Unpopular opinion but Proshippers really need to stop calling antis nazis or KKK or totalitarians or whatever. Those are widely different beliefs. Like I just saw a post calling antis nazis and uh….no. Not in the least. Not everyone that disagrees with you, or doesn’t like you, is a nazi.

You can call out shitty behavior without going to extremes.

I can't find the issue this is from, just people repeating it without citation, but I'm not feeling good about the odds of this storyline caring about Joe Robertson at all

I hesitate to speak up b/c I’m white but sometimes I want to shake white antis by the shoulders and be like ‘do you realize you’re joking about the kkk? Like are you aware you are making a kkk joke? Are you aware you’re making light of the kkk’

Like Dream treated the subject with the seriousness it deserved. And I hate that white people are making kkk jokes under the guise of holding Dream accountable. Like hold yourself accountable

Dream takes racism seriously they don’t. Okay and the crux of the matter is what Dream did is Google mlg edit and slap it onto a video. Now if someone today takes a screenshot and shares it they are being racist. They themselves are joking about the KKK. Same with calling it a fancam.

The person to blame is not whoever originally made the edit but in the case of the mlg cooking video Dream. And in turn whoever shares pictures of it now them. Genuinely so harmful what they’re doing. There is a reason Dream deleted those videos.

So apparently The Boys just shit on all the moments from Superman comics where Superman talks down and comforts suicidal people by having Homelander literally order a suicidal woman to kill herself. What’s next? Are they going to do a “shout-out” to Superman Smashes the Klan by having Homelander murder a Chinese girl while wearing a Klan robe? God, I hate this show.

why do i keep having to see posts where ppl insinuate that tom anderson cares about louis (or has a thing for him 🤢) when he literally calls him a fag pederast satanist, fenwick's thoughts reveal that tom called louis a dumb pimp, he was the one pushing for louis to take the 15% by referring to him as 'the labor', and purposefully pulled louis and lestat from their home so the police could search it? and that's just what i can remember off the top of my head

#is it just bc they gave him some funny lines? get real #also isn't it heavily implied that he's in the kkk? like is that what they were referring to when he mentioned being in the fraternal order #bc when he said that i immediately was like 👀 what???? #i just don't trust when white men say they're in a fraternal order it's a red flag #anyway if you say tom anderson is louis' friend i'm blocking you #vampterview

Making a post here as a warning.

Dead ass don’t go on roblox mic up 17+ if ya got thin skin. As stupid as that sounds don’t go on there. There’s a rampant racist problem with people wearing full on KKK avatars, people yelling out slurs, homophobia/ transphobia galore and so on. Even religious nuts who will make stands to force their religion down peoples throats.

You may be asking yourself. Why do you go on there?

Cause despite the toxicity it can be fun at times. And without a few good kind hearted people on there would be no safe spot for people to talk to, chill or hang out there. I’m a very social person so servers like this are the most active and the best for me to access. I also in general got thicker skin, am able to tune out that stuff and/ or report it, sadly am used to that kind of behavior thanks to some not so great people in my life.

If you want to help fix the problems there- make sure you’re at least above the age of 17- I would recommend 18 or older as it is extremely unsafe there for minors. (Penis avatars, sex jokes, etc). You can help the place by reporting people and for those more skillfull than myself, can expose these people for their atrocious acts.

Not tagging as Roblox as I don’t want kids finding this post and then going “huhuhu yeah I am gonna break the rules” cause it has happened more than once.

If you’re fighting for children’s rights and safety and you’re also fighting to normalise and romanticise child abuse in fiction or real life, you are not fighting for children’s rights.

Children are an oppressed class and the media is used to reinforce oppression and bigoted mindsets against minorities.

Fiction is one of the most powerful tools of propaganda we have. Art can and has changed societies.

If your art is validating bigoted ideologies, you are validating bigoted ideologies.

It might not be real, but your audience is.

​It’s fine and helpful to discuss oppression and other upsetting themes in art, but to validate them is a different story.

I shouldn’t be surprised either, but the eagerness the imperials have to hang people chills me too the bone.

Because it’s a control thing. And that imperial officer admitted it. They know Paaks did nothing. They know. But they’re still comfortable taking a life just to “show them who’s boss”.

It’s disgusting. But it’s real. When the empire references Nazi Germany and the KKK at the same time like this, it is made very clear. And I’m glad that the show leans into the historical intentions that were laid out at Star Wars’ inception.

