wise man of the mountain
I just found out I turned half the male population gay
Story goes, a couple of years ago I digital painted this accursed image:
I don’t visit tumblr all that much these days but today I did, and I found a comment that said something along the lines of “Is this the original Ricardo Megamind meme?” and I was like “WHAT MEME?”. So I googled it and:
MY NAME IS MARLENA SIDOR. I AM (or was until my tools broke) A FREELANCE DIGITAL ARTIST FROM POLAND. AND I PAINTED THIS SH**
I don’t mind it being a meme. It’s a fanart. I painted it for fun and because I really like that movie. I see this entire thing as a form of flattery. Also, you’re welcome, since this may be the closest you will ever see of a “live-action” Megamind (and considering how all the recent remakes of old classics are, it may be for the best).
I only want to know one thing, WHO THE F** IS THIS RICARDO?
The way I’m not seeing people wearing masks anymore is disturbing…
small reminder, for those who are fully vaccinated: I highly encourage you to still wear your mask so that you can not only protect yourself from new COVID variants, but also protect those who still don't have vaccines and from passing on new variants you may have not known you were exposed to.
Also, no one can tell whether or not you’re vaccinated or an anti-vaxxer and anti-masker. Please just show basic respect for other people and wear a mask if only to ease their very reasonable anxiety about being around maskless people.
The CDC has stated multiple times we never needed to wear masks, they don't actually do anything, and we especially don't need any real reason to wear them now. What this is is a massive propaganda on a global scale. Maybe you should do the tiniest amount of research and think for yourselves. Masks are more harmful then helpful and the CDC which is the Center For Disease Control- AKA the original source that said you do have to wear masks, has retracted that original statement. How about worry about yourselves, and don't make people wrong or literally tell others how to live if you are going to think like a sheep or a lemming and not have any sort of awareness for the world. Basic fucking respect is realizing an apartheid is still an apartheid even if they aren't dividing us by skin alone. This post is extremely disturbing. It shows how easy it really is for everyone to slip into a fear-mongering mindset and start segregating others and using a "for the general good" as the excuse. Go look up how the Holocaust started. You'll be surprised to find you are Literally acting like the Jewish individual who sicked the Nazis on their fellow Jews speaking the truth, educated, critically thinking individuals. What was left was a mass of sheep, who were much easier to drive to slaughter because all the ones who were willing to question things were gone already. Don't be a Nazi.
Because of that time, there is a uniform law of codes - the Nuremberg Code. It states
1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
(A priori means you don't have to have evidence supporting your beliefs. It's true regardless of previous experience or observation.)
6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
Almost if not all of these have already been violated numerous times in multiple countries during the course of this "quarantine." The only real individuals who were ever at risk were the elderly and the frail, mostly individuals with auto-immune disorders. Which we will most likely see a huge increase of in the general population in the next 3-24 months BECAUSE of the vaccines you people have put above actual living breathing people. A segregation by any other name is still segregation. Don't be a blind follower. It may not end up in your favor.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. If you want more info I suggest researching for once and actually thinking about what's happening, where you are getting your sources of information from, and what could they gain by telling things to you. You'll find your eyes might be opened a little wider.
Okay, just to get this out of the way, there is no need to wear a mask if you've had both doses of the vaccine and its been a long enough time since you've recieved the vaccine. The real issue right now is low vaccination rates and non-vaccinated people not continuing to take precautions. I think some of the comments on this post, while well intentioned, are less promoting masks when appropriate and are more sowing doubt about vaccine efficacy.
But FUCK, I am so distracted by this disgusting response to the original post. Like no, I can't believe I have to say this but public health guidelines are not the equivalent of NAZI EXPERIMENTS and just copying and pasting the Nuremberg Code doesn't mean you've justified your ridiculous, hyperbolic and not to mention offensive comparison to the fucking holocaust. And I know,I know, people like this clearly don't care who they offend, this might be just be some trolling, etc. Believe me, I spend much of my time watching Wonder Showzen clips. I am not easily offended. But I guess I found my limit. I can't even laugh at this person invoking the holocaust while also dismissing the mass death (3.78 million to be exact) caused by this pandemic and showing total disregard for the frail and elderly. I can't even laugh at this absolute dunce telling people not to be a sheep while reciting talking points they got off the internet and thinking they've made some grand point. Like damn I'm not the least bit Jewish, despite what alt right shitheads might say, and I'm offended by how antisemitic this is.
Oh god and there's a comparison to apartheid as well. Is this fucking serious?
Like aside from how offensive this is, especially to people who lived through those actual atrocities, do you realize that when you make an analogy you actually have to demonstrate a connection between the two things you are comparing? Did your 6th grade English teacher ever tell you that? Guess not.
Let me just say that we've known that masks help reduce the spread of respiratory illness for decades. You can read huge meta-analysises of decades old studies on this. This is not some evil coordinated propaganda effort. This is why disposable masks have been available at every hospital emergency room waiting area since long before Covid19 ever existed. The fact that this is become a matter of politics and source of conspiracy is honestly more proof of that people are sheep and will believe anything than public health guidelines simply existing.
But nah, you're right, it's all some giant plot and you know what? The nazis want you to wipe your ass and wash your hands so you might as well stop doing that too. Also the seatbelt in your car is actually just a strangulation device. Don't be like those nazis. Drive 90 mph with no seat belt and don't even keep both of your shit-caked hands on the steering wheel.
An important reminder to all of you who are still considering whether to wear masks in public - it’s not only the elderly or the frail who are hospitalized or dying because of COVID.
you guys HAVE to take “is dumb” off the end of your username. you have to take “my shit rambles” out of your talking tag. you have to stop apologizing for existing. I get so sad for every url I see like “[name]’s-stupid-reblogs” and every blog I open with a title like “pointless posts” and every opinion post I see tagged something derogatory by op!! speaking as someone whose post tag used to be “makes bad posts.” stop actively putting up roadblocks for yourself!! why do we always say bullying is bad but never when we’re bullying ourselves
everyone give it up for the best tag on this post
excuse me sir but does this count as sword fighting

