i love to see people who are like "you can talk about csa but not around minors that's gross!" like idk how to tell you this but. who do you think is getting csa'd. i'll give you a hint: the first letter in csa does not stand for "adult"
One of my college professors, in a queer lit class actually, spent an entire class on the following argument:
“Push by Sapphire is children's literature. Prove me wrong.”
(Context if you're not familiar with the book and why this was an extremely provocative thing to say)
OP's point was exactly the bulk of my professor's argument. And imho my professor was right. Millions of children have to live through this shit every year. And I just remember my professor posing undergrads (some of them very indignant or offended about this line of argument) the question:
"So they have to live through it, but they're not allowed to read about it?"
Or, as the professor clarified, "So they have to live through it, but don't get to have access to the words and information they need to understand and process what's happening to them? They information they need to know that this is wrong, and telling the right person can (hopefully) save them from more of it?"
A lot of people tried to argue, "Well, okay then, kids who have had to live through that can read those books, but only those kids, it's not appropriate for kids who don't already know or have trauma about it."
But there is no way to reliably or completely separate out those two groups. After all, if there was, cases of csa wouldn't almost all go undetected or unpunished.
If you don't talk about csa to or in front of children, you drastically reduce children's ability to tell you when they're victims of it.
And gotta say, I spent a lot of the time sitting in that lecture (2016) thinking if a lot of tumblr users had to sit through it, they'd probably explode - and that's something to work on, if you relate to that response, because we need to be able to have these conversations - because when I say "think of the children!" I for once mean it unironically.
No matter what ethical system you use, it turns out music is no good for you
the way ppl talk about latinas is kind of very gross if I'm being honest
they're like reverse Asians bro they're all stacked and they're fiery mamacitas who you can break like a horse and make into domestic servants who love family
"bro I need a big booty latina" bro I need you to kill yourself
we're honestly completely fucked if zombies ever discover the power of working together synchronously using an agile team collaboration framework
Paw patrol -> Copaganda
Bluey -> Imperialist apologia that serves to treat the colonial fiction of "Australia" as something charming and harmless
Moral of the story? You need to start killing dogs
throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!
WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's
and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.
we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.
all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?
it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!
i generally dont go to utdr so i wont talk a lot about this, but re: toby fox and game localization: its so weird to me that he considers translating his game into japanese but not spanish some personal matter, so many more people speak spanish than japanese on this earth and not paying a pittance out of his fortune to localize a game in one of the most spoken languages on earth is just racism LOL its racist, he translated those games into japanese for aesthetics and because it was easy for him and he has cultivated this auteur aura and so many people have bitten
stop dickriding individual artists like theyre god and you'll stop feeling so crushed and conflicted when this kind of thing happens. your enjoyment of the art might even become more consistent!

"it's okay to rest for as long as you need from burnout" how long is it actually going to take though. there's stuff i wanna do.
i keep seeing this post get reblogged, and its kinda making me insane because its just...
okay i get the idea. bigots are stupid. thats true. but it doesn't present the idea that bigots are stupid because bigotry is inherently wrong and should exist. it presents them as stupid because its just the same joke three times over: "you got the wrong guy"
they're able to exempt themselves from the directed bigotry. but trans women and African Americans are still being explicitly subjected to transmisogyny and racism by this asshole.
"this guy called me the wrong slur" okay. he's still calling people slurs tho. are you going to do anything about that? report the account? protect and defend the people who are being targeted? nope, youre just gonna screenshot and post it on tumblr. so i have to be subjected to this over and over again every time i look at my dash?
