Please read 28th amendment

Please Read, and forward. This will only take 1 minute to read!

28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting.

It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It’s an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation:

OUR PRESENT SITUATION !

Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.

Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.

Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.

Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live.

For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.

And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.

We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law.

I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states.It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States …”

This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party.

Congressional Reform Act of 2017

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office. And, no more perks go with them.

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor and privledge NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies.

Just hold your finger down then hit forward and send it to everyone you know. Let’s help get the country straightened out.

If you actually think Vinny would talk like this you’re a fool. 

People have compared this garbage to actual emails that Vinny’s sent to them and noticed there’s some serious discrepancies between this shit he allegedly sent to somebody and how he actually fucking talks to people and the gist is: >Vinny uses proper syntax

>Vinny doesn’t riddle his speech with zoomer slang, emojis or his own fucking memes outside of his streams

>That email address isn’t Vinny’s actual email, but the Vinesauce Help contact that he wouldn’t and HASN’T used for personal correspondence 

>Vinny only answers emails on Sunday and has done so since 2012, and this supposed email was sent on a Friday

So there’s like an almost total guarantee that this shit is fake, especially if you check the links provided. 

How many times do we have to have the “We investigate crimes like Rape for a REASON” and “Yes, False accusations DO exist and they accomplish nothing except harming ACTUAL Rape victims because it causes people to not take allegations seriously” conversations until you learn the fucking message, Tumblr?

By the way the account that presented the “””Evidence””” was made in the last two days lmao

[takashi0]

OH FUCKING GEE, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT:

If for whatever reason you need more evidence that Booti's innocent he was live on stream playing Secret of Mana and Kirby Star allies when the emails were supposedly sent

'Mafia tactics' or 'legitimate' demands? NuLu businesses respond to protesters

While some NuLu business owners have agreed to sign a contract with Black Lives Matter protesters, others have taken offense.

This has gone from bad to worse.

Some BLM members are engaging in full-on racketeering. The letter is here. They are sending out demands to businesses to hire a certain amount of black people, donate to black owned businesses, and proudly display they support BLM, or they will face “repercussions of noncompliance.”

Yeah, see, we’re a part of an organization that helps people, and we need your support. That’s a nice business you have there.

It would be a shame if someone… “protested” you.

[whiskey-gunpowder]

yes, you read that orwelian propaganda correctly. The Party™ can never be responsible for anything.

shhhh you can’t post this, think of the narrative!

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

as far as I can tell from what BLM activists and supporters say, this is a GOOD thing, which makes me sick

[twerkcircus]

White people love pulling that “Africans had slaves TOO!!!” And “slavery is still legal in Africa!!!1!1!” Card as if they have any fucking idea what they’re talking about

[smallblueangel-deactivated20170]

They are right though. In other countries they still have slavery

[twerkcircus]

African!!!!! Slavery!!!!! Isn’t!!!!!! Slavery!!!!!! Read a damn book!!!!!

[gservator]

So when an African enslaves any race it’s not slavery to you and therefore acceptable?

Yet it’s Slavery when any other race does it?

[twerkcircus]

I’ll copy and paste it for you too you dense ass eggshell colored bitch!!!!

Alright here’s a history lesson you won’t learn in school:

Most African economies were barter economies, or trade based economies. Because of this, being “paid” for labor is hard, because it’s much easier to make one large trade than lots of smaller trades. Therefore, rather than making many smaller trades to pay people for their labor, they would just make one large trade that would allow them to “own” the person for their labor, because (again) it was easier. That’s where the idea of “slavery” in other countries comes from.

This type of “slavery” is completely different because in 99% of situations, these “slaves” were treated exactly the same as everyone else, they still had all or most of their rights, and they were likely to be free again in their lifetime. It was never malicious, it was just the easiest way for trade-based economies to function. This is still common in trade-based economies because that’s what fucking works.

Bonus fact: over the course of about 1,000 years, only about 10,000 slaves were traded throughout all of North Africa and the Mediterranean. Europeans traded 12 million+ African slaves in 1/10 of that time.

You can’t equate what barter economies do in any way to European slavery because white people built their entire economies around keeping black people on the bottom. Africans were starved, whipped, raped, and worked to death. Sick slaves on ships were thrown overboard, still in chains. Slave ships were so unsanitary that they could be smelled from miles away. They were given no rights and had no way of earning freedom. They were viewed as animals. They were branded by their owners. After slavery was outlawed, the Spanish and the Portuguese continued to conduct “slave raids” where they would show up on the central west coast and invade villages, stealing people away from their homes and shipping them to the Americas. 
Tell me again how the two are in any way similar

[gservator]

“you dense ass eggshell colored bitch!!!!“

Actually I am more of a Creamy Olive but I surmise that that was meant to be an insult, cunt.

