ash asked me to elaborate on this so i'll take it as an excuse to rant but basically theres a line from don in s2 that directly translates to 'don't cry, rossi. boys don't cry.' which is not only fucking gross on its own and even worse given that he's speaking to a terrified five year-old in this scene, but they literally could not have chosen a more baffling character to say that if they tried. here's a little collection of don panels from the manga for no reason in particular

genshin player’s switch up on sumeru characters will haunt me forever honestly i’ve never seen such a large amnt of people act so utterly fake in such a small period of time😭
#everyone really pretended they cared abt the colourism and racism HNDBDJXBXXJ#sumeru as a whole still makes me feel so uncomfy to this day with the weird ass storyline and colourism and whitening of several characters#but now everyone is just fawning over how sexy al haitham and kaveh are or how cute nahida is like#😭 idk man i can’t stand it#it annoys me soooooooooooo much#even worse how sumeru characters are plastered all over my social media everywhere#the switch up of how big of a deal everyone made the sumeru design reveal to be at the start only for their banners and character popularity#to be some of the highest ones#like . likeeeeee …………..#feels so gross#anyways rant over i’m gonna stay in my lil mondstadt liyue bubble forever lol#not that those nations are perfect either but at least it isn’t tinged with the feeling of disgust towards fans 😭#also the amount of racism and colourism i saw people blatantly show with the release of sumeru was so crazy it makes my skin crawl#anyways i rly hate like 99% of sumeru ships and i don’t get how everyone can just brainlessly enjoy this region’s characters at all#esp when they are all SO white it bugs me to no end in hate it i hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee#still so disappointed with kaveh’s design especially i think he was my last straw#i was hoping so bad he wouldn’t be some basic white bitch but he came out looking like btec howl PLEASE 🤨#and the way everyone loves him just makes me hate him more lmfaooo#the most basic and boring design in the whole world it makes me feel Nothing at all

playing an ongoing game called ‘learn whats acceptable to say in someones tags or get blocked’. a lot of you are losing.
#i know i can be cringe or annoying but like. theres a difference between joking on something vs fucking insulting someone you dont know#is this person talking about something they enjoy that you dont? filter the tag and post content and go on with your day#if theyre too annoying then just unfollow for a bit and check back later even#is this person a fan of a character you hate?? put it on your own post instead of coming onto someones account to bitch in their tags#you are literally insulting a real life person over a fictional character. over a show. over a comic. what is wrong with you.#unless the thing they like is actively rooted in real life hate (racism sexism misogyny ableism transphobia etc) that will reflect#and cause real life harm then it literally doesn't fucking matter if you disagree with someone.#youre not making me want to read and consider your opinion about something i literally consume for fun and because haha autism s/i#by calling me an idiot or by saying how i (a disabled person) am ‘braindead’ because i have a different opinion or whatever.#youre just being mean because you feel like you have an excuse to pretend youre superior to someone#like idk how to break it to you but dick grayson isnt going to suck your dick despite you insulting a real person over him lmao.#anyways. im going to block you if you insult me. im going to block you if you see my post on something i like thats harmless and tell me#how much you personally hate it or disagree. i dont care. make your own post because now you cant make it on mine.#and my anon is temporarily off (sorry shy mutuals </3) because a lot of ppl dont have common decency on what's okay to say or demand lol

wait are there people earnestly defending genshin by saying that dark skin just doesn't work in anime style?
oh that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Other stuff I’ve seen (on my own damn, very neutrally worded post even) are
-but but there’s light skinned people in the Middle East too they’re just representing them! (Ok and where are the dark skinned people? MENA/SWANA isn’t 98% lily white WHERE ARE YOUR BRONE AND BLACK PEOPLE?)
-no one cares lol (hm well there’s 1k+ notes on this and 25+ comments all agreeing this was a wasted opportunity, so clearly by statistical alone you’re…wrong. Quite a few people care actually!)
