Tumblr user with the words punk and crime in their username: The ONLY way to change a corrupt system is to work from within it! Revolution is not an option and destroying the system is 100% impossible!! Anyone who refuses to participate in that system is actually a poser leftist leech!!!

booktok videos should be categorized as some sort of threat to public health
I always loved this little moment in Sonic Mania Adventures where Sonic turns to check on Tails after getting bodied by Metal.
“Oh I'm gonna kick this guy's ass--”
“little bro okay? 🥺”
“I'M GONNA DOUBLE KICK HIS ASS.”
I cant do this anymore
this is a niche one but instead of "they would not fuckin say that" it's "they would not fucking use American sign language".
ASL is not the only sign language. two british characters in your fanfiction would not be using ASL. England in fact has its own kind of sign language, BSL, that forms a sign family with many other sign languages around the world.
ASL isn't even the original member of its sign family, it comes from french sign language. do you know sign languages aren't related to spoken languages? that's an important one! it's not a direct 1:1 with people speaking English around the world. people in other countries don't learn ASL just in case they run into an usamerican or Canadian (who do often use it)
i know the entire world is the USA or whatever and sign languages do sometimes borrow from ASL for signs they don't have, but please be aware that there are other sign languages and families in the world that are not in fact ASL.
and on a mostly related note, a lot of media seems to only ever depict sign language in the context of mutism instead of the WAY WAY more common deafness. especially in fanworks where they don't want to have to deal with a character being more inconveniently disabled than just "can't talk", but it's still noticeable in normal media also.
going to a collection of signing characters and going "well you can't all be hearing but mute". like the ratio of deaf to mute characters would be so disproportionately innacurate it's almost insulting. past a certain point it feels like you just don't want to deal with deaf people.
Quotes (internal links preserved)
First: Sign languages are full-fledged natural languages with their own grammar and lexicon.[1] Sign languages are not universal and are usually not mutually intelligible,[2] although there are also similarities among different sign languages.
and
Second: The number of sign languages worldwide is not precisely known. Each country generally has its own native sign language; some have more than one. The 2021 edition of Ethnologue lists 150 sign languages,[5] while the SIGN-HUB Atlas of Sign Language Structures lists over 200 and notes that there are more that have not been documented or discovered yet.[6] As of 2021, Indo-Pakistani Sign Language is the most used sign language in the world, and Ethnologue ranks it as the 151st most "spoken" language in the world.[7]
