Any Anglo LGBTQ publication that publishes clickbait traumaporn about homo/transphobia in non-Western countries, especially Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, without mentioning the role European/American colonizers and capitalists and evangelicals played and continue to play in installing those bigotries is doing de facto imperialism for free
that sure is a word salad you just put on display there
Please explain to me how hardcore radical Islam or the Russian Orthodox Church are the fault of Western Europe.
"Hardcore Radical Islam" - the US overthrew secular, progressive, elected governments in Iran and Afghanistan in the 20th century in the name of resource theft and stopping socialism. The mujahideen, which later formed the basis of Taliban, was directly armed and funded by the US to fight against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union from 1979 to 1989. The CIA and US State Dept. directly funded other fundamentalist wahabbi groups during the Cold War as a way to combat secular socialism and communism. The US is currently funding and arming extremist Islamist groups in Syria as well, such as the al-Nusra Front and Tahrir al-Sham. Saudi Arabia, one of the United States' biggest allies in the Middle East which currently enjoys the generous patronage of the US arms and petrochemical industries and hasn't had a single sanction placed on it in the name of "democracy" despite literally being an absolute monarchy, also spends exorbitant sums to propagate fundamentalist salafist interpretations of Islam, is one of the biggest financial supporters of al Qaeda, and was literally complicit in 9/11. Additionally, the destabilization of Iraq and Syria through U.S. interventions laid the groundwork for the rise of ISIS, which is essentially a U.S. asset by keeping swathes of the Middle East destabilized and staging terrorist attacks that create the justification for further U.S. military presence in the region.
Russian Orthodox Church - the fall of communism in Russia and other Eastern European states essentially devoured the social fabric of those countries and left millions of people to fester in abject misery, crime, corruption and poverty. The Orthodox Church and other religious organizations which had previously been kept in check by the secular socialist governments filled the void left by the collapse of virtually every social safety net that existed during communist rule. The current oligarch-nationalist-Orthodox alliance that rules Russia was directly set up by the U.S. through interference in the 1996 Russian elections to ensure Boris Yeltsin would be elected president over the Communist Party candidate; Yeltsin would later essentially handpick Putin as his successor. A similar pattern can be seen in other former Eastern bloc countries, such as Poland, where the U.S. supported the right-wing, strongly Catholic trade union Solidarity in the 80s, which would later form the basis for Poland's current far right, homophobic ruling party Law and Justice, and Hungary, where the U.S. supported the "liberal" student organization Fidesz, which is today Viktor Orban's fascist anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant ruling party.
Anti-LGBT movement in Romania is literally founded by neoprotestant USA religious folks tho. The Romanian Orthodox church may be homophobic AF, but it's a lazy, satiated wolf most of the time. The neoprotestants organize tho
Entire swathes of neocolonized territory in Eastern Europe, Asia, LatAm and especially Africa have essentially become playgrounds for American "evangelicals" (read: theocratic fascists) to export their venomously anti-LGBT, anti-feminist "movements" after they fail in the States. They take their anger at being made irrelevant and impotent in the imperial core out on queer people, women and religious minorities in the periphery and Global South. Supremely evil shit.

A question mainly for USAmericans:
Did you ever had a world map in your room when you were a child?
Yes (I'm USAmerican)
No (I'm USAmerican)
Yes (I'm not USAmerican)
No (I'm not USAmerican)
I know this is uncomfortable for the majority of people to acknowledge, but if those parents care about their kids so much why did they choose to have the kid in the middle of war, poverty, or danger? even if they cross the border to get away from those things before having kids, why do they have the kid before knowing their safety of not having to return to the same war-stricken, impoverished, dangerous place is officially secured?
wow I sure hope that, after getting pregnant, nothing bad happens geopolitically for 9 straight months, then 18 years after that!
and if it does, im so happy that my country has immediate access to family planning!
wait a minute, holdup, thats not how this shit works. you cant just pause the existance of a child when turmoil happens.

