the most unhinged takes from the facebook side of the mad max fandom - feat: this guy's Feelings about furiosa

general content warning for the psychic damage you're about to take: here lies misogyny and missing the point so badly it actually becomes funny

this guy just does. not. quit. he drops a new one of these posts every few days. some people agree with him. some people disagree with him and he argues with them in the comments. and other people respond like this:

#mad max #mad max fury road #furiosa #furiosa: a mad max saga #furiosa a mad max saga #imperator furiosa #old people facebook #i wouldn't interact with the fandom if it was just these folks #thank y'all for being Cool

A hilarious phenomenon of animal misinformation that exists in many parts of the internet is fake/edited bird pictures. Not only does it shock me that people don't realize that the image is of a felt doll, or that the image is obviously edited because the grass in the background is near purple, but people apparently don't think about, or don't already know about cool ass birds and feel the need to make up new shit. I'm sorry but it doesn't get better than wood ducks and sick ass pigeons my guy.

#the people falling for these fake pics arent even old people on facebook anymore #its my friends from high school #half the time i personally know the artist of the dolls too #so i like to subtlely link the artist #not only cuz its art theft cuz im trying to tell people THATS NOT AN ANIMAL WHAT-

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

#and ive heard even dumber origins of the cherokee family myth #such as an ancestor having a silly sounding name so the descendents just go 'oh she mustve been an indian!!!' #i was one of the few people who had my ancestry done on the facebook and had genuine cherokee ancestry #[though i had found it before it was just really validating to get it double checked and i started finding cousins (:] #like. i was told once when i was a kid by my grandma that my dad had cherokee ancestry and i didnt believe her. its wild that so many peopl #will make it a Fixture of their identity [or even just smth they bring up ever] with Zero proof #at least for cherokees from what ive seen its usually considered really disrespectful to claim to have cherokee ancestry without #actually having the documentation [like ancestors on the rolls] #and no a dna test doesnt count. nor does 'my dad is Clearly not white!' or 'high cheekbones' or old family photos or anything #i had this discussion with someone recently whose dad had been calling himself 3/4 native but didnt know exactly what nation ???? hello? #and its like... sorry but ur dad is like. italian lol. #[and blood quantum is bullshit anyway im tired of the 'im 1/16 cherokee' comments its dumb #cherokee nation does not have a blood quantum requirement. its pointless bringing it up in the discussion of who is or isnt cherokee] #also mandatory disclaimer that im reconnecting. i didnt grow up connected to the culture of even knowing my ancestry #this is all from my looking into this stuff over the past year or so. i cant claim to be an authority over anything regarding this #this is p much all my repeating things ive heard said by people who know a lot more than i do haha #man. and this isnt even starting to get into the fake tribe stuff. the only legit cherokee groups are the 3 federally recognized bands #cherokee nation of oklahoma. united keetoowah band. and the eastern band of cherokee indians. #any others that are state recognized or not at all arent acknowledged as legitimate by any of the legit cherokee groups #anyway. my final message goodb.ye #cherokee #tsalagi

people might be like "you waste like 4 hours a day scrolling tumblr and sometimes tiktok, why do you hate reels so much?"

well ya see, reels™™™ from "meta™" are a collection of completely uncultivated mindless gibberish content infested with rage bait ghouls that's constantly being thrust into my face on two platforms where I have worked for years to cultivate my experiences. On instagram I followed only artists I liked in order to see their art. On facebook I wanted to see posts from people I actually know, and nothing else. Meta hates that because I'm not CONSUMING enough CONTENT. Not clicking enough Links. Not interacting with enough brandsss.

In barges Reels with its endless stream of drivel about random bullshit like funny horse videos and celebrity drama. Do I watch videos like that on tiktok? Absolutely, and the crucial difference is that I went to tiktok and intentionally cultivated an algorithm that would give me content that I wanted to see when and where I wanted to see it. I wasn't tricked into going down a braindead video funnel by clickbait. I continuously and consciously cultivate my tiktok algorithm with a reasonable degree of success. Meanwhile Reels is over on the sidelines sobbing, begging me to click just ONE VIDEO PLEASE GODS JUST CLICK ONE! I refuse to be suckered in to watching some hour long rage bait video about ice cream in a toilet like 45 million other idiots. Like my aunt from Indiana who had to let the world know that she knows not to eat ice cream out of a toilet.

I wish I could set Reels™ on fire and feed it to wild dogs.

the older you get the more every story becomes about coming of age

#the social network #<- sorry. anyway it only works because theyre 20 and feelings are apocalyptic when youre twenty. #facebook could only have been made by a 20 year old. its like mark's arc is about being 20 and having to choose #what version of yourself youre going to become and then choosing that becoming over the people who loved the you from before.

i think we should all start making fandom websites and forums again, then replace things like tumblr and twitter bc tbh i wish i could just find like 40 different forums and websites about the thing i like and see them all personalized and people interacting with others on there, like i'd even donate money dude idc esp if a website was made by a fan for a fan. I'd rather be online on those kinds of websites than on tumblr where im telling ppl to not give money to tumblr cuz they are a shitty company who doesn't even care ab its userbase

#websites #tumblr #fandom culture #technology #my opinions #i was on a forum today for a video game series i like and saw people discussing how the old internet was better bc of less centralization #this person was explaining how people were more cautious on the internet #didnt share their name or ethnicity or age nothing but then it was encouraged by facebook #and people stopped caring ab their privacy #and then government data mining etc #look the old internet wasnt perfect but i hate the internet now it could b improved
