I'm afraid of drawing Darnold without a reference so I drew this for future use. Also, I DON'T EVER and WILL NEVER whitewash anyone purposefully. If it looks like I did, in the past, then I'm really sorry. It may be the lighting in some of my drawings, but still.

Comic books are Jewish-American culture

[thinkherenow]

And never forget that one of the reasons so many Jewish-Americans contributed to comics is because of the antisemitism in much of the creative sector in 20th century America. Many of these highly skilled and creative people ended up in comics because they couldn’t find work in more prestigious and lucrative fields.

[jewishdumbass]

also the same reason so many of them worked in the motion picture industry when it first began; working in film wasnt a respected line of work, so it kinda became a jewish culture, and when film unexpectedly caught on, upper-middle class white christians were quick to erase the jewish influence that the film industry had. also similar to the reason why so many jews in the past millennium worked in finance- in the 1100s it was considered sinful in the christian church to handle large amounts of money, so banking in western Europe was kind of the only profession in which Jews were guaranteed a secure income. because banking was a Jewish thing because it was sinful, when it became a respected profession, the upper-middle class and elites were quick to smear the Jewish involvement in banking as an evil conspiracy to control the world

nice addition thank u^👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼✡️

[ladyloveandjustice]

gonna add real quick that two Jewish men actually created Batman. Bill Finger was uncredited for years, but he is responsible for Batman’s look, backstory, personality,, setting etc. Bob Kane is responsible for the name and that’s pretty much it.

[gehayi]

“In fact, nearly all the great superheroes were created by Jews: Jerry Siegel and Joe (Joseph) Shuster created Superman, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby (Jacob Kurtzberg) created Captain America, Bob Kane (Robert Kahn) and Bill Finger invented Batman, while Kirby, together with Stan Lee (Stanley Martin Lieber) produced a particularly impressive line of heroes such as Spider-Man, The Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the X-Men, Thor and the Avengers. “ –Supermensches.

And more superheroes than those had at least one Jewish creator. For example…

Aquaman? Created by Paul Norris (not Jewish) and Mort Weisinger (the son of Austrian Jewish parents) in November 1941.

The original Batgirl (spelled Bat-Girl), Betty Kane?  Created by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff in 1961.

Dick Grayson, a.k.a. the original Robin? Created by Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson in 1940. And yes, Robinson was also Jewish.

Green Arrow? Co-created by artist George Papp (not Jewish) and writer Mort Weisinger.

Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern? Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell (the son of Jewish immigrants).

Wolverine? Created by artist John Romita Sr. (who’s Italian) and writer Len Wein (who’s Jewish).

Jubilee of the X-Men? Created by artist Marc Silvestri and writer Chris Claremont.  Claremont is Jewish on his mother’s side.

Black Canary? Created by artist Carmine Infantino and writer Robert Kanigher (son of Romanian Jewish parents)  in 1947.

Sam Wilson, a.k.a the Falcon, and Captain America in some continuities? Stan Lee and Gene Colan (whose family name was originally “Cohen”).

T’Challa, the Black Panther? Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

It’s surprising how many superheroes have Jewish roots.

[mundosdepapel]

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned this already but a jewish man also invented what we now call graphic novels. His name is Will Eisner and the most prestigious comic book awards were named after him. He drew the Spirit comics as well as many graphic novels like A Contract with God, New York: The Big City and many many more. He also wrote and illustrated two books about making comics and sequential art. He was a fucking genius of visual narrative, character design and ripping your heart out with his stories.

If I don’t see each and every single one of you reblogging this, I swear to god

It’s been a minute since I posted something to remind old followers and notify new ones of where I stand on this.

[frottinq]

apparently some people who sold hacks for the switch are being charged with 11 felonies. what a complete fucking joke. this is so fucking emblematic of the fact corporations want to destroy our ability to own things that we buy. if you buy something, it can only be sold once. but if you lease it. if you rent it. if you have a subscription service. if your video game is a live service. that's steady income, that's continuous, and that's good for investors, which is good for your stock price, which is the sole reason you exist as a corporation. to raise that line and divy out money to investors.

why shouldn't I be allowed to flash custom software onto a piece of hardware I purchased? because they own the rights to the hardware? okay but I bought it. it's mine. I'm not editing every single one, I'm not reselling a switch with a custom OS, I'm editing something which is MINE.

this is just like how John Deere tried to make the argument that people can't own property, only lease it, and that only companies can truly own property. they did this to justify their tight controls over farmers being ALLOWED to REPAIR their FARM EQUIPMENT.

corporations want you to be a constant supply of money, they want every fucking dollar you have, and then they want more next quarter. it is not, never will be, and can never be enough for these institutions, and this economic system.