I will forever mourn Óscar my beloved fat guy, but I can accept his sacrifice if it meant killing Isabela's love interest. Kill him with fire.
You can tell Planetronika was made by a man, and I mean this in the most negative way possible.
Not even the goddamm Winx with their wasp hips have ever made me groan so much at a female character before. At least the Winx were made for the girls, instead of this obvious R34 model made for and by men.
A shame, because the style is good. Not going to talk about Freestyle since it's not my place tho.

So the pilot for Planetronika came out recently and it might be the most style-over-substance thing I've ever seen. Do you want to watch a cartoon that replicates Y2K art stylings, including the racist way that Black and Black-coded characters were drawn? No? Well have you considered that the female protagonist is ditzy and clumsy and multiple shots focus on her ass? And to top it all off the sound mixing sucks and none of the jokes land? They play that one "Butterfly" ringtone and the main character does the Caramelldansen dance so it must be good, right?

found a snake on youtube that legit gets angry and strikes at its owner's laptop whenever markiplier is on the screen
I’m subscribed to that channel. The owner has played multiple other YouTubers to see if the snake just hated Markiplier or was just hostile towards men. Turns out he was fine watching all the other YouTubers he just hated Markiplier specifically 😂
The snake with other YouTubers:
Vs the snake with Markiplier
Tofu the snake! the owner has been running several various experiments based on people's thoughts/theories in the comments, like showing an edited image of Mark (it took Tofu a few minutes to recognize him, but once they did they immediately started trying to attack him) and even bringing in other snakes to see if they react too (none did). so far the consensus is that Tofu just really fucking hates Markiplier
The uploader of those videos/owner of the snake also has a history of animal abuse and neglect that they have been trying to routinely cover up since 2016. Much of the abuse has resulted in her animals dying. She rebrands every few years to avoid the backlash.
#also snakes don’t have enough good vision to strike without smell
This isn’t true, but I get what you’re saying. The likely explanation is that Mark somehow either a) looks enough like a prey item for Tofu to confuse him with a mouse, or b) Mark is moving in a way that signals to Tofu that he is a prey item.
Snakes’ eyesight isn’t that similar to ours, as they primarily function to detect movement. Snakes hunt through detecting chemical signals, heat (if they can see it), vibrations and movement (in that order). They don’t tend to strike at prey that isn’t moving, and this can be why it’s difficult to switch captive snakes from eating live prey to eating frozen/thawed prekilled prey.
I don’t know exactly what Tofu is, but I would assume he’s a Honduran milk snake or some type of rat snake. It would be easier to tell if he wasn’t fully leucistic. Either way, both of these animals feed on rodents in their regular diet, and I guess somehow Mark looks like a mouse.
But the bottom line is that Taylor Nicole Dean somehow thinks it’s funny to watch her snake hit himself in the head at full speed (which, by the way, for faster-striking snakes, is between 70-200 MILES PER HOUR) directly into, what is to Tofu, effectively a glass and metal wall. She shows him flashing images and overstimulating sounds for… what? Yeah, girl, why do you think he tries to leave you every single time you do that?
Snakes absolutely can form close bonds and relationships with humans (and I’m sure other animals, as long as those animals know how to respect the snake — which is difficult when you are ignorant to how they function). My ball python is 8 years old and loves when I take her out and just hold her like a baby. I take her on walks like that. Every time she’s in my arms, she immediately settles in and relaxes her whole body. She asks to come out of her terrarium just to be with me sometimes. It’s really nice and it makes me feel SO loved and special. She has never struck at me besides the one time she escaped and I was frantically looking for her in a corner of a closet I couldn’t reach, and she didn’t know who or what I was. These are some of the ways you can tell that a snake loves you, and don’t ever let anyone tell you they’re incapable of love. The limbic system is responsible for emotion, and there are brain cells in the frontal lobes of Tyrannosaurs that are the same in snakes and some lizards and birds, but we don’t even know what they do, and the frontal lobes are where creativity originates. So snakes do feel, they do love, and they have the capacity to be creative. They are not dumb animals who have some sort of “strange” reflex according to you. Tofu is doing what he knows how to do. He’s not an idiot, he’s a snake that’s being actively tortured and harassed.
