#our culture is disgusting

[deranged-fandom-quotes-archive]

Today we have a fandom anti being a literal monster. They're upset because an account on Twitter that reposts wacky tags from Ao3 called out someone for being pro-genocide. Specifically stating that this is 'weird' of them to do that. Like, way to tell the world you advocate for the murder of women, children, newborn babies and innocent civilians because you're an anti. The cognitive dissonance is insane with antis. They continue to prove that they're dangerous and violent people everyday.

I never saw the problem with Godot calling Kia kitten. I mean, they were dating. It's a pet name. And she didn't seem to mind. What's the issue?

…

Well they weren’t dating at first and so in the game it seems kinda icky and predatory since he’s older than her and she’s just starting out in the field so he had a power advantage

If he only started doing it when they were dating, yeah that would be fine but uhh she was a new attorney and he was senior defense attorney so it was just icky and sort of misogynistic and gross

bro really thought he could get away with calling her his kitten in court, my guy this isn’t discord /silly

#doctorsiren #not art #siren speaks #I don’t have an issue with Diego or Godot #I have an issue with how they portrayed him with that word specifically because the meaning in our culture is Not Great #this is made only better by the fact that he calls everyone kitten #but when it’s just on newbie inexperienced Mia? IN THE WORKPLACE? it’s ewewewewewewew harassment basically #I was once called ‘kitty’ at my work because I wear cat ear headphones #and the guy was like 35? (i’m 19) and apparently when I turned around he did a cat swipe #which is Disgusting And Horrible and EW #so I just…it’s gross.

"Biden is the best choice and he's actually really empathetic and reasonable but also you can't wait for a candidate that won't do genocide and war crimes because to become a presidential candidate you have to be willing to do that" see what you fundamentally don't understand is I'm not waiting for a candidate that won't do war crimes, because I know that. I cannot morally stomach this system, it's a joke to claim its democratic, and AMERICA DELENDA EST. this country is a plague on this Earth

#cipher talk #It's baffling because okay so you know how fucked up this is but you're behaving in a way that clearly indicates you want that this shambli #Disgusting empire to cling to life until after you're dead because it'd make /you/ uncomfortable and inconvenienced #To live through its destruction (the wealthier classes and more privileged experience lesser material changes in state collapse so long as #They aren't too highly ranked/involved in politics. A Sri Lankan wrote an article specifically addressing Americans about this) #It's so dehumanizing! People's blood is so cheap to you! You've just accepted its inevitable that genocide will happen! #Because of how the US operates! You can see no other future! It hardly matters to you! #You say this like the death of Palestinians of Yemenis of Syrians is someone else's dropped ice cream cone #You understand why people hate this country and you understand we deserve it but it just. Hardly matters to you #It feels like madness to watch this. It's disgusting #I keep thinking- it'd be so easy for you to justify my people being killed if violence broke out and it was in your favor #It's unlikely because. Well. America loves 'the church of the martyrs' #But you'd do it if that was favorable. You wouldn't think twice. You might feel a twinge in your heart but that's all #Because we aren't people to you! #We aren't all that important! Not important enough for you do anything more than 'well let's vote a blue in and do some protests' #What's a protest worth if you perpetuate the system and can't see a way out and don't try for a way out? #That's killing a man then putting flowers on his casket. It's /perverse/. #You get used to the idea that Africans die that West Asians die and that's just the way of the world. My g-d do you understand anything?? #I watch necrosis take hold my parts of my culture and I watch every good person I know be ground to dust under a military regime #I talk to my friend who got drafted and is trans and may never come out because if they do they can get arrested as a 'prostitute' #I watch the wild hope for the future I was introduced to over radio at 9 years old wither #I watch people risk it anyway because just past the fence they can see they know there are people there #I watch my neighbor to the south crumble and weep because our hands are bloody and it's in part because we bloodied them for the west #And you just think that's how things are. #Fascist white death cult mindset

so there was this pub, the crooked house or the siden house, where im from that was kinda famous for being the "wonkiest pub in britain". its been there since 1765 (it was originally a farmhouse) and let me tell you, the inside was some of the coolest shit ive seen. it was fucking bostin.

