#no thoughts just bigotry

[uncanny-tranny]

It's always weird when people are like, "Oh, you being [x minority] made me stop hating/reconsider my bigotry toward [minority]!"

Not only is it weird from the standpoint of "wow, you hated me?" but it's weird to know that you displayed some type of behaviour that proved your humanity to them, and that if you stop displaying that behaviour for any reason, it's possible they'll just slide back into their hatred because they haven't fundamentally challenged why they hated you and your people.

It's fine to grow out of your bigotry, yes, but I'm completely understanding of people being weary of those who are so brazen about how much they hated people like you.

#politics #ask to tag (genuine) #like i've expressed this before and it was like people were assuming i was ungrateful for their growth??? #but it's like... /have/ they outgrown their bigotry if they're almost jovial about just how hateful they were toward minority groups? #i feel like true growth from bigotry is understanding how harmful bigotry is and how you played into that... #...no that doesn't mean groveling about your past and performatively 'apologizing'... #...it means challenging the beliefs you held and learning how to spot them if they try festering back in your mind... #...because groveling isn't the same as growth and neither is pretending like past bigotry is amusing or funny or quirky... #...in my mind both those thought processes still center the 'reformed' bigot and not the people they hurt and held bigoted beliefs about... #...i think both those things are selfish and show (to me) that they may well do still hold those same bigotries but they're hiding them... #...and it will only be a matter of time before that bigotry festers and takes its mask off... #...like that is PRECISELY why bigotry against ~bad people~ is JUST AS BAD as bigotry toward ~good minorities~... #...like transphobia against a trans person who is a terrible excuse for a human is still transphobia. it doesn't matter how bad they are #(just as an example of what i mean)

imagine having someone that competent as PM

#im obsessed with the 'elevator pitch' quality of this moment dlkjsf #dw #dw meta #i know this thought kinda contradicts the bigotry simm!master is canonically supposed to have #but it would still be really funny / cathartic if he interacted with the current torys and went like ''actually that's too far'' #one more moment for the 'is it a scifi dystopia or just the 2020s' theme of s3

i love you azura books i love you luz's nerdiness given prominence throughout the show i love you "luzura" i love you amity and luz bonding over a "cringe" book series i love you lumity azura/hecate cosplay i love you young queer couple cosplaying as a queer couple that really inspired them as kids and helped bring them together i love you beautiful tribute to the power of representation in media as shown via a latina girl adoring and being heavily influenced by a book series starring a latina witch who she can see herself in i love you varied and beautiful discussions of representation in a show with heaps and heaps of just that :')

in the same vein, i love you cosmic frontier i love you chief engineer o'bailey-hunter parallels i love you gus captain avery cosplay i love you gus helping hunter confront his identity as a grimwalker by introducing him to a series with a character he can see himself in i love you star trek deep space nine reference i love you black boy cosplaying as a black space captain i love you camila connecting with luz using her own nerdy childhood obsession i love you power of stories and, again, representation in media i love you the owl house's constant message that representation matters i love you i love you💙💙💙💙

#the owl house #listen. i have SOOO many thoughts on the narrative weight of the azura books #and how it's a casual reminder of how important representation is. luz gets to see herself as a witch #fighting evil and saving the day #and this character also has a queer-coded relationship with her female rival #which undoubtedly helps luz as a young bi girl as well!!! #and also cosmic frontier like... it's a bit more of a joke but still #hunter finding comfort and solace in a character going through the same things as him. gus not forcing the grimwalker topic #and instead trying to help hunter come to terms with his identity in a gentler way. AND the captain of the ship in cosmic frontier is black #just like gus. i know rep probably isn't a problem in the boiling isles #since yknow. bigotry-free fantasy world and all #but it definitely is in the human realm! and it's good for gus to get what he can there. yknow? #also the reason i say it's a ds9 reference in particular is just cause i'm a stan. it's an educated guess. #point 1: it features a black captain called avery. ds9 has a black captain played by a man called avery. #point 2: it features a chief engineer called o'bailey. ds9's chief engineer is called o'brien. same kind of irish name. #point 3: it was written in the 90s like how ds9 aired in the 90s :]

my favorite thing about retcon vriska is how one moment she’s talking about how tavros deserved everything she did to him for being a lowblood and then being punched by john instead of killed magically made her think the hemospectrum is 8ullshit and we’re just supposed clap because lesbians or something

