This is the perfect visual metaphor for heterosexuality.

dont gays have a power bottom thing? not everything is an attack against women. its supposed to be the moon and the sun. a super old ancient metaphor for men and women since forever. is it an equal metaphor? no i suppose not, since without the sun the moon doesnt shine. its old fashioned which doesnt agree with modern notions of equality necessarily but its a sweet old fashioned thought. the sun shines for the moon and makes its beauty known to the whole world. the sun doesnt hide the moon or demand anything from the moon, it just glorifies everything about it.which is how a man should be in a relationship: a sun to brighten the moon. 

dont gays have a power bottom thing?

DONT GAYS HAVE A POWER BOTTOM THING

OMG TEL ME MOAR I M FASTEN8ED

I'm trying to prove a point that there is a fan base for a solo Black Widow movie. Please reblog if you'd watch it.

I can’t remember if I’ve reblogged this before so I’m just gonna do it again for good measure.

Considering the fact that Lucy has already made back $50 million over its budget despite terrible word of mouth and an R rating, I'd say it's clear that plenty of people want more Scarlet Johansson-led action movies. Can't imagine a better one than Black Widow.

paul ryan is a delusional little goblin. a good cartoon.

Well, if you kill all the poor people...

There’s this post about how if your feminism doesn’t include destroying racism it’s white supremacy.

This is why it’s white supremacy. Like yeah Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a man, but he’s also a man of color. Gloating about how Lucy, a film where a white woman who’s shown to be shooting men of color for not speaking English in a country where English isn’t widely spoken… isn’t intersectional feminism. Instead it’s the essence of white feminism because it’s glorifying the white hero in a non white country, when we are less than a century away from white Europe having colonized the majority of what is now referred as “third world countries” make no mistake colonialism is not dead. So basically if you see Lucy in the theater unfollow me rn.

Boycott Lucy watch Hercules.

I watched Hercules today.  It was a good film, with great supporting actors, quite a few funny moments, Ian McShane (YES) and a lot of action. The Rock proves to be a very good actor, and really sells the character of Hercules.  

I’m not surprised the imagery being used around Lucy leading Hercules in the box office.  It feeds on all the negative views of the “Far East” that Hollywood has been milking for years.  Nothing has changed really.  I will say this… we’ve already known that white women lead movies (action or otherwise) sell.  We know that by looking at all the romantic dramas, adventure shows, and YA adaptations lead by young white women that make money.  So yeah, we’ll get MORE white women lead dramas, action, romantic comedies, and sci-fi movies.  But will that mean we’ll see Black, Asian, and Latinas getting to lead movies, too, since female lead action movies are selling and have been for the last 10 years? NOPE. 

But “yay feminism”… or some shit. 

My friend mentioned (just yesterday actually) that English is pretty widely used in Taiwan, the population has a 95% literacy rate, and that English is compulsory at a certain age…so Lucy’s pretty damn ignorant on a meta-level (as if we didn’t already know that just by viewing the trailer).

Those headlines remind me of those “kill all men” memes.

OKAY HEAR ME OUT yes definitely Lucy is racist bullshit OK but don’t go and see Hercules. Steve Moore, the guy who wrote the comic it’s based on, received no payment relating to the comic being picked up for film treatment, and in consideration of that asked that his name not be attached to the film. Following his death, his name became increasingly used to promote the film to capitalize upon the surge of interest in Steve Moore’s passing, adding extra insult to injury. "The only thing I am glad of is that apparently they’re not putting my name on it. Because it sounds like it’s going to be idiotic shit"

Don’t get me wrong I fucking love The Rock, but look at how prominently they use Steve’s name on the poster. Scumbags.

So anyway sorry to derail this post on intersectionality, DON’T SEE EITHER OF THESE FILMS maybe watch Snowpiercer instead which is awesome and at least has a few poc characters

I really feel for Steve Moore as a creator here, but honestly?

You get the contract you sign.  If he didn’t want his work used in a film without getting paid, he shouldn’t have signed a contract allowing that to happen.  That was a mistake.

And if the movie were bad, like really terrible, I’d be saying “wow you’re trampling on a guy’s memory here.”  But people are saying it’s good, and Dwayne Johnson is a good actor, and I think the net cultural effect is positive.

Also, I think that if Moore’s name has been used on the posters, that’s either because he agreed for that to be allowed in a contract, or his estate agreed.  Otherwise they’d have a reasonable lawsuit, and if they do I hope they sue and get a bajillion dollars from the studio.

