i feel like john marston enthusiasts only know how to express their love for the character by insulting him as heavily as possible. they'll be like "john is SO stupid. he's got no braincells. he washes once every 3 years and dresses like a rat. he's impulsive and reckless and shortsighted"

and then turn around 3 seconds later and go "anyway. i'd die for him, he's my favorite character"

This is somewhat tangential to the whole talk around like. White USAmericans not feeling like they have culture but like. I think it’s helped me pinpoint why I’m on guard when people talk about how much “they love studying people and learning about people!” Like. Is your love because you actually enjoy learning abt the weird specific and broad ways people are different/the same or are you like. Excited you found an exotic “other” to glamorize and objectify

#this is in part a self callout bc I used to say this stuff with my whole chest in high school #it’s not a hard trap to fall into but like. be critical about what people you find more inherently interesting than others when you focus- #-on other peoples lives and cultures and don’t examine yours with the same care #anthropology #this extends to people being weird about neurodiverence too tbh !!!! #I’m like increasingly frustrated w a specific brand of like. condescending praise like “wow your brain works so interestingly #like thanks but also are you going to be normal when I stop being personally interesting to you???? #what are you going to do when I become boring

[relaxxattack]

to be fair to cybersmith (shocking sentence i know) hes very obviously trolling and hes pretty funny when he pops up. the reason ppl hate gaud is bc a lot of the userbase on this site has outgrown gaud's style of humor and therefore decided that guad is 'cringe' and that its childish to enjoy them or whatever. also the whole cult stuff that gaud joked about didnt go over too well with a lot of ppl due to their fanbase being mostly full of younger ppl. ofc none of this justifies the lies spread about gaud or ppls dedication to bringing them down even after theyve apologized for past mistakes. THATS the real childish thing imo

yeah over the past half hourish i did some research where i tracked down the original callout posts and imo it seems like gaud fucked up, which they then apologized for, and then forever after that people were obsessed with nitpicking every single thing they said and hating on them (i literally found a post that accused them of being transphobic for saying they identified with the lesbian experience whilst using a nonbinary label. come on guys.) so yeah, seems pretty childish my thoughts on this is that its Ok to find someone cringe and not like their content actually, doesnt automatically mean they are the most vile kind of person alive (which seems to be what a good portion of tumblr users actually think is true??) which leads me to believe google doc callout culture is maybe just really shitty. specifically because it relies on compiling a list of every mistake a person has ever made (which often includes made up bullshit, or stuff that isn't even morally bad and is just something you dislike personally) and throwing them all into a list that implies they are all of the same caliber; instead of actually talking to a person and explaining how something they did was uncomfortable. this coming from someone who does not care about gaud in any capacity or follow them btw, im just curious what breeds these kinds of mass hatreds on tumblr. and as i thought it seems like mainly sad bullshit

#ive had callouts written about me in the past and Tbh i did not handle it well or maturely at all and i occasionally wish i could go back #and handle those situations with more grace than was being shown to me #because in the end freaking out and shutting down only made me look bad and immature because i didnt know wtf i was talking abt #though at the same time i dont BLAME my past self because it is not like the messages i was getting explained anything or were in good fait #anyway sorry for making it about me its just interesting how shitty callout culture is

original callout post is by @menheratic !! if you want more info, please ask them. i am merely reuploading the original callout post of ezaki. please do check out the link of the jp community calling him out in 2019 ^^ https://togetter.com/li/1327770

! The following post talks about the various bad things that Menhera-chan's creator, Ezaki Bisuko, has done.

Here a japanese summary of all the shit he did so far, including but not limited to:

• registering Yamikawaii as trademark

• sending his fans after gyaru YouTuber Usatani to harass her into a suicide attempt over unknowingly buying a shirt with stolen PPG fanart he drew

• himself buying products with stolen art, even promoting their sales, because it’s totally ok when he does it

• the reason why Usatan’s original design was changed aka it was a ripoff of Cult Party’s iconic rabbit mascot that was designed by their artist Maromika-chan

• wrote a whole guide on how to legally get away with sex work as child

• proof of him tracing art for the more detailed MCH artworks

• how he attended the Menhera Exhibit only to smear misogynist bullshit with blood on maxipads

• complaining about how anime for little girls are evil feminist agenda TM because ain’t nobody need men to be saved anymore

• boasting about being a fashion designer only selecting the finest fabrics for his merch when it’s actually made by the japanese equivalent of Redbubble

• “parody” works featuring child characters like Chibi Maruko-chan prostituting themself, the message being all women are whores regardless of age for the right amount of money

• the small “terms and conditions” shield he has at his con booths where you agree that you need to buy anything you touch

• how he setup an earthquake victim fundraiser only to keep the money

• telling his english fans they are not allowed to use any of his art for private use, like as icon, unless they pay him

• how he wants to move to the US when he turns 30 because of all the evil haters TM in Japan

• copyright claiming everyone left and right

• japanese Menhera speaking out about he keeps hurting the community

In regards of the maxi pads:

TW, CW // nooses, misogynistic text in red on maxipads

Our favorite being the second row second one, “Abortion is murder”.

