#they mock these traits

[tobi-smp]

people will be like “[describes a neurodivergent trait without actually calling it that] isn’t this thing men do so stupid? all the ladies in the replies know what I’m talking about #feminism”

#actually men talking funny isn't what makes the patriarchy happen #and pretending these kinds of traits are only present in men #doesn't stop the mocking of those traits from affecting Everyone who has them

fascinating to watch how hozier speaking Irish in his new music is making some people: 1. fetishise him further and/or 2. make 'fun' jokes about gaeilge/gaelic/'''garlic'''' bc like. babes. i can guarantee you neither of those actions are separable from the lingering impacts of colonialism.

#not understanding some of the nuances around a 'dying' (killed) language is not shocking #but treating it like some weird little romantic bog man character trait is annoying #i'm being a wet blanket but if i creamed my pants over irish OR mocked the language here i'd get bottled #and it's been said ten ways to tuesday but stop fetishising what you believe irish culture is like #he is a normal man trying to speak a language that occupies an incredibly complex space in contemporary Ireland #how majority-white cultures victim to colonisation are worshipped/fetishised in a still-bad way but different compared to POC cultures... #i want an essay #the way people are drooling over it while showing that they didn't care about it until their fave white boy sang it... #additionally in a way they have never cared about POC native languages........... #none of this is hozier's fault it's just fascinating culturally #gaeilge #wasteland baby #colonialism #irish language #unreal unearth #hozier

Windy at my house + power flickering = no comm work = quick laptop doodle

#my characters #i genuinely hoped the wind would die down but like ??? nah? #and the last time we lost power without an actual storm it WAS bc of wind #and so i just get so panicked over please dont fry my tablet with a power surge #if it calms down by tonight i really wanna work on art since i spent almost all day yesterday struggling with a pose and i finally #think i thought of something that could work and then (gestures to the wind) fuck me #also in regards to these two you have seen me drawing deacon a lot recently and i only drew armya once so far #she is a devoted follower to fulj which is really rare since fulj no longer has a large following nor a temple #so when fulj finds her its comforting and reassuring and she adores armya a lot #however the fact that fulj relentlessly teases deacon and calls him names is like..... ok wait would you really be mean to me if it wasnt #for her ? like would you still pick on me? :c and shes like lol yeah dude absolutely #deacon is just constantly dunked on by the lightning group and hes so sad because he wanted to be friends :c #but also the guy wouldnt really recognize the followers if it wasnt for the traces of lady fulj #so if they would wander into the city without having been possessed recently he probably wouldnt even cast a glance their way #nothing personal he just straight up doesnt decipher looks fast at all #he could think they look familiar but then not know why ESPECIALLY if they wear something he's not used to them in #like if armya showed up in something other than her loose white jacket he would not be able to go AH YES ARMYA immediately #he identifies people by hair or clothing details so it kinda messes him up if people remove whatever identifying trait they have #long hair getting a hair cut? suddenly a whole new person #and armya knows this very well since he never looked her way unless fulj was possessing her or trailing her #so she does like to tease him as just. we are both in servitude to a deity and same rank but like. bro youre too easy to mock #(fulj agrees)

We do need to hype up balding the same way that we've hyped up body hair and men's tits and other things that are considered unattractive - if going grey in your youth is hot [yes, very] then so is going bald

#soliloquy #I think people's sincere disgust of balding is really rather mean #Why is this the acceptable trait to mock?

I feel like there's something to be said about the way fandom will treat characters who's trauma they can personally relate to Vs characters who they cant