but four days ago, it burnt down. now its nothing but rubble, and its being treated as an arson for the investigation.

and just,,, im so gutted. i have that kind of sadness where you feel empty inside because this was our pub. we're an impoverished area and a lot of our country laughs at us for the way we speak, but we're proud of our local culture and history.

honestly the siden house represented us; we're a little wonky bunch with our dialect the most close to old english and banding together like misfits in a movie.

but now its just gone. its one of the few tranklements of our history we get to hold and its just fucking gone, at someones hand. it was probably new developer who just bought it because its the cheapest way to clear a lot.

and i ay even angry at whoever it was, im just sad. as a brit, i hold no pride for my country and the history of it. but i am a proud yam yam, and right now, it just hurts.

#kai rambles #personal #delete later #probably #i just need to vent #because just #i day feel good rn #like ive been to the crooked house and it was so cool and i fucking loved it so much #and it was so unique and it was ours #it just feels like someones took part of my heart away #like i can be proud of my local history because it was the yam yams who dug the canals and mined the coal and built the factories #and transported the coal via canal and built the railroad tracks and built up all our little towns #and obviously there was exploitation happening and you know weve always been a working class area #we got our name the black country from how much dust and coal and steam was in the air round here #theres an entire story where apparently victoria came round in a carriage to visit an area very essential to industrialisation and she #refused to open the curtain on her carriage window because she was so disgusted with us #it was all local folks making the steel and the cars and the chains and the trains and all the rest #obviously we benefited from colonisation like any area of britain but we were also being oppressed and exploited by rich brits ourselves #but so much of our local architecture was built by us and the culture was built by us and the dialect came from us #and the siden house was part of that #and now its simply gone most likely because some fucking clarnet developer decided oh ill do some light arson to cut corners #who cares about our local culture or history? instead you can just laugh at our accents and our dialect and rewatch benefit street! #because weem all backerds roun' here day yow think? eatin faggots and fittle wommucking it down an' gooin to the foot of our stairs? #ar weem right gawbys in yo eyes. goo on gawp at us tek notes if yo want. just doe dither abou' it an' weem haven no more cotter with yow #ye im probably gonna delete this later #i fully just went yam yam slang there #im just upset and a little bit maddened

Been thinking about my body a lot

#Sel talks #Listened through Fat Talk by Virginia Sole-Smith which talked a lot about how bodies are tools #And the way she talked about how thin-ness shouldn't be something we strive for #And I can't help but draw parallels between my own desire to go on t? I don't know. Been having too many thoughts stewing #I keep coming back to isabeau's line of “maybe it was easier to change into someone I could love than to learn how to love how I was” #And I had drawn both hrt and diet culture back into this; but. Neither of them are from self love? #It's. Idk; a friction? On how you perceive yourself and how the world perceives you? #Or. Idk idk. It's hard to articulate now that I'm trying to get it down #If I remember right; one of the messages of fat talk was how bodies should be for function first and foremost; and should hardly-if ever- #Considered for aesthetic. And yes- trying to loose weight is one of the most damaging aesthetic changes you can do- #Idk! I feel like I'm looking too far into it #Something something you're not happy with how your body looks/is perceived so you want to change it #Whether that's influenced by society; loved ones; or something biological; it's still a desire to change your body #Although one is vastly more accepted than the other #Trying to become thin is trying to make yourself more comfortable in a vastly fatphobic world; to placate the people think they have say #Over your body; make yourself more palettable to the world around you. #Which I guess is an important distinction #Becoming the person you want to be even through everyone telling you that it's wrong or disgusting #But a part of me can't help but think a part of the reason I want to do hrt might have something to do with our male centric society? #I'm too tired to elaborate any further but I feel less busy now that I have it out

[jamelalatise]

It seems everyone advises “put yourself first” once a relationship is suffering, but where are the people that encourage “put the relationship first”?

