Attempting to locate a new Greek restaraunt using my gyroscope

a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

“Gender is a social construct” really ought to mean you are what “we” say you are, get back in line.

There's a certain framing these types use that I find fascinating. Starved. You were starved for a depiction of girlhood (in anime). Like you subconsciously realize this content already exists across many mediums, but you're starving for content specifically from a specific country and you are mad at them for not having your to-go box ready. I'm starving because I want pizza but oyu keep putting peppers on it! I don't like peppers, I'm hungry! There's nothing to eat!!

I heard the dub of that anime sucks dog balls from @merrikiwi

I don't want to understand this type of anime fan just because everything they say sounds like ridiculous prattle from a person who just turned 20, went to college for the first time, and had their eyes opened to an entire world that exists beyond them, but is stuck in that, instead of realizing that, yeah, everybody else knows that shit too. You're not special. And no one cares.

Giving it a bit of thought, I think it ties in to the progressive psychological need to constantly be advancing. Remember how every female-lead superhero movie was suddenly the FIRST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER to have a female protagonist. There’s this desire that everything is always progressing towards their ideal world, even if the thing that work is doing isn’t innovative at all. What’s really strange is how this leads to them completely ignoring works in the past that were progressive for their time and were better overall than the slop dropping today. Because the past is always bad, I guess.

The sheer roundness of this kitten must be admired.

Every reblog = one pound of tea in the harbor

realizing that the online sphere and especially tumblr is NOT a good sample for ‘what everyone thinks’ is so, so, so good for your mental health and moral OCD. i swear to god. realizing that you don’t have to live your actual life like you’re being hunted for sport because the average tumblr user will hunt you for sport for wording something slightly weird or engaging in the wrong stuff or whatever is so incredible. like no you’re actually not fucked up and evil for not donating or for watching that one indie cartoon or questioning a post that everybody is agreeing with. that’s just tumblrs georg making you feel that way

YOU BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY YOU
