homogenising something that has always been inherently diverse will kill us all one day.

#-> myra text #political critique #that is why hindutva should have not been popularised. hindutva is not decolonisation or reclamation. #it is homogenising and exclusionist. it takes away the diverse history of this country. #but this statement will reach deaf ears. rather than critiquing nobility they will go and bark casteist and islamphobic bs. #did invaders did what invaders do? yes. but this whole property destruction and lives being at risk has been going on for years. #biggest example who are quite popular: ajatshatru (son of bimbisara) & ashoka the great (the massacre at kaling) #i'm all in for criticising nobility i have no respect for any kings despite their religion and community and whatever. #they're all shits who benefited and left the common people to rot. #these people will say that tipu sultan is the devil reborn but will go on praising the marathas #as if the marathas did not cause a bloodshed in bengal karnataka and the punjab regions. not saying tipu is good but i rather #wanted to point out the hypocrisy of people in certain spaces. its a good thing to appreciate history and even better thing to learn from #the mistakes made in past but some of you guys did not understand the whole point. #absolute shit head cunts some of you guys are. come at me brand me whatever slurs you fuckers use i don't give a shit #calling people sex slaves just because they don't subscribe to your viewpoint is not the big own you think it is. #sanghi bs #india #hindutva

Dead on Main Childhood Friends Memes

Because now that I've gotten the hang of making au memes, i can't stop.

#dpxdc #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #dpxdc memes #dead on main #i keep calling this ship undead on main #childhood friends au #jason not believing that danny's gonna kill the joker is not only one of the funnier things i've come up with for this au but ALSO #my attempt at fixing that little plothole i made in the first post with danny outright stating his intentions about the joker #bc i didnt think i was continuing the post #it was mostly a prompt LMAO #sam's list is her internalized misogyny hypocrisy performative activism entitlement and her general refusal to accept that she can be wrong #remember how sam and danny hated each other in the beginning? yeah thats why #like lbfr sam's parents canonically spoiled her that has GOT to have affected her views on everything despite how she likes to act otherwis #hey look these memes have more variety than my clone danny ones #jason and danny are paralleling each other with their conspiracy boards btw #and if i could make an animatic of this au it would be with the song 'Hollow Moon' by. you guessed it. the crane wives

I find it super ironic that Cyclonus has this highly romanticized, propagandic view of the Decepticons, because like:

This is him 🔽

And this is also him 🔽

Dude you yourself was a member of the ruling elite of the old order. Even if what you said about the Decepticons were all true, you're a big part of why people needed to be emancipated in the first place.

He was part of Nova Prime's inner cadre during a time when bigotry and oppression was even more predominant. Nova. who's literally the founder of functionism, which flourished and peaked under the so-called Golden Age of his rule. And Galvatron's... Galvatron, I don't even want to talk about him everyone knows what he's like. But Cyclonus was somehow fine with being yes-man to both?

The way he spoke about the Decepticons, it sounded as if he's this super dedicated sjw filled with righteous passion about stuff like liberation and revolution and emancipation and 'the people', when in truth it's shown that he'd never cared about any of those things before that point.

Nova Prime's ideology was literally this:

And Cyclonus didn't have a problem with it during his entire life before the Ark, compared to more decent people like Dai Atlas and Omega Supreme who eventually clashed with their group and got kicked off the Ark b/c they couldn't stand Nova and co.'s lack of a bottom line and misuse of the word freedom.

As a matter of fact Cyclonus still believed in Nova Prime after he became Nemesis - not that he was much of a better person as Nova. Where's his sense of justice against corruption? Nova got turned into a literal demon, surely it's hard to get more corrupted than that. But his only complaint wasn't about what Nova/Nemesis was trying to do, it's about the process being too much of a damn ordeal.

He's super excited over the anticipation of murder and has no scruples whatsoever about killing non-combatants. The same thing happened again at Kimia.

He finally grew enough of a conscience to break off from Galvatron in the end but notice his wording. It's not 'you forced me to hurt people', it's 'you forced me to hurt Cybertron'. He even said Cybertron twice for emphasis.

It's not mind control, he just thinks like that. The guy's obsessed with Cybertron - with what Cybertron once was. The Cybertron he lived in. Nova Prime's Cybertron. The Golden Age. He's shown to repeatedly lament over it in his internal monologues.

