I think my disappointment with the tadc finale might have fucked me up so much that I split off a new alter or smth cuz now whenever I try to catch up on playing deltarune ch 5 I hear a little voice saying “theres a clear decline in the writing for this chapter.. you might as well jump ship now and spare yourself the disappointment..…” LIKE BINCH WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?? WHY ARE YOU YUCKING MY YUM THE FUCK

Every single non trans woman who proclaims to be an ally absolutely needs to be posting about how goddamn transmisogynist staff is.

Because when trans women dare to speak up for themselves, Tumblr nukes their blogs.

We need to be fucking loud about this, daily, because Tumblr staff is specifically targeting and deleting trans women who are not breaking ToS and who often have fundraisers up FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

By deleting these blogs repeatedly, Tumblr staff is saying loud and clear what they hope happens to these girls.

Are y'all okay with that? Because if not we need to be posting about it more because we have seen by now it's incredibly fucking unlikely this sites moderation will delete our blogs for it because we are not trans women

Tumblr staff and CEO Matt Mullenweg want trans women in need to not be able to post their fundraisers, meaning they are okay with these women dying.

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

[vampirebeverage]

I am fucking BEGGING transmascs (and everyone else) to not let the animosity of a VERY SMALL GROUP of very online transfems impact how you interact with transfems or think about transfems.

please, please, please remember that this "hating transmascs" and "kill all TMEs" bullshit is just a few edgy weirdos on the internet who enjoy saying inflammatory things for shock value.

transfems are not your enemy, and YES, you do actually need to unlearn transmisogyny. Not because you're transmasc, but because we live in a transmisogynistic society.

transfems are not a hivemind, there's no broader transfem consensus that transmascs are Evil Privileged Abusers, but the small group of people who think that way WANT you to believe that they are representative of trans women everywhere. they're super not. they really are just a handful of angsty people online looking for someone to pick on.

all trans people have more commonalities than differences. there aren't two distinct species of trans people from two different planets, there are just trans people with a wide diversity of experiences and walks of life. we are all affected by the same systems of oppression.

find community and mutual support with transfems. build solidarity and have conversations about how we can help each other. the only way we all get through this shit is together.

Honestly, I think the TADC finale is pretty good for what it is and has a lot of great moments, even if it was very flawed and could've been better. People who say it's the worst thing ever are honestly just mean.

Caine is 100% evil based on the info we have about him and his behaviour. But Goose and his VA and the show want to believe Caine is just a misunderstood baby. This dude:

Had their brain scans all along.

Made them bodies that mock their issues irl.

Lied about a lot of things.

Is probably the reason abstractions happen (Scratch the fist abstraction line from Kinger). Meaning he tried to mindbreak Scratch to fit his wishes.

After 20+ years with humans somehow “doesn't understand them”. He doesn't understand them but knows how to hurt them and mock their issues very well.

Named himself after the first human mortal sinner from the Bible. The fact that he named the puppet in ep 7 Abel means Caine is indeed aware of Cain and Abel. Which also means Caine is aware that he “killed” his brother, the other AI. I know Caine stands for something else, but this show is badly written and that info is on Goose's social media so it doesn't count. His name being a reference to the Bible is a meta thing that doesn't make any sense in canon and if you take this seriously then indeed Caine is aware of his actions, has killed his brother, and is a bad person but doesn't care and plays dumb. Acts like a silly willy, refusing to change anything for 20 years.

Says he wants humans to like him, yet spends all his time with Bubble instead of actually communicating with humans. Meaning he wants others to do the job while he just gets praise.

Despite there being several adventures that the characters like, Caine doesn't seem to care even though his main motive is supposedly to be valued for his adventures. Ragatha says adventures are good for humans and keep them stimulated, Jax enjoys the adventures because he can do whatever he wants during them. But for some reason Caine, “I just want people to like my adventures,” doesn't give a damn about this. Once again it's because this show and Caine's character are written badly.

In ep 8 he tortures everyone after getting a cringe personality switch. Plus in this episode Caine sings his song in which he's pretty clear about his bad actions while simultaneously torturing the characters more.

"Seems our regime has plummeting south"

"So just play the games and ignore the pains"

"Not enthused just feeling used? What a goddamn shame"

Blames innocent people for his misery.

I should also include him keeping the blue AI hostage for 20+ years just so he can achieve his goals.

Butttttt at the end he just removes the blue AI (it's not a person for some reason even though blue and red are equal in their development as we see in the first scene in episode 8), sends it to fly in the void, and comes back with a therapyspeak monologue and everyone accepts him.

Another thing that's interesting is how blue AI is his victim and it's shown as an object. This is not the first time in this show that the abuser gets sympathy and the creator wastes all time on their "development" while their victims are getting jackshit. Of course nobody hates Caine! Blue AI is just an orb it can't say anything! Good thing it's just a thing isn't it?

