Maybe it's just me getting older and more pessimistic but god, it's so hard to be on the side of any like movement that spearheaded almost entirely by 21 year olds who's main tactic is just like "attempt to (poorly) socially manipulate people into agreeing with our side" even if it's something you agree with. Mostly because you're not that well organized and someone is always going to be meaner and more importantly, better organized.
I think AI art is a great example of this. But like, it stands with almost any large scale online "hot topic" type controversy. Fast Fashion, true crime, etc.
Like they'll successfully notice the problem: AI art hurts artists. But there is no real actionable plan or goal. Like, what are we doing? Are we trying to help artists? Then let's do that! Because I'm seeing a lot of them being like "if you've ever TOUCHED Dall-e you're going to hell. Also you're a fucking LOSER and you're jealous of my art skills."
Okay, listen, babes. Some advice: when dealing with these kinds of controversies have
a realistic goal
an actionable plan
an understanding of your audience
Again, using AI art as the example: it's more realistic to advocate for artist protections within the work place and also the limiting of commercial use of AI art then to tell everyone that you disagree with that you think they're lame and stupid.
Doug, who creates AI art of his very silly very specific fetish, isn't your main target. Arguing with Tumblr user DAVIDLOVESHENTAI about how he's not a REAL artist like YOU are looks like the most childish fight in the world. Trying to sway public opinion is great but it's generally harder to do if most people have had positive associations with the thing in question. Unfortunately, you may have to make concessions.
We need to stop making the same mistakes in discourse that we've been making since 2015.
TL:DR: Go to the source of these issues. Blaming people for using the tools at their disposal is a losing proposition and is going to sour public opinion against you. "I would like to simply like to put the genie back in the bottle" is not a realistic goal with any problem.
You can be mad at me for this take, but it doesn't change the fact that bad planning and organization is a detriment to your ability achieve your own goals

Soft — Obi-Wan Kenobi
OBI-WAN KENOBI x PADAWAN!READER
description: exhausted from training, you and obi-wan take a break together
warnings: none rly, basically just fluff :)
a/n: idk i’m always too horny to leave it at fluff and i mean it obv alludes to some shmexy stuff at the end but i just liked laying w sweaty obi. also the diff lightsaber form i’m talking abt is form v which is mine. also watching HIS HAND in this gif is making me FERAL
words: 1,279
It was that time of year for the sun to wreak havoc on Coruscant to where even the air felt stifling. You were thankful to be inside the Jedi Temple where you had the technology to be kept cool. It allowed you to train with your master, which would otherwise have been impossible if you were subjected to the weather, and yet you still found yourself blinking as a drop of sweat dripped down from your forehead and into your eye.
You continued to parry Obi-Wan’s attacks, even with your muscles on fire and your throat dry, no doubt dehydrated as all of your body’s water was working to cool you down on the outside.
Meanwhile, your master looked perfect as ever. The only sign of exertion was his hair, pushed back from his face and held out of the way by his sweat, and even then, it looked…good. Usually, you would’ve beaten him or he would’ve called off your training by now, but he was only doing what you asked.
A bit ago, you had also started to train separately with Master Windu. He used a different lightsaber form than Master Kenobi and you had taken an interest in learning it. Even though you had been taught Obi-Wan’s way your whole life, you felt that it suited you better. It allowed you to pursue your opponent more, getting rid of useless time spent in the defense position just waiting for an opportunity. It’s just who you were. You didn’t have the patience Obi-Wan had, but you didn’t want to be reckless. You had to find the best way to fight both quick and clean, and that was it.
The fact that you strived for precision and knowledge made you his pride and joy but he’d be lying if he said he was fond of the idea of you learning this new way of fighting. He worried that you would be open to getting hurt, and that could never happen. Not ever.
So here you were, slashing your sabers without stopping. You didn’t know whether he was trying to convince you his way was better, or if he wanted to push you to mastery as quickly as possible. If you truly were set on battling in that form, the latter would ease his mind a lot more. The higher your skill, the higher your chances of remaining safe.
You were up to the task, but you were worried that perhaps your body wasn’t. That question was answered when you dropped to your knees, letting your lightsaber slip from your hands as well.
“y/n!” Obi-Wan ran to you immediately, bending down and placing his hand on your back for support. He tilted your chin up to look at him with his finger. His concern was considerably lessened when he saw that, even though you looked exhausted and a little dazed, you were laughing.
“You could’ve won right now if you weren’t so soft for me.”
“Attacking my opponent while they’re on the ground wouldn’t be very honorable, my padawan”
“and because you’re soft!” you poked your finger into his chest.