#I genuinely feel like this is one of the reasons so many people don’t tend to their relationships #we’re not encouraged to anymore. that culture has died. we don’t seem to believe in collective good #we prefer our self-centred gain #and I get it because for too long people have put relationships first and endure disgusting states #but there’s no balance now and no balance then it feels like

I really should not try to add 'create video content, a thing I have never done before' to my cicada plans when I've already got a lot of other stuff to keep track of but I do kinda want to on account of I do wanna try eating some and I'm really annoyed that almost everything I could find about doing that is framed as 'WOOOAAHH EEEUUUGH you can EAT?? these HUGE DISGUSTING BUGS???? watch me EAT some BUGS OOOAAHHHH' like okay I get it we live in the culture we live in but there's really not even one video on this from the perspective of approaching entomophagy in the spirit of sincere openness and curiosity??

#I've had this problem before researching entomophagy it's so annoying kfgjhdfkj #'eating crickets and grasshoppers is like. really popular and normal in a LOT of places' #'SURELY I will be able to find SOME recipes and flavor perspectives from someone for whom it's just normal food' #no. lol. #gotta do everything my damn self #there is ALWAYS nestled somewhere in these things 'this is super normal all over the world and actually it tasted pretty good' #but it is ALWAAAAYSSS couched in 'WOAHH... OOOUGHHH... can you BELIEVE????' sensationalism #I'm not SURPRISED I'm just ANNOYED. like of course that's the majority but like. ALL of it?? #so anyway I don't know how to do this but I wanna make a 'trying a cicada dish' video that blithely pretends that's normal #like listen you don't need ME to tell you 'in our culture this is weird and gross!!' you know this already #incidentally I feel the same way about articles or videos about 'look how cool/ beautiful/ interesting/ beneficial this spider is' #that waste A LOT of time going 'obviously everyone HATES spiders and thinks they're TERRIFYING and DISGUSTING' #before lamely segueing into 'but this one's cool actually. believe it or not' UNNECESSARY AND ANNOYING.

ive already expressed how bunk the culturally christian discourse is but something else occurred to me and its that the discourse not only alienates exchristians (on purpose) but also alienates poc, largely i think also on purpose. because ive seen so many false equivalence posts insinuating that backlash against culturally christian is the same as resistance to the idea of ‘white privilege’ or that being ‘culturally christian’ is the same as being white in a racist society. and so many people keeping this discourse going are white and trying to call out other white people for having another level of what theyve interpreted as unilateral all encompassing privilege, going back and forth on how privileged the cultural christians (exchristians, people raised atheist, people who have converted to other religions, jewish folks and muslims too now if they breathed the wrong too christian air or lived in the wrong country) are and equating it to being inherently racist. and you can see how this analogy doesn’t work for people of color and literally anyone marginalized in any other way. even if you think ‘culturally christian’ works as a term (it doesn’t but go off, mostly because yall stripped it of anything meaningful from conception) how can you say its equivalent to white privilege even for poc without being racist? for all this “you need to unlearn christian biases!” none of you are unlearning your racist biases.

being ‘culturally christian’ is not a person of color’s version of white privilege you myopic racist fucks. the white ‘culturally christian’ enjoyers are either trying to dodge some sort of guilt or accountability but it shows how they use intersectionality is broken and oversimplified otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion in the first place. its no surprise a concept made by a black woman (intersectionality) is misused by white folks. and no, i don’t care if youre white and nonchristian saying this, if you can make those kind of claims with no nuance then i get to do the same. a lot of the popular bloggers who say this are white and reblog from people known to harass poc anways...

and now for the personal anecdote as a black person: black churches didn’t get firebombed, be segregated and get defunded so they couldn’t organize against white supremacy for you to say ‘culturally christian’ is the same as being white and racist for everyone. they didn’t edit the bibles they gave enslaved people for no reason, they didn’t burn crosses in people’s yards and march streets with them in white hoods, or claim black people didn’t have souls or that integration was ‘unchristian’ or say that “only jesus could fix racism!” for you to get your white ass on tumblr and say this shit. i hope you feel genuinely uncomfortable and unsettled reading that.

