ALSO THEY IGNORE THE FUCKIN RAPE GANGS BUT GO AFTER DEPICTIONS OF FICTITIOUS ENTITIES THE UK GOVERNMENT IS FILLED WITH WORTHLESS TROGLODYTES

[saintofpride201]

Call me a crackpot or whatever, but with corps like Mastercard blocking people's legal purchases of nsfw content and products, karens encouraging corporate & government intervention because "think of the children", and the heavy handed censorship and trying to make the net a kid friendly space like trying to turn a brothel into a daycare, we're about to head towards another sexual revolution and it's gonna be larger scale than the previous ones because of how hard said corps and karens are pushing against it.

And somewhere along the line, a group of people are gonna involve actual children in it and nearly invalidate the whole fucking movement.

"why is this person drawing sexualized art of hatsune miku, isn't hatsune miku canonically 16?" hatsune miku is a voice bank. she's pretty much an electronic piano that goes Oo Ee Oo. hatsune miku is not a person with a life. nobody is doing CSAM of hatsune miku, because hatsune miku is not a C you can do M featuring SA about. that's a glorified slide whistle on the compyooter. you cannot psychologically abuse a theremin. it's generally agreed to be impossible to traumatize a harmonica. hatsune miku is a nonsapient synthesizer software addon. you can't do child abuse to a nonsapient synthesizer software addon. you cannot. do. child abuse. to a nonsapient. synthesizer. software addon. hello hello hello can anyone hear me

[mortimermcmirestinks]

do you understand that drawing a picture of a cartoon software mascot in a swimsuit is a different type of action from abusing a child. that's not the same kind of thing. those are two different types of action. there is no connection between those actions. if someone draws a boob that person is not now guilty of assaulting a minor. do you understand. do you understand. do you understand. do you understand.

[say-gex]

i understand, why are they drawing it though? it's still kinda weird

[mortimermcmirestinks]

why should I give a fuck. who cares

[mortimermcmirestinks]

it's been over a month since I made this post and I swear to god 80% of the responses are people saying "yeah I agree" and then 10% are people saying "drawing smut of this bassoon cartoon is basically child sexual abuse material" and the other 10% are people saying "as someone who was sexually abused as a child it's honestly really offensive for people to compare bassoon cartoon smut to my trauma"

[mortimermcmirestinks]

y'know someone reblogged this to accuse me of defending CSAM. truly the piss on the poor website

[overfedvenison]

I've noticed that the argument people who are opposed to this sort of art tends to have is like ''Well, why you doing it? It's still weird.' This is notably not an argument, it's an attempt to shame people into agreement

Listen - Ethically what we have to keep in mind is the existence of harm Things are bad when they bring harm This person seems to have accepted the statement that a drawing of Hatsune Miku is an inherently a different thing than child abuse, and people are engaging with it for entirely different reasons than that. (And some people will pursue some quite abstract justifications to not admit this.) So, if a drawing harms no one, is obviously not encouraging others to harm people, and through it's creation has brought no harm, then there is no legitimate reason to oppose it's existence. Opposing something at that point amounts to "This offends my personal sensibilities," which... Well, you can be offended then. That, in and of itself, is not a reason for something not to exist.

25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name “Tank Man”. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.

[fluffynexu]

It’s actually been 27 years now since the incident known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre occurred. The picture above, famously referred to as “The Tank Man” was actually taken on June 5, the day after the massacre. (Which honestly makes him the one of the bravest person, to go back and stand up to a regime after such a terrible event transpired)

So what happened? I’m gonna give the TL;DR version:

April 15, 1989. Hu Yaobang, a former Communist Party Chief dies.

Many people, including  workers, laborer, students and some officials come to mourn. You see, those protestors were originally there to mourn, not protest.

Time passed and there were some hunger strikes, and protests, and a call for accountability and reform from the government.

Eventually, things went south, because the communist party doesn’t have time to deal with these sorts of “demands” and grievances.