“Alright here’s a history lesson you won’t learn in school:”

No, I learned it unlike American Schools we have competent curriculum’s here.

“That’s where the idea of “slavery” in other countries comes from.”

Again, no Slavery comes from the Cradle of Civilization itself Mesopotamia.

Slavery, unlike today, was very prevalent and popular in ancient cultures and is very evident in the Mesopotamian society. The civilization which was known for its advancements in all the fields of livelihood was actually a primitive somewhat semi barbarian civilization.Slavery existed and loomed large all across Mesopotamia. Here are details.

In ancient times, crimes such as assaulting one’s elder brother or mother were punished by subjecting to slavery. Thus, slaves were mostly obtained from war captives and criminals. Slaves were made to wear skirts made of cloth that were tied along their waist, extending up to their knees and as long as the owner so desired.

It is widely believed that slavery came into being as a major institution with the development of agriculture, sometime around 10000BC. In ancient Mesopotamia as agriculture required labour, slavery was seen as a profitable way of exploiting war captives, warriors and civilians.

In ancient Mesopotamia Slavery was used to pay off debt and as chattel.

This Slavery has existed for tens of thousands of years far before Modern Europeans took African Slaves, but before Europeans took slaves the Arabs took slaves from Europe, Asia and Africa this was the Barbary Slave Trade it lasted Longer than the Atlantic Slave Trade and Still continues to this day, where is your outrage?

Europeans Ended Slavery in the West yet you are still whining.

“Bonus fact: over the course of about 1,000 years, only about 10,000 slaves were traded throughout all of North Africa and the Mediterranean. Europeans traded 12 million+ African slaves in 1/10 of that time.”

Bonus Fact: The Barbary Slave Trade Enslaved 1.25 million Europeans [these numbers do not include the European people which were enslaved by Morocco and by other raiders and traders of the Mediterranean Sea coast which is estimated 4x higher]  700 Americans were also made slaves, along with millions of Asians, Africans and Middle Easterners, the Time frame of this is for Europeans from  1450 - 1812 that is 362 Years, the Arab/Muslim/Barbary Slave Trade continues to this day with an estimated 30 million still in slavery in the Middle East and Africa.

Where is your Outrage?

You are Outraged that Europeans Enslaved Africans because you Harbour a racial Hatred towards Europeans, you are Racist.

Chattel Slavery in-case you didn’t know was introduced when a Black Man won life ownership over his Slaves in the US his name was “Antonio the negro“ or Anthony Johnson as he changed his name to, 

He was brought to the colony in 1621. At this time, English and Colonial law did not define racial slavery; the census calls him not a slave but a “servant.” Later, Antonio changed his name to Anthony Johnson, married an African American servant named Mary, and they had four children. Mary and Anthony also became free, and he soon owned land and cattle and even indentured servants of his own.

n 1651 he owned 250 acres (100 ha), and the services of five indentured servants (four white and one black). In 1653, John Casor, a black indentured servant whose contract Johnson appeared to have bought in the early 1640s, approached Captain Goldsmith, claiming his indenture had expired seven years earlier and that he was being held illegally by Johnson. A neighbour, Robert Parker, intervened and persuaded Johnson to free Casor.

Parker offered Casor work, and he signed a term of indenture to the planter. Johnson sued Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654 for the return of Casor. The court initially found in favour of Parker, but Johnson appealed. In 1655, the court reversed its ruling. Finding that Anthony Johnson still “owned” John Casor, the court ordered that he be returned with the court dues paid by Robert Parker.

his was the first instance of a judicial determination in the Thirteen Colonies holding that a person who had committed no crime could be held in servitude for life.

Before this instance Chattel Slavery was not practiced in North America, the type of Slavery Practiced was the barter or servant Slavery you mention, people could earn their Freedom and be Acknowledged as Free Englishmen and could own Land and Slaves of their own.

Good Day.

[qu0-remade-deactivated20190116]

If you think slavery is acceptable purely because of their skin colour, you are disgusting and racist.

[twerkcircus]

Yeah you’re right I am racist and I hate all white people thanks for noticing

[skypig357]

So you’re racist as well as ignorant. No surprise there

Slavery still exists in Africa. Today.

And the slaves that were sold to the Americas were not the barter economy bullshit you’re selling. They were Africans sold by Africans. That doesn’t absolve the Americas, both north and south, from their responsibility, but this narrative that white folk were mainly getting slaves by raiding is simply inaccurate. The slaves were already there, sacked up and awaiting purchase.

