What is this thing

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

i don’t understand what this post is saying, why would i be leaving the theatre with uneaten turkeys. where did i get them from. what the fuck was i talking about.

political theater please guys

this is so petty and hypocritical but I get so annoyed by fictional depictions of people getting drugged or roofied because they always read as people bullshitting something they have no experience with, but then if you asked me to describe it better I’m just like. well I don’t fucking know. on account of the drugs.

actually I think if I were writing about someone getting roofied I’d have a full chapter of blacked out bars with a few sentences of readable text here and there. the publisher would be annoyed.

the thing about all the handwringing over the deaths of the Romanov children in particular is like. oh, so you think it's bad when kids die due to factors entirely outside of their control, like the social status they were born into? i wholeheartedly agree with you, we should end any system of government that sacrifices the lives of children born into peasant classes, which necessitates killing the entire royal family including the kids. oh? oh, okay, you were arguing for the literal exact opposite thing to happen. i see. and just to double check, you said kids dying due to the circumstances of their birth was a bad thing?

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

the "empathy fatigue" stuff is also very revealing because when you examine health professionals' self-reporting on the matter there is a specific type of person they describe losing empathy for- unsurprisingly, it's people with particularly chronic health issues and disability, drug users, people who "refuse to take care of themselves" and especially anyone with a health condition perceived to be "their own fault". very often what they describe as "empathy fatigue" is actually just the mask slipping on the seething contempt they already held

“supporting neil gaiman isn’t as bad as supporting jk rowling because he isn’t using his money to hurt trans people and he doesn’t seem bigoted!” is a real take i’ve seen and i am going to blow a gasket. “he doesn’t seem bigoted” He raped and trafficked women. Paying for his works and engaging in fandom for them is giving him money and good publicity that he uses to curry good favor with the masses and silence his victims in ongoing legal battles. You are enabling a rapist and abuser.

just because he is not funding legislature to harm victims of sexual assault and trafficking en masse does not mean that there is no one harmed by him gaining publicity and money. show some compassion to the women he has hurt and disengage with his works. “just pirating” and “just writing/reading fanfic” is still engaging, especially if you are posting publicly about them. move on.
