i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.

the real corruption was the friends we made along the way

being a brown girl and growing up w white friends was so painful, when i have a daughter im going to do everything i can to make sure she grows up with other brown girls 

there’s so much shame and humiliation in being a brown teenager surrounded by white girls. when i went through puberty it wasnt same as my friends

Literally almost every comment is white people going “yeah I’m blonde buuuuuut…” or “I’m white and I blah blah blah “ like damn nobody cares wtf y’all look like, for once stop talking over WOC!!! Not every narrative is yours to interject// claim!!!

it’s sad that OP /LITERALLY/ said she was uncomfy by body hair activism that doesn’t include women of color, and these people just can’t fucking stop derailing to make themselves feel better. if the post makes you feel guilty then maybe shut the fuck up and reblog without popping your unwanted opinion i, and adjust your body hair activism accordingly so you DON’T fall under the umbrella that op said to simplify their own words and not single any particular person out. same thing every single time and even after over ten years on this site people still take everything minorities say so goddamn personally.

And they don’t have a culture that romanticizes working yourself to exhaustion and beyond *year round*.

you know what's going on with lil nas x is persecution, right. it's not "just" internet trolling—he's only 21 and being targeted by SITTING SENATORS for his art. this is textbook persecution, complete with the coalescing of religion and political power, and the fact that he can fire off meme-y one liners doesn't change that! fucking hell! it horrifies me how this is being played off for laughs, even by leftists and "we are the daughters of witches you couldn't burn" crowd. it's terrifying and the actual, bodily threat to him is VERY REAL regardless of how funny his responses are.

I love the generational gap between emoji usage. Anyone over 50 sees 🙃 and thinks "silly time! whee 🙃", whereas the rest of us immediately hear, verbatim, "they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would ne--"

Flying the flag upside down is a distress signal

at the risk of being cringe with everything going on — this week, the last six months, the past five years — i keep thinking about that one quote from the great gatsby

“they were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

no one ever talks about gimli being not even slightly tempted by the ring. motherfucker had no hesitation just walked up with his axe and immediately tried to wreck it. obviously that didn’t work but like, the ring had zero visible effect on him. amazing… gold sickness in the line of durin WHOMST?? not in gimli son of gloin

He wasn’t going to let himself be embarrassed in front of all these fucking ELVES

it really is so so fuckin funny that padme died of just a broken heart while hooked up to 6 billion high tech medical instruments 

general grievous is basically two charred muscle cells rescued from a dead body and reconstructed into a whole ass biomechanical monster but we can’t keep miz amidala from being diagnosed with Terminal Sad,