Disney vs. 7 early fairytales 

[calanthesfeuillemort]

The 1812 version of Snow White is even worse when you consider that the girl was only seven years old in the tale (plus her unconscious body ended up being carted around by the prince until one of his servants accidentally woke her up).  Also, in The Little Mermaid, the mermaid’s unable to speak because she had her tongue cut out >__<

But I’d love to see faithful adaptations of the original tales.  Especially Bluebeard.  We need a Bluebeard adaptation.

[maliceandvice-deactivated201512]

Actually, the original-original pre-Grimm Brothers’ stories that were passed around Europe via oral tradition are nowhere near as violent as the Grimm’s made them. Cinderella’s stepsisters were never ugly and kept their eyes, Snow White’s mother was not even a villain (instead a group of bandits were), and instead of spending the whole story napping Sleeping Beauty outwitted a dangerous bandit leader, wouldn’t let him sleep with her, and saved herself. 

The original oral stories were radically changed by the Brothers Grimm to fit their personal and political beliefs. Most notably, they often added in female characters solely for the purpose of making them evil villains and took away most of the heroines’ agency and intelligence. Both brothers belonged to a small fanatical sect of Catholicism that vilified women because of the idea of Original Sin and Wilhelm in particular had a particularly deep hatred of women. The Grimms were actually pretty horrible people. Those cannibalistic queens and ugly stepsisters and the mass amount of violence against women didn’t exist until the Grimms wanted them to. Their ideas stuck so soundly though that we now assume they were in the original tales and that these terrible characters and ideas come out of some perceived barbaric Old World culture. But in truth they’re really the Grimms’ weird obsession with hating women showing through. The original oral folklore focused on the heroes’ and heroines’ good deeds and used them as ways to teach cultural norms and a society’s rules and encouraged girls to be quick-witted and street-savvy instead of passive princesses, and the Grimms promptly stripped that all away. 

[thestoutorialist]

“Grimms Bad Girls and Bold Boys” by Ruth Bottingheimer is an excellent book on this

[sharp-sparks]

Something to add to my reading list.

[seriesofnonsequiturs]

So this guy Franz Xaver Von Schonwerth collected all these fairytales and in the 2000′s they were discovered in an attic and published. Unlike the Grimm brothers, he did not edit anything. The Grimms deliberately edited the stories to fit middle class tastes - they also were trying to create a national identity with these tales as a touchstone. Meanwhile Von Schonwerth’s goal was documenting the Bavarian oral traditions - which is why he didn’t edit the stories in his notes. 

And the stories are weird and intense. Some have the classic “beginning middle end + moral” - some are just “here’s stuff that happened….” 

And some of the endings…you know that story about a weary soldier who performs three tasks and gets to marry the princess? In this book, the soldier is continually rejected by both the king and the princess, so he brings an army to burn down the entire castle with everyone inside. The end, lol.

The other interesting thing is that while the Grimms tales had mostly female protagonists, Von Schonwerth’s have as many boys trying to escape nasty situations as girls. There are boys who cuddle up with frogs to discover that the frogs are princesses, there are boys called “King Goldenhair,” there are brothers fighting, and fathers sending sons out to stop being a burden on the family. In the introduction, Maria Tatar posits that the Grimms, having suffered from being orphans, may have avoided these types of stories. 

Anyway, if you like fairytales, The Turnip Princess book is worth the read.

[brunhiddensmusings]

end the concept that the grimms either invented or had the ‘original’ version

[december-rains]

anything called “the turnip princess” is worth the read 

[rejisol]

Hey fun fact, if you write fuck in the tags your post wont show up in any tag, so uuuuuh heads up

[princessparadoxical]

Also fun fact, adding “porn” in your reblog tags (e.g. “history porn” or “fashion porn”) means that those posts won’t show up when you search your own blog.

[uozlulu]

Wank too. It’s why I changed all my fandom #wank posts to fandom #dramaz posts

[vorpalgirl]

….well this is a psa that needs to go around

[spacemancharisma]

I tagged one of my drawings as “well mark me down as both scared and horny” and it vanished from the other tags until I removed that so… “horny” too, apparently

[nerdgasrnz]

One of my comics wasn’t showing up in tumblr tags until I removed all my tags with the crass language in it. (”shitposting” and “bitch” were the 2 I suspected) Then it conveniently started appearing publicly in the tags.

