#fake activism

[hero-israel]

Not the whole entire pro-Palestine movement is a bad faith fraud aimed solely at leftwashing violent racism. The figure might be as low as 96%.

to the people using fandom spaces to spread politics: no. stop it. stop. this isn't cool and isn't progressive and isn't helpful in any way.

you're invading safe spaces, you're bringing politics into the front doors of people who use that fandom as means of escapism, you're making light of a situation by pretending editing a character to hold a sign or a flag is a meaningful act of activism, you're putting words in characters mouths that people project themselves onto.

this is not about individual blogs who post both fanart and political posts, y'all can do whatever you want, it's your blog.

but blogs like this?

this is not activism.

#don't bring animated turtles into a 100+ yo conflict you know nothing about #this is not a way to bring awareness #there are actual legitimate ways to use media to bring awareness to a political conflict #but this ain't it #I'm not even in this fandom but this is not the first time I see a blog like this #israel palestine #fake activism #I would make the exact same post if it was saying “free the hostages” #I want to make that clear #because I've been clear about this things in the past #no hate to the art or the artists

[sandinmybed]

a lot of y'all claim to be body positive and anti looksism and then as soon as a celebrity does something problematic or you simply dislike them, a lot of you bitches will immediately call them ugly and I'm gonna be the one to tell you that you are not body positive! good looks are not the same thing as moral goodness! you are all so stupid!

#'oh i mean inside ugliness' THEN SAY THAT #because a lot of you will just call celebs ugly rats for not sharing your exact same vibes or w/e #someones views dont change the way they look and you need to recognise this to avoid being drawn in by charismatic evil people #lets use Beyonce as an example. lets say she does something heinous tomorrow. are you going to call her ugly? #or are you reaching because you cant think of a worse thing to call someone than ugly #this is also why yall dont manage to cancel people effectively #as soon as they post a thirst trap or a good photoshoot youre all '😳 if i speak' #body positivity #looksism #fake body positivity #bopo #text #fake activism #twitter

Lowkey, if you bring a political issue up to win a petty internet argument, I doubt your commitment to the cause.

Strange, how you seem to care about something when you can use it to exert power over others, yet never walk the walk about it.

If people see a cause brought up in the context of stupid shit enough times, they'll stop taking it seriously.

aquarius neptune generation is hilarious cus almost everyone in this generation is convinced they are bigger activists than they really are. they are convinced that our generation is the most progressive generation ever and most ppl have nothing to show for it but instagram activism. neptune in aqua has thoroughly convinced ppl that instagram infographics and carrds count as real activism and that therefore there are some bringers of change when in actuality for a lot of ppl after they turn off their phones they don’t care ab half of what they tweeted/posted on their stories😭

Love to see the european clowns on here support eurovision this year even though the years before, people on tumblr were talking about it's multiple controversies and connection with isreal (it being a contestant). Basically anti-palestine. A lot of you trash knew and didn't care. Now when it's convenient for you lot you guys will finally boycott it for the sake of being an "ally".

Don't get me wrong and think I don't want a boycott of eurovision, but the shit WILL reek of performative activism. Then again, knowing you losers, y'all still probably support it...

#txt #im so pissed #im so sick you people #you don't care until its convenient #its such a joke #fuck y'all for real #eurovision #eurovision 2024 #palestine #isreal #fake activism #anti-eurovision #boycott eurovision #pro palestine

The insidious nature of fantis

DISCLAIMER: Awhile back, I privated my Twitter to feel safer, but it still had some things on it that I don't want to cut off people's access to. And while the Wayback Machine is absolutely incredible for what it does, I find it so agonizingly tedious to load up even one page to read. It's even worse if there's images attached, each of which I have to manually open in a new tab to see, if they load at all. So I'm taking some of my old posts and reformatting them for Tumblr. This is STRICTLY FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES. Do not assume these are recent events and do not EVER harass anyone!!!

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I wrote it shortly after covering the Amphibia Attacks, and the archive in the Wayback Machine can be found here.

SUMMARY: In this thread, I dissect a single Tweet that perfectly encapsulates the way fantis often move the goal post in order to continue their façade of a moral high ground, when in reality, they are simply doing whatever they can to hurt their target of the week and maintain the vitriol against that target.

Everything below the Read More is a direct paste of that thread.

Honestly, this Tweet is a microcosm of the insidious nature of fantis and other types of control freaks.

I'm genuinely thankful they worded it this way because their true intentions come through perfectly.

A thread~ 🧵

Disclaimer: I'm white and totally uninformed about what historical stereotype or caricature this Tweet could be referring to. But I don't need to talk about that, because that's not REALLY what this Tweet is about.

Normally, I would try to see if this claim has merit, but the foundation behind it is already disingenuous.

Raebits was being attacked entirely because they were accused of drawing nsfw of minor characters. Ofc some people dismissed the notion that aging them up matters at all. But OP acknowledged the difference specifically so they could move the goal post, because while some people are okay with aged up nsfw, those same people are still generally NOT okay with racism.

