can i use you as a substitute for forming my own opinions

I would usually caution against this but lucky for you all my opinions have always been correct so it's fine

I thought about the interactions of Orange and Pink, but as an orange soul and a mad dummy from the undertale.

Thoughts on Haman Karn?

I think the fact that the cast of women across Gundam's history are often ignored by fandom spaces says a lot.

Haman Karn is a classic era "you'll never fix her but you CAN make her worse" type of character that I think most of the gals on Tumblr would love if they actually watched the old stuff.

Also there's a modern series that re-imagines her as an office lady fail girl so that's also a bonus for everyone else out there.

for ten years there were letsplayers who would record video content of themselves playing videogames and edit it down into 10-20 minute videos which they would post on youtube and other video hosting websites, but mostly youtube. now we only wake up in a desecrated field choked with a miasmatic fog and columns of graves that stretches beyond the horizon

I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days

Okay so you turned off comments and reblogs to your stealing weenies from catered event post, which is fair, BUT I knew exactly what you meant about pelican fucking, so here's the post

(also I've never taken cocktail weenies specifically but I have taken home catered food and will be bringing baggies to my next party)

The sacred texts!

I turned off reblogs on that post because someone reblogged it and said something about taking instant ramen to a party so they could eat it while they were there because they didn't expect there to be food and I wanted that to be immortalized as the last reblog of the post. Nobody else is doing it like them.

(Yessss join the dark side, we have cheese cubes and sometimes strawberries)

Your Antisemitism Is Probably From Medieval Christianity

A huge amount of modern antisemitism did not appear out of nowhere. Many of the ideas people repeat today, even in "secular" or atheist spaces, are just recycled versions of medieval Christian anti-Jewish beliefs.

"Jews kill children" / "Jews thirst for blood" / "Israelis harvest organs." This is the modern descendant of the blood libel, the medieval Christian accusation that Jews murdered Christian children for ritual purposes, especially around Passover. Modern versions include imagery of Jews or Israelis drinking blood, killing children for pleasure, or harvesting organs. USHMM: Blood Libel

"Jews think they are superior because they are the ‘chosen people.’" This distorts the Jewish concept of chosenness, which traditionally concerns covenant, obligation, and responsibility, not racial or moral superiority. Christian anti-Jewish polemics historically portrayed Jews as arrogant or spiritually obstinate for maintaining their covenant and rejecting Christianity. The modern "Jewish supremacy" version grows out of that older framework. My Jewish Learning: Chosen People USHMM: Antisemitism

"The Jews killed Jesus." This is the classic deicide charge. For centuries, Jews were collectively blamed for the crucifixion of Jesus, even though he was executed by Roman authorities. This accusation helped justify persecution throughout Christian Europe. USHMM: Antisemitism

"Jews are greedy / Jews love money / Jews control finance." Medieval Christian restrictions excluded Jews from many professions while pushing some into moneylending and commerce. Jews were then demonized for participating in the very economic roles they had been restricted to. This is the ancestor of modern "Jewish bankers," "Rothschild control," and "Jews run Wall Street" conspiracies. USHMM: Antisemitism in the Early Modern Era

"Jews secretly control governments, media, banks, or the world." Medieval Christian societies frequently portrayed Jews as an alien and conspiratorial group acting against Christian society. Later secular conspiracy theories kept the same structure while replacing religious language with political language. USHMM: Antisemitism

"Jews are disloyal to the countries they live in." Jews were historically treated as permanent outsiders in Christian Europe. This evolved into the modern dual loyalty trope: the belief that Jews are secretly more loyal to other Jews, Israel, or a supposed global Jewish agenda than to their own countries. ADL: Online Antisemitism Report Card

"Jews spread disease, poison people, or contaminate society." During the Black Death, Jews were accused of poisoning wells and deliberately causing disease. Modern conspiracy theories about Jews spreading pandemics, controlling pharmaceutical companies, or deliberately corrupting society use the same basic structure. USHMM: Blood Libel

"Jews harm or corrupt children." This overlaps heavily with blood libel. Medieval Jews were accused of kidnapping, torturing, and murdering Christian children. Modern claims that Jews deliberately corrupt, mutilate, sexualize, or indoctrinate children recycle that same imagery. ADL: Antisemitism and Conspiratorial Beliefs

