This is to the one person who made a lengthy post YEARS ago on Tumblr who basically said that certain groups shouldn’t try and cosplay anyways cuz we look nothing like the character and tried to justify it:

Fuck you. People like you still exist today and good for you if you changed but being a little POC pre-teen on this app was hell cuz of people like you. It sucks cuz you were also a person of color too. But still. You can go straight to hell, especially with all the people agreeing with you. And fuck you if you still have this mentality. Your character will never exist IRL so stop trying to project it on others. Once you get over that, maybe yall would be less insecure messes who can’t be mature and admit they feel inadequate so they act like shits to others. Instead you wanna act like a child.

I may not know your name or even remember your username but I would never even say your name in the first place cuz its not even worth it in the end. I refuse to remember the name cuz in the end of the day, you were/are a nobody.

I now realize why I, and many others, envy the Ghibli girls – because of the one I don't envy: Anna Sasaki (the main character of When Marnie Was There).

In scenes that make us crave the Ghibli "lifestyle", for a lack of a better term, the characters are doing extremely mundane activities – something we, theoretically, could easily integrate into our lives. In fact, most of us already do. The top results on Pinterest for "Ghibli mood" are made up of studying, working, doing chores, eating, cooking or sleeping.

So why do we envy them? Now it's time to go back to Anna Sasaki. The third picture I used of her was in the beginning of the movie as she was drawing. On paper, she's doing a mundane activity in a Ghibli movie. It should count, right? But no one envies her. Because she, as opposed to the other Ghibli girls, isn't occupied by the activity she's performing.

She's occupied with concerns. She's not in the present, but inside her head – as most of us are. The instances where we feel envy are the ones where the characters are in reality, it's as simple as that. They're not thinking about all the other things they need to get done, or how they don't fit in, or about that one awkward moment from 3 years ago. They're doing one singular activity, and that's it. They're trurly at peace.

We envy that.

My coworker asked me a question about Queer culture the other day and it was a really good question but I couldn’t think of a polite way to tell them that they didn’t have the foundational knowledge required to support full comprehension of the answer

[teaboot]

Coworker: So why do some people say they’re bisexual and other people say they’re pansexual? They sound like the same thing

Me: Do you want the real answer or the answer that will make sense to you

Coworker: I guess the real answer?

Me: Do you have three hours and a notepad

Coworker: No

Me: The flags are different

Man, people are way weaker than they used to be.

For instance, today if a Japanese male is hit by a truck, he dies and is kicked straight to another world to reincarnate.

Back in the 80s and 90s, he would have either stayed in his own world as a ghost before coming back to life as a Spirit Detective, or just gotten back up, picked up that car, and sent it to the next dimension!

So pathetic.

It's time we start demanding answers! Here's an email template to send to those in our local, state, and US government that holds accountability.

Dear [Their Name]

I am writing to demand accountability regarding recent executive actions that erase, criminalize, and deny rights to transgender and intersex people. These actions are not just discriminatory—they are designed to strip legal recognition, restrict medical access, and criminalize existence itself. This is authoritarianism in action, and I need to understand if and why you support or tolerate it.

1. Do you support Trump’s executive order erasing transgender and intersex people from legal recognition? This is not just policy—it is government-mandated erasure of real people. Stripping legal recognition means denying basic rights, protections, and dignity.

2. Do you support the use of government power to control identity and erase marginalized communities? History is clear: every authoritarian regime begins by targeting vulnerable groups, stripping them of rights, and forcing them out of public life. We have seen this playbook before in Nazi Germany and Putin’s Russia. Why are you endorsing that path?

3. Do you support Trump’s decision to pardon violent insurrectionists while criminalizing trans people, doctors, and parents seeking medical care? This is not law and order—it is political persecution. The message is clear: those who attack democracy receive clemency, while those seeking basic healthcare face prosecution.

These policies directly threaten my rights and my future. As my government leader, I expect you to either defend democracy and human rights or publicly justify why you stand with those who seek to dismantle them. Silence is complicity. I demand real answers, not deflections.

