The person who called 911 and pretended a black man was threatening her life because he politely told her she needs to follow the rules is facing some consequences. But not the right ones.Â
Administrative leave? Thatâs not consequences, thatâs a company trying to cover their ass both from upset customers and also from a lawsuit from her. Benching her instead of firing her is not sending a strong message, itâs riding the fence.
The dog had to be returned? Shows just how much of a focus is on how she treated the dog, instead of how she treated the human.
She might be banned from Central Park for life? Showy PR stunt, maybe even from the right place in heart, but hardly enforceable and doesnât seem like that much of an inconvenience.Â
But in this world where black men are in danger from any encounter from police to either have their lives destroyed or just shot outright, she should not be punished socially for racism.  This is attempted murder. Iâm not saying that lightly, Iâm not saying this as a joke. This woman is walking around free when she should be given the same punishment as hiring a hitman.  Whether the job is completed, she knew that she was calling down the possibility of death or ruined life for the audacity of someone saying that she should also follow the laws.
it'll quench ya!
I still think Moana deserved an Oscar for this part
To me, the moral of Moana is that only women can help other women heal from male violence.Â
The movie starts with the idea that the male god who wronged Te Fiti must be the one to heal her. This seems to make a certain sort of intuitive sense in that I think we all believe that if you do something wrong you should try to make it right. But how does he try to right it? Through more violence. Of course that failed.Â
It was only when another woman, Moana, saw past the âdemon of earth and fireâ that the traumatized Te Fiti had become (what a good metaphor for trauma, right?) and met her with love instead of violence that she was able to heal. Note that they do the forehead press before Moana restores the heart, while Te Fiti is still Te KÄ. Moana doesnât wait for her beautiful island goddess to appear in all her green splendor before greeting and treating her as someone deserving of love.
Moana is only able to restore the heart because Te KÄ reveals her vulnerability and allows Moana to touch her there. Maui and his male violence could only ever have resulted in more ruin.
@i-want-cheese
This is a touching anaylisis but itâs extremely racist as not only have you completely ignored the whole point of Mauiâs character, but have managed to incriminate a man of color on a tumblr wide scale.
First of all, Mauiâs character does not represent male violenceâit represent human greed. Maui did not take the heart because he is a man, and Te-Fiti is a woman. He took it because the humans asked him to. The humans asked Maui to do everything for them, not caring how greedy or selfish their requests were and in the end it was Maui who suffered for it. Maui is supposed to show the flaw of humanity.
This has nothing to do with sexism, it has everything to do with the fact that Maui gave and gave to the humans who could never stop being greedy. Moana giving the heart back wasnât supposed to be her âmaking upâ for the male violence that Maui represents. It was her making up for the greed she and her people represent. It was touching however because yes it was an important moment between two women, but you missed the point and youâve come off racist and very disrespectful to a culture at that.
Yes, Moana is an empowering movie for women, especially women of color. But the last thing this is about is Maui being an abuser/rapist or whatever. That is not the point of Mauiâs character.
And to assume so is racist. You are a white woman completely dehumanizing a man of color and ruining his image because of how you see him. And other white girls here on tumblr have happily picked up that image and interpretation and rolled with it. Mauiâs character is now seen as an abuser or as someone who is violently because of white girls here on tumblrâwhich it doesnât surprise me. (an in a historical context this is even MORE racist because white women would always make Mauiâs people out to be savages and abusers etc., simply because of the color of their skin and their culture so yea, this is bad).
You can see the morality of the movie however you want, but do not be disrespectful toward a character and in this case a culture.
@i-want-cheese Please donât write this off as another âbutthurt commentâ or âmale guiltâ, because this is really messed up. I see how youâre brushing off some other peopleâs comments and I honestly hope that you donât see mine the same way because this is an issue I think you need to face/realize. You are being racist and brushing it off isnât going to change that. theÂ
@visibilityofcolor THANK YOU FOR THIS. As a Polynesian woman, reading that post and other replies painting Maui and even Tui as aggressive and violent men had me feeling some type of way, especially since White people have always regarded Polynesian men in such a manner.
Iâve thought about replying because Iâm tired of seeing these kind of âMoana is a feminist movieâ posts collect hundreds of notes despite the fact that these posts always conveniently fail to mention Pasifika people, but it always stressed me out, so thank you.
