Sick Sad World

randomly stumbled upon this post by a theater in omaha, nebraska about their production of frozen & may have wept a little. they actuallyyy stood up for her! they did not let racist comments go ignored. they did not try to ""be nice"" by offering excuses to court the racists. they even called out potential complaints of inaccuracy as the racist tool they are. like! the bar is in hell so it just felt nice to see this & i wanted to share. the actress is named monica weber!

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!!! you would be astonished at how hard doing something like this- at standing up for what's right and not cowering in the face of racism and pressure- is for regular degular people, let alone businesses! I appreciate this!

And it's wild because she's like, light af. So it's not even like it's a "oh her skin color doesn't match" no they just deadass didn't want a Black woman playing that character. Doesn't matter that Anna's actress is in a whole wig, nope, that's proper! Goofies. Thank you for sharing this with me.

here's a link to his Spotify and the link above is his youtube.

when the game gets released, I'll post more links 💙

There's like no other digital artists in my small town's art community and Ive used it for 6 years sooooooo

Wish me luck on teaching a group how to bang out a digital painting in less than two hours while trying to cover all the most useful tools 🫠

I'm such a perfectionist with digital nowadays its so HARD to be rough on an iPad compared to traditional sketching but here's the angry cat we'll be making 🤣

Being a trans woman should never be a justified reason to hate biological women and other genderqueer people

Not justified to hate ANYONE

Bullying people is not justified because you havent figured yourself out

Tormenting people is not funny just because you use it to hide your own insecurity

The show is just misogyny wrapped in shiny graphics and missed potential

The character with the most screentime and fandom favorite being the male abuser is so frustrating

It just doesn't make sense.

The sentiment alone is already controversial as it is, we don't need more rhetoric explaining that trans women/transfemmes have this innate desire to target non-men because of their own insecurities.

At the same time though, it truly is an issue. Misogyny is something that dominates a fair bit of queer culture; I mean one such example I can think of is gay men who are explicitly misogynistic to their female friends. The conversation is already there waiting to be had.

there's a canonically queer character who gets little to no development. the focus is on a male abuser and the plot bends to his will (like wasn't jax supposed to have died earlier in the guns episode? maybe i counted wrong but i wouldn't be surprised if he magically gained a heart back), women get sidelined and ignored... black female characters get either completely ignored and tossed out (queenie) or their suffering is mostly ignored (gangle). when a female character isn't perfect she's hated (ragatha) but when a male character is horrible and straight up misogynistic, nobody gives a shit.

The diversity, equity, and inclusion is certainly in shambles. All courtesy to Tumblr's predominantly white userbase!

And the worst part is that people like it. They're quite happy with that and wouldn't change a thing, can't think at all in their smooth brains about what it would like if other demographics had the spotlight, or if THEY were instead the butt of every joke.