[raeseddon]

Oh my god this site really did become catholic

[hjbender]

The following tags are (also) no longer searchable:

erotic orgasm bdsm sexual* vagina breasts foreskin suicide semen ejaculation foreplay masturbation

*Note: this includes combined search terms such as “sexual health”, “sexual help”, “sexual orientation”, etc. 

Tags that are still searchable:

white pride white power whites only aryan volkisch n*gger ch*nk and probably every racial slur you can think of, I was too nauseated to look anymore

[sophus-b]

Speaking of the aforementioned censored tags:

sexual is censored but sex isn’t

vagina is censored but penis isn’t

wank is censored but wanker and bugger aren’t

And here’s some additional tags that seem to have been screened:

lolita is censored, because screw you if you want to talk about literature or Japanese fashion

sexing is censored; animal husbandry is risque now

gore, including cw gore, because content warnings are forbidden

pedophile but not pedophilia for some reason; heads up for content warnings there, too

ass… and butt as well, because even if you have to be 13 to get an account on this site, the censorship is apparently operating at elementary school level

bondage, because you are not allowed to quote Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, or Nelson Mandela in the tags now

threesome is censored, but thankfully triad and OT3 aren’t (yet)

oral is censored, including compounds such as oral contraceptive, oral defense, and oral tradition

sadism is censored, (masochism isn’t)

labia, vulva, clit, and clitoris are all censored, but testicles, gonads, balls, cojones, and bollocks aren’t

cunt and pussy are censored too, but again, not penis

cock is though; you can’t “cock an eyebrow” or “hear the cock crow” in the tags

dick, including names such as, for example, Dick Cheney

[mojoflower]

@happyfatcatfornow​ said:  oral is censored? But what about simply discussing dental health and hygiene? This kind of coding is what happens when you put lazy developers in charge of indexing a site. 

Have a look at this insanity.  (And same thing if you do “search’ instead of ‘tagged’.):

Pokeball LBGTQ+ Flag Pins made by TheNerdyQueer

[blackpoeticinjustice]

Being part of the social justice culture or the “stay woke” culture, I usually thought that the main purposes were to:

1) Unlearn what was taught to you

2) Learn what was never taught to you

3) Educate those around you with the knowledge you have

[blackpoeticinjustice]

But you see…

You will come across people that will ask questions that may sound problematic but they just genuinely are confused about the matter and just want to learn

[blackpoeticinjustice]

I had a white girl, sweet as hell, that was curious about why White people can’t say the N-word but Black people can say it.

Now… If this was Black Tumblr/Twitter, y'all wouldve ate her alive and spit her out. Like, why would you ask a question like that????

[blackpoeticinjustice]

I didnt take any offense to the question, because again, you have to educate.

I broke it down simply…

“Bitch was a term used by men against women… If you call your female friend ‘my bitch’, theres nothing wrong with that… but if a guy did the same thing to his female friend, that wouldnt not look too good…”

Then she understood! She doesnt like when men call her or other women bitches but she noticed how women call each other bitches (almost) all the time in a friendly context.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

Some SJW ppl would resort to just straight ridicule. Like relentlessly roast you, and you just wanted to ask a question, get your answer, and just go.

I understand some people would come outta nowhere with smartass comments and deserve that roasting, im 120% for that, but yall really need to learn the difference between those 2 groups of people.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

I remember saying/doing something problematic not too long ago. This guy just went off on me, called me stupid, and vaguely explained why what I did was problematic. When I asked for a more in-depth answer as to why it was an issue, he didnt want to explain, he didnt have the “energy” to explain but had plenty of energy to say what i did was wrong and i was stupid to do it.

To this day, I STILL dont know exactly what was wrong but I am avoiding that action for sure.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

To cut it shortly for yall,

Some people genuinely dont know what they do/say was wrong. Some ask questions to learn and educate themselves. Relax…

Ridicule or slander shouldnt be a first option to everything, if anything, its more counterproductive. Not to mention yall do this for notes and attention on social media.

[glittangrease]

ALL. OF. THIS.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

This shits still relevant

Decided to draw @pinkies-pies‘s HLVRAI ponies, but amped up like the mane 6 from the Tree of Harmony! One of the reasons for this is because I’ve been watching MLP speedpaints and they’re so mesmerizing to watch, and the music is great to listen to while drawing!