#like i thought we all agreed that vriskas bigotry was something inextricable from her particularly hardcore upbringing in alternia. #with the. child eating monster custodian and all. and the systems in place that rewarded her for ruthlessness and domination #pre retcon vriska clearly struggles to grow past what alternia made her but retcon vriska is just like oh i’m good. i’m a marxist now btw #if you were wondering. because my character development happened through no dialogue canonized fanart montages #hs//

thinking abt how that one person made the whole zionist conspiracy abt spotify wrapped and ppl rightfully called them out on it and made posts abt how that's, well, a conspiracy with antisemitic undertones. then someone made a post like "omg we get it it sounds like an antisemitic conspiracy w/e. cut them some slack, op-" then listed a reason that is perfectly valid to cause one to make a mistake. HOWEVER the thing that still bothers me about it is that when i saw that post defending them, the original conspiracy post was still up, not even edited in any way to point out that it's wrong (and i know this bc i got it in my fyp like, an hour beforehand - so it was the original post, not a reblog). idk if ppl sent them hate over this - i think that's wrong no matter what, but esp bc from what i gathered they're just a teenager - but like. if you spread antisemitism you should at least delete it 😭😭😭😭 i don't expect or want some written apology but you should at least cut the source off dude. that's like the bare minimum. two button presses. that's it

#sorry for sounding mean but like both of them are dumb. #if you fall into antisemitic thought patterns you should try to unlearn them just like any other type of bigotry dude #and you can start by. yknow. not letting it spread further #anyway yeah this has been sitting in my head annoying me for awhile now. #outdated event but i needed to scrape it off the sides of my brain and let it out ig. #they may have already deleted it by now hopefully.

Reblog my posts about antisemitism you cowards!!!!

#by my posts i mean the posts that i reblog #like #whenever i put some type of awareness post on my blog i always have a few people reblog them #but when i put stuff about antisemitism on my blog it feels like i have no followers at all #nobody reblogs those posts and idk if people are scared or whatever but really that is kind of strange #you have so many awareness posts on your blog and then you can't even dare to reblog or even just like mine that are about antisemitism #why is that?? #like seriously #i notice the difference and i think it's kind of telling #btw if you are one of my mutuals who does actually somethimes reblog those posts then please know that i am very grateful!! #lea's random thoughts #antisemitism #btw if you're like a fandom blog and don't post any stuff like that at all on your blog then this post isn't about you #this is more about the people who do put a lot of awareness stuff and stuff about bigotry and racism on their blogs but then completely #ignore all the posts that have to do with antisemitism

tiredly accepting that "tma" and "tme" are terms people are using even though I think that labelling people as "exempt" from an axis of oppression based on the magic of their identity is not the correct target is petty and misguided at best

#yeah yeah I know I know. I'm transfem i'm ''tma'' or whatever don't jump down my throat because i'm not in your shitty club #I just think maybe we need more solidarity and less rigid delineation of who's allowed to be hurt by bigotry. fucking sue me #problemnyatic discourse #problemnyatic thoughts

not to be a hater i was just thinking about this recently. the biphobia in Glee is so inconsistent with how its addressed.

like i’m pretty sure the ONLY person who ever gets called out for saying anything remotely biphobic is Kurt (which like im glad bc it was a shitty thing to say. tho i think kurt antis use it to frequently paint this rhetoric that kurt is a bad person bc of one (1) shitty thing he said)

meanwhile santana can say shitty things about bisexuality bc shes mad that brittany is dating sam and thats apparently fine???? she really has the idea that brittany is betraying her for penis which is bizarre. also i feel like she enabled dani’s biphobia as well.

i love santana, but i feel like this issue is heavily glossed over by fans while kurt’s comment is apparently bad enough to crucify him :/

I know we've talked about it before but I also just thought of it again recently. Bc there was a poll with Here Comes The Sun and someone in the tags was like "I'll vote for anything over Dani's biphobic ass" and it's like well baby girl Santana's biphobic ass is literally standing right next to her. And people sure don't have a problem voting for Santana's songs despite how blatantly biphobic she also is

And also transphobic, we can throw that in there, bc it's always about Penis and Boys hand in hand like there's no other option. Never mind Unique has been on the show for over a season, let's keep equating dick with gross boys and pussy with beautiful lesbian 100% pure sapphic goddesses 😍😍 Bleh it's like they tried to cram in every last shred of offensive sexual language they could think of into one two minute scene

BUT it's not like I'm judging that specific tagger, or anyone else who dislikes Dani. Bc at least Santana is a character with a million other things going for her besides the worst things she's said (exactly like Kurt hi) whereas Dani had like ten lines in her time on the show and half of them were "sapphic goddess" and "i love lady parts" barf

"She enabled Dani's biphobia as well" yeah literally. She could've just said "I was dating a girl and it didn't work out and we broke up" but she specifically threw "and she was bi" into the middle of it like that's part of the reason they broke up lmao. Santana, who tells Brittany that it's okay for her to date someone new, boy or girl, just to throw a fit when Brittany ends up dating Sam and makes it into some weird thing about her need for dick and how she's Less Than bc she's bi. And telling that to a potential new partner so she can reinforce her shitty stereotypes by also being gross about bi people (: Amazing

And anyway bringing it back to Kurt and double standards but like. That's pretty much the only offensive thing Kurt ever said lmao. Like yeah he said some dumb or thoughtless things here and there but if you take out that one glaring fuck up, you're not really left with anything that bad. Whereas if you extract Santana's biphobia from the equation, you're still left with six seasons of racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, fatphobia...

