"I hate children because of the recent attacks on female bodily autonomy" children aren't blocking abortion access. children who are in fact disproportionately raped and lack agency or knowledge to know they require and seek reproductive care are the most harmed by such laws.

I love watching Phantom where the Raoul is giving it his all and is trying his best to be a good boyfriend and yet Christine is still visually conflicted on choosing him or the literal murderer that lives underground.

#phantom of the opera #erik/christine #raoul/christine #christine daae #we’re two murders in and she’s still like ‘idk he makes a good case with the music and he has a fat ass’ #its one thing for Raoul to suck and ‘win’ because the bar is low #But its an entirely more enjoyable experience when Raoul is legitimately good and yet Christine still wants Erik #It’s so sad but I mean the LAYERS

#uncle raditz #saiyan squad gohan #i hate shading #hate it so much #ok im back to tag rant :D #pretty sure its all stuff iv said before #but i like the idea of raditz still bein a bad person #like theyre all bad people #but hes atleast tryin to be a decent uncle #the bar is on the ground but like hes atleast gonna make sure kiddo is fed #obv i didnt include it but since nappas the only 1 w any experience dealin w kids #i kinda got it in my head that raditz is low key mirroring the way nappa was w him as a kiddo #like callin him raditz the runt #now gohans the runt :U #i mean nappas priority was def vegeta #but like.. nappa mentioned using the dragon balls to revive raditz #and.. ignoring any possible implications.. suggested spawning some new saiyans on earth #since gohan was apparently so strong #point is i think he cares more about the actual survival of saiyans as a people #and that includes keepin kids alive #vegeta on the other hand seems to just like the concept of saiyans as people he was destined to rule over #but hes accepted that theyre all gone and doesnt wanna like engage w any hope of revival #so he just kills em or lets em stay dead cause it was inevitable anyways :U #point is. nappas cool. dragon ball legends said so #saiyan saga vegeta tho.. he needs therapy. hes an ass and i dont like him >:U

women on here argue about what the easiest feminist action could be, ranging from not shaving, not wearing make-up, to stuff like not dating men. in my opinion, there is far easier than those things and someone on here even failed at this extremely easy task: not being friendly with rapists. the bar is so low that a "radfem" on here genuinely tried to argue that she can't just, Not be friends with a rapist. it's one thing to want to fit in via shaving and makeup, or to fear being alone or want romantic companionship, but I Have To Be Friends With A Rapist Or I'll Die Of Loneliness has to be the most pathetic example of non-action that radblr has ever witnessed

#like what next? I need to be with a pornsicko lest i DIE? #the bar is SO LOW ITS SO LOWWW

i not that person that expects their partners to like the same things as them and try not to judge people by their tastes in music esp on dating apps but it's actually so depressing how many queer women i have to swipe on in london cos they make their entire personality being a gaylor or swiftie like i genuinely don't mind if a friend likes her or whatever but if a woman is like making that a key part of her dating profile i gotta be honest with myself and im always going to be looking down on her a bit so im sorry but swipe?? am i terrible person possibly but like can queer women pls get better taste ill accept literally anything else to stan im honestly not that picky just not... that

#my best friend stans gareth gates ffs like the bar is low #my friend at uni was president of swift soc like its fine just on your dating orofile putting like 'must be a fellow swiftie' ick

impressive. just looked at the timkon tag on ao3 and not one fic on the front page today is actually about timkon.

#rimi talks #like... i wasnt expecting much from the timkon tag bc it is after all always a hellscape #but wow! the bar was low and yet... #*dont tell me about filters i know how to use filters thats not the point of this observation #the point is that i think its grating when a ship is treated as just the default setting in the background #like you just HAVE to pair them off even if youre not writing about either of them as characters #this is grating behavior to me. broadly pervasive but grating #anyways im mostly just whining bc im having such an awful fatigue day out of the blue and that makes me grumbly #like i CAN filter and i DO use filters but also the fact that the ship tag is So incredibly unusable bc of default treatment is annoying yk

Saw somebody praising Andor for handling fictional torture well, and I’m sorry but no. No the fuck it didn’t!!!!!!!!