OP had to look for a new, more severe reason that Alex is "problematic". Because even considering that there's some stereotype against Taiwanese people that involves servitude, it's MUCH more likely that the cause of this combination in the artwork was, uh, I don't know,,,,

the fact that maid outfits and master/slave dynamics are VERY COMMON KINKS! 🙀

To take a vague lewd drawing of a cartoon character in a maid outfit, even if she's "serving her master", and immediately assume malice from the artist, is ridiculous given these circumstances and how VAGUE these kinks are.

If Alex had, say, a pattern of taking specifically Taiwanese or even just Asian girl characters and putting them in subservient positions like that, then yeah, I would completely understand calling them out for possibly having some unchecked degrading views about those women. But instead, OP took one drawing of really basic kinks applied to one of what, three main characters? I dunno, y'all call them the "trio". That isn't evidence of ANYTHING on its own! It's just a big reach, because the true goal of bringing it up NOW is to move the goal post.

People like OP are so desperate for their self-imposed delusions to be true, and they need to drag everyone down with them. They need to control the narrative and keep people from doubting the seriousness of their "concerns".

And I mean, that should be obvious considering how many people are blaming the artists directly for "exposing people to triggering artwork" when the ONLY person who did that was phibbyburner, the one playing "hero" for the fantis.

This is not what starting a discussion looks like. OP doesn't actually want an explanation. They want to keep the blind hatred for Alex going. And it won't stop at Alex, whether they're successfully driven entirely off Twitter or not. These people will move right on to the next target of their misdirected vitriol.

"But they were drawn as their canonical adult selves.."

"Oh. Uh.. w-well… Alex is also RACIST!! Ever think about that??"

We have to be vigilant in spotting actual progressive criticism vs. bullying cloaked in its aesthetic.

OP didn't even bother to fact-check what Alex drew and settled for an "and apparently", further showing that this is less about holding someone accountable for real actions and more about already having made up their mind that the person is bad and should be shunned. I'm willing to bet OP doesn't even care whether the characters are aged up or not. They wouldn't be creating more reasons to hate Alex if they were okay with them drawing post-timeskip nsfw. But they know "they were only adults for 3 mins!" is a less effective talking point. :/ So yeah.

TL;DR: I do not buy for one second that the person who made this Tweet did it out of any genuine concern for racism, but instead as a way to keep people rallying against the person they hate this week. And this is usually what fantis do. Keep an eye out for it.

Black Women have been sounding the alarm about the grifter for many years now. He shows up as the hero during people’s darkest moments, centers himself, claims credit for everything, and makes off with their money. If you fall for the grift, it really is on you this time

I hopw you know your mental illnes dont matter right now. Glad you could care about your health but lmfao you so FUCKING DISUSTING. million of CHILDREN HAVE DIED and you go in thw balls to go and say "you are not obligateddd unu!!! Mental health more important than thisss 🥺🥺🥺" no wonder you are a proshipper you so SELFISH lmfao

Oh, look. An abliest piece of shit using politics as an excuse to be an abliedt piece of shit. No wonder they're anon is an antishipper. They're all joyless, politics obsessed, terminally online assholes who have to try to emotionally abuse others in order to manipulate them and to feel good about themselves.

I don't know how to tell you, but prioritizing oneself is something that basically every healthy person does, and nobody cares about your fake activism.

I don't want to see or talk about it beyond brief reading because otherwise, it'd be harmful to my mental state. I have severe depression and anxiety, and emotional trauma. That is a limit and boundary I have and people have to just respect it instead of being selfish slacktivists.

The internet has ruined activism, I swear to the Gods.

I'm writing this as a separate post to group my entire thought process before I move on from the light drama from my last "toxic religious people" post because whew... it's just mind boggling people like this exist and don't understand they're the bane of their own existence.

I am... amazed that someone can prove word by word that someone speaks the truth, but be disagreeing with them and denying it the entire time.

Psa, if you think nobody should be talking about the problems within cultures and groups and religions because anybody can be evil, in the sense that they can come from anywhere, don't call yourself an activist for anything.

It's unhelpful rhetoric to tell someone that they are starting problems for no reason because you think that since bad people come from anywhere, there's no reason to complain at all. That makes no sense. That would mean progress for anything would never be made because our voices and protests would never be heard until it's too late. That's how many issues are CURRENTLY happening, because the idea that it didn't need to be talked about until it becomes a main issue... makes it a main issue, and it's even harder to nip it in the bud after letting it grow to those proportions. The only time it shouldn't be encouraged to talk about religious problems is if it was based on racism, like antisemitism. Calling out some privileged people for weaponizing various religions to abuse people and manipulate them, is perfectly normal.

People are allowed to complain about anything bigoted or shitty upsetting them and if you're allowed to complain about them complaining, you're in an even more of a hypocritical (not to mention more useless) stance.

