#*internal bias

[contessavermillion]

Rewatching the episode with Franklyn and Tobias because I've read a few fic featuring both and the charactization of Franklyn was super weird to me. He was written with such disdain and disgust and that was odd because I didn't remember him that way. I absolutely believe Hannibal pitied him, and definitely felt some impatience and disdain for him, but I don't believe Hannibal wanted him dead. I think the revulsion creeping into so many of the stories about Franklyn are motivated by the fatphobia of the authors because, without fail, they all harp on his size. When we write it's so important to question our internal bias. It's good to see more writers not falling into the traps of racism and misogyny but that doesn't excuse the fatphobia.

"In approaching six months of genocidal horror in Gaza, the Israeli army has slaughtered more than 32,000 Palestinians, with thousands more bodies decomposing under the Gaza rubble. More than 70,000 are wounded, many maimed for life. Among the dead are at least 90 Palestinian journalists and media workers, and nearly 200 aid workers. Some 13,000 children and 9,000 women have been killed by Israel. The same attrition rate in the UK would have seen at least one million Britons dead, including approximately 400,000 children. Until yesterday, politicians of the two main British political parties, Conservative and Labour, along with the mainstream media, have been relaxed about all this. They supported the slaughter and protected the killers. The British media have demonised or dehumanised Palestinians, while throwing their weight behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Too often the media have believed lies and fabrications told to them by the Israeli army, while suppressing or ignoring mounting evidence of Israeli atrocities. Overnight, this appears to have changed."

I just think we should start framing these things in the first person. I am not immune to propaganda. I have implicit biases, in spite of my explicit beliefs, which I need to keep in check.

#guiltyedits #you are not immune to propaganda #garfield #I have a bunch of stray reasons for this argument but they're not coherent right now <3 I'm sure nobody's DYING trying to figure it out lmao #implicit bias #internalized #affirmations #self-regulation #leftist

I think it's so funny that people treat Arya like she has no self-control because she *checks notes* stood up to Joffrey and defended her friend from being attacked

#arya stark #asoiaf #that's literally the only evidence people have to /prove/ that Arya wouldn't have been able to survive in KL 😭 #and then the same people call Sansa a queen for thinking about pushing Joffrey over the edge the obvious bias is so funny #people treating Arya like she's the dumb and reckless counterpart is soooooo forced cause there's literally no evidence #even her defending Mycah isn't impulsive...she has a whole internal monologue about thinking her father or his men would've defended him to #because it was the right thing to do but I guess no other character is allowed to be naive and learn a lesson #anyways saying this just makes you look stupid cause Arya's entire arc and survival hinges on her keeping calm in tense situations

thinking about Jevin and xB and how they both bully Hypno, and, in the context of ships, interpreting it kinda as… Jevin is mean to Hypno because he has romantic feelings for him, kinda like the stereotype of “he’s bullying you because he likes you and has a crush on you” in school children. Meanwhile, xB is mean to Hypno because it’s funny, and any romantic feelings he has are purely coincidental. Is this making sense

#posts inspired by in jevin’s episode: etho suggesting something smart and jevin accidentally going “wow hypno’s so smart” LOL #technically because hypno was in his chat at the same time. BUT. i think its funnier if c!jevin just assumes anything cool is hypno’s doing #a subconscious bias that goes into everything. saying “ugh hypno smells” but secretly believing hypno is handsome smart funny etc #also: don’t get me wrong i think hypno and xb bullying each other is a way of displaying affection for them. but it isn’t xb #trying to respond to his own internal feelings. hypno is just bulliable #on a serious note the “he bullies you because he likes you” concept annoys me a lot irl as an autistic person who was bullied #i think people just bullied me because I was the nearest “weird” kid and they were unhappy with their lives so wanted some control #BUT in fiction + where its more of a mutual teasing where nobody is too upset. love that trope #hermitshipping #hermitshipblr #hypnotizd #xbcrafted #ijevin #jevno #hypxb #hhf #these aren’t the only hypno ships i have but they’re the two most common for him and the ones that fit the point i was trying to make

how is James Somerton saying the misogyny ended up in your videos because they were writing them so fast? How does that happen if you weren't already holdiing these views?? how????

#saying yes i said this stuff and will examine my own bias and do better now would be better #hell we all have some internalized bigotry from growing up and sometimes we need to reflect on that #the lack of accountability makes me mad #sorry for any typos my spellcheck is not doing english very well lately #idk why #james somerton #hbomberguy #my post

just when I thought western news bias couldn't get any worse.... here's a Guardian article covering different protests around the world for women's rights in honor of International Women's Day.

the above image is a protest that took place in Lahore, Pakistan. if you're only looking at the image, you'll find it pretty clear what the protest is for. like, c'mon, it's obvious. take a look at the caption though.

