tbh âandrew hussie trivializes the holocaust for viewsâ happening on the first day of 2019 proves pretty conclusively that weâre arent outta the bad timeline yet
welp.
dave would call me a trap. john would think its funny, and rose would get mad at me for defending myself. jade would stay neutral bc shes a liberal. karkat would double down and call me a tranny. terezi would join in because sheâs a fascist ironically. kanayas a terf
Not to be pretentious about art but male photographers that have portfolios that are almost exclusively filled with naked skinny white women with big boobs arenât artists theyâre just perverts

There, now both sides of the coin are shown.

i am SO SICK of unhappy endings. idk about anyone else but the #1 reason i like fiction is because everything can always work out no matter how bad it is. âwhat if the good guys lostâ shut up. you are so fucking boring. give me happy endings or give me nothing
âThe trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.â
âBut to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe a happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.â

wild how in the Aquaman movie the Atlanteans have such different culture from humans that Mera thinks flowers are food but she still instinctively knows how to wear a full face of makeupÂ
are you seriously asking me if I think itâs more plausible that an isolated and largely inhuman culture just happened to develop a female beauty standard thatâs absolutely identical to what 21st century moviegoers would recognize as attractive?
because no, I donât. I think that sounds ridiculous, and itâs just lazy worldbuilding thatâs so common as to be entirely predictable.
The idea that underwater makeup is more likely than underwater flora is what really slays me tbh
Hold on, why canât it be that she just doesnât understand human customs?
She sees everyone eating everything around her and just assumes âwell⊠when in Romeâ *buhdum* and takes a bite.
All sorts of places have different customs. What one country eats, another doesnât.
The make up thing I have no answer for, haha.
thatâs sort of the point Iâm getting at
making Mera (adorably) clueless about human customs in some ways but presuming that sheâs perfectly capable of replicating involved makeup routines - without even a scene of her struggling with a mascara wand or trying to navigate purchasing makeup from a human drugstore - is lazy worldbuilding because it fails to interrogate why this woman should blend seamlessly into another cultureâs beauty standards so effortlessly, except that the filmmakers take for granted that a woman should be beautiful
Thereâs actually a pretty good video on this topic, because itâs incredibly prevalent. Lots of media, movies especially, seem to gravitate towards female characters having fully adult bodies but with infantile mindsets, so they act like they were born yesterday, but are still viable for specializing, eg âborn sexy yesterday.â
Iâve seen the video before, and I appreciate the recognition of the trope a lot, but Iâm not sure Meraâs a full-blown case. sheâs naive about certain aspects of surface dweller life, for sure, but I donât think it makes her vulnerable or malleable to nearly the extent of many of the characters described above - especially since, unless Iâm misreading the movie, she and Arthur are both mutually âfish out of waterâ (excuse the bad bad pun) in each otherâs respective cultureâs, making their relationship much less imbalanced than most cases of born sexy yesterday.
I should also point out that this isnât really the critique I was trying to make at all; my issue isnât with Mera not being all-knowing, but that her selective knowledge of surface culture blatantly illustrates that female beauty is so taken for granted and expected that filmmakers donât even feel the need to justify it
Not to mention that even if they wanted to adhere to standard western beauty ideals and not explain it, which is frustrating and lazy and Iâm tired of movies that do that, they had license to do so in far more interesting ways. Maybe using CGI or practical makeup to give the Atlantans scale patterns on their skin, or bioluminescence, or reflective streaks in their hair. Arthur got cool glowing contact lenses, does anyone else get something similar?
I mean, this was done on a tv budget (Zhaan from Farscape):
But apparently false eyelashes is the extent of anyoneâs imagination.
I just want you to know this was a black woman behind this song. Give her a credit she deserves.

There was also evidence of abuse and neglect before the incident happened and it was ignored because they trusted their white caregivers more than their own safety. Those kids were forced to do videos like that even when they said they were uncomfortable.
Donât let evil jackasses like this one decide your future. Vote.
What the absolute fuck?
friendly reminder that steve bannon used to own a world of warcraft gold farming company and realized that a lot of gamers are disenfranchised young white men who are absurdly easy to take political advantage of, and brought milo yiannopoulos on board to do it. which is a large reason why white supremacy and misogyny are so prevalent among the young white male age group right now. We can laugh at people like this all we want, but this is a phenomenon purposefully engineered by the current administration.
Iâm sorry but the Trump administration did not create the conditions for these white men to become terrible. Sure they harnessed their power but white men, especially those who feel disenfranchise for one reason or another, have always been like this. The radicalization of white gamer men through the internet is something we can talk about but acting like âoh these guys are brainwashed by Trump & co to be like thisâ is the wrong move. Banning and Milo have simply mobilized them. White supremacy and mistgony have always been prevalent and always been high.

for all you dumbasses trying to insist that bisexuality doesnât include attraction to nonbinary people, or that pan is a necessary label to express attraction to nonbinary people
Literally any other colour wouldâve been a better choice guys.
Iâd like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.
im sorry but this reply absolutely killed me
red can mean whatever the heck you want it to mean, that is never going to change that this straight up looks like they DRAGGED A BLOODY BODY ACROSS THE FUCKING FLOOR đ
