The “pedophile jokes” of the dude bros

Because I've already talked about the “powerscaling” argument, and jokes like this are part of the unhealthy trinity of their arguments used to ridicule a character.

And even then, if only they could at least pretend to care about the character they say was abused, instead of just making stupid jokes—but no, for them it's just some kind of humiliation ritual. They don't care about the character they claim is a victim of something so serious—they're just using it as a joke, as if being a victim of that were an excuse to criticize them instead of the abuser.

So, I'm going to defend Sasuke, Yuta, Rika, and Hinamori...

Did Orochimaru rape Sasuke? NO. He’s a disgusting predator, yes, but his behavior is meant to resemble that of a snake. Sorry, but his tongue isn’t the sexual metaphor you’re claiming it to be—it’s just there to give him snake-like characteristics. A snake uses its tongue as a weapon against its prey—that’s all. Orochimaru bites Sasuke without his consent, yes, but this isn't about sex—it's about ninja technique. When Orochimaru says he wants Sasuke’s body, it doesn’t imply sexual assault; his entire character is written to seek immortality through parasitic means (stealing one body after another to stay young). He literally intended to steal it as soon as Sasuke reached Sound and only had to take another body because Sasuke was running late.

Aside from the “dude bros,” SasuSaku and SNS shippers also like to portray Orochimaru as a pedophile because it allows them to make Sakura and Naruto look like the white knights who come to Sasuke rescue.

Just as Yuta’s haters must have felt so clever after calling him a pedophile, only to end up drawing Rika—whom they claim is Yuta’s victim—as a teenager and sexualizing her. They must have felt so clever writing stories in which Rika rapes Yuta, whether as a human or a monster. Yuta and Rika’s relationship is written to be tragic; they made a promise to each other as children, and their bond was accidentally twisted. Gojo literally says, “Love is the strongest of curses.” That’s the theme of their story. They were the same age when they promised to marry each other. But their bond was used against them. Rika was transformed into a monster against her will, and Yuta found himself stuck with her, unable to understand her or make her understand that he didn’t want her to hurt others—and this isolated him from all his other loved ones and and drove him to attempt suicide.

After freeing him, Rika tells him she appreciated the six extra years by his side and leaves. And Yuta uses a technique he named “Rika” in her memory. That’s all. Neither of them assault the other. It is a story of grief and acceptance about a character defined by love. Or maybe you still don't understand the real reason behind Yuta's abilities and his tendency to copy the techniques of those close to him.

Okay, this one’s going to take a little longer...

People think Hinamori is nothing more than “Aizen’s fangirl,” and in all the Bleach parodies, she’s only portrayed as sexually obsessed and wanting to sleep with him.

1. Hinamori isn’t a child—all Shinigami who are captains and vice captains are adults.

Fans have gotten it into their heads that 100 years as a Shinigami equals 10 years as a human. Their source? Their own imagination, to make their ship pairings more acceptable, I suppose (I couldn’t care less about ship pairings, but I’m not blind—I’ve definitely noticed that fans of Isshin x Masaki, Toshiro x Karin, and Rukia x Ichigo came up with this fan-made rule). Rukia looked the same when Ganju looked like a child. And when Ganju looks like an adult, she still looks the same. Rukia and Renji haven’t aged, even though their daughter is growing up normally. Their daughter seems to be growing at the same rate as Kazui, so she doesn’t follow the imaginary rule of “100 years equals 10 years.” Kubo deliberately never showed Isshin before he met Masaki to avoid potential moral issues with the relationship, so for all we know, he grew up normally like Rukia’s daughter and was therefore the same age as Masaki. Gin and Hiyori both looked like children when they met, but Gin is the only one who has grown up after 100 years. So, first of all, Hinamori isn’t a child—I don’t recall anyone ever calling her that. Toshiro is described as “young” by the other captains because he’s younger than his peers at his rank; that doesn’t mean he’s a child. Hinamori acts excessively cute and gentle despite her age and military rank because she's younger than her peers and Kubo wants to use a cliché to show that Aizen is the evil antagonist. When a villain doesn't kill a puppy, he kills his own henchman who trusts him. In this case, Aizen injures his own subordinate, who has puppy-dog eyes.

2. Kubo is...

Bleach fans might get mad at me, but even though I love Bleach, the truth is obvious... Kubo IS A PERVERT!

