kind of fascinated by the multiple of posts in the face of the orientalist influence in scotts design that seem to be under the impression the racism is an active choice and that they need to go scorched earth on any of scott's content they've ever touched because they 'didn't know he was a racist!!!'. or, also people getting really mad that this is being done to 'attack' and tear down scott. take my hand. look at me a minute. people do racism on accident all the time and it is unavoidable for the people its directed at AND the people it isn't, because it is something systematic and woven in to the fundamentals of pretty much everything up to this point. it is there, it will be there, it has been there. yes, even in your funny non serious minecraft series, because it involves people who are alive and have been influenced by the world around them, which has a lot of racist and orientalist things to draw from. pointing out the racist nature of scott's unknowing orientalist design choice is happening because the conversation is important to Everyone being able to recognize its influence so that more things can have y'know, less orientalism and racism. whether that means scott changing his design or for you in the future to have the knowledge that when it comes to conglomeratizing styles for aesthetics that invoke the idea of being exotic and putting that eagerly with a promiscuous character type in a scenario that is supposed to be greek but is just vague gesturing to any countries around, hey, that could be coming from orientalist stereotypes ingrained in there from the public view. there are things that would never occur to you as something to do on purpose that are still orientalist and/or racist. that are still orientalist or racist. it's very hard to talk with people who would go 'i would NEVER/they would NEVER' when confronted with reasoning, because it's viewed as only on purpose action or like, the sign of unredeemable evil. this kind of shit will come from like, most people you could speak to in a grocery store? no one can avoid it like that, only fix their behavior and dismantle the things that encourage it. which to be clear because this is tumblr dot com, i am saying racism Is Bad, so you should learn how to identify and move forward from things that suck to do or say in yourself and other people to make it generally suck less ass for those it's directed at, not like, were all a little racist so its okay yayyy. improvement intent. if people don't want to fix their shit then yeah that's A Racist not just Being Racist yk. but anyway. orientalism. scott smajor. im sure this is not the first or last thing scott has or will do as a white scottish man that sucks for anyone who is used to having to pick up on racist or orientalist visuals, and i do not mean that as an insult, just as fact. all of your favs have probably had and have similar ideas impressed on them that they don't know is orientalist, im sorry if that's a shock and extra sorry to those very aware already. you can't walk out of the influence that is so ingrained in the world by loudly denouncing you'll NEVER intact with someone like THAT again, only the Good Ones because You Can Tell and they aren't doing Actions. like no, nope. i have bad news for you. come have a ponder and consider dissecting what influences came from where to make them recognizable and reducible instead of chest clutching for your blorbos honor or your sense of morally good taste. it doesn't need to be a massive blow up situation, it is literally just pointing and going hey do you see that? because I see that

and he loved those fucking kids. he spent too long on that aircraft carrier being an actual scientist, THAT was his problem. flying him to and from sanfran would've taken too long but they wouldn't have needed the amnesia drugs and the sedation anymore, just put his ass in front of those kids again and make him look them in the eye and see if he can still say no without throwing up in his mouth

#and you know what? maybe he would've said it still. but he WOULD have thrown up#and it would've eaten him alive and genuinely genuinely it would've ruined the rest of his miserable life on earth#more than the apocalypse he signed the planet up for ever could#grace can only distance ignore avoid his way out of his problems so far#make him look cáceres in the eye. make him TRY to teach her everything he knows for those three days#wrap his hand around the trolley lever grab him by the hair and force his head to look at what he's doing

The thing that really gets me about grace. And something that I also see misinterpreted a lot. Is that he’s not humble. He’s not modest. He doesn’t act the way he does out of humility or not wanting the spotlight. Ostensibly he is a drama queen and wants to be seen and he wants attention. Why do you think he called a man a staggering waste of carbon. Why do you think he’s Like That as a teacher. Why do you think he jumps at the chance to Be Right. He’s not humble he just deep down actually doesn’t believe he’s special. But he also knows that he has deeply specialized knowledge. He just has enough self hatred to genuinely believe that someone else could do what he’s doing without issue. Even though they couldn’t. He knows that in some corner of his brain but he ignores it because when you set your standards low you’re never disappointed if people dont actually like you

eternally painful that you can't socialize without people expecting you to talk. sometimes I just want to be around. like a cat

as a child I saw princess leia and miss piggy and princess fiona on my vhs tapes and i thought, okay so part of being a woman is like, attacking people. That's an important part of femininity.

the thing they dont tell you about learning to "trust the process" is that you forget and relearn it every single time you make a new piece of art. unfortunately there is no cure either
