#no ignore the real victims

[beanghostprincess]

I gotta say it bothers me an insane amount when people refer to the Vinsmoke Brothers as "grown-ups" and say they were old enough to know what they were doing during WCI. Because despite agreeing on the fact that yes, they are abusers and Sanji has all the right in the world to not forgive them, the thought of them being irredeemable, especially emphasizing their age... Feels wrong.

People seem to think that once you turn 18 you're all grown-up and aware of your own actions, but when you've been manipulated and used and abused since the day you were born, no you are not. Abuse stops your normal growth and understanding of your surroundings and the development of a personality. And I am not saying they didn't know any better or justifying shit because they are awful people and there's no excuse for what they did to Sanji. But their whole story is about how they didn't grow up at all and are used as machines, and about how Sanji grew up too fast.

Sanji knew what torture was at the age of 8 but his brothers don't know what actual love is being 21. And I think both situations are extremely fucked up.

Referring to somebody (especially somebody who has grown up in a toxic environment) as mature and an adult (as an excuse to say they are aware of what they're doing completely) when they're 21 is just so wild to me because first, the didn't have a chance to grow up at all, and second, it's just 21 how the hell is 21 that old for you? People justifying the actions of teenagers but suddenly deeming people in their early twenties as "old enough to know better" is stupid. You don't turn 18 and suddenly become aware of good and bad out of nowhere. They were clearly caged and trapped in that cycle of abuse and didn't grow up at all.

Neither Sanji nor the viewers have to forgive the Vinsmoke brothers for their behavior at all, but you can admit somebody is redeemable and had a shitty life and they're the way they are because of their abuse without actually justifying their actions or forgiving them. Yes, fuck the Vinsmoke brothers. They're horrible people. Sanji should hate them and if the story ever makes him forgive them I will be extremely furious, I would despise that. But acting as if they were inherently evil and being +18 made them mature and emotionally aware all of a sudden is just not understanding their characters in the slightest.

#sorry that ask about niji made me sad about them #and i've seen so much people hating them in the wrong way #hating the vinsmoke brothers is sooo valid and real and true #ignoring the abuse they have also been through tho? that's. that's just not okay #thinking a character is evil and hating them is valid but at least understand WHY they are like that #you don't have to pity them or forgive them or justify their actions. you can still hate them y'know #what's the point of character depth if you ignore their depth lmao #one piece #vinsmoke siblings #vinsmoke ichiji #vinsmoke niji #vinsmoke yonji #not tagging reiju this is not abt her she's another type of victim in here rn #black leg sanji

every time i see art of boxleitner and wordgirl in an explicitly father-daughter scenario i sit there gritting my teeth and fists clenched like thats not her father thats not her father thats not her father thats not h

#like nothing wrong with it ig.... ? like ur not evil and ur not terrible for liking it #but she has a dad. a pretty good dad in fact (well minus that one ep. lalalaala) #but steven is her weird uncle at best and strange neighbor at worst #hes a mentor and a trusted adult but still not her dad #and i know this owes to the writing of the show and steven is everyones fav blorbo (mine included!) but i very much dislike how in so many #cases this white guy is becoming number one dad to this child of color as if she doesnt have a loving family at home #like ive been thru the owl house trenches and im kinda sick of white favoritism esp in the parental space #like in the case of toh how everyone really fawned over eda being a “good mom” to luz while camilla was highly criticized for a while before #everyone warmed up to her . and even then i dont think she was wholly liked #despite her also being a victim of ableism and potentially undiagnosed neurodivergence. her good intentions doesnt negate the harm she #caused but thats a good char exploration and plot driver between mother and daughter and its a really unique exploration of motherhood ive #seen in kids tv. and its smth i envisioned for wordgirl and her own parents who are good intentioned but still have room to grow for their #kids. #i can see why steven is popular as a father figure bc we see a lot of him and he is a guardian figure in the show that wg misses but #i still think that a big part of wg's char is someone who is split btwn being a normal girl and a hero. in this case steven is her #“superhero dad” (i say this non-seriously just to make a point) with her real parents representing her “normal” side #and exploring how she reconciles these experiences and even these adult figures in her life could be interesting! #but cutting out her parents and only having steven as a father or primarily showing him as being doting and loving of wg kind of feels like #its ignoring a huge point of conflict for wg and also kind of mischaracterizing steven as well

Some people really saw George and Dream essentially do victim blaming and actually suggest silence is consent and actually proceeded to still support the two, huh?

