for those who come after

but you know what, i’m mad, it’s another air raid alert and soon there will be another shift of 7 (at best) hours without electricity — so i’ll do what i want because clearly most of you need real bad reality check

every headed rivalry fan, instead of mistreating victims of russian aggression and complaining on tumblr about how you’re “upset” about people “not getting show’s point” when they don’t want to be triggered by yet another one russian propaganda, should have spent more time speaking up about WHAT their beloved russian culture and its so called descendants did to ukraine this winter

but as we know their political activism stops only when fictional queer people suffering, real ones are a big no-no.

if you emphasize more with fucking fictional character than with dozens of cold, starved, sleep deprived, ill, tired, scared and absolutely desperate living people — you are full of shit and you failed as a human being

popularize and explore cultures of nations that were genocided by russia, instead of romanticizing and normalizing genocidal regime and culture that they stole and appropriated from lots of different countries

spread awareness instead of this shit about us being mean because the fuck your think people are when they’re genocided? of course we’re mad

it’s -15 C, but will be even worse next weak, up to possible -30 C

how do you think i fucking feel right now reading your posts, seeing these dumb fucking edits when i muted their names, fandom hashtags and everything i could and i STILL get this shit on my page when i try to calm down?

russians are bombing our infrastructure, mostly focusing on electricity and civilians, as usual, to be honest, but now it’s winter. it’s snowy and icy and our workers can’t fix stuff as fast as they could’ve in summer. also they do double bombing usually — they hit second/multiple missiles or drones in 10 minutes after first strike just to kill more

shops and grocery stores aren’t working like before either, you can’t just go there and get warm — they have same electricity as us. they have generators, yes, some of them do, but gas and fuel aren’t spawning nearby, right? and for ordinary people… good fucking luck bro. in kyiv lots of houses already don’t have water. any. water. and no heat. not even talking about kharkiv odesa or dnipro with daily massive shelling

thanks to russians! maybe we should make another fucking post with that bloodstained flag proudly placed there, on a ship post about characters from that damn show? maybe more “i love his russian! should learn myself some phrases too! :)”? what do you think? /neg

we don’t have much electricity to work, to do stuff, to even keep houses warm, because for some houses who aren’t even using electrical heating — you need a tiny pump that keeps warm water circulating in pipes. so without it you’ll get as close to cold death as you can

so yeah, that’s what we — annoying and woke ukrainians! how dare we??? — think of when you’re bringing up that shit on our fyp when they actually get a few hours of electricity and we decide to lighten up our mood, or read news, or just check what’s going on when we were offline for 36 hours

this and how many of you easily slipped in learning russian, listening to russian music (btw with that you actually sponsored russian army and they monetized your views/listens of a song, so yeah, keep doing that shit! good job!/neg) or in general falling for the most plain, straightforward and simple russian propaganda — “we’re so, so poor, we can’t fix our fuckass terroristic regime- actually, we don’t fucking care about it as far as we’re not the ones suffering, bring that all to ukrainians, kazakhs, georgians, latvians, lithuanians, crimean tatars and every other group, force them all to go through ethnic cleansing, force them to work for free, mass assassinate their scientists and cultural workers, ban their language, steal their culture, synthetically organize famine to control and use them as animals, just until it’s not us — we’re just running away without any protests, crying how actually poor we are for not being able to do anything, because it actually implies we have to care about what WE did and what we DIDN’T do when we had to act!”

and you all fucking fell for it

easy

simple

and very fast

so yeah, when you were like “oh god, who could’ve even thought fascist aren’t total evil?! who could’ve bought it?!” — the answer is you

you bought and ate evil up from a fucking silver platter because it’s labeled as queer media

btw book was written in 2017

and russia attacked ukraine in 2014 :) so yeah

author didn’t care for us either, because what’s important than genocide victims suffering for decades?

portrayal of cool, mysterious, deeply, deeply hurt gay guy, who “hates the regime!”, but does absolutely fucking nothing to change it

so yeah, you debate on such high fucking matters when you have clear troubles grasping on basic. damn. history. that’s happening in real life, real time, with real consequences and with real people. that’s what you are.

the least you can do is stop complaining about our “xenophobia”, “fake activism” and “wokeness” (use your damn brains for once instead of making analysis about nothing burger character and absolutely tone dead historical background that is an insult to me personally and to lots of ukrainians AT THIS FUCKING MOMENT and pay attention to real history and real fucking people)

or idk learn how to be a fucking grown up and at least keep your tolerance for imperialism to yourself

if a fictional character is russian and lives during Russia’s military aggression against another country, and the work never addresses their thoughts or position on that war in any way, it automatically reinforces an already existing space where russians are not expected to reflect on the criminal actions of their state or their fellow citizens.

At the same time, it reassures russians — through foreign media — that the world also doesn’t see this as their problem.

If you believe that giving a fictional character a stance on their country’s military invasion "isn’t important", or that “there’s no reason to bring it up” because the story is just about their everyday life, then it’s hard to expect anything more responsible from real people.

“This is just a story about the struggles of an ordinary german dude during World War II — without touching on war or nazism, because he’s just a civilian and his personal life is already difficult” — i hope the analogy speaks for itself.