#i say this as a black person which shocks people because (gasp)! a black exchristian??!!? impossible! #our churches dont get firebombed by white supremacists and segregated for yall to say all poc have equal privilege #or benefit equally bc we might share one (1) similarity with the people that hate us #you are disgusting if you say this #and literally all of you saying this are white. every blog had a race listed and it said 'white' #and no im not interested in a conversation or understanding with you all im interested in you fucking off forever <3 #tumblr is always a white centric echo chamber its just become more obvious now #culturally christian discourse #culturally christian #ex christian #ex christian poc #poc ex christian

Context, a group chat of adult men are encouraging and participating with children to sexually harass a woman online. As well as encouraging corrective rape and yet the sexualization of objects from an anime, not people, is considered worse.

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

#a lot of people literally refuse to even eat ham or pork #not even for like religious or health reasons #just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross' #every time i hear people going on en masse about how 'weird and an acquired taste' something foreign is i go and try it and i'm just like #what the fuck were all of you smoking. where is the unbearable weirdness i am supposed to be experiencing #shoutout to that time i kept hearing about how bizarre a flavor milkis soda is and how intimidating and acquired of a taste #then when i actually try the stuff. it's just fucking peach soda. it's peach soda with a faint tangy yogurtish taste. it makes good floats. #how in the absolute fuck is anything even remotely weird much less gross about this? #unless your concept of what a 'soda' should be is poisoned by a lifetime of the entire soda aisle being filled with nothing but brown sludg #from the same 3 brands that all taste like what would happen if they could distill the concept of diabetes and artificial flavoring syrup #i don't know if other countries have this but there's this weird cultural like mandatory rejection of any 'unusual' food here #way more intense than i've seen from anyone from any other country (though that might just be inexperience with other cultures talking) #people react to the mere suggestion of any food outside a very narrow range with outright disgust and genuine fear and horror #and there's a huge amount of unspoken peer pressure on everyone to also do the same #like you're expected to agree with them and you've breeched some sort of silent social contract if you don't #it's seen as *immoral* almost it feels like #it's difficult to describe unless you've noticed it yourself #americans react to the mere suggestion of eating anything outside of the same 2 meats and handful of fillers the same way #that pearl-clutching aristocrat grandmas react to hearing that people in foreign countries do.. basically anything #it doesnt matter if you're suggesting eating ube cake or suggesting eating live bugs because people will react the same way #everything that's not chicken/beef/ect is as good as bugs to people here #hate this stupid blandass country and how impossible it is to afford any food other than burgers if you're not rich #or blessed with relatives that have any idea how to cook and are at all willing to teach you #cause nother weird thing i've noticed about food culture-or at least wasp food culture-that i haven't seen anywhere else quite the same way #is that if you DO have any relatives that know how to cook then nine times out of ten they will jealously guard their recipes like a dragon #and refuse to share them with anyone #thus taking whatever little cooking knowledge was in the family to their grave #so the opportunity other people usually have for family bonding via passing on recipes? pffft no. #for some reason we seem to actively go out of our way to prevent these things from being passed on #i don't know what the fuck is up with that but i suspect it has something to do with 50's dinner party oneupmanship

For the ship ask game: Sisko/Garak, Kira/Dax, O'Brien/Bashir

Sisko/Garak: ship it!

What made you ship it? I Do Not Remember. It may have been @ectogeo-rebubbles ITPM fic and it gradually grew on me but I don't know what to do with I now.

What are your favorite things about the ship? 1. Potential analysis for a very different way of being intimate with Garak, for one. With Julian he's always performing a bit, and his intimacy with Julian is cloaked in layers of complications and subterfuge- they're both very used to performing, performance is how that communicate. I find their dialogue often very easy to write because they're both very witty and vaudevillian (it's a dynamic some of the guys from my attempt at an audio drama have lol). But with Sisko I've noticed that Garak has points where he drops the jovial attitude and is very straightforward with him, kind of like he's dropping a ruse. It's not that Sisko doesn't enjoy those mannerisms of Garak's- as I think @wanderingwriter87 pointed out, Sisko appreciates Garak's bits- or that that's false behavior from Garak, but it's a kind of unmasking Garak is not prone to allow. 2. There's a very different power dynamic between them- perhaps controversial but during the run of the show I think Garak is put in a weak position, powerwise, compared to the vast majority of other characters as an exile who does not seem to have his citizenship sorted out. Socially, however, there are ways he wields power with Julian or even like, Quark where he's clearly got an upper hand that he doesn't with Sisko, who is of the same generation as Garak. Like, Garak does very notably manipulate him, but not the way he does with other people. And 3. Comparing and contrasting the social contexts they come from. Obviously Hebitians are like, my blorbo culture, but they're both middle aged men who adore children, and are pretty family oriented! However Sisko has a pretty healthy relationship to his family and Garak's family is an... on fire dumpster. Garak is very loyal to his father and craves his love and needs his approval for survival, while also calling him a monster and wishing him dead. Sisko seems to have trouble understanding that other people have severely negative relationships to their parents that may not be able to get resolved (it happens at least twice) because his father has been a good man to him. And to top all that off, Sisko has a son who's coming into adulthood! Children are their own whole people! Family is not a physically distant concept for him!

