#its being run by racist idiots

[theweeklydiscourse]

My reasons for disliking the Shadow and Bone Netflix adaptations had very little to do with its “book accuracy” and had more to do with it being a terrible adaptation. In fact, I would’ve preferred if the writers had taken some liberties and revised certain flaws of the original trilogy to create a more compelling narrative.

However, they instead made superficial changes that added little to the value of the show and were bandaid solutions to deeper problems with the source material. They didn’t expand on the original story, they only narrowed the scope. This, was its ultimate flaw that ended up culminating in a watered down version of what we once knew.

For example, the rehabilitation of Mal’s image seemed agreeable initially, but harmed the story in the long-run. The writers understood that book!Mal was disliked, but instead of re-examining that character and expanding (and perhaps improving) his arc, they refashioned him into a boring and frictionless character that offered little to the emotional stakes of the story. This choice, was a prime example of the dilution of the characters and story for the adaptation that ended up creating a weaker experience altogether.

The girlbossification of Alina, the lobotomizing of the Darkling to make it easier for the heroes to defeat him, cramming the Crows into a plot that didn’t concern them, blaming Grisha persecution on the Darkling, making Zoya a racist/the Darkling’s side chick, all of those idiotic flashbacks, were symptomatic of the writers inability to take risks.

Monster Trio with a Black Girlfriend Headcanons (NSFW-ish)

A/N: this is like so long…like..wtf..

Luffy

our Brazilian King here would be the most fun to be with ngl. Being in a relationship with him is no different than being his friend really. The only difference is being a bit more touchy and protective.

He literally loves everything about you from your hair, shape, and just who you are as a person

He loves giving you his hat btw. Especially when you show off your natural hair

Speaking of natural hair…

Probably one of the funniest things that has happened in your relationship is when you take out your braids for the first time.

Ok picture this: Nami just announced it will be getting colder in the next few days as y’all set sail and it’s about that time you want to take out your braids and be natural while it’s cold.

So, You’re in your room as everyone is minding their business and Luffy barges tf in looking for you if you wanted to play tag.

Mf loses his mind seeing the braiding hair all over the place pls

“Y/N YOURE BALDINGGGGGG!!???”

“What? NO I AINT BALDING ITS FAKE HAIR!”

Pls calm this man down he is running all over the ship looking for Chopper

After a good kick from Sanji and Nami you drag him back to your room with your hair now half braided and half a fro to explain to Luffy that you’re not losing hair or balding it’s just fake extensions.

He’s still lost but he’s a good sport about it.

He actually sees your real hair for the first time, it was pretty short when you first met him but you stayed in braids for so long you managed to get a lot of new growth.

Luffy has sparkles in his eyes seeing how pretty and healthy it is(not in a weird way but seriously whether u had a TWA or long curly hair it was all pretty to him)

He also loves your thighs heh

Before you two dated Luffy was already close with you in friendship and very touchy too.

There have been many times you have just been chilling on the ship with Robin and Luffy comes in, put his hat on your head, and takes a quick nap on your lap.

You have gotten ALOT of spit in between your thighs due to this

Don’t worry he also makes a mess of your thighs when y’all are in bed together

Ok lemme put some angst:

We all know OP isn’t afraid to tackle issues like human trafficking and even racism so imagine you and Luffy are in a pretty bad town and encounter some rude racist mfs.

So you and Luffy are grabbing a bite to eat when two idiots in the restaurant come barging in demanding drinks.

The waitress tells them they’ll have to sit at a table but they seen you and Luffy sit at a booth and pointed

“Why don’t you get those two to give up their seats?…the boy and…that person…people like her don’t deserve to even sit in an establishment like this.” And the man had his thumb pointed back towards you.

His tone was so disgusted and to further insult he made his statement known LOUDLY that a girl like you shouldn’t be in a place like this.

“Excuse you?” You muttered looking at the two men in front of you and Luffy.

Luffy wasn’t dumb, he only found out recently after you both started dating the heavy racism people tend to have towards black people which caused Luffy to be a bit more over protective over you.

. Luffy did sit and watch the men’s movements and words, because he knew you could defend yourself, however racist idiots always managed to take it too far and then your sweet boyfriend jumps to action.

“What do you mean ‘a girl like me!?’”

“Do i have to spell it out for you?! YOU’RE A N—“

Immediate knock out.

Broken noses, ribs, you name it Luffy went tf off on them racist jackasses

Your hand barely touched your weapon before Luffy punched the daylights out of said man.

It was actually kind of hot because his hat was covering his eyes.

“Idiots.” Luffy grumbled walking out the restaurant . He took your hand and a piece of meat in the other hand mumbling something about them being bastards.

Long story short after Luffy tossed the men up and down the street so well you ended up giving him the OL sloppy toppy as a thank you that night.

Speaking of sloppy toppy let’s get into the NSFW part of your relationship:3

First off he has seen plenty of naked women. But yours is just better

He don’t know if it’s your shape not being the same as other girls or your skin or just the way you smell but he enjoys staring at your naked body and bending it im crazy positions as if you were made of rubber too during sex

You’re always more sore after one round of sex with him rather than actually fighting marines Sksjsksks

You of course initiated sex with Luffy first after a few months of dating and you were the one to take his virginity (he took yours as well). He was kinda awkward about it though because stuff like that wasn’t something he cared to do.

However, you both got into the oral sex part and goodness he fell in love with you after that.

Luffy has a huge oral fixation so he doesn’t mind going down on you

He actually likes it more than screwing you im sorryejsjhsjdsk

Not that it doesn’t feel good being inside you

Poor boy started crying and moaning so loudly cuming inside you for the first time

It’s just you have a very interesting and addictive taste

His words not mine

He also really likes staring at your pussy Abseiskjdhdj NO JUST HEAR ME THOUGH—

Like when he is eating you out sometimes he just stares at how his tongue is rolling and lapping up your clit he forgets that you probably came at least 2 times :((((

It’s just so nice to look at to him especially if you have a fatter ….cat.

Loves burying his face in your neck pls.

You smell like shea butter and cinnamon the man is so addicted to your smell.

I feel like Luffy doesn’t have a favorite body part your thighs

But he loves rubbing his cock between your thighs as you both sleep .

Literally they’re so soft and warm especially after taking a bath.

Speaking of baths you managed to get him to take more baths

ONLY IF you take one with him.

Usually ends with him screwing you in the tub and y’all get more dirty than clean sksjsjsjs

All in all he loves you sm

Sanji

This man deserved the best head ever omg.

Luckily he has you and your beautiful lips<3

Ngl Sanji is the type of dude to call you his “Black Queen” IM SO SORTEUEKDJSJ

Literally any corny black girl “compliment he can think of he’d say it to you.

“Y/NNNNN MY BEAUTIFUL EBONY PRINCESS I MADE YOU SOME TEA!”

:(….hes trying.

None the less you being his first official girlfriend actually was more work than you thought.

Yes he’s very charming, sweet, honest, giving etcetc but his jealousy sometimes wears you out.

Anytime you two go out together and another man drools—let alone comments your looks Sanji’s already lifting his foot .

He didn’t believe you actually liked him back at first :(((((

Poor baby, he has trust issues. Pls give him all your attention.

It doesn’t take long though for him to accept you actually do love him just as much (if not more) as he loves you.

Said “I love you” on the first date

Threw you off completely, but it was so sweet and quick so you said it back.

A few of your love languages with each other is most definitely quality time and acts of service.

When there is an off day with the crew you and Sanji spend the day cooking meals you grew up with

I.E. whether it’s from your culture (like Nigerian food) OORRR simple soul food baby he is ganna FLIP. Especially if you cook it for him to try!

“Okay so this is Mac and cheese, fried chicken, greens, & corn bread. I didn’t make a whole lot because I wasn’t sure—Sanji?”

His whole world is rocked.

The seasonings, the flavor, the texture, everything that you just cooked was something he will put on his “new favorite food list”

“PRINCESS THIS IS SO DELICIOUS I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU COOK SO WELL!”

He asked to marry you.

He ask to marry you at least once a day

That’s actually how y’all started dating heheh

When he first met you, you were actually intimidating to him but not in a bad way SKSJSJS

He still fawned and drooled over you, but you nearly thought he didn’t find you attractive because even when you joined his heart eyes was still on Nami more than you.

Even after Robin joined after you he seemed to stir his attention to the two girls more than you.

Granted you felt like it was probably because you weren’t his type, you didn’t have those girl’s shape(for example if you’re pear shaped) your hair wasn’t like theirs, and you were a bit more of a tomboy than anything so it made you feel a bit insecure.

Or maybe the mf didn’t like black girls who knows KSHSHSJS

Complete opposite tho this man is a whore for black women

It only annoyed you because somehow you’ve grown a crush on the idiot.

However all those things were the reason why Sanji felt so intimidated + you’re incredibly strong willed and ain’t afraid to speak your mind and that’s what made you so much more attractive to him than another other woman he met.

And you do so one night while Sanji cleans up the kitchen.

You knew this was a bad idea, a bit cringe, and out of character but the curiosity was eating at you and you knew if you didn’t ask right then and there you may as well just get over your crush with him; “How come you don’t like me?” You said without a care in the world leaning on the door frame arms crossed pouting, Sanji recognized your voice and felt his soul drop a little hearing your crazy question.

“Don’t… Like …you?”

“You heard me. It’s not like I’m jealous or anything (you were) but…I don’t know it seems like when I want to hang out with you, you seem to be more interested in Robin or Nami to be around…I know I don’t wear dresses a lot or skirts…and I’m a bit rough around the edges but …as your crew mate…AND FRIEND…I…um….I…”

You didn’t even hear Sanji approach you so closely as your tangent was going on with your eyes not meeting his. He felt so bad making YOU feel bad.

He grabbed your hand rubbing the palm of it with his thumb.

“I’m…im so sorry, Princess i—I um…”

Que the dramatic music

“I AM SO SORRY M’LADY! YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THE QUEEN YOU ARE I CANT BELIEVE I MADE YOU FEEL SO ABANDONED BY YOUR PRINCE! PLEASE FORGIVE ME—MATTER OF FACT NO DONT FORGIVE ME I DONT DESERVE IT!”

“Sanji..”

“I PROMISE TO NEVER HURT YOU AGAIN—“

“Sanji…”

“I’LL DO YOUR LAUNDRY, COOK ALL YOUR FAVORITE MEALS, ANYTHING TO—“

You actually found it amusing seeing how much of a drama queen he was asking for you not to forgive him, and you’re a big softie for him so to shut him up you grabbed him by his nape and kissed him.

His lips were so soft omg

“Marry me.”

“HUH?!”

And that’s how I met your mother

Ok we finna get spicy over here

Sanji is a boob man. We know this. And because of this he loves seeing your boobs ALOT.

“They’re like chocolate kisses.”

You nearly started crying from laughter when you let Sanji fondle your chest.

“Do not say that again will slap you—AH!”

Too late Sanji popped a whole titty in his mouth.

Ngl after a few months of dating and gaining each others trust he started to become a bit OOC.

Meaning….in the bed.

At first he’d ask you repeatedly if you felt good having sex with him, but now that he knows your body…well..

“R-Right right there San—-JI YES!”

“I know baby I know..”

Tf this boldness come from

Ok so you took his virginity too. It was just a Process because Sanji kept bleeding on you.

Had to use a blindfold on him which really had him cuming in seconds.

He sometimes moans in French.

Maam…

He moans in French in your ear and you slowly grind on his cock

“S-SA—-“

“Tu te sens si bien sur ma bite”

HOHOOO I GATTA MAKE A SHORT DRABBLE OF THIS

You find his French accent so sexy

Cocky bastard knows it too so if you are acting like a bit of a brat he whispers in your ear some of the dirtiest things he wants to do to your body in French

You don’t even know what he’s saying it just sounds hot KabsjsKSBSKS

Sanji most definitely loves to finger you.