-china doesn’t care about dark skinned people so they won’t put dark skinned people in! (Holy xenophobia. Uh. Ok so china DOES have a serious issue w colorism+racism BUT it’s also not a racial monolith AND it also has some pretty diverse gatcha games already? For starters there’s arknights and dislyte, and there’s absolutely more. Don’t use an entire country to shield one company’s shitty racist decisions bc that’s ALSO racist)
- his skin is white bc he’s based off a fennec fox which has white fur (literally when has any kemonomimi design based the skin color off the fur and not the hair. Even yae miko FROM GENSHIN has pink fur and pink hair, her skin is independent of that)
-I personally am from that region and am pale so I do not see the problem (ok good for you? But tons of people who ARENT pale (or who are but wanted more diversity) are rightly frustrated that the first region where they had an honest reason to make more people dark skinned refuses to go darker that a cafe au lait. they aren’t doing this to rep light skinned south Asians or North Africans or whoever they’re doing it bc they don’t think it’s worth it to represent darker skin tones and YOU KNOW THIS. Don’t be stupid at me)
on that note, I’ve seen very similar trains of dumbasses run on other people who have brought up legitimate complaints on the outfits that the sumeru cast has been put in. It doesn’t matter how well they researched actual Persian dancer outfits or the effect western oreintalism and movies like Aladdin has had in it and the perception of their dance and culture, or their personal relation to it, or how they word it, a bunch of idiots will inevitably be like ‘well I think that the outdated inaccurate racist outfits that they referenced off of other gatcha games and jrpgs from the 90s is sexy and I don’t care about this so shut the fuck yo and stop asking them to do better’ and it pisses me off, honestly
Like really? Why is this so hard for people to understand? If you’re going to use real life cultures you have to try and be respectful of them-and the real life ones are often WAY prettier and more creative than anything a lazy sterotypes from the 1800s could’ve come up with. We can do better now and it looks better feels better and is more interesting and engaging so why are people so resistant to it? Why does it hurt their brains so much to think about the fact they aren’t the center of the world for once? Idk
Tumblr media
And for the record, before anyone gets any ideas, fgo is NOT better just bc arjuna and ashwatthama are actually dark skinned. You can’t say shit about how racist Scheherazade’s design is on twitter without a bunch of people who think masturbating to porn filtered with racial tags applied makes them culturally sensitive screaming at you about how you’re too easily offended and need to get over yourself; bc as we all know the hypersexualization and fetishization of dark skinned women isn’t a serious irl issue that is perpetuated by stupid shit like a gatcha game having its horny h*rem girl design tell you that you should just station her in your bedroom bc that’s all she’s useful for when you summon her! (THIS IS SARCASM)
Like ffs one side here is obviously more easily offended than the other and it’s not the one you think…

