one thing that really makes the "europeans loving america" content feel like american propaganda is how many of the things that they're excited about are very much present in europe. like i've been to a chippy in ireland i know at least some of you have seen a generous portion of delicious fried food before

I love listening to really old music. Dude’s bragging about how long he can have sex with a full brass band behind him.

[what-even-is-thiss]

20s-60s pop music be like “I’m gonna cuck every man in town because I have a great tongue” *sick piano solo*

[sam-sometimes-wise]

People are like, "Pop culture was so innocent back then!"

meanwhile every time a refined old crooner mentions a woman's "charms" you can basically imagine that "sexyback" by Justin Timberlake just started playing in the background.

"someone to hold in my arms/and know the magic of her charms" yeah sure mister bobby darin that sounds like a wholesome retro activity

people have always been people. they've always been doing the same things.

[bettermetalgoat]

People pearl clutching over songs like WAP: ”Songs were so wholesome and clean back then. Not like NOW!”

Lucille Bogan in the 1920s about to drop the raunchiest song she can think of: “I got a song about fucking and it’s not going to beat around the bush about it. Gonna open with a line about my titties.”

You weren’t kidding

ziyal survives the war -> is unofficially adopted by both garak and kira separately (Very Separately.) -> asks to spend time on cardassia during the reconstruction -> kira comes along because it’s a disaster out there and she’s not letting ziyal go by herself -> comedy of errors where kira keeps getting mistaken for garak’s quite young wife (but what a lovely daughter you have together! she looks so much like you! divorced, you say? what a shame…) -> kira’s head explodes. the end

[the-writing-goblin]

At some point, whether or not Garak and Bashir are actually together, Bashir gets called a home wrecker by an elderly Cardassian grandmother.

Kira and Garak both agree that Bashir’s ensuing outrage is hilarious, making this the first time they ever agree about anything besides Ziyal.

[katbelleinthedark]

This should be how they GET together. Julian gets accused of being a homewrecker despite the fact that he and Garak are only friends -> gets so upset in a crowded restaurant that he very loudly says that he's sorry he ruined Garak's fake marriage and that maybe he should leave and they shouldn't be together -> Garak (who finds it hilarious) fake-sniffs and says that Julian's words would be more effective if they ever were together to begin with -> Julian goes quiet and sits back down, "umm... would you... would you like us to be together?" -> Garak scores a boyfriend

[unamccormack]

Flawless romcom plotting, no notes, though I suspect Garak wouldn't be able to resist, "Well, I don't know, Doctor - Nerys and I have been talking about couple's counselling--"

Fandom Misogyny Victim Tournament

Round One, Bracket 5

Gemma Scout (Severance) vs. Jacinda Vidrio / Cinderella (Once Upon a Time)

Gemma Scout

Jacinda Vidrio / Cinderella

Remaining time: 4 days 20 hours

Propaganda below the cut:

Jacinda Vidrio / Cinderella:

Fandom hates on her for being Henry's love interest while being an Afro-Latina woman, or for being an Afro-Latina Cinderella.

Jacinda's introduction is her trying to kill the Prince from the Cinderella fairytale. What more could you want?

Gemma Scout:

The show is partly to blame here for refusing to give her interiority but some fans want her to be erased or die so Mark and Helly can get together which is misogynistic and also racist since she is Asian and they are both white.

Gemma was used as a prop for Mark's grief for 2 whole seasons but she is a whole Russian literature professor who's been through some crazy shit. She deserves better from both fandom and the show.

[wutheringheightsfilm]

before i go to bed because im ill again i just briefly want to say that white people's adoration and frankly over the top love of (certain) animals taking precedence over their care about people of color is disturbing and needs to be dealt with. saw an insta reel today of a girl who adopted a cat whose owners were abducted by ICE and the comments were just filled with "omg the poor cat!" "i feel so bad for the cat!" "omg it probably thinks it was abandoned!!!" "omg the cat!!" okay and what about the owners. what about the people who owned that cat and loved it and will probably never see it again. the owners that like no one knows the names of? the owners? like the people that owned the cat that got kidnapped so suddenly their cat was just left? what about the people. the owners. like remember them? people who are living their worst nightmare?

or the way yt people will prioritize animals in gaza over the humans that live there. or the way yt people will prioritize animals over like real human laborers farming in unsafe and deadly conditions for their agave or whatever vegan trend of the month. or the way yt ppl will tout ecofascist talking points in favor of animals and against human beings. or the way yt people try and push universal veganism instead of food sovereignty and dismiss the culinary traditions of indigenous groups. and and and

Some of the hate on ai might be corny but I do think this level of direct rejection and social stigma is necessary to keep it from totally overtaking commercial and non commercial artistic spaces

[whoreiorcats]

I don’t want this to in order to protect the jobs of artists or the social clout of fan artists I just think that AI art looks bad and lame and it’s so easy to make that if not for the pervasive hate train it would easily flood the market and be the only thing I see on most platforms

[dataandphilosophy]

“For example, if you’re trying to convince people to boycott a segregated store, your object is to convince them that boycotting the store will have a strategic effect, not that desegregation is morally important. For whatever reason, on a cognitive level human beings have a really hard time with this. Smucker cites an example of a Lefty roleplaying session where people were tasked with selling an action to people who agreed with them on principle but didn’t see the strategic merit of the action. Surprisingly, the sellers couldn’t make the conceptual switch to sell strategic merit: instead, they doubled down on THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT — even though it had been stressed to them that the people they were selling to bought into the importance of the issue. People react poorly to “this is important, so do WHATEVER I SAY”; they want to be convinced that what you’re proposing will work.”

Also from above:

“Bob Wing, a grassroots organizer, explains this nicely: “If winning feels impossible, then righteousness can seem like the next best thing.” But righteousness is not conducive to getting normies to join your team if your team cannot demonstrate ability to, at least sometimes, win. Nor does righteousness help you make real inroads with regular people.”

[strictlyquadrilateral]

i used to hear a lot of "you're not really a man, you just hate how women are treated" directed at trans men, and lately i've been hearing a lot of "if you don't like how women are treated, you're probably not actually a woman" directed at women, and i've gotta say i'm not a fan of either of these.
