Ok so remember that response to the weird Miles Quaritch "speech" I wrote months ago? @baby-prince-oppa made a really cool edit of it and posted it on Reddit, and I can’t say I’m surprised, though surely disappointed.
The amount of white supremacist/colonialist and ecocidal talk masked as being "pro-human" is making me want to tear my skin off. For an avatar subreddit, a subreddit that is supposed to be dedicated to a franchise that focuses on the value of nature and its preservation, there are sure a lot of frankly alarming behaviours documented under that post. I should have expected the ignorance, some as far as even asking questions that are responded to directly in the post description like they did something, but not on such a large scale. People are way too comfortable turning off their brains nowdays. I’m not sure if I even want that post to stay up, because while I could demolish every single one of those ""critiques"", I’m not gonna waste my breath on people who are deeply seated in their bigotry and unable to see beyond it.
I’m happy that speech spoke to so many but it hadn’t been something I put a lot of time into, so I wasn’t prepared for it to be spread out of my control. Needless to say, it only convinced me that common sense is very much uncommon.
