To whom it may concern:

I hope your era of "disappointed, but not surprised" will soon come to a close, and for it to be replaced with a long span of "surprised, but not disappointed."

Do non Brazilians/Filipinos know about Brazilippines…. Brazilians and Filipinos randomly decided that we were two sides of the same coin and have now become besties

[ryan-sometimes]

As a Brazilian, let me try to explain the origins of Brazilippines:

Brazil and the Philippines are often seen as the “black sheep” of their continents. Like most of Latin America, the Philippines was colonized by Spain for centuries, which is a unique experience for them to have within Asia. This makes the Philippines not only “different” within Asia, but have more similarities with Latino culture than most Asian countries.

Brazil on the other hand is by far the most Asian country in Latin America, as there are millions of Brazilians today of Asian descent due to a large migration from Japan and China in the early 20th century. Asian culture is quite embedded into Brazilian culture, and Brazil is actually home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.

The Philippines is the most Latino Asian country. Brazil is the most Asian Latino country.

Brazil is also rather isolated from the rest of Latin America due to us being the only Portuguese speaking country, while the vast majority of other Latinos speak Spanish. From what I’ve gathered, Filipinos also feel isolated within Asia.

Also, Brazil and the Philippines both have extremely vibrant, albeit chaotic gay culture. Gay people in Brazil dominate dodgeball, while Filipino gays dominate volleyball. Gay fandom culture in Brazil and the Philippines are both absolutely feral. Both countries seem to produce endless amounts of funny gay people.

As a Brazilian, I have an uncanny ability to see any online video and know it was taken in Brazil just from vibes. I’m usually right. However, every single time I’ve been wrong, the video was actually from the Philippines. Every. single. time. The vibes of the Philippines are so similar to Brazil that unless I can hear people speaking Tagalog in a video, I often mistake Filipino viral videos as being Brazilian.

I would love to hear more opinions on this, but Deadpool Wolverine did come off as homophobic to me.

To clarify, it seems like Ryan Reynolds is an ally and I don't think any of it was malicious but there were some concerning trends.

For one, Deadpool has never, even in the comics, had a romantic relationship with a man. Only recently has he dated a nonbinary character, which is a good step, but he had been pan for a while with his attraction to men merely being a joke.

The other thing that bothered me was the amount of "woke mob" jokes, it got to the point where it was excessive and made me question the director/script writer's politics.

Thirdly, while this movie is being called a gay masterpiece by some (eye roll), the only gay rep were punchlines. The scene where Deadpool goes on and on about sexual positions with the TVA specifically seemed like the joke was emasculating men who bottom. Let's remember that this is written by straight men, not queer people in on a joke.

Treat your kids like human beings

[putri900]

I know its the internet but damn do some people on here just not get tired of being so morally repugnant that theyd have a maggot puke

[putri900]

I find it so strange that ive seen several posts about how anti zionism is ACTUALLY anti semitism when that is the line run by all the pro genocide politicians and demagogues world wide.

But that isnt all at all.

Zionism isnt as an ideology in my opinion is flawed, but not necessarily evil. What IS evil is when your state for supposed comfort of a persecuted people is created on top of the bodies of others. It isnt a liberating state when its premise is on squashing and marginalizing another group. The Palestinians.

I couldn't go back to my country of ethnic origin and kick out those who are now on what was historically my land-- because thats immoral. Inhumane. But thats all of Israel. And this genocide is an extension of that by settlers who believe they have more right to the land than anyone whose already living there.

Theres no denying that there are anti zionists who are just anti semitic. But open your eyes to the current reality. My opinion that the Palestinians shouldnt have faced these decades of brutal torture, murder, and marginalization isnt about Jews whatsoever. Its about being against the fascist desire in humans to kill and destroy other groups.

Lets not forget that Israel was a promise by the British. And since when have they been moral in this? This is fundamentally something that is not about liberation.

[outandloud]

Wow you are an oblivious moron. The most genocidal people never were zionist and saying that just shows you get an f in history the only people you think are genocidal are western powers you claim are genocidal. Stfu about so called oppression of Palestinians when their charter wants to genoc8de jews and project to get sympathy from stooges like you.

[putri900]

pray tell how Biden, who is a zionist, isnt genocidal in his funding of Israel who is bombing Gaza until it is but rubble. And the other zionist politicians, who see Palestinians as less than human and thus a non issue.

Anyway, go fuck yourself if you think an IDEA is worse than the ACTION of genocide. The Palestinians were being oppressed by Israel for so long that of course theyre gonna form bad ideas about them. But you know what? Israel has the power to KILL, MURDER, AND STARVE, them all, and Palestinians dont. And israel is doing it! Not jusy thinking it!

Anyway, goodbye you immoral piece of shit, i hope you sleep tight being more concerned about the cozy asses of the Israelis enacting the most brutal mass slaughter since the holocaust. Yes i mean it.

[outandloud]

Here is what some of your fellow anti zionist are attracting

[putri900]

Generalizing about what some random anti zionists 'want to do' is so silly when the state youre riding for is enacting the systemic mass murder, starvation, torture, and yes, also rape of Palestinians right now, currently.

Why do you make it so easy for me? Is it the moral bankruptcy that makes you braindead too?

If you're struggling to write sex, write food. if you're struggling to write food, write gore. if you're struggling to write gore, write sex. They're all variations on the same themes.

[puppygirllaika]

it's all sensation and consumption and intimacy. it's all violence and beauty and taste. it's all wild and animalistic and elevated by our humanity. it's all deeply cultural and symbolic. it's all enjoyed by every sense the body has to offer.

[puppygirllaika]

"copper syrup drenched her tongue as she dug into its flesh" can be the act of eating pussy, biting through skin, or eating a piece of fruit.

[puppygirllaika]

people keep adding notes to this like "careful, you might end up writing cannibalism" as if this is not from the cannibalism-enjoyer blog.

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.

“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?

Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.

Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.

[deandraxon]

Thank you to the person who brought this post back into my notifs because I just recently got a new pair of glasses!

And it only cost me $305!! What a steal!! A perfectly acceptable price to pay to be able to properly function in society! (Internal screaming)

[antiterfbutch]

Please always remember that glasses are a disability aid. Some of us literally cannot function without them.

[moofahdrome]

A tip to those with glasses - 39DollarGlasses is a really useful site for ordering new ones if you already know your prescription! Every pair they sell is $39 USD, which is LEAGUES cheaper than the glasses I've had to buy from eye doctors, plus they've got more styles than most clinics too!

I don't know if this will help everyone who needs a new pair, but it was a lifesaver when a friend recommended it to me. Check it out if you can!