That said, The Rock didn’t cook up the BS that the studio brought on the Moore estate, and I think we shouldn’t be like “PUNISH EVERYONE WHO WAS JUST DOING THEIR JOB AND MADE A GOOD MOVIE ‘CUZ THIS ONE GUY DIDN’T HOLD OUT FOR A BETTER CONTRACT THEN DIED.”

People worked hard on the film.  They’re creators too.  If it’s good, let it stand on that.

They’ve all already been paid, though. When you go or don’t go to a movie, the only people you’re helping or harming are A) the very small number of people who were able to get points on the gross as part of their contract, like the big name lead, and B) the producers and other shot-callers who actually were the ones who made the decisions you dislike. Hell, as we’ve seen with special effects houses lately, by the time you go see a movie, everyone whose hardworking involvement you want to support has probably already been paid *and fired*.

Sorry, I’ve just thought about this a bit, because I was always pissed off by those anti-piracy commercials that tried to imply to people that piracy takes money directly out of the pocket of Lenny, the poor, hard-working audio guy, etc.

Yeah, but how well the movie does will directly affect their future job prospects, keep that in mind.

People, people, there is a third way.

Go see Boyhood instead.

Lucy and Hercules are both stupid movies.

Don’t see stupid movies.

Or, crazy notion, maybe we should just inform people but ultimately let them see whatever movies they want to.

Zionism, anti-Semitism, the Jews, and YOU.

Do you hate what’s going on in Gaza right now as much as I do?

Let’s not compare.

Unless you’re there or you have relatives there—in which case, my heart goes out to to you.  The main point is, I really hate the situation in Gaza.  I hate the violence, I hate the terrorism, I hate the fact that it’s all being done on an international bill.

One thing, though, that you may not be familiar with is the cringing sense of fear that a Jew develops every time there’s another flareup of violence in the region and they just know they’re going to hear constant abuse being hurled at Israel and at Jews, and it’s going to get ugly.  It’s par for the course.

Sure, you and I may say we hate what’s happening and not be anti-Semites, but that’s not what I’m talking about.  I’m talking about the riots and protests in Antwerp and Paris calling for the Jews to be killed, or the one in Germany where people specifically said we should be “gassed.”  The people who make constant comparisons between Israeli violence and Nazi genocide.  I’m even talking about the guy at Dashcon who started chanting “DEATH TO ISRAEL!” at people in the ball pit for no apparent reason.

In my lifetime, I’ve watched as my usual liberal circles become more accepting of both casual and aggressive anti-Semitism. it only hurts the cause of a Palestinian state by alienating classical liberal allies—Jews like me.

Except he wouldn’t because of the damn prime directive.

Wrong: he would take some solemn thought, talk with Ro Laren as she would have the most insight and then beam down alone to negotiate a peace.

Hahaha I can’t believe I’m actually nitpicking...

If Picard's really smart (and he is) then he'd set a course for Bajor, maximum warp for the one person he really needs - Major Kira Nerys.

More Macklemore, less Robin Thicke.

And yet a huge percentage of Tumblr hates him. Not trying to be confrontational, but could someone please explain to me why this is?

Because he is a straight white guy and Tumblr isn’t always right. 

Yup. A lot of people like to ignore all the good things he does simply because he is part of the privileged. Never mind that he flat out acknowledges this in Same Love. (“I may not be the same, but that’s not important.”)

BLESS YOUR SOULS. 

BLESS YOUR FUCKING SOULS. 

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND THAT FUCKING A LOT OF TUMBLR HATES MACKLEMORE. 

BECAUSE HONESTLY, HE WAS EVERYTHING THEY WERE COMPLAINING WHITE PEOPLE AREN’T AND NOW THAT THEY GOT A FUCKING ROLEMODEL THEY SUDDENLY COMPLAIN?????? BECAUSE HE’S WHITE????? 

Macklemore grew up privileged, yes, but he understands the inequality and the disturbing gap between rich and poor. He has a song called White Privilege: 

"Hiphop started off in a block that I’ve never been to To counter act a struggle that I’ve never even been through If I think I understand just because I flow too That means I’m not keeping it true, nope.”

ALSO

"But as I’m blessed with the privilege, they’re still left with the scars"

AND HAVE YOU HEARD HIS SONG CLAIMING THE CITY???