It's all about the loss of his 'perfect world.' The infrastructure. the scenery. the Tetrahexian real estate lmao. How about let's feel some sadness for the billions of Cybertronians who once lived on it? When did he ever spare a thought for all the people who died?

The Decepticons worked so hard to destroy this. It's a gilded carcass rotting from the inside. It eats people alive. The rot was already there in his own time. He was complacent in putting it there. But he only had eyes for the beauty and nolstalgia.

In the first panel he lauded the Decepticons for wanting radical change. Well he himself seemed to be dead set against change judging by the way he kept wanting things to go back the way they were 8 million years ago.

Back in the Golden Age he would not have looked twice at a bot like Tailgate. He was part of the people who didn't give a shit about the disappearance of one waste disposal bot. He still wouldn't have given a shit if circumstances hadn't forced them together over and over again.

Looks to me he's enarmored with the grandness of the concepts of liberation and revolution and emancipation for 'the people' in the Decepticons' (theoretical) ideology. The concepts of fighting against corruption and bringing down the old order. Just like how he bought into the concepts of Nova's 'spreading freedom to the galaxy' and the glittering prosperity of the 'Golden Age.' Does he know that the Decepticon ideology is a twisted lie built on terror and massacres and genocide and despotism? Does he know that Nova's idea of spreading freedom and enlightenment is galactical conquest and his beloved Golden Age is built upon a foundation of misery and suffering and systematic subjugation? Of course he knows he's not stupid. He's nose-deep in it, it's virtually impossible not to. But he's able to willfully ignore those ugly truths as well as his role in them by only engaging in shallow romanticism through rose-coloured lens and refusing to delve deeper.

It's either that or imperalist mindset and the endorsement of violence and casual murder resonates hard.

#on one hand Cyclonus would have made the perfect decepticon #he's got the hypocrisy down really well #moral standards align too #but he wouldn't be able to stand them after a while. and they wouldn't be able to stand him #their views about the past are fundamentally different. like class different #let's not forget the fanatic religion. the decepticons hate religion. being religious is enough to get the DJD sicced on you #and taking religion to the extremes is what legitimized functionism in the first place #he's someone who's REALLY good at ignoring thing he doesn't like and brainwashing himself into thinking they don't exist #idw transformers #transformers #mtmte #maccadam #Cyclonus

Ulysses obsession with the Courier is a special type of sad to me cause the Courier’s part was so important but so unwitting. They had no idea what was in the package they delivered and neither did he. Neither had an idea of what it could’ve done and the Courier was only caring out their job (mind you the Courier could be killed via notes in the express contract if they don’t). To them it was just another regular delivery to the divide and one that they likely thought would help, just like all the ones before.

It’s so tragic for Ulysses to hold so much ire to the Courier when it really was the case of it could’ve been anyone. Anyone could have delivered that package but they did and so he focused the blame on them and it destroys what he is trying to instill in the courier on a fundamental level.

#like yeah the courier delivered the package but in the end that’s a job #any random courier could’ve delivered it especially since we know in the past the factions were farther apart and this travel was a smidge #safer but courier six got it and this Ulysses blamed them #like I don’t care much for Ulysses because I think lonesome road embodies don’t shoot the messenger at it core #and what people focus on doesn’t focus on the fact that in the bigger picture #everything went wrong because two factions were at war and at some point the codes would have been delivered #and the divide destroyed cause with how close it is to NCR territory it would of been found #like there is an inevitable and too many people treat Ulysses as if he knows more or is more aware of the idiosyncrasies of conflict #when he’s like fundamentally flawed just at the standard of being a legion apologist STILL and just how focused he is on one persons #involvement cause yeah choices matter even the small one but I think Veronica’s quest says it best with a line from the courier #you can’t control what they do #like the courier couldn’t and can’t control what they deliver and yet it’s got them in hot water multiple times #like do you think they enjoy being shot or knowing they are indirectly responsible for activating the annihilation of a community #to me it’s hypocrisy to be willing to end the world or one world to prove a point and whatever argument made that only military factions #suffer forget there are innocent civilians suffering that had no part and Ulysses is no better than the Courier #I don’t like devils advocate and a lot of the dlc just feels like that but idk I know people love it but the depth is just not there for mr #ulysses fnv #fallout #fallout new vegas #courier six #the courier #lonesome road #the courier has very little personality outside what we give them but some lines and delivery paint a picture #like uhhhh undertale deltarune rules ig

pack it up everyone dylan mulvaney jumped on the "girl dinner" type of tiktok humor w a silly song about Girlhood and now all the cis girls who were eating it UP from other cis women are demonizing her and saying she's evil for mocking womanhood and doesn't understand

I'm absolutely sick of it. that culture was Bad to begin with, but any time it was critiqued the response was "WE'RE COPING WITH WOMANHOOD of course we understand!" & you were branded a Misogynistic Self Hating Woman for not finding it funny. but the SECOND a popular trans woman jumps in on it? it's think pieces about "does she really understand womanhood at all? people need to know that she understands and this song misses that" as if they wouldn't be gobbling it the fuck up if a white, blond, cis woman made that song.