And this is not me dragging the show. I really like the show. Sadly, I even agree that it handles this subject better than most. Which in many ways actually makes me MORE disappointed and depressed, about the fact that 40-odd years ago the OT (which I also like, but lbr the political commentary is not much deeper than a puddle) gave us Leia lying through her teeth with her planet on the line and Han sweating and stumbling and saying “they didn’t even ask me any questions,” and yet today - on a show that is unapologetically on the side of a kid throwing a pipe bomb at the colonial cops - it’s too radical apparently to suggest that torture is really incredibly shit at eliciting useful intelligence, and people on the internet will give you a gold star for doing the bare fucking minimum because sadly it’s still better than what 99% of other narratives manage

#they did do very well up to a point! and then they were like oh this works btw #it’s not just that the isb is high on its own supply (of ideology) and thinks that it works. it actually does work. #M O T H E R F U C K E R #congrats on limping over the low low bar of ‘torture is a display of power and also extremely evil’ i guess #sorry this is a. pet peeve isn’t really a strong enough term #cw torture #andor #my posts

Louis might not be chucking bricks at No. 10, but people are responding like he’s never displayed leftist politics or challenged a government position on anything. He supported demands to the government about a fix for UK touring musician post Brexit and Marcus Rashford’s petition about food insecurity. He fought the police about their social media use in 2018 and criticised the UK government position/support for factory workers in the pandemic. The things he speaks about are usually UK issues and meaningful to him or his family and friends. He’s also most likely to speak when he isn’t working. Also that specific anarchy has a punk anti authoritarian message as well. That statement fits Louis pretty well. He has been a poster boy for not sitting down and shutting up and doing what you’re told since 2012. If he was he probably wouldn’t have a solo career and he definitely wouldn’t have sold out the O2.

I like this point about him speaking out more when he's not working, I think that's a really great and useful observation and makes so much sense. I feel like it makes sense in two ways right now: like first, I don't blame him for not wanting to do things that would jeopardize how beautifully everything is going for him right now after the number of setbacks and troubles he's had to get here, it must feel so precarious. And knowing for a fact that any political statement you make will spawn a dozen tabloid stories and all kinds of outrage is bad enough, but add to that the fact that it's simply impossible to predict which thing will turn into a huge viral mess- it's a lot. And second, he's not just working, he's been on TOUR! I've been around musicians my whole life and one constant is that tour is time outside of normal time and life, it's a bubble, it's only paying attention to right where you are and what's in front of you and the people there with you and everything else is put off and neglected, is for when you get home (and have massive post tour letdown depression and fatigue). I'm not saying he can disconnect with the outside world entirely... but putting everything on pause? I would be surprised if it were any other way, and I would be surprised if he's been following the news and counter news and so forth closely enough to feel comfortable speaking out publicly about anything when it will be so scrutinized and picked apart. I would add to your list supporting the rail strike (something we wouldn't even know about if it hadn't been tossed in as an aside by an interviewer in the print only version of a piece, he didn't post about it or anything) and attending and posting about the BLM protests (not to mention telling people to pirate his stuff come on how punk is that), and I agree he is much more likely to speak out about UK issues which makes sense: most people are most moved by issues that are close to their lives in some way, and it's his brand. And I agree that even though as an anarchist I love talking about what anarchism as a political ideology actually is, the symbol does also have a common meaning in the world as just basically standing for anti-authoritarianism, and Louis as a guy who rejects authority and the status quo is nothing new at all and one of the reasons we love him, and in the last few years I feel like he's been going further in that direction both aesthetically and politically, and we love to see it! Plus he has pretty much always sported this slightly punky aesthetic to some degree, even when he was being dressed up like a little ken doll he snuck in skater looks and indie band tees and so forth (something something it's part of why his fanbase was so primed to love his new sound and it wasn't the risk he feared it was because people were always drawn to him who were already into that aesthetic even when his sound wasn't that yet) it's not like it's just a brand new out of nowhere side of him or something.

#I'm not sure I would include the food petition on the list- I realize the bar is so fucking low #that supporting charities that feed children is considered political #but charity stuff is a different category for me... although rashford's specifically was #basically formed as a loud way of criticizing the govt for not doing more and explicitly linked to that... so yeah nm maybe that does fit i #even though its a charity org #I have actually been thinking s lot about how his footy fandom would be such a good way for him to sneak in some palestine support #he could just like a post by a player you know? instead of saying something #and it would still be a risk and a statement... but also one that could slide in like listen #I like posts by football players every day what? #or even jsut one about it being fucked up that so and so got fired by their club for making statements #so many layers of remove that could be ustilized #anarchism #comrade louis #blah blah blah #PS note for non brits (not that I am) number 10 refers to number 10 downing st the england equivalent of the white house basically so like #the government
