I’ve been waiting all year to post this.

using “dissociate” when actually meaning “spaced out for a bit” walked so using “gaslighting” when actually meaning “lying” could run

This is using “triggered” when actually meaninf “pissed off” erasure.

I don’t have words strong enough to express how much I despise the goblin slayer style of fantasy

“I fill my page space with graphic violent genocides against ‘lesser’ beings which I justify logically by portraying entire races of sentient beings as evil rapists and emotionally by writing them as the perpetrators of horrific fetishized sexual violence.”

Everything about you is rancid and vile. Like not to sound like David Lynch but do you genuinely think you’re doing anything but spewing pure garbage into the public consciousness?

Goblin slayer is my whipping boy here but it’s not alone in using violent atrocities, misogynist ones especially, to give entire races their “really actually evil” credentials, so the audience can feel justified putting aside moral compunctions and cheering for genocidal crusaders. Fantasy dudebros aren’t as mask up as they think when they loudly cheer for “purging elves” or whatever and the writers also aren’t slick with how much effort they put into writing that into a realm of moral acceptability.

Any SFF that has any kind of "inherently evil" race or species should be regarded with EXTREAM SUSPICION. The fundamental notion that biology and genetics give rise to moral and immoral races is waaaaay gross.

girl what

Thank you for providing the worst thing I’ve read in years. It’s a gift actually

What’s funny is that this actually happened. 

I’m unfamiliar with this story please elaborate

Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis. 

Did he survive?

Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).

His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up

HAIKU BOT???

this is a wild ride from start to finnish

Hm… Mario’sa saw an ad in the newspaper for’a part time job! Mario’sa gonna take it! It’a seems like easy pay! Yahoo!

First’a night on the job, everyone!

Why are they moving.

this picture i took of my girlfriend taking a picture of our cat is absolutely killing me

reminds me of this

@kisakisaxo

THAT IS HIM. THAT’S THE FACE. 

If anyone would like to see the end result of the picture I was taking of him:

hey you guys know what’s shitty!!!!

my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!

the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.

someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.

i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!

rebelbaze delete challenge

If I catch anyone at pride making the event unsafe for anyone, they’re gonna catch these fucking hands. If I’ll throw down with protesters and terfs you bet I ain’t scared to defend people being harassed by gatekeepers.

imagine believing a lesbian should be assaulted at pride for not being visibly lesbian. imagine believing an asexual should be assaulted at pride for existing.

the stonewall inn flies the ace flag. stonewall itself supports aces.

​ace people were around at the time of the riots as well

If you don’t think ace people are part of the community feel free to shove it and never open your mouth again

“people would think she’s just there to tell people about her sexual attraction, which is not really appropriate for the event”

exclusionists stop literally reciting homophobic talking points challenge

Reminder that if you’re a fucking exclusionist, you’re officially excluded from my blog and also fuck you.

“If she’s not there to celebrate lesbian pride then she’s just telling people about her sexual attraction which isn’t the point of pride” 

It’s… it’s actually LITERALLY the point… like LITERALLY. If you tell people you’re gay or lesbian or bi you are LITERALLY telling them your sexual attraction, how is it okay for other orientations but not for asexuals? Like… please listen to the words coming out of your mouths… I’m begging 

What is or isn't a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.

"Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma" doesn't contain a slur, but "What are you, some kind of fag?" does.

"Queer studies", "the queer community" and "I'm queer"? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a "dirty queer"? Slur.

"Be gay, do crimes" and "He's gay" ≠ slur, but "Ew, that's so gay" = slur.

In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking "q slur" bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren't using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.

white people go like “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman evil character as a poc?” and not wait for an answer

white people go “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman good character as a white person?” and not wait for an answer

white people can rb but please do not clown

white people really cant give a shit abt anyone but themselves unless held at gunpoint or smth huh?

“what about the poor little white kids just trying to have fun?” what about the poor little kids of color made to feel unsafe and unwelcome in a space that was supposed to be fun?

“why can’t poc just make their own redesigns and we can keep these ones” why cant you realize that your actions have consequences and that you should maybe try to not enforce racist stereotypes??

like ofc its ideal to have VARIETY among both villains AND protagonists, its when your characters look like this

that the issue arises

scratch “can”, white people are encouraged to reblog

Honestly please can we just normalise nonverbal communication? It breaks my heart seeing autistic people being put through “therapies” such as ABA to try and force them into talking. There is nothing wrong with autistic people using communication devices, sign language and other means to communicate and they should not be forced into talking out of fear and abuse.

Okay but there are several reasons that are kinda interesting

1) fast food restaurants cannot advertise to children anymore, so that means no more bright colors and child friendly mascots

2) McDonalds and the like have been loosing ground to “fresh fast food” chains like Chipotle for the better part of two decades, and this style is meant to emulate that more clean, “mature” style.

3) Resale on property. See, fast food isn’t doing as well as it did in the 90s-early 2000s, and where it used to be fairly rare to have a fast food place close, now a days you might have a location close, and good luck selling the old, branded building to a completely different business. You know those closed Pizza Huts that just sorta sit there forever, very clearly having been a Pizza Hut? Well as it turns out, most businesses don’t want to buy a building that is recognizably from a different brand. You’d basically have to tear down the building and start over, a costly decision when there are plenty of plain looking spaces that you can buy/rent and put a lot less cost into renovations. So for a fast food chain now, it’s far better to have a plain “this could be any sort of counter service place, just change the signs!” In case you have to close that location and sell the building.

Basically fast food places look like this now because fast food is an industry that is well past it’s peak profits, and businesses must plan for their eventual closure and for their building to simply be absorbed into the next trend or monopoly.

This makes sense but also there's an urgent care in my area that has the pizza hut roof

Do you ever just stop and think about that photoset for the “Five Doctors” where Tom Baker was not present so they decided to pose his wax figure instead like it was a completely normal thing to do?

ngl i went through the first three trying to figure out which one was the wax one and it’s the exact last one i even considered

Same

I noticed when I was a kid that adults seem to forget that everything is real, no matter how young you are. A seven year old doesn’t feel like a helpless infant, they feel the oldest and most mature they’ve ever felt. And they will when they turn eight, too. And nine. Twenty. Thirty. Fifty.

You never feel as young as you are, because you’re always the oldest you’ve been. You can only look back and equate childhood with ignorance and silliness, because there were things you didn’t know then. But there are things you don’t know now, too, that someone older is looking down at you for.

I promised myself I would never forget that, growing up. I put it in a time capsule when I was nine because I wanted to be certain. And sometimes it slips away, and I catch myself scoffing at people younger than me, but you have to fight that. You have to hold on. You have to keep a little bit of your younger mind inside you, so you don’t forget.

I think that’s important.

Remember that you’ll always change, but know that the person you’ll become isn’t going to be any more real than the person you are, or the person you were. They’re still going to feel like You.

hey if someone in your life changes their name or pronouns you are in fact expected to spend time on your own updating the way you think of them. that is a basic expectation of deceny.
