[fluffydeathbringer-deactivated2]

someone: maybe it’s iffy to whiteface this character explicitly representing a demographic under-represented in the medium of video games

this fuckwit, apparently: oh so you want everyone who draws mario not eating spaghetti to kill themselves? to actually engage the opposing argument instead of misrepresenting it? you unreasonable monster

i saw some anons in the DID community telling survivors they had to confess the details of abuse to their family members (ones who werent involved) and turn in their abusers, that it’s “not that difficult.”

first of all. fuck you. stop trying to force people online to do things they arent ready for or arent in a position to do.

second, let me explain why it’s not that fucking simple because

we were CHILDREN when the abuse occurred

we were threatened or intimidated into keeping abuse secret

we were taught to be ashamed if the abuse came to light

not all abuse is illegal (nothing illegal occurred in my abuse)

some survivors still are under threat of their abusers

some abusers were parts of organizations

many of us cannot prove the abuse occurred 

“but if you came forward, it would prevent it from happening to more children”

ITS. NOT. THAT. SIMPLE.

[mercury--system]

Also can I add that the process of disclosing and going to trial over an abuse case is famously gruelling for the victim. I have the utmost respect for people who can manage it or who found they didn’t have a choice but to give the information over, but I can completely understand why you wouldn’t want to.

[quinnfectious-blog]

Not just that but with DID there's usually a delayed discovery and some people don't even know many details of their own child sexual abuse, might even be unsure if it's a false memory. It's far more complicated than "just report it".

Privileged People: Make your own content.

POC: Okay, I will!

Women: So will I!

Queer People: Alright, I will!

Disabled People: I'm going to do it too

Privileged People: Wait, why doesn't this media cater to me?

[quinnfectious-blog]

Did you even read the post, you lepton? The point is that unless your blog is flagged as NSFW if you post sexual content in those tags they are visible even with safe search on. Why do you care so little about the safety and wellbeing of children?

Happy Halloween! Be Trick-or-treaters, not cultural misappropriators.

The Sociological Cinema was recently asked whether it would be racist to dress up as a Pocahontas this Halloween. The short answer is yes, dressing up like Pocahontas, or a person of any other racial minority, for Halloween is racist. Here’s why: racism is the prejudice and discrimination that creates or reinforces a hierarchical system based on race. Empirical observations reveal that in the U.S. (and in many other countries) whites hold the lion’s share of power and resources, and a broad range of institutions operate to maintain this system of white supremacy. A racist behavior is one which contributes to preserving and reinforcing the white supremacist status quo, and dressing up like Pocahontas does precisely this. Pocahontas was a real person; she is an ancestor of a People who are alive and vital today, despite being subjected to the genocidal practices of European settlers. Yet her contemporary image is little more than a white fantasy. Common depictions of her comport with white standards of beauty, she is routinely sexualized, and the clothing she is imagined to have worn is as inconsistent as the number of companies who have attempted to profit off her likeness. By wearing Pocahontas as a costume, you play a part in racially fetishizing her image, and in your own way, you reassert the idea that the symbolic representations of historically marginalized groups exist for people to manipulate, or colonize, for amusement. Your Pocahontas costume is a subtle, yet powerful, pronouncement that Native People neither control the representations of themselves nor those of their ancestors; but costume-making companies and their customers do. When you buy the Pocahontas costume—when you wear the costume—you recreate the divide between those who control the representations of themselves and those whose representations are controlled. In short, you reinforce a part of that hierarchical system based on race, and that is the definition of racist behavior.

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”

[iamthethunder]

Or “little Jonathan doesn’t talk but does a good job herding the sheep, contributes to the community in his own way, and is, all around, a decent guy.” That happened a lot, too, especially before the 19th century.

[rosslynpaladin]

Or, backing up FURTHER

and lots of people think this very likely,

“Oh little Sionnat has obviously been taken by the fairies and they’ve left us a Changeling Child who knows too much, and asks strange questions, and uses words she shouldn’t know, and watches everything with her big dark eyes, clearly a Fairy Child and not a Human Like Us.”

The Myth of the Changeling child, a human baby apparently replaced at a young age by a toddler who “suddenly” acts “strange and fey” is an almost textbook depiction of autistic children.

To this day, “autism warrior mommies” talk about autism “stealing” their “sweet normal child” and have this idea of “getting their real baby back” which (in the face of modern science)  indicates how the human psyche actually does deal with finding out their kid acts unlike what they expected.

Given this evidence, and how common we now know autism actually is, the Changeling myth is almost definitely the result of people’s confusion at the development of autistic children.

Weirdly enough, that legend is now comforting to me.

Yeah that’s why they all died at 30 because they were so unhealthy but cool

[rosietheamazon]

Pretty sure it was the plague not heart disease.

[cr1mson5thestranger]

Pretty sure it was the Plague, childbirth, food spoiling, maltreated infections, smallpox, pneumonia, and/or generally unsanitary living conditions (such as dumping sewage and waste in the streets) and not health conditions caused by excess body fat.

Not to mention that the Renaissance standard of female beauty being plumpness and full-figured forms came from the fact that it was a status symbol. Plump, pale, full-figured women were wealthy women who didn’t have to spend their days in hard labor or raising children (or both) and stood a better chance of bearing healthy babies than commoner women did.

[sofiama]

Cultural “Oh Snap” I hate it so much when people pull out the “unhealthy” excuse for having a reason to body shame a person.
