whenever i see someone lambast a piece of media for portraying a character getting away with bad behavior instead of getting narratively punished, i have to laugh because that’s literally the hays code. it’s not hays-code-esque or hays-code-coded, it’s just straight up the hays code.
It's a small thing but I am so glad palworld has body customization that actually allows for different body types beyond "muscle" and "stupid skinny," just having a few sliders that lets my character be fatter or have more of a muffintop is such a flex over other games that promise such greater in depth customization... but only if you look like a supermodel or a body builder.
Like, sure the palworld customization is a bit janky and weird but my character actually somewhat resembles my body weight for once! Like could it be done better? 100% the ab texture getting stretched is really funny. However for what it is? It's just genuinely nice to be able to have a bit of a gut for once!
Oh my fucking god r/deltarune literally banned referring to ralsei with she/her because of "drama"
Fucking transphobic shitheads
The craziest part is people accusing galsei believers of "forcing the theory on people" when the subreddit mods are literally forcing a cisgender interpretation of the character on the entire subreddit. This is fucking beyond parody, literally just going "only we can do this"
Yet another fandom proves itself to not actually be safe for trans people
This could be controversial but i do legitimately think there should be demotions over this, the r/deltarune moderation team has proved they'll just lay down and let transphobia happen and treat the trans people themselves as if they are some how equally complicit for just having a different interpretation of the text. Keep in mind this community is famous for theorising, this is the first time (to my knowledge at least) they have ever outright banned a certain theory and i do not think it is merely a coincidence that is specifically a transgender theory. People being shitty to galsei theorists is not the fault of the galsei theorists for fucks sake
Good thing we’ve definitely got people in office who will get on this! (By rapidly making the problems worse)
you know who’s gay? paul the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife and davey who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life
New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.
“The manager gives me a smile ‘cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been coming to see” also implies that the Piano Man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo, and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that, this all fits a little too well.
this makes too much sense. Also, the full quote is “Now John at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets me my drinks for free. And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke. But there’s someplace that he’d rather be” Yes, your bed, he wants to be on your bed honey, that’s not a joke, he is flirting with you.
Lighting another man’s cigarette is some old-school gay cruising.
Billy Joel actually addressed this interpretation!
You know, good on him for just rolling with it.
The map included ‘Little Palestine’ and ‘Little Egypt’, but not its Jewish, Irish and Italian enclaves
A New York City “neighbourhood passport,” created by the city’s official marketing group and available at libraries in the Big Apple for tourists, has been criticised after it excluded Jews from a map of the city’s immigrant neighbourhoods.
The map identifies 30 neighborhoods associated with New York’s “thriving international communities and cultures”, including “Little Palestine” (Bay Ridge, Brooklyn), “Little Egypt” (Astoria, Queens), “Little Pakistan” (Newkirk Plaza, Brooklyn), and multiple Chinatowns.
However, the graphic, which is sourced from the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, does not note any Jewish neighbourhoods, though the immigrant affairs office also doesn’t include official posters for “Little Palestine” or “Little Egypt”.
The lack of depiction of Jewish neighbourhoods, as well as Irish and Italian ones, has drawn criticism from local community members.
“They just couldn’t figure out how to represent 11 per cent of the city,” stated Avital Chizik-Goldschmidt, a writer and New York resident. “Couldn’t decipher where the Jews are from. Asked everyone. Huge riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.”
The map was intended to show parts of the city that have “substantial foreign-born populations from regions and countries around the world,” according to City Hall. “It does not highlight religious groups.”
It added that a map of Little Odessa depicts a neighbourhood with a substantial Jewish population.
“Also, no Italian or Irish enclaves in New York City? Interesting,” stated Karol Markowicz, a prominent, Jewish conservative columnist. “The two Staten Island flags look funnier the longer I look at this. Two small ethnic populations and absolutely no others in the whole of Staten Island.”
“The major Sephardi corridor of South Brooklyn, Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese, and others, from the East side of Avenue J down toward Avenue V, gets left out completely,” added Isaac Choua, a board member of the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America. “So does the Bukharian Jewish community in Queens, largely from Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
"The Brooklyn community is not some tiny side community.
“Flatbush, Midwood, and Gravesend alone have roughly 54,000 people living in Jewish households, comparable in size to the Pakistani community being recognised here.”
“This is not a small omission,” he went on. “It is one of New York’s most distinctive immigrant-descended Jewish communities, and it gets erased from the story. Weirdly enough, Zohran Mamdani’s office wanted to speak with me about this very issue and has not followed up since the election.”
However, others dismissed the purported controversy.
“The Chasidic neighbourhoods are overwhelmingly composed of American citizens, who have been here a long time,” said journalist Jesse Singal. “I don’t get this. It comes across like looking for something to get mad about.
"Could just as easily 180 this and be, ‘Oh, so you’re saying they aren’t quite American?”
Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone, a Chabad rabbi, added that he finds “the absence frustrating as well”.
“But what exactly would we call it and where?” he asked. “Little Israel? Surely not the right name for Borough Park, the largest enclave of Jews and Jewish culture. Doesn’t really work for the Upper West Side or the Lower East Side either.”
the argument is that these groups are fully assimilated over a century or more of history and no longer immigrants, which is true to an extent when speaking about generations of residents, but there are still tens of thousands of current Jewish immigrants (and others from the excluded groups) living in New York.
an Italian and Jewish New Yorker said: “it was so obvious that you could have included us here, and it felt like you made the choice not to.”
this may not have been malicious, but because of the sentence “it does not highlight religious groups,” this is relevant food for thought:
Funny how Jewish peoplehood is real enough to kill American Jews for the crimes of Israelis and treat us as inherently suspicious no matter what ideology we hold and what we say or do, but not real enough to identify American Jews as from the same ethnicity as Israelis.