“Would a man who is soft for you do this?” a split second of confusion showed on your face, not knowing his meaning until he dragged the knuckle under your chin closer and kissed you gently. Just as your eyes fluttered shut, he pulled away. The smile he gave you was sweet but there was the signature Kenobi glint in his eye.
He moved the hand on your back up to support your neck, the other snaking around your waist as he laid you down gently. His lips didn’t make contact with yours, but they were never more than an inch behind as he continued to lean over you.
“Oh no you’re not soft at all,” you rolled your eyes in joking as you slipped your fingers in between his auburn locks.
“No,” he brushed a hair off your forehead, “just completely in love with you,” he leaned in to kiss you once more, more firmly this time. Both of you sighed into it, your bodies relaxing after the physical exertion of training. One of your hands tugged at the side he wasn’t lying on, asking him to get on top of you. He obliged, and as he shifted over you took the opportunity to place kisses along his cheekbones, his beard brushing along your face, tickling you.
“Darling I’m all sweaty!” he laughed.
“With the way things are going right now, we’d be all sweaty soon anyway,”
“Good point,”
He dipped into your neck and began to suck lightly, causing you to giggle. You stopped him by tugging on his hair so that you could kiss him directly instead. A light moan escaped him when you slipped your tongue in between his lips. Fingertips brushed over your skin as he pulled open your robes slowly, your shoulders and most of your chest now exposed. Calloused hands cupped your shoulders, his thumbs rubbing back and forth softly.
It was your turn to explore more of him by slipping your hand down the neck of his robes and pressing your palm flat against his broad back. You retracted your fingers, scraping his skin lightly, another sweet sound of affirmation coming from Obi-Wan.
Both of you bestowed your touches slowly, so familiar with each other in both body and mind that you felt no need to rush. Even if you did want to speed things up, your bodies had settled and soreness was creeping in soon.
“I want you, Obi,” you kissed down the bridge of his nose then nudged the tip with yours. It might’ve been from the exercise but you could’ve sworn his cheeks got even redder. For the great warrior he was, he enjoyed the most subtle and intimate of gestures, reminding him it wasn’t just carnal desire between you two, but real love in which he could, in fact, be soft.
“and you can have me. All of me. Unreservedly,” he closed his eyes and touched his forehead against yours. “But for that, I’d rather have you in my room. I'd like to take my time with you. Is that alright?” you simply nodded. Even though he knew your answer would be yes, the way he asked permission reminded you of how gentlemanly he was.
Obi-Wan rolled off of you and stood up. Your hand was already out, assuming he would offer his to lift you from the ground. Instead, he swooped you up in his arms and carried you towards the door.
“Obi-Wan! Someone could see!” you whispered to him as he went to press the button of the door.
“It's alright. It’s not far and everyone’s taking a break because of the heat. Even if there is someone we’ll sense them,” he whispered back in mocking. The two of you were still completely alone, but you dropped your voice when you thought of getting caught, simply out of habit. His teasing caused you to pinch his side in playful retaliation. “Ow! If someone does come you’re on your own now,” he joked again. You laughed but didn’t take the time to quip back, wanting him more and more by the second. He was taking what you deemed as too long to open the door, so you leaned over and pressed the button for him.
Once it slid open, he strode out into the hallway with you in his arms. You took the opportunity that came with this short walk to let your eyes close and lay your head against his chest. You heard his heartbeat, but what you didn’t know was that it was beating for you.

I roast judge you based on your favorite YW main antagonist
McKraken/Ikakamone (YW1) :
You play Splatoon like it’s your entire personality. You’re also a purist-
Dame Dedtime/Tokito Ubaune (YW2/M01) :
That one scene from the first movie traumatized you.
The Ghoulfather (YW3) :
You…You really relate to him, don’t you ?…I’m sorry pal…I-I don’t know what to say about that…I feel you…
But still, you memorized all the "Godfather"’s script.
Whaleman and Minami (M03) :
Oh O-O
Didn’t expect to see someone who liked the live action movie but here we are !
Oni King Rasen (M04) :
STANDING HEEEEERE I REALIIIIIZED YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME TRYING TO MAKE HISTORYYYYY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️
Shutendoji (M04/YWSS) :
Look, I didn’t even plan to put him on the list, due to how much of a mess his role is, but hey-
You’re down bad.
That’s all.
Shien (M05) :
You either have parental issues, kinks or both.
Soranaki/Kuuten (M05/YWSS) :
If you were in the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom,
You’d be a Sukuna dick-rider 🫵

Fast fashion is un-feminist and hurts women
word count:927
When one thinks of fast fashion they think about places like Primark and Shein, which predominantly cater to women so you might be thinking hey that's totally feminist they are targeting women! but no that's not a good thing one could even say that makes it worse as the men who are in charge of these big brands are profiting off of mainly women exp the president of Shein is a man, Chris Xu, and the president of Primark is paul marchent.