WHERE in the caption does it mention Palestine? Like, at all?

oh, but it gets better.

now THIS is a protest in Johannesburg, South Africa. right off the bat, you'll notice that this is a protest about bringing back israeli women hostages being held by hamas. but unlike the above protest in lahore, this protest gets a caption detailing EXACTLY what's going on. i'm not saying that these hostages shouldn't be returned to their families, but when women and girls in gaza are left to resort to tent scraps when they get their period, give birth in dirty classrooms, starve to death, leave their homes, live in conditions of utter INDIGNITY... it speaks volumes. our complacence and apathy speak volumes. and news articles like this speak volumes, too.

anyways, happy womens' day, everyone. let's fight for a world in which ALL women are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness.

Can we stop calling 1/2 of the main brown boys in the family feral please.

#I’m not saying every tim stan is racist #the second feral comes out ur mouth tho? clocked it #I was gonna tag all the characters but actually I’m gonna keep it here #bc the second they find out the feral thing showcases their bias #instead of internalizing that and thinking about WHY they use that terminology and shifting their thought process #they’ll just stop SAYING feral and be just as racist #at least with this to myself I already know it #my 6 rebloggers TEN HUT #idk terminology

The amount of chaos Danny could cause by setting up a blob ghost circus for a class project or science fair is immeasurable.

#danny phantom #blob ghosts #first we have the blob ghosts themselves being ghosts and freaking people out #then you have Danny being a little shit when it comes to jokes revenge and taking things too far #then you have the student body who may or may not want blob ghosts as pets #then val's ghost hatred #and finally the possibility of danny's parents finding out and showing up #everything would hit the fan #and here is proof that ghosts are smart and can learn new things!!!! #for this project I will be showing my parents falsified their reasearch due to an internal bias

Have been thinking and talking about Charlie for a while, and I have seen many comments saying that Charlie is Viv's self-insert.

If that's actually true (as Viv has not explicitly stated it to my knowledge) then it makes SO much sense..

happy pride! while this may sound like "dont police other peoples fun" or "its not harming anyone" or anything along those lines, reminder to please keep an eye out for how you treat poc in the community <3

while it might be "discourse" or "ruining the mood" to you to have to be a little bit more mindful of the way you act, being the victim of casual racism i guarantee is much worse !

we are also a part of this community and we deserve to feel welcomed here. listen to our voices and don't use your lgbtq labels as an excuse to hurt other marginialized people, some of whom are also in your very community. awesome! thanks

#this is not too much to ask or negative or causing drama #bc again. it might be annoying to you to examine some internal bias #but being the Victim of aforementioned internal bias while being told 'youre welcome in this community!' #does not feel very comfortable either #same idea as that one post about fandom spaces. #im here to have fun too! trying to think before what you fucking post is the least you can do #it isnt discourse it isnt drama bc it isnt fair that our experiences should suck so much when we are Also. here to be a part #your refusal to listen only shows how much regardless of if we're on the same side regardless of how much you say youre inclusive #you refuse to actually do anything about it bc its too much effort #just a reminder post anyway. im not mad at anyone or anything altho i certainly have the right to be #all i ask is that you be mindful

#''good opinions are ones that align with my internal bias'' #i should stop arguing tho #i dont think im gonna change sex puritans minds #and its just gonna flood ppl dash with this stuff #anon #asks

[image ID: a screenshot of a tumblr text post with imbedded image. Text reads: I think the most humiliating object in the world is the Fleshlight sleeve warmer

Image of a black plastic object. It stands on four prongs with one longer prong standing straight upward.

Continued text: Its only purpose is to slide into your fleshlight and get it to body temp. It's $30. I want to get every single man who owns one of these into one room and make them do long-form improv. End image ID]

I don’t really get what is the joke here though. Is it bad to not want to put your dick in a cold lube tube? Is $30 too much to spend on making your solo sex life better? Is the joke just that anyone who puts this much effort ($30 and like 10 minutes of prep) into jerking off can’t possibly be getting laid? Are people (‘men’) who spend money/effort on sex toys weird? Degenerate?

I can assure you I’ve spent way more than $30 on way more ‘humiliating’ sex toy accoutrements.

#i mean yeah sometimes storing stuff like this when you’re not using it is awkward #but i don’t really see why we’re dunking on everyone who owns one #screenshotting bc i don’t really feel like starting anything with op but this post just rubbed me the wrong way #literally what’s wrong with it other than your own internalized bias against pleasure for pleasure’s sake #there aren’t a ton of toys designed for penises i think it’s great that they have good ones available #tbh i also wouldn’t want to put my dick into a cold slime tube all the time! #sepulchritudinous
