Oh btw, if I haven't made my stance clear before, let me say it again.

You are fucking spineless if you cannot let go of Harry Potter, yes it is that serious.

If you cannot put the safety and happiness of real life trans people over your enjoyment of a fictional wizard, then you cannot call yourself an ally. Even pirating the series, even buying merch second hand, even denouncing JK Rowling, even if you headcanon every single one of her characters as transgender, you cannot separate the series from the harm it has done.

Rowling will not see your "every Harry Potter character is trans!" Post. You are not 'owning' her. You know who will see those posts? Trans people. Trans people who will now know that you put your enjoyment of a children's book over their lives.

It is this serious when trans people are losing their rights because of the money put into Rowling's pockets, the money she made from Harry Potter.

I fully support the idea of being critical of the media you consume, and in some cases you can separate the art from the artist. That works for people like H P Lovecraft, who is dead, and Nintendo, who, despite their racism, are not using their money to eradicate Arabs.

It doesn't matter if it shaped your childhood, it doesn't matter if you pirate or hate watch the new series. You need to move on. Read another book, maybe even a book written for adults this time.

Thinking about how like, first timeline homura AKA Moemura was low-key implied to be bullied by the same girls that in the most recent loop were swooning over her. Like can you imagine how that would feel? When you were at your most natural albeit weak self, they gossiped about how inconvenient you were due to health issues out of your control, that you struggled with the school work due to said health conditions. Yet the second you prove both academically and athletically superior, you're suddenly treated with respect and awe.

Mind you homura most definitely had other priorities but I can't help but shake the feeling that in later loops she saw the change in her colleagues and came to the conclusion they only liked her because she was "useful" to them. The second she became anything resembling a detriment to the cohort either in P.E or class, she'd be treated with pity and scorn just like she did in her first loop. Her popularity was hinged on performance rather than anything genuine.

The only person to treat her with empathy regardless of how well she did or didn't do, was Madoka.

An American live action Umineko film adaptation and they cast Jack Black as Battler and Margot Robbie as Beatrice.

"I... AM BATTLER!" Says Jack Black.

"What are we? Some kind of Umineko When They Cry?"

"Truth and witches!"

God it would be so bad, but at the same time, I would love to see it.

breath of the wild was such a good game. its not its fault that it accidentally ruined the AAA gaming industry for awhile including its own sequel by tricking people into thinking that the Open World With Crafting element was the thing that made it good.

[ot3]

they really made a game where the fundamental appeal to it was the very physical way you were made to navigate and interact with the game's world as you discovered new places, where your ability to engage with the narrative hinged upon your ability to identify and seek out distinct landmarks of hyrule after a century of change. and then they were like. okay here's our sequel. remember all of that beautiful, breathtaking exploration you got to do? well no more of that. you're welcome! you can either crawl around in the dark between clusters of copypasted assets or drift aimlessly in the sky between clusters of copypasted assets. and you may say that sounds boring as fuck i don't want to have to walk between sets of copypasted assets. ohohoho... worry not my friend... you don't have to walk anywhere anymore. you can fornite drop out of the sky with a fan blade glued to a set of handlebars and never again have your ability to get from point A to point B impeded by any of that pesky """gameplay"". now get back to clipfarming korok torture devices

Lukewarm take about full metal Alchemist but i sincerely believe if it came out in this day and age, it would not have survived like at all. I say this based on the fact that the majority of the main cast actively participated or were complicit in a genocide and we can't have that. All our good guys have to be morally pristine, so if you like Roy Mustang you must be some sort of fire fascist.

People getting mad about people not understanding those tone indicators is so funny. Hey guys i made a secret code. Why doesn't everyone understand my secret code? Didn't they all consult my secret code guide? They must be stupid.