#like obviously fandom has a thing against unpalatable victims regardless of where their trauma is from #but like #people tend to be way more understanding and compassionate to trauma that they can personally relate to or comprehend #in narutos case: #naruto struggled academically and was bullied as a child. he was alone and neglected on an emotional/domestic level #people can relate to aspects of his character despite the fantasy stuff of being a human sacrifice and part of the military and tend to car #alot more about his struggles #on the other hand the uchiha are discriminated against. sasuke is the sole survivor of ethnic cleansing/genocide. that is not something mos #people could even fathom the pain and trauma of. i mean its fucking /genocide/. and ontop of that he was essentially mind raped by his #brother. the person who he loved the most who betrayed him #and is still expected to function in a society that provides no support and continues to objectify him for his clans desirable traits #i feel like atla is also a good example #people can relate to and sympathize with the parental abuse and inadequacy/anger issues zuko deals with. and are forgiving when it comes to #his redeption arc #but when you take a character like jet. who has trauma in loosing his entire village/community and taking on a caretaker role to other #war orphans. thats not exactly a regual occurrence the average person can personally understand. his trauma is directly related to the war #and so despite him doing WAYY less shitty things than zuko. his is still demonized by the narrative. killed off and then mocked #and the fandom largely saw nothing wrong with this outcome #hama is in a similar bag but she also has the whole 'exploding apartments of pregnant women' distraction tactics added onto her #cause just showing colonialism and forced assimilation and fucking SLAVERY is bad on its own isnt enough ig #psii.txt #slavery mention #genocide mention #rape mention

[alphacrone]

tbh i will always sympathize with any young girl going through a "not like other girls" phase because it is almost always born of an environment where femininity is treated as frivolous and vapid while simultaneously shaming that young girl for any part of her that does not conform to rigid gender roles.

#until you get to a place where you can be Yourself freely #there is an urge to fight back against gendered expectations #by joining the camp that mocks and degrades those traits being thrust upon you #i think this is also common with queer kids as well #at least it was for me lol #i'm not like other girls but i wanna kiss em #ok to rb

We respectfully obeyed, to cling to.

Chopping wood, drawing water, I’ll do anything for you I’ll give you my arms and my eyes

I’ll give you my life Without forgiveness or atonement

Once again, thinking about the Parallels and Hector's devotion to the people who accept him.

#castlevania #akumajou dracula #hector castlevania #prelude to revenge #hecula #hectaly #am i repetitive? very much so #do i care? no #i love this character trait and i resent how it's solely associated to the other hector #either to mock him or justify abuse #it's canon guys it has always been canon #this is not the thought process of an emotionally healthy person bear with me guys please #also something something *i* think it says 'we respectfully obeyed' but it could be seen as 'i' #and something something that page in the other manga where hector clutches rosaly's ribbon and thinks back when he was happy with dracula

its quite ummmm dumb how the mere mention of ableism has become an invitation of mockery and unimportance, treating the act of saying something or someone is ableist provokes people immediately using that as an "oh they are making an excuse, they are calling random things ableist because they dont like to read" (i.e. someone pointing out that, yes, there are disabilities that make reading harder or are less motivated to do so, and it is treated as them being purposefully obtuse or dumb, which is ableist.)

#there are traits of mental illness and disability which sound like acceptable points of mockery #if they are viewed from a place of superiority by the one doing the mocking

[hylianane]

i really dont like using my blog to vent or complain cause idk thats not what social media is about to me its just a space to be silly about the things i like. that being said. im just gonna do a mini vent in the tags abt smth that isnt even half as serious as im making it sound

#Listen. i found live action Zoro jarringly serious and edgy at times. Very juvenile. But its very telling to me that the ppl complaining- #-the loudest abt his characterization and scenes with luffy are the same zosan shippers constantly putting him down in their works #genuinely every other fic is filled to the brim with characters constantly talking down to him like a toddler and mocking him #and even telling Sanji shit like omg youre so brave for being in love with him it must be so difficult #and suddenly as a reader Im not rooting for the relationship im rooting for Zoro to get better friends #so like are you guys SURE opla zoro is this edgy oc or does it seem that way bc you flanderize him just as much in the opposite direction #taking his goofy scenes and exaggerating them to make him seem barely functional #when in the anime he IS competent and people trust him and find him very cool when he drops badass lines all of the sudden #sometimes he even actively tries to be cool and edgy. its not rare or unheard of. we were all there when he started posing in the wax #its the execution of these traits in the LA that seem juvenile and jarring and OOC but lets not pretend like the guy youd find- #-on ao3 is better written or accurate to animanga zoro at all. the criticism itself is valid but from some zosan guys it sounds silly #youll notice casual or non shipper fans tend to rlly like LA Zoro and thats because fanon can truly TRULY be a disease #i’ve had this opinion of fanon zoro for a while but just seeing him pitted against opla zoro really brought back my unhappiness with him #if i had to pick between the two of them…

[olreid]

yeah!!! let's hear it for girls who overlive!!! let's hear it for girls who lie down in the coffin to be with the dead and leave something vital behind when they get back up!!!!