On top of that, if someone points out that toxic or shitty people do x y and z... don't fucking prove their point by doing those things then act like you're still innocent?

If I say, "alt religious people don't deserve to get away with being the worst versions of themselves but think they're a good person by hiding behind their religion since it isn't Christianity, and calling anybody who calls them out as 'mean'", bc I'm tired of the hypocrisy,

and you unironically start the dialogue by calling me mean... I'm shutting that down quick next time. Bc obviously your ego won't let you click things together and I'm not explaining anything to someone who can't see past their own smelly shit.

But on top of that, if you're bouncing from between saying that nobody like that exists to begin with *in "your" religion*, to saying that anyone from any religion can be bad and that someone is "fighting for no reason" when the post wasn't even hostile, directed at anybody, and just stating fact, and YOU inztead started a fight in the comments over it... you're just gaslighting at that point. You’re minimizing someone's voice because YOU don't find it important, and painting them as overreacting and starting shit after YOU started shit. You can pretend to be enlightened as much as you want but the dismissive, privileged, cruel behavior you portray speaks louder than any kind, performative words you could say about yourself in defense.

And then... using your religion to literally place passive aggressive, hostile intent on someone and freeing yourself from the binds of accountability and responsibility and looking like a bad person, by claiming that the other person (that you argued with and fought with for no reason) is being too toxic and that they need to heal and be more positive. It's literally proving the point that unhinged religious people will hide behind their religion to feel better about themselves even when they're doing terrible, no good things.

I just can't see how someone could just... not see the irony that they're the problem. That they checked off all the bullet points of what makes a toxic religious person a toxic religious person.

I basically said

Be religious person, have shit take or personality

Call someone mean for being called out

Weaponize religion in some way that makes them feel like they're not being shitty because they're "protected", and usually using it wrongly to avoid self reflection.

(In this case, by acting as though frustration and anger aren't normal feelings, whitewashing the concept of emotion to a more toxic positive "live laugh love" concept that was originally built on the premise to be racist and attack/ dismiss PoC beliefs like hoodooism and voodooism etc and paint them as evil; then deflecting the fact that they have no rebuttal because they're too ignorant for the conversation, by claiming that the other is too toxic or mean or "sad" and that they need a more "positive light. So they can pretend to be a good person because they're certainly "too positive" to keep the fight they started going, aka too afraid to cope with the consequences of their actions. After arguing and gaslighting for no reason, and pushing someone to the point of reacting negatively on purpose.)

And they... did every single one. Unironically. And yet probably think they're the victim. It's mindblowing.

This is why I hate a majority of religious people, and specifically religious people who think they're different just because they aren't a Christian, but sidestep and blame just like a Christian. This is why they needed to be called out- it makes them too uncomfortable and they lash out and reveal themselves for the hateful, unhealed, toxic, argumentative, and highly reactive people they are, whilst having an unhealthy superiority complex toward anybody who is open and honest about not being healed, being argumentative, and being reactive (bc it obviously makes them uncomfortable to see someone thriving in the truth, the rawness of their emotions and reactions, and still being right, while they struggle to be a good person despite all their toxic positivity and denial of perfectly normal emotions like anger and sadness and still ending up wrong). Maybe if someone can pinpoint and call it out, they can eventually fix it before it becomes irreparable.

The only thing is they're not adaptable, open minded, or mutable enough as a person to get that anger and negative emotion really has very little to do with those things- why do you think most abusive cis men can remain quiet while maliciously abusing and manipulating their wife, so they can call them a psycho woman afterward when they snap and start yelling? It's not calmness, and serenity. It's called a plotting, cunning, vindictive way to treat people. Its called forcing reactive abuse. It's called darvo. Whatever you want to call it, it's not because pretending to be at peace actually makes you at peace.

If demonizing negative emotions were about true calmness, they wouldn't need to react to anything anybody says or does with cunningness or passive aggressiveness to begin with. Being at peace isn't to go poke the bear, then walk away with chew marks, believing that you did nothing wrong only when you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. True peace is leaving the fucking bear alone because you don't have a need to bother it into anger to begin with, just to prove you're more reasonable.

White performative activism has strike once again. It's all about shock-value and going viral for them, or in other words: seeking attention. They never actually go after the cause, or actually taking down the main sources; the government, CEO's, big companies and its headquarters, the military and police, the whole legal system, and those rich hedge funds assholes.

It's always the collateral minimum wage workers, and poor people —who just so happens to work under fast food restaurant chains or other exploitative companies for pure survival— who are the target.

What is showing up nude with body paint on while marching on the street gonna do for the oppressed? What is cutting off your greasy unwashed hair gonna do? What is splashing a can of soup on a painting gonna do? It doesn't mean shit, except giving white bitches attention that they desperately seek.

It ain't about ya'll.

We need to dismantle these fake activism.
