Listen, man, if you’re going to be extremely toxic towards a group of people based on attributes of their birth that they obviously would have no control over, then you can have the prettiest art or greatest talent in the world and I’d still think you’re dreadful and not worth my support.

If you rag on people for their race, sexuality or gender I’m not going to be able to enjoy your work. This goes for all demographics out there, not just the ones you pick and choose from because “X  people deserve it! uwu”. You can try to justify your own crappy ideals ‘til the cows come home, but it doesn’t make it right or truthful. 

I can say all I want how I’d like to be able to separate the personality from the work, but the truth is I just can’t help feeling the work is tainted with negativity a bit when I see that work in future.

Pettiness, self righteousness and bitchy racism/sexism has become so glorified in recent years, it amazes me how much people have completely bowed down to justify these ignorant and divisive attitudes. It’s so sad and revolting. It is a road to ruin that people are in complete denial of.

Just be nice to your fellow citizen and to yourself. You’ll be happier for it.

Every single time a mass shooting occurs, people complain that it is excused by or even /blamed/ on mental health (or terrorism) and not for alleged ‘nationalism’ or not for the fact that they are ‘men’, which implies that pretty much most if not all men have a sense of violent entitlement, which is nothing short of ridiculous and outright disgusting because it completely dismisses the ultimate issue and problems at hand. 

But, let’s be realistic here‚ you do have to be pretty unstable mentally in order to actually carry out a murderous rampage, such as the Vegas or Orlando shootings. Let’s not look past that. It’s almost on par with the argument used when people complain about an antagonist in a horror movie being mentally ill. But what people need to remember is the following questions and answers — 

Do movies portray a misguided idea of what mental illness or people that suffer from it are like? Most of the time, yes and that’s typically because fiction is fiction; it’s all fantasy. Is it true that mentally ill people aren’t murderers? Yes, the outstanding majority of mentally ill people aren’t, in fact, killers or even violent to others. Then is it true that you need to have some level of mental illness in order to (or attempt to) kill someone (excluding some cases of self defence)? Yes.

The thing is solution is not to stigmatize those with mental health problems, but the solution is also not to pretend they aren’t present in such situations either. More awareness and support needs to be raised in order for help and treatment to be encouraged so that can further prevent these kinds of tragedies.

Thoughts on anime

There’s a whooole lot of tripe but sometimes there is good tripe.Though, I wish fanservice wasn’t as popular as it was. I got no issue with people that do like it (although I do find people into shota/loli kiiind of creepy, but it’s not really my business if they aren’t harming anyone). 

There’s not a huge deal with it per se, but it’s kinda of boring that fanservicey harem anime is the mainstream these days, where all female characters are all tropey and carbon copies of themselves. They’re essentially recycled, doe-eyed garbage versions of predecessors (and they predecessor’s predecessors and so on) — heck even the male protagonist of the show is virtually the same nearly all the time because he’s basically meant to be a self insert/blank slate kind of character anyway. I mean, this kind of genre DEFINITELY adds to that feeling of cringe if someone admits that they enjoy anime to people that aren’t quite as nerdy.It’s painfully obvious that a lot of writers and directers of mainstream anime just do not know how to write compelling and interesting female characters anymore and they almost always have to fit into a very glaringly obvious trope/character category.And this is not to say that this kind of anime didn’t exist in the 90s or even the 70s & 80s — there simply wasn’t as much an abundance of them as they are now and it’s tiring.I can definitely see truth in the phrase “anime is now made for otaku by otaku”. And it almost feels as though those otaku writers haven’t really bothered to interact or socialise with many people outside of their interests.

Again, I’ve got no deal with casual fans of these kind of genres — I just hate seeing the same ol’ recycled garbage over and over.

Both sjws and anti-sjws spout silly stuff, there’s virtually no middle ground anymore and it’s a bit exhausting.