By the way, whenever Tofu hits the screen when he strikes, it hurts. It’s like a mini concussion. Snakes who compulsively strike at glass, or who are goaded into doing so, can suffer from dementia and neurological problems later in life. This isn’t a fucking joke.
EDIT: Just want to point out that Taylor Nicole Dean gets new animals every few years, despite the fact that the average lifespans of most of her animals exceed 10 years. Very telling. Also she’s probably gonna rebrand after she gets backlash for this, unless she can maintain ignorance in her comment section as she has managed to do so successfully in recent years. At most she had 30-50 animals and multiple animals were dying near-daily. When people called her out about it years ago, she made videos talking about how she had been trapped in an abusive relationship and was going through heroin addiction, and that hoarding animals was is her coping mechanism. As someone who’s been sober from heroin since August of 2022, this is absolutely obscene and disgusting and I don’t give a fuck who you are or what you’re going through. Stop abusing your fucking animals.
#up to 50???? #what fucking insane actions do you have to do to make up to 50 animals die
Neglect. As far as I know, nearly every single case of animal death under her care has been due to neglect. Those who did not die due to neglect directly did in fact die from illness or equipment malfunction, all of which could have been easily prevented.
She hoards animals in terrariums on metal wire shelves and has all of her heating apparatuses strewn about. Pretty sure almost every room in her house was filled with multiple animals at one point. Fish, frogs, lizards, snakes, tortoises, crabs, a few other inverts I believe, you name it. She admitted herself (in a, what I’m sure is, a now-deleted video) that she would buy a new animal, care for it for awhile, and then it would no longer be exciting to her, and the cycle would repeat itself. So the neglect came from the fact that it is impossible to properly care for that amount of animals at one time, and that she was promptly abandoning said animals as soon as they lost their distracting effect. Many of them just slowly deteriorated, likely dying of a mix of things like dehydration, malnutrition, starvation, improper humidity or heat, or an infection or illness that went unnoticed.
She put some of her pets on a pedestal for her youtube channel and made pngs of them for thumbnails and made them these Big Youtube Stars™️ as if she wasn’t the real star of the channel, but they were. Some of these so-called beloved animals were some of the first to die. She even has the past face of her channel, a longhorn boxfish named Cheese, who only lived for about 3 years I believe, edited into her channel header image. Boxfish are extremely difficult to care for, and I personally don’t know enough about fish to say whether or not Cheese’s death was due to neglect, but we could say, probability-wise, the possibilities don’t look good. Plus, boxfish usually kill other fish in the terrarium along with themselves, as they kind of self-destruct under too much stress and release a pretty strong toxin that has a habit of killing off entire saltwater enthusiast’s tanks. Her other fish cohabitating with Cheese were fine. It’s safe to say it has something to do with her care or lack thereof.
I don’t know how many of her past videos are still up because she keeps rebranding, but I’m sure there are still videos up from other people calling her out about her shit behavior.
EDIT: Totally forgot to mention this earlier, but snakes don’t possess the same cones humans do, and primarily see things in blue. Snakes with heat-sensing pits are able to see heat through an infrared glow, likely making things glow brighter or dimmer depending on the amount of heat they emit. But to snakes, everything is pretty smurf-colored, so light, darkness, shadow and movement are the most visually instigating factors for snake visual feedback. So Tofu is not seeing Mark the same way we see him. He is probably looking at his eyes and nose and to be honest, at a lot of angles, Mark, boiled down to his bare essentials, kind of looks like this:
Looks pretty mouse-like to me.
I did not know about this until now. This is fucking abhorrent.
