regular plea for people to stop using this as a reaction image

[ID: A white man in a suit who is saying, "Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die". End ID]

this is a real sentence that was said by a during an snl skit by the guy in the picture (norm macdonald) in response to a real news story - specifically, the murder of brandon teena, a trans man, whose death macdonald is mocking here. this very sentence that has now been turned into a meme prompted a trans rights org to picket the nbc in absence of any apology from them (the statement here slightly misquotes the sentence, but you can find video demonstrating that the wording in the image is what he said). i've used this as a reaction image in the past when i didn't know the history behind it but i think more people should know and we should stop using it like this

couldnt stop fucking thinking about this all day at work

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

several times a day i will come across a post that i would otherwise agree with about a Thing Being Bad but it is unfortunately like inexplicably linked to a reactionary societal decay narrative for like no reason whatsoever

people will say shit like 'people are so unwilling to seriously engage with media nowadays' and its like. what is that 'nowadays' doing at the sentence when was this mythical time youre positing when everyone was sitting in a circle discussing critical theory be serious

hard to describe the feeling of finishing inside

honestly all i can say is you gotta try it for yourself

based off that one text post special thanks to @scharfkugel for putting this into my head

do people even know the extent of sanctions on the iranian people? my mom's family can't afford fruit anymore. it's a state of psychological warfare; literally nobody living there has any sort of hope for the future. added sanctions from the EU are going to destroy the lives of 87 million innocent people

as my cousin put it: "there is no point to saving up out of uncertainty that it will be worth anything in a month. what investments can you make in the future when you can't even be sure how much food will cost tomorrow? this isn't living." there are, of course, absolute shortages as well—my late grandmother experienced a period of deterioration because the medicine she needed was just not available. many such cases.

shit like this should be radicalizing people
