Nobody talks about the other brellies point of view of Five coming back. This is Literally the came back wrong trope. Hi my brother whos been gone 17 years came back exactly in the same body he disappeared in. He is more erratic and angry. He is covered in blood. He is talking about the end of the world. His eyes are a different colour. He knows how to do things you were never taught. He is older than you. This is not my brother.
Hi, I'm tired of genAI slop as an avid YouTube watcher. Here are a few signs that show whether a video in your homepage is made by an actual human or not.
Keep in mind that not every channel with similar style of videos are always genAI, but most I've found has pretty much the same dead giveaways
So let's get through this!
Cartoon/vector thumbnail on white background. Sometimes with an inconsistent artstyle (check other videos in the channel).
Channel name, pic, and profile lack personality or even a real name. Real Youtubers usually named their channel based on their online persona not just because of the topic of their videos (ie. cats, biology, geography, etc.)
Simple and easy, usually science-based topics that is guaranteed to get clicks.
Videos usually have a similar runtime of 7 to 12~ minutes.
No cited sources, credited artist & narrator in the description. Only linked to their accounts in other platforms.
Faceless creator, and I mean that by literal. Not like vtubers or pngtubers, the channel is devoid of an actual face/character attached to it
The narration feels a little too monotone and devoid of natural human noises (like "uhh"s, voice cracks, genuine humor). And barely any subjective opinion is in the script.
Video included AI illustrations or animations. The kind that gives you the uncanney valley feeling. If you know, you know.
Consistent upload schedule with seemingly high-production quality.
The script sounds "ChatGPT"-ish.
Dead giveaway: the channel started uploading videos only recently. Most channels I've found had only been uploading since a few months ago, around genAI content started booming basically (~2025)
Exhibit "A", AI channel for cat lovers
They're not even hiding the fact that they've uploaded videos with the same/similar topics. As someone who loves videos about cats, this is just disappointing.
Exhibit "B", science based AI channel
Ok, this one hides it a little better but you only have to check the channel description to see the red flags. The weird animations in the video is what prompted me to check the description. It's disappointing to see no sources cited at all especially when it claimed to be scientific, it's very misleading. Also, this whole thing started because of this channel lol.
Anyways, go support real creators with actual credentials and talent. Try not to give these kind of channels your time and attention. They're only here for the views and money.
Oh, and fuck GenAI.
Rest in peace ❌ Rest in pieces ✅
I like the implication that Caesar gets re-murdered each time
that's what makes it a ritual celebration
was browsing through the tumblr top 100 ships list for patreon reasons and like. look. disappointing but not surprising to see harold potter ships still alive and well. people value their nostalgia and fun over trans safety, we know this. but the most popular one is fucking. harry's dad x his friend's little brother who tried to be a wizard nazi and then felt bad about it??? hello???
ooooooh the cope is fucking unreal
it's so extra lame because if you check the tag all the most popular posts are just generic ass m/m shit, like you could fill in the blanks with any names and it would be the same. move along and get your homoslop somewhere else already.
learning Abt American black history should radicalize people because 80% of it is just "yeah these white people committed hate crimes and mostly got away with it while black families and communities were left in shambles and still haven't had reparations met decades later"
white Americans will teach fabricated black history but remove the other half of it because it quite literally makes them look evil with the amount of murder and displacement they have caused to black communities. they'll teach you a portion of MLK but not the BPP or Tulsa race massacre
"we'll teach you a little bit about Rosa Parks but exclude every other black civil rights leader and activist especially Malcolm x + accomplishments enslaved black people made or their rebellion against their slavers"
"don't ask us what happened to that black neighborhood in 1985"
it's very fucking important to learn about black American history in full detail because they are dead set on erasing and fabricating our trauma filled history. it is detrimental to civil rights as a whole.
