Anything could happen

Jii. 36. Lots and lots of fandoms. I try to remember to tag my posts so you can blacklist things you don't want to see.

Funniest discourse ever about Eric is happening on twitter rn, genuinely so entertaining to me.

[yaoiblackmold]

Is Eric Bogosian Asian or White and he's literally Armenian so the answer is inconclusive and it depends.

[yaoiblackmold]

Guys like have we considered that DM is Asian4Asian 🤔

[yaoiblackmold]

"He's Caucasian not Asian" quick guys where do you think the Caucasus Mountains are?

Oh whatever!!!!!!

Overlap between antiblackness and antisemitism in fandoms:

- Jewish-coding and Black-coding ignored and erased e.g., character’s experiences are intentional allegory for Jewishness or Blackness, but people insist it’s about queerness instead.

- The desire to see Black and Jewish characters humbled. This is usually in retaliation for some perceived wrong due to a white character. Gets worse if said characters are successful in their fields, then it’s portrayed as “punching up”.

- Ethnic features being erased (skin lightened, curly hair straightened, slimmer noses ect).

- Discussions about antiblack/antisemitic tropes in fandom spaces dismissed because “real bigotry is more important” (“real bigotry” is then never discussed).

- When the main characters are Black/Jewish and yet the fandom won’t stop talking about that fucking white guy.

- Black/Jewish characters made out to be mean, usually depicted as bullying the poor white character (bonus if the “agonisers” are men).

- Infantilisation specific to non-white characters.

And god help you if a character is a Black Jew...

i'm sorry the demonization of robby (esp on pittok) is actually starting to get both decently concerning and annoying. it's literally all i'm seeing with discussions in regards to his character. saw someone refer to him on here as "the devil himself" in a post that had 20k notes. commentary like this was funny at first, when it felt silly and unserious, but a lot of you are not joking. and that is weird. because why is this how you guys treat the mentally ill representation all of tumblr is constantly complaining they want? you finally have it. too real? too unsavory? that's literally the whole point of his character. to give a nuanced and unflinching portrayal of depression, suicidal ideation, unresolved trauma, and work related burnout that many healthcare workers experience. robby might not be real, but these vitriolic and insensitive things you say about him will impact real people who see themselves in him. not to be too extra but maybe this is why male suicide rates are so high. because this is how you guys treat and speak about men who are actively struggling.

some people are purposely witholding empathy for his character and being so critical of his actions specifically because he's a man, and that shit is really weird. and can i say it? he's not a misogynist. i'm not gonna talk too much about that even though i could write a whole thinkpiece if sufficiently prompted. just know arguing with a woman and being a little mean to them does not at all translate to misogynoir. that's just him being off-kilter and in a shitty mood (you know, because he's actively suicidal? but yeah let's just all ignore that part). in fact, if i can participate in the woke olympics for a second i think people who are labeling robby as as misognyist fit that bill much more themselves. so many people i see making this argument boil down characters like al-hashimi and mohan to the fact that they are just women instead of grown ass adults who are strong and capable of bumping heads with robby (and this is coming from someone who strongly disliked his treatment of mohan in s2).

robby is not the big bad wolf. you give him too much credit. these women are not weak-willed flowers who will crumble at the slightest bit of conflict. funnily enough, that trend of thought is super contrarian because it makes gender their sole defining trait in the discussion of their character. it also paints them as weak victims. did we watch the same show? because i saw 2 adults. who had an argument. there's no need to cry hatecrime. and i say this as someone who is so avidly feminist. we gotta stop throwing that term around. the way you guys talk about him makes him sound so cartoonishly evil you'd think he was running around the ER shaking kids down for candy or something. it'd be funny if it wasn't so disapointing.

you don't have to like him personally to watch the show (though i do think it's a bit odd not to, given he's the main character) but refusing to acknowledge the percieved complexities of his character in the "everybody is complex" show is weird. my opinion? robby is not a bad person. hell, he's not even morally complex. i see someone who has made mistakes, just like everyone else on planet earth. he's a good, genuine guy who has been ravaged by mental illness. he is just very, very lost. that's the point. that is what mental illness can do to you. he is not a perfect person, in fact, at many points during my viewing of s2 i sort of hated him. but i will always defend him, because he is not this malicious figure the narrative online is painting him as. the pitt fandom only has this attitude for him and quite literally nobody else.

also, i heard noah wyle is getting hate for the FICTIONAL CHARACTER he plays on a FICTIONAL SHOW and all i have to say is, you guys are so fucking weird and parasocial. please touch some grass. micheal robinavitch is not a real person. he cannot hurt you.

