reblog to give prev a very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy

[crtscreen]

throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

Making aus as a fan who fixates on one (1) character is so hard because I do truly want my blorbo to be the prettiest girl at the party. All the other characters need meaningful moments and important motivations and backstory and internal thoughts. But here's my special guy. Everyone look at him the most. Clap or ill blow this whole building up

This was a kind of sweet dashboard coincidence.

Gotta compliment him on his reflexes. No hesitation. Just described exactly what he was seeing, regardless of what it was.

He says, "um," then immediately points to the screen and confidently announces, "this is baby spinach." /End VD]

people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

Growing up, my brother and I deeply dreaded going shoe shopping. It took hours, especially if it was for winter boots. My dad would examine the stitching, the brand reliability, the temperature recommendations, every piece of information he could get his hands on, and then when he'd finally found the right brand, it was on to making absolutely dead sure they fit properly - he had a particular way of poking the toe of the boot to ensure our foot was where it was supposed to be that always drove me nuts. This was always on a weekend, and it was about the worst punishment we could imagine.

Years later, I found out that he'd spent his entire childhood on the Canadian prairies with cold feet. My grandmother just bought whatever boots looked like the best value, regardless of whether they'd keep anyone warm. They'd kept him from frostbite, probably, but never, ever comfortable.

The reason my grandmother never had a thought about this was because she was buying her kids real boots. There was a sort of magical quality about real, purpose-made boots that meant that of course they'd work, because when she was growing up on the Canadian prairies, they had the kind of no money that meant you just stuffed some newspaper into your shoes and soldiered on.

The last pair of winter boots my dad bought for me was 15 years ago, in preparation for a three-month stint living in northern Quebec in midwinter. They cost $200 then, or something like it. I've worn them every year since, driving out to the remotest locations on the Canadian prairies and never once thinking about my feet.

When I read the Vimes Boots Theory for the first time, it rang a bell that reverberated back three generations.

Hmm. Okay. So. A lot of people have been tagging this with "the way men love", after that popular poem, or saying in the tags that this is the way my dad told us he loved us. And that was certainly a tangible way he showed it, and a legitimate one! In a society where we don't like to let men show their emotions openly, that's a thing men do. To be honest, I think telling us my grandmother's story was a way for him to show love as well - for us and for her.

But I want to say, for his sake but also for all of yours, that my dad told me he loved me every single day of my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. The phrase, repeated ad nauseam by both my parents, was that they loved me "always and forever, no matter what". My dad probably said that phrase, with its sentimental gooeyness, more than my mom. Even when we were mad, even when I was a teenager and absolutely everything was wildly embarrassing. He still says it, when we're having a Moment, eyes twinkly and kind of proto-teary. If we're not having a moment, if it's just a regular day, my dad just tells me he loves me every time he sees me.

I just want you to know that that's a thing men do, too.

2. sanitation worker. working at risk to carry out unpleasant tasks without which society would collapse within days. actual heroes

i'll have said it before but it bears repeating because i know there is broader controversy about the epilogues being separated from the original comic on the wiki: saying "the epilogues are only pretending to not be canon" is not necessarily being more respectful of the complex and nuanced point they're trying to make about the nature of "canon"

[crispy-crust]

post made last year when james roach was still director of beyond canon

[dingodad]

but this is exactly what i mean when i talk about respecting the point the epilogues were trying to make lol, do we really think "something is canon when a guy who worked on another related story says he thinks it's canon" was the creative or philosophical vision hussie was trying to communicate when they wrote that 200k word novel

[crystalflarestuck]

To quote Hussie

I think there are more points to be made about like, "authoritativity" when it comes to how fans perceive some works of fiction as more legitimate than others, and how there are a lot of illusions about that which can be poked at.

People whove been writing works for marvel characters for the last several decades literally have been writing fanfiction. theres literally nothing to distinguish what they are doing from fanfiction, except a big corporation (run by people who also had nothing to do with these characters) is saying "this is more legitimate than anything you are doing out there"

which is sort of insane, that a corporation has a magic wand to tell you what forms of art are more important than others

everyone is so powerfully brainwashed by capitalism. even these passionate anti-capitalist folks, they talk a good game about how disney sucks or whatever, but then turn around and start talking about media in this very formalist way that implies they agree with corporations defining the legitimacy of whats real vs fake

even WP is a corporation. its just a very small one. the fact that WP has the good and real shit, whereas you do not, is a psychological thing, not a reality
