trying to explain sports to my gay friend: so imagine death in venice

[marisatomay]

I was talking about this with a friend but a really interesting cultural shift over the last ohhhhhh ten years maybe is that many people in fandoms view themselves as stakeholders and not audience members. Because of that, they think that the fandom should be running things, or at least have an acknowledged say in how something is run. And every reminder that they are not in control, no matter how small, bothers them.

I think people are uncomfortable by veganism because it asks them to actually give something up rather than just passively supporting an opinion. You can't just wait for petitions to sign, you actually have to change your lifestyle to be a supporter. for a lot of other causes, it's easy to convince yourself that you would help out should the opportunity arise, but if you aren't consciously perpetuating the issue or impacted yourself, you can easily just go about your life. but most people eat meat, so if you start to think about the animal agriculture industry too hard you can't keep doing it without a lot of cognitive dissonance. so if you just paint vegans as crazy people, you can just enjoy your hamburger in peace. problem solved!

the "pedophile" as an image in most usamerican's head is just as constructed as anything else. It's always people lurking and luring kids online and, not, like, your relatives or private boarding school teachers or your youth group pastors. It's an extension of suburban paranoia of the Other that simultaneously closes rank within racial and class lines (even while shielding those accused of the crimes being talked about if they're of the "right" background). It's a confluence of anti-feminist satanic panic, end of history at the end of the cold war bringing the paranoia inwards, and a group of people so inundated with their alienated suburban protestant upbringing that they don't see other people if they see those different than them: they see criminals, and worse and worse attributes to slap onto the said criminals. It's a sickness of the culture.

it's always "kill all pedophiles" to mean "brutalize those we have social position to brutalize" and not, like, "let's seriously examine what social forces allow children to get victimized." Stepping out of even the suburbs, the number one pedophile organization is US military abroad. It's no wonder that the HOA-PTA thought upholders that hate both foreigners bringing this up AND examination of mechanisms of abuse love using racialized people of the usa as a rhetorical device; these yanks barely know, let alone interact with, racialized people!

Young Cathy and Heathcliff find a half staved unconscious Jane Eyre on the moors and poked her with a stick to see if she's dead. She isn't roused by their proding and they don't care enough to try and help her so it isn't mentioned in either book.

I'm a big fan of dog murder. whenever i see a dog on the street i take out a gun and shoot it. this is informed by historical materialism

if you find a dog named laika shoot that bitch into space no remorse, not even for the advancement of science

So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like it’s morally righteous to force yourself to work while you’re sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. That’d be great
