Wow that’s crazy, so brave of a take.

However:

What 'Blackfishing' means and why people do it | CNN

The term “Blackfishing” describes behavior by White people – often entertainers or social media influencers – who appear to be imitating the

Ariana Grande 'Asianfishing' Controversy Explained

The pop star's appearance in new photos has been questioned.

Ariana Grande accused of 'Asianfishing' in new photos, praised by Oli London for looking 'cute and oriental'

Ariana Grande was accused of “Asianfishing” after photos of her surfaced on the internet in which she appeared to have different facial feat

Furthermore, a girl the shade of a piece of printer paper making herself the same shade as Minaj is not simply “tanning” at that point.

And during her asianfishing arc she was almost constantly wearing an ascot very rem is corny of korean airlines uniforms.

And in the top left photo she edited out her upper eyelid so she’d look like she had a monolid. Come on now.

[santaclausdeadindian]

Okay, ngl, I am not reading those linked articles on account of the sources, mostly, also, paywall, CNN? Really?

But yes, she is clearly racebending herself, though just by looking I though she was going for a latina look, but yes, she is racebending herself.

And? Even when we just talk strictly about her skin and not all the rest of the cosmetics, what does that take away from her music or from black or asian people? Is there a quota on black or asian performers? What do the millions of asians who hypo themselves porcelain white and have surgeries and shit take away from caucasians?

I give no fuck about my colour or yours, but I do care about my nationality and if I saw some top name mimicking us I would be fuck yeah, we are in!

[is-the-owl-video-cute-deactivat]

^ guy who calls blackface “racebending” and cannot read

[kombatmutt]

w the situation about Dvcree and their friends going around, will the COD fandom finally admit that it allows these types of people (racists, homophobes, ableists, etc) to be part of the fandom on a large scale bc you refuse to call it out time and time again?

I mean this seriously, bc there's people who are pretty chummy w those types within the COD fandom, but are never called out by supposed allies; you wonder why queer people, people of colour, and neurodivergent people don't want to be in the fandom and why it's "dying", this is part of that.

supposed allies sit by idly while this behaviour continues, instead of turning around and saying "hey, that's fucked up. you're a fucking vile person." and when someone DOES directly call that person up on their abhorrent behaviour, it's always "oh, I'M the victim!! I'M the good guy here!! but what about MY feelings?", and the fandom ends up siding w these cunts.

you lot NEED to do better, you NEED to start saying "X user is racist/homophobic/ableist, and here's why", instead of just allowing it to slide and acting as if it's not an issue. bc at the end of the day, if you can't call out vile behaviour online - how do you expect to do it irl? seriously, how?

people are greatly encouraged to reblog this and to encourage others to address this behaviour.

SpaceX’s Starship Kicked Up a Dust Cloud, Leaving Texans With a Mess

Residents of Port Isabel said that their city was covered in grime following SpaceX’s rocket launch on Thursday. The city said there was no

I found the thing to dunk on Elon for regarding the rocket launch.

A lot of experts in the rocket community were questioning Elon's decision not to create a flame diverter.

For those unaware, huge rockets like this usually have giant trenches underneath to channel the flames, exhaust, and debris safely.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center has a flame trench that is 571 feet long, 58 feet wide, and 42 feet high and is built with concrete and refractory brick and bisects the pad at ground level.

But giant trenches are costly and can make working on the rocket on the launch pad inconvenient. So Elon wanted to try forgoing the flame diverter even though he was launching the largest rocket ever built with the most exhaust ever output.

And now he covered an entire town with a layer of rocket dust.

Exploding the rocket was normal and expected.

Not giving a shit about the town around the launch site... fucking infuriating.

[is-the-owl-video-cute-deactivat]

it’s also caused a large environmental impact because the rocket launched around where a large amount of birds are nesting and migrating through this time of year (it’s actually uncanny; it almost feels like he deliberately launched when there would be the most migratory birds trying to nest in the area, couldn’t do this at ANY other time of year? Really?) and it’s very likely a lot of debris and exhaust has polluted the nearby ocean on a scale that’s unheard of for something that’s a pure vanity project.

It’s fun to mock the man, but don’t forget the reason it’s ethical to make relentless jokes at his expense is that he is actively polluting both the environment and communities people are living in. For ego. I do not exaggerate in saying I really hope he dies horrifically after losing every cent to his name. He’s at least on track for the latter and if we all work hard we can make the former come true as well.