It’s just so obvious!!! As for Nel, I've already said this about Oda: there's no justification for a mangaka to have a female character go from looking like a child to looking like an adult with large breasts. It's not funny, and any adult man is fully aware of what he's writing. Look at how he draws 17-year-old Orihime, Yoruichi, and how he writes the interactions between Nemu and Mayuri—a so-called “father” and “his daughter” (yes, I’m still angry about this mockery and the fact that Nemu dies for her abuser, who just ends up replacing her).:

This guy literally uses the word “fun” (if it’s not a translation error) to leave it a mystery that Hinamori—a girl who thinks she knows Aizen—could have had a sexual relationship with the man who was going to manipulate her into getting herself killed (turning her against Toshiro and Kira was certainly a logical plan to wreak havoc within the Soul Society, but it’s still a total asshole move). I repeat, he uses the word “FUN.” Consent in a sexual relationship isn’t possible if one partner is manipulating the other. And he finds that fun. Do you want to know what must have happened and why he said that: He just saw that fans thought there was a chance this might have happened, and he took advantage of it to make himself seem interesting. Kubo has never hesitated to talk with his fans and answer their questions. He could have clearly said yes or no, but instead he chose to create a mystery and found it amusing that fans were wondering about it.

Yoruichi and Soi Fon met when Soi Fon looked like a child. Later, Yoruichi retained her youthful appearance, but Soi Fon grew up and fell for her. The age difference is certainly even greater than that between Aizen and Hinamori. Kubo decided to write this kind of relationship. So, if he intended to portray Hinamori as having fallen in love with Aizen—whom she met once when she was still at the academy—it wouldn't surprise me at all from him. But at this point, as this continues to happen, it's no longer a flaw in the characters, but in the author.

3. The Narrative

Hinamori shows up at Aizen’s door in the middle of the night and apologizes, admitting that it’s inappropriate. This isn’t the reaction of a woman who’s in a steady relationship with a man; it seems like this is the first time she’s ever been to his place. The situation is exceptional: the Soul Society is on the brink of war at this moment, and Toshiro has warned her not to leave Aizen alone and unguarded because he distrusts Gin. She has come seeking comfort because she is used to him reassuring her with words. Ultimately, the main purpose of this scene is for Hinamori to see Aizen writing the letter right in front of her, and for her to be the last person—aside from his potential killer—to have seen Aizen alive, the first to notice his absence, and the first to find the body. She is there to serve as a witness. So, unlike Toshiro, she won't believe the letter is fake. Since she was there when he wrote it and didn't see anyone enter the room while she was there to switch it out. It's literally a police investigation at this point.

4. Adoration

Maybe I don't care enough about romance; platonic relationships have always interested me more in fiction. I’m one of those who thinks Hinamori was more important to Aizen than he’s willing to admit (after all the effort he went to have her killed by someone other than himself, and after stabbing her with a strange expression on his face), but I don’t see anything that would suggest he had a sexual or romantic interest in her. Aizen uses the word “adoration” to describe the feeling she has for him; he doesn’t mention love (whether it be friendly affection or romance). “Adoration” is a word associated with divinity. He has a God complex—look me in the eye and dare to tell me that the guy with the biggest ego in the manga (and also with a loneliness complex he refuses to admit, which prevents him from forming bonds) would be capable of sleeping with a woman he describes as “too weak.” He even refused to use his sword more than once against Hallibel because he felt she wasn’t worth his time. Do you think he’d be willing to sleep with someone he considers so weak that she’d be unable to live without him? He doesn’t need to sleep with people to manipulate them. It's even implied that he unconsciously blames others for not being able to understand him (with Shinji, Hinamori, and after his battle when Ichigo talks to Urahara about Aizen). And is he supposedly that close to someone else that it would lead to sex? No.

Sasuke was not sexually assaulted by Orochimaru. Yuta and Rika did not assault each other (stop sexualizing a bonds between children). And Hinamori did not sleep with Aizen. And even if that were the case—even if you interpreted the story as if it had happened—that would make them victims of abuse, and that’s not something to make fun of. But of course, these idiots are incapable of properly criticize a character, so instead they make degrading sexual “jokes” in their memes and parodies.

