So on the nose that an anti rq would be a xenophobic racist POS. This is what antirq is, folks - unhinged bigotry.

wow, it's really cool how the party of democratic kampuchea didn't use the evil, fascist hammer and sickle symbol! i'm glad pol pot is taking a stand against the evils of that symbol, unlike those dang vietnamese and laoitian and pinoy commies, who deserved to get punished by the cia for refusing to stop using that evil, sinister, eastern symbol. if you want to be a good commie like pol pot and step away from that nasty fascist hammer and sickle, here are some things you can use:

-anarchist symbol

-another anarchist symbol

-liberal symbol

-anarchist symbol

-liberal symbol from a political party that explicitly used the symbol to symbolise their opposition to communism

-symbol from a fucking game that the most popular joke known by outsiders is that 'every faction is fascist'

Got called an argie and a Nazi several times today. Constantly getting racism allegations. My team has been blamed of cheating this entire World Cup. I’m honestly so fucking tired guys.

They’re doing sex changes on the illegal aliens in prison :(((

For context, this is a anti-stimboard making fun of the 2024 presidential election, because trump said that for some unholy reason. Also, if you couldn’t tell, the “illegal aliens” are just illegal immigrants, this is so weird man

Okay I'm so sorry but I need to greentext format this

> Be me

> Talking to a fellow tourist about where I'm from, Vulgrado

> Tourist is familiar with my region! I'm surprised

> Tourist leans in conspiratorially and whispers that they heard the Holy Grail is hidden on one of the islands in a church

> I laugh and say my grandpa is a priest

> Tourist starts pestering me, trying to get my opinion on if it's really there.

> I tell the tourist I don't know I've never heard of it, clearly on edge

> Tourist gets mad at me saying I'm lying for the sake of my cult and we don't need to be so secretive

> ???????

fucking absurd that this shit isn't scripted.

rotating this and Caleb's belief that he & Essek will separate when Caleb is older in my mind.

i don't think this was ever a consideration, or at least wasn't at the forefront of Liam's mind when he was playing Caleb, bc the PCs understandably try to avoid racism/xenophobia, but I think it's interesting to think about all the things that Caleb would have to unlearn to be with Essek (and vice versa, since theres plenty of propaganda in Xhorhas too). And like, how when Caleb ends their romantic relationship, he's viewing Essek as an elf first & his partner second and giving his human perspective on their lifespan differences more weight than Essek's.

like I don't think the smut novel itself has any bearing on Caleb's feelings, but I think it speaks to the environment he was raised in, & specifically how he was trained as an assassin to kill people like Essek. And while consciously, he knows those views were wrong and believes differently now, I think there will be parts of that upbringing that he'll be unlearning his whole life, and the same goes for Essek.

(TW for racism/xenophobia, as well as what's going on with Cellbit right now. For anyone who wants to know about that, I put the documents he put out in the replies for the post, as well as TWs for what it contains)

You know, I gotta say I'm really glad I'm hardly on twitter and BARELY know how to navigate it. Because I never actually SEE any of the drama going on over there, I just hear it from tumblr people coming here from over there, and that's definitely the case here as well as well

And I know I haven't really talked much about QSMP Drama before, but what's going on right now is hitting me a little harder than I would've thought, so I do wanna give my two cents on it

For starters, I read through the entire document that Cellbit put out and I feel absolutely horrible for what he's going through right now, and for what he went through in the past. Especially since I've been through something similar to one of the things he mentioned. Not to mention the fact that I'm also most likely asexual as well. (This is kinda why I wanted to talk about it at all, if I'm being honest) I really hope things get better for him, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart

And as for the apparently rampant xenophobia that's been targeted towards the Brazilian community, I honestly feel absolutely terrible that this has been happening. And I really hope that people can come here and find a better part of the community to interact with, if they choose to stay at all. Which I can certainly understand anyone choosing to leave, however unfortunate that is. Either way, I'm really sorry this has been happening to you guys, and it never should have happened in the first place (And anyone else who's experienced this, you have my sympathy as well, even if I know it isn't really gonna help much)

For anyone that stays, I'm really sorry things have been so shitty. Obviously there's not gonna be any place that's completely safe and tolerant, but I certainly hope things over here are better than on twitter

QSMP has been an amazing experience for me, and the fact that I've learned so much about so many different cultures has been absolutely incredible. I'm not the kind of person who can just learn this kind of stuff by reading up on it, so this has really been a great way to learn about things that I either never thought to look into, or just wasn't able to understand for whatever reason

Anyone that sees this sort of project, which has been connecting so many different communities and cultures, and decides to still be so intolerant and hateful, are just a special kind of awful. And frankly, they're the ones losing out on something incredible

(Btw I'm not sure what all to tag this as, since again, I don't really talk about drama stuff all that often, so if anyone wants me to tag a specific trigger or anything else, please let me know)