Yet another fucking terror attack happened in London just now. This needs to fucking stop. People need to talk about the actual problems at hand and about how we can combat this and prevent it from happening. This is not alright. People are getting killed and it’s being treated like it doesn’t matter.

We do need to discuss religion and extremism. We do need to discuss culture clash and how we can learn to not only accept, but to integrate properly and respectfully. We do need to discuss these deaths properly. We do need to discuss law, war, terrorism and history. Too many people do not wish to discuss this seriously in a time when it needs to be the most. I’m so tired of innocent people dying, especially in the name of ideology. It does not matter what set of beliefs are behind it, it just needs to stop. period.

We can make this world a better place, but people need to stop treating it like hell or dismiss it nihilistically. We need to actually work together to make it happier.

Kind of silly how that person debating with me on that post about Peterson makes assumptions about my views on trans people (for example, that they are people that should be given as much respect as anyone else) and that I’m transphobic, which you can’t actually decipher that from what I said. What I explained was trying to enforce law and regulation into speech and weaponising words get dangerously close into authoritarianism. That is the issue at hand— restricting or enforcing a certain way of speaking is one step further to advocating dictatorship. And this was what Peterson’s issue with bill C-16 is. Currently, it just so happens pronouns are the topic for this legislation, however if it were anything else, the problem would still be the same. The problem was never so much about the pronouns, but rather how poorly C-16 is elaborated to the point where it enforces a certain way of speaking.

People should not be forced into using certain words, and I’m afraid that does go for pronouns as well. It may be rude and shitty if they don’t but they still should not be forced into it by legislation. Take note however, try to be considerate to people and their pronouns for the sake of common courtesy. Don’t be a prick for the hell of it or transphobic, c’mon.

God, I wish my sister would learn to grow up.

Aight, so OP replied to my commentary about the fact that it’s exhausting to have people treat autistic people as though they are either pathetic, dumb and childish or these really great, overly amazing beings and just... misses the entire point about wanting to be treated as a normal, everyday person to everyone else. Again, nevermind the fact that the vast majority of actions listed are what ‘neurotypical’ people experience a lot as well and although we might have autism, which is something the vast majority of people do not have (so technically, we are different to a small margin), we should not be treated differently or lesser because of it. Also kind of implied that I hated being autistic — which I don’t (so, thank you very much for putting those words into my mouth, OP). However — I do not believe it positive thing to have either, nor does it actually make experiences as WOW SO AMAZING as was expressed in that post. 

““infantile and mentally stunted adult-children” i really really hope you meant this as like. a horrible thing that a neurotypical would say but that you would never say. because describing anyone that way is really fucked up and heartless.” — of course I mean that, silly. Stop trying to make it out as though I hate autistic people when I am one myself, Jesus Christ. Of course I mean that as something an ASSHOLE would say, not a neurotypical (because that generalises the majority of the world’s population), an ASSHOLE.

“4) i honestly don’t know what you’re talking about with this bit “these ethereal beings that tumblr keeps making us out to be.” first of all idk about you but i Am an ethereal being.” — I... okay, whatever, you can call yourself that if you so choose and as a matter of fact, I almost implore that you do on the basis of if that is what you’d like since you have the right to do that but you are not this ‘ethereal being’ BECAUSE of your autism. We are people just like everyone else, this is literally my entire point. That’s what’s upsetting about this behaviour and attitude because it’s childish and it’s so tiring to have people fall into this trap of essentially making ourselves look as such when already so many jerks in this world ALREADY treat us like this. So, no, I’m not trying to ‘shit on autistic people trying to positive’ (again, thanks for trying to twist my words into that motive and fit into your narrative) but consider it a warning that the post is pretty misguided as again, many ‘allistic’ people can already relate to it as is (and no amount of “oh, but they don’t GET IT like WE do”’s is going to change that) and that it’s childish outlooks such as yours and many others on here that is going to make people baby us more and treat us unable, which I and many other autistic people do not appreciate.  Q.E gotdang .D
