Tumblr users discussing rap music is the new Plato's Allegory of the Cave

[aleshakills]

They see the shadow of rap music cast on the wall by their conservative parents and confuse it for the real thing

maybe it's me being a brown woman but i can't comprehend how & why people treat having a racist phase as a teenager as smth okay or a norm

[phruxx]

it's def not good but treating people who got better like they're still shitty people is a good way to make them turn back into shitty people

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.

i'm sorry i didn't respond to your DM for 23 days. the number on the notification icon got really big and i began having irrational anxious thoughts such as "what if people are in there trying to contact me"

Love that the "restorative justice" (the way you've all bastardized that term is honestly criminal) crowd insist their position is not about just letting rapists walk freely like nothing happened but literally all they talk about is being nice to rapists and never about giving any victims any "restoration" or "justice". Weird.

[vampiricvenus]

Restorative justice is meant to be a careful process of Restoring Justice TO THE VICTIMS in ways that are actually productive for the individuals involved, and a decent preventative measure for future potential harm.

IT'S NOT SIMPLE SILENCE AND INACTION.

[el-shab-hussein]

Fake restorative justice enjoyers when the survivor says "I understand the position and perspective you were in when you hurt me but this process hasn't restored the harm done to me, I don't feel like justice was done, I think this person still poses a threat to other vulnerable people like me. We need more than this"

Love how Willow in a way became a vengeance demon despite rejecting it when formally offered. Yes girl fuck up people's lives but reject the label because then it becomes too real!!! Act like what you're doing is justifiable!!! Look down on people doing the exact same shit as you (*coughAnyacough*) because unlike you they own it!!!!!

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.

[cyberpunkpavlichenko]

So many of the comments are doing exactly what this post is criticizing - centering artists in discussions around AI’s harms. Every time you bring them up, you’re refocusing the conversation away from these other topics you claim to care about equally.

Okay, if you are tired then you won't be able to read. There I say it. No one else want to say it. It is strange. If you are tired, if you cannot finish a book that's a given. That's why you need to read...at work. You need to steal your reading time from your employers.

god forbid Black women have fun

[gothhabiba]

Black woman invents or popularises a phrase -> it enters the vernacular and circulates widely amongst Black and nonblack people -> people removed from the phrase's initial context read it too literally, do not interpret it with sensitivity, assume that the ideas expressed when people use it are shallow / "over"-sexualised / problematic in some way or another that mirrors their feelings about Black people as a whole -> there is a backlash where a supposedly more 'thoughtful,' 'subversive,' etc. alternative to the initial phrase is offered, implying that the initial phrase contained none of that complexity within it -> rinse & repeat