It has never been shown this harshly or directly but it’s good that it does because it doesn’t shy away. This is bold to do. It is sad to see these actions on screen, but they hold weight because the disregard for life mirrors reality in a lot of ways and places. Both past and definitely present.

people on twitter are talking about how the kkk video was bad’s video and that bad, as an adult at the time, should’ve known the editing was racist and wrong and done something about it/not let it be uploaded. i havent really thought about it like that before, but i guess its true. dream was a dumb ignorant kid and bad was an adult. what do you think?

i saw some Boobers saying that really off take imo. Bad is not and never was Dream's actual father in case people got confused by Dream's tweets. Dream is 22 now and took full responsibility for the edit. it helps no one to try to figure out who else we can point fingers at for something that would never be replicated now. Trying to retroactively tie in Bad and whoever the hell else to the blame is weird. And I know Dream would never accept that take because again he took full responsibility for it and apologized for it.

Jared’s new tattoo reminds me of all those cops that get tattoos with “hidden” meanings when it’s really just a nazi or kkk symbol. Let’s assume it is meant to be a Texas pride tattoo. Idc if you’ve lived in Texas your entire life and love it there now is not really the time to be proud of Texas. They’re one of the most anti-abortion and anti-LBTQ+ states. And couldn’t he just get a map of the state of Texas or something?

Yeah, those are called dogwhistles, most people overlook it but people in the group it's meant for understand it. And yeah there's gotta be more than that one tattoo that he could use for his texas pride

#just to be clear i'm not saying he's member of the kkk or a nazi #but it does come across very much as an alt-right dogwhistle #and i say that as someone who's grown up with two alt-right alex jones listening parents who only associate with people like them #tw nazi mention #ask #anon #jared padalecki

In my own experience as a Jewish Leftist, and corroborated by the similar experiences of other Jewish Leftists, there are, roughly speaking, five to six broad categories of Leftists in their attitudes towards Jews. This is a tangential categorization in terms of precise political affiliation; in other words, one's position in these categories is not dependent on what precise type of Leftist/Progressive an individual is.

Type 1: Open And Unapologetic Jew Haters

These Leftists hate Jews and don't try to hide it at all. According to them, Jews are the Problem, and they know what type of Solution they want enacted.

The archetypal example that I'll currently use is Cynthia McKinney, former US Congresswoman and US Green Party presidential candidate, who, well...

But this is also the class of Leftists who say that there is no room for Judaism in their ideal, imagined perfect world, that they picture everyone assimilating and giving up their ethnic and cultural identities to just be "human", and often single out Judaism as a particular problem in that regard.

Type 2: Closeted Knowing Jew Haters

These Leftists hate Jews, know that they hate Jews, but know that it's bad optics to openly praise Hitler or cozy up to the KKK to satisfy their hatred of Jews, so they try to find the barest veneer of plausible deniability to hide behind. "Anti-zionism" is a particular favorite on the Left, but the hatred has a way of slipping past the mask when they get questioned.

A classic example here is the Boston Mapping Project, who literally made up a list of every Jewish institution in Boston, Mass, on suspicion of them being "Zionist"--including elder homes, Jewish high schools, and Kindergartens, and including scary "links" on the map to various government agencies, no matter how tenuous or outright imaginary, thereby invoking old conspiracy tropes about "Secret Jewish Control of the Government". (And BDS, as the parent organization, also gave the lie that they're just antizionist, not antisemitic, when they disavowed the Mapping Project for bad optics, not the rank antisemitism and conspiratorial thinking they were promoting). Another example would be the organizers of the Chicago Dyke March, who explicitly expelled Jews from the March and crowed about "zio tears" (which is a slur originally used by the KKK, no less).

However on first encounter, Type 2 are indistinguishable from and camouflaged by...

Type 3: Undereducated And Unknowing Traffickers In Antisemitism

These Leftists don't hate Jews per se... they're just unaware of the deep antisemitic history of repeating claims that "Jews have too much power", or stating that the Holocaust was "White on White violence", or that "Jews are just White People from Europe", or any of a host of other antisemitic beliefs that are endemic on the Left. They're initially indistinguishable from Type 2, as they say the same things, and can only be told apart by their reactions; a Type 3 will go, "Oh, I didn't know and I'll try to learn!", while a Type 2 will typically double down, or let the mask slip in some other way.

The problem is that, from the perspective of Jews, Type 2 and Type 3 are indistinguishable from each other at first glance, and rather than try to engage and risk the emotional harm, a lot of Jews tend to write off all of them as Type 2, and there's a lot of debate on the ratios between the two.

