we are in a media literacy crisis

[jactingjoices-deactivated202406]

friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.

[vergess]

IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:

Adult literacy is low.

Child literacy is low.

Information literacy has shifted dramatically in the last decade, but reputable information sources like research journals and factual news reporting have been unable to keep pace.

We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.

It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.

So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.

You're correct:

Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.

i made my character a human fighter who’s a housewife/empty nester seeking adventure and wholesome fantasy violence after discovering that her husband is having an affair

is this……

is this how you dungeons 

is this how you dragons

[thegoodqueertheywarnyouabout]

I know we all know that toph loves to cuss, but I just realized

She had an extremely sheltered upbringing, then when she snuck out to fight, she went to the Earth Kingdom version of WWE, which, if it’s like real world WWE, is family entertainment, and she never spent time backstage, she came she fought she left

I don’t think Toph knows any swear words

[lostfan10000]

She learns to swear from team avatar and becomes all powerful.

[because-im-freaking-greed]

I don’t think Sokka or Katara would know swears either; they grew up in a village consisting of them, Gram Gram, and a bunch of little kids and their moms

I don’t know if the airbenders taught aang swears or not but I know he’s not really the type to swear anyway

Zuko, on the other hand, spent about 3 years of his life as a young angry teenager surrounded by sailors

[waterbenderkat]

Zuko and Suki teach the Gaang to cuss— the Avatar spinoff.

Toph’s REAL life-changing field trip

[tgwdlmreprised]

ugh, okay, unfollowing. i had no clue he chopped down the entire forest and drove out all its wildlife and caused near ireversible damage to the worlds ecosystems just to make some fuzzy shapeless “thneed”

[bonchwad]

C'mon guys, I think we’re blowing this way out of proportion. I mean h

Just so you all know, my tumblr glitched egregiously so now every time someone reblogs this from me, tumblr takes me off of my dashboard or search results and forces me to see this post again

Never Forget the Reign of Terror waged against Muslims (and by extension, Sikhs profiled as being Muslim) in the nearly two decades following 9/11.

A customer just called and asked, “Do you have music?”

I paused a moment and said, “We do have concerts coming up, yes.”

She asked, “When are they?”

And I said, “We have several options.  Is there a certain kind of concert you’re looking for?”

And she said, “what’s the difference?”

Again I paused, and then explained that there are different kinds of music, like classical, pop, rock, etc. The phone call is over, but I’m still not over it.

[enbycarp]

She called back! She wanted to know “some dates for music.”