Even though our being the same ethnicity is why they kill us and mistrust us.
Funny how he included "little Palestine" when that's not even a thing.
There's this trend on tiktok about assigning Pokémon typing to different characters that have nothing to do with Pokémon. It's really fun, but man, I wish people would stop giving the Fairy typing to women just because they're women tbh
And I know they're only giving the Fairy typing to women just because they're women because it'll be a character like Nilou Genshin Impact or something and she'll be Water/Fairy type. Nilou is very whimsical, yes, but if she was a dual typing 'mon, she would be Water/Normal or Water/Grass.
In earnest, if you have any doubts as to the sincerity of Palworld's developers and just how MUCH they cared about the final release, watch this. The story, to me, as a working artist, is so incredibly inspiring. The game WAS supposed to be a lazy asset flip, a quick cash grab like their last game. One more piece of slop to pay the bills by a small team of disallusioned artists who WANTED to make real games but had been broken down by the industry and accepted mediocrity as their lot in life. Then the trailer went mega viral and they realized this was their chance, maybe their one chance to make a real game. The CEO bet everything on it. "Lose your house and go bankrupt" everything. These people wanted this so badly. They remade the game in an entirely different engine they had no experience in. They barely knew how to do anything that they were doing. They just had to buckle down and figure it out, and they did. That's why Palworld is a good game. The absurdity of its development is unreal. It's crazy people don't know all this stuff. If you think that Palworld is just a lazy cash grab, watch this and see why it explicitly isn't.

if I had even slightly less self control I would reblog the "tumblr is a nightmare for people with ocd" post 500 times a day but I think we all know this already. hoooooooooooooooooly shit
sometimes a post has a really good point but the way it is worded is so bafflingly Terrifying that you just have to sit back and go "hahaha. okay" and if you're unlucky and your brain is a bit tricky, spend the next hour or day or week or month or longer ruminating on it. sucks! I would love to see less of these posts [:
and sometimes you will desperately plead with the people who see your posts to not mention a topic that sends you spiralling and someone will take that as an invitation to tell you that you are Bad for telling them not to talk about the topic on your post. it's beyond comedy. hi everyone I love you and I'm sorry if you have a tough time online because of the posts you see or the interactions you have. ocd or not. it can be tough! these are words on a screen and they can be scary but your life is big and beautiful and you aren't what strangers say about you. peace and love
Natalie nailed this one.
SILENCE IS VIOLENCE and 50 Other Convenient Hashtags and Slogans You Can Repeat Ad Nauseam Instead of Trying To Develop a Well Informed Political Opinion or Having and Articulating a Single Original Thought.
Brought to you by Twitter, TikTok and Tumblr.
I find it funny that silence is only violence when it pertains to issues they care about.
But for issues they don't care about? Bringing attention to those issues is somehow violence.
Shrek 2, while a cinematic masterpiece, is also an interesting look at queerness and comp het.
Fiona is married so it's time to reunite with her parents. But instead of marrying a prince, she's married to an ogre. Not just that, but she's also an ogre. (Yes everyone knew she would sometimes be an ogre but that was when she was a child, she didn't know she would be an ogre for the rest of her life, and besides once she met the right prince she would stop being an ogre. She was supposed to stop being an ogre.)
But okay they're both ogres. We can still ask about when they'll have children because even if they're ogres they can still have kids, right? That's what married princes and princesses do so naturally that's what everyone does. Even if ogres might not be great parents (I've heard that ogres eat their young, is that something you people do?) it's still something that should be discussed.
And okay you can stay in Fiona's childhood bedroom filled with all the reminders that hey, everyone thought she was just a princess and princesses marry princes. Her toys left out from the last time she played with them. The prince slays the ogre. The princess offers a token of gratitude for slaying the ogre. Fiona wrote Mrs. Fiona Charming a million times in her diary because what else was she supposed to grow up to be?
And Harold, the Fairy Godmother says, you have to fix this, your kingdom can't be ruled by ogres. You were unfit to rule, to be loved, when you were a frog but I changed you, I made you better, I made you a prince. You know how this works. Think of your daughter's safety.
Shrek goes to the Fairy Godmother and oh honey, ogres don't live happily ever after. It's just not done. It hasn't happened in all of fairy tale history. You have to change the both of you to be happy. You have to present as a prince and a princess. It will be better. You'll fit in better that way. You'll be accepted that way.
This comment and the subsequent replies shed some very good light on the intersection of queer and racial tones in the movies. Other comments even draw connections to the underlying Jewish tones. Ii even find myself seeing people's arguments against these ideas as ways in which they truly display the complexity of systemic injustice and stereotypes.
When talking about abuse that men face, you can never fucking say "people would care if the victim was a woman" because the victim often IS a woman and people DON'T care. Talk about these issues without downplaying societal misogyny and the normalization of abuse and violence please.
People might care if the victim was a women from a race and social class they sorted into "needs to be protected" rather than "deserves what she got" and they didn't like the abuser already.
Might.
Wake up babe, new octopus just dropped
He's such a little guy!
My colleague (the one that works in shift with me and is supposed to relieve me) lives very near to where Russian missiles struck Kyiv tonight. Thank God she and her family are alright, but all her windows are gone. She needs to go to the police to document the damages and do something about the wreckage. Its a scary sleepless night for her and an extra shift for me.
And this is such a normal occurrence for anyone living in Ukraine that I feel somehow embarrassed even writing about it. But I just wanted to write it, to say that the war is still going on and touches our lives in many small and big, significant and mundane ways every day, even if Ukrainians do not write about it as much anymore - it's because we acclimated to it.