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Just because you've talked to someone directly and they seem nice does not mean they aren't a scammer. Scam farms give their "workers" (slaves and victims) personas, stories, and scripts to follow and there is a whole scam system called pig butchering, where a scammer spends time building trust and a relationship with their target to exploit them for more and more money over time. "I talked to them for days/weeks and they were so genuine between the requests for more money, they can't be a scammer," is not a vetting process.

I really think we should've all learned this already from how many popular bloggers were exposed for faking their situations after years of collecting donations and building friendships, only to just completely vanish with the money they were given. Social media has made pig butchering extremely easy because scammers don't even need to build a fake romantic relationship anymore, they just need to become "friends" with their victims and take advantage of their compassion and desire to help (and their unwillingness to question what they're being told).

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Pig butchering scams also involve escalating requests, that's why they're called what they are. The scammer is "fattening" you up and preparing you for slaughter by easing you into not only trusting them as an individual but also not questioning them when they ask for money. It's a frog boiling method.

I haven't eaten for a week, can you give me $20 to buy groceries? My mom is very sick, can you send me $50 for medicine? I'm going to get evicted tomorrow, can you give me $300 right now so that I'm not homeless? My daughter is sick, can you send me $1000 for her surgery? You can't afford it? But I NEED it, ask your friends for the money, ask your family for the money, my daughter is going to die and it'll be your fault if you don't send me that money today, I thought you were my friend, I thought you cared about me, how could you abandon me like this?

Oih miten ihanan hirveää yrittää kirjottaa seksikohtausta suomeksi. Englanniksi se on vähän gringeä joo, mutta suomen osalta sanasto on jääny jonnekin Jallun ja Kallen sivuille. Joita todella arvostan, haluan tuoda sen takaisin ja tuntea, että oon syntynyt väärälle vuosikymmenelle, kun en voi lähetellä tuhmia kirjoituksiani lehtiin ja tienata niillä paria markkaa.

Tää on nyt vähän tämmöstä se meni sinne -huttua, ku en tiedä pilaako tunnelman jos puhun asioista niiden oikeilla nimillä. Yhden kerran käytin sanaa kalu. Hirveää. Kalu, kyrpä, muna, jorma, jortikka, meisseli, kanki, panna, nussia, puikottaa, reikä, riemurasia, pillu, vittu, römpsä, kolo, märkä, valua, kosteutta, limaa, tuotosta, hanuri, pakarat, perse, takapuoli, takamus, nuolla, imeä, liukasta, lentää, ruikkia, liukua, työntää, vetää, ottaa, antaa, saada, muodot, tissit, tisut, tisulit, rinnat, pulleat purjeet ja mahtava peräsin

Kuka näitä voi ottaa todesta saatana

"My family thinks because im a leftist it means im radical but like whats radical about that? I just want everyone to hug, no bad things to happen, free healthcare and be nice to everyone" - the coldest, rudest most judgemental person you know.

[darkladynyara]

Yeah. This. It's the refusal to acknowledge that the world is messy and complicated, that tradeoffs are a thing, and that people can disagree in good faith. Because only a Bad Person could possibly disagree with "healthcare and hugs."

noah wyle: if a series has 296 hours worth of episodes, it has 290 hours more time to build a relationship with the audience than a series with 6 hours worth of episodes

The bizarre double standard with Russia and Israel keeps hitting me and it is super weird. Like, I'm not sure it even counts as a double standard because the circumstances are so different, but if it doesn't then that's because it's actually worse and more ridiculous than that even

[inlowearthorbit]

Do you ever feel like you're going crazy

[sternfleck]

The other day I was thinking about how Russia is occupying a larger territory of indigenous land than any other nation-state on earth…and yet there are few Western voices calling for Russia to decolonise (for example) Buryatia, Yakutia, or the lands of the Kalmyks and Nenets and Evenks.

This was the year I fully grasped the extent to which Western anti-colonial activism has never actually been about indigenous sovereignty. It’s about selectively weaponising indigeneity as a geopolitical cudgel, often for antisemitic or otherwise totalitarian ends.

And yeah, thinking about it does feel like going crazy.

[inlowearthorbit]

Hi, you missed the point of this post. Fuck off.

[inlowearthorbit]

Jsyk if you respond to a post about how people are normal to Russians despite the war against Ukraine being the most inarguably black and white war of our time (that is, Russian aggression has zero justification whatsoever and there is no complexity here) but somehow have nothing but acid and venom and bigotry towards Israelis, with a tag saying essentially "unfortunately I ran into some Russians who were acting just as bad as Israelis," telling me don't worry, you're also Jewish is not going to make me regret telling you to fuck clean off

The best part of getting older is aging out of the demographic that gets killed in horror movies. I am now the age of the kooky local at the gas station who warns the band of college kids not to go to Camp Murderblood
