REALLY

FUCKING ALL OF THEM??!?!?!!

vintage-tigre

Next time you’re watching any news show or political coverage see how many of these you can spot:

Quick rundown of each propaganda technique:

• Glittering Generalities: Using vague, emotionally appealing words (like “freedom” or “justice”) that sound good but lack specific meaning.

• Transfer: Associating a person, idea, or product with something already respected or disliked (like using a flag, religion, or celebrity image) to carry over those feelings.

• Name-Calling: Attaching negative labels to an opponent or idea to create fear or distrust without real evidence.

• Card-Stacking: Presenting only positive information for one side and leaving out or distorting the negatives.

• Testimonial: Having a famous or respected person endorse an idea, product, or cause.

• Plain Folks: Presenting the speaker as an “ordinary” person to seem relatable and trustworthy.

• Band Wagon: Urging people to follow the crowd with the idea that “everyone else is doing it.”

I like this because it's purely educational and not accusatory at all.

They just tell you what to watch out for without attaching any shame to it.

Occasionally I forget that The Mechanisms have a Tumblr fandom, until I get jumpscared by photos on my dash of people I've done silly theatre stuff with.

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard

Short Story Collection

This is an extra Tsujimura-Sensei wrote for the Pride-month 2026 and posted it on bluesky. Mind you that she wants to revise the story when she has time. So I will correct the content once that happens.

(A short story that contains slight spoilers for the final volume of The Case Files of Jeweler Richard)

"I want to be honest."

"Go ahead."

"I want to get married."

"We're already married."

"No... I don't mean spiritually. I mean I want us to be legally married."

"I agree with that, but it won't be possible today or tomorrow. Has something happened?"

"There aren't many inconveniences to living with you. But still, when I suddenly get caught up in trouble again or something like that, I really hate the idea of you being pushed aside."

"Then will you truly obtain British citizenship?"

"I am thinking about it... I am thinking about it... I am... but ughhhhhhh..."

"That voice crawling along the ground is answer enough."

"Ugh..."

"But to be even more honest, I feel indebted to the gay people who march in Pride parades."

"In what sense?"

"...Because I don't march either... I can't really say I'm actively involved in rights issues, and to begin with, it's not as though I'm personally involved in the struggle over marriage rights."

"The vast majority of gay people do not participate in parades. They simply live their lives."

"But it's precisely because there are people who stand up and say, 'This isn't good enough!!' that it definitely becomes easier for the rest of us to breathe. And it feels really uncomfortable, benefiting from that without contributing anything..."

"And yet, I know that you make donations to various causes."

"That's true."

"Just staying alive is genuinely difficult for human beings, isn't it? All things considered, I think I was born in a good era."

"You're not joking?"

"Of course not. After all, I got to meet you."

"............"

"I do think I was born in a good era. But by the time you reach my age, you realize there are things that won't change if all you do is sit in the bath and think, 'Ah, things turned out well.' People from younger generations start coming along too, like Minoru-kun. So if possible, I'd like kids younger than me to be able to think, 'I was born in an even better era than he was.'"

"...I completely agree."

"Yeah, figured you would."

"...I'm really going to think about a lot of things from now on. Truly, a lot of things. I'll think about changing my nationality as well. But more than that, I'm going to try thinking a little more seriously about the country where I was born. When all is said and done, I am Japanese, after all. I put nori on white rice, make miso soup, cook rolled omelets, and eat them with green tea."

"The breakfasts you make are always excellent. And if possible, I would like you to live happily forever in the place where your smile comes most naturally."

"Together with you."

"...If that wish can be granted, then I have no other wish."

"Thanks. But if I can spend the rest of my life with you, then I feel like wanting to aim a little higher."

"'Aim higher' is an interesting expression. I understand it as meaning to desire something beyond one's station. Yet in this age, when equality is supposed to be taken for granted, what exactly could you possibly be aiming higher for?"

"I want a happiness that isn't just enough for me alone."

"............"

"I don't like the idea of you not being happy too."

"............"

"Well, I guess that's actually a pretty ordinary wish after all! A-anyway, now I'm starting to feel embarrassed, so I'm going to take a bath."

"I'm beginning to feel embarrassed as well, so I think I'll go to bed first. Good night."

"...Can I say that I love you?"

"Of course."

Some days I honestly feel like my ADHD meds aren't doing anything. But this morning, I was a couple of hours late taking them and, up until about 11am, I was genuinely convinced that my life was over and I was a failure and might as well go back to bed and rot. Then they kicked in and I showered, made lunch, did some work on a volunteering thing, went out to the cinema, came home and did some more of the volunteering work, touched up my hair dye, and did some laundry.

Drugs fuckin' rule.

It's fun being queer and weird and unconventional until you remember you live in a society

aholefilledwithtwigs

I have never read or watched Death Note and i know the whole ‘book that kills people’ premise but from all the shit i see on here it seems to be two teenaged boys acting out this scene over and over

redstonedust

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

melanqueerly

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

phinarei

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.
