kisaita isnt about twink shark monsterfucking. its about the crown jewel of an elite and doomed family ruining his own life and running off to interact with people he would otherwise never be around and the closest person to him is an incredibly talented and powerful but tragically disillusioned man from a war torn society who was originally tasked to eliminate him should he ever betray the akatsuki but he never does because they actually learn about and respect each other and despite both of them knowing that neither will ever see a happy sunrise ever again they still make an effort to take care of each other

“Disabled ” is a neutral descriptor at worst. It just means we can’t do some things the way other people can, or at all. It’s not an insult, and it doesn’t mean we’re lesser.

Disabled culture is beautiful and wonderful. Disabled people are beautiful and wonderful. We and our worlds are not a misfortune or a consolation prize.

This is Obi-Wan Kenobi: A phenomenal pilot who doesn’t like to fly. A devastating warrior who’d rather not fight. A negotiator without peer who frankly prefers to sit alone in a quiet cave and meditate.

“And you, Master. What does your heart tell you you’re meant for?” “Infinite sadness,” Obi-Wan said, even while smiling.

I find I have to mention this to people a lot: the way to check your own fandom racism or anti-blackness isn’t how you react to the flawless POC characters, but how you react when POC characters have flaws. 

Like, I’ve known people who tear down Simone from The Good Place, and when I pointed out that none of her flaws are even close to those of Eleanor, from season one or even currently, and suggested that they should consider whether biases are influencing their hatred for the character, they cited their love for Shuri from Black Panther, and characters like her. Shuri is not a hard character to love; she never challenges the audience to see her in a complex way. She is funny, smart, and never burdensome to anyone.

Myself, I hated Katara from Avatar when I was younger. Now, I am able to identify the internalized misogyny and racism in my dislike for her; I hated her because she was inconvenient at times and wasn’t always nice to the characters I liked. Similar deal with Frank Zhang from Heroes of Olympus. But both of those characters (and all characters) were significant for what they represented.

Fandom racism isn’t just hating POC characters for no reason or ignoring POC ships; it also manifests in the double-standard where we’re willing to forgive white characters for more things than POC characters.

This is Sarah Grimké.

She was born to a rich plantation family in the American South during the time of slavery. She owned a slave, Hetty, a girl her parents gave her when she was a child. She was absolutely the sort of person whose racism you could justify as being ‘of her time’ and ‘just the way she was raised’.

And she cited the injustices she saw growing up on the plantation as the motivation for her becoming an abolitionist as an adult.

When she was a kid, she tried to give bible lessons to the slaves on her Dad’s plantation, and taught her own slave to read and write. As an adult, she and her sister campaigned for the end of slavery. When she found out that one of her brothers had raped one of his own slaves and gotten her pregnant three times, she welcomed her nephews into the family and paid for education for the two that wanted it.

This was a woman who was raised in a culture of slavery, looked around her as a child and said “hey, wait a minute, we’re all assholes!” and spent the rest of her life trying to put things right.

It absolutely was a choice.

[roseapprentice]

This is something I’ve been forced to learn in the past two years. The world around me is turning into something I was raised to believe could only happen in history books, or maybe in other parts of the world that sort of belonged in history books.

The more I see this happening–and the more I learn about the past and how hard people did fight to stop Hitler from initially rising to power, or to point out the humanity of slaves–the more apparent it becomes that we have always had these choices, and they’ve always been the same.

And we’re always going to have genuinely appealing opportunities to make the worst possible choices again, no matter how much more modern the world appears.

[katrinageist]

George Washington owned slaves right? Most of the founding fathers did, and in grade school, to smooth over that abuse of humanity by an American hero, we as children were told “Yes, George Washington did own slaves but he freed them when he died.” And you infer that he didn’t like slavery but it was an economic necessity.

And then you’re in your mid twenties watching a food show on Netflix and you learn that because Pennsylvania was a Quaker colony, they led the nation in emancipation and if an enslaved person was in Philadelphia for more than six months, they automatically became freed. And the young nation’s early capital was in Philadelphia, where Washington brought his household of enslaved people with him. And he took them back to Virginia every five months for a time so as to start that clock over and keep them enslaved.

There’s a trend with historians to want so badly to maintain the prestige of George Washington and an exceptional and morally pristine figure. And true, there are many instances in his writing where he sounds like his opinion on slavery as an institution is turning and that he knew slavery was wrong. But his actions. He literally had to do absolutely nothing to free his household staff, and took great pains to keep them enslaved.

It’s important to remember that too. That there were people in positions of enormous power, who know what they’re doing is wrong, and choose to do it anyway.

Do not let anyone tell you his teeth were made of wood.

I just think it’s really interesting that once I became more visibly Jewish- wearing a tichel or kippah on a daily basis, wearing my hamsa, learning Yiddish- I was immediately faced with (misdirected) transmisogyny- being called transmisogynistic specific slurs, being followed and harrassed off buses, being followed and watched in women’s bathrooms, etc.

It goes to show that transmisogynists and terfs base their ideas on what womanhood is on a white, European, racist, antisemetic, patriarchal caricature of womanhood, and not actual womanhood, which is intrisic to each women, normal or cis.

[j-uwu-ish]

Hey people w morals! Could you reblog this so I have non terfs in the notes and spread awareness? Thank you kindly!

[utopians]

with their ability to indefinitely bring your character back from death and the fact that you can replay them over and over and the ability to reload an earlier save to make a different choice this time, video games are in a unique position to do the most unintentionally hard hitting metanarrative bullshit of all time

[utopians]

like. alright so here’s the quick example that made me start thinking abt it. once you finish resident evil 8 you can play it again on new game plus mode which is basically the same except you get to keep all the weapons and stuff you got from your first run so you have em from the beginning. convenient. EXCEPT! you don’t just keep the guns. you ALSO keep the personal items you took from the characters you killed. like it’s unintentional but doesn’t that just slap your ass off a little bit? you arrive somewhere you’ve never been before, inexplicably carrying the belongings of a man you have never met, and the fact that you have them means that you have killed him and you are going to kill him again. he might as well already be dead bc he was dead from the start. and all this accidentally from a mode that lets you have better guns to kill werewolves with!

or like. games where you fuck up a dialogue choice so you reload a save and go back to try again. like haven’t we been here before! haven’t we done this before! you’ve seen the future and you didn’t like it so in an impossible act you’ve come back to make the right decision this time! like the unintentional profundity of that! like doesn’t that just kind of kill you! you’re able to go back again and again and again until you get it right and the characters that aren’t you will run through the same lines. you can kill someone and then decide that you don’t want that option and reload an earlier save, so they’re back but didn’t you kill them? and you can die and come back and it meant nothing to the story and never happened in canon but didn’t you die? idk I’m going to e3 and holding a picket sign begging someone anyone to get on this