Yeah kid, you’re making shit up. And a fucking racist too. Go fuck yourself bloody you piece of shit

[thespectacularspider-girl]

Well, at the very least she admitted she’s racist and didn’t pull the whole ‘I can’t be racist because I’m black’ bullshit.  Small mercy, low bar, I suppose.

OP is selfish, ignorant and a sack of garbage.  She cares more about blaming white people than caring about ongoing slavery today.  She doesn’t care about slavery, she cares about blaming white people.

The absolute irony being that white people actually abolished slavery while several African and Middle Eastern nations have just happily continued the practice.

[mageknight14]

@twerkcircus is another Tumblr racist. What else is new when it comes to this site?

[siryouarebeingmocked]

I love these threads where OP deactivated so they can’t block anyone.

[buuuluska]

Lolol

[nunyabizni]

That number about slaves from north Africa and the Med is so wrong it hurts. The bulk of the Ottoman army was made up of jannisaries which were christian children stolen from their homes, forcibly converted to Islam, and made to fight for the empire. Also conveniently ignores the slaves they had rowing their galleys both merchant and war, worked to death or near death but hey if you were lucky enough to be in one of the war ones that sank you were still chained to your bench, gotta pray for capture there. Oh and they are 100% buying and selling black Africans in Libya today for less than the going rate was in the US, not adjusted for inflation, you know like 200 bucks. But ya know whippo are still the big problem some how.

Gotta wonder if the OP was them just begging to get a smackdown or not

[belles--rose]

Imagine unironically saying “slavery is good when it’s not being perpetuated by white people” and not thinking you come off as a massive fucking racist.

[hominishostilis]

After seeing post after post regarding the shootings lately, I would love for anti-gunners to reconcile some key beliefs for me

1) That the sitting president is a racist who secretly or not so secretly supports white supremacist terrorists

2) That this racist administration should be in charge of enacting tighter laws restricting gun rights

3) That magically the racist, white supremacist administration will fairly and ethically enact these laws, in no way harming the minorities they’re racist against because The Government Wouldn’t Do That

4) The police are racist too

5) But the police will be more than enough to protect the civilian population if guns are banned/highly restricted

And let’s not forget,

6) Millions of racists voted for trump and they’re really just ticking time bombs waiting for an excuse to kill people.

Because what I’m hearing is that top to bottom the federal government is racist and corrupt, but also they should be in charge of mass disarmament that will in no way be colored by racism or corruption…and that there are millions of murderous racists out there just waiting to snap and shoot up the nearest McDonald’s playplace full of brown children.

Throw me a bone here

[cookingwithroxy]

Thing is, this double standard really is easy to explain as long as you recognize one trait.

Even when they are arguing that they are a victimized, oppressed minority hated by the system, they never see themselves as anything other than being the people in power.

To use their own terms, their unconscious assumption of privilege is so great that they never leave the mentality that they are to be obeyed at all times.

[greater-than-the-sword]

That’s exactly what I was going to say. Liberals don’t realize the dissonance, because in their mind they still own the establishment, and even if they lost some of it, they expect to get it back in 2020.

[takashi0]

People: Saying Black Lives Matter just means you care about black people!

The same people: Saying All Lives Matter means you DON’T care about black people!

[mchaccino]

I mean yeah if you ignore the context an 8 year old could understand you could read it that way. But as most things nothing is in a vacuum.

All lives matter(in this context) is not a term on its own, its a *response* to BLM. To say all lives matter in response to a group of people talking about their specific issues is deflective and dismissive. This is literally like the kid who gets upset on someone elses birthday.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

And yet the exact same people demand that everyone take BLM entirely literally, and ignore the context, as Takashi pointed out.

(Even though it’s not even an accurate name.)

Looks like you’re the one who missed the point.

[takashi0]

I didn’t, that’s the result of tumblr glitching out and putting my name over SYABM’s url.

[unhappy-opinions]

So, was it also “deflective and dismissive” when BLM crashed a Pulse Shooting memorial, where LGBT Latinos were murdered, and told them to shut up and focus on black people? Was it “deflective and dismissive” when BLM accused people murdered in Nice of “stealing attention”? Was it “deflective and dismissive” when BLM demanded that Mexicans “wait their turn” to talk about problems in their country? Is it “deflective and dismissive” when BLM feels the need to slap their hashtag onto everything from trans issues to autistic issues? Is it “deflective and dismissive” when BLM appropriates LGBT issues to talk about themselves? Is it “deflective and dismissive” when BLM demands everyone pay attention to them, hijacking memorial after memorial, event after event, tragedy after tragedy to either say “pay attention to us” or “well I don’t see any ALM people talking about this” or to just flat out make it about themselves? As they have done over and over and over again? Is it “deflective and dismissive” to demand that you get your own special little hashtag that no one else gets to imitate? And is it “deflective and dismissive” that BLM has taken police brutality, an issue that affects LGBT, mentally ill, mentally disabled, other minority races, and just flat out everyone below a certain wealth threshold and made it exclusively a black issue? Is all of that “deflective and dismissive” or does everyone else just need to “wait their turn” some more?

