Lakeswhere

This is my primary blog but i dont use it too much: follow/interact with lakeswhere for content, it’s far less angry. Formerly a marvel blog. But then Marvel got bad. And I’m at an age where I cant bitch about politics on other platforms without risking my job.

Hello all, 

I forgot to share this, but I am no longer vibing with marvel, and whatever else was on this blog before so I just moved myself to --> lakeswhere

This blog is more or less going to be inactive but it’s my primary blog so I won’t delete it because I don’t want to lose connection with my mutuals. 

Basically, I follow you all with this account but I’m actually messing around on https://lakeswhere.tumblr.com/

ppl being like “abortion is okay only if you took all the “correct” measures first or if you were impregnated non-consensually” SHUT UP! abortion for “sexually promiscuous” people and sex addicts and ppl you call sluts and whores and people who have one-night stands and every single person who had sex because they felt like it! you do not have to reach a quota of suffering to “deserve” an abortion. abortion is not something you earn. abortion isn’t a moral thing like you protestants like to think it’s a fucking right and everyone deserves access to it and they don’t have to prove that they deserve it. pregnancy is not a punishment for sex and every single person deserves the right to terminate a pregnancy regardless of how they became pregnant. shut up

I’m really annoyed with the internet woobification of batman 2022’s riddler because it fully misses the point of the entire movie to almost concerning degree

[figofswords]

Ok. So. Basically what it comes down to is that The Batman (2022)’s Riddler is a fairly obvious (at least to me)  stand-in for the very real-world phenomena of young white men who feel isolated and personally victimized by society, who turn to the internet to feel less alone, and who are preyed upon by domestic hate groups who validate and weaponize their feelings and turn them into genuine white supremacists and neo-nazis and armed insurgents who march on Washington DC to violently protest democracy. Initially, the Riddler targets the corrupt, using the internet as a means to further spread his rhetoric to disconnected white men like him, but by the end of the movie he’s bombing flood walls and sending militarized followers to assassinate Bella Réal, a young black mayoral candidate who wishes to bring real systemic change to Gotham. This reveals the truth and the hypocrisy of his mission, which is that he’s not really trying to effect change—he’s lashing out and tearing down a world that he feels has victimized him, personally, and he’s doing this while trying to pull others into his violence. He’s a normal looking guy, with a normal job. A nobody. Someone who could be anyone, who could be someone you know, and meanwhile he’s online encouraging paramilitary violence and committing acts of domestic terrorism. This is how hate groups function in real life. It’s not a subtle allegory. The fact that a truly alarming proportion of internet fandom has, after seeing this movie, managed to miss the very obvious messaging and choose to reduce him to just a funny little guy who has a crush on Batman and just wants a little attention is, frankly, concerning to me because of what it means for peoples’ ability recognize hate group recruitment in real life.

It simply must be said. A major (or even the main) reason that american city planning is so atrociously bad, and continues to be that way, has a everything to do with racism in America. Cities do not want easy transit to all parts of the city, because the city is designed with the intention of keeping white people separated from black people. This exists not only in the lack of decent public transit, but also to the dominant form of transit in the USA: the car. Setting aside the fact that cutting up a city with highways is always a poor design choice that worsens life for everyone in the city, you may notice that these borderline impossible to traverse, noise machine, air quality killing, auto insurance payout generating death trap roads tend to conveniently isolate the portions of the city where everyone except fairly well off white people live, thereby not only making the city environment significantly worse in general, but also actively preventing any sort of integration of various communities in a way that is uniquely difficult to work around.

As if that wasn't enough of a clue, the often scarce public transportation itself can serve as a further means of isolation, by acting not as a dedicated transit network for inhabitants of the city to wherever they wish to go, but a means of transporting poor minority workers to and from work, completely out of sight of the white upper class, who often wouldn't be caught dead on public transit. This particular failure of design isn't necessarily racist, it's a nearly universal trait of American public transit that has to do with the fact these systems were designed exclusively with the idea of transporting poor people who can't afford cars to work, and not to facilitate movement across the city no matter the destination. This is why american cities often have fairly minimal train systems with immense rail line transfer hubs near where the majority of non-car owning commuters work: they're optimized for capitalism, not convenience.

THE BATMAN (2022) 🦇

[i-am-justbeth]

Can't stop thinking about Battinson. Never in my life have I understood the "poor little meow meow" thing until I saw this man rock up to breakfast in a massive t-shirt and sweatpants, eat a single blueberry because Alfred told him to, and then put on sunglasses indoors because it was too bright. He tried to wingsuit down from GCPD headquarters, got his parachute caught, hit a bus and a parked car, tumbled through the street, then just stood up and ran away. This man looked like he was on the verge of crying out of sheer awkwardness every time he had to be Bruce Wayne and he still didn't look clean.

He's a dirty, greasy, disgusting little gremlin man and it shows and I love him

Disney’s support of the Don’t Say Gay shit is reprehensible to begin with but I think it’s a little strange that the solution proposed by some people is to yell at Disney until they say they support LGBT people and not question why the funny cartoon company can dictate human rights

[emeraldmercury]

Disney has so much investment in China that this is never going to happen.

[improbablecarny]

China has nothing to do with a Florida-based company funding Florida lawmakers in creating a Floridian bill to appeal to homophobic Floridians in Florida that will be surely used as a template for other home-grown homophobes in other states in the United States of America. Disney is not a poor underdog being stepped on by the boot of a scary foreign shadow government, they are a monopolistic monstrosity that’s been contributing to awful practices and abuses throughout its entire near-century of existence.
