It’s so normalized, they teach it to us from birth. Some people live their entire lives never seeing an issue with the images above.

It’s actually a pretty good highlight of how generally people don’t notice they’re being racist, since the diversity in the various characters depicted leads me to believe they thought they were including everyone.

[elviraaxen]

I think the recent racism discourse in the tadc fandom perfectly exemplifies how many "leftist" spaces are actually very conservative in practice and that it largely in part due to black-and-white-thinking as well as (mainly white) people's resistance to true intersectionality because they overly prioritize comfort and are thus unwilling to question their own racist programming.

Like you can actually decide for yourself how the creators' past racist transgressions (that have affected black people) should dictate your enjoyment of the show without dismissing and shutting down black people's voices in the process-- and you should stand by your choices regardless of what you think people may insist it says about you, as long as you believe you've given it serious thought and consideration through an empathetic and informed lens.

However, if your attachment to the show and your own comfort takes priority over real people's real issues, then I fear you are part of the exact problem you insist isn't real. It is a racist micro-aggression to tell black people what they should or shouldn't feel hurt by and then shame them for bringing attention to it, just because it makes you feel like a bad person by association. Point blank period.

We need to question our knee-jerk reaction to defend ourselves as non-racists in the context of racism that doesn't affect us, always, and we also need to learn how to take a step back while we let those affected take center stage as we listen and reflect on ourselves before we decide to share our opinions about it-- lest we continue the cycle of exclusionary bigotry, even if it seems minor in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not here to tell anyone what to think, do, or say. I'm not even gonna share what I've chosen to do as of now. That's still up to you at the end of the day, but I do think it was worth bringing up because I found the "backslash of the backlash" to be very disappointing, albeit not surprising, and I encourage you to reflect on it as dismissing it and holding no room for nuance is unfortunately very telling.

Those are just my two cents.

I don't wanna sound like mean or nuthin but a lot of y'all have been trapped in a vortex of suffering for so long that you've come to identify with the suffering as an aspect of your personality and ideology and thereby to covet suffering and to mistake debasement for enoblement and humiliation for virtue

[baaalu]

this reminds me of two quotes which went something like "pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice" and "the key to fulfillment is not abundance, but the simple act of valuing appreciation more than lamentation". another one that I heard from my previous therapist that woke me tf up was "stop romanticising being your own sacrificial lamb" and tbh? yeah. the world WANTS you to suffer. fight back. you HAVE to choose being and Doing happy yk

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

The user who likes Ruri Rocks thinks they have a good opinion on Made in Abyss

[atunrojo]

Yes this is a vaguepost because I'm annoyedddd how do you see the very deliberate infantalization of a high schooler, not criticize that aspect at all, and think Made in Abyss is good media. That story is 99% pedophile fodder and I don't trust 99.9% of "fans" to have good opinions on the child exploitation aspect of that story

[atunrojo]

Like yes Ruri Rocks is very beautifully animated and whateverrrr but does nobody talk about how some scenes are more highly detailed for seemingly no reason. Why did they animate Ruri's legs with so much detail when she was (childishly) begging her mom for an advance on her allowance. Why did they over animate these young women so often. Here's an image I made in my phone that represents my ideas clearly

[atunrojo]

And like don't get me wrong I think if I gave it more of a watch I'd be able to see that the anime has themes of finding joy in the nature of your hobbies buuuut from the first episode I could get a good idea of what I was in for and honestly if you have to sexualize women to make people interested in your product then you're not really that much better than American companies that uses the oversexualization of women to do the exact same thingggg and it doesn't help that in the case of Ruri Rocks, while Ruri isn't explicitly sexualized like Nagi, the way Ruri herself is so infantalized from the get go is incredibly strange at best and misogynistic at worst. Can we raise our standards