Hey how much water is in cum

This is important

[haltyoubillowychickenwing]

well okay... 

the average load is about 3mL 

cum is >5% clear mucous 

clear mucous is approx 95% water

so um uhh

about 0.15mL per load.

[guiltiest-gear]

So that means a water bender could bend cum

[ace-pervert]

Yes and in theory makes testicles rupture

[guiltiest-gear]

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

[joshscorcher]

You ever considered the fact that peaceful protest didn't work and that why we've reached this point

STOP. MAKING. EXCUSES. FOR. LOOTING. BURNING. AND. MOB. VIOLENCE.

Ignoring the fact that the outrage went from 0 to 11 almost overnight, the people who have been burning things are responsible for THEIR OWN ACTIONS! Even if arguendo that they are not responsible for their own choices, THEY’RE BURNING DOWN INNOCENT PEOPLE’S BUSINESSES AND LIVELIHOODS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. What sense is there when a guy tries to rob and destroy the business of black small business owners to protest injustices against black people?!

I don’t think it’s a good idea to encourage/justify people GROUPING UP and DESTROYING PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS! That’s literally BARBARISM!

Even if arguendo we ignore all of that and want to blame “peaceful protests not working,” in the 60′s black people couldn’t even VOTE and had to use separate entrances, and MLK STILL INSISTED on peaceful protests AND IT WORKED, and you’re trying to sell me this BS “peaceful protests don’t work?” Break open a history book, Sophocles!

Even if I’m spewing out bulls**t right now and in the unlikely event you’re completely 100% right, CAN WE AT LEAST PUT OUT THE FIRES FIRST, CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT?!?!?!

[joshscorcher]

@solodemon99​ Don’t hide in the replies. It makes you look like an intellectual coward.

And what a surprise! You cherrypicked a quote to suit your narrative! Imagine my shock! Here’s the FULL quote:

“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Oh, would you look at that? This appears to be a segment of a much longer speech that actually CONDEMNS riots! Boy howdy, it’s amazing what happens when you read things other than cherrypicked quotes! Yes, MLK is asking what led to this and condemning that as well. That’s a conversation that can happen! BUT DURING THE REST OF THE SPEECH HE IS ALSO MAKING IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR HE NOT SUPPORTING THESE RIOTS! Everyone I know who condemns these riots is also condemning the Police Officer that did this and is asking for that department to get investigated, even BEFORE the riots even started! So that makes these riots ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS.

And let me throw another one of his quotes your way because you obviously don’t care to look up the stuff that conflicts with your worldviews:

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

― Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1964 

[eris-haumea]

How the whole show started

[ohnosbros]

LITERALLY I also highly recommend lily orchard’s video deconstruction of SU which explain why the whole show is not as good of a show people like to think it is. Plus shes a trans content creator/artist !

[lancer-blaster-deactivated20191]

Citing Lily orchard, who thinks that family Guy had better LGBT rep than Steven universe, is a massive L

[physalidae]

citing lily orchard, who wrote a futa pedo fic with mlp characters,

[deceseze]

citing lily orchard, who does no research into how the animation industry works and calls a jewish woman a nazi,

[hellfirecomms]

Surprise! Trans content creators can be just as awful as many CIS ones can be. Please stop using this as some sort of defense. Lily Orchard isn’t special and her “takes” are literally garbage.

[takashi0]

Citing Lily Orchard, who ragequit the brony community because people refused to play along with her blatant abuse of her now ex-friends, ruined an attempt to bring a known pedophile to justice out of a petty grudge against the people behind the plan that included the said friends she abused, and tries to smear us all as Rape apologists and Pedophiles over a softcore porn blog while writing smut fics where underage characters get raped by adult characters is the biggest fucking L possible. And also her take on SU being “bad” boils down to “Being nice to people and forgiving others is bad actually”, her opinions are bullshit and she’s practically a sociopath.

