Genuinely monaco quali was the first f1 thing ive seen for months....and that fuck ass kid is still there ruining eveything, like im tempted to just quite this whole season and give it another go next year.

I love the posts that are like "Well this is very clearly the canon but y'all are So Desperate to ignore canon and warp it to whatever fantasy you have for these characters." Like yeah. That's what fandom is. That's what most fan-fiction is built around. The DC fandom specifically is basically built on picking and choosing which comics you personally feel in your heart are canon. That's the fun of it. "Y'all love to ignore some things just to make your character dynamics work." Yes. Yeah that's the point. Correct.

one particularly annoying effect of culture wars focusing on random minorities is that it routinely leads to the most painfully inane, meaningless discourses in the world being lead with such rabid intensity that you sort of end up being coerced into participating just because the stakes are being raised to such an inappropriate level and because either side knows very well they're actually debating proxy wars for greater social questions. but that doesn't make the actual topic less inane. drag queens for example are probably on average one of the most boring and overhyped cultural exports of the gay lifestyle ever (sorry) but because the people who dislike it can't stop sounding like hitler about it you're constantly forced to defend the practice just on principle of like, basic human rights. awkward poorly written token minorities in gaming et al are somewhat obnoxious and are almost always soulless cash grabs but since a sizeable portion of the criticism comes out as jim crow-style vitriol the counterposition inevitably turns to wholesale endorsement because there's no room left for emotionally proportional behaviour. someone putting their pronouns in their email signature approximately ranks among the most unimportant matters in the world but somehow i'm supposed to pretend not only that it's worth having an opinion on but that this opinion is so vital that our very civilisation is at stake over it. mandatory cultural unclenching now

i did one of my final projects with this in mind, I broke down why DBH is a horrible game from a diversity/gameplay standpoint (even though that was what everybody always praised it for due to the android racism) then I ended the project with "but I'm still going to play it and have fun because it's a fucking game and not a Senate debate"

To any suicidal followers I may have: This is a sign to not kill yourself. You are loved and the world is special because you are in it. Keep holding on.

-PLEASE REBLOG THIS YOU MAYBE ARE SAVING SOMEONES LIFE

You are special and amazing , If you need to talk or some help send me a dm and I will talk to you.

ok i need people who are happy about the tiktok ban to understand your opinion should actually have nothing to do with the fact that it’s tiktok. like you can hate tiktok. but supporting the ban is supporting censorship, full stop.

like, i fucking hate twitter. it’s a hellhole. would i celebrate if it went bankrupt and shutdown? probably! would i celebrate if the GOVERNMENT BANNED IT? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. because the government SHOULD NOT be making decisions about how and what people are allowed to talk about on the internet. ever.

“i don’t like the precedent but im happy if it’s just tiktok” stfu and think for a second if they only ban tiktok and nothing else ever that’s still censorship

[feels-by-the-foot]

The Supreme Court explained why they are banning it. It's not because of "what people talk about on the internet." It's because the app is legally required to surrender any data it collects to Chinese authorities upon request, which the court sees as a potential threat to national security. If TikTok sold to a U.S. owner, it wouldn't be banned. But they are not doing that.

There are a million other places you can express yourself and your opinion on the internet and in the real world. It's one app.

[mintyleaves00]

Wow love you just ignoring the actual post here. It doesn't matter WHY a piece of media is getting banned. Especially something like tiktok that houses around 1.7 mil americans it is more about the precedent it sets.

Suzanne Collins publishing a book the same year the SCOTUS decides freedom of speech is out is crazyyyy

She doesn’t even need to market this baby. the us government is doing it for her
