"Love is love" is a milquetoast cishet marketing phrase

Pride is a FUCK YOU to a society that wants us dead.

d'you ever think about the fact that people still actively talk about the life and activism and sociopolitical contributions of Marsha P. Johnson (a person who actively contributed to acceptance and civil rights with her whole life) almost 35 years after her murder, and not a single person has spoken Bill O'Reilly (a guy who was world-famous for spreading conservative hatespeech)'s name aloud since he stopped hosting his dumbass show, which was less than a decade ago? surely there must be a lesson here

[mortimermcmirestinks]

bill o'reilly is still alive. he's in his seventies. he's still doing stuff. at his peak popularity like fifteen years ago he was practically a household name. he's a wealthy cishet white man, with all the advantages in the world. but not a single person gives a shit about him or his work, nobody ever talks about him or even thinks about him, because at the end of the day, he is and has always been a disposable nothing-man who spewed hatred in such an unremarkable and interchangeable manner that when he got fired five more identical guys immediately sprung up hydra-like to take his place.

marsha p. johnson was killed before the age of fifty. she never had a nationally-syndicated broadcast television show. she was, in modern terminology, a trans woman sex worker of colour, four categories of people whose existence and contributions are constantly downplayed, hidden, and erased. but people still talk about her every day. because she was an irreplaceably important person whose successors built on her legacy rather than just retracing her steps.

marsha p. johnson and her activism will never, ever be forgotten. bill o'reilly and his hatred already has been.

PLEASE search "beetle gallery" and look at images. The patterns larval beetles leave behind under the bark of trees while feeding are so so beautiful

"why is this person drawing sexualized art of hatsune miku, isn't hatsune miku canonically 16?" hatsune miku is a voice bank. she's pretty much an electronic piano that goes Oo Ee Oo. hatsune miku is not a person with a life. nobody is doing CSAM of hatsune miku, because hatsune miku is not a C you can do M featuring SA about. that's a glorified slide whistle on the compyooter. you cannot psychologically abuse a theremin. it's generally agreed to be impossible to traumatize a harmonica. hatsune miku is a nonsapient synthesizer software addon. you can't do child abuse to a nonsapient synthesizer software addon. you cannot. do. child abuse. to a nonsapient. synthesizer. software addon. hello hello hello can anyone hear me

[mortimermcmirestinks]

do you understand that drawing a picture of a cartoon software mascot in a swimsuit is a different type of action from abusing a child. that's not the same kind of thing. those are two different types of action. there is no connection between those actions. if someone draws a boob that person is not now guilty of assaulting a minor. do you understand. do you understand. do you understand. do you understand.

[say-gex]

i understand, why are they drawing it though? it's still kinda weird

[mortimermcmirestinks]

why should I give a fuck. who cares

[mortimermcmirestinks]

it's been over a month since I made this post and I swear to god 80% of the responses are people saying "yeah I agree" and then 10% are people saying "drawing smut of this bassoon cartoon is basically child sexual abuse material" and the other 10% are people saying "as someone who was sexually abused as a child it's honestly really offensive for people to compare bassoon cartoon smut to my trauma"

[mortimermcmirestinks]

y'know someone reblogged this to accuse me of defending CSAM. truly the piss on the poor website

[overfedvenison]

I've noticed that the argument people who are opposed to this sort of art tends to have is like ''Well, why you doing it? It's still weird.' This is notably not an argument, it's an attempt to shame people into agreement

Listen - Ethically what we have to keep in mind is the existence of harm Things are bad when they bring harm This person seems to have accepted the statement that a drawing of Hatsune Miku is an inherently a different thing than child abuse, and people are engaging with it for entirely different reasons than that. (And some people will pursue some quite abstract justifications to not admit this.) So, if a drawing harms no one, is obviously not encouraging others to harm people, and through it's creation has brought no harm, then there is no legitimate reason to oppose it's existence. Opposing something at that point amounts to "This offends my personal sensibilities," which... Well, you can be offended then. That, in and of itself, is not a reason for something not to exist.

One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that

Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today

[mortimermcmirestinks]

The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch 

published: May 1, 1980

““Elizabeth was a beautiful princess. She lived in a castle and had expensive princess clothes. She was going to marry a prince named Ronald.

Unfortunately, a dragon smashed her castle, burned all her clothes with his fiery breath, and carried off Prince Ronald.

Elizabeth decided to chase the dragon and get Ronald back. She looked everywhere for something to wear, but the only thing she could find that was not burnt was a paper bag. So she put on the paper bag and followed the dragon. He was easy to follow, because he left a trail of burnt forests and horses’ bones.

Finally, Elizabeth came to a cave with a large door that had a huge knocker on it. She took hold of the knocker and banged on the door. The dragon stuck his nose out of the door and said, “Well, a princess! I love to eat princesses, but I have already eaten a whole castle today. I am a very busy dragon. Come back tomorrow.” He slammed the door so fast that Elizabeth almost got her nose caught.

Elizabeth grabbed the knocker and banged on the door again. The dragon stuck his nose out of the door and said, “Go away. I love to eat princesses, but I have already eaten a whole castle today. I am a very busy dragon. Come back tomorrow.” “Wait,” shouted Elizabeth. “Is it true that you are the smartest and fiercest dragon in the whole world?” “Yes,” said the dragon.

“Is it true,” said Elizabeth, “that you can burn up ten forests with your fiery breath?” “Oh, yes,” said the dragon, and he took a huge, deep breath and breathed out so much fire that he burnt up fifty forests.

“Fantastic,” said Elizabeth, and the dragon took another huge breath and breathed out so much fire that he burnt up one hundred forests. “Magnificent,” said Elizabeth, and the dragon took another huge breath, but this time nothing came out. The dragon didn’t even have enough fire left to cook a meatball.

Elizabeth said, “Dragon, is it true that you can fly around the world in just ten seconds?” “Why, yes,” said the dragon, and jumped up and flew all the way around the world in just ten seconds. He was very tired when he got back, but Elizabeth shouted, “Fantastic, do it again!”

So the dragon jumped up and flew around the whole world in just twenty seconds. When he got back he was too tired to talk, and he lay down and went straight to sleep.

Elizabeth whispered, very softly, “Hey, dragon.” The dragon didn’t move at all. She lifted up the dragon’s ear and put her head right inside. She shouted as loud as she could, “Hey dragon!” The dragon was so tired he didn’t even move.

Elizabeth walked right over the dragon and opened the door to the cave. There was Prince Ronald. He looked at her and said, “Elizabeth, you are a mess! You smell like ashes, your hair is all tangled and you are wearing a dirty old paper bag. Come back when you are dressed like a real princess.”

“Ronald,” said Elizabeth, “your clothes are really pretty and your hair is very neat. You look like a real prince, but you are a bum.”

They didn’t get married after all.””

[shadesofnerdness]

“This story is a success because it is real. There are no princes but there are a lot of bums, and you don’t want to marry one.”

-Robert Munch

okay but by a wide margin the funniest part of the TADC finale is that I tried to predict exactly ONE plot twist, and I thought it was gonna be the Big Final Plot Twist if it happened at all, like, I thought it was gonna be the big wham moment right near the end, and it was the only thing I bothered to consider as a potential prediction, and I was like "well this probably won't happen but if it DOES happen then it's gonna be, like, the last thing to happen in the episode", and then it was the first thing that happened in the episode lmfao

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[lakemojave]

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

quirky fourth wall breaking character but theyre just fucking. wrong about the medium theyre in. they keep making references to cinematic techniques and directorial styles and the other fourth wall breaking character is like "dumbass we're in a fucking comic book" and they are in a video game.
