Don't buy into overpopulation theories. The Earth has enough for all, and we have the capabilities to provide for everyone.

Demand is not the issue, supply chains are.

I find it fascinating that people who choose not to have children are generally assumed to feel really strongly about not having children (or even to feel really strongly against children, anyone’s children, in general). I am probably not going to have children, not because I REALLY REALLY HATE the idea of having children, but because I don’t really really love it. Out of all the major decisions I will make in my life, this one is the only irreversible one. I can sell a house, quit a job, divorce a spouse, whatever. I cannot unhave a child. I cannot opt out of being a parent once I become a parent. I can’t even take a step back for the sake of self-care or whatever, or else my child will suffer.

So for me, having children is fuck yes or not at all. The default will be to remain childfree. Having children should be an opt-in decision, not an opt-out one. Until/unless I develop really strong feelings about wanting to have children, I won’t have them, even if that means I never end up having them at all.

Writers needs to stop taking inspiration from fascism for their characters if their intention is to redeem those characters. Fascism is not an ideology worth romanticizing because so many communities around the world are suffering due to the trauma inflicted on them by said ideology. It gives those who do believe in these ideologies an excuse and it sympathizes with them disregarding the pain and damage of those who are victims. The audience should not be expected to empathize with fascist characters. writers really need to get their shit together. Showing the consequences of fascism is one thing but writing one of your key characters and storylines to revolve around the redemption of a fascist, who is clearly toxic, is another and it’s very wrong.

I think the problem with Pink Diamond is that the Crewniverse didn't plan out her story in a good and understandable way. The sudden change of her character from the good guy to the worst person in the entire show just feels so unrealistic and out of nowhere. Not to mention that they try to tell us now that the other Diamonds, who already committed bigger crimes before Pink was even a thing, are now those friendly family members of Steven, which is even more bullshit. 1/2

If the Crewniverse would have stick with the idea of Rose and Pink being two different characters, or tried to present Pink as a defective Diamond who was right from the beginning against what her fellow Diamonds do, doing to the lack of not having the same instinct than the others, then it would have may worked better. With how it is now, it just a pure mess, the story is confusing and it's not surprising when the fandom splits in two when it comes to Pink and defending vs hating her. 2/2

I hate to break it to yall but China is not the primary reason gays aren’t in Disney movies. Disney frequently has to re-edit their films for China regardless of a gay or two in a movie.

Disney doesn’t feature gay characters because Disney is a massive corporation made up of thousands of creators who are subservient to shareholders that are primary white, male, uber-wealthy, and homophobic. What shareholders say, goes. And that becomes what we see.

This is not because of China, this is a product of shareholder value; when corporate decisions are made to maximize profit for executives always at the expense of employees or customers.

[nokogiriyama]

can yall collectively stop blaming non western countries for being “bigoted” and not as progressive as yours when in reality its the fault of your cishet white creators that we cant have things. can you??

[bauliya]

i’m from india and I’m familiar with asian films and art and like.. artists who are literally born and raised here create art depicting gay ppl, they did ages ago, they do it now, they do it on niche platforms, sometimes at great personal risk to their safety, but they do it. they make art depicting gay people even when their only hope to breaking even is appealing to Asian audiences and you know why?? because they CARE.

Disney just absolutely doesn’t give a fuck about us. just doesn’t. do not say “because china” when it comes to Disney bcus Disney will make more than enough money without Asia and has enough money to bully anyone into submission. stop using racism to excuse white homophobia u basic bitch.

You know, I keep seeing all these posts going around lately about “being a daughter” that, frankly, as an eldest daughter myself, I find… Pretty horrifying?

I want to make something very clear: Being a daughter is not inherently a tragedy. If your parents treat you like shit and try to convince you that’s just how life is for girls, if your mom treats you as a therapist, if your mom never apologizes when she mistreats you, if you’re “inheriting” your mom’s trauma, those are signs of abuse. You may have been manipulated into believing they are normal, whether intentionally or not, and it’s likely that both you and your parents should seek therapy.

I promise you, those things are not normal, and you should not stand for them. Demand better for yourself! And most importantly, stop talking as if these are normal things. For every post about the “tragedy” of “being a daughter”, there is likely a girl out there who will think “Well, I guess the way my parents treat me is normal and ok, then,” and continue on believing that the abuse she suffers is normal or even justified.

Instead of telling victims of abuse that this is just the fate they’re doomed to, we need to make it clear that what they’re going through is not normal, not ok, and that they can and should fight for better lives for themselves.

If you truly find yourself relating to many of those “daughter trauma” posts, I’m so sorry you had that experience. Please know that it’s not normal, it’s not your fault, and if you need to please seek help. Women are not a tragedy- Your mom just sucks ass, and that’s on her, not humanity.

[nothorses]

your mother had a responsibility to heal from her trauma before she had kids, at least enough to know it was there and have control over how it impacted her children. she failed to do that. that is common, but it isn’t okay, and you deserved better.

[apocalypsegay]

rebecca sugar sure was like “body positivity!” then made the fattest woman in her show be literally the worst person in the universe

*while slowly trimming down the rest of her fat characters lol

[salty-sapphire]

steven was more mad at jasper for corrupting herself than the diamonds for corrupting every gem in legs to hw

He got more mad at her for killing a beetle than he did at the Diamonds for genocide

[bitterlapis]

I like the left pamphlet. The right? Not so much.