One of my favorite activities is traumatizing crackers with lil snippets of what they’ve done to us. Some of my favorites include:
The “last” non-prison chattel slaves known to be released in the US were released in the 1960s. Like 5 years before the civil rights movement. My (Black, tbc) dad was born while other Black folks were still enslaved. I’m only 29.
Speaking of my dad, he was part of bussing and desegregation as a high schooler. Note again, I’m only 29.
There are still schools being desegregated as recently as the past decade. Not just redlining, etc. literal “we don’t let Black people in these parts” type segregated schools.
I’ve met multiple Black folks, including myself, who were functionally enslaved to a white at some point during their life. We weren’t legally their property via contract/deed but that didn’t stop her from hunting me down like a fucking dog across fields and through alleys while I tried to escape her with nothing but the clothes on my body.
At least 200 sundown towns are known to still exist in the US. For those who don’t know, cities where “the sun better not go down on you in (city)”. Because if you’re Black you won’t be seen again. Lotta Black folks outside cities know at least one family member or friend’s family member who got caught near one and disappeared.
MOVE Bombing in Philly, 65 predominantly Black homes destroyed to kill 13 Black separatists, half of them kids. In the past decade it was discovered two of the bodies weren’t returned to the families and ended test cadavers in multiple universities.
Tulsa race massacre
And just. So much fucking more. There’s so so much more y’all have done to us I could sit here all night and not name a fraction of it all.
Black/Racialised people are also medically abused. The Tuskegee syphilis trial ran until the 70's.
Oh also often none of this is like. Ancient history. Mississippi has schools still being legally forced to desegregate AS OF FUCKING 2026 FOR EXAMPLE
Judge finalizes Mississippi school desegregation settlement – The Mississippi Link
This might be controversial.
I really don't think anyone can do something so bad that they deserve to be haunted by their past for the rest of their lives. I DO think that this idea can coexist with the fact that many people may still never want anything to do with them ever again.
This is, of course, just anecdotal but it's interesting to me how many of the victims I've discussed this with, both online and IRL, have agreed with me, while the people who vehemently disagree tend to just take a "big", sensationalized example to prove that I'm a fuckwit.
I'm afraid the Steven Universe reference is lost on me, never saw the show. As I've said before, the only thing I would change about what I said is that no one deserves to be haunted by their past forever if they make a genuine effort to change. Which I thought was implied.
let me bring this out of the anecdotal: i'm a real live rape victim! or a survivor, whichever terminology makes the reader most comfortable with what happened to me 🩷
ever since the epstein news broke, i've been worried that the horror of epstein and co.'s crimes would bolster the carceral tendency of mainstream feminism - thanks to @e-von-dahl for the illustration!
no matter how many victims say a better form of justice would be prevention and repair, we hear a chorus of declarations that the only acceptable punishment is a public performance of punishment, either in the form of prison and state-enacted murder or a type of collective justice which must end in the perpetrator's death, suicide, or some abstract form of social ejection. who plans on enacting this lifelong 'haunting', by the way? are we seeing this strategy work out well right now? is it creating meaningful safety in real life - not just chasing transfems off social media?
one of the great pleasures of living through #metoo and the current epstein nightmare is the bone-deep knowledge that i am most valuable to others as a justification for the same violence that was done to me. when countless of us speak up to say that we don't find meaningful healing in the idea of our rapists being raped in prison or watching our friends do whatever collective 'justice' feels most validating for them, we're steven-universe utopians who mustn't presume to speak for all victims. good victims don't complicate things.
i'm very bored of the pretense that our two options are to endorse sexual violence or to leap to totalizing punishment. i also think that's a bad faith reading of what Matty said, and i think it's a convenient stopthink to say he ought not say his piece because of current events. thinking compassionately for victims should create a more challenging discussion of justice, not a demand for solemn silence.
this is the nicest way i can say it: ceding ground on anti-carceral values is choosing the satisfaction of punishment over the hard work of prevention and the harder work of repair.
Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.
Time for my favorite chart!
