oh my god I just found out why the entire "minority men aren't oppressed for being men theyre oppressed for [insert other minority]" bothers me. It sets men as the default, again. It frames men as a default and allows people to skip over and perpetrate bigoted ideals with little backlash while dorectly going against intersectionality. Racism against a black man is " just racism", youre not allowed to talk about it outside of that. Marking something as "just" racism, "just" transphobia, "just" abelsim ect lessens the idea of it. Its JUST the default, after all.

Intersectionality states that all facets of someones identity and situation leads to the type of oppression they face, you cannot seperate one thing from another. Race, sex, gender identity, wealth, where you live, sexuality, health. None of these can be seperated when talking about challeneges and bigotry an indiviual faces. Setting bigotry against minority men as a default perpetuates and upholds patriarchal bigotry and makes room for microagressions and macroagressions to be diminished and overlooked as we've seen time and time again. This idea that "man" excludes someone from facing targeted bigotry somehow is wrong, men of color are opressed on the axis of being MEN of color, same woth disabled men and trans men and intersex men. You can't just dismiss bigotry on the basis of gender or sex.

If you dont want men set as the default, stop setting them as the default.

Joshua Maponga said absolutely nothing but the fact.

Black people dont fvk mothers around here. That's an Epstein class thing.

i don't understand why people shit on the good doctor

yeah the autism representation is not perfect, it never going to be cuase it's a spectrum. But it's not the worst?

i hear people say they infantilize Shaun but it's said time and time again that Shaun can do things on his own and even told directly to people in the show and to the audience as a result that we don't need to cuddle Shaun.

It's like the criticism of the first trans episode being transphobic. as a trans person myself, i don't think the ep was transphobic but i had transphobia as part of the events and message of the ep. just cuase it shows the bad stuff, it doesn't mean it is actually condoning it.

and outside of the rep or minorities, it's a damn good show

it makes me feel things, i fuckin cried in some of the episodes

the sound design, AAH the MUSIC it's soft and light and fluffy and feels good and yet it using music to bring out emotion and makes big moments bigger.

i don't like how in the Guatemala special episodes they made it all orange and brown like they do in 3rd world counties, or what americans think any country is outside of Europe. they do that shit to mexico and southern california. I live in socal and it is not brown, well the ground is during the summer but you know what i mean

this is one of my favorite shows, David Shore was made two of my mine now, The Good Doctor and House. Two autistics as leads, one being intentional lol

and yeah it sucks that the actor of shaun isn't autistic, but it's funny that both house and good doctor leads are british and i bet alot people don't know lol

lotta people who were all "99% Hitler" last year sure are comfortable making jokes about moving to China which is still directly actively pursuing a policy of genocide and forced cultural assimilation against Muslims

TRUMP, MUSK DEMOLISHED ON S. AFRICAN LAND REFORM In January, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a new law designed to address historical land-ownership inequalities against Black people. This ticked off US President Donald Trump, who threatened to cut aid to Pretoria, which, according to him, is doing ‘terrible’ things to ‘certain groups’ of citizens - meaning White people. However, some of the alleged ‘victims’ have called his bluff - among them, the White South African content creator in this clip. @honestappraisal1, who has built a reputation for his on-point political commentary, says Trump is not just racist but also ignorant regarding South Africa’s history and social and economic reality. He argues that Trump’s misinformed position results from his fraternising with South African right-wing elements and his tech-bro sidekick, Elon Musk (who was born in South Africa) - noting that most of the opposition towards the country’s land-reform programme is racially motivated by those who benefitted from the apartheid system.

The increase in using words like toxic, abusive and angry to describe Annabeth Chase coinciding with her being cast as a black girl on the tv show is not a coincidence.

Even people who don't watch the show are intentionally doing it because they want to align those words with a black girl who will be the predominate image of Annabeth for the next few years.

There is an insane amount of misogyny and racism in the Percy Jackson fandom that tries to pass itself off as critical thinking and analysis.

[asexual-fangirling-mess]

okay okay ich bin eigentlich 3-??? fan und höre gerade TKKG.

Vor jeder Folge kommt dieser disclaimer das Diskriminierung falsch ist und so? und ich verstehe das es manchmal nur darum geht das sie ihren "freund" Willy als fett beleidigen und so. aber wie rassistisch sind manche Folgen denn bitte? jesus

(Okay okay i am a three investigators fan and am currently listening to TKKG. before every episode there is this disclaimer that racism and such are bad? and i get that usually its because they bully their friend "willy" for being fat and stuff. but how racist are some episodes ??? jesus)
