"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary

snakes really make you appreciate how gross mammals really are. squamates are very dry and clean

a bird is a kind of reptile that has learned to be yucky.

#i love all of my pets from different taxonomic classes #but i gotta agree #when i hear ppl say that snakes and lizards are gross i rly dont get it #they are so pleasant to the touch #very clean (well excluding some having salmonella)#no fur to get in your airpipes #they don't do as much waste as a mammal #snakes are the perfect pet imo

Finding out Hans Zimmer is a transphobe genuinely had me falling to my knees

Thank you blastybaku for explaining this!/gen

If you've ever heard a movie score and thought "holy shit, this is incredible", there's like, a 50% chance it was Hans Zimmer who composed it.

This is a pretty major letdown, ngl.

Anyways, fuck transphobes, which includes Hans Zimmer, apparently.

excessively-english-jd

Anyway shoutout to John Williams, amazing composer and probably the one who made the other 50% of "holy shit amazing" soundtracks (Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Superman, and incidentally the original Harry Potter theme and score) who famously worked closely with the first openly transgender woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, Angela Morley. He respected her, and so far as I can see, has never made transphobic remarks.

#dissapointing but not surprising :/#by this point i have listened to his music so many times that i am not that devastated if i don't anymore #due to the sourness left by this info #HOW DID HE MANAGE TO TAINT THE INCREDIBLE LION KING MUSIC #that makes me cry everytime i hear it #we really can't have nice things

I'm not saying that if you dislike Korra you're a misogynist, all I'm saying is that when I was young and super deep in internalised misogyny and I first watched the show, I really, really hated her.

And then I rewatched the show in my late teens after working on myself and being in a generally better place mentally and I ended up really loving her.

YOU

ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!

I'd think the same if she was a guy, she would've probably annoyed me a lot more.

Also yeah, i self reported but i mentioned that i kinda like her a bit more now than before so in a way i was sorta agreeing. Sorry if it came out aggresive.

beifong-brainrot

It didn't come out as aggressive, just that "well I haven't really changed my opinion about any of her traits but I hate her a little less💕" is an incredibly weird thing to announce about yourself in a post that alludes to the fact that misogyny plays a role in Korra hate.

I also just have a really low tolerance for people who don't like Korra at this point. I'm sorry but I don't respect "she's boring" or "she's annoying" as valid critiques on Korra or reasons to dislike her anymore. Skill issue. Do better. Get good, even.

hydrasaura

I'm sorry then, really. I wanted to explain why i find those traits boring and annoying regardless of gender, to me, personally, but i realise my mistake and that it's kinda pointless now (and anything i say will only make things worse).

#i think i disliked her because i found her boring. like sure annoying too cause of the yelling and hot-headed-ness #but also uninteresting?#now with the prospect of her (directly or indirectly) causing an avatar apocalypse; i might actually like her #i guess i changed from hating her to being indifferent abt her #but tbh the entire krew was annoying to me not just korra #usually i watch for the villains when the main cast is boring

No. They’ve never killed anyone

Remaining time: 3 days 9 hours

Every poll on this blog is about fictional characters only. This request was sent to us and we made a poll in response to it. Send any Blorbo-related question you want to our inbox and we’ll make a poll on which people can vote with their own Blorbos in minds

#diana: yes it was justified #hira: she probably did some justified; many not.

I suggest getting angrier about misogyny.

"at least be nice about-" no. Girl. Kill him over it. We're done. It's been centuries of this bullshit since time immemorial and he hasn't learned. Obliterate him.

#yesterday i saw a couple of men in a comments section getting all “she should be glad the man took it” at #a video of a woman slapping a rando eho just walked to her and made very distasteful remark about her kid #basically harassing her and her child #and idk...i know that “not all men” but sometimes i wish that men who jump in to make this comments #would be instantly hit with the pain of menstruation cramps or something