One of these I’m gonna write out all my thoughts on Greek mythology as it exists in the modern lens — as a Greek person who grew up with these stories being very important to me as well as an autistic person who has a special interest they’ve put a lot of effort and actual research into — but also I kinda don’t wanna since I feel like despite my efforts to unify different aspects of mythos, religion, and storytelling, instead all it’s gonna do is grant me the anger of classicists, Hellenists/pagans, people who’ve fandomized myth either by the canon* stories or through some interpretation/piece of media, AND other Greek people because all of these groups would literally prefer to be at each other’s throats than to find any sort of common ground fjjdjsjskjfjf

The Tosh/Nova “choice” is literally so stupid. Are you genuinely asking me if I want to side with the literal hand of the government that wants us both dead because I fear the risk of letting out a bunch of psychic murderers. IN WINGS OF FUCKING LIBERTY, NO LESS. “Oooh they might kill people and have scary psychic powers” NOVA YOU ARE LITERALLY A GHOST. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A SCARY PSYCHIC MURDERER LOOK IN THE MIRROR. “THEY MIGHT KILL PEOPLE” AND MENGSK’S GOVERNMENT WON’T? EMPOWERING MENGSK’S GOVERNMENT IS NOT EMPOWERING THE MURDER MACHINE??? THE GOVERNMENT THAT CAME TO POWER BY WIPING OUT A PLANET BY SICCING A HORRIFIC ALIEN ARMY ON IT (WHICH WOULD LIKELY ALSO PROVOKE A SECOND HORRIFIC ALIEN ARMY INTO SHOWING UP TO GLASS ANY POSSIBLE SURVIVORS OF THIS APOCALYPSE)???? THE GOVERNMENT THAT HAS A PSYCHIC ASSASSIN TALKING TO ME RIGHT NOW????? DON’T MAKE ME FUCKING LAUGH (AND SHE’S BEING FUCJED UP AND ABLEIST ABOUT IT TOO IN A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF “THE WRITERS TRY TO DEMONIZE A MENTALLY ILL CHARACTER BUT THEY ACCIDENTALLY MAKE THEM A CHARACTER THAT I WOULD KILL AND DIE FOR AND BE IN THEIR CORNER LIKE A MFER BECAUSE THEY’RE LITERALLY BEING VICTIMIZED BY THEIR OWN WRITERS LIKE LITERALLY THE FASTEST WAY TO MAKE ME GO FROM 0 TO “I WOULD BURN DOWN THE WORLD FOR YOU”) 
AND THIS IS AGAINST TOSH. TOSH WHO HAS BEEN ACTING SHADY AND MILDLY INVASIVE AT WORST. TOSH WHO HAS BEEN FAIR TO YOU AND HAS NOT LIED TO YOU THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME. TOSH WHO HAS KEPT HIS WORD AND HAS SHARED HIS CONCERNS. LIKE LITERALLY HIS GREATEST CRIME IN TERMS OF YOUR ALLIANCE WITH HIM IS TO KEEP SOME INFO FROM YOU AND TO ACT WEIRD. AND THE REASONING IS THAT TOSH AND HIS BESTIES ARE DISTURBED AND VOLATILE??? AFTER THE FACT THAT HALF MY UNITS ARE EXPLICITLY STATED TO BE DISTURBED AND VOLATILE CRIMINALS???? THE FACT THAT TYCHUS WHO IS EXPLICITLY MY ALLY IS A DISTURBED AND VOLATILE CRIMINAL AND NARRATIVELY HE ENDS UP BEING BAD BECAUSE HE IS WORKING FOR, YOU GUESSED IT, MENGSK AND HIS GOVERNMENT????? AND WITH, IN MIND, THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE PLOT OF STARCRAFT II REVOLVES AROUND SARAH KERRIGAN, WHO IS ALSO A GHOST WHO IS EXTREMELY DISTURBED FROM A COMBINATION OF HER TRAUMA AS A GHOST AND THE ENSUING TRAUNA OF HER PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSIONIC AUGMENTATION (just done with Zerg rather than drugs), AND AS A RESULT MURDERS LITERAL MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS OF PEOPLE, GETTING NOT JUST A REDEMPTION ARC BUT LITERALLY BECOMING GOD????? THESE ARE THE NARRATIVE PRECEDENTS WE HAVE SET LIKE. EVEN IF (BIG FUCKING IF!!!!!) NOVA IS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR MURDER CAPABILITIES IT IS ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE TO DITCH ALL THE SPECTRES FULLY BECAUSE OF THEM WHEN DISTURBED TRAUMATIZED MURDERERS ARE LIKE HALF THE TERRAN ARMY FORCE AND ALSO ARE THE OTHER MAIN TERRAN CHARACTER LIKE WHAT. WHAT. WHAT. 