I cannot believe that this is a website where you can ask “hey i think i saw a weird image once” and put a bad stick figure drawing of it and someone will be like “oh yeah that’s the first installment of a 12-part post-ironic apocalypse fever dream photoshop series” and just hand you a dozen of the most unhinged images you’ve ever seen in your life, that still have a better three act structure than most modern cinema

[flurgerbla]

I dont think thats the whole photoset…. I found one more

But from what i can gather thats Crystal Thierry, also known as page73girl. Who seems to have been a model for the now defunct biggestletdown.com…

But i have no idea when the eschatron 9000 pictures were made or for that matter the original photos that were used to make it

[mckitterick]

this is far more than “random person in 2005ish creates surreal visual narrative” - let’s go deeper down the rabbit hole, shall we?

to Immanentize the Eschaton means to bring about utopian conditions and create heaven on Earth

the phrase is first cited in the Discordian religious text, Principia Discordia (1963), for whom Discord (aka Eris) is goddess:

the first line of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s 1975 The Illuminatus! trilogy: “It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton.”

in Frederik Pohl’s The Eschaton Sequence (1997 - 1999), the human race is caught up in a galactic war between two alien races attempting to immanentize the eschaton

in Ken Macleod's The Stone Canal (1997), one of the chapters is “Another crack at Immanentising the Eschaton”

Crystal Thierry’s (aka the modern Discordia / Eris) narrative lives in esteemed company

THE VERY FIRST STAR TREK SLASH FIC PUBLISHED

“A Fragment out of Time”, published in 1974. Kirk / Spock. page 1 page 2

Oh my dear, sweet children. The Commodore 64 came out in 1982. This was produced on a typewriter and probably mimeographed. And while it may seem funny now, it took more courage to write and distribute this than you will ever  know.

[ohfreckle]

Children, in the olden days fanfiction was written on a typewriter, copied and sent by snail mail. Getting one one of those letters from across the world was every bit as exciting as getting a notification that your favorite writer posted a new fic.

[berlynn-wohl]

It’s been said before, but the fact that this fic begins with the dialogue assertion “We’re by no means setting a precedent” is endlessly amusing to me.

Diane Marchant changed all our lives. May she rest in peace.

[prokopetz]

The precedent line is especially amusing when you bear in mind that “A Fragment Out of Time” is not only the first Star Trek slashfic to be published in a widely distributed magazine: it’s believed by some to be the first slashfic of any kind to be widely published.

[ralfmaximus]

In 1974 it was illegal to send pornography through the USPS. So distributing fic like this via mailed newsletter was literally dangerous. And they knew it.

Babies don't misbehave, they just behave. There's no such thing as a baby being "bad" because they don't understand cause and effect at first and have no concept of others feelings for a while after they do learn that.

A baby is never doing something to upset you. They don't act up to piss you off. They act in the only way they know how, and yes, sometimes the behaviour they're drawn to isn't great! That's why you guide them and comfort.

It's okay to be mad, but you need to remind yourself of this or you'll become resentful. Babies don't misbehave.

And while that is obviously horrifying to me, I think people ho are still in deep denial can sort of pretend to themselves that there must have been a very big battle there, or a massive fire, or one really big bomb. The 'oh we were fighting Hamas/Hezbollah' bullshit can somehow be wielded to stay in that deep denial.

So I think they should be showing more shit like this:

Like, this makes it pretty clear that it's every house. Systematically. Can you convince yourself that Hezbollah was in EVERY house? For real? Or is it time to start facing that the IDF is deliberately going from house to house destroying a civilization?

Additionally you can see that basically none of the vegetation between the houses was destroyed. This was a targetted destruction of houses, not a clearing of obstacles in a warzone.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

There are only hands that feed her, and hands that do not.

This is compelling. Consider me fucking compelled.

Final shot is the bird hearing, but not seeing, the sound of a .32 ACP pistol, and flying away in shock

I think it’s only right to reblog my online legacy to my current post-transition Tumblr blog.

Okay but I get this. All of you worms who have things blocked on your wifi or whatever and have IbisPaint this is how you do it

Open IbisPaint go to a canvas (any canvas, or make. a new one)

Select the font tool (if you don’t know what or where that is, press the tool icon (normally a paint brush or eraser) and press the T button

From there you should be able to create a text box (writing is not important…). Find the font button and add a new font. I can’t remember what it’s called but you’ll know when you see it

It’ll automatically search for you “free fonts.” Do not follow this. Your app is misdirecting you. Instead search up whatever it is you’re looking for in the search bar, and that should work

Knowledge should not be trapped behind bars, bend and break them until you can grasp it