"Jews are demonic, satanic, or uniquely evil." Medieval Christian art and literature often directly associated Jews with the devil. Modern descriptions of Jews or "Zionists" as inherently monstrous, demonic, or metaphysically evil descend from this tradition even when the speaker is secular. USHMM: Antisemitism

"Jews deserve exile because they rejected God." A longstanding Christian theological idea held that Jewish exile was divine punishment for rejecting Christianity. This contributed to the belief that Jews were supposed to remain stateless and subordinate. Modern hostility to the idea of Jewish return or Jewish self-determination can sometimes reproduce this older supersessionist structure. USHMM: Antisemitism From the Early Church to 1400

"Jews fabricate persecution for sympathy, money, or power." Modern claims that Jews invent antisemitism, exaggerate persecution, fabricated the Holocaust, or use accusations of antisemitism solely for political advantage build on older stereotypes portraying Jews as inherently dishonest and manipulative. USHMM: Antisemitism

The point: a society can become less religious without automatically shedding the prejudices that were created inside a religious culture. Many modern antisemitic claims are secularized versions of much older Christian accusations against Jews.

Being atheist does not make someone immune to repeating Christian antisemitism. Sometimes the theology disappears, but the trope survives.

A couple of these are actually far older prior to Christianity. The Greeks, Romans and Egyptians held some very fucked up views on Jewish people to the point that Josephus Flavius wrote Against Apion to counter the 'claims' made.

Also look at Tacitus and what he said on Jews (some quotes because holy shit, this guy HATED Jews)-'Moses, wishing to secure for the future his authority over the nation, gave them a novel form of worship, opposed to all that is practiced by other men. Things sacred with us, with them have no sanctity, while they allow what with us is forbidden. In their holy place they have consecrated an image of the animal* by whose guidance they found deliverance from their long and thirsty wanderings. They slay the ram, seemingly in derision of Hammon, and they sacrifice the ox, because the Egyptians worship it as Apis. They abstain from swine's flesh, in consideration of what they suffered when they were infected by the leprosy to which this animal is liable. By their frequent fasts they still bear witness to the long hunger of former days, and the Jewish bread, made without leaven, is retained as a memorial of their hurried seizure of corn. We are told that the rest of the seventh day was adopted, because this day brought with it a termination of their toils; after a while the charm of indolence beguiled them into giving up the seventh year also to inaction.'

*Tacitus is claiming Jewish people worshiped a donkey in the temple.

'This worship, however introduced, is upheld by its antiquity; all their other customs, which are at once perverse and disgusting, owe their strength to their very badness. The most degraded out of other races, scorning their national beliefs, brought to them their contributions and presents. This augmented the wealth of the Jews, as also did the fact, that among themselves they are inflexibly honest and ever ready to shew compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies. They sit apart at meals, they sleep apart, and though, as a nation, they are singularly prone to lust, they abstain from intercourse with foreign women; among themselves nothing is unlawful. Circumcision was adopted by them as a mark of difference from other men. Those who come over to their religion adopt the practice, and have this lesson first instilled into them, to despise all gods, to disown their country, and set at nought parents, children, and brethren. Still they provide for the increase of their numbers. It is a crime among them to kill any newly-born infant. They hold that the souls of all who perish in battle or by the hands of the executioner are immortal. Hence a passion for propagating their race and a contempt for death. They are wont to bury rather than to burn their dead, following in this the Egyptian custom; they bestow the same care on the dead, and they hold the same belief about the lower world.'

'Quite different is their faith about things divine. The Egyptians worship many animals and images of monstrous form; the Jews have purely mental conceptions of Deity, as one in essence. They call those profane who make representations of God in human shape out of perishable materials. They believe that Being to be supreme and eternal, neither capable of representation, nor of decay. They therefore do not allow any images to stand in their cities, much less in their temples. This flattery is not paid to their kings, nor this honor to our Emperors. From the fact, however, that their priests used to chant to the music of flutes and cymbals, and to wear garlands of ivy, and that a golden vine was found in the temple, some have thought that they worshiped father Liber, the conqueror of the East, though their institutions do not by any means harmonize with the theory; for Liber established a festive and cheerful worship, while the Jewish religion is tasteless and mean.'

The Good Place is an excellent show for many reasons, but one that doesn't really get talked about enough, probably because of how the season 1 twist obscures it, is that the 'No Exit'-esque "Hell is Other People" scenario for an afterlife of eternal torture is an avante garde experiment from an Auteur demon who's trying to convince the other demons of his Vision while they're like "idk man flaying genitals works really good"