LIKE ON EVERY LEVEL – MORAL, EFFECTIVELY POLITICAL, NARRATIVE, CHARACTER CONSISTENCY – SIDING WITH TOSH IS OBJECTIVELY CORRECT. THIS IS A TEST AND IF YOU THINK SIDING WITH NOVA IS AN EVEN REMOTELY ACCEPTABLE OPTION YOU’VE FAILED (Blizzard, unsurprisingly, fails of course. This entire rant about how it should be obvious is not me saying it’s good it’s me saying I think Blizzard is fucking stupid for writing this and thinking they did something about complicated morality)

I like how my German teacher managed to make the entire class hate her. because that's not something that ever happened before. Literally every single person in our small group of 18 hates her guts. We all want her gone. I love that for us actually<3

i cannot for the life of me remember if i sent the ask i typed out when u replied so if u get two almost identical asks - no u didnt
first of all i lived by the sea my entire life, the air was not chewable enough and the lack of cancerous chemicals in the air bored me, air should be spicey
ah i've been late for the Mary lore 😔😔😔 tragic (but good for u no data should be given up willingly and for free)
(love ur shrimps they are adorable)
JFGHGFAJFNA Sorry Anon-Sibling I was swallowed by the real life. (Can you imagine that now that school year is ending some fucking idiots from my dziekanat suddenly was like to me, oh yeah btw in pażdziernik last year we added some more subjects to list of subjects you need to pass and yeah we send you that in email to that email you didnt even know you have and never bothered to check if you got that information or not, we dont care, oh you werent going on wykłady from that subjects cały semestr because you didnt you should.... lmao not our fault)
But its all good now :)
I love the "air wasnt chewable enough" it made me wheeze out loud, I imagine you with a saw just cutting a piece of air away and snacking on it like a character from Looney Toons
And lol you werent late for any lore that made me laught because i imagined myself as a character that you havent unlocked yet in video game, so have this edit of my photo
Tumblr media
I can share with you Lore whenever you want. Here we go:
I live through 8h shifts in work fantasising about mini indoor pond i want to make
I just accidently stole 160zł from my sister on various mochis
I am addicted to reactions wideo, because many of my friends dont share my likes, so watching somebody watch something i love and love it make me all giddy
I just hit 4600 hours in Elder Scrolls Online (God what I am doing)
I collect lots of things: feathers i find on my walks, special 5zł's, fossils, "dziękuję za zakup miłego czytania" cards that some people add when you buy books from them on olx, tattoo ideas i might get one day, and my most precious collection - Mangas :)
i love trashy romance novelas, the trashier the better
And yeah!! My shrimps are so so adorable! their tank is on my desk so i see them even now as i type, and they are soooo cute

This shit got me heated and reminded me why I stay away from people who also play this game but it also made me think again about Why the Ga/lean section of E/W was just more tone deaf apologism for me (and as I've learned, many others)
Also I am seeing people in the quotes using having a lot of empathy as an excuse to frame themselves as superior to others and implying ableism against those that have low empathy so that's another thing where I'm like shut the fuck up you're literally fucking arrogant for making that equivalency anyway- empathy level does NOT equal a person's value or moral value/humanity and ironically thinking it does shows you dehumanize others on prejudice, which you claim not to be doing because you're empathetic-
Tumblr media
Like I don't like this person actually I have them blocked on here and I forgot they were even on Twitter until I saw the people "dragging" this post but I agree with the essence of what op is saying- if you are ACTIVELY still being a piece of shit (And even if you're NOT because forgiveness is never OWED) No it is not an obligation on anyone to forgive you or suck your dick and not care how hurtful you're still being; it's dehumanizing, entitled, and victim blaming to tell someone they cannot be allowed to their feelings or defending themselves when met with prejudiced hate and violence
It's frustrating however seeing people turn how SE handled this into black and white self righteousness or obnoxious selfishness because I don't think anyone actually remembers how badly once again the ball was fumbled despite starting from a reasonable place, this is how I feel about it from what I remember explicitly because it made me angry to see a good thing ruined again by centrist ignorant nonsense:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is legitimately a good thing to help the helpless! It is and that is a noble first instinct to have and not everyone has to agree with it as Lyse says if the helpless at that moment was once or still is your oppressor! But people who rush to suck SE's corporate cock stop it at that fact, at the Idea That Is Included and refuse to examine The Execution of That Idea. Any idea can be included in anything, it's been done forever, but how you describe and show that idea is what speaks. And the execution on this serious topic as with others was deeply flawed and one sided. You cannot insist that people motivated by dehumanizing fascist hatred, giving themselves wholely to the duty of extermination for national interest and personal pride, to commit countless atrocities they don't even reflect on when it's given back to Them, who see anyone not of the Perfect Chosen Civilization/Race as animals, are simply misguided and misunderstood. People coming to you purposefully in bad faith, still being entitled to absolute forgiveness and acceptance.
