i cannot stop thinking about this white person telling me my “hair is dead” with their full chest and when i told them that was offensive and that they just didn’t understand nonwhite hair they *still* tried to go “oh . well. no. i know nonwhite hair. your hair is just dead.” my brother in christ, maybe don’t, as a white person, tell a nonwhite person that 1) their hair is dead and 2) you know more about their hair than they do. especially when hair is such an important thing in my culture. like goddamn do you have any idea how disrespectful you’re being??

Do the people who complain when we criticize mainly white casts or limited or bad POC rep or casting POC with white features realize we're criticizing the choices they're making, the choice to prioritize whiteness over POC? Not necessarily the whiteness itself, or their features, or anything. We're criticizing the consistent, racist choice to prioritize whiteness. "But there are people with those features!" "But it's England!" "But-" Maybe. But they are specifically choosing poc with WHITE features, and starring like no POC with nonwhite features. They're specifically choosing people with lighter skin, with blonde hair and green/blue eyes. They're choosing to set it in white dominant places. They're choosing to make them white. They're choosing to prioritize whiteness and ignore everything else. That's the issue. Not the whiteness itself.

Please, look! How many POC characters can you think of that have DARK skin? Nonwhite features? How many POC characters can you think of in general, especially compared to white characters? How many stories can you think of where there are prominent POC characters? How many stories that aren't set in Europe?

Or better yet, answer this. How many fantasy stories set in fantasy lands can you think of that the 'it's set in Europe' excuse doesn't apply? Can you think of more than five? Can you list any without hesitating and pausing to think even once? There's a consistent choice to set fantasy worlds in places that whiteness is predominant, even though it's fantasy, and can even be based a place where whiteness isn't predominant, like Africa or Asia.

Exactly. It’s the same thing for stories that are centered around maleness. Like all right, it takes place during the midst of a war, or in a male-dominated workplace, or in an all-boys school, or in a family with only brothers, but why does it HAVE to? Why couldn’t take place in an all-female army(which exist in both real-life and fantasy), or a female-dominated workplace, or an all-girls school, or a family with only sisters? Or an even-gendered environment? Or do you just see women’s stories as less interesting than the default men’s, just like you see poc stories as less interesting than white ones? It’s something to think about?

#and then when you do set stories in those settings you get attacked for ‘marginalizing’ white people and/or men #because how dare you not center what is already the default #amirite #racism #anti-blackness #misogyny #sexism #misogynoir

My mom and I talking about her WHITE boyfriend:

Her: So I introduced him to kimchi since he’s never eaten it before.

Me: Pathetic.

Her: Well he’s from Michigan so they only have diners there. Like he can’t even eat sushi… he’s like raw fish? No way

Me: Yeah the most diverse thing they have up there is Waffle House. What a sad life to live.

idk if you saw this bc im assuming they blocked you, but the op of the "not to sound like a white woman" post was frothing at the mouth all day over your response. its frustrating bc i think the point you made went completely over their head, but at the same time looking at some of the posts on their blog they seem to be truly unhinged. including stuff along the lines of "i hate white women, i hope you bitches choke" which really just proves your point doesn't it? replace the word "women" with any other oppressed category and suddenly that sentence is hate speech... except these people don't see women as an oppressed category

lmao 😭 it's funny in a sad way. the fact that people here will jump you for hating men because what about autistic/disabled/black/etc. but it's ok to make fun of an explicitly oppressed group... these people are unironically "but black people have rights now so we don't need BLM/etc" for women and feminism

#buzgie ❁ #personal post #asks #103 years ago women couldnt vote in america but theres no such thing as historical disenfranchisement amirite #unironically i think if people explicitly included trans women in white women then people would stop this #which is really sad and transphobic on their end too #fascinating to find out the only winner in this situation (cis men) [it's literally always cis men] #who could have predicted this 🤔🤔🤔 but remember the patriarchy harms men too!!!!!!!!

[ravenramblingrandomshit]

so anyways

i took the raads-r test thing again like twice

first time thinking about it but also using how my masked self is : 162 (tf right???)

second time being painfully honest w myself : 200

the first First time i took it i got a 184.

i--- i uh.

yeah.

i know its not a real diagnosis. like i know this.

but i feel like its pretty clear. that im autistic.

#mostly just #i told my aunt #and she was like #honey #you're not autistic!!! #and i was like #um #incorrect #but anyways #thats me being like umm #bitch u literally dont know much more than what your daughter-in-law tells you #she prolly knows abt young white boy autism #no offence to those kids #but they are the stereotype that i am compared to #offence to the doctors and other people i know who use those stereotypes #autism #autistic #self diagnosed autism #ableists amirite

I can't tell if Facebook is the problem, or it's just that everyone I know is terrible.

#facebook #white people amirite?

