Daenerys Targaryen + a few of the endless scenes (from multiple seasons) in which her show version was portrayed as the opposite of her book version

The difference is night and day. D&D should never have gotten ahold of this IP to begin with.

They really went like: I am going to take this ex-slave girl’s accomplishments and give it to the slavers.

Productivity has always been there

Because shockingly when people enjoy what they do (you make it enjoyable instead of just hammering on them) people WANT to do things!

Fanfiction authors!!

Where is the button to shout this from the rooftop?

And how many other things have been montized simply because the creator of those things had to survive in our current economic system that wouldn’t have been otherwise?

Some people think just because they themselves are a selfish asshole that everyone else must be also.

Be careful when you donate to different organizations!!!! Because of the way the lebanese system works, some donations may be considered illegal and can’t be accepted! Lebanese Red Cross is one of the legal ones, so if you can donate, do it!

If you know any other organizations that are okay to donate to, please add!!

Right now, Beirut looks like a war zone. The city center is only about a kilometer away from the blast site, and is completely ruined. Buildings as far as 20 kilometers away were heavily damaged.

A lot of people are still missing in the ruins, and families are desperately trying to find them. Lots of people lost their homes and have nowhere to go.

Please donate to help!

I just,,, have Thoughts about Bulbbul and its portrayal of women. how every one of them had a voice even if sometimes softer than the others. Bulbbul, obviously, goddess. she stated her mind, despite men ignoring her and straight up not listening to what she was saying. and Bindohini is such a perfect foil for her. she fought tooth and nail for what she wanted, albeit doing it the wrong way. they resent each other, but there's a reason Bulbbul never killed her even though she had reasons to, because she recognised they were both victims of the same system. and all the women in the film are shown, clearly and powerfully, that they're struggling under the weight of this oppression. Bulbbul's aunt tries to be glad about Bulbbul's marriage, but she sees the child before her and warns her as best as she could. she aches because she knows this is Wrong and she's unable to stop it. the man's first wife who was tossed out of her home because he found a different woman to marry, even her story is Shown and she has a voice, however morbid. even the little girl in the bath got to show her horror and confusion at what was happening to her. and the repeated imagery of Ma Kali watching over them all. just.

Women.

Okay kids time for a lesson on fetishisation from your friendly neighbourhood twink.

A fetish is a sexual interest in something that isn’t inherently sexual. For example: someone with a Leather Fetish is someone who is aroused by leather, most likely for the sensation of wearing it or being impacted by it but that’s up for variation.

To (wrongly) fetishise something refers to making something sexual, or giving the impression that something SHOULD be seen as inherently sexual. An example of this is “race fetishes” and even the heteronormative view of the woman’s body.

For example: Someone who claims to have a preference for only people of another race, like a white man who claims to prefer Asian women because they’re “demure” and sexualises them is fetishising them.

A person who can’t handle another breastfeeding their child in public because they believe breasts are sex organs (when they are in fact, not) is fetishising the feminine body.

To put it simply, it’s taking something not sexual and putting it in a sexual context. This is fine with objects, clothing (to a degree that’s entirely personal), and similar non-living things.

However when putting this into context of living people, it strips them of their autonomy in the fetishiser’s mind. Even if it’s unintentional, to view a living person in a strictly sexual nature is equating them, essentially, to a sex object.

In relations to MLM, it’s fetishising if you only allow or accept MLM relationships if you stand to gain something from it. In this case pleasure or sexual satisfaction.

Enjoying gay porn or MLM ships is fetishising if you look down on those same groups outside a sexual context or set standards for them to be “acceptable” to you.

An example of this could be feminising one of the two characters to make the couple “straighter”. Keep in mind feminisation is not always fetishising, it’s the CONTEXT of it that’s important. Doing it to “make them straight” is fetishising. Doing it because “dude looks good in a skirt and I like wearing skirts so I like the idea of my favourite characters wearing these skirts” is not fetishising.

Another example is if you watch and enjoy gay porn but don’t feel gay couples should have the right to adopt children. You don’t view them as equal to straight couples but you use them for sexual pleasure. This is fetishising.

So to wrap it up: liking something doesn’t mean you fetishise it. If you’re genuinely worried you fetishise people evaluate the context of which you view them.

The notes of this post are quiet. Too quiet. Weird there isn’t any backlash yet.

Also yes, thank you op.
