Crazy, right?

All the random crazy shit you'd expect...

X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get X-Men.

Black Panther is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Black Panther.

Captain America literally fought Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the alt-right. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Captain America.

The Empire in Star Wars is fascist. The Rebel alliance are Anti-Fascist. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Star Wars.

The Punisher isn’t meant to be a role model for police or armed forces. So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get The Punisher.

Deadpool is queer. He’s pansexual. Fact. If you didn’t get that you didn’t get Deadpool.

Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women’s right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances and working together for peace. (It’s also anti-capitalist and pro-vegan). If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Star Trek.

Superman and Supergirl (and a whole host of other superheroes) are immigrants. The stance of those comics is pro-immigration and pro-equality and acceptance. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Superman or Supergirl.

Stan Lee said “Racism and bigotry are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today.” If you’re bigoted or racist, you didn’t get any of the characters Stan Lee created.

The stories we grew up with all taught us to value other people and cultures and to treasure the differences between us. Only villains were xenophobic, or sexist, or racist, or totalitarian. I can’t understand how anyone can have missed that.

If you’re upset that there’s a black Spider-Man, or a black Captain America, or a female Thor, or that Ms Marvel is Muslim, or that Captain Marvel was pro-feminism, or any of the other things right wing “fans” say is “stealing their childhood” - you never got it in the first place. The things you claim are now “pandering to the lefties” were never on your side to begin with.

If you consider yourself a fan of these things, but you still think the LGBTQ+ community is too “in your face”, or have a problem with Black Lives Matter, or want to “take the country back from immigrants”, then you’re not really a fan at all.

Geek culture isn’t suddenly left wing... it always was. You just grew up to be intolerant. You became the villain in the stories you used to love.

Bitch I'm gay. I totally did not.

You keep saying encantos are a big part of Columbian culture. What does that mean? I love to learn about new cultures and when you said that it immediately got me interested. But I have no idea what I'm looking for here. Google is no help, it only shows stuff about the movie. Could you like brief me about what you know and where I might find more information?

Sure! I'll copy/paste what I added to that original where I was talking about it, because it's very important to me that people know this.

I’m going to copy what it says in The Art of Encanto directly:

Throughout Latin America, there are many cultural ideas alluding to magic existing among ordinary things. One of those is the notion of “Encantos,” places in nature filled with enchantment. “In Colombia, we are surrounded by sacred lands that feel magical, and we coexist with them, not questioning their existence,” says guide Alejandra Espinosa. With this in mind, the filmmakers crafted the idea of a house and town that magically emerges from the earth as the response to a prayer made in a moment of desperation.

This sense of magic often comes from pain in Colombian magical realist literature. “I knew that many people from Colombia and Latin America identify with the idea of being displaced from their home town, so telling the tale with aspects of magical realism felt right for Abuela Alma’s backstory. The land grants her a miracle when she begs for a way to escape the violence,” says Co-Director Charise Castro Smith.

“In Barichara some people told us stories of magic – we heard about a person walking in a secret forest and seeing a glowing light that led them to a talking snakes, the guardian of this freshwater well. These stories were told in a way that is very matter of fact, where magic is normal and real.” – Jared Bush, Director

So, as you can see, in Colombian culture, magic is everywhere in nature. It’s something that’s real, that just exists, and its existence isn’t a surprise to people. Trying to say that it’s the same kind of fairytale magic that exists in the tale of Tangled really takes away the cultural aspect of everyone in Colombia coexisting with natural magic, which imbues the entire land. It was the land itself that gave Abuela Alma the miracle, not some celestial happenstance.

They’re sooooo unprofessional.

And they have the nerve to charge you for a deposit or a late fee but they be late as fuck to the appointment and not you.

@ songs that make me feel both slutty and powerful, thank you

Working night shift at Youhop lady comes in, she's just mad, I can see it in her eyes. I don't mind, I smile take her order, get her food. Tell her I'm gonna transfer her table to another waitress and then she can stay as long as she wants because I have to leave soon. NAH. She throws a tantrum like she's being kicked out (she wasn't) and today she calls again and screams at me because the manager she wants to talk to isn't at the store. Anyway, she calls the corporate office and makes a big ol' scene because she was "so upset" we kicked her out and she not only wants a refund but "collateral" and I'm just like, HOW TF YOU GONNA ASK FOR COLLATERAL FOR SOME FRICKIN PANCAKES? WTF. TOP 5 Worst Karen I've ever had to deal with.

🍄 dear customers, please stop walking into the employees only areas. similarly, don’t get mad at me when I tell you to get out.

one guy walked in the warehouse from a side entrance and tried asking me questions and got mad when I chased him out and wouldn’t answer any of his questions until he was outside.

if the sign says employees only, if employees tell you not to go past a certain point, if employees are telling you to get out of employee only areas, just listen and don’t get mad! children follow directions better than some of these adults.

Tell them if the get hurt in the back they won’t be able to sue as they aren’t allowed back there. Some will hurry mack to the sales floor.

“Aha! I have foiled your evil plan! Now the restaurant will be sa— wait, is this that place that fired Hannah?”

“Yeah, and they were all dicks to her about it.”

“Oh, right. Well… guess I can let you destroy it a little.”

“I’ve defeated you! Now tell me where you’ve taken Matt!”

“What? MATT’S MISSING?”

“Wait. You’re not the one who trashed his apartment?”

“For God’s sake, Caroline, you should’ve just texted me about this. Gimme my phone, I gotta make some calls.”

The sum of these posts makes it look like they have multiple friends in common, and I’m wondering what the group chat is like.
