“And then the two young men backflipped into a gold Ferrari, shouted ‘So long, losers!’ and flipped the bird at a picture of Churchill.”

Anyone talking about 'curses' and 'letting curses out if you open things' on the Pyramid post, but also y'know Ancient Egypt in general?
Thanks for perpetuating Orientalist othering!
That's pretty racist of you!
✨Go Fuck Yourself✨

Zionist bloggers on here say "the stupid people are saying [something a palestinian reporter in gaza said and has documented, which we will source], they're literally just antisemitic don't listen to them" and their next post will be "stop calling me a zionist because I'm jewish?? I said im not a zionist??" Buddy I am calling you a zionist because you are a zionist who refuses to listen to Palestinians and only ever calls them antisemitic. Hope this helps.

I'm seeing variations of this meme around again, so to today's (un)lucky 10000:
the "inside you there are two wolves" meme is racist. full stop. it was invented by a Christian pastor in the late 70s and attributed to the Cherokee nation, despite being completely made up. every native american / indigenous page I've ever followed denounces it as made up and racist, using their imagery to sound mystical and wise while ignoring the people themselves.
please consider using another format. try to use your guilt productively: I'm not calling you out, this is aimed at educating. You can't erase not knowing in the past, but you can elect to 1) not reblog these in the future, 2) delete any that are easy to delete, 3) help to spread education by following native people's accounts and news so that you hear this from them, not me.

the James Somerton thing really shows how hard people are willing to go to bat for a white cis guy who seems to say all the right things and makes content they like no matter how much everyone else has proof of them being a bad person. That is, until a more popular white cis guy who says all the right things calls them out.
This isn't a criticism of Hbomberguy at all, but of everyone else for refusing to listen to the voices of the people James hurt until Hbomb made it cool. This happens all the time and is still happening and it drives me insane. Y'all need to do better.

Google: hello I recommend this show to you based on your interest in 1600s Japanese modern period dramas and animations
Me: oh actually this show is pretty neat, I like that the Japanese characters actually speak Japanese and not *winkwink* they're totes talking in Japanese but for the viewer's sake they're using English *winkwink* and from the sound of it traditional Japanese at that because this is sounding very antiquated and out of date compared to my rough knowledge of modern Japanese
Show: :)
Show: have 10 minutes of a character being tortured by being boiled to death in a large cast iron pot :)
Me: ...
Me: WHY

i hate when people can't acknowledge that their interests or favs have faults... like wdym "well 🤓 there actually was not any fatphobia in saiki k, the jokes in those episodes were that she was unhealthy, not that she was fat-" the entire joke is that she gets fat. thats the entire joke, and you KNOW that thats the entire joke. you can enjoy those episodes and find the rest of the humor in them funny while also acknowledging that its weird that the whole joke was that she got fat.
and dont even get me started on people defending what they did with mera in the island arc... why cant you just say "yeah thats really weird and we shouldnt condone it" and move on instead of going "welllllll! actually 🤓☝️ they did nothing wrong!"