Some more recent event: When he started harassing and hating on disabled people after Tokyo Fashion translated a Tweet of his because being disabled is discriminating yourself.

It’s like a trainwreck that refuses to end, now with 100% more crypto on NFT while shitting on those who warn about the dangers.

His NFT sales can be found here: https://foundation.app/@bisuko_ezaki

For some reason, after 7 years, he also decided to re-release the infamous wrist-cut bracelet to sell at events. The leader of the Neo-Decora group bought one for example:

TW // Bracelet that imitates sh, includes blood

Also keeps doing collabs with “Tokyo Uragawa” under Yamiko so Seigi (Mental illness is justice), which focuses on self-harming girls as fetish objects.

TW, CW // drawn sh

Recently, he also wrote a long-article on his definition of Yamikawaii:

https://harajuku-pop.com/67775/

Still not sure where overseas people got “this is about mental health awareness” from, might be based on mistranslations because the word for mental health and illness is one in the same, and his definition is about glorifying mental illness. In fact, this is why he was banned from Tumblr because he kept posting other people’s self-harm photos to his aesthetic blog Menherabusu.

Next up: Made suicide baiting posts over his following decreasing in the hopes of getting attention, fans sent him photos of cute animals to cheer him up, and he decided to post about destroying the pictures.

Tbh, this list could go on forever as he does this kind of bs on an almost daily basis now, but apparently people don’t care enough to stop throwing money at him.

Meanwhile the Japanese community made a whole Wiki for tracking all of his drama considering how much it is by now.

https://ezabisumatome.wiki.fc2.com/

TW // mention of shotacon

Decided to nickname himself Shotabi, the name being a combination of Shotacon and Bisuko, while using nsfw anime edits of male child characters in sexual situations as decor for his selfies.

𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝:

Is it ok to still like Menhera-chan?

𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫:

Sure, the problem is really only Ezaki himself and his increasing problematic remarks fueled by his ego, the manga is a lot older than him being like that.

Fun fact: Ezaki actually hates Menhera-chan because it's the only thing he ever gets approached for by the media, he constantly rants about this on Twitter. If you have noticed, he barely makes new MCH content anymore (unless he gets paid for it) and mainly reposts old artworks and fanart (without permission) instead because it's the only way he can still get attention as his other works, like the misogynist Manapisu, which is just him hating on women as "dumb wh*res" as a manga, flopped badly.

Just try to not fund his bs by buying new goods.

My predictions for the Master Rules

Spoilers, obviously, for Undead Unluck

#1

Soul

After chapter 191 I can most definitely assume this is Soul just from this panel here

Not only that, he deflected Andy's soul based attacks. It would make sense. I can also see him being Light or something but I am 95% sure this is Soul.

#2

Death

I am banking on this one being Death because of a few things. They said she smelled like "blood and guts". Self explanatory. But she also seems extremely close to Luck and they've even shown her giving Luck a piggy back ride which is a huge parallel with Andy and Fuuko.

She could be religion but I highly doubt it, especially if #1 is confirmed Soul.

#3

Change, been revealed

#4

Luck, been revealed.

#5

I'm going back and forth between Fair and Justice

Idk I've always seen knights as people who defend all that's just (justice). But, then again, his character design. He has spurs. And his vision is impaired by his helmet. Which is kind of a parallel to Billy. So he could be fair. This one stumps me tbh

#6

War

He looks like a wartime general and the dude summoned a tank against Andy?? Also his face is burned which is a common injury to receive in war

Time

War has most likely been a part of every single loop as well. War is, for lack of better words, human nature. It's been around for CENTURIES. Without war, the world would look a ton different.

#7

Pretty self explanatory, considering he uses it in his power callouts. He could also be Past since we know a UMA Past exists (revealed in the first few chapters)

#8

Language, already revealed

#9

Beast, already revealed

#10

Sick, already been revealed

[narcissisticpdcultureis]

Maybe not npd culture is being a bit confused about all those "ableist creators" callouts when a lot of them are clearly uneducated and probably only know the word "narcissist" from its bastardised internet meaning for "self-centred prick".

And yes, it sucks! I know not knowing better doesn't suddenly make it "less ableist" and nobody is asking you to keep up with that nonsense. Hell, you even should be mad!

But come on! Seriously, guys?