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? I don't think there are popular opinions... maybe that I don't think Garak actually caught Sisko as off guard as people act like he did during IPTM. Like, Sisko’s anger is less about what Garak did and more about the fact that he knows what he did. Sisko knows who garak is, what he's capable of, and if not specifics of what he used to do, the kind of things he used to do. Hell, this is after Garak went to jail for trying to do mass murder. Sisko was planet side during that!

Kira/Dax: I have no hard feelings on it, but I think saying I ship it is lesbian-pair the spares type cheating. I find Kira interesting and have been trying to read more stuff about Jadzia to understand more about her, but I don't rotate them in my head as much separately or together to feel like it counts. I think I've written more like- character analysis? On Kai Winn than on Kira through my perspective of her as a martyr-that-wasn't and how I think DS9 fails to accurately understand and critique the religious context Bajor exists within. Which is funny, because I like Kira and think Winn is a super shitty person- I've mostly ended up thinking about her more because people have such bad takes about her.

O'Brien/Bashir- I don't ship it

Why don't you ship it? Honestly I genuinely think Miles is straight, I don't think his and Julian's relationship has that kind of intimacy and I struggle to understand the intimacy they do have as friends (Miles being an "everyman" means he's a bit of a "shittyman" and we'd be fine co-workers- he's a lot better than some of the people I worked with in welding, which is like winning and award for tallest dwarf- but I would not voluntarily talk to him on off hours). And frankly any openness I've had to it has been killed by the shitty and annoying behavior I've seen from Jiles fans towards their "competition". I'm sure some of it isn't like- sincere? But it's a style of humor and behavior I find rude and off-putting. Also like- I don't like how most people talking about it regard Keiko.

What would have made you like it? You could maybe analyze how Julian thinks he knows what's best for people and that makes him more inclined towards decisions in intrapersonal relationships that really are bad for everyone, I did read a ficlet like that once with it that I found compelling

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it? I do think it can be an interesting analysis of repression on Miles's part and I hope people have fun with it

#cipher talk #ds9 #Plus the ringleader of the bad behavior for Jiles stuff made fun of the scene where Julian gets SAed by fake Jadzia in IWWH that I find #Really fucking disgusting as a 'male' SA survivor who is aware of the ways in which its socially acceptable to mock us and play off #Our suffering like it's nothing #Sure it's a joke but do you have any idea how many fucking jokes I hear??? Most of you people aren't funny #Plus there's a type of 'jokes' around how miles interacts with Julian founded on making fun of Julian for being British I find a little uh #Fucked up? I don't think joking about a white person calling a non white person slurs funny and I find a lack of understanding of race in #Their relationship very offputting #Like it's straight up canon that Miles is racist and his wife calls him out on it #And I don't buy that racism doesn't exist in human culture towards other humans. That's what happens when white people try to write that #For me I can't separate 'miles is racist' from him getting fixated on beating Julian at racquet ball and projecting that Julian must be #Being smug towards him about it onto him when he infodumps. Like thats a thing white men constantly do towards men of color #re: athletic ability. It comes off kind of subtly disturbing for me #Plus the Jem'hadar oh my fucking g-d there's such a blatant racial subtext to Miles thinking they need to be kept enslaved for the safety o #The quadrant and Julian thinking that's bad actually

[semprelibera]

It’s honestly insane of the Metropolitan Museum is still proudly displaying archaeological artifacts acquired from Robin Symes years after he was unmasked as an art trafficker.