"I grew up on Capitol Hill, With two parents and two cars. They had a beautiful marriage, we even had a swing set in our yard. My mom didn’t have a job, because my dad made enough money that we could live comfortably and he could support us. Now, he commute to Tacoma, so we knew we be good. But then I realized everybody looked just like me in my neighborhood. I go to school, which was diverse. But indeed us, I got sandwiches and Capri Suns well my friends ate their free lunch. It’s crazy trying to look back, cause when I was growing up I didn’t understand the fact was there’s something called a social status. And my black friends wanted my financial bracket. And then my city’s divided, From neighborhood to neighborhood We’re polarized but we claim we’re progressive. The police shoot in the hood but never once in my residence. As a white person been shot at we’d stopped in a Lexus. And to think that we have claimed that so much has changed”

OH GOODNESS ME, HE’S SUCH AN ASSHOLE. HE’S SO PRIVILEGED GOD.

HOW ABOUT A WAKE??? 

"Don’t wanna be that white dude, million man marchin’ Fighting for our freedom that my people stole Don’t wanna make all my white fans uncomfortable But you don’t even have a fuckin’ song for radio Why you out here talkin race, tryin’ to save the fuckin’ globe Don’t get involved with the causes in mind White privilege, white guilt, at the same damn time So we just party like it’s nineteen ninety nine Celebrate the ignorance while these kids keep dying.”

Tumblr needs to hop down off it’s high fucking horse and instead of turning against a potential role model and ally to all that they’ve been fucking preaching about JUST BECAUSE HE’S PRIVILEGED AND WHITE, maybe make him an icon because he’s not rapping about disrespecting women. He’s making a small change. But because he grew up with a well structured family environment and he was able to afford everything he desired, he’s suddenly the enemy. 

Macklemore hate is proof that Tumblr’s brand of militant social justice is just made up of a bunch of people with either a victimization fetish and/or a hateful, angry heart seeking acceptable targets, and they then proceed to poison the people that really just want to do good, ultimately mangling a good cause beyond recognition.

And 99% of people who complain about the first lyric of “Same Love” have never actually listened beyond that. Somebody tells them “The song starts with ‘when i was in the third grade i thought that i was gay’” and they start clutching their pearls because surely the whole song is just some straight dude making lgbtqa rights all about him and how he thinks because he thought he was gay when he was eight he knows all about it. And maybe it’s not the best way to word the beginning of the song, BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN OR READ BEYOND THAT it turns out it’s a segue into talking about ridiculous stereotypes and preconceived ideas about sexuality and questioning why someone would think it was a bad idea to be gay in the first place. And then it goes on to discuss the homophobia inherent in the music genre he’s a part of and calling his peers out on slurs and derogatory language and hypocrisy in religion, and it beautifully features Mary fucking Lambert, and goddammit I had trouble driving home when I first heard it in the car because I was fucking crying.

Macklemore is a privileged individual who consistently and vocally acknowledges his privileges and strives to use it to do legitimate good, which is everything Tumblr claims it wants, but as soon as he starts, they scream for him to shut up. Because their need to rage and scream and hate and wallow in willful ignorance is more important to them than seeing actual change take place anywhere in the world.

so glad i came across this post. you have to remember that tumblr :so called “activists” like to comment on anything that seems potentially bad, even if that means over-shadowing great points and progress that a lot of people, both gay and straight have wished for.

Yeah, except…http://www.people.com/article/macklemore-anti-semitic-costume-controversy

Oh, no. Tumblr hasn't reached a consensus you are 100% satisfied with regarding this one dude! Welp, better pack it all in. Tumblr is over now. Farewell forever.

I mean come on now. if you want to be mad that people tend to exist in small echo chambers where they only have to listen to people with the same opinion they have, then  good luck. You are going to hate everyone pretty much all the time including yourself, because that's what HUMANS DO. This phenomenon started with cave drawings. Tumblr is not new.

Also, yeah. Jew-face. He did it. I feel pretty alright not loving him absolutely. But SJW's, amirite?

1. someone disagreeing with you in a respectful fashion

2. someone helping you, if not monetarily, then through deeds and goods

3. someone saying that your behavior is problematic or hurtful

4. someone refusing to validate your opinion, when said opinion is not only not based in fact, but...

SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY ORTHODOX QUESTION TO ME

Yes, but *marry* the person who'll swindle nerds out of $17k for you.

Hahaha

"Men’s Rights" activist and self-proclaimed philosopher Stefan Molyneux pretends to be a woman posting a positive comment on his own video “debunking” Frozen but completely fails at account switching

What is this? I don't even... I mean if he waited like a minute longer, one of those "I'm one of the guys and feminism is stupid" women would have posted something similar for all the MRA's to lap up.