[zorilleerrant]

people can really say "white people subconsciously find little black girls less threatening than little black boys because they think of the black boys as future black men and that makes them nervous" and get people responding to them like "black men aren't even threatening maybe you're the real racist"

#look i said something #I'm going through my old arguments and deleting them and I keep coming across ones that are basically this #white people and their is/ought fallacies amirite

[snackugaki]

.... i have been so normal about wanting to draw tactical!Venus and tactical!Jennika.

hey. HEY. y’all need to go check out @donathan ‘s artwork, and if you are the proper age, go throw some money into their patreon for some... some real, real good art. 👀👀👀 ...but do not if you are a minor, that shit ain’t for you.

some IDW TMNT comic spoilers... and.... I guess... Next Mutation ssspoilers? I know some of you kids haven’t turtled up and watched my beloved childhood iteration yet.

alright, so, y’know, completely normal expenditure of my energy and skillset, amirite? big big thanks to @/donathan for allowing me to play around in their AU’s aesthetic because I have severe, terminal VenusAndJennikaDeserveEverythingoccocal SoIWillManifestItMyselfitis.

and tbh, all y’all’s fics have been, mwah, chef’s kiss. but SOME of you put LORE. delicious, tasty, appetite-inducing lore.

and i am nothing but the littlest hoebag for lore.

okay so, quick rundown for those who both A) are immune to spoilers B) also do not know Venus or Jennika’s origins-- bulletpoint time~!

So Venus de Milo, the “girl turtle”, the “fifth turtle” (not counting April’s extremely brief stint as a white-bandana’d turtle in the Archie comics run) was introduced in 1997′s Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation

An episode of “The Toys That Made Us” touched upon Venus’ creation so idk it’ll cover what I won’t deign to acknowledge.

her backtory is interesting (just her show was a trashfire /affectionate)

Master Splinter’s frolicking around in the dreamscape where all the cool enlightened old people hang out away from teenagers, right?

but oh no! dragon lord, a bad dude with a widow’s peak to rival Vegeta Dragonball’s widow’s peak; is there too! stomping around, ruining shit!

Splinter’s dreamscape buddy Chung I warns Splinter to stay out of the dreamscape ‘cuz Dragon Lord’s around

And like in true old people fashion, just ignores his friend’s admonition and tries to investigate himself

bad choice, womp womp

Splinter gets trussed up and rendered “stuck” in the dreamscape

cue the catalyst for Venus to make the 10+ flight from China to the U.S

don’t worry about what the boys were doing, just literal surfing in sewer grey water, breaking their little turtle skulls on cinderblocks, and picking fights in warehouses with Foot clan goons

tl;dr Venus still has Sixth Ranger mode on, so naturally she whoops all of their asses in the dark, ties them up (like how some of y’all enjoy writing Leo does huhu nudgenudge winkwink)

venusistheoriginalshibarienthusiastandteadrinkerfightme

and then, y’know, it’s still the 90s and children’s television so blah blah the usual “oH My gOd a GiRL tURTle???/?? AWoooOOogaaa ga ga ga” 

it’s.... I mean, i’m 38 so it no longer strikes me as bad as just really fucking embarrassing... for them. to be written saying. fuck, at least they didn’t make her bandana color pink.

so fast forward to Venus teaching them to dreamwalk so they can go rescue Splinter from Dragon Lord’s clutches in the dreamscape.

unfortunately, Dragon Lord offscreen murders Chung I so Venus is narratively anchorless post-rescue, so she’s invited to stay with them. thus ensues wacky hijinks with their new pal, Venus Boom Boom de Milo.

I glossed over the urge to write a cumulative review of Next Mutation. Just, take my word as the target demographic of the show during the last gasps of 90s Turtlemania that TNM was a trashfire overall but... y’know... if you ever needed a palette cleanser after some grimdark or angsty TMNT content, give TNM a whirl. The slapstick was intentional and The Point in the show. Venus’ circumstances for coming was as serious as it would get.

... Also, yes, they made them not related in TNM, preteen snackugaki didn’t clock why because I watched a lot of wuxia as a kid so brotherhood is a term beyond blood ties to me (and if I’m being honest, martial brotherhood is fkkn metal) and later I heard tell that it was to lure more girls into the franchise with both a girl turtle and romance options. which idk whatevs man. 

I also have to clear that, actually no, Donatello and Venus did not fight EVERY episode. Donatello, despite sprinkling a little too much barely disguised snobbery, did defer to Venus’ expertise in “the supernatural” when the situation called for it, and Venus would commend Donnie on his scientific ingenuity. They even teamed up skillsets to create surveillance drones! She essentially casted Calm Emotions on him while he tried to hack the controls of the Astro Megaship back for the In Space Rangers. They breached the divide between STEM and Humanities! They only had one “real fight" near the end of the season-- because Donnie was playing his containment breach elevator mid trash copyright strike immune proto-EDM too loud while she was trying to meditate. and that’s just being bad roommates tbh.