What is up with people's obsession with the kid from Ironman 3. They keep thinking he's going to return in young avengers or something as if that makes sense.

[nataliaxalianovnaxxx]

Some of you watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier and watched how Hydra was crawling around in S.H.I.E.L.D. while trying to murder millions of people, proving that authority can’t be trusted.

Then you watched Captain America: Civil War and went, “Steve isn’t following the government, he’s a criminal! He’s a hypocrite! Arrest him!” As if it hadn’t been two years since the helicarrier incident......

And then you watched Avengers: Endgame where Tony spouted off Hydra rhetoric and sat there thinking, “Yeah, this guy has a point. Who cares about anybody else’s freedom? Tony is right. Tony was right to build Ultron and help with Project Insight. Steve is such a jerk and a hypocrite for not coddling Tony in his time of need. Steve gave him a way to contact him, but he should’ve give him more.” 👀🙄

Am I the only one who sees what’s wrong here??? 🤦🏽‍♀️

[tonystarkisadouchebag]

I know I did not just see someone compare racism and transphobia to hating Tony Stark.

[tonystarkisadouchebag]

I love Tony, he's one of my favs but I'm not here as a Tony stan to tell you that your opinion is wrong and change your mind. As I said, that's your opinion and I validate it. Now, what I did come here is to show my point of view in his character in Iron Man. Obviously if you don't want to read it, that's fine by me, but at least I know I wrote it.

I'd like to point out that Stark's Industry began with Howard in WWII. Shit happened, the war was finished yada yada yada. Then, Tony is born. Throughout the movies, we see that Howards was an asshole. Sure, he left clues and had a plan for Tony in the future, but that does not account for the trauma he gave Tony. Howard had Tony in the spotlight since he was a toddler and forced him to graduate high school and enter MIT by the time he was 15. Tony never had a normal childhood and I am sure Howard couldn't have cared less.

Anyways, the stress of being good enough for his father caught up to him and he began drinking. He began having one night stands yada yada yada. I think we all know what Tony did in his early 20's up to his late 30's.

I don't particularly fault him for not knowing what exactly happens with his weapons. Tony NEVER should have been CEO. Not because he's incapable of –he's got the smarts to do so– but because he was never into that world. It was thrown at him. His father threw that at him.

In Iron Man, Tony was a complete mess. I will say that. But, Obadiah did not help the case. The older man would manipulate him. He'd do the same Howard did. Make Tony do shit for the public but keep him in the blanc on what was happening.

I am sure Tony did not know for what exactly they were being used. He knew they were weapons, he knew they caused harm, but Obadiah and his father created an image in his mind that the weapons were used for peace. Obviously it's stupid, I won't fight you and tell you that poor Tony he did not realize :c. No. He is an idiot for not realizing. But I do think the alcohol he drank to drown out everything had something to do with that.

Anyways, it was while being kidnapped that he saw the truth about his weapons. On one point, he was right in the middle of a terrorist base. The other point is that he was sober. Without those shits in his mind and being in the other side of everything, he realized what was really happening.

The moment he realized this, he stopped everything. He stayed in touch with news of what had been happening on Afghanistan. He built the Iron Man suit and went there to release the people there.

Then the rest of the movie.

I will not say that Tony is not at fault. I will not say that he is free from everything that went down. But I will say that he is not completely the only one at fault for his weapons.

Another point I wanted to add since I was scrolling through your blog:

I agree with you that it is completely wrong and stupid to say that Tony was being used for his money. He was not. As you said, it is mentioned in TFATWS that they weren't getting payed. Thing is. While he did not pay them, they were not completely on the ruins.

Tony built the Avenger's compound, gave them somewhere to live and provided them with basic human needs. He might have not payed them, but he did care for them to do that for them.

Still, that does not mean that the others used him for money. I honestly hate when ppl say that.

[tonystarkisadouchebag]

You inspired me to come back to this and I'm screaming. It's basically "but he hwas twama 👉👈"

Also, I find it funny that anon says Tony was thrust into the position of CEO and he was not prepared to take on the responsibility. Maybe if he didn't want to be complicit in war crimes he shouldn't have accepted being a CEO of a weapons company. But he couldn't give up the money or status, could he?