#wherever that post was about whats the one trait a character has to have to attach you to them. #and my answer was guy who died but has to go on living : ) #UTENA: horror should have buried me. it didn't. #rgu #mocked with death

[junii-moony]

i’m fucking pissed i took a law class in high school and this shit is nothing like ace attorney wtf

#when i tell you aa is like 70% of the reason i took the course- #i was gonna be like a modern-day phoenix wright #but with none of the positive character traits #ace attorney #plus it was canadian law so it wasn’t nearly as funny #i was hoping to do a mock trial but we didn’t have time :(

One thing I've come to realize and appreciate as an adult is that sometimes when people are amused by my autistic traits, it's not malicious or condescending, but fondness because they care about me and like me, and my quirks and awkwardness and autistic traits are part of that. Like. Once I realized that, it's actually kind of nice

#like. it's about being liked for my autistic traits which are a core part of me #rather than despite them #and rather than being mocked for them #it's nice and it feels good and safe!! it feels like i can unmask #idk if this makes sense but. it's an observation #charlie.txt #autism blogging

[gynandromorph]

I fucking forgot she says "pwease"

#she will baby talk like that sometimes she thinks it's funny #a trait i grafted onto her from my dad #who will only apologize in mocking baby talk

[computerpeople]

i think with the discussion of autism people forget that a lack of social skills also makes you look like a fucking loser sometimes and its still ableist and embarrassing to be made fun of for it. and that its still intrinsically tied to your symptoms. and also it presents as annoying as shit. and also is still a symptom. you know what i mean?

#txt #going to a special ed school was very inreresting because it was like #it made me realize how different 'social ineptitude' can look in different people #and the thing is they cant help it either and i cant help it and sometimes whern you mock that person whos a total loser you ARE mocking #them because of autistic traits that they have. and no matter how many times someone goes 'but its the autism. youre mocking autism' #it like doesnt click bc its still 'loser behavior' to the person. you know? you know? #ive been thinking about it since i saw the autistic sex post. 'what does being autistic have to do with not having sex' well you see the #thing is a lot of allistic people think autistic people are annoying losers who are selfish and bothersome #and a lot of autistic people see their OWN community as the same thing. because a lot of types of autism dont mesh together #so... you know. sometimes the social disability is socially disabling #and ppl think ur lame bc of it

[inkedmyths]

Idk I'm no expert on character design but I think "good" and "bad" character designs are more relative than people act like they are. Same with artstyle.

I know most of the time people are mocking artists known to be garbage people but everytime it goes to "The designs/art is soooo bad lol" it rubs me the wrong way lmao

#ink thinks #i once saw a post that compared it to body shaming in of that. if u mock a garbage person's artstyle #you're far more likely to end up hurting a friend or smaller artist with similar art traits #and idk that's always stuck with me #and OFC there's nuance. obviously. some art 'styles' have glaring issues with them. same with character design. #but that's more in the vein of say Sexism or Racism and not 'ehhh the colors don't jive as well as i would like' yknow? #like no i get it there's ways to make more compelling character designs i get it! i knoe there's methods #but what appeals to you or generally appeals to most people isn't for everyone yknow?? #that's not to say u can't do character redesigns. i luv character redesigns i think they're fun. #but i wish the focus was more on 'here's my take/how i would have done it' and as a practice for something fun to do #as opposed to 'and here's the RIGHT way to do it' #not aimed at anyone in particular its just something ive been thinking abt lately

[lemonlovemeanslove]

Came across a "comedy skit" where random XD girl meets fedora reddit guy something something, and the hate some people have for autistic people is actually scary to me. Like not just weird, but frightening. I hate this world so much

#to write dress up study film edit and post a video that is just mocking autistic traits and people #is scary #i don't ever want to be bear these kinds of people bc there is something WRONG #with them #on a very fundamental level #shits crazy
