Storra's Screaming Corner

You do not get to profit, financially or attention wise or another way, off of a *potentially* queer jew whilst we are banned from pride events.

We do not know if she was questioning her sexuality but ultimately straight or if she was actually queer because she was killed for the crime of existing as a jew before she could come out. Queer rights obviously matter. Anne Franke is not the person you should be using.

You need to protect alive queer jews. You need to love all jews, not just the dead ones.

"But they banned zionists not jews", they banned jewish organizations, who refused to say they disavowed israel. That's like asking a local Chinese diaspora group to disavow the CCP or they can't be at pride.

The only cases of restrictions against Jewish groups at Pride events occurred at Rome (which was universally decried) and Australia at their Mardi Gras event (which was immediately reversed).

There is no effort to ban Jewish groups from US Pride events.

Montreal Pride (it only counts as banning them if it's in America's pride month, I guess- note how they restricted it to AMERICAN pride events)

London Trans pride

That took 3 minutes on Google to find. Imagine if you had actually fucking cared

And it happened again last year:

Here's an article about how JEWS are feeling about being banned from Pride:

Even banning all zionists is…not good.

These same events arent questioning if every attending member is misogynistic, racist, transphobic, biphobic, intersexist, ableist, classist, a republican and so on.

Pride has not required people to write dissertations on their world views in order to attend.

Instead, the people that are causing issues are run out, and the people who arent actively causing issues are free to participate as long as theyre not causing issues.

This isnt because these problems dont matter-its because its impossible to make sure every single person attending pride is on the same page. So instead, if people arent causing active issues you let them be and carry on.

Treating zionists as uniquely more threatening than misogynists, racists, transphobes etc is antisemitic.

If someone is causing a problem, then yeah they obviously shouldnt be allowed to attend. Im not saying any bigotry should be tolerated or allowed at pride.

But it you arent interrogating everyone attending on all of the issues then selecting one group out to hold to that standard is not about human rights, its just bigotry at that point.

This is an argument I would make about any group. Case and point: I dont fucking like christians. Ive seen “jesus loves gays” at pride more than once. Personally? Not a fan. But! I respect their right to be there so long as they arent causing active issues. I simply avoid them. If you were to be like ban all christians Id still be here being like no, lets not do that. They should get to attend so long as they arent proseltizing or creating problems.

i need the akeshuake fandom to know that this is the dynamic black condor and red hawk have in the show featherman is based on. the fic writers were not joking they really are that gay.

"Circumstances are what dictate your choices" is the linchpin of his story and by extension the rest of the game's justice philosophy.

If you want to fix the world's problems, you need to address both. Punishing people for bad choices doesn't erase the circumstances that led to them making those choices in the first place— that's why Yaldobaoth is wrong. Warping circumstances to the extent that you take away people's agency to even make choices— that's why Maruki is wrong.

Those are the two main antagonists, and it's no coincidence that Akechi is central to both of their plans. Focusing on one concept while ignoring the other creates a neverending prison where nothing actually gets better. The middle ground —reconciling circumstances and choices as intertwined— is a necessary step to actually fixing things.

Everything comes back to this. Consider Mishima, who never managed to make the right choices until he was safe from Kamoshida's abuse. Or Sumire, who never managed to heal because Maruki took away her agency. Who would blame them for that?
