I am putting this “fat” MM!April shit to bed once and for all
A while ago I saw someone take a photo of Taylor Swift, trace her waistline, and compare it side by side with a cartoon “skinny” woman to prove that cartoons often portray women with unrealistic proportions
I intend to do something rather similar
I am a very skinny woman. I’ve been told this my whole life. I have traced the outline of my waist and the outline of MM!April’s waist and have compared them side by side
It’s plain to see that there is like an inch difference at most. It’s called having room for your internal organs
Twitter is a shithole right now. People are going APESHIT over Angel Dust dancing, with sexy lyrics and the like, and his sexual assault being played on the TV screen in the background. They're disregarding people who have been raped and act like Angel Dust in that they're hypersexual.
They're literally sending death threats, gore videos of animals, and even rape threats to people who support Hazbin Hotel.
If survivors don't fit into their view of what a survivor SHOULD look like and behave, it's unnatural. It's not realistic.
I saw this in the Lore Olympus fandom, where Persephone was wanting sex and being horny. Apparently survivors aren't supposed to do that, we're supposed to be repulsed, quiet, and afraid of all intimacy (please know that survivors like that are just as valid and you have my support).
That fucking hurts because I act SO similar to Angel minus the confidence with strangers as a result of MY abuse.
It's so incredibly ironic for them to bitch about how rape is portrayed, in Angel's case, as something he covers by using his hypersexual, loud persona, if they're survivors themselves. I used to have this view because I was immature and didn't know how to cope, so I invalidated.
This human ver! Of pinkie pie was made by an Twitter artist that unfortunately left bc of the racism and fatphobia.
I tried to remember the piece and I think I did it right. Hopefully...
Anyways my message; if you're going to be this hateful, just know that it's not how friendship is magical, that type of "friendship" you had for some reason is gonna break like glass bc you're vile and cruel to people who're weaker than you. And people will know your shit. No one wants an asshole, and no asshole should have popular a or fame, they should be tarnished like plastic.
That's all! Sorry about that rant, I just hate everyone. I wish I could be more vigilant about it but that's not going to work at the moment.
it really feels like every single place on the internet where community can exist is being ripped apart because community doesnt help with capitalism. twitter, tumblr, discord, are all at risk of shutting down or becoming too dangerous to use. insta and facebook are a) already super well known for their incessant tracking and b) tend to be more for keeping in touch with existing friends rather than being somewhere you can exit semi-anonymously and find a community. yeah there are smaller sites but they have barriers such as requiring invites or being so small and spread out or having conflicting moderation rules that mean cross-communication is tricky. online community is so important, especially for those of us who struggle with irl community be it because of location or disability or any other number of factors.
i dont have any solutions to offer, really. this post is atm just lamenting the internet circa 2010. if people have solutions, please share them
I am now seeing #istandwithamberheard on twitter a lot and I am reminded why turning a defamation case even if really feels like half of it exists to publically prove the other is an abuser into a mainstream source of entertainment and celebrity gossip was actually an awful idea for the internet
I have no idea what to believe or where to look because I'm not sure what is fact-based vs celebrity gossip juice
Like...it was apparently clear as day amber heard was the abuser and now it feels like ppl have just flipped? This is not a situation ppl can just casually say the other person is very clearly the abuser and the other the abused.
It's so unsettling to me and I don't know what to believe.
“okay. so. been doing a lot of thinking, been looking around the servers, and. i just found out there’s been some uh… DATA SCRAPING. and… SYSTEM MANIPULATION. going around the aperture databases- not good stuff, mind you. so, i’ve been thinking, why not just…. limit the tests? you know?? 600 tests per day for the average test subject. 6000 for the ones that, uh, i dunno…. give me $3. because i know they love testing as much as me- it’s foolproof, really! I don’t know why we didn’t do it earlier. anyways, keep testing, and, uh, i’ll let you know when you’ve hit the- the data…. manipulation-scraping limit.”