Great past time when you both are alone and you wear a short dress or skirt

Your pussy>>>>>>>>>>>>life is his whole mentality being with you in bed.

When it’s your hair wash day Sanji always invites himself to help you, but it always starts off with him helping washing your hair, then once he rises it he begins kissing your shoulder, then your spine and then next thing you know he lifting your pretty brown thigh on his shoulder kissing and eating your pussy under the hot shower head <3

He keeps those days marked on his calendar SKSJSJ

Zoro

I told y’all he wasn’t racist

Mf is a simp for black and Latina women too he just won’t admit it fr.

This mf here..

He mf adores and can’t stand you all at the same time

Seriously your little smart remarks is ganna be the death of him.

Zoro actually loves a feisty/strong woman. He’s usually around the girly girl types plenty but seeing a woman that isn’t afraid of fighting grown men 10x her size is what led Zoro to pursue you

However he didn’t know he had a crush on you you were the one to get it out of him💀💀

“Why don’t you admit you like me already? We could have been dating like…a week after I joined y’all.”

“What?! I don’t— !”

“You’re literally cuddling me, Zo…”

When you first joined shortly before Chopper you both automatically had a love/hate relationship.

You were a gunslinger and he was a swordsman there were plenty of debates on which was better

“At least I can still fight if I run out of bullets..”

“At LeAsT I DonT RuN ou—-shut up! If it came down to it and we ended up fighting I’ll whoop you so disrespectfully boy..”

“YOU WHAT?!”

Me and Mrs. Petty everyone <3

You both tend to argue a lot but it’s stupid arguments that you start because you love annoying him.

And he knows this.

Zoro also likes patting your butt

It’s never sexual—you’re the sexual being in the relationship (we’ll get to that later)

But Zoro loves your fat butt.

Literally. The man is a butt man.

The way you sway your hips when you walk and how your butt effortlessly moves has him staring for way longer than he should.

And you know this.

However he usually pats your butt to get your attention

“Common we head to head to the ship.” He stated in your ear walking past you giving your bum a light slap and slowly dragging away said hand off your bum.

It turns you on sm pls

Loves to nap on your tummy

Looks like a grumpy baby with his strong arms around you and his face slightly tucked in with his eyebrows furrowed

He usually lift up your shirt to have skin to skin contact

Sniffs your hair a lot

Don’t know why he does it but sometimes when he’s standing behind you he just lowers his head and does a subtle whiff

You don’t question it….you kinda wanna though.

He lets you hold and use his swords

You have threatened him with it…many times.

Also if you have a TWA(or any natural hairstyle really) or like finger waves of the sort he friggin loves that. Whenever he’s holding you he tends to run his rough fingers through your curls and sometimes helps pull out any kinks he may randomly find

You woke up to him one time eyes completely focused on a tangled curl you had

It was so cute

“Zo—-?”

“Lay back down im not finished.” He pushed your head back down gently still taking out the curl.

Despite that Zoro really has no clue on how to be a proper boyfriend sometimes so you have to teach him.

A lot.

“Why would you randomly want flowers where would you put them?”

“ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS YOU ASS.”

He’s trying.

Y’all never go on proper dates though.

Zoro doesn’t think it’s necessary, you both spend a lot of time together training or when you dock on a ship.

However if you REALLY wanna go on a date he’ll take you.

Ended up in a mess.

You both got lost.

Zoro was fighting random pirates

You shot a guy

Y’all fell down a hill because Zoro slipped and grabbed your arm

Never again

His dick makes up for all his stupidity though

Okay don’t get mad…

But I don’t think Zoro is as great with sex as y’all say he is OKAY JUST LISTEN TO MEJDJDDKSKS

I do believe he can LEARN HE IS A GOOD AND FASTER LEARNER

But it took so long because he’s so easily flustered.

Just like Sanji and Luffy he was a virgin and you had a bit more experience.

You went down on him first and he was actually more embarrassed than turned on KSBSJDKS

But he just felt weird seeing you in between his legs damn near gagging on his cock. You liked it though.

“Are —-are you okay?”

“Mmhm. Why does it not feel good?” :(

“No ! I mean yes! IT DOES! DAMMIT YES YOUR MOUTH FEELS GOOD!—“

When Zoro first slid inside you you swore his eyes rolled back and he swears you were just seeing things.

“Feel good don’t it.”

“Shut the hell up.”

No but after the 2 years he definitely got much better and bigger

He knows how to read your faces on what hurts and what feels good and it’s honestly something he pats himself on the back for.

He loves it when you sit on his face btw.

You’re thick, he’s thick , and he loves your thickness so sit on his thick head. Both of em

Remember how I said you were the more horny one of the relationship?

Not true he is but you’re more vocal about it.

“Zoooooo….I wanna sit on your face.”

Man nearly drops his dumbbells on his foot.

“What is wrong with you?!” Literally been craving to eat you out all day since he had a dream about it this morning though.

His tongue…..

Whew

My mans is a messy eater

VERY MESSY AND AGGRESSIVE TOO

You like how he manhandles you so it’s not a big deal but if anyone were to see him eat you out they’d think he’s literally EATING YOU

He loves holding you up on his shoulder to eat you out btw

You’ve been caught once by Usopp in the aquarium with you back high on the wall and him sucking your clit

Us couldn’t speak to you for weeks

Zoro didn’t give af

Ok he did a little because his dick was out

Amazing bf.

[ca-suffit]

It's so annoying when Nalyra and this book group use excuses like this as if we're all dumb. There's lots of people who talk about the books and the show without being racist about it. The deeper issue here is not because people haven't read the books and think what you're saying is shocking.... What's really happening is that this group of BFFs loves to remove all mention of race from everything. They love pretending you can just overlay the books to the AMC show and it's a perfect match. Then, when anyone mentions how important it is to factor in race when discussing these things, here comes the screaming victimhood and all the "it's what's in the book" gifs. The "I'm sorry you just can't handle gothic literature SWEETIE" attitudes that are v tiring. Any race can be racist too (isn't that this group's favorite line too, they should know....) and only care for the wellbeing of white fandom, so these brown emojis or black fans who will make callout lists on other black fans under the language of calling out "fandom issues" or "antis" aren't fooling anyone to what the real motivation is behind it. People who worship Anne Rice are always going to be airheads who can't take criticism because look at your girl and all she was ever doing. Any adult who wants to defend her or the books is not a critical thinker or an intellectual. It's v possible to discuss her and the books without the stan goggles on. The black fans this group is always sneering at do it all the time. That's probably where the real issue lies, because it's done much better than the horseshit fanon Nalyra, Virgnia, and the rest are slinging and thinking is epic meta or something. I lurked for a long time before coming here to start pointing this out. I've seen these egos get bigger since the show has been off the air and book people crawled out from the depths to try and tell everyone "what's going to happen." It's a stupid power trip and nothing else. This group doesn't have the ability to analyze anything like they think they do, so they've grown together since the show stopped airing to start harassing other fans and pretend they're the victims just because they don't think talking about race is important in their....erm...."analysis" lol. They only think they have power because the fandom became smaller when S1 ended. They're gonna be muted again when it comes back because they aren't keeping up with the themes of the show and their takes aren't interesting. Saying the white man is always innocent, the black man is lying, the brown man is manipulative is what society already does. It's boring and it's not what the show has shown us in its own canon that it's doing. This group and white fandom in general love to take an inch and run a mile with it. Whenever anyone (but especially Jacob) mentions Louis might be a liar or an unreliable narrator they're jumping on the chance to spread that statement over every part of the story. They want so much for all of it not to be true because they need Lestat to be the good guy. They always claim they love stories about monsters except their favorite white guy can't even stay a monster for them to adore him. He can't ever even be any kind of fuck up and grow from it, he's just supposed to immediately be perfect. What's the point of the story then ffs? This is why you need to read other books that aren't written by idiot, egomaniacal authors who don't have editors and are in love with their own creations. If you always find a way to excuse the white characters, say all the black and brown characters are the unreliable, scheming ones, and scream and yell "it's what's in the books" whenever anyone reminds you to notice race......then you're just racist, girl. It's not even a mystery lol so stop this crap like you're fooling anyone. You can be as loud as you want but it doesn't mean you're actually a victim of anything but your own racist stupidity. Just because Anne Rice didn't get as much pushback as she deserved in her dumb life doesn't mean you're going to get the same treatment. It's 2024, bitch.

[grimescum-2]

quick collection of head canons for funsies :o3 i dont know if i've mentioned any of these before or not but oh well

- i think anderson would be the kind of guy to absolutely melt into any physical affection. like, imagine this big tall dude leaning down so u can hold his big ol face in yr hands

- i am going to preach about kittycoded anderson until the day i die. it literally makes so much sense he and alucard fight like cats and dogs

- anderson prays before he eats anything. if you eat over at his house u best believe he wants you to join him (he respects if you don't do that but why would u not want to? literally free opportunity to hold his hand) sourced from my christian ass family

- "jesus christ" "DON'T use the lords name in vain"

- walter tries to be modest with physical affection so he wouldn't really know what to do at first . i think he'd def prefer verbal affection, praise, stuff like that

- walter is naturally particular about details. perfectionist that won't stop until he gets it right, includes basic tasks like cleaning and cooking

- walter is homophobic /j /j /one of my friends said he looked racist and homophobic in the first anime

- although not really a music person, i think walter's fave genre would be swing or jazz. he was born back then right??$? i did the math at some point but i forgot

- i've said this before but I'll say it again for this post, walter def puts a lot of care into his appearance. probably has some kind of skincare routine. the bitch

- walter enjoys watching old black and white movies in his free time. def one of those old people who complain about modern technology and the newer generation. much less obnoxious about it though

- if you gave walter a phone and told him to open settings he would explode. if he called u successfully without breaking it he'd be all like "i did it :D!! i pressed ONE button!!" then proceeds to accidentally call you all the time

- walter takes forever to type, signs his text messages and though he uses proper grammar he has occasional spelling errors because he has no clue what he's doing

- seras uses emojis often + a lot of exclamation marks, occasional run on sentence. if integra texts at all it's always perfectly grammatically correct or, like, 1-2 sentences. if not a singular word. i'm weird abt how alucard would text because i really think he'd say shit like lol lmao w basic grammar (punctuation and shit) but also ehhh??

- "have you seen my monocle i cant find it" "its on your face" "Oh"

- walter hates being publicly embarrassed. gets red in the face really quickly

- i dont think alucard has a favorite genre of music but still enjoys seeing what people come up with. i do think he'd have a preference for alternative or experimental music

- alucard is the epitome of adhd in my mind because i imagine he's always bored and up to fucking something. he'll come into integra's room and stand around like an idiot until he realizes he forgot what he came there for and leaves. talks and laughs to himself like a WEIRDO

- being alive for so long i think alucard would've tried everything at least once. now hes bored of it all and doesn't really have any hobbies aside from stalking people

- alucard also melts into any physical affection but i think he'd be the kinda guy to physically grab your arm and put it around him or something

- i dont know if he would exactly but imo he'd at least think about putting a bunch of random shit in his mouth. imagine u give him a flower or something and he leans down and eats it

#flea.talks #hellsingposting #projected my adhd onto alucard just a smidge #hellsing

Twilight Clown Takes—Part 5

Featuring not only fan dumb but anti fan dumb, which is arguably worse, Team Jacob dumb, and just another whole set of clownery. Without further ado, let’s get to it.

