Tag The Main Character

(I assume anon is talking about my tags on this post?)

But yeah no I have literally seen people claim that like, the historical place of Israel (not the state founded in 1948, like the historical empire sacked by the Romans) is a fiction because it’s in the Bible and the Bible isn’t real, but that’s basically like if you learned that Paper Towns by John Green was fictional and decided that the USA isn’t real. Like, Jerusalem and Rome are real places with ancient history that housed empires. And they are also places today that you can play Valorant in.

And if you’re Western Christian, especially American Christian, you’ve become very used to the way that the iconography of the Bible being decoupled from any actual location and are familiar with it as metaphor, to the extent that there is literally an American religion that decided that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri. And so when Jews go “no Jerusalem’s real. It’s right here and my ancestors were from there” Jews get a “yeah, suuuuure buddy” from gentiles and a bunch of jokes about how it was promised to them 3000 years ago, because acknowledging Jerusalem as a historical place is seen as tantamount to Biblical literalism.

For Americans, I would argue the date that begins history isn’t actually Jesus’s birth but rather sometime between ~1619-1776, when the U.S. was first being settled. You’ll notice that Hellenization and the Ottoman Empire aren’t seen as colonial because they were there before “the colonial world” and therefore their borders Just Are, and they don’t come as a product of history or anything.

As if we wouldn't choose normal sleep if we could.

Because when I hear someone say "This person is problematic!!!" My first thought is "Okay did this person say something bigoted like 7 years ago and hasn't done it since? Did this person do something fucking stupid and edgy when they were a teenager? Was this person a bitch to an ex friend like 10 years ago? Does this person just like or write about an edgy ship?? Have they apologized and have proved that they haven't done stupid asshole shit since??"

"Or is this actually a super problematic thing like like they're fucking pedophile, a domestic abuser, or someone like JK Rowling where due to the sucess of their creative work they are actively using their fame and wealth to fund a genocide of a minority group?"

What I said that if someone said some bigoted years ago and hasn't done it since, it's not the same level of problematic as someone like JK Rowling who is actively and proudlu funding the fucking genocide of people like me.

I mentioned that as extra added point to the overall topic of discussion. I can read. I know very well what this post is about. To have a discussion is to bring in extra points that are related to the topic. What I brought to the table is the discussion of about the wider problem of cancel culture because we have a serious isse of punishing the exact progress we fight for with our lives.

When I say "bigot" I'm using it as an umbrella term for all forms of bigotry. That includes all racism, all forms of aexism, all forms of queerphobia, all forms of zionism, all forms of ablism and all forms of anti-semitism.

I literally belong to serveal minority groups and I do agree with you that no individual ever owes any bigot forgiveness, but at the same time, there's a discussion to be had about how we punish the progress we fight for with our lives. That's the problem with cancel culture. Cancel Culture sees us as tools to use to justify harassment campaigns and that's not a good thing. And then we're tossed aside and harrassed ourselves if we make our own decision to forgive people if we feel like they earned it.

The more bigots who they're horrible pieces of shit and make an active effort to change and deprogam themselves. In my eyes one less bigot is one less bigot. They can never take away the hurt and pain they caused, but them changing is collectively a good thing for society overall.

People didn't give up their lives for us have any shred of civil rights to be sitting on a screen at home harassing someone who said something bigoted years and years ago and hasn't since instead of going outside and making actual change and progress for ensure we have rights and we KEEP them.

I have directly and very openly risked my life to protest for my community. I'm attending a college where a trans woman jumped from the 4th floor at the library during the busiest time of the day. Everyone knew someone who was there or they were there themselves. I wasn't there to witness it but the giant red screens on all the campus screens detailing why campus would be completely closed for days to allow for a mourning people I have actual nightmares about.

I imagined how funny it would be if fox attended to a parent teacher meeting instead of wolf pretending to be the mom and how he would take the role too seriously😭😭 he obviously cares about his looks so he would wear something fancy shmansy to grab everyone's attention in the scene IMO...

But then my friend also countered: is it truly Death of the Author if you take to heart Rowling's words that support and love for the franchise means you support her views?

*She* might claim it’s supporting her ideals, but the actual fans are strongly against that. It’s not the author’s right to say that if you enjoy this work, you also support this. There’s nothing about transphobia in HP. That’s a stupid opinion for her to have.

I dont think we talk anough about how Wolf, Aside from everything that makes him... Wolf.. is actually a good father ! Nit necessarily a good father figure but as a dad, he takes his role really seriously and all. Like when one of his boys is sad, or feel unwell, he's ready to cancel everything he planned, even the most perfect plan to catch rabbit, just so send time with him and make sure he's okay. Also in that one episode where the boys get lost and Wolf is very worried, he's all like "my baby boysss 😭😭 I could do anything to have them back😔" and so he does. Idk I find this touching. Maybe its because I dont have a good father figure that I think that, but idk i find this so sweet. When I first started watching, I thought "oh yeah, a fat old grumpy single dad, what a cliché" yeah but hey, at least he cares about them <:3 ?

he might not show it properly but he truly cares for wolf and the boys outside of his own agenda (and he got better as the show progresses)!!

Little surprise for my dear
