To do nothing is not evil, no, but to avoid doing anything only so that you can do no evil is in itself evil.

I do not ask that you post this, only that you understand what it is I am trying to say.

it's only bad compared to other frameworks which actively incite you to do good. it's better than a framework which actively incites evil. the end result of it is doing nothing, which is neutral. what part do you disagree with? that a framework consistently causing a person to do nothing remains neutral? that a framework intended to be good and which fails to do so should still be compared to all other potential frameworks? is it because you think to have a framework based so much around fear and guilt will inevitably cause the person holding it pain and thus be bad with nothing to balance it out? (<- I feel like this one depends on how you put the idea into practice and is not inherent to it, despite being the overwhelming most common form of it. then again the language of 'x thing is bad' could be interpreted to mean only the most common or well known form of it. if you squint)

#also I feel bad about the use of the word evil here #worry it might imply that there are evil people who it is okay to mistreat #there's not #but also it could not be implying that :p #asks

What if there was cheese

#there's not #but what if

The thing about the rebel group (Raine, Darius, Eberwolf, Eda, Lilith) that makes them so much fun is that every single one of them is a 'fuck around and find out' kind of person, they just never agree on what the correct way to fuck around is, which is why it may look like there's common sense between them every now and then. That's a lie, there isn't any.

#toh #the owl house #look LOOK you may be tempted to believe there's a 'voice of reason' in there #there's not #such a thing doesn't exist #this is the kind of group that spends their free time burning down a bar #and then blame it on each other

okay so you know how everyone has kindamsotly ogtten on board with the logic of "boys will be boys" is bad in large part because it assumes this magic switch at 18 where hitting your crush goes from "cute" and "just boys behavior" to "abuse" and the boys in wuestion will just magically learn to stop a behavior that was yeaterday seen as acceptable but suddenly isn't now?

Yeah that's the same issue I have with this whole "kids can't be assholes" thing. Like sure! that kid isn't being an asshole on purpose. But telling them "you're fine everyone sucks at your age" doesn't actually teach them that their behavior sucks. and just assumes that they will Magically Learn how to not be an asshole at some arbitrary age in the future.

kids are assholes a lot of the time. it's not their fault and you have to teach them, but you can also look at a kid and say "that thing you just did/said is assholish". that's how they learn that the thing they did/said is assholish. just letting them know everyone sucks at that age does nothing but assume that there's a magic age you stop sucking at

#there's not #the idea thst your brain is ever dully developed is hogwash #yes there are devlopmentally appropriate behaviors that are annoying but still developmentally appropriate as a human being ages #but your brian is never fully developed #and acting like you have to hit a certain brain development mjlestone to learn how to behave is uuiuhhhuhuhuhuh ableism at best

why am I so difficult to befriend.

*recalls all the ways someone's comments nest into my brain until I lash out about things they already forgot.*

Mm, mmhm.

Well.

I'm sure there's a way to stop that :)

Would you mind elaborating if you're comfortable?

Fosho.

I find it increasingly interesting how in order to be heard or taken seriously in society i must be seen as this sweet, unthreatening being that wouldn't hurt a fly, but the second that I stand up for myself or hell even praise myself for a job well done by saying I'm great at my job or god forbid (i am a master at my job) immediately that is met with comments of "Oh when did you get so cocky?" or "Well you've never had any reports of being problematic before." or my favorite, "you used to be so friendly and nice, what happened?"

What happened was i stopped letting you get away with slick comments that bothered me that i used to stay quiet about. What happened was i decided not to continue to be on the sidelines and stay quiet about shit I'm passionate about. What happened was i decided to speak my truth and take ownership of the things that i want and for some god forsaken reason in YOUR head that meant i became a threat to you.

And from what I've been observing the past few years on my own little growth journey is that it's not just a coincidence that it is mostly black women who have this issue. Black women who are quiet and sweet and happy and bubbly and all of that are a joy to have around, if anything it makes people feel better about having them around because "they're accepting them" But if you do this and the second the black woman pop[s off and demands respect and you look at her in another light that isn't the same type of respect you had before, that is where the issue lies.

I should not have to be like "uwu i love you can you please treat me like a normal human being?" for someone to respect me and treat me like a normal human being. I should come on the scene and demand respect the same way any other person would AND I should get that respect with no excuse ESPECIALLY if I am giving you the same respect as well.