Anti Fan Dumb

“I own all the Twilight books and movies and have made custom T-shirts but also Twilight is garbage and it’s not hypocritical or bullying to say so!!1!!1 😡”

(Also, Twilight’s themes and even plot are anything but simple. There are so many interpretive lens you could apply, even critical lit crit ones, it’s dizzying. Like R&J, it only seems to be that way because people assume romance = dumb. Because they think romance = women, and women are inferior. It’s Sexism 101.)

This is going to sound truly crazy, but hear me out…if you don’t like something, just don’t engage with it? Ignore it???? Go be a fan of literally anything else????Out there, I know.

“I got what I wanted and I still hated it!!1!!11 😡”

Meyer Is Racist Round ♾️

…You know, I honestly can’t tell what this comment is supposed to aver. “Meyer’s portrayal is racist but also her series was ahead of its time in its portrayal of NA characters”????? Idek.

Anyway, it’s canon that Forks is neutral territory for both Cullens and the werewolves, so them looking after Charlie should be fine (I know Jacob says differently in New Moon but I have a feeling it is because of Alice’s presence—there is definitely a “we won’t be anywhere near you” component to the treaty). In Midnight Sun Edward says specifically it’s a five mile radius from the Cullens’ house.

There are so much wrong with this one sentence, it’s breathtaking. As in, I can’t breathe from choking with laughter.

1) “Despite its”—Because of, you idiot. It was Meyer’s success in tapping into ancient and nigh universal tropes and modernizing them without diluting their power.

2) Just because Twilight doesn’t have sex doesn’t mean it is chaste. There is nothing chaste about the erotic and sexual tension Meyer builds. It is literally off the charts.

3) “Forbidden love” and “steep imbalance of power” are not opposites. On the contrary, they are complementary. Literally every forbidden love romance has that aspect. Even Romeo and Juliet with its beautiful relationship of equals has Romeo’s privilege raised as male vs. Juliet’s raised as female. And yes, it does affect their tragedy.

4) “Damsel—” She is a human amid vampires and werwolves, idiot. Of course she is not going to girlboss her way out of danger. That would have been a one-way ticket to literal death. And she would have deserved it, for being too stupid to live. But Bella is not an idiot; she has more wit in her elbow than any of her antis combined.

Team Jacob Dumb

Ugh, kill this fanon with fire.

Meyer makes it clear that Bella is not attracted to all vampires the same way she is attracted to Edward. She isn’t taken in by James, she isn’t fooled by Laurent, and the vampires in Breaking Dawn are referred to in fairly basic terms. Even the way she describes the Cullens’ beauty differs—Carlisle’s and even Rosalie’s beauty (!!) she likens to Hollywood and Sports Magazine respectively. Very clichéd and emotionally empty descriptions. Most tellingly of all, she doesn’t describe other vampiric scents at all.

Meanwhile every little thing Edward does makes this girl cream. His voice, his scent, his crooked smile, his windswept bronze hair…because she’s in love with him, duh.

You may have had a point some years ago, Clown OP. Unfortunately for you, we now have Midnight Sun. There Edward does correctly guess Bella’s thoughts and feelings around 80-90% of the time. The only time when he’s consistently off is her attraction to him. He, like Bella, just sells himself short, as he relies on his mind reading too much.

Even if it were true that Jacob just naturally gets Bella better…in actual practice it’s mostly due to the fact that they are much closer in age. So their brand of humor (the running joke about ages, banter, the Simpsons allusion in Breaking Dawn) and style of communication are not that different (hence why Bella thinks he is so easy to talk to). Bella can truly be a regular 17-year-old with Jacob, and that is understandably attractive for a parentified teen.

Aside from that, though, Bella/Jacob don’t have much in common. Bella’s tomboyishness begins and ends with her truck and stretches to its limit to motorcycles. Otherwise she is a parentified class-conscious bookish Austenite and Jacob is your basic mechanic native boy who by all accounts is perfectly fine at the rez. He takes care of his father, but his situation is far from being as parentified as Bella.

Overall Edward is much closer to Bella in personality and likes than Jacob—he just has the disadvantage of being born in a different time and living a hundred years. Also, Jacob’s understanding of Bella doesn’t translate very well into respect for her—see forced kiss and manipulative second kiss.

Edward Hate Dumb

…I’ll give it to this one, this clownery almost sounds like a legit criticism. Almost.

First of all, it is clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that Edward would have never given up on Bella. Even when he left her he always planned to return and see how she was doing. In Midnight Sun he confesses that had he seen New Moon!Bella in her screaming nightmares he would have woken her up and stayed with her. And in Eclipse he tells Jacob explicitly that even if Bella did choose him he would always “be waiting in the wings,” seeing if she was okay and happy and watching out if Jacob imprinted on someone else.

So no, Edward would always be there for Bella, if just in his stalkerish way. That’s the problem with Edward, or what he feels is a problem: He wants to be this noble hero, but he is a simp at heart. He and Romeo could go neck to neck just on love clownery alone.

For fuck’s sake—

1) Edward telling Bella he cannot live without her is not and never was manipulative. For such a thing to be manipulative he would have said it in order to convince Bella to stay with him. He never does; he says it only as a simple statement of fact. Actually, Edward preferred Bella living her life as human—with or without him—so long as she is happy. That was literally his original plan except for Bella’s horror of growing older.

2) Edward actually does accept—deep down, but he does—Bella’s desire to be a vampire, even if he disagreed with it. He even accepted his family’s vote to turn Bella into a vampire quite fast. That’s because deep down, despite himself…Edward actually does want Bella to be with him forever. He just thinks it’s selfish of him to pursue that especially when he believes that humanity would be so much better for Bella. How do we know this? He admits this explicitly in Eclipse when Bella says she is afraid Edward doesn’t want her to become a vampire because he doesn’t want her to stick around for a millennia.

3) “Coercion” For fuck’s sake, it was just a proposal. Bella was free to reject it or negotiate (which she did! And Edward accepted her rejection!). Y’know, what actual irl couples do.

4) Ugh, I’m sick of these clowns whining about Edward dismantling her truck. Yes, it was shitty!!! Bella was annoyed and angry!!! He apologized for it!!! He said he was wrong to stop her and would not impede her from going to La Push from then on!!!! It’s called character development!!!!

Clown OP knows Twilight is horribly written because they’ve never read it. Works for me! Into the clownery bin you go.

#twilight clown takes #twilight clownery #anti anti twilight #preserve me #team jacob dumb #edward hate dumb #🤝 romeo hate dumb tbh #bella hate dumb is still the strongest tho #for obvious reasons

I had watched Velma (for free cause I aint helping them get views) and theres this trend I hate. That's when they make the white people idiots & always insult them. I'm black and I find that offensive. There's a way to make fun of everybody in a smart way (In Living Color is a great example) but these modern shows are just hateful or not funny or both. They just want to trigger ppl without any kind of positive message.

And I can't be mad at only the ppl who write the shows. The companies who allow it and advertisement and ones who distribute it are at fault too. And when you look at the history of propaganda, I'm pretty sure this is intentional. The United States makes money off of ravial division. This is why we dont have shows like Weekenders, Statick Shock, Doug, Hey Arnold, Xaolin Showdown, Totally Spies, Darkwing Duck, Recess, El Tigre, 6teen, original Teen Titans, Justice League, Kim Possible, The Proud Family (original not the new one), Jackie Chan Adventures, or other shows like that anymore. Those shows brought too many different ppl together. Racial division is profitable but also useful in controlling the minds of the ignorant. And behind it all is politics. One side complains about this while the other complains about that. Then both sides make a profit while controlling the masses through artificial hate.

I wish we could go back to shows that had positive portrayals of all races & both sexes. A group of friends of different races with both guys and girls just happily hanging out and dealing with everyday struggles and how to overcome them with help from your friends. Cause this modern stuff just makes everyone hate each other.

I want shows like Statick Shock where Virgil finds out that his best friend Richie has a racist dad & it upsets Richie so much that he runs away from home. And the dads of both have to work together to find Richie as Richie's dad learns he is misjudging others. And episodes later, Richie's dad is friendly with Virgil and his dad.

Or how in Teen Titans, Starfire was being called a troq by a "heroic" racist. Then Cyborg thinks its just a nickname and calls Starfire that and she gets upset. Then after Cyborg finds out, he says he can relate because he's half cyborg (subtext is that he can relate because he's black). Then all of her friends stand by her and give the cold shoulder to that guy who called her that slur. They weren't gonna put up with that.

Or even in oG SpongeBob when they say Sandy can't do stuff they can because she's a squirrel while they say "sea creatures rule!" That episodes teaches a lesson about both racism and sexism. Sandy is the only girl against a group of guys who thing they are better. Sandy is from a different group of people against a group of water people who thing they are better. Sandy thinks she's better too. Then in the end, they give the lesson that nobody is good at everything and they should value the differneces and what the other person is good at as they apologize to each other.

We peaked in the 90's and 2000's. Sadly, I think its all downhill from there now. Not just with TV shows, but with music and everything else. The good things we get nowadays are just leftovers from a better time that didn't over politicize race, sex, gender, religion, and policital leaning as they do now. Respect is lacking. All ppl want to do is trigger someone. What kind of society is that?

A Long, Unnecessary Love Letter to Comic Books

I’ve gotten way the fuck into comics lately, ranging from weird titles from publishers I’m pretty sure are defunct (Solar, Man of the Atom follows the ongoing adventures of an energy being whose origin story includes accidentally destroying his own timeline) to unsettling little horror tales (Gaiman’s Likely Stories disturbed me to the point of feeling physically ill once or twice) to big, bombastic superhero fair (just give me anything with Batman). It’s particularly this last category that I want to focus on, because it was while reading the 2018-onwards run of Justice League that I realised why I’ve been getting so into comics at the moment. They’re currently filling the niche that film used to fill.

You see, folks, I have a little problem when I go and see most films nowadays. The problem is very simple. While I still enjoy movies, that enjoyment is somewhat marred by the fact that NINETY PERCENT OF THE TIME I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING TO HAPPEN! I’m a progressive chap- I’m a commie, a sometime-advocate for fat acceptance (obvs) and I’m viscerally disgusted every time I hear about some fresh injustice perpetrated against non-white ethnic groups by the racist-as-shit American legal system. I’d never call myself a feminist, but I accept that feminism has a point in terms of its broad complaints and aims (I part company from both rad and third wave on a fair number of specifics, but that’s probably just because of my nine foot musical penis). And yet, as most of you already know from my previous spates of bitching and moaning, media wokeness winds me up. It’s not just that it’s obviously insincere and designed to curry favour with an imaginary demographic of humourless wankers- it’s that it also hobbles any story’s ability to surprise or engage meaningfully with its own fictional universe. Give me a list of characters and tell me nothing about them besides skin colour, age and gender, and I’ll tell you who’s going to live, who’s going to die, who’ll be permitted a redemption arc, and who’ll turn out to be a ‘twist’ villain (and I use the term ‘twist’ with heavy-duty sarcasm marks). It’s cloying, constrictive and a death sentence for any kind of creativity. It’s gotten so bad that, whenever a movie does manage to pleasantly surprise me, I have to fight back tears of fucking gratitude. Progressive values are all well and good- I actively subscribe to them myself every time I go out and assassinate a member of the fucking Tory party- but modern movies and telly don’t operate from a place of deeply-held progressive values (or any values). The mainstream media’s ‘wokeness’ is just a tired list of boring tropes that cowardly, talentless screenwriters cling to lest creating something original engender cancellation.

