never wait too long

ah yes because trans men (who went through misogyny their whole lives) are the ones most likely to be misogynists. /sar

It's this piece, titled The Banality of the Banality of Evil. Because on first glance, you're like. Yeah, okay, it's obvious what it's saying. Even nazis, even evil people can appreciate beauty, too. But then you learn its name, and suddenly the interpretation shifts a bit. The idea that evil is banal has in itself become banal. my first response to seeing a nazi on a bench is "oh it's about the banality of evil" and not "jesus christ there's a nazi on the bench."

what I find really interesting is how the way this is drawn (especially considering who drew it) the art style seems extremely deliberate. This type of nostalgic landscape painting is very reminiscent of nazi art and specifically, Hitler's art.

Nazis were extremely judgmental of "entartete Kunst" (degenerate art). Bansky's usual work very well fall into this category! So for him to go for this style of painting in particular is another choice I find very interesting, because I can see some people react to this painting with some variation of "oh, I didn't know he could actually draw! I thought he is a hack but he is a real artist!" - and that is where they would agree with the Nazis.

We need to reflect on when we cry and when we don't, and why. In other words, what does it take to move us? Since many of us have not learned how racism works and our role in it, our tears may come from shock and distress about what we didn't know or recognize. For people of color, our tears demonstrate our racial insulation and privilege."

Omanyte, for @poketcg-art's TCG redraw. I was torn between two cards so I split the difference and took the content of one and the styling of the other. Under the cut is a bonus GBC style pixel version as well as the two original cards.

A vehicle of racism against black men is dehumanization, specifically treating them as violent animals. That experience is shared with most dark skin men, but more specifically Arab men.

A vehicle of ableism against autistic individuals is infantilization. That experience is shared with almost all individuals with developmental disorders, such as those with Down syndrome.

A vehicle of ableism (and saneism) against those with schizoaffective disorders is demonization. But this experience is shared with those with Cluster-B personality disorders such as NPD.

Very few experiences are unique.

But you wouldn’t go to a post talking about the hyper sexualization of black women and tell her to shut the fuck up cause that effects all non-white women and that she’s a self centered bitch for thinking it only effects black women. Cause it’s shitty and nowhere in the post does she imply black women are the only ones affected by hyper sexualization. The acknowledgment that one group experiences something does not mean another group doesn’t.

Unless a post specifically says (like literally says it. Not “well it sounded like you said this”.) that ONLY trans men experience this, then they aren’t fucking saying that.