My most diagnosable take is that honestly. As much as people in social justicey spaces talk about exercising your empathy ... there's also value in being able to turn it off so you're not extremely susceptible to emotional manipulation. Sometimes you have to be able to recognize "oh, this is bullshit propaganda trying to tug at my heartstrings" and stop giving a fuck about like. Colonizer feelings or whatever. Vibes can't override your principles

Like idk being niceys is a good start but your politics can't begin and end with 🌈 kindness 🌈 or you're gonna get taken advantage of. The worst people on earth will be like "but what if........ I have a sob story about it 🥺" & you Need to be able to tell them to Fuck Completely Off

[tlirsgender]

There's a certain strain of ... Everyone Is Valid 🌸 style pseudo leftism that ime invariably caters to whoever throws the biggest tantrum. And this is a Problem interpersonally & it's especially bad if you let these people dictate your opinions. Not everyone is valid some of you are racist

I can't prove it but I just know homura IS the Walpurgis Witch from the OG series, and I've known it since the show first aired

Gotta be real, I'm most upset about the avatar 4 timeskip because it means the likelihood of Jake and Quaritch throwing down won't be guaranteed, esp since Jake's Navi body has been mentioned to be 'breaking down' due to design and age.

[transfaguette]

9/11 having meme status is interesting and macabre, but not that perplexing when you understand the culture that birthed it. 9/11 isn’t just a tragedy, its the center of a propaganda machine. its part of a cultural identity. its a symbol of nationalism. I don’t think in any other case you could openly joke about any other terror attack that killed thousands and traumatized a whole generation of people. but “9/11” really is not about what happened, its how it was adapted into a narrative and nationalistic identity. it’s remembered because its a justification for every action carried out in the middle east, future and present. its memed so heavily in the mainstream because it was already bastardized and memeified by the american propaganda machine.

[evangelifloss]

At this point, no Avatar movie is truly complete without Jake and Quaritch having a fistfight of some kind. I love it, and I could watch 10 movies where those bitches throw down.

It doesn't even matter if they die, both are Na'vi so they could continue their fisticuffs in the Eywa Pandorian Afterlife.

Love the absolute audacity of this guy. Just openly mocking the religion of a guy that could snap his neck in pieces or slice and dice him with a laser sword. He spent all his time in the Andor universe, he didn’t know about the space wizard side of it.

Thats right everyone. No more takes about bloodborne and pregnancy/reproductive rights until everyone settles down. Now were going to talk about how yharnamite society controls the lower class and turns them against their own in a search for any kind of control over their own lives, the same way all kinds of fascism do and create further wedges in minorities (lower class men are aware of their loss of control and exercise it on the women around them instead. Lower class white people are aware and exercise it on the people of color around them. And so on.) and force the lower class into a punching-down mindset to secure their own position of control over them without being afraid of consequences. Get communist with it now

[saintadeline]

@skleech

Yeah absolutely, the church's control over the everyday yharnamite applies over many many aspects and sometimes in roundabout ways, it's clear in the way blood was introduced to the population and the way their complete reliance on it as both a cure and drug, but in a sense everything that happened as a "side effect" of blood consumption has also been in their favor:

yharnamites turning into beasts feeds this fear of the other, fear of your neighbor, hyper-vigilance hyper-individualism that is so characteristic of fascist society, because if youre busy being convinced your neighbor is the enemy, you wont look farther up at the root. If you're stuck in fight or flight, you don't think. Not to mention the fear of retaliation from the church hunters (seen in the black church garb description most clearly). And just as its main inspiration (christianity, catholicism and other cult branches), if you express the idea that horrible things only happen to a specific type of "bad people" (sinners), then you are given a reason to hold no empathy for your neighbor either (he turned into a beast therefore he must have been evil in the first place, so not a life is lost and nothing is mourned, everything is fine and going in accordance with the church's teachings).

And again tying that into religion, when you have some kind of feeling that your life is under complete control, just a feeling, so many people will choose to cope with that by imagining a greater will, something higher, a Reason everything is controlled, and giving a Reason themselves for the church to be doing what it does. Putting everything on the back of a god or gods, shifts the blame away from the institution that speaks in its name. It's both an easy way out for the church and a simple coping mechanism for the people under them that allows them to not feel too upset about their situation (it's easier to say your life is put under restraints by the will of great ones, than it is to admit systemic violence you'll never be able to fix or flee in your lifetime).

Its in a way about acceptance of your fate and lack of agency, one way or another. The church has never been solely religious, its always been a political tool, both in real life and in bloodborne