And so, we come to comic books (and on comic books, if they have General Zod in them. Kneel before Zod? I certainly fucking will!). I was about type the words ‘even mainstream comic books are great’ but then I started laughing like the Joker watching a snuff movie, because that would have been an idiotic sentence. You see, while Superhero comics are ‘mainstream’ in the sense that they’re the thing people most associate with the medium, they still have a relatively tiny readership. In fact, I suspect that requiring their audience to know how to read is the main barrier to entry nowadays- it seems like something of a lost art.

The point is that I’ve been reading the ‘Justice/Doom War’ arc in Justice League and I’ve noticed something about it. It has a huge, diverse cast of characters from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, different genders and different belief systems and walks of life… and not even one of them is an insufferable twat defined only by their relative privilege or oppression! To give you an example, Green Lantern John Stewart is a heroic space cop who happens to be black, but the plot never grinds to a halt so he can give us a lecture on race dynamics in modern America. He’s too busy using constructs of solid light to smash the ever-loving crap out of pan-dimensional cosmic monsters. When the plot does slow down to give him time to breathe, we learn more about his conflicted yet complementary history as both a soldier and an architect than we do about his skin colour. I mean, it’s not like it never comes up- the DC universe has some ties to reality and characters do occasionally find themselves on the receiving end of racism, but if it’s not relevant to what’s happening, the story doesn’t bend over backwards to include it. Conversely, Batman is a rich white dude, but the story never feels the need to ‘hold him accountable’. His main arc at the moment is about learning to be a good father figure to a sentient, telepathic starfish who wants to be the next Robin (yeah… the 2018 run is gloriously fucking weird). Hey! Here’s another example! On the surface, Hawkgirl is the epitome of the ‘strong female character’ beloved by modern media: a ferocious, take-no-shit warrior woman with countless lifetimes of carefully-honed experience. But she’s not some bloody sexless, characterless archetype designed as a flag for empowerment rather than a person: she’s a fully-developed character. She has complex internal motivations; she has romantic feelings for Martian Manhunter; she experiences grief and loss and is changed by them; she makes mistakes that she then has to triumph over. She doesn’t get to win just because she’s the first person on hand with a clitoris- she actually has to work and go through a character arc. Surprising and sometimes unpleasant things happen to her, making her a sympathetic and interesting character who I actually want to see triumph.

I could go on… and on… and on… and on… pretty much forever. I could probably write an entire essay just on how Lex Luthor uses his wealth for selfish ends even while purporting to represent a higher cause while Batman embodies an idealised version of how those with power and money should use it for the greater good. I could talk about how Superman is both effectively an immigrant and the most endearingly Rockwellian slice of walking Americana one can imagine. I could write fucking books on what the character of Perpetua says about the modern world’s complex relationship with faith and fanaticism and where the line is drawn.

But the real point is that I don’t know what’s going to happen next! Character who would never be allowed to triumph under their own power in movies succeed. Characters who would never be allowed to fail in movies get broken by horrible events and circumstances. Arcs are never what I expect them to be about, but always make sense when I look back and consider what I know about the character’s personality. It’s wonderfully refreshing in a way we just don’t get to see much nowadays… and I started to wonder why comics are so much better than everything else going on at the moment.

I was recently reading an Editorial in Metal Hurlant (basically the French 2000AD- a comic anthology of sci-fi and horror tales published on a monthly basis). The top brass were bemoaning the niche-ness of the comic book medium, asserting that comics should be promoted in bookstores and literary circles; that there should be a widespread push for them to reach a readership and audience that traditionally don’t engage with pulp culture (my term, not theirs). And what I realised is that this would be a terrible, terrible idea- because the main reason comics are so good is because they’re niche; their small; their disposable. Consider, if you will, the mainstream film industry. A big part of the reason that it mainly produces hot garbage is that it’s too big to take risks. Hollywood (for want of a better catch-all term) has spent its entire life-cycle pursuing larger and larger audiences so it can fund more and more epic blockbusters with bigger names and bigger, bolder FX. It’s a cycle of abuse in which each new generation of films has to outperform the generation before it. Meanwhile, because the audiences have to be so vast, the people making the flicks don’t think of those audiences as individual people with specific interests and ideas and a desire to be challenged and entertained. They think of them, instead, as demographic swathes; undifferentiated and united by broad, base commonalities that each project has to play to. But people aren’t demographics and the movie industry is currently getting a royal drubbing for its decades of ever-increasing contempt-of-the-viwer. Disney in particular is haemorrhaging money because it thought it would be a good idea to make Star Wars and Indiana Jones films and telly shows for a generic set of imagined demographics instead of people who actually like those franchises and are interested in the themes and ideas that go with them. As much as watching Disney fail gives me the warm fuzzies, I have to ask: who in their right mind would wish this fate on comics?

You see, folks, comics do sell plenty of copies- more than enough to justify the fairly modest expense of printing the darned things) but the overall audience for any one title is less than half the audience for any given major film release (I did some research and applied some maths that I won’t bore you with, but the absolute top selling comic books of recent years sold under a quarter million copies overall while an average film from any of the major studios sells around half a million cinema tickets in the US alone- and then there are the DVD and streaming sales on top of that. Notice how the latter number is more than double the former number. Regrettably, data on both films and comics is jealously guarded by vested interests, so I apologise for how ballpark those figures are, mind). Meanwhile the total audience of comics in general is much narrower in certain key respects. Perhaps the most obvious point is this: pretty much everyone who reads comic books is a comic book fan, whereas not everyone who goes to the cinema is a cinephile. But what does that actually mean? Well, for one, it means that comic book readers and writers are more of community- they tend to trust one another more; leaps can be taken that would be considered too chancy when dealing with ‘demographics’. At the same time, however, the writers’ connection to the fans means they have a better sense of when something is going to alienate large sections of their audience or piss people off (something film-makers have proved either bad at or wilfully blind to lately). The result is stories that know what bold ideas they can pursue while also knowing where to draw the line.

I think another reason comics are currently kicking the film industry’s pallid white buttocks in terms of creative merit is that they’re real cheap. Paper on ink is much easier to organise and send forth into the world than a vast audiovisual experience containing hundreds of actors, countless FX and goodness-knows-how-many extras, all put together by an enormous team of people who often never get to meet one another. If I wanted, I could probably write, draw and distribute a limited run of say, fifty comics, for the price of a Payday Loan. I wouldn’t, because it’s not where my talent lies, but the point I’m trying to make is this: companies and distributors are more willing to do interesting things when there’s only pocket change on the line compared to when there’s millions or billions of dollars. It’s why we get comics like Serial Artist (about a dude who claims his paintings are of his murder victims and becomes the centre of a vast government conspiracy) and W0rldtr33 (an ongoing slice of weirdness in which the internet comes to life and starts murdering people). It’s why something comparatively mainstream like Justice League can have an arc about Batman parenting a starfish and why the whole thing becomes Dark Nights: Metal and Death Metal for awhile (the Metal comics are end-of-the-world stuff inspired by- obvs- heavy metal albums… and they’re fucking great). It’s why stuff like Metal Hurlant and 2000AD is given a chance to find readers. So do comics need to be bigger and more widely accepted? Fuck no! The fringe is always where interesting stuff happens and aiming for mainstream acceptability is, it seems to me, a massive trap. The allure of more money and better social status is like one of the bug-zapper lights that draws in the moths and then fries their brains.

But what the fuck is the point of all this rambling? Comics are good- and thank goodness, since a lot of shit isn’t at the moment. There, I got it all down to once sentence, so what was the point of the rest? Well, I suppose there’s a lesson to be learned here. I’m a writer finally starting my career; finally putting work out into the public domain with a real publisher. No, I don’t do comics: I do sci-fi and fantasy books. But the lesson’s still applicable and it’s this: it’s a lot better to be good than popular and sometimes- just sometimes- you really do have to pick between the two.

Dinosaurs, the Anti-Capitalist 90s Sitcom

Dinosars is a 90s sitcom where the main character, Earl Sinclair, tries to balance his home life with his job. Most of the show's conflict comes from the fact that while Earl is a boot licking, traditionalist, idiot he does love his family. But his job is so demanding, low paying, and openly abusive to him that he comes home exhausted and feeling completely hopeless with no time or energy to be with the ones he loves. Causing him to be distant and short tempered towards them putting a great deal of burden on the family and constantly testing the strength of their bonds.

His boss is a cannibalistic monster who only thinks about money often using threats of being fired or violence the second his employees start asking questions or start valuing themselves or their families over performing for his every whim.

At one point Mr. Richfield runs for office with the explicit intent of giving his business tax breaks once he's in power. To win this election he runs on a platform of racism against four legged dinosaurs with the promise of building a giant wall to keep them out. A wall so comically ineffective that the concept itself is blatantly racist against four legged dinosaurs as the image he totes around to show off what the wall would look like has dinosaurs swimming, digging, and flying around it.

Yes this 90s puppet show sitcom predicted the rise of Donald Trump.

The only times the police are shown doing anything is when the property of the rich are threatened. Otherwise they are ineffective and apathetic when not openly hostile.

This show got away with all of this by 1: Never openly stating what the problem is. Only showing what its effects are and thus having full deniability. 2: By being a silly dinosaur puppet show with slap stick humor and 90s sitcom catch phrases.

And so this show was played weekly alongside such 90s heavyweights like Family Matters and Home Improvement.

Would you recommend watching RvB from the beginning? Or at all?

Alright, so. As a person with a pile of interests with either bad creative processes, bad content, or both, I sometimes don't really know how to approach it when people might want in on aforesaid interests.

I guess the first thing about theoretically getting into RvB in 2023 is to know that RT is shitty and was always shitty. This isn't all of it, and quite frankly I don't know all of it, but it's a place to start I guess. If you come in, don't get attached to the people who made it because a lot of them are disappointing.

Red vs Blue, especially early Red vs Blue, makes use of a lot of jokes that aren't okay now and weren't okay then. It's frequently insensitive and crass. Expect things like casual homophobia, "funny" jokes about racist stereotypes, and being weird about women. (It helps that most of the characters are supposed to come across as total jackasses, but. Uh.)

ALL THAT SAID, if you do still want to climb into the dumpster with us and have feelings about this stupid pile of characters and the ridiculous situations they've been in, I have some thoughts about that:

Starting from season 1 is doable if you have a high tolerance for 2000s gamer fratbro-flavored nonsense. I joke that Blood Gulch Chronicles (the collective name for seasons 1-5) is the best because it's the stupidest but I understand why people don't vibe with it. The advantages to this approach are you never have high expectations for RvB and you get to see the characters growing out of one note jokes into ridiculous idiot people, the whole process of it tripping over itself and accidentally finding a plot, and you know all the references later. The downside is... well, it's BGC.

A lot of people say to start with Season 6, the first of the seasons to feature Wash and the show trying to have a more definite plot, but I'm actually not fond of that approach. I think Red vs Blue lives and dies by its characters because the plot has always been too stupid for me to get really invested in it. I think it hits better if you already have had time to bond with the pack of idiots in their idiot vacuum before you hit things trying to be serious. If you start off caring about the troopers before you get invested in the (significantly more competent) freelancers, it will make the whole experience more fun.

So, based upon one trial run with a friend that wanted in a few years back, here's where I'd go:

Start with Season 11.

This might sound like an insane person thing to do on a longrunning show, but trust me.

Season 11 through Season 13 are a complete arc, and are the best one the show ever had. Each "season" of RvB is about the length of a long movie, so it's not an un-doable amount of content to commit to. I watched them with an eye to letting a new person in the last time I did, and they are remarkably self-contained and do a good job of giving you just enough information to know what's going on without requiring the Deep Lore.

I think 11 is the best onboarding spot for someone who has been adjacent to Red vs Blue but never really dug in because the characters are developed, you get a season to get to know them when they're being themselves causing their own problems for a while before the major plot hits them, and the 11-13 arc is just really nicely done (more nicely done than RvB honestly ever deserved.)