So yeah :) Double standards, anon, double standards x

#glee #asks #my thoughts #anonymous #kurt hummel #anti santana lopez #anti brittana #anti dani #biphobia #transphobia #but of course i still like santana #she's like my sixth favorite character lol #and i dont even hate dani #i just scrub her clean of her bigotry and shape her into someone completely new #like people do with *gets snipered before i can finish my sentence*

no one likes “proof or it didn’t happen” people but some of y’all will act like someone asking for literally any shred of evidence to support a claim means they’re evil and taking the other side or some shit and it’s stupid

#sorry if this is incoherent #but y’all are annoying #like yeah if you call someone lesbophobic i want proof #if you call someone racist i want proof #if you call someone anything that isn’t just your personal opinion i want some fuckin evidence #because people on the internet have a bad habit of trying to get others to take their side so they make up all sorts of shit to settle some #personal vendetta #even if it means raking some random persons name through the mud #over some unfounded allegation #and this idea that you’re either with someone or against them and questioning allegations means taking the other side has led to a culture #where no one speaks up or questions why we’re gathering pitchforks out of fear of being the next pariah #like i want more information not because i want to defend the person in question and not because i don’t think bigotry isn’t a big deal #it’s because if these accusations came from baseless mudslinging i want to know because i don’t want to be the kind of person who attacks or #commits libel with the masses without an ounce of thought for myself #and i also want to distance myself from people who ruin peoples lives as pastime or as a way to justify their own personal feelings toward #a person #it is far too easy to turn ‘i don’t like this person’ into ‘this person is a pedophile’ or something on the internet #so sorry for not just taking your word for it #‘just trust me bro’ is not a good defense

I get a lot of posts about Jewish issues in my recs and every time i read one there's some absolute fuckhead in the notes I need to block/report for spouting the nastiest shit i've ever seen. and thats just kind of fucked up tbh

#bigotry mention #idk i just think thats fucked up!!!! dont do that shit!! #5 am thoughts time ig

[crazycatsiren]

You ever stop for a second and think about the fact that how pathetic bigots would have to be to think sending anonymous hate messages on the internet is going to make people stop caring about other people.

guys i think this website is recreating misogyny

#i cant say specifics of what the media is or who the character is but like. if theres a character (who happens to be a woman) who is never #directly shown on-screen. but shes absolutely integral to the plot. and it's all with an extremely serious tone. maybe headcanoning them as #a silly ditzy bimbo wifey who believes in astrology and doesnt know anything about computers and her only interests are animals and plants #and taking care of her husband and cleaning the house and she also only wears bright pink and dyes her hair bright pink...... #maybe. just maybe. thats fuckin awful?!?!? 💀💀💀💀 #IM GOING INSANE HERE. LIKE GOD DAMN I THIUGHT I COULD TRUST TUMBLR USERS ABOUT THIS MEDIA TOO. I WAS SO WRONG. BLOCKED INSTANTLY. #also im not even going to begin to tackle the casual whitegirl racism involved with the interests listed for this character. like idk people #loooove to be vaguely spiritual without respecting a single culture who actually does these practices. 😀. #but im so mad like. i cant even say shit like 'ummm think about this for a sec!!' because the OP clearly put tons of time and effort into #their insanely misogynistic post. multiple drawings lined and full colored. like. they thought about this and thought it was amazing. 😐 #anyway... ive noticed lately that a lot of people think misogyny is a dying bigotry or that its 'not as serious' as other forms of hatred? #but sexism is a very real systemic and individual issue. drawing cismenkissing.png doesnt auto-clear the sexism allegations 🫢 #anis gaymer moments #ok sorry for the long rant im done now i prommy

i genuinely think it’s healthy to have at least one place where we can speak our mind freely and be “offensive”

as much as i want everyone to feel included and comfortable, i genuinely think the constant speech and thought-policing our society is inflicting on us is actually harming us mentally

i don’t think it’s healthy that all of us have to muzzle ourselves in fear of offending people

#just a thought i have #of course i don’t think bigotry is good #i just think that us never speaking our minds in fear of judgment doesn’t help addressing our issues #so at least in private it’s good i think to have people you can be yourself with and feel no shame about it #as long as you’re working on your issues and flaws #azu's rambles

The big failing with the Dancestors is they were made to mock the fanbase's Headcanons and misinterpretations of the trolls, but not all of them, and it's kinda obvious where Hussie started to run out of ideas for them after coming up with Meenah/Kurloz/Aranea

Mmm… That’s a little bit inaccurate, I wouldn’t really word it as “making fun of peoples Headcanons and Misinterpretation,” I’d personally word it more like “Parodying Popular Fanon and Certain Aspects of Online Culture and Fandom.”