you know what’s really genuinely unsettling? the degree to which men fucking do not want to sympathize with/be interested in women.
male audiences will happily watch a dozen superhero shows, but then something like Agent Carter or Supergirl turn up and they’re panned from the first trailer and have to struggle for ratings. male audiences will watch countless installments of a franchise as long as it’s about men doing man things but the second a character like Rey or Furiosa or god forbid four entire female Ghostbusters steps up and takes a position of prominence it’s “pandering sjw bullshit”.
it’s not pandering. men just aggressively don’t want to have to be invested in a woman’s narrative and it’s really gross.
anyway re: everyone telling me to “Stop making this a gender thing” or some variation on that
this isn’t like… an opinion I’m pulling out of my ass here? this starts where earlier than tv shows and hollywood blockbusters, when all the kids in a class are reading Harry Potter or Percy Jackson or Eragon o Lord of the Rings or Maze Runner or whatever the hip book is right now. the books like that, the ones that become popular reading, are overwhelmingly about male leads, because male is still considered the default.
there’s a split in YA literature, between books that are “for everyone” and “for girls”, and that’s honestly the entire issue in a tiny little box right there. stories about men are supposed to be accessible for everyone, but stories about girls are seen as 1.) inherently for women and 2.) something that only women will care about.
men grow up in a society that doesn’t make them go out of their way to get into the heads of women and empathize with then. historically it’s been very easy for men to not engage with female-led media if they don’t want to, whereas (like someone else commented on this post) girls and women have had very little choice in the past because everything was about men. we didn’t even question it.
and now the women are arriving in mainstream media in ways that say they’re important and they matter and
small (or sometimes not so small) but loud-enough-to-be-acknowledged groups of men lose. their. shit.
because they think there’s something inherently Not For Them about a woman’s story, and they never learned how to deal with it.
(also once again, because LOT of ya’ll don’t seem to get this here: I’m trying to talk about knee-jerk reactions to female-centered works - often before they even come out. not whether or not you personally thought [x show or movie] was good. ya feel?)
i don’t think i’ve ever read a single post that i’ve agreed with so totally and so immediately and here’s why:
i love books, right? and from the ages of about 11-15 i was insanely invested in teenage/ya fantasy and sci-fi. harry potter, percy jackson, all of the books op listed above- and one of the things that made those books so great was that you could have a conversation about them with anyone! a lot of the guys in my class also loved this type of genre and i’d often talk about books with them (even my own brother has read all of the books listed above) we’d have long, interesting conversations about these books and it was great.
but then i’d mention something about the hunger games, or the divergent series, or uglies, the raven cycle, mara dyer, the mortal instruments, the selection, etc. and the response would always be the same: either ‘i haven’t read it’ or ‘i couldn’t get into it’ or ‘it doesn’t seem like my type of thing’
even outside of the ya genre, looking at something like contemporary fiction or whatever- do you know how many guys will talk endlessly about the great gatsby or catcher in the rye or any other male-centric novel? but when you bring up something as influential as pride and prejudice or jane eyre or practically /anything/ written by/focused around a woman- you get the same responses as before
society has made it so that women have no choice whether to engage with male-centric stories or not: from children, a big portion of the media we consume focuses on the male perspective and like,,, that’s not necessarily a bad thing /in itself/- the bad thing is that it doesn’t work both ways and it’s not an even split. whereas young girls are surrounded by and expected to empathise with films/books/media concerning men, it’s not the same for young boys: they have narratives that either focus entirely or largely around them.
women have no trouble consuming media that focuses on a male narrative because it’s been labelled as the default, the ‘normal’- whereas men struggle to watch/read anything that doesn’t focus around them because they’ve never /had/ to.
I haven’t actually realized how big of an issue it is until I’ve read the Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. To those of you haven’t read it, it’s a YA fantasy story where all the protagonists are women and I couldn’t help but be like “why aren’t there more stories like this? Why is the majority of heroes men?” and honestly that was the point where I started counting all of the female heroines in my favorite books and the ratio was insane.
Also, I’ve tried recommending it to my male friends and most of them backed off instantly when I mentioned it was mostly about women, claiming they won’t be able to identify with them. Ironic, right?
oh my gdO CAN YOU DRAW GODZILLA MOMMA CARRYING LIKE A HUNDRED LIZARD BABIES ON HER BACK FOR TAKE YOUR CHILD (lizard) TO WORK DAY