Also, I remember Steven basically saying that he doesn’t want to be a part of the Diamond Authority. And now he’s putting his smiling image on the Diamond Authority symbol. With the other Diamonds.

[salty-sapphire]

Legiterally could steven not have come up with a better nickname? Tf? He just looks at the ball and comes up w/ volleyball. Coulda looked down to see the sand, why not Sandy or somethn, or Bun cause of her hair, or maybe Pinkie cause she's,,,,,, pink. It's super frustrating and I can just imagine them keeping that nickname and him or pearl saying, "hey volleyball!".

Literally ANYTHING would be better.

Off the top of my big dumb head.

Pinky

Space Buns

Leia

Princess

Pinky Pie

Ribbons

Bunny

Bubblegum

LITERALLY ANYTHING

[suwhat]

I think a good nickname for Pink P. would be Conch. Since conch pearls are usually pink like her, also her hair looks kinda similar to the spiral that conch shells usually have.

[salty-sapphire]

Steven: *actively harasses Jasper after she's made it more than clear that she doesn't want anything to do with him OR the Crystal Gems and that she just wants to b left tf alone* Jasper: *gets mad* Steven: Omg Jasper, you're so ungrateful and mean to me ;_;

Literally he’s like those guys that just try to piss people off to get a reaction from them and then frame them as the bad guy

[salty-sapphire]

It's so weird how Rebecca dedicated a full episode about how relationships can't be rushed and stuff and take time, and the pearls are apparently a thing after the one day together??? And pearl didn't even respect pinky at the beginning

Its not the first time either, Ruby and Sapphire just immediately fell in love

"It’s a treaty," says Wente. "It's in keeping with how Indigenous nations have tended to negotiate with other entities in the past. I think it’s a great precedent for how Indigenous nations might deal with a corporation the size of Walt Disney, as well as governments and other agencies, around the use of their cultural and intellectual property in popular entertainment."

- Jesse Wente, director of Canada's Indigenous Screen Office

I just think it's really funny how a lot of the creative team is still white, the voice actors for Yelena, Honeymaren, and Ryder are white, and yet Dsney expects pats for covering their asses literally Doing The Lowest Tier of "The Right Thing"

Idk I just think that's funny.

What kind of lesser known Latina stereotypes should we avoid? Im an avid writer but I suppose there really is not any straight answer you can find?? I’m a bit bad at wording things but

Well 🤔 (this is just a personal list about stuff you should avoid or reconsider when u write latinas. Latinos in general too)

The really aggressive latina

The loud latina

The latino character who speak english/their mother tongue that was clearly written by a not bilingue

“Hola amigo, oh sorry i mean hi friend” (thats not how bilingue people talks dhdbslnsjs)

When the latino character literally personality is surrender about being “illegal” or hate racism, etc (GOD I HATE THOSE ONES 🙄)

Dont think that latinos have a specific look. Latino is a ethnicity not a race. We can be black, brown, white, indigenous, asian, mestizos, etc (thats why when ppl put ‘race: latino’ made me uncomfy)

Mexico is a beautiful country and i love my mexican siblings. But is important do latinos from different countries! There mexicans yes but so chileans, peruvians, puerto ricans, cubans, ETC ETC. just keep in mind that u have a lot of countries for choose. And also latinos with double nationality exist too.

I will write few more later

[esteicy-blog]

We aren’t a fetish: Avoid the “Super hot, super sexual latina” stereotype like a plague. Yes your latina character can be sexy but don’t mention it every five seconds, don’t just make her stand there to be an object for men’s desire, it can’t be her whole personality and really avoid words like “exotic”.

Don’t villanize latin beauty, we aren’t vixens who will break your marriage or will try to steal your man, we aren’t more likely to cheat on our partners.

If you do have a latina who is attractive, have more latinas in your cast who don’t have a supermodel body and that’s fine, diversity is your friend.

All of this is especially relevant if she is a woc too and actually also applies to latinos, don’t do any of this to your men characters, it’s also wrong.

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

^^^^^

[xchupacabrasx]

ALSO!!! (For latinos in general)

Don’t make your ONLY latino character a thief, robber or a drug dealer.

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

GOOD ADVICE AS WELL ^^^

[salty-sapphire]

Literally just stumbled across a Twitter thread defending Pink Diamond and holy shit you cannot make this up "after pink hurt volleyball she knew she messed up and she changed and matured maybe the diamonds noticed and gave her earth. if pink didn’t hurt volley then she wouldn’t have grown I’m sure the other diamonds may have done worst and not learned from it which is worst" So basically, if Pink didn't abuse/break Pink Pearl, then she wouldn't have grown..???

Fucking hell thats like bottom of the barrell abuse apologist shit. “If you werent abused you’d never had grown” like bitch shut the fuck up

Don't see what's so exciting about an adult coded intellectual alien species being coddled like a bunch of kindergartners through some boring "homeschool" lecture program by some kid who lacks an education of his own, but go off I guess future.

But Steven knows everything cause he's the best. He teaches playing the ukelele and knowing how to solve problems for clout.