#georgenotfound #dream #lets be real these people were always gonna support george #the way it was like 'i believe george!' instantly and crap #and ignoring the red flags like implying that small stuff like laughing and acting playful is consent in the process #like ah yes laughter and acting playful and silent yes's...definitely consent....dear fucking god.... #and the fact that dream also supported him instantly and actually added to the victim blaming and silence is consent shit #beyond vile

my headcanon on the little incident with snape and remus and the whole werewolf thing is that Sirius didn't actually tell Snape how to get past the tree. As we know Snape was extremelly talented in legimency, so he was goating Sirius to tell him something and read his mind, Sirius was distracted so he had his defences down. When he tells James he claims it's his fault and that he told Snape because Sirius blames himself for letting Snape read his mind and not being cautious enough and protecting his mind, but he never says what really happened to anyone so Remus always thinks he willingly shared the secret when that is just not true.

James knows because he and Sirius share one brain even tho Sirius never told him, he just knows.

#harry potter #sirius black #james potter #remus lupin #severus snape #the incident #Sirius never did anything wrong ever #Sirius blames himself #Remus never asked #so Sirius never explained #James Potter is the real deal #like that FATHER #Severus Snape is a legimens #legimency #oclumency #Snape is a character who loves to victimize himself #why anyone ignores that when analizyng canon is beyond me #pro sirius black #pro james potter

That chicory person you linked is not only a proud incest shipper (ew) but also amenable to fascist ideology in a way that far exceeds tastes in fiction. Of course, I don't expect better from Draco Malfoy likers. Honestly, I pity the lot of you. I can't imagine being grown adult women who are THIS bad at reading a children's series.

Unlike my boy Draco, I don't waste time engaging with people who degrade my personal character.

PS. I'm not a Draco liker, I'm a Draco lover. Do your research!

#anti draco haters #draco malfoy #pro draco malfoy #if you cant ask me a question without insulting me get lost anon #hp fandom critical #as for chicory i only post the parts of her meta that i find interesting #if you have an issue with her beliefs just ignore it and move on #I dont think she supports facism though #and she does not support real incest which is what ultimately matters #anon hate #anti self righteous draco antis #like i care one iota what you think #save your worthless pity for real world victims

Everytime I see an Bail Organa erasure and people on tiktok said Leia should forgive Vader for blowing up her planet and giving her trauma because he is her "biological father" and "he is already going to the light side" I wanna crawl on the screen and strangle them yeah you can have fun with your headcanon about Anakin but don't forget that who ACTUALLY raising the twins .Sorry but Owen, Beru and the Organas are real parents to Luke and Leia for me

#also padme deserves recognition for being a queen not just being a dead mom and anakin wife #i like anakin but people ignoring every of his victims's trauma including his kids and said they should forgive him is pissing me off #leia organa #anakin skywalker #padme amidala #luke skywalker #star wars #leia never accepts vader as her dad in canon she is so real for that #owen lars #beru whitesun #bail organa

people who've never experienced abuse should not be talking about abuse victims and their behaviour, while simultaneously labelling them as an abuser. you don't understand, and you never will, what it's liked to be abused and to have to become bigger than what scares you at such a young age. your only role is to support abuse victims. don't inappropriately contribute to conversations that don't involve you. and also don't contribute to conversations if you're still stuck in the "well im an abuse victim but i didn't-!" mindset

#i've told this fandom to grow up more times than i can count #you're all so immature #i hope real life hits you soon #and shows you that not everything is pure and sweet and simple #i'm exhausted #stop actively seeking out problems #if you don't like what someone else likes then just ignore them #it's that easy #block and ignore #don't attack random people who relate to an abuse victim

[hellaverse-critical-confessions]

this has been said many times by many people over the past couple of years, but im only invested in ozzie fizz and verosika. why did my brain hyperfixtate on the lust ring and literally not give a shit about anyone else? no clue! all i know is i expect the next few eps to do them dirty and i kinda wish i could adopt them as ocs at this point

