And yeah obviously I realise the pentagram is just photoshop, but they could still have added an artificial glow in digitally to make it look like the light was reflecting onto him - in particular the dark part of his cheek looks very orange, although that might also just be from increasing the saturation of the colours. But yeah it definitely looks like they've deliberately styled him to look more "ethnic" or "eastern".

I’m just going to put this up in case anyone wants to debate this

and this is the poster.

yeah that’s a spray tan or makeup.

Women of all colours have it worse than men of *their* colour, yes, but that doesn't mean that all men have it better than all women regardless of race??? Like obviously MOC don't experience certain types of oppression that white women do, but white women still have privileges over MOC and black men in particular (such as the fact that black, Latino and Native men make less to the white man's dollar than white women, and the fact that affirmative action helps white women more than anyone). >>

>>Also ironic that anon brings up rape considering things like the myth of the black rapist and Emmett Till, and the fact that racism against MOC is often rationalised as “protecting white women”, since MOC (esp black men) are stereotyped as hypersexual, violent, misogynistic and with a particular interest in raping white women and so it’s up to white men to “save” white women from them. And for a lot of history white women have been complicit in that.

THANK YOU! LIKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I HATE ALL THESE PEOPLE. With they uninformed ignorant asses. I wish people would just shut the fuck up about shit they don’t know.

Ok I'm from South Africa (and white) and seriously, the claims about "white genocide" are all bullshit used by white supremacists to try to stir up antiblack sentiment among white South Africans. SA has a high rate of violent crime but there's no specific targeting of anyone - most of it is opportunistic and obviously people from lower-income neighbourhoods or disempowered communities (i.e. mostly black people, and mostly women and children) are most at risk. Like at least speaking from my own>

experience most white people here lead cushier lives than a lot of white people in other parts of the world, at least if they’re upper/middle class and educated. Really the only way Trump would suffer if he came to South Africa is because the currency is shit. That or we could set the wildlife on him. But yeah the whole view of South Africa as a violent war zone where you get killed for being white is dangerous, racist, antiblack bullshit.

Whenever we get anons telling us there’s a white genocide in SA I’m always like whatever but also even if the black people there are killing white people it’s about apartheid and the white supremacist system it set up there. Not saying it’s good to kill people but that’s more understandable than apartheid. 

Recap: There is no white genocide in SA and anyone who tells you otherwise is an ignorant asshat and a white supremacist intentional or not.

DAESH it is for the eradication of Donald Trump and hopefully his followers.

Idk if I'm out of line here but that comment "according to white bottoms" on the post about music really weirds me out?? It just sounds so unnecessarily homophobic. Idk if the OP is a gay man (they better be to say something like that) but yeah it just strikes me as really gross like why was it necessary to basically put a giant "I hate queer people" on a post that really had nothing to do with them?

I agree that it was unnecessary so I added a homophobia tw tag to the post!

Re the anon asking about a word meaning the presumption of western/European culture being the norm, I think 'Eurocentricism' is the word usually used. Euronormativity works but it does sound a bit like it's riffing off heteronormativity when they're very, very different issues that work in very different and not really comparable ways.

That’s a good point about Euronormativity riffing off of heteronormativity.

About JJ Abrams, the Star Trek fandom has massive receipts on him - lots of misogyny (of the "how are we going to get teh wimminz to see a scifi movie" variety, plus the fact that two female characters were fridged in the first Star Trek movie and neither Kirk or Spock's mothers were even named onscreen, and of course also the fact that all three named female characters in the franchise so far have been shown in gratuitous underwear shots, two of them because Kirk was ogling them), as well as>

>a quote about how including an LGBTQIA character in Star Trek would be "not necessary" and would be giving the movie an "agenda". And of course the fact that he whitewashed Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. He's not the worst guy out there and he's done some good stuff (like I've heard Alias, Lost and Fringe are pretty decent representation-wise, and I'm not even going to pretend that at least some of the vitriol towards him from the Trek fandom isn't because he made Spock/Uhura canon in the>>new movies), but yeah it seems he's pretty shitty.

Thanks for the reminder friend!

Tbh I think hoodoodyke's comment was more about the last picture in the set, which really does come across as making fun of the idea of men in dresses (Kirk's striking a 'feminine' pose, Spock looks uncomfortable, Bones is freaking out), which is pretty transmisogynistic because it's saying "lol look at how ridiculous these men look in women's clothes!" Contrast this to, say, Peti's pic which has them all wearing 'feminine' clothes but looking cool with it and in a way that isn't presented as a>

>joke. Although idk personally I'm not going to act like I have authority to determine whether drawing male characters in 'feminine' clothes in the first place is transmisogyny, and also I guess the whole "how bad would it be" and the comment "they'd look better than me" could possibly be transmisogynistic because it's saying "oh shame they'd have to dress like women"/"they're only pretending to be women and they look better than I, a real woman, do"?? Idk.

What they were referring to was unclear, they didn’t specify.

The thing is, I, the “topic” starter, am a man, drew the characters in “male” clothing, and was refering more to the size of the clothes (i.e., would they even fit INTO your clothes) than anything else. That’s where my phrasing came from. Perhaps I should have been that specific. I did see people running with it that way.

You’re right,  there’s a fine line between a man wearing a dress as a piece of clothing, and a man wearing a dress as part of a performance of femininity (i.e. drag). The vast majority of the drawings I’ve seen (and I’ve probably seen them all?) were of men who happened to be wearing a dress as a piece of clothing, if they were wearing a dress at all.

vulcanbiologist replied to your post: woo woo I went for a walk with my dog ...

omg they really are beans I’d never thought about it before but it’s so true

right? XD the male was super “thick” you know. And my dog loved him <3

I was a bit nervous because 2 weeks ago my dog saw 2 dogs (that were alone... I blame the damn automatic doors) and he went to say “hi” and they bit him (we couldn’t stop him because he ran) and just the next week a dog jumped the fence of my house and he also bit my dog near his eye. My poor baby have two scars now in his beautiful face (nothing serious, don’t worry) ;n;

But those dogs were suuuper sweet omg and the have enough room between their legs to park a car XD
