sorry, i know i've complained about this before but it is genuinely enraging seeing these outraged articles and youtube videos complaining about them raceswapping wonder man like. i am possibly the only person who's enough of a freak to be doing a second readthrough of all of simon's appearances, like i KNOW this man. i know him well.
so to see a bunch of random people suddenly get super pissed he's portrayed by a black man is insane bc like sorry, where were you when i was trying to get into him?! there was NO content online that i could find, fucking NONE. there was an inactive CBR thread, random reddit threads, and a tumblr blog that archived in 2013. there was no community, no network of fans, no proper reading list, very few in terms of actual content for this guy. like sorry if you care so much, why didn't i see you around scrubbing the backlog of deviantart and old tumblr blogs to find more content? why was the main youtube stuff i could find before the show was announced reuploads of EMH clips and homophobic cosplay vids??
like man. don't pretend like you care this is clearly and transparently an excuse to be racist and antiblack. simon being cast with an actual talented actor who can perform in both cape shit and a wide range of other genres is literally the best case scenario you guys are just weird and racist! grow up!

I got a terrible reminder how much older generations were brainwashed to think that they have to shut down any discomfort to keep working and take pride in that
I was waiting for mom to finish her MRI scan and this old lady prompted a chat with me, clearly distressed and with voice you could tell is on verge of tears. She was shaking from all the anxiety and distress.
she was visibly anxious and worried, the doctors and nurses didn't give her instructions that could help her understand but the nurses at this facility told her to sit and wait before they come back to explain to her along with needed papers
she assumed they basically left her hanging, just like they did on previous medical institutions, as she explained to me
she had terrible luck with both nurses and doctors who kept convincing her she's "fine and should not have come for the doctors appointment" while this woman went through three heart interventions and a hip surgery and is under distress because either her therapy was unclear or the checkups she still has to do
I listened and watched this woman get progressively redder in face from rising blood pressure because she was trying hard not to cry. I sat and calmly shared the general troubles we have with medical institutions nowadays and that, while perfectly valid to be upset, she should not allow them to make her health even worse with their lack of care and that she should look after herself
Then she started explaining how she feels bad bothering nurses and doctors at this point, as if it was her fault that she's ill. I suddenly flashbacked to my grandmother and mother from just few years ago
Like, no! It's their job to care, even if hypothetically she could be fine, it's their job to be there and ask how they can help even if she comes in and visits every single day
She told me she even got fired when she was 50 the firm bankrupted and no one was to hire anyone at her age so she had to push through the pension with works not fit for someone with her health, making it even worse over the years
Her distress and mentality of having to be quiet, take it in and just abide to her obviously mean doctor (who told her "I'm sure you won't die from that") and nurses who didn't want to bother with her made ME distressed. Because I HAVE seen this happen to my mom, I HAVE heard this happen to my family members and I KEEP HEARING that's just a norm now. Frustrating!
Luckily, as the nurse at this facility said, came back with papers, calmly explained to her where to go, what to do, wrote everything down and answered her further questions. She was so overjoyed and thankful she kept giving her thanks to this nurse, left outside, came back and thanked me for a chat and told me how much it meant to her at the moment. I was just waiting and killing time, a chat was welcome on my end as well but I got worried about this woman too.
When she left I just felt mad. I can't believe how much it all sounded like basically any of my older family members who just learned to be quiet and take the problems in, to push through and continue to somehow prove they're still fit to serve the society
I can't believe they still want to push this rhetoric down the throats of recent generations and it's so much easier for them to do because so many are struggling now
But they don't deserve that. Please, remember, you will thank yourself in the future. Don't let them think you're only fit to live in society if you can work and offer something to them...