Notice billions ain't even on there. Outliers something something.
if there’s one narrative in the harry potter fandom that annoys me more than anything, it’s the whole “house-elves are slaves” narrative.
when i first discovered this narrative, i discovered to go straight to the source and ask for myself. i have a best friend who is a middle-class, black woman. she is the one that introduced me to harry potter and her first response when i told her of this whole narrative was “they’re literally animals but okay. that’s like calling police dogs slaves”.
and she went on to say that the fans who uphold this narrative are equating black people with subhuman creatures, that makes you lot problematic not the books, because the books aren’t written with this meaning. and i’m not arrogant enough to tell a black person how they should feel about an issue that’s about them.
this is also hammered home by the fact that every person online who i’ve been seen uphold this narrative has been white. do you know how many black people i’ve seen in real life or online that are into harry potter? so all you white saviours aren’t doing the favour that you think you are, black people would likely tell you shut up. by comparing them to subhuman creatures, you’re insulting them, not helping them.
the whole point of the storyline is to demonstrate hermione’s arrogance and stubbornness and how she comes from the muggle world which functions on a different logic to the magical world and she doesn’t understand. and when she tried to help them, the house-elves said no and took it as an offence, so what do you want the others to do about it?
and no neither ron nor harry “realised hermione was right”, ron simply said that the house elves shouldn’t be fighting in the war, neither of them ever said they should stop being house-elves.
Honestly, it scares me a little to see how such important topics are too often trivialized in this way. House-elves are property; they are used as slaves in the classic sense, because they are not paid and are not given dignity. They live in closets, wearing worn, dirty rags, even in wealthy families like the Malfoys. House Elves ARE slaves.
Hermione's flawed approach is the foundation of that narrative arc. Not that her intentions are ideally flawed, but her methods are. Elves are not only physical slaves, but also mental ones. They have been subjected to wizards for centuries and brainwashed into believing that their only worthy purpose in life is to serve wizards. A slave who thinks they'll be happy living as a slave is no less a slave, they've simply found it as a method of defense and survival.
In a comment below you wrote:
Actually, they were all happy; the only one who wasn't happy was Dobby. All the others were perfectly happy being house-elves; they took it as an insult when Hermione tried to free them and thought Dobby was a weirdo. Winky was crying because she was freed.
Do you realize how problematic this point is? I repeat, this is the result of the mindwashing elves have undergone for centuries. They were convinced that their sole purpose in life was to serve the wizards, who were seen as their superiors, even though elven magic was clearly more powerful in terms of limitations.
Since we're daring to make sensitive comparisons, can I make one? Do you know who house elves remind me of? Women, oh yes, women not so many years ago, you know, those beings considered inferior who didn't have the right to vote, let alone earn money. For centuries, they were convinced that their sole purpose was to serve men, clean their houses, wash their clothes, cook for them, and in exchange, women got not payment but mere lodging. How many women have lived lives like that, self-convinced they were happy like that? The point is that there was no alternative, or rather, the alternative was sold as unappealing, even dangerous and undignified. A woman without a master, or excuse me, a husband, was a spinster; there must have been something wrong with her. No, no, better to marry the first person you could find, settle down, and live the life of a slave. Yeah, okay, maybe he beat you every now and then, but no big deal, he gave you a place to stay. You worked for free 7 days a week, but that was your purpose in life, right?
This is real life; women fought for rights and recognition. According to your logic, since everyone was seemingly content, except for a few odd isolated cases, they should have remained silent and enslaved? I know this comparison is uncomfortable and sensitive, but I can't stand to see such important issues belittled with such banality. Especially considering the times we're living in.