[sdcbatz]

I don’t even like SU but Peet’s probably one of the stupidest people to ever live and should not be considered a source for anything except maybe what NOT to be with your life

[thespectacularspider-girl]

Not going to bother

I’ve got people legitimately using dishonest arguing tactics regarding my post in response to SYABM.  Ignoring the actual points I made, moving the goalposts, acting as if I made points I didn’t, coming in with established grudges to take pot shots at me, etc.

It’s bullshit.  Imagine getting upset at me saying someone’s enjoyment of a movie cannot be ‘taken’ by someone else pointing out flaws in it.

People point out flaws in Legend of Korra all the time.  Some are illegitimate due to bad information, but a lot are legitimate.  I still enjoy Legend of Korra because I acknowledge those flaws, rather than think it’s on par with the original show.

[switch-up-snowfox]

Fucking hilarious spidey.

[takashi0]

#couldn’t even say it in the actual thread#had me waiting for a response. “When people insult me for liking Korra, that’s bad, but when I tell people they’re stupid for not thinking the Sequel Trilogy is bad, it’s okay! And anyone who says otherwise is dishonest!” Have you tried not being a Cunt for three seconds, Spidey?

[thefuckisabook]

Take your own advice.  You seem to be unable to interact with other people not liking Star Wars without becoming a massive prick, so either learn to deal with that flaw in yourself or stop fucking engaging with it.  Fuck you strawmanned her immediately!  She never said it’s bad when people insult her for liking Korra, that never even mentioned, just that people point out flaws in the storytelling, structure, etc, and she draws a parallel between her response to said flaws by saying that it impacts the shows quality, not her enjoyment.  I haven’t seen enough about this argument to say if spidey’s being a cunt, but whether or not she’s a kettle, I know you’re a pot.

[werewolf-cuddles]

People who cherrypick evidence from canon to “prove” that a crossdressing character is “actually canonically trans” and ignoring anything from canon that contradicts this are annoying as fuck.

Astolfo is not a trans woman. Chihiro Fujisaki is not a trans woman. Felix Argyle is not a trans woman. Naoto Shirogane is not a trans man. Ruka Urushibara is not a trans woman.

Sure, you can make a semi-convincing argument that any of these characters are “actually trans” by taking random snippets out of context, but once you put those cherrypicked examples back into context again, your argument completely falls apart.

And no, “they’re obviously trans coded, they were just written poorly because the author is a transphobe” is not a valid argument either.

[rainbowloliofjustice]

Also in doing this, a lot of the times they ignore the growing list of canonly trans characters 

[sindri42]

‘Astolfo is trans’ no, he has specifically stated that he is a man on several occasions, he just likes to dress cute.

Mordred, the person from the exact same show who constantly refers to themself as the son of King Arthur and gets angry when somebody refers to them as a woman, is trans. But you don’t care because he wears tiny shorts and a tube top.

[bizarrolord-deactivated20241123]

YMMV on Mordred though, if they’re a trans guy, nonbinary, or just a masculine woman with similar issues to Naoto’s because of all the crap they’ve been through.

I can think of better examples in the Fateverse- da Vinci being one (though YMMV if she’s a trans woman or nonbinary, as she existed as male before being summoned by the Throne of Heroes, where she blatantly based her appearance off of the Mona Lisa), and d’Eon (being of neutral gender in the game but based on a historical trans woman). 

[buckskinblues]

Mordred is a girl. She refers to herself as a son for the same reason Artoria is referred to as a king. She’s explicitly stated to be female by official source material and IIRC only ever talks about being a “son” in the context of her relationship to Artoria and never any other time.

[bigwordsandsharpedges]

Ask me about how modern thorium reactors address literally every problem with nuclear power.

[sdcbatz]

How, this sounds interesting.

[funereal-disease]

It’s really bizarre how a lot of people have come to see “Boomer” not as a contextual identity but as an inherent one. As in, they see the fact that Boomers hold the majority of power as something innately and uniquely wrong with that particular generation, rather than the natural result of accumulating power with age. When Boomers were Millennials’ and Xers’ age, they were in the same position relative to the Silents and Greatests as we are to them. Millennials will someday be the same relative to the children of Zoomers.

It’s especially bizarre when this morphs into considering Boomer-bashing an inherent and automatic good, no matter who is doing it or why. I’ve seen way too many people share articles from the ‘60s and ‘70s bashing Boomer youth culture, usually with an implied “they were bad even then”. Even though those articles were written by the old people of the ‘60s and ‘70s, who were ragging on the young in exactly the way Millennials claim to loathe! It really betrays the fact that this is not materialist analysis: it’s pure identity politics. It’s not old people criticizing young people that they don’t like, it’s *Boomers criticizing Millennials*. Because those categories are being rapidly reified as *identities*, not just mutable social spaces.