#if u want to know the song it's days of girlhood #and like yeah tbh I dislike it in the same way I dislike all these songs and trends and bullshit around womanhood being cutesy #but tiktok sure would've LOVED IT coming from a cis woman #it's very blatant hypocrisy #either you see All Songs and trends like this are rough #or you don't just complain when it's a trans woman doing it #like no she very much does understand the reality of womanhood and misogyny shes just making a silly fun song like so many cis women made #popular on this stupid app #anyway.

IM TRYING TO BLOG ABOUT HIS HYPOCRISY AND SEE FANART.

Of course, when two riders engage in battle there's only one winner, and the loser is never happy. Valentino received many harsh words from Gibernau, Stoner, Lorenzo, Márquez and others, but the criticism never bothered him. "I expected Stoner to say I'm a fucking bastard, but he says it's scary to be on track with me," said Vale after he took out the Australian during the 2011 Spanish GP. "Why? Just because he lost the battle at Laguna and he still can't accept it. Laguna was an epic race. Did Mick Doohan call Wayne Gardner impolite after their epic battle at Phillip Island in 1990? No! Did Wayne Rainey call Kevin Schwantz a bastard at Suzuka in 1991? No - this is racing!" A few years later it was Vale who was scared of someone else. "I'm scared when I'm on the track with Márquez," he said after the Spaniard took him out during the 2018 Argentine GP. This, indeed, is racing. "Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play," wrote George Orwell, author of 1984 and Animal Farm. "It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting."

Mat Oxley's Valentino Rossi: All His Races

#valentino rossi #casey stoner #marc marquez #rosquez #// #cs27 #4693 #fwiw I still think it's not necessarily massive hypocrisy. you can draw the line somewhere between vale and marc levels of aggression #that being said it is funny that this parallel has made it into a published book that vale got as a present from oxley #also again important for the jerez 2011 thing - undoubtedly a banger line from casey but it wasn't something that massively bothered vale

HERE IT IS!! after Many moons of chipping away at this OC song comic for my scifi-noir android character Whitney and his bodyguard Bast, it is finally as complete as it shall ever be;; I’m proud of the work I put into this one! Pretty niche, but maybe some folks out there will enjoy UuU

ps: there's also a video for easy viewing!

i can guarantee you half of the people pressuring for a statement don't really care about francesca and they just wanted an opportunity to display performative activism and spread hate to someone else

The fact that those subset of Z fans are the ones rushing to insert on the convo now but in the beggining they did not give af it’s obvious they don’t care, they just jump at any chance to hate him

You know what's so funny to me? The amount of times I've mistaken E/riel art with Feysand...

Idc what people ship. They have the right to ship any characters with each other and I wouldn't bat an eye because its not my business but drawing Elain with Feyre's light blue starfall dress and Azriel in all black and blue glitter on their face?... Or Elain in CoN style dress with a crown and Azriel in a suit?

Yeah I don't care what you draw AT ALL but it all proves to me that you don't want anything unique with your ship...

Or you don't care about the description of the characters in the book and we're the one who get accused of character assassination. Interesting.

Honestly asking, don't you want something unique for your ship?

I was on Pinterest and I got so happy to see a new Feysand art just to realize its not them. And it took me 10 seconds to realise it because it was THAT similar.

I'm saying this again because I don't want to deal with people who says "people are entitled to draw anything they want" and you're right!! But it just very VERY telling...

I suppose its not your fault really... because Azriel is really a rough draft of Rhysand with all the shadows, which also Rhys has. Or how Feyre was bride of spring and bla bla bla

Like it's not your fault the aesthetic is there (kinda?) But I don't think sjm will do another ship with the same aesthetic just saying...