If you get through 11-13 and want to know more about these characters, then jump back to season 1 and let your investment and curiosity about the backstories you've seen hints of carry you.

THEN if you still want to watch more rvb, you can cover 15-17 but expect to be miserable because 15 and 16 suck desperately. (17 does a great job trying to apologize for those seasons, but it still stings.)

More rambles under the cut off

HI IT ME AGAIN BIRDY YEAH I RUN THIS IDIOT TOO WHO I LOVE DEARLY EHHHH BE PREPARED FOR THE INCOMPRIHENSIBLE RAMBLINGS OF YE BOI

first of all Hi! Im birdy, 24 years old, a black trans animator from the netherlands. I do da drawing and da makin of da gaymes. I stream on twitch you are always free to reach out to me here in DM's or else on discord The-Nerdy-Birdy#0918 <- JUST BE AWARE I was terrible social anxiety and I may be slow to respond THAT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU PLEASE KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU Im just silly :3 and have my moments. I promise ya tho I love to talk and ramble.

now with that out of the way

Bloem is my babygirl I love her dearly. she comes from a very strict and religious household circa 1910-20 her father and mother were incredibly abusive towards her. its where she learned to be so obedient. or atleast where it started. her friends tried to pull her outta it but it didnt work.

she studied to be a nurse in rotterdam and worked there for a bit in the hospital until the war reached the netherlands and rotterdam got bombed. she then started working wherever med care was needed which included in the field and house visits for people in hiding.

mid hunger winter of 1945 is when Valerie her sire snatched her up for embrace. it was not pretty and the amount screaming bloem did ruined her vocal chords forever. Valerie then blood bonded her and basically made her work in her "club". Valerie was unkind and bloem doesnt like to talk about it much.

after about 20 years of service to valerie the dutch SI named LIGHTHOUSE busted down the club killing vallerie in the process. its how Bloem ended up with the SI still shaken from the snapping of the bond but also so so so thankful to be freed.

ever since shes been working with the SI. being their honeypot as well as heavy fire in battles. though she hunts smaller targets as she primarily lives of vitae and is a bit addicted to it.

SHE WILL ALWAYS TRY AND BE KIND. AS SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE SUFFERING WILL BRING ANY GOOD IN THE WORLD BUT HER VIEWS ARE SEVERLY FUCKED UP AND HER BLOOD DOES NOT HELP WITH IT. shes smart but not great with people and walks into traps if people are just kind to her. she has such a need of authority and guidance its sad.

i hope she will get better eventually. she was... so kind. she deserved better.

To Know Who Democrats Are, Look At What They Accuse Republicans Of Being

In an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart for the racist Joy Reid show (I’d make an analogy about a Republican president sitting down with a racist Fox host, but there isn’t anything close to an equivalent) the so-called journalist asked the following question, “A far –right conservative person said earlier this month about the Senate race in Georgia, and I quote ‘I don’t care if Herschel Walker paid to abort endangered baby eagles, I want control of the Senate.’ You were in the Senate a long time, 1973 to 2008, you know that institution inside and out, better than anybody probably has ever served in it. In that time, you served with many Republicans, super-conservative Republicans. My question is to you, though, Mr. President, is can our democracy survive when the Republican Party is…it only cares about power?”

Honestly, Joe Biden can skip his next colonoscopy, Capehart was just up there, kissing everything, and saw nothing. Our idiot President, after the tongue bath from a “serious journalist,” answered a question with implicit “Democrats don’t care about power” undertones (something laughable on its face as they still order anyone they can to get a “vaccine” shot that doesn’t work simply because they can’t let go of the power to do so), replied, “I think that if we allow the Republican party to continue to metastasize into a minority of what the party as a whole is…I look, I think one of the reasons there’s not more mainstream conservative Republicans running out there is because they are so concerned about not only their physical well-being, but also notion that how can they win when a minority of Republicans are showing up to vote and they’re really hard edged?”

What planet is he from? Putting aside the absurdity that potential Republican candidates were concerned for their safety from anything other than the Brownshirt BLM/ANTIFA progressive mob committing political violence for years on behalf of, and with the blessing of, Biden’s party, let’s just take a second and look at what the two parties have become over the last few years on just a couple of issues. Abortion: There was once Republicans on both sides of the issue, just as there once were pro-life Democrats.

There are still Republicans on both sides of the issue and Republicans who are pro-life who support all manner of restrictions – from a total ban to a 15-week ban. There isn’t a single Democrat willing to say there should be any restrictions on abortion, up to the moment of birth, and until the kid goes to college if that becomes the fashion with the radical left.Capitalism: Both parties were capitalists, by and large. No Democrat pays more than lip service to the concept now.Women: Both parties used to know what one was – Bill Clinton never hooked up with a male intern and Ted Kennedy never screwed around with or killed a guy, they knew exactly what a woman was.

Now, as if someone waived a magic wand, every Democrat has forgotten what a woman is, even the women who’ve spent their political careers claiming to be champions of women.These are a few examples, but there really isn’t any issue on which the left hasn’t been completely homogenized, no one dare disagree with the fringe out of fear of their wrath. Tell me again how Republicans have radicalized?When you’re sitting next to someone in the middle of a bench then you slide down to the end, if you ignored where you were before you could make the case that the other person has moved so far to the extreme to a person ignorant of how things were. That’s what Democrats are now – a group of people lying to the base they’ve fought hard to keep ignorant.

The extent to which it works in the future is dependent upon how much it has worked so far. The results of this election will determine more than who controls the House or Senate, it will determine whether or not we start to pull up from the Democrat-imposed nosedive on everything from free speech and economics to the Alphabet Mafia and cultural rot. Don’t take the common sense of your friends, family and neighbors for granted, make sure those who have common sense actually vote. Drag them with you if that’s what it takes. The stakes have never been higher.

Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard: 8/4/2023

Fifth Place: Asa Hutchinson

As Asa Hutchinson continues his Presidential run, the writing on the wall--which was always against him--has become so clear that the only person who doesn't think he should just drop out is, well, Asa Hutchinson. However, another reminder of his failure of a campaign can be found on The Hill, which today ran the headline "Hutchinson says he’s ‘close to halfway there’ in reaching GOP presidential debate threshold." If he is in a race for the presidency or a race against Spongebob is currently unclear.

Fourth Place: John McWhorter

His New York Times column "One Sentence Does Not Define a Curriculum" goes after the critics of Ron DeSantis's recently approved educational standards in Florida, noting that much of this complaining is about a single sentence.

However, from the tone of coverage of this passage, one might suppose that it was a central plank in the curriculum. Instead, it was but one passage amid hundreds of others, which constitute an almost exhaustive coverage of the gruesomeness of slavery in the United States. Taken together, they are such an informed recitation of our racist past that it is almost surprising DeSantis would approve them.

This is an amazing rebuttal of the people who believe that sentence is the only thing in the entire curriculum, although given I have yet to see anybody make that claim I would call this nothing more than strawmanning. Unless something about the wider context of that statement changes its meaning, bringing up that most of the document is fine (as if we'd accept an A for effort regarding how children are taught about history) is just nonsensical. To put it another way: Although he is right that this one sentence being bad does not make the entire curriculum racist (something which nobody is claiming), that does not make said one sentence any less racist.

McWhorter also makes this note:

It’s important also to note that the principal purported gaslighter was himself Black. The person responsible for the infamous passage, according to fellow group members, was William Allen. He is an academic and also a Republican, but, as challenging as it can be to perceive this in our times, that party affiliation does not automatically render him suspect on matters of race.

Although it is true that Allen's political party does not make his statements on race any less correct by default, the mention of him being black seems to come with the implication that his race adds validity to his statements, which is equally untrue. People of color can have stupid, uninformed, and bigoted opinions on issues related to racial minorities just as everybody can, because idiocy knows no race.

Third Place: Mark Levin

Speaking of idiotic things said about slavery, Levin made a rather moronic comment about the Trump indictment yesterday:

We were reminded last night by an Israeli, Caroline Glick -- born in America -- who said one of the great legal minds in Israel who she spoke to said, you know, in the United States, the Dred Scott decision, which was decided in 1857 - the impact of that decision took a few years to really settle in. It served as the foundation for the Civil War.

And here I was thinking it had to do with the South--who agreed with Dred Scott v. Sanford--attempting to leave the union after the election of an abolitionist President.

This is one political party trying to destroy another. This is one political party trying to monopolize elections, federal law enforcement, and the entire justice system. And if they get away with it, it's over. It's over.

Of course, nobody is trying to destroy the entire Republican Party, what they are attempting to do is imprison Donald Trump because, you know, he broke the law.

Second Place: Mike Huckabee

Mother Jones has an article out on his recent children's book The Kids Guide to the Truth About Climate Change, and although I will not cover every error they documented, I will show you my personal favorite:

The visuals used in the guide are even more blatantly misleading than its text, [Glenn] Branch [deputy director of the National Center for Science Education] noted. One graph, titled “Thousands of Years of Carbon Dioxide Levels,” spans 400,000 years ago until “present day,” and is summarized with the conclusion, “looking back in time, carbon dioxide levels have always gone up and down.” But the data the graph labels as “present day”—peaking at a little over 280 parts per million—actually represents levels from 2,300 years ago, around 391 BC, Branch pointed out. The vast majority of the carbon dioxide driving climate change has been emitted only since the Industrial Revolution, with atmospheric CO2 concentrations currently over 420 parts per million, higher than any data point included on the graph, which has a scale that only goes up to 300 parts per million.

This man seriously confused 391 BC with the present day.

Winner: Marjorie Taylor Greene

Regarding the Trump indictment, Greene said this "feels like communism" which is an economic system that has nothing to do with the ability to charge one's political leaders and usually results in authoritarian states where such a thing is impossible.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, you've said the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Post #4

I’d like to briefly speak about a slightly disturbing trend I’ve noticed in large platforms such as Twitter and Reddit. This will be part of a string of more political posts I’ll be making (expect a post on Tiktok and Congress soon because oh boy, I got stuff to say). I just want to get my thoughts out there and I am by no means an expert. This is mostly going to be a rant about my issues with what I view to be “capitalism, but worse than usual”, aka owners of large companies screwing over users in hopes of making larger profits. Also, to be clear, while I don’t think I could call myself a socialist, I do think it’s the superior system, at least for the time being. Alas, we are stuck in this capitalist nightmare. Alright, enough waffling. Let's begin!

So, for simplicity’s sake, let's make something clear: there’s what capitalism wants to be and then there’s what capitalism is. Capitalism wants to be a merit-based system that rewards those that put in the work. On paper, this is not a bad idea. You work hard, move up in the system, and get paid more. You come up with innovative ideas, move up in the system, get paid more, and then have more opportunities to innovate. Sounds fair. The problems start with the fact that not everyone has the opportunity to enter the system. I could go on and on about the ways the system pushes down and punishes poorer people, especially minorities, but I want to focus on how it disproportionately rewards those who are born into money. Trust-fund babies can win simply by being lucky enough to be born into a family that was already rich, and these families got rich by exploiting workers and stealing resources (hi Elon Musk Emerald Mine, how’s it going? Yeah, I didn’t forget about you). 