About Chris Xu and his fast fashion empire-
Chris Xu the founder and CEO of Shein, one of the biggest fast fashion retailers in the world is described as a mysterious billionaire. Xu has a net worth of about $10.5b*
Xu makes most if not all of his money from his fast fashion giant known as SHIEN. Shein is known for having affordable clothing and lacklustre quality. shien like many clothing companies outsources its labour to places like India and Bangladesh they also produce in China. their reason? Lax labour laws allow them to not only pay unlivable wages but have awful working conditions many an article have complained about the child labour that occurs in these factories children under most laws cannot work until teenage hood and then they don’t get paid the same as adults in their same field one could argue that this is an issue in of itself, but imagine you're a child working in a 3rd world country and you're below teenagehood so you not only get paid less than teens you also get paid less than adults in your same field furthermore many clothing factories have machinery that can injure small children using them. but who else works in these sweatshops, women! Women for generations have been making clothing for their families and these factories are an extension of these patriarchal standards. As I previously stated these factories are usually situated in 3rd-word countries or LICs**where patriarchal standards are way more enforced than they are here in the West meaning while here we have equal pay(in theory) in these LICs their women won't be getting equal pay so big brands sourcing there labour from these countries is not only for the general lower pay standards but also the low pay of the women.
In these countries, the majority of the people the brands hire are women because they are able to pay them less for more work.
Labor conditions of the fast fashion giants-
You might think the general mistreatment of women and children is bad but the fact is that not only is the pay bad but the general working conditions are atrocious! factories are known to have bad hygiene and are not up to building standards making them likely to collapse as we saw in the Rana Plaza collapse which was caused by mismanagement and insufficient renovations the collapse caused 1,134 deaths. Breaks are often not mandatory and days off are few and far between meaning that some only get a few days off a year. Recently some tiktok influencers were taken on a PR trip to a ‘Shein factory’ this was later proved to be a false factory put up in order to make them seem like a good company that does violate multiple human rights a day, the influencers went through the ‘factory’ filming what is now a very infamous tiktok where one stated that the workers were ”shocked that people thought they were treated badly” the influencer also showed the viewers the factory and it was pristine with the most recent technology and clean environment the influencer showed the machines not producing any clothing later this was used as proof of the factory being a sham as it would mean that they would be losing money, why would they be losing money? Because if all of Sheinds factories were like this one which shien has said they are that would mean they would all have these state-of-the-art machines which in turn would cost them millions to not only buy but power meaning that for their machines to be financially viable They would have to be constantly producing to create a profit, this further proves that this influencer trip was a purely a sham.
Why is buying from shien and other fast fashion brands so un-feminist and bad for your wallet?
One reason it's unfeminist is that it perpetuates patriarchal standards I've already stated that the women in these factories get hired more which is a good thing but they also get paid less. because capitalism
Why is it bad for your wallet? Because the quality is awful in order to keep costs down not only do they not pay their workers living wages but they also skimp on things like fabric quality they're also hardly ever made well because if a child is making your clothes you cant expect them to be good, but here's the thing it's been reported that if a worker messes up I piece of clothing they have their pay restricted!
A little feminist add on- I believe that if as a culture we decided it was father nature instead of mother nature we wouldn't be treating our planet so badly
In conclusion, shopping fast fashion is contributing to the financial abuse of women and children in LICs
*source Forbes
**LIC= low-income country
All my love please follow and reblog if you agree, feel free to add more points to your reblog, asks are open I would love some more mutuals with the same viewpoints

I have a feeling like Shien is highly slept on. Like my man is the (theorically) father of Kouen and his crown has the same color scheme of the OG Yokai Watch-
I have this feeling too, in fact Shien might just be the most highly slept on character of the whole franchise, plot-important wise !
He is indeed litteraly half of the reason as to why Enma was born, the only known biological son of Ancient Enma, and seemingly affiliated in a strange way to the yokai watch !
Not to mention his close bond with the oni nation and particularly Shutendoji. (that he even nicknamed Shuten)
It's a shame that the scenario doesn't elaborate on him more, as Ancient Enma seemed to put great hopes on him, that only grew to become daddy issues !
I have made so many theories about him, his appearance, his family, how he can still be seen through Enma particularly in Shadow Side, but I don't want to seem annoying so I won't list them here-
But little Shien is indeed definitely a highly slept on character that deserves more time under the spotlight !
I also apologize for the potential mistakes in my sentences, English is not my first language, I hope it did not bother you too much !