I don't really know where I'm going with this rant, but I feel like we're simply missing a public voice to set things straight. I'm sure a lotta people would never slap around words like "narc" left and right to describe some random assholes and karens if they knew that it stood for "having a traumagenic personality disorder"...

- ⚙️

heyo! my intention with that tag isn't exactly to "call people out" or "cancel them," it's just there for pwnpd to know ahead of time if a creator uses stigmatizing language because wether or not it's just out of ignorance, it can still be disappointing and distressing for a lot of people. i have been meaning to change the name of the tag tbh, but that's my intention with it and the purpose. i'm well aware most people are just ignorant, it's just still hurtful and some people would rather avoid it.

[olderthannetfic]

“Besides, thinking in terms of "clearing your name" is very black and white and self-important.” You said this on my anon about how to not care about randos blocking you, can you elaborate there?

Tbh framing it as callout posts maybe wasn’t the best choice, J agree that no one in 2023 who listens to those is very smart, I’m thinking more of where I get in a discussion about X representation with one individual and I don’t respond the way they like/respond at all and don’t 100% agree with them and bow down to their infinite wisdom since they’re part of X minority group, and then that person starts *privately* warning others in the fandom (like in discords and stuff) that I’m X-ist or “unsafe for X people to follow” or I “talk over X people” and a bunch of people who weren’t involved at all start blocking for safety reasons. (And yeah I’m not being paranoid, people have told me this is happening.) The thing is, I’m sympathetic to why marginalized people are a bit over cautious in blocking — I have been myself, too — but there are so many people now who weaponize that for mean girl shit by just saying “racist” or “homophobic” or whatever and not discussing the actual situation, since that might cause some of these individuals to disagree with them if they knew. And it bothers me so much because a lot of these people are themselves deeply bigoted in other ways: for instance, I know someone in a fandom who was slurred as antisemitic and blocked by a bunch of randos where the “antisemitism” was “disagreed with one (1) Jewish person about whether a fictional group was a Nazi analogue” and the Jewish user in question was really racist toward people from some of the groups victimized by those other proposed analogues — but of course that is left out in that person’s version of events, as is the fact that plenty more Jewish people in the discussion agreed with OP than didn’t. Situations like that and what happened to me are why I think now it just makes sense to require evidence (as in the offending posts) when someone does an “OP is a terf” or whatever, so you can make up your own mind — but I’ve seen people get accused of shit just for asking that. Someone even said in response “a trans woman asked you nicely and you can’t even just take her word for it and block the TERF, you have to ask her to do the emotional labor of finding proof for you?” Yeah? She’s a stranger? I think it’s normal not to listen to random accusations from strangers without evidence behind them????

--

I mean, I assume tons of people block me for "safety reasons", but that's both their prerogative and a them problem.

You can either placate people all the time, or you can accept that some people will find you contentious/annoying/scary/whatever.

Whisper campaigns and callouts aren't actually different here. Someone who believes the rando that you're a bigot is also not interested in doing their own thinking and investigation. Maybe they're tired and busy. I can't fault them for that. Maybe they're easily led and you're better off without them.

The situation remains the same: there are a fuckton of people in the world and you are not going to run out of people to hang out with just because some believed a rumor.

People who go "How dare you ask for evidence?!" are generally bad news, especially when they have decided to intentionally take upon themselves the labor of spreading the news about so-and-so.

If someone demands I do a thing and then throws a tantrum, it's that person who's getting blocked.

--

As for why it's black and white and self-important, my reasons were in the other post:

Yes, I'm sure some people did just believe a whisper campaign and they genuinely think you're a bigot and that scared them off...

...but to assume that's necessarily why a specific person blocked you is silly.

It's entirely plausible that they blocked you after looking at your actual tumblr/twitter/whatever and finding you not to their taste. Maybe they looked after hearing the rumors, but that doesn't mean the rumors themselves are why they blocked. It's plausible that they block everyone whom they perceive to be involved in wank on the theory that no matter who's at fault, blocking all and sundry will lead to a quieter fandom life. They may block everyone who ships something they dislike. They may block for one single annoying response on one single post that they happen to see. (I have blocked hundreds of people for this kind of reason. Maybe thousands.)

The reason it's black and white thinking is that many people block for all kinds of murky "I just felt like it" reasons that aren't as dramatic as dividing other users into Safe and Unsafe, Good and Bad.

The reason it's self-important is that you're imagining that you matter to this person. You probably don't. Their reasons may be extraordinarily petty and not this grand drama about whether you're a bigot or not.

--

I mean, sure, the pattern you describe above is a constant in fandom now from what I can tell, but who cares?

The people being hurt by this are the people who are preemptively blocking interesting tumblrs, not the tumblrs that got blocked.

I suppose it's compassionate to wish for people to learn how to do their own research and not be swayed by rumors, but it's also not my job to save them from their lack of critical thinking skills.