#I hate to say this #But they want a second feysand... #This is not just a one time thing #It's happened A LOT #Its like the whole argument about “we don't want them to be mates” “we don't want another mated couple” #But at the same time creating the theory about mother mate Cauldron mate and bla bla bla #And already believing them to be mates? #lmao please #like bffr #Everything you need to know about the characters are already in the book #Ignoring them and call others out for not ignoring them as well is just straight up hypocrisy #feysand #This is the first anti E/riel I've made? #But it's really not #Idk how many time I said this but the reason people start hating something #Is their fans behavior lol #At least this is the case with this fandom... #elucien #gwynriel

with toriel and asgore it's like. they're both flawed and their flaws parallel one another, but they're not EQUALLY flawed... like..... come on......

#let's be serious here. just say you don't like toriel and move on. but don't pretend her hypocrisies were in any way comparable #in size in subsequent damage or in blame to asgore's own #the game goes out of its way to show asgore's actions as wrong. both towards his people and towards toriel. noble yes. sympathetic. tragic. #heartwrenching. narratively impeccable and capable of genuine chance. but fundamentally the wrong choice made by a good man #toriel may not have made the best possible choice at every turn but her final intentions were the morally correct ones #she just did what she KNEW was right. even when it meant leaving her entire life and people behind to live in isolation. #asgore backed toriel into that corner just as much as he did himself #he was a good man who was in a world of hurt and that decision hung over him for the rest of his life but it WAS. HIS. DECISION. #you cannot take that from him. you cannot take the teeth out of his character like that #and you cannot take toriel's role as the person who challanges and refutes his decision from her #her entire character was created as a subversion of rpg motherhood. and how it had so little of motherhood in it. #letting children venture out into the wilderness to face god knows what god knows where #WHICH IS!!! IN ITSELF!!!! A NARRATIVE PARADOX. because it's something that the genre requires for the story to exist #you can't play the whole game on tutorial. the contradictory nature of her stance between morality & ut's genre is built into her character #that's what makes her so freaking interesting to begin with!!!!!! like. #OUGH #undertale #toriel #asgore #entry log

Idk who needs to hear this, but it's perfectly fine for you to pick up or drop your interests, hobbies, goals, etc throughout the years and it doesn't make you a quitter or mean that you're never going to do that thing again after you drop it. It just means that your interest wanes and waxes and nothing is ever permanent. You can always pick up something you love again even if it's been a while since you've done/practiced/progressed in it. And arguably you will burn yourself out faster trying to do 20 hobbies at once than you will if you just let yourself focus on a couple at a time.

#squiggposting #massive hypocrisy coming from me but i'm leaning #sometimes you can drop something that you made it a goal/promise to do #and it doesnt make you a bad person for quitting it just means your priorities chsnged #you dont have to be bound to the person/priorities you had in the past #as the wise meme once said if it sucks hit the bricks #you can always come back to it. it can be a pause rather than an end #nothing truly has to end. many things will still be waiting for you once youre ready #do what you must and more importsntly what you yearn to dl

I hate this trend where there is a queer show with a lot of diversity, including an on-screen same sex couple. And the creator openly talks about how this was very difficult to accomplish and something they have to fight for. And then the fanbase says that the show is queer-baiting or has “forced heterosexuality” because there is one canon m/f couple in the supporting cast. 

Never mind that bisexual/pansexual opposite sex couples exist and that there are trans people who are heterosexual. Never mind that the heterosexual couple is healthy and equal and doesn’t adhere to cisheteronormativity. Never mind that the creator openly had to fight for a diverse cast and queer representation, and got a lot of hate from alt-right groups. Never mind that the “forced het couple” is interracial and diverse (because everything is about shipping).

Nah, it’s all queer-baiting, you see, because I don’t personally like this ship and don’t want to ship it. And you can bet that I’ll never be this hard on my favorite sitcom with no queer representation made by a bunch of cishet men. In fact, I’ll even praise my favorite cishet white showrunners for doing the bare minimum, and treat queer showrunners like they’re the incarnation of Satan (/s).

Bonus points if the queer showrunner is trans and they constantly get misgendered by the people who hate the show.

#fandom #steven universe #toh #spop #personal rant #sorry just been feeling a certain way about fandom lately #no i don't think that shows made by queer people shouldn't be criticized #and they have a lot of room for diversity #but do you know how frustrating it can be to see people hype up south park or whatever #and then constantly shit on steven universe #i'm not even a big fan of su but there's blatant hypocrisy