I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

If I see one more naive white queer speaking over actual Chinese queers people and proclaiming xiaohongshu/rednote or even China in general is somehow a fucking wonderland incapable of violent bigotry I’m gonna explode

1) a lot of the queer related tags have suddenly become usable again after the great migration

2) the #le tag for lesbians literally comes from the #lesbian and #les tags being banned so to act

3) the welcome you’re receiving by chinese people isn’t what actual Chinese queers have experienced (we experience a bombardment of loud angry homophobes/transphobes every single fucking day) and every single Chinese queer I know has been ranting about this for days. Unfortunately a lot of people are hypocrites who are only nice to the guests in the house

4) not only is this rhetoric of don’t ask don’t tell being the main consensus in China FALSE (I don’t even want to get into the media’s suppression of hate crimes and how many queer activism accounts are being banned left and right), passive queerphobia is still FUCKING QUEERPHOBIA…

The audacity to come into OUR HOUSE and speak over us after 3 days of being pampered on this app just for being western is vile and so fucking demoralising because we’ve been yelling about our condition for so long and you guys would rather not miss out on social media brainrot than to actually apply some nuance for once… you guys wanted to distance from the sinophobic propaganda take of China being unequivocally evil so bad that you’ve swung to the other end

I'm so sorry, OP.

This is something I'm seeing more and more. Basically "any country that isn't the US or like three other countries is perfect," and...no? Every country has problems, and every country has severe problems. People want so badly to latch onto something "pure" that they'll ignore anything that tarnishes that idea.

Caitlyn better get a good redemption because what the fuck.

She’s pissed me off these three episodes but it seems it was the writer’s intention so we’ll see how this plays out.

Edit:

Arcane season 2 part 2

Its not really a redemption but Caitlyn is so obvious about not being over Vi and vice versa. Both are down bad for that puss in the most tragic and toxic way.

Edit 2.0:

Arcane season 3 part 3

I don’t know why I even bothered to think about a redemption. Fuck that facist bitch KuKluxKiramann.

Just Delete The Game.

This company is hot garbage, throw the whole game away.

I deleted Genshin and Honkai because fuck this ultra racist bullshit.

I wish the boycott was working but to me it is getting nowhere because the company is too big and majority of the fandom is a bunch of racists.

Also support fanartists and modders, they’re doing a better job at character design than Hoyoshit.

[anzenaz20]

When the Genshin Survey pops up, everyone should collectively complain super hard about Natlan.

[anzenaz20]

Natlan is another Sumeru where Hoyoverse takes people’s cultures, appropriates them and then makes majority of the playable characters white as fuck and have poor choices in designs.

Let’s face it. It was bound to happen again. The developers are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. Colorism, Racism and Cultural Appropriation runs deep. It’s what they believe sells.

They don’t care about their black and brown fanbase and what the majority of them think.

especially since it sounds and looks they are already repeating the same thing from the trailer alone.

Edit: Genuinely, I wish I was proven wrong with Natlan. But my expectations will remain low since they appropriated and butchered my own culture in Sumeru.

I am so fucking scared. I feel that... you know it's not about death. I'm not so scared of death. I'm so scared of being displaced. I want to go back to my home--and I'm so near, by the way... Gaza is so small. But I can't go there because the Gaza Strip is cut into pieces, and vehicles and tanks are in the borders between these pieces so I just can't go anywhere inside my homeland. My place. And... it's unacceptable. It's unimaginable. You know I have never imagined before that one day someone would just grab me from my... my homeland. My place. And just throw me away and prevent me to come back.

By the way, we don't know if we could go back. If we could go back again. Ever. And I'm so scared that they could displace us from Gaza Strip to the desert. [Bisan's voice breaks, she breaks into tears] We will die in the desert because of hunger. They displaced us to Egypt. To the north of Egypt, to Sanari desert. People just die. We will die.

[Sob] I don't know why do you guys are watching without doing anything to end this. Just in the... just stop it. Just stop it. Stop it in any price, stop it in any cost. Just stop it for anything. Just stop this. It's a nightmare. I can't continue just thinking about the displacement more and more. It's a nightmare. And I can't-- I can't keep it alive while thinking of being displaced more and more.

I just wanna go back to my home.
