one of my biggest gripes currently is the amount of people who will get super mad if u point out something that sexualises women and especially things that sexualise girls. like "ew why would u even think a 10 yr old in a crop top or a 4 year old in a bikini is sexual youre such a creep for even thinking that" like ok put ur fucking son in a crop top then. send him out in public wearing tiny little panties that have his ass sticking out. why are girls clothes so much smaller and tighter and more revealing than boys clothes?

5 minutes of research on what American troops did in Vietnam will make you understand why people called them baby killers

the thing about being a homeschool abolition hardliner is that people always want to come to you with some bullshit sob story about how you hate disabled people because they were bullied for being autistic and homeschooling was so amazing for them. and it's just like well unfortunately homeschooling is also a widespread tool of coercive control in child abuse used by christofascists to raise kids without the tools they need to function in the world so that they will always be afraid, dependent, and unable to think critically and discern right from wrong and truth from lies. so unfortunately i do think this is a situation where in order to prevent enormous harm to untold numbers of children those bullied kids who just don't wanna go to school are going to have to suck it up. (and in reality what i always propose is a more robust system of alternative/magnet public schooling set up for kids who are basically on grade level but who DO struggle to thrive in a mainstream setting, but nobody ever wants to hear that, they just want to guilt you for not thinking anyone who ever gets picked on should just get to stay home and play vidya and do all their lessons on zoom. and it's like honestly i don't think you're having this argument in good faith bc you are very much centering hypothetical discomfort you MIGHT HYPOTHETICALLY have experienced over, again, widespread child abuse and neglect. so.)

i really appreciate seeing all the posts on my dash recently to the effect of "shutting down conversations about race/gender/minorities in fandom spaces because 'fandom is meant to be fun' is just an excuse to not think critically about the bigoted behaviors you are exhibiting". i hope that this energy carries over into the gaming sphere next pleaaseee

pokemon is a series about building Your own team and going on Your own adventure with creatures that You collect and befriend, and is designed from the ground up to be personal and immersive. i have never been able to look like myself in a pokemon game. if i bought pokemon z a today and booted it up and tried to customize myself, i would not be able to look like myself. just fuck me i guess.

[the-valiant-valkyrie]

ok yay

I think its interesting that people even get to not realize these things. From being an 80s baby all the way to being a mean old Black lady, I have never been able to just not notice or not acknowledge being missing from the things. And even when enjoying things I was excluded from, I always thought when I was younger "Because these are white things that I just happen to also enjoy," BUT when you refer to things that do not include you as a thing that belongs to other group (I said white, and I know that don't apply to Pokemon, but it does to many, if not most other things), YOU are seen as the problem for pointing out that something created with only white people in mind is FOR white people. Yes, I can enjoy this thing (or could as a child), but this thing in which Black people are not represented was not made for me, or with me in mind and I shouldn't be seen as the problem for noting that.

the best time to lock in is 5 years ago; the 2nd best time to lock in is right now

[centrally-unplanned]

If you locked in 4 years ago you fucked up, wrong timing. Not even close to the 3rd best time. Just give up already.

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

every time it rains i have the urge to say “well our plan to stand alone in a field with a metal rod is out” which no one ever recognizes is from phineas and ferb but usually kills anyway

People are very weird about the anti-work thing. like do you think the 'I do not dream of labor' people are honestly, earnestly hating any and all labour no matter what the cause, process and outcome? It's like when people say 'I hate AI' and someone is like 'but what about AI in the medical field?' If you love labour so much then you should work that damn brain of yours and understand context and generalisation.

[drbased]

everyone agrees with you bub, you can chill.

people really fucking hate when anyone with leftist politics and morals dare to generalise and make our words accessible. people deep down still believe that leftism is made up of young dumb entitled bourgeoisie liberals who don't understand how the world or people work. and even if they are, I couldn't give two fucks about that because labour as it stands is exploited under capitalism. nitpicking the words and protestations of the exploited class is bootlicking bullshit, no different than saying 'not all men' to feminists. those 'labour-hating' people are still performing exploited labour, so their hatred of it is inconsequential.
