number one estranged puppet show producer shane madej @wearewatcher

who’s ready for the finale

[image description: a comic of shane madej, ryan bergara, and the (fake) professor from puppet history. in panel one, the professor is attacking a panicked ryan with a knife. in the foreground, shane sternly says, “let me see what you have!” the professor gleefully shouts, “a knife!” in panel two, a disinterested shane says, “okay, just checking,” and looks down to a clipboard with notes. he fully ignores ryan shouting his name as he gets dragged away by the professor.]

I promise myself that I would make a ref of every new character I make on Roblox (my guilty pleasure) as an excuse more than anything, regardless, I'm in love with my new Avatar 🦚✨

I'm starting to find evidence on twitter of antis encouraging each other to shun friends and family for not being one of them and I am deeply concerned. This is some cult shit.

"should I shun my friend for being proship even though they're my only irl friend?"

"Should I shun my mother for being proship?"

The answer to both of these is GET HELP. You are being brainwashed into thinking that your friends and family are dangerous when you know that they wouldn't hurt anyone. See a therapist, take some time off the internet, reevaluate your situation. Fiction does not take precedence over your loved ones.

I'm tagging this with "antis please interact" because I think they need to see this too, and hopefully it helps someone. Your loved ones are not dangerous because of their taste in fiction.

It's really disturbing how we are watching a really unhealthy, purity obsessed minority become way, way too vocal. Are they becoming a majority among young fans, or are they just drowning out the other opinions?

Do these CHILDREN realize they are parroting the conservative "think of the children" dog whistle? Do they not realize that the same irrational fear of fiction negatively affecting reality is the same logic these book banning bigoted assholes are using to justify pulling books with LGBTQ characters? Because they are scared their straight child will become gay from reading a book! Because we all know THAT'S how that works, right?!

If reading books with queer characters doesn't make you gay, why the fuck would reading a fanfic with an underage character make you a pedophile? Did watching Game of Thrones make everyone suddenly cool with incest? No! Nothing changed!

Maybe these kids are confusing the concept of Representation Matters, where telling minority focused stories can be beneficial for that minority. Except they can't tell the difference between Watsonian and Doylelist analysis of a story. They can't differentiate between what the author is saying, what the setting is saying, and what a character is saying. So they think any mention of these "bad" things is bad because clearly it is condoning the behavior! Because video games DEFINITELY made me think murder is okay in real life, so I will definitely start grooming children because I read a teacher/student high school AU!

ITS' THE SAME FAULTY LOGIC!!

Actual faith vs performative religion.

To shave your beard is a huge sacrifice for a devout Sikh. It is a sacrifice for the greater good, that many people will scoff at without understanding the amount of love it took, to give up part of your faith to serve the greater purpose of that faith. Bless them all.

you have GOT to be able to admit when you’ve believed something bigoted in order to improve as a human being. like you NEED to be able to handle that if you want to act in line with your values

I just want to add that bigotry is a marble layercake, it's not a black and white infographic of good versus bad. Some bigotry is up front, "Oh, why do I assume that particular accent makes that person sound stupid?" and easy to point out to yourself Some bigotry is more hidden, "I feel unsafe in certain locations, despite no signs of danger" which could very well not be bigotry but you gotta get in the habit of questioning those knee jerk reactions before just blindly assuming you're having them for valid reasons A lot of bigotry is just stuff you learned and never unlearned, so when it's pointed out to you your first response is NO! THAT'S A REAL THING I LEARNED! the best antidote to this is learning that we are all ignorant gits and lifelong learners, and it's ok to be wrong. Learn to laugh at yourself and you'll have less hard of a time unlearning stuff I promise