Full disclosure, I bought into the “Elon Musk is a genius” narrative when I was younger. I have sung his praises. But now, with Tesla cars having a predisposition for catching on fire and Twitter alienating advertisers left and right, I regret everything. Elon Musk probably is a very smart person: IQ is somewhat of a bullshit metric of intelligence, but I do think that it says something that his IQ is 150-155. For comparison, Einstein’s IQ was 160, and Einstein was a genius who made leaps and bounds in his field, and to argue otherwise makes you look stupid. But god, he is an idiot businessman. His choices while running Twitter have been baffling. I’m not going to pretend that I’m a genius at business but when your main source of revenue for your company comes from advertisers and you then make choices that alienate those advertisers, I’m going to wonder what you’re thinking. The rollout for Twitter Blue was just as much of a mess. We all know what happened to Eli Lily’s stock. How this genius man (who is also very familiar with how shit-posting and trolling works) could not have predicted how this may have gone bad is inconceivable. Furthermore, the never-ending waves of bad takes from users who have bought into the blue check is at best annoying and at worst nauseating. Not only is he alienating advertisers, his main sources of income, but he’s alienating users too who hate how polarizing the site has become. I literally could not use the site without seeing something vilely misogynistic, racist, homophobic, or transphobic. I deleted the app yesterday because I couldn’t stand it anymore (Which reminds me, I really want to talk about digital self-harm at some point). 

Reddit is another good example. What the hell is going on over there? Well, basically moderators like to use third-party tools to moderate subreddits. However, Reddit is instituting changes to its API (Application Program Interface, which basically allows moderators to use third-party programs to moderate) that creates a paywall to use these tools. This completely screws over moderators and their ability to moderate. And to be clear, most moderator teams are unpaid volunteers who want to serve a community they care about. So, subreddits are going private en masse in protest. It’s pissing off users. I don’t even use Reddit and it’s making me pissed. These moderators are volunteering their time to communities they care about and Reddit, in the name of making more money, is basically cucking them. And they know this! Their API was designed to make moderators’ jobs easier because they knew that they needed tools to manage their communities. If they really cared about their platform and wanted to weed out third-party programs they would create their own tool for moderation. But no, they instead decided to put the burden, both labor-wise and monetarily, entirely on the community. This also stifles the creativity of these third-party apps which will be forced to shut down due to the monetary constraints the company is placing on its communities. “Capitalism encourages innovation!” we are told and then watch as the system literally forces innovators to shut down their projects because they cannot keep up with the increasing demands for profit. These third-party tools were created out of love for a community, and lo and behold, it all turned out to be for nothing. People play by the rules and what do they get?

This is what capitalism actually is: profit over everything. People do not matter: they are at best an inconvenience and at worst an active nuisance, but they are always a cog in the machine. Elon doesn’t care about his users. Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, does not care about his users. It is always about profit. This is only the beginning. The internet will become increasingly hostile to its users as companies continue to harvest data (which is an entirely different and dangerous issue) and create policies that put profit over people. Enjoy reality, for you are not a human, but a cog in a machine you cannot even fucking see.

Note: If you disagree with any of this, please feel free to give me a comment! Keep it respectful of course, but I love engaging in discussion. Also, if I got anything wrong let me know! I’m no expert and even if I was I’d still probably get something wrong. Also, a lot of the ideas expressed here were informed primarily from this article: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/reddit-blackout-1.6873756. It’s a good read and tackles not just things going on at Reddit but also things happening at Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, and Instagram.

Really mixed feelings about the Garlean bit. I think there was a kernel of a good idea in the way they're handling Garlemald. The concept of the Evil Empire of Evil's ideology and propaganda not vanishing after it falls is quite interesting and the struggle of the Good Guys trying to help these kind of deranged people has a lot of opportunity for good stories.

I even think the angle they chose is a good one, the idea that we're giving them everything but the autonomy they need is interesting and it raises really cool questions about the nature of intervention and the rights a people should still have before an outside force, even if that force is benevolent and necessary for the people's survival. It also provides an opportunity for the twins to bump up against a significant challenge. It's really fertile ground!

That being said, the execution felt practically infantilizing. The stupid baby racists are going to throw a temper tantrum and LITERALLY DOOM THE WORLD if we don't give them the chance to feel like big boys. If we didn't have a head of state there to give them a transparently pity offer of trade then we were fucked, and even with that one of them still ran off like an angry child to go get killed by one of the robots HE EXPLICITLY REFUSED TO LET THE EORZEANS EXTERMINATE FOR HIM. These guys aren't capable leaders or sympathetic characters, they're idiot manchildren and I hate them. Worse than that, they're idiot manchildren I HAVE to deal with in order to fight the cool void guy, so the whole time I'm watching them whine and complain at us for wiping their asses too well I'm impatiently waiting to actually progress the plot.

I think that the better way to handle this would have been to introduce an actually competent Garlean in charge. Someone who occupied a position of power prior to the fall and consequently kept the trust of the survivors afterwards. They shouldn't like us--we're savages and their enemy--but they should be used to dealing with things they don't like. You don't rise in the empire if you can't make the best out of a shitty situation. They should be conniving, pragmatic, and maybe a little evil, but that should mean that above all else they're aware of their position. They know we have them in a choke-hold, even if we're not squeezing. They should be trying to extract everything they can from our kindness while that lasts, and at the same time taking every measure they can to ensure Garlemald will survive when our kindness runs out.

This is just fantasy now, of course, but I think a character like that would have provided much needed agency to Garlemald's side, and could have used Jullus as an excellent foil. At the same time, it could offer good character development as we see a real Garlean asshole come to terms not only with the fall of the empire but the impossibility of its restoration and the need to continue on regardless. With proper development over the 6.X patches, I think it wouldn't have felt unnatural for this character to come to a begrudging acceptance of the WoL as a force of good, even if that good is too chaotic for their taste.

If you want to get crazy with it, I think they could even have been interesting with the twins. If this is a savvy real politik type, then they would immediately have to recognize that those two are the most powerful political force currently in action. The Scion's political actions have largely been shaped and spearheaded by Alphinaud and the result of this has been the complete transformation of the Eorzean alliance and the world order at large. Previously unthinkable alliances have been forged and the Empire's been beaten back at every turn because of them (and the WoL). But, at the same time, they're so stupidly idealistic. They're building a powderkeg of dreams and it's only a matter of time before they don't send us after a spark in time and the whole thing goes up in flames.

With proper work, this character could present a coherent philosophical challenge to them. And I think the most interesting result would be if both sides managed to temper the other instead of a complete defeat. This Garlean character can poke holes in them, point out how volatile things are, how likely the alliance is to resort to violence once resources become scarce, and Alphinaud and Alisae can say, "you may be right, so let's fix that." And the result can be the beginning of working towards a stable and united Hydaelyn, not just because all the leaders are best friends with the most important white haired people in the world but because they created ways to solve their inevitable disputes peacefully.

IDK, this sort of got away from me. I just wanted to talk about my issues with the Garlemald bit and instead I've invented a character that will never exist, but I think they'd be cool. Maybe at least they help illustrate some of the missed opportunities.

Here's great example of Trump and patriarchy making Americans stupid into total cucks, as stupid as Pat Sajak on wheel of fortune only actually much dumber, because Pat Sajak -- even as much as he slathers his face with Trumporange bronzer -- wouldn't say something this cucked:

"opens envelope* an autistic special interest, wow. that don't at all sound like the covert pathologizing of male curiosity,"

That's what cucking looks like, kids. People cuck themselves so deeply to Trump and Peterson Palpatine that what feels like observation to them is just a child getting everything 180 degrees upside down in the most rightist and hateful of manners.

Who is it running around casually degrading everybody 'autistic' these days? Is it women? Is it? Is it feminists? No?

The answer is that it's toxic spoiled shitstain Wonderbread fucks.

Women are the ones who love the autistic more and stand up for them more. Men are the ones who give that schoolyard bully insult YOURE AUTISTIC HAHAHHAHAH YOUR MENTALLY ILL HAHAHAHAH and pathologise men.

It's a flat out lie -- as usual -- to say it's women who are pathologising men as autistic. Everyone who's ever called me autistic has been a Male Bugs Bunny. I also know of a Male Bugs Bunny still living with its parents who has called me worse things than autistic. If the American male is a fucking failure who bullies others as AUTITSTICI HAHHAHAH KILL YORUSELF the one who's doing the pathologising is the American male, who's really a toddler who fails to behave like a man in most cases.

Here's what a woman has to say. I never see American men caring to this extent in America:

Note how this women, too, knows that the source of the trouble around the word autism is THE MALES. Since the American male cares less and is less competent intellectually, it should not be in charge until it stops being a dumb toddler blaming women for its own failings.

"whose mean thoughts are not producing juggy milk"

Why, it's almost as if Elon Musk could have composed that sentence... a case of a weakling cuck trying to catch up to one of the shittiest humans in America on how not to be funny and how to keep sexism alive for Trump with a nerdy spin of a nerd trying to act like a cool jock but failing. The difference is Elon Musk has something called MUNNY. A lot of MUNNY. Therefore Americans will cuck themselves to Elon's culture but ain't nobody except the weakest of derivates gonna cuck themselves to the unfunny, purile, Elon-esque composer of:

"whose mean thoughts are not producing juggy milk"

Notice, also, this person trying to grapple with epic questions of Civilisation that sound as amateurish as Grimes or Elon trying to do so. Even Palpatine Peterson knows enough to reign it in most of the time. Fool racists like Bronze Age Pervert do not. Maybe stop chasing Camille Paglia's coattails and read Spengler or whatever for all I fucking care, but I'm really so over 'Dunce Baby's Guide to How Civilisation Should Operate' types when they haven't even managed the basics of how not to threaten murder, be an antisemite, be a straight white supremacist, or posit Vivek Ramaswamy (he who would raise the voting age to 26 and is totally a massive grifter nitwit) as 'the sanest candidate for President by far.

This person painted many portraits of me as somebody they could smear in writing and then was a crybully when i beat them in every battle for trying it, and they are as likely to apologise as Trump's likely to apologise aka chance zero because as a cuck, they can only cluck onward getting all of life 180 degrees upside down backwards due to something called

PREJUDICE.

All they can do is serve their masters. They learned nothing of the failures of the 1960s, in which the idiot American male tried to resist their masters but was still blaming everything on women and faggots -- just as this cuck is still doing 60 years ex post facto, which makes the cuck even more square, belated, and pathetic -- and since they were still holding the xenomorphs of their masters, they ended up creating squalid misery for women and LGBT folks and blacks everywhere they went

and then they blamed their failings on women LGBT folks and blacks as those abandoned them all and decided some putrid fuck with a tribalist-royalist white pride Nazified identity complex was not about to automatically get to sit on every gay's neck or lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie to women

lie to women and say WOMEN ARE THE REASON EVERYONE'S CALLING EVERYONE AUTISTIC THESE DAYS.

huge fucking lies, lies born out of a toddler's incapacity to act like a grown man and be unprejudiced and real about the sources of evil.

the nerd who wants to be a jock and wants so desperately to be a leader is just pathetic to me. i don't even believe in leadership or jocks or nerds. those are three concepts I don't really have any room for and never have, but some sissy toddler isn't gonna understand that -- some sissy toddler chasing the coattails of established sources of power in the most pathetic of ways, all because they refuse to relinquish their massive prejudice, red-pilled cucked brain and selfishness. i don't want them to be me, I just want them to not be such a fucking cuck. i really don't get America.

'western civilisation' might as well be a sausage casing at this point

that's what it is, basically -- a sausage casing that every doofus in America plus Jordan Peterson Palpatin up in America's hat uses to stuff whatever idiot blather they cooked up in a bid for market cap and credibility and serious business.