I know it's important for canon and JKR's ego that Harry was a Gryffindor, but what do you think Severus would have done if Harry was sorted into Slytherin? Like imagine how that complicates his position, cause like - now there are Death Eaters' kids getting chummy with Harry - potentially even Draco Malfoy and Slytherins stick together, so now there are a bunch of kids in his own house giving him the side eye -
Voldemort would have won the war because Harry would’ve learned the true meaning of friendship, and of not having 80 kids when there aren’t even two incomes in the household
Voldemort would have won because Harry being a snake would put almost all his canon allies against him. He goes from Golden Boy to Potentially Voldy 2, specially in the second book.
Dumbledore already treated him like shit as one of his lions, imagine what attitude would he have towards a snake.
Hey everybody,
So, I wanna be clear: I use this page to platform fundraisers specifically for people and causes of Black African descent. We often don't even consider that Black people exist across the globe, and have to deal with the same suffering and political conflicts in tandem with pre-existing antiblackness. Sudan, Congo, Haiti, Cuba, Palestine, etc. I want to use my position to amplify their voices, to give them the spotlight and space to be seen in a world that often neglects their existence.
That being said!
My peers (of all backgrounds) and I have been sharing fundraisers for Gaza for at least three years. And I recognize that that's a while, but folks being tired of hearing about it doesn't prevent suffering from occurring. It doesn't stop people from experiencing horrors under genocide. So often I get asked on my personal page, why no one is listening or helping, and I don't have anything to tell them. I don't know what to say anymore.
Because I see what they're saying, I do see how it feels like my peers and I are basically circling fundraisers between ourselves at this point. I see how the world treats them, and I don't know what more I could possibly say to convince people to care, after everything we've witnessed. What could I possibly say, if that's not enough?
We could use your help. But much more importantly, the people of Gaza could use your help! Even if you can't donate, reblog a campaign post shared by your peers every now and then. Pick one family's campaign and commit to sharing that one, if nothing else. Anything is better than nothing. Everybody on here claims to have some sort of marginalization and struggle that they wish to be witnessed and acknowledged, so I know you understand and empathize.
Anything is better than nothing, y'all. Please.
IF YOU STILL CARE ABOUT GAZA.
ISRAEL HAS JUST CARRIED OUT A MASSACRE THERE ARE MANY DEAD.
I saw torn bodies in front of my eyes inside the hospital I cannot describe how horrific it was.
The attack was close to my little siblings. I am terrified for them. Please skip your daily coffee and donate. Do not forget them after my death.

This Pokemon is good!!
This Pokemon is nice, but nothing more
...I mean, it could be better
This Pokemon is okay…
I have mixed feelings about this Pokemon…
Not bad, but I’m still kinda disappointed…
Well… it could be worse?
I mean, at least it’s better than NOT having a Pokemon, right?

Tympole!! Pretty little baby.
I would prepare a tub for them to swim at home and they could help me garden or something. Probably would call them Sapito. Or Orzuelo.
I would probably evolve him to Seismitoad just to make sure they could defend themselves if they needed to. Imagine going to swim anywhere with your giant frog friend who will make sure you won't drown. Perfect!
porque crees que ha bajado tanto el nivel cultural e intelectual de la joventud? Sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la literatura,la política,los temas sociales vamos
Esto es muy de abuelo cebolleta pero porque claramente no leen libros, leen mierdas de wattpad que luego se publican en papel y se creen que tienen el mismo nivel que la literatura de toda la vida. No se informan de nada, no leen nada sobre política, se miran videos de tiktok o podcast de Youtube. Es una celebración constante de la incultura y de la falta de interés general. Hace unos años pensaba que no era tan así, sino que con las redes sociales se había democratizado la opinión pública y sencillamente la mayoría era imbécil, como ha pasado siempre. Pero hemos pasado de que la mayoría sea imbécil a que esté de moda ser imbéciles y los chavales se nieguen rotundamente a poner en marcha el cerebro. Tienen oxidados los engranajes antes incluso de estrenarlos, es apabullante. Generación de tontos se les está quedando.
Lo de que no leen absolutamente nada si pueden evitarlo es que ya ni hace falta que aplicarlo a libros, ¡también sirve para videojuegos!
He tenido a niños de más de ocho años en bautizos y comuniones pasándome la consola porque "no saben a dónde ir" y quieren que les ayude.
