Take a moment to release the tension in your body. Relax your shoulders. Stop clenching your jaw. Take a deep breath.

[the-argyle-shitpost]

unpopular opinion maybe but I think purity culture and cancel culture have gone too far, and they’ve started to become so ugly and toxic. let’s bring back critical thinking, patience with others, and opportunity for growth

[the-argyle-shitpost]

Okay. Holy fuck. This post blew up – on a sideblog where I had, I shit you not, only two followers when I posted this – so I’d like to clarify what I meant when I made this post.

Great question!

1) I am NOT saying we support murderers, rapists, and abusers; people who decide to commit crimes such as those do not deserve our support, and that’s fine.

2) I am also NOT saying we let creators/celebrities/influencers etc say and do racist/homophobic/transphobic etc things and get away with it.

3) I am NOT saying we go back to the “good ol’ days” where openly being racist, for example, was acceptable. I don’t want that. If you reblogged this post thinking “god, yes, I want to say bigoted things again without sjws attacking me for it” tough luck buddy, but this post ain’t supporting that or you.

This post is actually directed to activist communities, particularly online ones. This criticism is coming from someone who is a part of those activist communities because I think it’s time we have an intra-community discussion about how we react to problematic events.

So say a celebrity does something problematic. Let’s use a real-world example, okay? A while ago, Terry Crews came under fire for saying people needed paternal and maternal love “no matter where you get that [from].”

People immediately jumped on him for implying that children of single parents or same-sex parents were lacking, that he was being homophobic, that he’d blown it, that he was cancelled and could no longer be a role model despite his past activism and support of various good causes, and that was that.

From 0 to 100 real quick. From a valid criticism sprouting from his miscommunication and his audience’s misunderstanding – to saying his role as an activist was forever over.

Do you understand how toxic that is? People – even our ALLIES – cannot make a single mistake, not say a single thing out of line without being dragged forth and humiliated and “cancelled.”

We as activists cannot, CANNOT, demand perfection. We ourselves are NOT perfect, we ourselves have done and said problematic things in the past and so we cannot demand absolute perfection from others.

Our response to problematic things and people has to change.

How should we change?

We should educate. When someone, ally or enemy, does something problematic, instead of dragging them or cancelling them or making fun of them we should politely educate them on why what they did is wrong. More often than not? They’ll understand and apologize!

Always assume ignorance on their part instead of malice, because actual malice in the world is rare, while simple ignorance is widespread.

If we come at them and attack them? Very likely they will double down on their position and refuse to change, because of the toxicity of the response they got from this movement. And they won’t learn and grow from this experience and will likely dig themselves deeper in this hole.

We have to be more patient with others. I know it is tiring and frustrating and exhausting to deal with problematic attitudes and comments, which often come in the form of microaggressions, but we have to rise above our initial instinct to lash out and attack if we want any lasting positive social change to be made.

Because we don’t want a society where people are afraid to speak their minds, do we? We don’t want a society where people are afraid they’ll say the wrong thing and be excommunicated from a group forever, do we? We don’t want a fucking authoritarian Twitter regime, do we, where the slightest misstep kicks you to the cub for good?

I know I don’t. I want a society free of prejudices and bigotry, but one that is patient and understanding when people make mistakes. Even when their mistakes cause momentary harm, because it’s going to happen and it sucks, but it’s a part of the process.

Bottom line is: if you do not become a more patient, compassionate, and understanding person, you are going to alienate your allies. You are going to drive away more and more people from this movement because of how toxic the response to even the smallest of mistakes is. Nobody’s going to WANT to be a part of that movement, and for good reason.

Embrace patience and empathy and education. Destroy cancel culture.

I’m trying to post more consistently aaaaa)

[neogenkiart]

"What if everything supernatural, any legend ever told could be summed up in one word...

Dragons?

 Dragons.

A quirky kid with a lost past who just wants to be useful ends up setting off on a journey to bring peace and unity between four Draconic tribes, while friends and family try to shield this naïve samaritan from the harsh realities of war and an age-old conflict. Little do they know, Arin might need a little less protection than they think."

 The rebootening has begun! It will be a semi-animated series and I’M EXCITED Y’ALL

“The Ember” now updates Tuesdays and Thursdays!

(**Note: There are humans in this, but Drakes are a shapeshifting hermaphroditic species and I consider them to be Intersex, because honestly, I don’t see a whole lot of representation for myself anywhere in that regard haha

 It’s all pretty subtle and jokey, but if you’re uncomfortable with that fact or the idea of a non-binary/pangender species, this comic might not be for youuuu**)

[neogenkiart]

I would like to take a moment to say how much I adore your version of the We Bare Bears! =3 I think the way you design them is really, REALLY cute and I love the idea that not only are they humans but bear people. It's so unique x3 I also love that you added in scruffs and arm hairs for Grizz, that's a nice attention to detail that not many would do =3 Also if you don't mind me asking though, do you have like headcanons or facts about your bear-people of the bears? =3

AW THANK you so much I wish I had seen this sooner!

and aside from regular bear things like hibernating and canon trait from the show, not really?

Hey...

If you support/voted for Trump that's fine and dandy if that's what you're about. I honestly came into this whole thing without a real side so I'm doin my best not to judge. And I'm not calling you a bigot or anything so don't try getting in your feelings.

But to the people who are legitimately worried for your own and your family's safety and well being, we are gonna get through this. All of us. I know that there are gonna be people who will automatically try to invalidate your fears bc they honestly probably won't ever be able to understand.

and all jokes and memes aside I know there are a lot of people who may have lost some faith in our country and even some of it's citizens, but I'm here if you wanna talk or vent or whatever.

I don't wanna talk "they vs them" bullsshit politics with you tho, I've had enough stress today with this dumb ass election

but seriously all of you guys stay safe and most importantly, do not harm yourselves or others.

[glumshoe]

Hey...

If Trump wins tonight, let’s all agree to survive and thrive out of spite.

[pervocracy]

This is important. Life goes on. We can still take care of ourselves and each other.

[neogenkiart]

Are people actually giving you shit over fan art like wow, what kind of time do they have on their hands? Definition of privilege: "This art about a cartoon offends me"

yeahhhh I guess some people just like to be unhappy about stuff... ...but wbb is a show with love and acceptance and good clean fun, which is the reason why I love it.and drawing fan art makes me happy so I guess I’ll just keep doin it haha