Keep in mind, the people wanted not the end of the Communist Party, but for the party to stop with the official corruption, rule of law, and the gross monopoly of information and power.

Incidentally, China still suffers from all of these SAME problems to this day…

June 3, 1989. The massacre started at night to disperse the crowd. Many were shot, wounded, and killed.

June 4, 1989. Some of the parents of the protestors who never came home went looking for them. It was still total mayhem.

June 5, 1989. The iconic image of the tank man was taken. To this day, no one knows what became of this person.

Content Warning for video: blood

“Tell the world…”

I cannot stress how important it is that people remember and know about this event. Do you know how China responded? With lies and censorship.

Even now, in 2016, we do not have an official death toll on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese government doesn’t even acknowledge the event as a “massacre”. And they weaves these cover stories of “counter revolutionaries trying to overthrow the government”. Therefore, the violence was necessary to ~protect~ the people. (Or some bullshit like that)

The amount of lying and censorship in China is, quite frankly, scary amazing. Tumblr, which somehow managed to fly under their radar, found itself being blocked in that country.

After all, tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

And those who remember the incident in China? …………well, you tell me.

Please at least REMEMBER this tragedy. Untold innocent lives were lost, and a nation has been fed a lie for almost three decades now from their oppressive af regime.

[learningtoacceptchange]

I have never seen this video before.

What the fucking hell.

What the hell.

[naanima]

Tiananmen Square happened when I was seven, and let’s just say children have a really interesting way of interpreting information.

I just remember thinking it was a happy event, because all these people were out on the street, and at first the army were interacting with these people. And it almost looked like a festival because people were singing and talking, and hopeful. And then tv coverage for the events got cut off.

The blocking of the live coverage had all the adults anxious, nobody said anything for ages, I just remember my grandmother saying, “Just be glad your father isn’t in China, now.”

And that stuck with me to this day. Because yeah, if dad had been in China then he would have been in Beijing studying, he would have been on those streets with those other students.

It was the first time I knew that something horrible had happened to all those people I saw on the television. I don’t even remember how I knew that the army must have shot at the civilians, I just knew. Because when you grow up in China, especially in the 80s you knew there were things you don’t say, that you can’t express in a public forum, because that can get you and your family in trouble. You just knew, and it didn’t fucking matter if your were a child or an adult.

To this day I don’t remember how I found out what happened in Tiananmen Square, because the news covered it up, but people found out. My grandparents knew, my uncles and aunts knew. Extended family visited my grandparents, I remember people telling my mother not to mention my father’s name because my father was a Chinese Beijing University graduate, who had gone overseas. Because there were people who died in the protests that my dad knew.

And it was all just so frightening because nobody was telling me directly what was happening, but I just knew that all the people on the streets was probably dead.

Looking back on it, Tiananmen Square instilled in a me a life long distrust of governments, but especially the Chinese government. I’m ethnically Chinese but I never want to return to China, not even for a holiday, and this has been my attitude even before Xi Jinping took power. Because Tiananmen Square was a peaceful protest that ended up with the army using heavy artillery against their own people. How can you trust in a system, in a government like that? Because if my dad had delayed further studies overseas by two years he would have been one of those students, one of those fucking kids on the streets that would have died.

And you know, when the Umbrella movement was happening in Hong Kong I was deeply panicked and just anxious because I kept on thinking all those people, all those kids are going to be killed. And when that didn’t happen it was such a relief.

When I found out years later that Chinese people a few years younger than me didn’t know what happened in Tiananmen Square I was so fucking angry. I can’t even articulate the rage and the sheer tiredness of it all.

Dad and I talked about Tiananmen Square a few times through the years, broadly, politically, and at times with sheer rage on dad’s part. I don’t even know what I wanted to say, but just fuck this fucking regime.

