> the Vietnamese

> that country

It's like you don't even pretend to view Vietnamese People as human

[queer-as-city-folk]

America killed 3 million Vietnamese people, we put half of South Vietnam in Concentration Camps, we dropped more bombs on North Vietnam than were dropped by both sides in WW2, We permeantly poisoned the land with Agent Orange, the American war on Vietnam was the most inhuman and despicable action in this nations history, the Vietnamese had every right to do whatever they wanted to the occupation

[maidslime]

When you learn what the US soldiers did to the Vietnamese, you'll never stop praying for the death of America.

Okay so here's a list of things I did not remember from Mass Effect when I started replaying it after 9 years since my first playthrough:

- what a Spectre is (yeah)

- the genophage (yEah)

- Ashley not only being space racist but also Religious

- this monkey does not have the module

- the Rachni Queen

- the shifty looking cow(s)

- Virmire is beachy???

- Jacob in his entirety

- oh they rebuilt the Normandy???

- the Collectors

- Zaeed in his entirety

- for a moment I was afraid Garrus actually died because I did something wrong in the Archangel mission lmao

We will keep you posted on me finding out how apparently fucked up my headspace was while playing this series in 2017 the further I go.

[essyel]

There's more!

- the whole Citadel turning into a police state, not that surprised though

- I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store in the Citadel

- wait Miranda has a twin??

- if I hear Garrus saying "I love this rifle" one more time he can proceed because he's my boyfriend but I swear to God he needs to calm down his overexcited cowboy vigilante ass

- David :( (re-traumatized forever)

- female turians existing before Andromeda. I was saying to my spouse hOw It SUCKS that they made male quarians for this game but no female turians before Andromeda!!! And I was informed that ACTUALLY have you even played Omega DLC. (my spouse's personal favorite)

Everybody thinking that this is an issue about me not playing the DLCs prior is sadly mistaken because I played these originally with my spouses games that have All The DLCs. So nah. Just. Mass Effect amnesia.

Also LOVE the planet probing functions in this game I don't care what anyone says. The feeling when you hit that sweet Element Zero vein. 😩🫰(Hate the gas gimmick though.)

[essyel]

Here's some updates to my ME adventures of fucking around and finding out about what the fuck happens in these games actually. I highly suggest video game amnesia to everyone because I'm having THE BEST TIME.

So! More things I absolutely did not remember;

- I had reach she had flexibility. (I nearly died bitch)

- Collectors being Protheans kinda actually

- what's a justicar (I did remember Samara though, which is.... Interesting but understandable because awoogawooga woof woof)

- what's an ardat-yakshi (literally only remembered Samara as hot milf asari no backstory I need horny jail)

- the drell and hanar not oppressed but in symbiosis relationship??? Tell me how the fuck exactly hanar train assassin's Thane I Need To Know

- I remembered Tali's dad actually surviving but I guess I just mixed him up with Kal'Reegar (who is, btw, Great)

Honestly I have only vague memories of most of these loyalty missions, that's what you get when you play through a game only once and then don't touch it for a decade or so.

Also, my fish keep on dying. :(

[essyel]

ME2 finished ME3 started you know there's more.

- Feron in his entirety (I did remember Shadow Broker DLC Slapping and Fucking though)

- wacky Joker time adventures

- yeah actually forgot about the whole Collectors snatching the crew part, even though I had an Inkling that Something Bad was gonna happen

- baby reaper larvae :[

- the whole Mars part of ME3 start Dr. Eva included

- "Nah Illusive Man isn't working with the Reapers he's just a competitive cunt."

"He literally does tho."

"...oh. Well. On the list it goes."

- I honestly wish I would have forgotten the child hallucinations in this game still makes me mad.

- Ash/Kaidan becoming Spectre???

- STOP SAYING WHATEVER IT TAKES

As a side note Ashley's makeover for ME3 is just criminal. Absolutely hate it. The make up?? The highlighted blonder hair??? The tits and ass??? The MAKE UP???

At least she has a shirt on in the hospital bed unlike someone else.

[pinkegodeath]

we are witnessing the gentrification of the term "tumblr sexyman" in real time and it is extremely disappointing. like no, live-action white boy #265 played by ryan gosling isn't a tumblr sexyman. i can't believe i have to say this but if it wouldn't get you shoved into a locker it probably isn't a sexyman

[essyel]

Okay now that I am not actively romancing Steve I feel the unresolved sexual tension in the shuttle bay might become my personal problem.

as a writer you will have a specific deck of vocab words you like using a lot and when you read other peoples' work you will see a very clear spread of different vocab words on their end. this is why you need to read, to collect other writers' words like it's a card game

[dykecinema]

Me: okay I am done talking about this thing that's upsetting me. Bye.