[shit-mcu-stans-write]

so the whole thing about howard never caring about stark confuses me because the thing most stans point to as evidence is this scene in iron man 2:

start at 0:38

and it's like,, yeah, he definitely could've been nicer. then again, he's in the middle of filming a promotion for stark expo. he's working

unless i'm forgetting something (completely possible), this is the only time we see howard being dismissive to/of stark

forced him to graduate high school and enter MIT by the time he was 15

there's no evidence that howard forced him into graduating early. he was definitely helped, but i wouldn't say he was forced. and given that stark attended a guest lecture at mit and made all the students equal recipients of a grant that gave them funding for their projects [x], i wouldn't say he was forced to go to mit

[Obadiah] would manipulate him. He'd do the same Howard did. Make Tony do shit for the public but keep him in the blanc [sic] on what was happening

again, when did howard manipulate stark? also, you can't blame this solely on obadiah. stark was the ceo, not obadiah. if you're the ceo of a major company that makes weapons, you need to know what's going on

The moment he realized this, he stopped [the weapons manufacturing division]

technically he did not. he shut down the weapons manufacturing division "until [he would be able to] decide what the future of the company will be." [x] he continued creating weapons, both for shield, himself, and for a fifteen year old boy

Tony built the Avenger's compound, gave them somewhere to live and provided them with basic human needs

i think a lot of tony stans seem to confuse fanon with canon here. the avengers compound was never meant to be a home/some place to live until after civil war. it was made to be the primary base of operations, a training facility, and a research center [x] and after the dissolution of the avengers, stark had it remodeled so he could live there

"basic human needs"? you sure? he imprisoned wanda at the compound

[shit-mcu-stans-write]

forever bitter at marvel for making civil war a captain america movie instead of an avengers movie

how funny! chris evans got 38:15 of screen time and rdj got 37:15 (source), which means that captain america (you know, the main character?) got just one minute more than iron man. i’d argue that cacw is an avengers movie and now we’ll never get a real cap 3

“difference in ideals”

tf you mean “difference in ideals”. one side was fighting for human rights and the other against. interestingly, all the people on the side of the accords (stark, rhodey, and vision) (not including natasha because she backed out or peter because i honestly don’t think he even knew what he was fighting for or t’challa because he only seemed to be fighting bucky) wouldn’t’ve had all their rights taken away. those with innate powers had to wear tracking bracelets at all times (x), something stark, rhodey, and vision wouldn’t need to worry about

as opposed to tony who was clearly villainized

was he, though? given how a lot of folks stans reacted to that movie, i’d say that cap was the one villainized. there’s a lot more team iron man than team cap, is all i’m saying

the avengers need regulations and accountability

maybe so, but the sokovia accords aren’t the way to go! they didn’t actually pass in the un so the avengers should not have been forced to sign, they’re a violation of more than one amendment, a violation of human rights, and do we really want a government in charge of superheroes, especially when we know that hydra was able to infiltrate shield? (x, x, x)

cacw could’ve been a perfectly good movie if steve had fought the government directly without the need to paint tony rhodey natasha etcetc as villains

funny that. for one thing, politicians don’t physically fight. if you wanted to see steve directly fight the government, as in, fight politicians, it wouldn’t have been a superhero movie. it would’ve been two hours of steve et al petitioning, lobbying, etc. for another, he was “directly fighting the government”. stark was on the side of the government

[irljeangrey]

like at least the MCU is getting one thing right:

tony stark is literally hubris personified

like only tony would look at the horrific failures that were vanko/hammer and project insight and go

‘well obviously i am the smartest so it won’t go wrong THIS time’

ok tony

[mmjjkknnoo-deactivated20240218]

I think it’s funny that RDJ obviously didn’t get that Tony was a twat from start to finish. And if he identifies so much with Tony, that might not be a good thing.

Also if there is another thing the MCU gets right, it’s that people who think they are smarter than the average person repeat the biggest mistakes in history. Only in a bigger, more disastrous way.

[tonystarkisadouchebag]

Tony stark be like: wow I've finally realised weapons are evil.... any way, now I'm gonna make even more weapons but keep it all to myself and this private organization no one knows about. I'm sure they won't fall into the wrong hands again.

if you choose to take this post personally that's not my problem and i will probably make fun of you

not me thinking that since there were six infinity stones and six original avengers they were going to make that symbolism a plot point in endgame