"like... access and engagement with texts and the cognitive boosts to literacy is how you change nature by changing time, and this understanding is foundational to the development of not only sausage casing, but all higher thought?"

see how by swapping in 'sausage casing' for 'western civilisation' in every instance Peterson, Musk, Grimes and their far weaker derivates down the red-pilled food chain actually illuminates the truth of what's going on with the writer far more than whatever misguided blather they're working themselves up into a lather over does?

swapping in 'sausage casing' also says more about so-called western civilisation these days.

i mean that's what junk these people are -- what total complete and utter phonies they are. they're not interested in thinking. they're interested in posturing and deceiving based on their own preset factory settings, which operate on behalf of the empire that cucked them.

and they wonder why I don't respect them and don't say nice things about them? Why would I if they're not seriously prepared to look at what they're doing and what totally bubbled-headed buffoons they've made themselves out to be in my eyes, and in the eyes of many others?

PREJUDICE LOOK IT UP AND START THERE. that's the lesson these thickskulled spoiled brats truly don't get because they're such weakling spoiled sissy self-castrated toddlers who are truly paranoid that one black person getting one crumb somewhere or one faggot not bowing its head seven fucking times properly was the end of 'western civiilsation' and that they must rush to stop 'collapse'.

just unbelievably weak stuff, and this is the pathetic ass country I live in? jesus fucking christ. if the patriarchy hadn't knocked down my career plans, i'd probably have a technical skill i could easily use to move to Singapore and be done with this cesspool of utterly craven power-hungry nitwits who can't even see so much as their own hands in front of them because they're so goddamn blind to how the 'tribalist' is themselves.

language isn't a glyph or a sigil just like a house isn't a ghost's home just like a democratic republic isn't a kingdom

these are separate concepts, not a weakling's backsliding into more disempowered and unenlightened times.

mangled run on sentences about man dog woman woof woof are def not beautiful to me. I suppose if your brain is on the level of Dick, Spot and Jane books, like my dad, that might be -- but mine's not.

"i think modern society is shit cause people have no power and don't know how to use their freedom."

operating code: more freedom for america operating code: more power for america

I think the best thing to do with these toddlers hung up on life's concepts as if only three exist -- MONEY POWER FREEDOM -- is to start ignoring them, perhaps. If you're so afraid of life that fat-finger fuckingyourself within the 5% range of life proscribed by Trump's aperture -- for what three values matter more to Trump than his Money, His Power, and His Freedom -- what three? WHAT THREE, DUMMY -- well, most Americans choose two of Trump's three and forsake the third, don't they? Trump's the holy trinity and they go with

GOD MONEY GOD POWER

or

GOD POWER GOD FREEDOM

but who's the boss? Who's the boss of you, dummy? Hey cuckgirl, talking to you America, talking to all of America's cucks -- who's your boss?

Trump's your boss. Trust somebody who's been to 68 countries and has seen the difference between types of programmatic and unprogrammatic.

Oh that's right -- i'm not in a FAT RICH POWERFUL FREE STRAIGHT WHITE CAPITALIST BODY so i'm sure due to your

prejudice

that there's nothing to learn here from me about yourself, cuck.

oh let's entertain one 'thought' tho

"i think if more people were strong and self-determining, they'd naturally agree on most shit and decide to work together and there'd be less crime and senseless violence."

to which i can only say LOLOLLOLLHLOLOLOL in these kiddo's video game-infused terms. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL hit the gym, dummy. Go scream your fool brat head off over who you want to murder and who you want to kill themselves and then come back to me again with your

incredibly, incredibly cucked American Way-cum-Gandhi recipe for peace. you honestly wouldn't know your ass from a hole in a ground, and your posturing and acting is so incredibly bad because you're cucked and you're trying to make peace fit The American Way

but ya know what, kid? The American Way has never been about peace. figure it the fuq out. Read a book. I'm not sorry that The Colour Purple was too black for you.

of course the reverse is true. if more people were meek and aren't so selfishly determining, they naturally reduce the crime. the statistical evidence shows this to be what's going on worldwide

and a sissy toddler wouldn't know how to look up the most basic of statistical evidence like a grown man would. of course not.

but like Trump and Elon, the cuck thinks it knows -- oh how it does -- it thinks it could set the world to rights -- but all it can do is refry propaganda like the cuck it is.

people who are really (operatingcode: stronger is better) love to show off against dumb people they have contempt for. having you ever seen this live? No, I suppose you haven't. well, i have. Strong people aren't here to pamper your lies or swallow your derivate, cucked shit:

You know why Madge was pissed? Because Gaga can't express herself worth a damn, just runs around chasing operatingcode: stronger is better but she doesn't know where it (silence)

The lesson is to express yourself, not fill up sausage casings with desperate cucked-by-the-patriarchy-laziness just thinking operatingcode: win.

If that's all there is to ya -- being a prejudiced cuck copycat -- i guess you are expressing yourself, but that also comes to the Man in the Mirror segment where perhaps the problem isn't the women. Perhaps it isn't me. Perhaps it isn't the blacks you exclude. Perhaps it isn't that nobody cares enough about the straight biggywiddle white man who only got to be president 45 times out of 46 so society has damaged them and it's all a communist plot to cripple 'em by calling em autistic cuz the women did it the women the women the women.

Perhaps the problem is you and always has been you. The problem is you and the problem is Taylor Swift and the problem is that your generation is so stewing in hatred that you don't know what anything is or how to care for anything and it's just fodder fodder fodder -- and I'm happy to win every battle you started and to remind you that you're neglecting 95% of life to fat finger fuck yourself within Trump's narrowly permitted range of childish inaccontability and misguided blind-as-a-mole tomfoolery.

The problem is you, Taylor. All the twists and turnings in this video to make yourself the victim will not work. You are a capitalistic billionaire who soaks your fans with 3 version of the same album. Your contempt for the marginalised peoples without rich banker daddies is obvious. Your desire to call a male a faggot and say you'll get his dad to kick his ass have always been there and are documented in song. You may have backtracked as is necessary to correct errors for celebrity ascent, but I will not be fooled:

There is nothing in this song that says "I am here to give."

The entire song exists to take.

Likewise, Trump's cuck exists to take. I'm not attracted to Taylor Swift. I'm not attracted to Wonderbread that wishes to extract.

There will be people who are there for that, but you will never have more than a fragment of the people who are there for Taylor to do that. You don't have the body for it. You don't have dad's money for it. And you don't have the truly capitalistic desire for it.

TRUMP'S TRINITY: MONEY POWER FREEDOM

TAYLOR'S CHOICE: MONEY POWER (and she's trying to squeeze in freedom by making it all about her, oh how very close, dear cuck, she has gotten to achieving Trump's recipe for a STRONG America)

CUCK'S CHOICE: POWER FREEDOM

It's still Trump's aperture. Your operating code is still as simplistic and wrongheaded as it gets, in my view, as I had a heart that said it's time to walk away from playing along to these sick and stupid and misguided values-- and I did so long ago.

To you, you smell weakness because you're programmed by the code.

HANK IF YOUR SO STRONG WHY DONT YOU HAVE TONS OF MONEY POWER FREEDOM THEN

oh, do i not have enough for your liking, cuck?

i sure as fuck have more of those three things than you do. but that's not the point.

the point is they're not values in and of themselves. i see them as lack of values, something i've had to get a stake in because this society is so fucking sick .. just to clear space for values.

they are, in other words, just a compromise with evil to me.

here's an example of self-unawareness and stupidity unfolding from sentence to sentence:

"i think manufactured conflict is dumb and wrong and i don't wanna live in your weird soap opera." great, cuck, if that's what you want, the best thing you could do is stop talking about how David Lynch is better than me and trying to make it clear to me that I don't even compare to the weird soap opera products David Lynch.

"you're not david lynch."

whoops, dummy, ya just blew it. immediately. do you accidentally cum in the first fifteen seconds too? I'd bet ya do.

"when david lynch..."

dummy, what did i just say? if you don't want me to be manufactured, dumb and wrong conflict (which is exactly what David Lynch produces) and you don't want weird soap operas, then stop talking about how David Lynch writes the most exquisite weird soap operas which solve everything for your cuckbrain.

"...portals to hell dimensions that i lose myself in, i come away feeling clean and unburdened. when you do it, it's just ass."

ok this one is the most hilarious and telling one for many reasons.

is it Tide clean? Is it Zest-fully clean? Did Saint Lynch forgive you of all your sins? Did you get a piece of that dark confession box in a Catholic service, only as a cuck, the product on the screen relieved you of the need to even so much as anonymous tell a priest your sins and that you're sorry for them? Forgive me, Father Lynch, for I have sinned and amongst you, I don't even need to ask for forgiveness, I just consume, feeling as clean as Downy, as soft as Snuggle, oh I love feeling Lynchian! Take that, black people with your infeiror arts! Is it all of that in one?"

As far as it's just ass, some of us happen to think a lot about licking men's hot hairy assholes when we get into certain erotic states. I get that you're suburban and easily grossed out. It's ok. Nobody is forcing you. If you want all the corners cut off your bread and everything to be squeaky clean, you can. Even being closeted falls under LGBT these days.

But uh, excuse me if it's funny to me that the caboose of the Trump train is saying I'm 'just ass'. I'm the Little Engine That Could, which as part of Trump's train you get a cucked glee from mocking, and I will think of licking asshole all I want, thank you very much.

ASS is not the worst thing in the world. Heck, even when I was 23, I wrote a song called Asskitten because I was in a mode contrary to the bourgeois mode you exist in -- one in which the word Ass is not the ultimate cartoon rabbit zinger. It was a rather crunchy tune, slight and a throwaway, but the drummer liked it.

YOU"RE NO DAVID LYNCH, HANK!!!

good, because i don't want to be. only the dumbest cucks from suburbia insist on that sort of thing for human beings like me. I don't want to be Howdy Doody. I don't want to wipe your sins clean like a Reaganite church for lazy and selfish suburbanites. I have zero desire to provide the function of Twin Peaks, the tv show. I like to provide the opposite function of that particular show. That said, I do like some Lynch myself, but I know where he draws what makes ya feel so squeaky clean from, and I'd suggest you get off your bum and go experience it yourself.

to expect humans to be tv is beyond the pale.

i'm not your cartoon rabbit, bunny boy. go be top bunny 10x a day and feel great for scoring your 'wins' against rival Americans, as you do. I told you to stop writing about me and you couldn't resist picking another fight because you cannot control how it drives your prejudicial self wild that a nice faggot is so much stronger than you when he doesn't even have an interest in strength -- and so I'll tell you again.

Jesus was a Nazi, kid, ever since Martin Luther took him out of Rome... and look what those Italian Catholics did with their claim to Jesus, omg, they invented fascism and voted it into office! Where the fuck do you think fascism came from, Constantinopole? Out of folks playing the gamelan in Denpasar?

You ever heard of Mussolini? "Brough you closer to Jesus...." get the fuck out of here with that.

You're not interested in learning, you're interested in lying, manipulating and harming the world to maintain the imperial status quo -- you're interest in that Britney Spears song about Stronger Than Yesterday only with a transgender androphile pill for sissy self-cucked toddlers to make Britney a man -- so I don't expect you to read this, but if you did you'd know why you sound like such a dope.

Stop trying to prove me wrong, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Proving me wrong isn't gonna accomplish any good in the world. If you're so close to Jesus after reading Nietzsche, go wash some feet. Have you ever washed a fucking foot in your life, one of even that suburban Wonderbread sack, let alone a poor kid?

Closer to Jesus.. as if I didn't make all those posts about Jesusboy Nietzsche before you, and now you forget that a woman like me taught it to ya and you throw it back at me like you got something to teach me, huh Gaga? Huh Tay Tay? Close to Jesus... even I've washed more feet than you have. Here's a parable for ya and it ain't no THE POOR WIDDLE POWERFUL WHITE MAN blond beast readymade like Nietzsche coughs up:

Matthew 13:31-32 

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

Doesn't that sound pleasant, kid? Everyone loves a nice tree. Just don't go thinking you're the royal boss of the place like my dad and his dink friend Phil do. They love trees, love em love em love em. I do too. But I think maybe they identify with the same evils you and Nietzscher did. As was told to me by a Scientologist from The Woodlands who I fucked, you don't chop down all the trees to make room for the rose bushes.