*literally two seconds later*: AND ANOTHER THING

[ndnbutch]

I think it would help people on this website out immensely to understand that the primary and most important deciding factor in whether or not somebody is butch or femme is how the person in question would elect to self-identify. like. being butch or femme isn’t something that happens to you accidentally, you know? I have plenty of friends who are doing all of the various visual signifiers one might associate with a classic butch or femme and they still don’t identify as either. because more so than descriptors of appearance these are terms that describe subcultures and relationships and experiences. and there are plenty of perfectly valid and largely mundane reasons why someone might just not identify with that at all. and you can’t, like, tell them that they’re wrong, you know?

[ndnbutch]

also from a fandom perspective in particular I keep seeing posts discussing whether this or that character would be butch or femme. and it’s like idk if that’s a headcanon that would be meaningful to you and you can see a world in which your blorbo would connect with either identity then the awesome thing is you can kinda just do whatever. but also they can truly just be neither. I don’t think Falin Dungeonmeshi is butch I think she’s just a lesbian who wears pants sometimes

[essyel]

Me: Ok don't be cringe about James Vega be normal.

Mass Effect: Aright then here's your James Vega -.

Me: MY BOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

[pitbolshevik]

a lot of people on this site really think that you're either oppressed or privileged with absolutely no in-between when actually most people (myself included) are going to be oppressed in some ways and privileged in others

[thememedaddy]

[librarycards]

people on here who have been on 10-15+ years like myself...i don't know how they claim that there were never any Black bloggers on here, or that it was always such a white website. trudy gradientlair was on here. thisiswhiteprivilege was on here. there was a feminist citation project sara ahmed was involved in on here. there was someone on here whose username was wretchedoftheearth and that was how i learned who fanon was when i was 12, by googling those words. tumblr was the only place i knew i could go to get accurate & compassionate info about what happened to trayvon martin, when everyone around me irl was rabidly racist. the amount of reportage and scholarship that happened on here before the first big wave of bans was so huge and so much has been lost. where were you when it was happening??? why weren't you paying attention??

[dumbtrannybitch]

it's cause they never engaged with non white bloggers so they never noticed them disappearing. they got the tumblr they wanted, and those of us who aren't liberal/conservative fandom bloggers were robbed of our black and brown friends, and worst of all black and brown bloggers were robbed of a dpace that once was a legitimate vector for talking about black issues. at least some members of staff know what they are doing, it's like the war on drugs in this website the way they crush black people on this website.

[nyokoko]

I literally published an essay several years ago about how a lot of people stole the intellectual work that Black feminist bloggers on here published regularly to build this website and its reputation as we know it. White people love them some revisionist history.

The reason Tumblr became the bastion of intellectual discourse that it was known for--the reason the term "social justice warrior" even EXISTS as a derogatory descriptor--is because of the work of the Black bloggers who migrated to this site from 2009-2014 from LJ and Jezebel's forums. Myself included.

[boringkate]

When I was a kid watching tv was idiot coded and nerds read books, but now scrolling shortform videos is considered braindead behavior and watching tv means you're some kinda intellectual. You might think this shifting assessment of media's consumers might make readers into absolute super geniuses, but no. Only perverts read now.

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

[agnesandhilda]

shoutout to the woman from my high school martial arts class who liked to get me in joint locks and then joke about how I was easy to catch. you cannot comprehend how psychosexually formative that was for me

[agnesandhilda]

imagine, if you will, having an adolescent half-crush on someone way older than you, which is also confusingly blurred up with admiration of them as a role model. now imagine that you and that person are in a social environment where it is acceptable to (platonically, consensually) choke someone. I think I was very normal about it considering the circumstances

[agnesandhilda]

she would demonstrate takedowns on her husband (also in the class, and who was not a small man) before we got to try them and the first time I saw her twist him around and down onto the floor like it was easy my entire abdomen clenched

[agnesandhilda]

I cannot stress enough how eager this guy was to be manhandled (womanhandled?) and flipped around by his wife. he was her de facto guinea pig whenever she got to teach and I never saw him unenthusiastic about it. he'd set himself up for a joint lock fully smiling. the other adults in the class occasionally teased him about it (being so quick to let your wife put you in a submission hold tends to raise a few eyebrows), and I always kind of wanted to defend him but what would I have said? like, don't worry. I won't judge you. I also like being pinned down by your wife

[draculaisagothwizzard-deactivat]

That last sentance really hits ya like a psychosexually formative takedown