As an aside, Maui taking Te Fitiâs heart and Moana restoring it was symbolic of environmental preservation. Because the people who inspired MoanaâPasifika people, not just Polynesianâare always affected first when the environment is threatened. Our way of life is greatly influenced by the ocean and we believe that if you take care of the ocean, she will take care of you.
Youâre very welcome.
This is insight for me as well (as I wasnât aware that the movie also came fro the culture of the Pasifika people), and does give a very important perspective. I do agree with you, this movie is about environmental restoration, not some white fem bullshit.
I tried over and over again to explain to I-want-cheese about how she was being racist, but she responded by blocking me and other poc who called her out (even other polynesian people). People to this day are still trying to explain that she is being racist and culturally insensitive but she ignores us.
Iâve made a few posts about this, hoping that people realize how problematic it is to agree with i-want-cheese. Â Explaining to her racist white ass that this was problematic was like explaining to a bird. She wouldnât listen and neither would have of her racist friends.
Sorry youâve had to see this on your dash every so often, but Iâm glad my portion of the post is starting to get around. (reblogged to the wrong blog at first lols)
dang reblogging this as a correction for the very first reblog. this why feminist analysis always needs to be intersectional
My heart just cried
the portrayal of Maui is super important here, the disney crew put a LOT of effort into getting him right because he IS a crucial figure to an entire culture- basically a cross between a central religious figure and superman so handling him poorly would be catastrophically disrespectful there are basically only two parts of Mauis legend that they flub- they only tell half of the story of when he was abandoned as a baby, and they skip over that stealing the heart of Te-Fiti so he could give it to humanity was the legend in which he dies yes, canonically Maui dies in his quest to give gifts to humanity, its an important element of why Maui is such a profound character, not just âman who hurt someoneâ strawman it gets worse when you discover the OTHER legend they fudged, the story of his birth, reinforces this. Mauis mother had several (Hawaiians only say three, new zealand says five) sons, all named Maui, so when she had ANOTHER son she named him Maui as well, but then cast him into the sea for there was no way she could support another son. the gods did not save Maui, as Moana says, instead they return him to his mother and say she must give him a chance. to which his mother states that for her to take care of him this infant must remove the roof from her house by throwing spears at it. that is the story of Maui the skillful, abandoned as an infant and then immediately told that he must PROVE his worth, after which all he ever does is prove his worth
his brothers mocked him for being a poor fisherman, he crafts a fishook from a jawbone and proceeds to raise new islands from the sea the sky is so low the trees bend, maui raises it for everyone, then fills the new sky with wind
the sun flies so quickly there is not enough time in the day to do the labors for everyone, maui has to lay traps for each of the suns many feet, chase after it as it was slowed, and then threaten to chop its legs off if it would not slow down
he then due to the complaints of the now longer dark night creates the moon and is upset his creation will not please humanity for it does not make sufficient light, then shows it to the sun so that it may learn how to be bright maui was credited with having invented as gifts for humanity the outrigger canoe, stone tools, and seaworthy boats that had no mast or sails. he was credited with inventing tattoos as a gift to dogs, however humanity is still not content so maui descends to the land of the dead to ask the secret of creating fire from the grandmother, who kept it hidden in her fingernails. he dropped the fingernail in the water as he tried to return to the land of the living, came back for another, dropped it as well, and went through all ten fingers and toenails untill he had to then interrogate birds the grandmother had shared the secret with to tell him how
a monstrous eel tried to put the moves on his wife, and again maui had to prove his worth to reclaim her by breaking the monster eelâs spine, shoving him into the ground to create the first coconut tree, the single most useful thing for polynesian life, as a gift to humanity yet again Maui, as a mythological figure, did nothing but give from the day he was born. he gave humans tools, land, fire, boats, light, the wind, everything except life itself and he even tried to give them that- and it killed him, he was bitten in two a crucial part of Maui as a legend is that he failed, its literally part of the point, also that he was driven to prove himself endlessly to the (during his life) ungrateful. do not try and drag Maui, its disrespectful on a level i cant express thank the man, you asshole Moana succeeded where he failed, for she saw that she did not have to prove herself. the whole movie up untill then she was trying to put on a brave face (there was literally a cut song âwarrior faceâ where maui teaches her Haka), shout her courage, announce to the world at large that she WILL do the thing and fix the world and be the hero, just like Maui
its easy to miss, she stopped trying to prove who she was to anyone, there was nobody she needed to prove herself TO she just WAS herself, and that brought her peace
Oh manâŚthis is why itâs so important to hear the perspectives of the peoples actually represented. When I was reading through this, the first part seemed to make a lot of sense on the surface, but I could *never* have imagined how racist that perspective was. It makes so much more sense now. Thank you to the folks in this thread who were willing to take the time to share their perspective so that oblivious folks like me could do a little more to chip away at our own internalized racism.Â
(Also the story of Maui is heckinâ sad, gosh :( )
What Slasher said. I was ready to reblog right at the first part. I never considered this. Thanks to everyone else on this post for sharing.