Yes Caine, it's good to have you back, says Zooble. Yes, this dude is redeemable! Oh the abstractions? The fact that nothing about them is resolved? They are still stuck as shallow husks of themselves after a severe mental breakdown? Everything Caine did throughout his existence? Um, who cares, he's chill now🫶 What a redemption arc. He just didn't know how to understand humans, guys😢 Good thing he randomly got WiFi and looked at their social media so he gets it now for some reason.

All of these are the consequences of Caine getting that personality switch in ep 8 just so he can have his Temu AM moment. He was such a cool reverse AM AI character who was driven by his love for humans, but then in ep 8 he just becomes evil and it's revealed he had their brain scans. He's a malicious person. But then they still redeem him. It's not even a redemption; he can't fix everything he's done, he just goes "my bad blue AI I let you go after controlling you for 20+ years! sorry guys I won't be like this again". We are supposed to think he's one of the friends now. He's having fun with them at the end too. Bruh

[stipike]

Just watched tadc the last act... and what do you mean Caine just gets emotional inteligence out of nowhere? The main thing about him is that he couldn't understand humans, no matter how much he tries, cause he is fundamentally different. He tried to figure them out for 20 years, and all it takes is a bit of a time out in the void? He isn't even emotionally aware enough to get that abstraction is a mental breakdown/suicide, he thinks it's them leaving him. He only realised in ep 8 that they actually want to leave. He would NOT randomly gain understanding, that he is in the wrong, and the main problem is the power imballance, especially since he felt like they were the ones torturing him.

[apanict]

Pomnis dumb as fuck if I watched jax bully his closest friends to death and have fantasies about my friends dying so he could torment their partner about it even abstraction wouldn't save him from my wrath. Oh I can fix you alright motherfucker

[jellyblast]

The jokes write themselves sometimes

[apanict]

Really tired of seeing people act like trans woman jax was "obvious if you have media literacy 🙄" and talking down to people who didn't get it. It wasn't obvious. It wasn't even obvious to me, a trans person who was actively looking for the signs because I already heard it was "confirmed" before seeing the last episode. It wasn't even obvious to my trans fem wife who thought they were trying to hint that he was actually a trans man considering LEEROY was presented as a man. They were extremely cowardly with the hints. The most obvious one was when jax told ribbit about his macho dad and was cagey about what he had told his mom to make her mock him. Everyone talks about the bow thing like that was great rep and not the most vague confirmation. That's not even considering the fact that "bow on head = girl" is just straight up gender essentialism.

[i-hate-that-shitty-purple-rabbit]

People have already posted this as Jax criticism but honestly it needs to be restated

[ponchcronch]

Call it disassociative identity disorder the way I say “THEY ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ME” whenever headmates do dumb shit

A Black infant was just murdered by Mississippi Police.

The news won't say the word INFANT, but I will. Kohen Kartier Wiley was 1 year old.

KOHEN KARTIER WILEY WAS ONE YEAR OLD. HE WAS A GOD DAMN BABY! AND THE POLICE KNEW!

The following is from Mississippi Free Press (links preserved; emphasis mine):

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety released a statement on June 14, alleging that the shooting happened in response to one of two subjects driving “in the direction of” officers. A clip of cellphone video obtained by Fox 13 Memphis shows a car driving away from officers, but it does not appear to show the shooting itself. A photo of the car shows multiple bullet holes in the windshield, including a bullet hole on the passenger side of the front windshield.

Notably, the DPS statement appears to acknowledge that police witnessed the presence of Kohen Wiley prior to the individuals entering their vehicle, and before the officer discharged the weapon. The officer has not been identified.

“Law enforcement officers responded to a shoplifting call at Walmart on U.S. 51. Upon arrival, officers encountered two subjects and a juvenile child fleeing from the store into a vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one,” the statement read in part. “An officer then discharged their weapon and the vehicle fled the scene. The subjects arrived at a local hospital where one juvenile child in the vehicle was pronounced deceased, and another subject had critical injuries. No law enforcement officers received any serious physical injury.”

Members of Kohen Wiley’s family have denied that any shoplifting took place. WREG reported that, before the shooting, a witness saw two women exit the store: one carrying a single box of diapers, and one carrying the infant child. Family told WREG that Kohen’s mother was riding in the passenger seat holding the child when the officer shot him and that the aunt, who was driving, was in critical condition. Another witness told the news station that she saw the car driving away with police officers chasing after it on foot just before hearing gunshots. At present, no arrests have been announced in the incident.

“Senatobia Police Department get away with too much stuff,” WREGH reported Kohen’s great-grandmother Carolyn Stokes, as saying. “I hear about it all the time. It’s in the news all the time. Y’all probably down here all the time, recording this stuff, but it’s just too much.” Members of the community plan to gather at Senatobia City Hall at 5 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon to call for accountability for Kohen Wiley’s killing.