Also worthy of mention, as a midpoint between Type 2 and Type 3 are:

Type 2.5: Openly Antisemitic "I'm Not An Antisemite, I Just Refuse To Learn, Listen, Or Let Jews Define Antisemitism"

As a midpoint between types, these Leftists openly traffic in antisemitic motifs, conspiracies, and attitudes, all the while insisting that they're not antisemitic. They're a midpoint between types 2 and 3 because they've had plenty of time and opportunity to learn about the bigoted attitudes they're espousing, but refuse to do so... but at the same time, they genuinely seem to think that they're not antisemitic. They just think that there's a vast Jewish conspiracy out to get them personally, or any of a number of other antisemitic beliefs, and refuse to accept or learn that what they're saying is antisemitic. They can believe that they themselves are not all they want, saying that Jews have too much money and power and run the world's politics is still trafficking in antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The archetypal example of this type, assuming we can take his word for it, is Roger Waters. Waters is openly and explicitly antisemitic, saying that there is a widespread conspiracy of Jews running the world's politics... but he has been insisting for over 40 years that he's just "antizionist, not antisemitic."

But these are just the outspoken ones. None of them would get anywhere without the tacit support of...

Type 4: The Silent Majority

These Leftists are, being blunt, hypocritical cowards. They don't want to get involved in issues on antisemitism. When a Leftist Jew is being harassed by one of Types 1 to 3, they don't speak up, they don't get involved, they just say nothing.

Maybe they agree with one of the above types. Maybe they just don't want to get involved. Maybe they're afraid of seeming sympathetic to Israel. Maybe they're afraid of getting the social backlash that the Jew is experiencing. But ultimately, their motivations don't matter, their actions do—and their actions give tacit social support to the antisemite in the Leftist group, not to the Jew being harassed and chased out.

And the reason they're hypocritical cowards?

Well, if your ideology claims that you want a better life for everyone and social progress and being against racism and bigotry... but yet they don't speak up when it's happening right in front of them...

Well.

That says a lot, doesn't it? Both on what their ideals actually mean to them... and how highly they value Jews. And we know that it is possible, because of...

Type 5: The Pro-Jewish Leftist

These Leftists are, in my experience, a minority outside of Leftist Jews, but they do exist among non-Jewish Leftists. They stand up to Types 1, 2, and 3 when they express antisemitic views, and try to shame and cajole Type 4 into standing up as well.

And, just to point out how normalized antisemitism is on the Left...

Some people in this category might object to being labeled as "Pro-Jewish", as if they're biased for Jews. But I have to ask... do you think that they would also object to being labeled "Pro-LGBTQ"?

Thoughts on Lena

The first time I played through Disco Elysium, I talked to Lena right after Kim joined my party and immediately got the dialogue option where she says something racist.

Because of that, I was iffy on her from the beginning. But I’ve seen a lot of people say that they actually didn’t know about this dialogue or that they didn’t get it on their playthrough. Whenever I see this dialogue mentioned, there are always a lot of people saying how disappointed they are that she would say something like that because she seems like a nice old lady.

I think that this moment is actually one of the most important depictions of racism in the game. Besides this one instance, Lena is friendly toward you and Kim. If you call her out on the implication that Seolites are a different species than her and Harry, she basically says that being a different species isn't a bad thing because white people have earwax that smells and Seolites don't.

The whole interaction is such a small moment within the game, and a small part of her character. It’s so easy to miss. And that is exactly how racism works.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been talking to an older person who seems kind and then all of a sudden they say something extremely bigoted out of the blue. I actually got the idea to write this after the nice old lady who is a custodian at my job said something transphobic in front of me and it totally broke my heart.

It’s easy to condemn a cross-burning KKK member or a homophobic preacher who says that all LGBTQ+ people will burn in hell. It’s a lot harder for people to condemn bigotry when it comes from people that they otherwise see as kind.

But most bigots are not like Gary the Cryptofascist or Measurehead. Most of them are like Lena. They are the uncles who think that “if people just cooperated with the police then they wouldn’t be shot.” They are the classmates who make fun of the professor’s accent. They are docile old ladies who think that Seolites are not as human as white people are.

And that makes it harder for people to see the bigotry within themselves. People can easily tell themselves things like “I don’t want all trans people to die, so I’m not transphobic. I’m just worried for the children.” When the media only portrays bigotry in its most extreme forms, it is hard to see that being a little bit racist is still being racist.

And this is even more interesting because of her and Morrell’s friendship with Gary. He is a self-proclaimed fascist with an extensive collection of racist mugs, but Lena and Morrell still keep him around, presumably because they are willing to overlook his “differing political opinions” because they think that he is a good person in other ways. And because his fascist ideas do not affect people that look like them.

So yeah, I want to see more people talking about how fascinating Lena and Morrell are as depictions of racism in Disco Elysium.