...christ I know it’s gonna come up too, but also NO, there was not constant advances made toward Venus during the show. At most was Mikey pulling his ol’ “I work out every day~!” schtick for like 2 episodes of the 5 spent to introduce Venus. And then after? A shipper’s desert, you’d have to dig and peer behind like 8 curtains for any viable fodder. 

...OKAY NOW FOR JENNIKA’S ORIGINS: Jennika is an IDW character specifically so, naturally why she isn’t in (or would’ve been, AHEM) a lot of iterations yet (or at all, COUGH) (but to continue in honesty there’s a lot of legal tape to cut through since Jennika is IDW’s while TMNT overall is Nick’s) Introduced as a Foot Assassin, her place in the Foot Clan shifts when Splinter takes over from Shredder (Saki), eventually she forms actual bonds with both the turtles and Splinter to where it’s implied she also saw him as an important figure to her if not an outright surrogate father figure. And because TMNT is mess and drama the other 50% of the time, Karai takes over the Foot from Splinter and shenanigans compounded by Karai’s then-current machinations for the Foot-- results in Jennika getting shanked in the stomach by Karai during a clandestine meeting to resolve clan rivalry. She’s losing blood fast, Donnie works to save her and it’s Leo who volunteers for blood transfusion to keep her stable mid-transit. 

SURPRISE!

Leo’s blood mutates Jennika into a mutant turtle. And then Casey ghosts/dumps her. My poor daughter. She has a real rough time of it before fully integrating with the boys. Raph falls in with Old Hob, gets hoodwinked, and now they live in Mutant Town. Jennika slowly finds herself again, as a mutant turtle, a Splinter clan ninja, a girlfriend, a guitarist in a band she started, a sister in a found family, and a constable to a very little town.

okay! we’re all marginally informed about my two wonderfull daughters, Venus and Jennika~!

so if I can indulge further, I’m going to use my cognizance and make it everyone’s problem because I have beem quietly foaming with ideas for bg lore for tactical!J&V, more bullet points!

ok so, donathan mentioned a bit about their tac! Leo and Donnie being the snipers, Mikey and Raph spotting for them while also being demolitions and heavy ordinance specialists respectively

I would think, then for Vee and Jen, they’d be classified as close quarters combat specialists, complicated extraction? compromised area? call them to clean up and clear out~

give or take “magic” being a thing used in donathan’s AU, or anyone’s AU of this AU, Vee would probably be a close combat specialist along with Jen.

Vee, I feel, would, barring a ...”tactical fan”, (even though in TNM it was just her fists and her little wizard components but her toy came with a fan so.) probably use batons, Jen in lieu of her tekagi-shuko would... most likely use tactical karambit. not that large of a leap really.

for my personal lulz, Vee and Jen are... accurate, height-wise. Raph gets to be the biggest brother since alligator snapping turtles are, in fact, the largest motherfucking freshwater turtles on the north american continent. no getting around it.

my Vee in all Rise AUs is a softshell since the messy hanzi used to write her first given name, Mei Pieh Chi (美鱉气) has the hanzi that’s most commonly translated as softshell turtle (鱉). eh ‘di wow talaga

snacku what do you mean ‘accurate’???? tl;dr female turtles are usually the larger ones in most species.

and listen, I love and I mean LOVE, how some of y’all have written the tac!boys, mwah; but god I’m a professional turtle bully. I need to see them get dunked on. for nutritional value. and if it comes to it, I will provide that food for myself. brb laughing at eventually drawing Venus just offhandedly tossing Donnie into the air to skeet shoot his ass for fun brings me the greatest joy.

they absolutely dote on Mikey, as is the natural order of things. 

and even tho I stated TNM Donnie and Venus got along in the show, and depending on the existence of magic in this AU; I just really love dichotomous rivalries (in as much “science” and “magic” exist as a dichotomy, much less as “diametrically oppose” fields-- just, opposites man. i’m a simple girl with simple trope needs)

Vee’s arms (and legs) are absolutely covered in burns, scars, and missing flesh divots, just as close to swiss cheese limbs as you can be

Jen and Donnie debate tracks that go into their joint “On Our Way To Commit Murder” playlist

if Vee’s tactical look seem very familiar, and you’re wondering if-- yes, you’re correct. and you can “call her ms. de milo if ya nasty”

Vee was actually pretty calm and rational in TNM... but for this AU, she can be a little unhinged, as a well-deserved treat. (and ‘cuz that specific anime unhinged facial expression is fun as fuck to draw, which is my treat)

liberals: straight cis white men are the worst amirite. anyways sex work is empowering and totally feminist

meanwhile sex buyers:

A new study says the majority of people paying for sex are married white men. The University of Minnesota took a deep look into who is buying sex in the state, and where they are going to find it. Their data shows that it is average everyday-looking men, with some disposable money, typically from 30 to 50 years old.