the unholy trinity of piss-poor caretakers, tag yourself:
tomboy, meaning "this child is clearly queer but let's hope it goes away"
sensitive, meaning "clearly neurodivergent and often distressed but let's keep going until they grow numb"
mature, meaning "traumatized but let's ignore that"
quiet, meaning "has been yelled at or ignored a few too many times and now considers all attempts at communicating with others to be pointless"
self-sufficient, meaning "next to zero trust in parental figures' ability in various aspects of parenting"
lazy, meaning "depressed, but expected to preform tasks or actions without positive support or knowledge of how to do things"
The way Zoro knew Sanji could do it without a problem.
I mean... They're still bickering about it even while he is already on Sanji's foot, neither of them even paused, and the absolute trust they have in each other's abilities is just so so good, okay? 💚💛
You know how sometimes you see a character and you’re like “okay I know I have a type but jesus c h r i s t”

Anon Hate IS Illegal.
Guys, I’m not kidding.
Suicide-baiting, cyberharassmemt, cyberstalking, death/rape threats, and hate speech are illegal in all 50 states as well as Australia and the UK.
Please click on any state to learn exactly what the bullying and/or cyberbullying law(s) cover.
There is no legal definition of cyberbullying within UK law. However there are a number of existing laws that can be applied to cases of cyb

Some places include school suspension or expels. Some even include jail time for multiple years.
And yes, they can find someone by username or IP alone.
Also, yes. There are methods of catching someone’s IP. Even under a VPN.
Leo Traynor, an Internet user in Ireland, had a problem. More specifically, he had a troll, a very nasty troll.
So.
Next time you get hit with anon hate?
Casually remind them you can very easily take this to the next level. And they can earn jail time while you lay back in your chair, having saved yourself and everyone else from a violent criminal.
Your online actions have real life consequences.
Make sure they learn that.
(Just in case there’s a “the police wouldn’t do that” - Yes. They absolutely would.
Two 12-year-olds in Florida were arrested for cyberbullying in connection with the death of a middle-school student who police say hanged he
The Kerala police on July 28 took into custody the man alleged to have been the key tormentor of Hanan Hamid, the 19-year-old Kerala student
An Onslow County man was arrested Monday after officials conducted an investigation into a cyberbullying case.
Or a “I can handle it.” No. That person will continue to harass others as well. And one of them may not be as strong as you. So do it for them and everyone else.
Or a “It’s not that severe.” Yes. It is. People have died because of this. It really is that severe.)
Take action. And make sure the lives of these bullies are truly wrecked.
You guys better fucking reblog this.
Don’t just like it, reblog it. So people know.
You cowards better reblogged this
Wish I’d known this when an ex-friend was doxxing me and I ended up in psychiatric inpatient.
That moment when fiction really will affect reality is, when you bully someone online over it and get arrested for it.
I don’t get harassed much but I see people doing awful shit on this site, so if this helps someone I will share it
Is it now? Hmm Interesting
oh shit that’s a thing?

I was stalked and cyber bullied anonymously when I was twelve. I wish I reported it. Don’t be like fairywithgremlintendencies. Report bullying 😤
If any of you are still wondering, cyberbulling is not as simple as “you can just block/ignore your hater” or “close your laptop/turn off your phone and it’ll pass” or “everyone faces critique in social media nowadays, so it’s not really this unusual”. There are real-life consequences for victims of it and in many countries, cyber haters go unpunished because of the lack of adequate laws to qualify them as actual criminals. Please, spread the awareness!
hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the world, they were enslaved because it was economically rewarding and politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <oppressed group> did this major catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)
Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.
I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻
If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.
I’ve had this post on insta saved for sometime ❤️
[ID: three pictures edited together from keikofitz on instagram. Each image features a cat head drawn on a yellow sticky note accompanying a PSA.
The first image reads “Hey! Reminder: Eskimo is a Slur [“slur” is underlined twice]. It means “Snow Eaters” in Cree and is a slur against Inuit.”
The second image reads “And don’t use ‘Eskimo Kisses’ It’s called Kunik [“Kunik” is underlined]. It’s a greeting mostly used for family [ellipsis]”
The third image reads “Kunik was how I’d greet my mom and grandmother as a small child.”
End ID. Note: the slur discussed was left uncensored to accurately describe the image, as it is uncensored in the image.]