The few people who are welcoming to you in Ga/lemald and those who just want to move on and not hate after the dust clears, who are not actively hateful and who are repentant, should be taken care of imo. And I appreciate that they were included. And I do find it disturbing in the thought exercise it represents to insist on slaughtering destitute people who want to break the cycle. Because they come in good faith. But looking at the actual campaign and dialogue it cannot CANNOT be denied that this same lens of acceptance/pity/woobying is also extended to those who continue to only see themselves as true human beings worthy of life. It cannot be ignored how quickly the implications and weight of the evil function of a soldier for an imperialist fascist empire is ignored with zero self reflection for the military's conquered victims. Particularly represented by the character of Julius, which I have seen other people rightfully call out as well, even some of his sympathizers. Instead the story suggests you must be a doormat for everyone no matter how they treat you without any dignity for yourself and others who are targeted. That we don't need to hold those who commit evil as accountable for what they did without blaming it on something else, some outside influence having total control rather than the fact of them choosing to be an inhumane instrument. That ignorance literally happens everyday in real life, just look at how many people truly trust in the idea of authority figures or soldiers and glamorize it. Often times hateful people in real life don't move out of or detach from one of their hateful groups because of a true change of heart, but rather out of convenience for their image, or because the hate group targeted them for some different part of their identity. But it doesn't nessesarily change that they still mindlessly hate X Population for baseless reasons.
These nuances are lost, the conversation in the game refuses to engage with the detail work and instead paints using a wide brush. Because it needs to appeal to making money. And also I saw someone in the Twitter thread saying "Well the girls who run away from you because you're a dirty savage to them (which they explicitly stated) were just scared, so you can't not feel bad when they die by their own actions." This is rhetoric I have seen white people use to defend the killing or harm of people of color in real cases. You don't call someone a slur, tell them they're subhuman, that you'd rather die than get help from an animal- and then brush it off as you being scared (how many cops/bigot gun owners shoot for no fucking reason at ALL and then say Well I had to take the shot they were threatening me, I was scared, they were endangering Me when they tried to get away or ask I stop or they were scared; how many times have Whites or other hateful strangers ever called you a slur or treated you unfairly because you're not White too or not part of their group and that makes them feel threatened, because you did nothing but exist, how many times do you experience discrimination and it gets turned around/used to gaslight you with Well you were scaring me so abusing you was justified etc). You see how the jump between this prejudiced rhetoric being justified in fictional thought experiments can mirror the same logic as a takeaway real already prejudiced people have viewing the story.
So no, under no circumstances do I find calling the Ga/lemald section of EW amazingly written something I can agree with, in fact I find it incredibly ignorant and then turning it into a soapbox to target dissenters as if they're inhuman for not getting it and using ableist language as well to help do so is appalling; nor do I agree with its most extremist of detractors, who deny it any positives simply for suggesting people want to help those who suffer even if they once wronged you. This is yet another case of the SE writer's room having no fucking idea how to write anything more complex than a toddler book about shapes or focused character stories with an actual nuanced sense of perspective. How every time they have a great or decent starting point on a broad heavy topic they can't find where to address the lines within it. And the rare times they do succeed at it it still amounts to clean corns in a big picture that's a pile of diarrhea shit. And they keep getting away with it because nobody wants to lift their head instead of indulging the rat race that is fighting each other.