For anyone not aware, @/i-want-cheese is a hardcore TERF, so that gives another perspective to their language used above.
Yeah she actually only reblogged the replies that doubled down on her racism and defended it. She can choke.

Is anyone else kind of obsessed with the Kidz Bop version of âTruth Hurtsâ?
Thereâs something deeply uncanny valley about watching a bunch of kids sing a song about dumping your shitty boyfriend.
I want to make a web series about the Kidz Bop Kidz living lives of fame and doing the dark, sordid things they sing songs about but like the kid-friendly version of it.

Watch this beautiful BOTW fan animation by Youyang Kong and Qianya Ying, and support the channel on YouTube.
i have never understood or played magic the gathering, but i have nothing but respect for it after seeing this tittieless snake woman
you could have gone the easy route. you could have given her titties. but you didnât. cause sheâs a reptile. thank you mtg. thank you.
She is feeling Fresh and Fabulous.Â
SHE SURE IS because she is literally finishing up a shed there, look, you can see the last of it clinging to her tail
but sheâs already dressed again, after peeling off the skin that would previously have been under that armor
the only logical conclusion here is that she wanted a picture of herself at her SHINIEST and PRETTIEST and hurried to get dressed once enough of her fresh and shiny new skin was uncovered
I bet her bestie took the picture and has been eagerly waiting with the magical fantasy camera for like, hours
âoh my GOD Tâsissra your scales are SO VIBRANT this picture is going to be AMAZINGâ
Extra bonus points because she used that skin as part of her backdrop. Its like a banner behind her head.
âOut with the old, in with the glam!â
I read âfinishing up a shedâ and for a few microseconds I was like âsexy AND an accomplished carpenterâ

How is this NOT harassment? I have no words..
Something I remember from my Criminal Law classes is that, quite genuinely, looking at someone (occasionally even pointedly not doing so) can constitute assault.
It seems absurd, looking at someone? Whereâs the harm, right?
Well, it turns out itâs so that the law has recourse against people who just stand in a public space and start through someoneâs living room window. For weeks.
Just randomly chasing somebody, even without intent to actually harm, is legally assault. Itâs not harmless, itâs months or even years of therapy and paranoia against ever going outside your home, if you even think your home is still safe.
TLDR: Yes the law has already seen you play âIâm not touching youâ and it is already fed up with your BS.
My favorite thing about Cheddar the dog is that either Holt or Kevin named him Cheddar and I honestly donât know which option is funnier.
third, equally funny option: his name was already cheddar when they adopted him. both of them think itâs an absurd goddamn name but neither of them know you can just change an animalâs name if you donât like it. no one ever told them and theyâre both much too proper to even conceptualize this notion on their own. the dog was named cheddar and thatâs very unfortunate but cheddar he will remain.Â
fourth, they were aware you could change an adopted animals name but let it remain Cheddar out of respect for his âbirthâ parents
Fifth, they named it after the historic village of Cheddar, Somerset in England, unaware people will associate it more with the type of cheese
Sixth, they named him after the hard cheese from Cheedar in Somerset, England due the fact there are both orange and off-white types which parallels their petâs coloring and Kevin and Raymond both appreciate the nobility of a product which is a cornerstone of a multibillion dollar cheese industry and has a history going back to the 12th century and furthermore
Seventh, Cheddar is the only type of cheese that they both love.
Eighth. Cheddar was Kevinâs mother dog, she chose the name and Kevin, dutiful son that he is, took him off her hands when she developed an allergy to dog dander at 78. Can you imagine? What unbridled weakness, and at her age. You see, Santiago, this why early exposure to allergens of all types is crucial for healthy antibody development and why I made a point to have as many encounters with low-level toxins as possible before my immune system was finished developing. You know, now that you and Peralta are discussing reproducing, you should really consider