#Just give it back already! #Look it’s not Italy’s Greece’s or Egypt’s fault that you don’t have an ancient culture of your own to display #Having Etruscan busts or Corinthian vases in the United States and Northern Europe is unnatural and it disgusts me #It’s our heritage not yours #Ah me misera!

[jinzouacting]

periodically people have to be reminded that you should be against these large generative ai models because its aggregate content theft and not because of like "laziness" or whatever

#like yes the arts are wildly devalued which #goes in hand with this push to replace us en masse with ai to cut labour costs #and its disgusting to see #but if someone says its making art accessible to disabled people. and you talk about a guy who learned to draw with his feet #you need to take a good hard look at yourself #it feels bad to encourage the automation of art when in popular culture so much of our work is devalued but #as an artist!!! i am lazy. i use 3d models i trace photos i use custom brushes #sometimes you just aint drawing all that. the Laziness thing is a bad argument #whats bad is feeling entitled to Take the work of others without permission to train generative models!!! thats the problem!!! #just bc you're taking stuff en masse it doesnt make it better than stealing from one person. thats not the same thng as inspiration shut up #i think technology and tools evolve and its cool that I've found thinvs that support me as an artist #its not fucking about the machine learning its about theft how many times do we have to teach you this lesson

Disclaimer that I am not a weeb but like

Every time some news story comes out about how "wow, Japanese sports fans clean up after themselves in foreign stadium!" Or "wow, Japanese people took to the streets with their own cleaning supplies after earthquake!" etc etc there is inevitably a bunch of Americans who are like "wah, we could never have that in our country bc we're shit :("

And it's like my brothers in Christ, American culture reviles the idea of service work, in any capacity. You're the people who regard cleaners and caretakers to be the lowest rung of our society. You're the "haha you're so dumb you're gonna be a garbage man when you grow up" people. You're the "leave the mess, it's the waiter's job to clean it up" people. You're the "I am definitely ambulatory but it's my nurse's job to take care of me so it's my right to shit my pants" people.

You're the "I won't wear a mask; it's not my problem if I get strangers sick" people

Like you know who would absolutely have a menty b if we brought the idea of collective caretaking to this country? Fucking you guys.

In Japan, they have their kids do custodial duty every day after school to promote the idea that the school is the student body's ownership and responsibility.

Try handing a broom to baby Timmy and watch Timmy's mommy and daddy immediately pull him out of school because how dare you denigrate my child like this and treat him like some sort of disgusting janitor, oh my god, don't you know my children are above doing such things like caring for a collective space? Don't you know that only people we treat like shit clean up after other people? Are you implying that my Timmy is someone we should treat like shit?

Like rah rah individualism, whatever, but damn, reap it fellas, reap that sow

(This is also, ironically, why mothers are oftentimes the least respected members of a household, because who cleans up after you? Not me, I'm not your mom)

#we have a cultural inability to see care work as necessary & respectable as opposed to servile #and i think that at least 80% of that is tied to our disgust with the idea of disability #like the minute you stop being able to totally care for yourself the minute you require some sort of collective help #you are no longer a whole person and instead you are now a burden on other people #completely misunderstanding that everybody is gonna be disabled some day #whether by bad luck or bad genetics or just passing time #every single one of you is going to lose your ability to ''stand tall like mountain'' #like this is capitalism brainworms obviously #where the minute you stop being able to produce chum for the machine you're worthless #but like come on guys at least try to confront and overcome your programming

[telepathicfeline]

People really are out here not believing it’s possible to not be attracted to men (cis or trans)... You all think you’re progressive?

#And no it's not a 'political choice' to find out someone is a man and then not be attracted to them #It's consistent with our fucking sexuality #Also can't believe I saw someone say 'lesbianism isn't defined by who you're attracted to but by participating in lesbian culture #and cultivating sapphic relationships' #Fucking disgusting #If a woman or sapphic person is attracted to only women and sapphic people #they are a lesbian #Even if they don't 'participate in lesbian culture' #The way you all talk about lesbians disgusts me #We're not your theoretical sexuality #We're right here