That really pissed me off. In fact, I'm still fuming about it.

Nobody is gonna prejudice me into tell me I'm just some fucking flower and that the straight white male body type is the fucking provident tree. Get the fuck out of here with that, now and forever. I will not be pigeonholed into your boutonniere. I will allow a toddler to toddlerify itself every time it boops me on the nose, because i'm a great and patient babysitter -- but when the toddler decides I cannot be trusted as it snickers and smirks and plans my downfall, it will fail to wrest control, just as you failed and will always fail at it.

the competition isn't even close so you need to find people more in your own weight class to tussle with. you cannot win against this.

again, with the horse thing, you don't get it. you're operating under traditional dipshit Trumpatriarchy operating code: showing weakness is bad

Therefore, when i talk about Nietzsche and the horse, you feel like a very good BOY rushing to defend the strong established author, favoured by rightist forces of empire, as he were -- the Nazis loved Nietzscher, and Hesse, who's infinitely wiser than you, wrote about the damage Nietzsche would do to the German system, destabilising it into evil... basically, you plead THE MAN WAS NOT WEAK, look at the whole!

Well, cuckboy, you're still under operating code: weakness is bad, shore it up. It's not my fault you're a cuck.

My gripe with Niezsche is that horses are favoured by cucks of empire, he was a cuck. Crying over a fucking horse while not even learning your own grandson's name, as my grandpa failed to do -- that's exactly what some dumb fucking Republican would do. It's weak as shit. The imperial fucking symbol of the horse... give me a fucking break, kid, you know how many horses they have in Cheyenne? You know how many stagecoaches and saddles of all shapes and sizes I've been experiencing? You know what sits in the lobby of the Wells Fargo Bank in Minneapolis?

You know nothing. You are some dumb toddler trying to make me into the bad guy for not respecting the established author enough. Nietzsche was the bad guy compared to me, so fucking deal with it! Go admire his aphorisms but don't be a fool and tell me Nietzsche's world works... he was living in a fucking fantasy. It works about as well as a Viking saga, so go experience it for your hot hairy hunks and power ups (based on contempt of the socialist rabble, which is what he had) but don't even start with me on Nietzsche. I don't want to hear your 'but but buts'... Hesse knew much better what was good for the German people. Mann did. All sorts did, and their fiction was BETTER so fuck off and deal with it. It's not fair tho, because they came later, so it was easier to be wiser in the age of radio. Nietzsche was dead before the first radio broadcast even happened.

“And Those Who Were Seen Dancing Were Thought to Be Insane…” -

– “He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.”

– “I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his ‘divine service.’”

– “And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.”

Do you consider that smart? Sounds like Nietzsche was a severe German, prone to hyperbole to try to get what he wants. To the French or Japanese sensibility, it would seem crude and barbaric, as it seems to me. Oh Germany.

"He found the sacred through dance. As Nietzsche once said: “I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance.” Nietzsche danced daily, saying it was his “only kind of piety,” his “divine service.”

Well i'd like to see Nietzsche do the polka even. don't you think i'm insane, kid? Sorry i love to dance more than you. Sorry that Nietzsche did. I told you to dance how many times -- maybe listen to Niezsche if you won't listen to me and stop being such a Closer to Jesus Good Boy who's gonna defend The Good and Great Nietzsche from Hank.

Nietzsche is probably the most read philosopher in America, and you think I'm a threat? What the fuck planet are you on? Why don't you go read The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, kid, because you have no clue why Nietzsche cries no matter how close to Jesus you think he brought ya. A horse is a horse, of course of course... I was raised on Mister Ed and even I was able to figure out why the horse hurt Nietzsche's feelings so much. I'm a low bar -- you say so yourself, i'm just ass cuz i'm not a glossy enough toy manufacturer -- and i'm just a faggot --

So if you can't even do better than me, somebody who's brain was fried on Mister Ed, and I know I easily know better than you -- how am I supposed to respect you?

That's exactly the sort of scene my grandfather would have thought was funny, probably.

Anyhow, when Nietzsche cries for a guinea pig, I'll actually respect him. I cry for guinea pigs. It's a sign of strength.

You don't understand these things because you're cucked into the opposite and you're coming at me like a kid SO WHAT IF HE CRIED HE WAS STRONG NO NIETZSCHE WAS TRONG VALUEABLE LIKE JESUS PLEASE HANKG PLEASE DON"T REJECT TWIN PEAKS AND NIETZSHE PLEASE DON"T REJECT THE PRODUCT, HUMANS DONT MATTER BUT THE PRODUCT DOES

i don't think you know shit, kid.

i matter more than the product and look hw you treated me? You gonna break that Twin Peaks DVD over your knee? Rip out some pages from Nietzsche? Nah, you hate humans and love the product, just like your empire programmed ya to do.

That's why I get a kick out of talking about cocktails at Bowdie's. You're not a man. I as a man have bought other men drinks. Other men have bought me drinks. Same with dinners. This is the adult realm, which you're a selfish toddler insulated in a world of video games and tv screens and have no interest in. So don't pretend I'm the threat to men. The threat is you, who would reduce them to hateful play-at-home genoicide muppets like Jordan Peterson did, thinking that saying the magic word MALE PRIDE makes everything unicorns and rainbows for the 46 presidents. You are so lost.

Honestly, you should go get your plumbing license. I've lost faith in your future as a teacher but a plumber is a respectable job that's often trashed and you'd learn how to man up from it while making more money than i've ever made, that's for sure. Just an idea -- it would build more manly character than trying to Bugs Bunny me would. If you keep trying to Bugs Bunny me rather than buy me a drink, you're getting some man essence out of me but remaining in Bugs Bunny mode. Can you see that? Try and hasten the process by getting your plumbing license.

Burroughs was an exterminator. I worked in industrial facilities. What's your excuse?

Then use your first check to buy me a gift card for a nice porterhouse.

Being a baby isn't self-defence. I don't give a shit that you despair. Despair all you want. I love despair. Despair more rather than being a dumb pufferfish trying to don an American shell. It's the xenomorph of Trump's in you that tells you you can't despair. You're speaking to Trump, not me. You've got us confused.

It's not self-defence to get on this straight white male crap. Be a man about it. Burroughs went undercover as a straight white man but stood up forcefully against conservatism. I don't expect you to be a trust fund baby and Harvard educated like he was, so of course you can't figure this shit out on your own, but I will not purple pill or red pill myself for you, and I'm sorry that my red pill excited you so much that you tried to copycat it due to your factory settings.

I will not status quo myself fo you. I do not care about the Nazi's feelings because he does not care about mine and he's a total joke. Just because you are sympathetic towards privilege does not mean I will be -- even if there were no identity politics in the world, I'd be avoiding that guy like the plague for his immature jeering at me. I like men, kid. The only reason I interacted with him at all and was nice to him at all is because he's clearly so fucking stupid and shit for brains that I could only feel sympathy for him most of the time no matter how much he spewed his cucked desires. But you can only take so much of babysitting little Adolf before you want to say, um, grow the fuc up, you're an idiot?

I don't give a shit, kid, if you use this much force. It's not 'taking responsible and it's not courage'. It's just the dumb and ruthless knuckleads I grew up saturated in, and I found a way out while you and they didn't. It's not my bag, baby:

You think these bitches aren't taking responsibility for their use of force and targeting it better than you? They take responsiblity on national tv all the time and they did a better job at targeting it than you because they made it happen in front of a national audience (I know you're very big on tv producers being better than real life humans, so obviously this is better, right?)

You think I'm supposed to care when every trick you got already exists in cowtown Wisconsin and on the Springer show? This whole 'i take control of my mental illness and choose which ones i have' thing is so pathetically millennial male.

and who's doing it -- who's PATHOLOGISING the millennial male? Is it women? No, it's you, rhadpsoding enthsuiastically about your metnal illness while crying like a baby that anybody might think ya autistic and it's women to blame, oh it's women to blame

seriously, you sound like my dad. it's so square, this women to blame trope. Turn on Fox News and you'll hear yourself talking back to ya, kid, but I can't live like an American cuck.

you know how you respect Camille Paglia and how outraged she was at Slutwalk, like, is this a game? yes, it is a game. it's a game and the adults aren't really amused cuz we're looking for Women and looking for Men. I don't want to hear the game from Millennial Male #7 on how they take control of their mental illnesses and it's actually an Ubermensch, i mean, a superman power, and ... fuck, i am so tired of that game.

i mean ho hum, when you have to deal with it in the family even cause a stepbro got some issues, customosiable mental illnesses are just -- are we done with this yet? Because there's a nice steak and cocktail and conversation with a grown adult with my name on it, and i'll get it myself if I have to.

i don't believe in amateur power hour with mental illnesses. it's an American trend the world does not share. the grown adults of the world are operating on an adult plane of existence. this is serious business, not 'lets make Play Doh out of the mind'.

if you can't control your hatred of women and want to blame them for something, you can start with ADHD and melatonin in the youth, which is what's really going on -- but most of those doctors are the ones in charge, mind you, and those are male.

what i'm trying to teach you here is you actually have to care about things to be an adult. you actually have to know things called facts.

you can't just pull shit out of your ass to confirm Trump's agenda that women are ruining the men it's all so sad and then spout off some lying conspiracy -- i mean fuq go join Q Anon if you want, it's all a cucked game to those people too, you'd fit right in.

you think i'm cheating cuz i 'shot' Nietzsche (uh, you're the homicide-talking one, dummy) or shot you? Every word i said was accurate to my knowledge.

i'm not into trans-religious nationalism, kid. it's unappealing to me, being so clearly an attempt to TRUMP others on your part.

your intentions are not good and therefore the execution is easy to reveal for what it is: square.

it's not my problem you need to feel patriotic to feel good. even my Republican wrestling coach was critical of nationalism.

i'm not into patriotism. civil service? Great. that's really what our government is supposed to be about, you know. Civil service -- government helping the public. Helping others -- a foreign concept to you. But as a cuck, you cuck yourself into supporting it as the king of the mountain Shitpile game Trump made it into, so I'm not in your game here, which is just a cucked game.

German culture isn't noisy or metal, kid. Barbaric, stupid, loud? Sure. Not as barbaric, stupid and loud as American culture, tho.

Maybe stop being so subby for that Nazi and you'll stop cucking yourself to his idiocy so much. Check out how much the Irish invented per capita compared to the Germans. You have no clue where technological innovation comes from, and neither does he because neither of you are Men. Even dumbass America invented a technological mountain more than Germany ever did. You know nothing and should pick up some nonfiction books if you want to ever stand a chance of talking about the world you live in like a Man instead of rolling around the fun of Play Doh sculptin' of mental illness trends and women-blaming.

At least you used the Mandela effect correctly and at least you tried. You should just stamp that on all your posts if you're going to continue down a cucked road. It's truth in advertising, and being so full of advertisements for yourself, it's the proper disclaimer.

I bet it felt very Bugs Bunny exciting for you to write that, feeling very Wascally, but you'll know you're starting to man up (and i doubt you ever will much) when being wascally and cartoonish loses some of its appeal and the ways you're wasting your life trying to be a cartoon rabbit all the time start to get weary. I get it, though, Trump pulls his limited energy even at 77 out of how giddy it makes him to act Wascally. My dad's the same way. As a cuck, it very well could be the way you go through life for 50 more years, but it's not going to make a man out of you.