Wizarding culture has deep racist and classist roots, and we see it throughout the saga. It's all about wizards, even the name HOUSE-ELF itself. That's not a house-elf, that's an elf, period. Denying it makes no sense, especially since those who often claim that elves aren't slaves and that this is disrespectful to black people are the same people who use the term "racist" to define DEs. Terms are important, and I agree that they should be used thoughtfully. But denying that elves are slaves seems truly absurd to me. They clearly are. Do I need to remind you how centaurs reacted when wizards even dared to treat them like horses? Like creatures to be used? Or how goblins feel exploited by wizards? Magical creatures in HP are often treated as inferior and are creatures (those mentioned above) that cannot be compared to dogs (as much as I love dogs, let's be clear). A house elf is not a dog that cannot be magicked and cannot be given dignity or rights. You feed your dog well, right? (Bob the Dog) Do you give him toys or blankets? Do you cuddle him? Do you buy him his favorite cookies? Well, what about the elves? They have to live mistreated and dressed in rags, forced by their brainwashing to physically punish themselves, sometimes very violently, if they dare to go against their masters' direct orders. Does that sound the same to you?
House elves are slaves
I would understand, however, if the idea was to show elves as servants, beings treated with respect and paid for their work. Then yes, but they should be free to choose. If you only have one option, then that's not a choice. Returning to the previous example, a woman today is free to choose whether to work or stay at home. This doesn't mean she's forced to work if she doesn't want to (provided she's financially able within the family, of course), just as she shouldn't be forced to stay at home if she wants to pursue a career. But this mental freedom is only achieved by eliminating externally imposed barriers. Choices give freedom, not lazy shrugging, "It's always been this way." Immobility stifles progress.
However, it is an interesting topic that I would like to explore further in the near future.

not to give green day credit but it is immensely funny how often Big Corporation For Guys Men Guys Guy Corporation will be like hi green day play my event. and green day is like ok Big Corporation For Guys Men Guys Guy Corporation but you know we suck dick and penis and want to kill politicians and we are going to play our song we suck dick and penis and want to kill politicians .and Big Corporation For Guys Men Guys Guy Corporation is like ok green day thats cool. and then green day plays their song we suck dick and penis and want to kill politicians. and Big Corporation For Guys Men Guys Guy Corporation is like wtf green day you cant do that you cant play your song we suck dick and penis and want to kill politicians. and this has been happening in a cycle for 30 years.
reminds me of the time Rage Against the Machine were vying for Christmas Number 1 (british public was doing a little trolling) so the BBC had to let them come on and play 'Killing In the Name Of' live on the breakfast show, and they asked them not to swear and they swore

“what if we did the iraq war again but this time we don’t even come up with a lie to tell everyone”
"at least venezuela lost a dictator" "the good thing about trump's invasion" "maduro deserved it" oh my god some of you are dangerously susceptible to fascist propaganda.
unfriendly and honestly hostile reminder that trump isn't invading venezuela because maduro is a dictator, or because of drug cartels. he's doing it only and exclusively because they have desirable oil reserves and no other reason. reminder that venezuela is a comparatively poor country that will never financially recover from this. reminder that venezuelans are suffering with the bombing and the air strikes. reminder that trump did it to steal from them and no one did anything. reminder that this sets a dangerous precedent and now all trump has to do to invade another country is claim they're in a dictatorship. reminder that trump is a fascist dictator.
this will only be bad, for venezuelans and for all of latin america (and possibly the whole world) in the long run. trump did this not to help the venezuelans or their country, but to steal their petrol and get away with it. and he will. because that's what dictators do.
I know that there are way too many gullible and naive people out there, but thinking that Trump invaded Venezuela and Nigeria, two of the world's most oil-rich nations, and is doing so for 'humanitarian' reasons is just beyond risible and blind. This is simply well-documented history of looting repeating itself for centuries.
We all know that if Trump truly cared about human rights, there are countries conveniently aligned to his politics he would have long invaded.
No manufacturing consent this time around, just straight to the point. No "Speak softly and carry a big stick", just use the big stick.
What is the meaning of international law at this point when some countries are allowed complete impunity to do whatever they want without consequences
