, just to rub salt in the wound.
what he did was nothing less than fucking heroic and what happened was a tragedy and this is how y’all respond? he died because he wanted to protect the people in this community; the absolute least you can do is show some fucking respect.
i promise, you can have your shitty little debates over our existence without dragging a dead man into them. if you have even a shred of decency left in you, stop fighting for two seconds and just let him rest.

If ace and arophobes really are coming back to tumblr then I'm not apologizing for how nasty I'll be to them btw. I've got no plans to seek them or their rhetoric out but if it happens organically then I'mma tear them bitches a new one and I don't care if it leads to them hatebombing me with death and rape threats again like they did when I was 14 and 17 <3 theres 10 million problems out there in the world that need solving but theoretical cishet men 'infiltrating' the queer community ain't one of them

something that breaks my heart every day is that—in crime and punishment—raskolnikov TRULY believes that razumikhin is different than everyone else. he thinks he’s better than the others, kinder, smarter (his words, not mine), and for that he’s someone to trust. raskolnikov also believes that the majority of people are louses and has a superiority complex, yet contradicts himself in proving his sentiment towards razumikhin.
razumikhin believes that raskolnikov is better than the others, he’s just misunderstood. he becomes actively agitated, and often aggressive, when they can’t perceive raskolnikov the way he does. because he sees something they don’t when he looks at raskolnikov: intelligence, a kindness hidden poorly, the goodness. he sees the goodness in everyone, or at least sees the PERSON in everyone, of course—but no one will he defend to further extent.
like, no matter which connotation you view their relationship with, the way they perceive one another is so special and inevitably heartbreaking. they both think the other is better than everyone else around them, or different, at least. anyways.

nothing will make you sympathise with conspiracy theorist ideology more than having a seemingly rare reaction to a vaccine lmao.
#reading articles that try to falsify genuine incorrect information about the covid vaccines from 2021 is making me feel insane#'there's no way the covid vaccine can trigger an autoimmune disorder' uhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH#factually extremely wrong!#they're soooo condescening too like why on EARTH do you think people who are genuinely sick or scared would believe you.#they'll be like there's no scientific evidence that anyone can be harmed by the covid vaccine <3 blatantly untrue.#I know that part of this is retrospect like obviously since more studies have come out and all#but it's infurirating bc they're from the time *I* was having those symptoms *and* telling doctors about it *and* being told the connection#to my other severe symptoms from the covid vaccine were Utterly Impossible (since proven false) and that if the symptoms WERE related#it meant i had a life threatening illness at worst and had a high chance of losing my vision at best#likeeeeeeeee#doctors still DO NOT know what the fuck they're doing do NOT trust anyone who gives ANY 100% answers#i don't know why i'm doing this i just said to stop obsessing but i'm just reading pages and articles on countering misinformation to make#sure i don't -- i want to know the conspiracy theories to recognise them immediately right#and then people are just saying bullshit to defend themselves#i mean most of the anti covid vacc people were also far right so i don't have too much sympathy for their vaccine ideology#but like. fucking hell what a way to push people into conspiracies.#you CAN'T counter misinformation by SPREADING MORE MISINFORMATION#just because it SOUNDS BETTER and MORE REASSURING to say there's not chance of harm doesn't mean you should#there's A LOW chance of harm THAT IS MUCH MUCH less high than the impacts of covid#god I'm pissed off. 2021 i was so fucking terrified of spreading this shit just by talking about my lived experiences.#to say i was not taking the pandemic seriously OR anti vax is so blatantly ridiculous considering who I am as a person but that doesn't mea#that the covid vaccine specifically didn't make me ill ://////#delete

If Square ever hires me we're getting a Genesis-centric game no one wanted where Genesis has catty inner monologues and the set goal of the plot is acquiring people who can tolerate him for more than five minutes.
Also you solve a mystery or something.

valorant released a non binary agent who uses they/them pronouns and as expected from these incel gamer men they are misgendering them and saying being disrespectful and it has been impossible for me to watch any streamer play valorant or play clove (the agent in question) without someone in chat misgendering them and i understand that some people might get wrong it and then apologize but when you are typing in chat and you choose to type out "she" and you KNOW the character goes by they/them pronouns i am just assuming you are doing it on purpose. bc it's one thing to get it wrong when you are speaking irl and you say the wrong pronouns without thinking but on the internet and you typing and you decide to type out she or her when referring to them while riot made explicit that they use they/them pronouns while the mods in chat keep saying they use these pronouns and this whole release is about them being non binary like i am sorry at this point i am just assuming you are a piece of shit and you are doing it on purpose it's hard to give these people the benefit of the doubt when it has been said time and time again what they identify as what pronouns they use it's EXHAUSTING

genuinely dont like being a hater (especially not publically) bc i hate creating conflict but also do u ever see. like. a fanwork of sorts. and its obvious that op has no idea anything about the character outside of "they are [x identity] and so i assign them [specific archetype based on that identity and not on the actual character]"

lowkey hate seeing people say "oh michael fans never talk about the fact that he did bad things" because 1. its literally not true and 2. for the kind of fan that i am its like. when you tell your friends or family or partner or whoever that you love them, do you say it like "i love and care about you deeply but i also recognize that youre a flawed individual whos made mistakes in their life and that youre not actually a good person. i am telling you this so you know that i realize how complex of a person you are and that i respect it" DO YOU HAVE STUPID??
