[image description: A post from Tumblr user doyouknowthischaracter. Beneath the poll are two images of the character Gandalf, a wizard from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is elderly, has a long, silver beard, and wears dark robes and a grey wizard's hat. In the first image, he is looking towards the camera with a serious expression. In the second image, he is looking away thoughtfully, and has cleavage indicating large breasts photoshopped onto his chest, in the style of the "Gandalf big naturals" meme.

Beneath is a reply from tumblr user ooppo. It is a gif from Diary of a Wimpy Kid and shows the character Rowley, a preteen boy with short brown hair and a round face, wearing a light blue dress shirt beneath a striped brown sweater vest. He is standing in a church congregation. He smiles and waves at the camera before abruptly adopting a puzzled expression as he stares at something below eye level.

[image description: a poll by tumblr user charactersmashorpass, including a headshot of austin powers. he wears a high-necked, frilly white shirt beneath a blue velvet jacket, black glasses, and a jubilant, goofy expression on his face.

beneath is an addition from tumblr user frostytherobot. it includes a line of text from the book austin powers international man of mystery. it reads: " "yeah, baby!" said nobody, since this was not good."

beneath is a gif of austin powers driving a car. he wears the same black glasses, but is wearing a black leather jacket. we can see his face; he looks sad and contemplative.

ohhhhh I get it now. the "gifted kid" discourse exists because people see it fundamentally as a sign of Privilege and not as a largely meaningless category that puffs up weird children before setting them up for the same unremarkable lives as everyone else; thus they interpret people going "the educational system gave me false expectations before ultimately abandoning me to the same heartless world as everyone else" as "why am I, The Main Character, not getting everything I ever wanted."

[maxknightley]

anyway this is a really great example, imo, of the flawed nature of "privilege" as a framework as opposed to a framework more precisely grounded in questions of class, economic incentives, and ideology

if you're looking at it from a "privilege" point of view then of course Former Gifted Kids are self-obsessed whiners. they got attention and support from the system in a way other people didn't

if you're looking at it from a materialist point of view, that's obviously silly, because none of that "support" actually amounted to anything in the real world. it was illusory. it was people patting themselves on the backs for Supporting A Child's Potential and then completely abandoning them once they were an adult who needed to find a career

[feelboss]

as someone who was both in gifted/advanced classes AND special ed, sometimes at the same time, this is 100% correct. being pinned as "gifted" meant jack shit. i got more help/assistance from being in special ed than any of the gifted classes. it's not a privilege, it's a puffed up nothing title that is tossed on children who are then expected to navigate life with puffed up expectations in a world that definitely does not reward hard work lmao

[infinitehyperfixation]

Being gifted is not a privilege, being gifted is a label they slap on kids who are “the good kind” of neurodivergent. It’s an excuse people use for yelling at 8-year-olds for still having the emotional maturity of 8-year-olds when they can spell “ribonucleic acid”

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

“sex/romance/empathy makes us human,” they say. awful. pathetic. what makes us human is the urge to set things on fire

[sullina]

you’re actually correct!

Cooking is the one thing that only humans do and can be directly linked to the increase in our brain size

Gentle reminder that people are gonna be who they are, not who you want them to be.

It's easy to keep wishing someone would change when they've been hurtful to you, but stop expecting any different than who they are.