I know that seems like a very pedantic thing to point out, and it kind of is, but I think saying “Headcanons and Misinterpretations” is ignoring the fact that some- not all- of it was kind of an accurate parody, lol, and makes it sound like he was ribbing on random, harmless ideas, rather than the actual cesspit of the Homestuck Fandom and Online Culture at the time.

With Kankri, a lot of online Social Justice at the time was, unfortunately, really clueless, really online teens with Conservatism and Good Christian Values far more deeply ingrained in their mentality than they thought it was. Meulin felt like an average Fandom/Fangirl blog, but was also ribbing on just how hard people infantilized Nepeta and boiled her entire personality down into Shipping, and the fact that people basically made Nepeta into a Fujoshi. Cronus’s whole character is a response to the fact that people really, really, really unfairly demonized Eridan, a 13 year old, over the stupidest shit imaginable, and often called him “The Worst Character in Homestuck” by making an Ampora who is actually the worst fucking character in Homestuck. Mituna is the Homestuck fandom that was prevalent on 4Chan’s /co/ board, and they really did just fucking type like that. To be fair, 4Channers really did deserve to get a little bit bullied back then.

I don’t think that the Alpha Trolls’s “biggest failing” was the fact that they were making fun of the Fandom, personally. I’m not really bothered by that, all things considered? Judging by my own experiences at the time in the Homestuck Fandom, and the Internet in general, it was pretty accurate and pretty fair, though I know that this perspective isn’t exactly the popular one.

It’s… A priorities thing, for me. I think the biggest failing with them is that Hussie and his buddies took every opportunity they could to mock any and all Minorities, especially ones that they did not understand. They even went after Systems, man. I’m, like, significantly less concerned with the “Mocking the Fandom” thing than I am the whole “Mocking Systems” thing, and the “Being Severely, Uncomfortably Racist” thing.

Also, Meenah and Aranea are built different because Hussie really likes Vriska- and I mean really, really likes Vriska- and the “Vriska” status applies both to Meenah and Aranea. Meenah in behavior, and Aranea by blood.

#shrugs #i don’t know dude #these are just my thoughts #I’m not really concerned with the ‘mocking the fandom’ thing at all. what’s hussie gonna do. shoot me? lmao #I’m more made really uncomfortable by the whole ‘blatant bigotry’ thing. they mocked online culture with the beta trolls too so #i don’t really give a shit and I think that’s small potatoes in comparison to whatever is going on with Horuss and Damara. you know ? #homestuck #homestuck meta #homestuck fandom #alpha trolls #kankri vantas #meulin lejion #cronus ampora #mituna captor #meenah peixes #aranea serket #homestuck.pdf #nekro.pdf #nekro.sms

already had to block someone, i hope nobody else is an asshole enough to reblog that post going around making fun of someone with psychosis being triggered by ai art specifically the gay sex cats. "but gay sex cats so silly and harmless!" i dont think you guys actually know what psychosis and unreality means as a trigger for it and either way what are you getting out of making fun of someone for that. you aren't adding anything meaningful to the ai art conversation i just think you wanted to make fun of a psychotic person for experiencing less relatable psychosis symptoms. fuck off

#ableism #ableism tw #ask to tag #sorry that post just really pissed me off. what happened to don't make fun of peoples triggers or #question why something triggers people because we all have vastly different human experiences and you don't fucking know their life and #thought processes and history. #this applies to all triggers beyond obvious bigotry

[sleevebuscemii]

i’ll never understand people’s complete and utter resistance to siding with palestine its so?? like people will be progressive and forward thinking about EVERYTHING but as soon as you ask them to not support isr*el its like all their fucking braincells just drop out of their fucking ears like i get it i know I Know i know why but i will truly never understand it

#this is not a cohesive thought im just rambling #its just bizzare #like yes its personal bigotries and this is Not to negate their autonomy in that bigotry #but its fucking incredible how well western media have them trained its actually disgusting #so called free thinkers when you have to open ur mind the smallest tiniest bit to realize whats right in fucking front of you #the absolute lack of thought the absolute lack of nuance the situation is not even that complicated #its unbelievable #m