[potteresque-ire]

I was In Hong Kong when Tiananamen Square Massacre happened. Hong Kong was still a British colony then and had full freedom of press, and its reporters were there recording live footage while trying to stay as long as possible when tanks rolled in and shots were fired, when students lay in blood and their fellow students piled the injured bodies on those wooden plank carts to get them to the hospitals, while asking the Hong Kongers who were there to support the movement to please remember that night and spread the story of the massacre far and wide, because they already knew they would be silenced, if not imprisoned or murdered.

That night, and in the upcoming months, Hong Kong was in perpetual tears, and in literal shock.

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

Antizionism is strongly correlated with antisemitism??? But you all SWORE you didn't hate jews. I'm so devastatingly fucking shocked. Someone please fetch my fainting couch.

[shofarsogood]

Whomp there it is.

[skulki-d]

Damn, they even say on their own post that the two aren't the same thing and that antizionists are only "guilty by association," y'know, the logical fallacy.

And this is... A win for zionists? Somehow? Y'all needed a study to realize that antisemitic people would ALSO be antizionists? And you can't understand how that still didn't disprove the idea that people can be one and not the other, even after that same study came to that conclusion?

Staggering levels of willful ignorance at play here, as usual.

[booksmoviesanimalss]

Exactly!! Some people just want to be the victim.

I'm a jew and I'm extremely antizionist. Because I don't think my people have the right to murder and eliminate anyone else just so a small piece of land can have the magen david stamped in it for all perpetuity. It's a piece of land that 3 major religions want to claim as their own, as well as many smaller tribal cultures irrespective of religion. Any and all should be able to live there if they want to, without fear of persecution or extermination.

Coexist

[generallemarc]

So you want Israel to stop existing? Because Zionism is the idea that Israel should exist, so antizionism is opposition to that. By using that label, it's no longer about the illegal settlements, the lack of discipline in airstrikes, the heavy-handed crackdowns, it's now about the complete elimination of Israel as a nation-state, giving Hamas exactly what it wants. It's far from perfect and its current government are bastards, but the cold hard truth is that Israel is the only country in the Middle East where people of any religion can live without fear of persecution or extermination. Palestinians in the Knesset and high courts, Druze generals in the army, Beta Israel and gay men in the governing coalition. And you'd rather destroy that than reform it. Extremism is a poison, and you're in dire need of an antidote.

Here’s a fun fact and reminder that I am not gonna stop posting about as long as I keep seeing this bullshit:

Dear Americans, identifying as a communist is just as offensive as being a literal nazi in a very big part of the world. The hammer and sickle is an offensive symbol that is banned in many countries, just like the swastika. Likely more people died under communist oppression than nazism, and there are people still alive who can tell you about it.

And no, don’t come at me with all this “but the core ideology was good!!” or especially “here we do not have this connotation so it’s not offensive!”. Your media, culture and standards are forced on the entirety of the rest of the world, and whatever you post in english is understandable for everyone else, if I am decent enough to care about issues like blackface (that literally have zero history in eg. my entire country which was never a colonizing nation), you should be decent enough and not make a hip cool internet trend about an oppressive ideology whose victims still remember the horrors and still suffer the consequences :)

Thanks and don’t be surprised if you see this reposted by me again, chances are I saw another fucking idiot who thinks communism is cool uwu it was just never done right, Lenin was a bae uwu glitter rainbow hammer and sickle :3

[noitemsfoxonlyfinaldestination]

my grandmother fled with her 4 year old and a fistful of jewelry because the communist regime in hungary was literally that bad

“ohhhh but communism is about EVERYONE being able to go to fancy restaurants!” they actually shot a bunch of peaceful student protesters in front of the capital’s university over the living conditions but sure

i don’t have patience for these assholes anymore

[miss-paxi]

The Russian communist party took the entirety of my ethnicity, forced them out of their homes at gunpoint, locked them in unheated train cars in the middle of winter, and forced them to “””resettle””” in Kazakhstan. Between the trip and first few years of starvation and disease, roughly one hundred thousand died, about half of which were children.  

They then let us return to our homeland 12 years later….

and treated us like second class citizens; they took our land, our generational wealth, our culture, our freedom, our families, and future economic and educational opportunities.