Miro la pantalla. Un personaje de colores chillones que dice "deberíamos buscar en esa cueva". Un mapa que ocupa media pantalla señalando la posición del jugador, con una ruta pintada y una equis marcando una cueva. LA PUTA ENTRADA DE LA CUEVA, ENFRENTE DEL JUGADOR.
Es que ya no es pedirles que sean unos lumbreras que reciten la Odisea en latín, pero joder. Están tan acostumbrados a la gratificación inmediata que a veces ven un obstáculo y se rinden inmediatamente, o se frustran y adiós muy buenas.
Que tampoco me gusta generalizar ni echarles toda la culpa a ellos. La mayoría se han criado con una tablet desde el minuto cero, normal que tengan el cerebro frito. Luego tienes a padres describiéndote las "rabietas" de su niño cuando no tiene el móvil y es un puto síndrome de abstinencia del tamaño de Rusia.
Pero claro, "con el móvil se calma", "sin vídeo no come", "no es para tanto", es que hay gente que no debería tener hijos, joder. Diles que lean junto a sus hijos y te tratan como un gurú hippie de ideas revolucionarias.
To be cautious of Islam when almost all terror attacks are committed in its name and the vast majority of Muslims support sharia law isn't "phobic", racist or anything else. It's simple common sense & pattern recognition.
That's not even taking into account Pakistani grooming gangs (a huge problem in my country that can be traced back to the start of Pakistani immigration over here), the huge amount of rapes committed by illegal Muslim migrants, the ongoing systematic genocide against Christians in Nigeria (following a long & lengthy pattern in Africa & the ME)...
They're not, generally speaking, good people and to support them is to go against women's rights, the victims of pedophilia, the LGBT community's right to exists, Christians/ Jews/ Hindus/ Sikhs etc.
Please do better.
It makes me laugh that you talk about Islam as if it were a hegemonic religious force, when historically the political and religious power in the West has always been held by Catholicism, with the greatest acts of repression and massacres carried out and ordered in the name of preserving and expanding Christianity, including mass killings of Muslims and their expulsion from territories conquered by Christians. Not to mention the current sects derived from Christianity that exist around the world today and that completely disregard human rights. I suppose I don’t even need to bring up Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or the Neocatechumenal Way. Should we include Evangelicals too? Should we talk about the cases of abuse and pedophilia within the Catholic Church in its schools and youth communities?
All Abrahamic religions are misogynistic and homophobic, so I don’t understand why only Islam is singled out when the others are just as harmful and marginalizing. In fact, in my country, whose culture is fundamentally Catholic-Christian, the number of rapes committed by Catholics or Christians is considerably higher than the number of Muslim men, so again I don’t understand your point. Above all, I don’t understand your attempt to instrumentalize a social problem like violence against women for an Islamophobic, classist, and racist discourse, when it has been socially and legally demonstrated that the problem of rape does not lie in religious issues but in male socialization in general. In other words, any man is a potential rapist regardless of his origin or beliefs, because the issue of how he perceives power dynamics in sex does not come from a specific cultural belief but from a patriarchal system that is widespread worldwide. If you want, we can look at rape rates in countries without Abrahamic religions and see how they compare. I can already tell you they range from terrible to absolutely shocking.
Your argument is deeply flawed because it can be applied to any religion. By your logic, associating with Jews, Evangelicals, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, etc., would also be against the rights of women, children, and LGBTQ people. There’s no difference, because in all these belief systems those rights are disregarded, especially in the more fundamentalist communities. I know quite a few Arab and Muslim people and have had good experiences, especially with women, who are the ones I’ve interacted with the most. In Germany I mostly spent time with Turks, and in France I became friends with people from Syria. Maybe the problem is that you need to get out of your racist basement at your mother’s house and start seeing more of the world instead of watching far-right TikTok videos and unhinged Zionists. I suggest that next time you’re going to spout racist nonsense, at least come up with more convincing arguments, because how easy this was has made it boring.
Please do better.
