I think it's time we start having higher standards for "anti-war" media

People on this website will praise a piece of media for being anti-war and the piece of media in question will have the radical anti-war messages of "war is bad because American soldiers get traumatized in it" and "war is just senseless violence where both sides are fighting for no reason and i don't know why it happens because no one benefits from it" and it will be about a real-life war fought by the U.S. to defend its imperial hegemony where the U.S. military killed 1 out of every 7 of the opposing country's population.

not to be untoward but a lot of US citizens are making the mass murder of iranians about themselves and there's very few polite ways to say "stop centering yourself in every mass casualty event" politely

i actually do think it’s anti-feminist to be fatphobic and yes i do mean that

sick of hearing about "healing crystals" that "cleanse your mind and body of negative energy" i want to know which rocks can hurt you and fuck up your vibe so bad

everyone suggesting uranium isn't wrong but anyone who said "literally any rock if you're willing to resort to violence" are the only people who can get on my level. you're hired.

okay which fandom that sprung up out of nowhere overnight like mushrooms after rain is this a reference to i can't keep up anymore

oh you meant like. that guy from the bible who invented murder. right.

Very many white LGBT people understand the idea that the societal concept that CisHet is the ‘standard’ or ‘default’ state of a human, at best, is a flattened look at the human experience, and worse a dangerous idea that leads to discrimination. Yet not very many of them seem to grasp the similar concept that thinking white people are the ‘default’ or ‘standard’ version of a person also leads to the same thing.

Allowing myself to be perfectly blunt, this post is about racism. Specifically about how y’all can analyze and identify bigotry under the lens of sexual orientation and gender identity; but CANNOT or WILL NOT hear the criticisms of race and racism in the same regard. Please don’t get it twisted.

i actually do think you should draw clocky trans people. no i don’t think they’re a stereotype or caricature. i think that’s a horrible thing to say about real people who exist. i think that’s a horrible thing to say about my friends and my family. i want to see your art of a trans boy with curves and long hair and baby face because that’s me. i want to see your art of a tall trans girl with broad shoulders and facial hair because that’s my friend. stop being scared to draw the people you know.

“I’m not going to draw a clocky trans woman because that’s how TERFs draw them” i don’t think my friends should be forced to only see themselves in artwork made by TERFs and transphobes. They should get to see themselves lovingly drawn by other trans people.

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"