So let me get this right: It's legal to attempt to murder two Black women for bringing their child to the store for a diaper run. It's legal to attempt to murder two Black women for trying to flee your gestapo as you harass and threaten them for a crime they did not do.

I hope the citizens of Senatobia raise holy hell for this.

Action News 5 — Wiley’s family has retained prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump to represent them.

“A 1-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot,” Crump said in a statement. “Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.”

[tacticalhimbo]

Yahoo News — In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Bridges said the boy's mother did not steal from Walmart "and was not a witness to or accomplice to any crime."

"She was skipping and playing with her child kohen to the car moments earlier not fleeing a theft," he said. "What started as an ordinary day, playing with your baby and getting into a car, turned into the worst day of a mother's life and a tragedy this community will carry for years to come."

He called on the police department to release body camera footage and store surveillance video.

NOTE: Marquell Bridges is the founder of local advocacy group Building Bridges for Community Unity and Progress. Check out the org's Facebook page [HERE]

This is what Marquell Bridges had to say in full:

The officer fired and killed 1-year-old Kohen Kartier Wiley before the car was even crunk. Release the body camera footage, dash camera footage, Walmart surveillance video, and the alleged 911 call. Justice for Kohen 💔💔

When you see the door come open, that is a young Black mother begging and pleading with police, trying to show them that her baby was in the car that her child, Kohen, was in the car an innocent life.

Kohen's mother did not steal anything and was not a witness to or accomplice to any crime. She was skipping and playing with her child kohen to the car moments earlier not fleeing a theft.

What started as an ordinary day, playing with your baby and getting into a car, turned into the worst day of a mother's life and a tragedy this community will carry for years to come.

Shame on the Sheriff's Department. Shame on Senatobia PD.

Release the body camera footage. Release the dash camera footage. Release the Walmart surveillance video. Release the alleged 911 call and transcript.

No justice, no peace. Justice for Kohen Kartier Wiley.

Marquell Bridges is currently live on his Facebook page streaming the gathering at the Walmart where the murder happened. Police have shot tear gas a the protestors as of 8:01 PM EST.

My ability to follow Bridges' posts is limited due to deleting my Facebook account, but I may make a burner to follow along and keep information surrounding this up to date.

As of posting, there does not seem to be any crowdfunding for the family at this time.

THE PRICE of PAMPERS: Police Propaganda and the Execution of Baby Kohen by Melanin Marie

This article was shared online in various places discussing the murder of Kohen Kartier Wiley, so I wanted to share it here as well. This section in particular stuck out to me, but I encourage everyone to read the full piece.

The violence against us doesn’t start when a judge bangs a gavel. The execution of our rights begins the precise second a public relations officer crafts a sterile, deceptive phrase like "officer involved shooting". They use that clinical syntax to completely erase the actor. They bury the finger that pulled the trigger. When they emphasize "shoplifting," they attempt to settle a balance sheet in the reader’s mind.

This is straight up narrative warfare. If they can brainwash the block into believing our people were wrong from the jump, they neutralize our collective rage and blunt our resistance. They transform a cold blooded street execution into a tragic consequence of "criminal behavior". We have watched this exact pattern unfold from the asphalt of Ferguson to the rural roads of Mississippi.

It is a deliberate strategy to ensure the hunter is always shielded, while the hunted are blamed for the path of the bullet.

[tacticalhimbo]

Action News 5 — The officer who slaughtered this baby remains unnamed, but was put on administrative leave.

The officer who fired the fatal shots has not been officially identified. Senatobia leaders confirmed Tuesday night that the officer has been placed on administrative leave, which is a standard practice after deadly police shootings. [...] Commissioner Sean Tindell, head of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, urged the community to be patient while his agency investigates the shooting, interviewing witnesses and reviewing body and dash cam video along with Walmart’s surveillance video. “Make no mistake… this is a very tragic situation,” Tindell said. “I want the public to be assured that the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation will conduct its independent investigation. We have five agents working on this case, gathering statements, gathering evidence.”

This is, once again, after a baby was slaughtered and the police gassed protestors. The following screenshot is taken from the moments the gas was deployed. Notice how everyone is keeping their distance from the police as is and nobody is within range for harm to be caused. The gas was deployed after a woman shouts to ask "Where your body cams at?"

Then the crowd disperses away from police and guess what! More gas is deployed.

Funny how that works (sarcastic).

Don’t let the Senatobia Police Department use the excuse ICE has been using of “but they were going to hit me, it was self defense!!” Under NO circumstances should you EVER shoot at a moving vehicle. It doesn’t matter if you’re in imminent danger, about to be run over. All that fatally wounding the driver will do is force them to collapse onto the gas and plow through anything in front of them: police, pedestrians, cars, anything. There is NO circumstance where this police officer’s decision would be justified. There’s no way to argue that this is anything but horrific police brutality.