Hey, I've kinda done that with a canon character too! I'd say go right ahead; those are your babies now. Canon can't touch them /lh

But yeah, your concerns are valid, Anon. I was so excited to hear Striker made a return in Western Energy only to witness such a character massacre. At this point, anyone with a S1 antagonist for a favorite might as well pray they don't show up again :")

And in regard to the "oddly specific hyperfixation regarding the show" part:

🤝

Same here, Anon. Same here

#confession #I've been into the Gluttony and Envy rings personally #also Wrath a little bit #not on such a canon character-focused level but like. OC centic stuff. general worldbuilding. as well as the various demon species #Gluttony could've had insect demons! and it disappoints me that it didn't! I get that Hellhounds are from there but we could've had both #as for the characters you've mentioned. Verosika HAS been said to have a way bigger role in the future #and thus far she's been quite consistently framed as The Bitch in spite of being a victim of Blitzo's jackassery #so. like I said. valid concerns in that regard #but the Fizz and Ozzie ep may be coming up very soon now and I'm real curious. we won't have to wait long to find out the degree of damage #though no matter what happens ignoring canon always remains an option. and often the wisest one 👍 #helluva boss #helluva critical

So I made a post some months back. It was my most popular post for a while, not sure why but, it was. But in light of the new chapter I wanted to bring it back up.

At the time, this post had shippy connotations and still does but, I want to talk about the bigger part of the post. I’m sure we can all agree that the picture that chapter 370 is painting is far more important than any possible canonicity of a fanon pairing. I got a lot of reblogs on this post talking what I put in tags so I’d like to extend my point.

I saw people talking about how this chapter is boring and not important and I felt disappointed… but I realized why they feel like that. Because this part of the story isn’t relatable to everyone. It’s the same reason people call Deku a bad MC. The same reason most of the western audience reduces Uraraka to just a love interest. The reason why people find it hard to empathize with and understand Touya or Bakugou. They can’t relate and are only here for the fight scenes. Which is fine. We’re all products of our environments and experiences so yea it’s okay to not find a certain plot line relatable but to say that it’s boring and “not important to the story” is saying that you’re unable to make out the bigger meaning and you’re kinda invalidating the real people that have actually experienced persecution.

The biggest conflict in mha arguably is the way people of authority treat others based on their looks, quirks, and talent. And we can take Bakugou and Hawks as examples for why mindless praise and ego strokes at such a young age can be just as bad as being looked down upon and bullied. They’re different experiences but both resulted in toxic mindsets about themselves and changed the mindsets of the people around them as well (the hero commission seeing hawks’ talent and training him to be a warrior essentially [like nagant but her experience started much older], bakugous friends and teachers praising him to the point where his ego inflated and causing the people around him, including his parents, to believe that he’s an untouchable force that never and shouldn’t need help [minus deku, which is where their conflict came from]).

The mutant rebellion is just a more obvious way of telling what’s been going on for the entire story. Which goes back to the tag in my original post:

I think the morals of the story is why it’s [mha] is more attractive towards POC, the lgbt community, those that have been looked down upon for being different, or people that have experienced having expectations they couldn’t reach being thrown on their shoulders…

What’s being explained in this chapter isn’t just some plot device. It’s a moral that’s applicable to real life and you saying it’s not important makes you look like a prick. And it’s not just an issue amongst individuals, it’s an issue highly influenced by celebrities and government officials. Making it a systemic and societal issue, just like it’s being portrayed in mha.

tl;dr

If you can’t relate to anything that’s going on or being said in the recent chapter and you don’t like it, shut the hell up and skip the chapter. Let the people who can relate gain a little bit more respect for Horikoshi for even thinking about addressing an issue this blatantly.

#bnha #bnha 370 #bnha manga spoilers #it’s a shame how people see others persecution as plot device instead of actually listening to what the author is saying #like with the Dahmer series (which I refuse to watch tbh) how some people started calling it silly goofy #and people taking pictures of interracial gay couples and saying how it reminds them of Jeffery dahmer #it just seems like people see minority groups as play things for entertainment purposes #the choice to ignore these issues in a story and call it boring reflects on how you react to the same issues in real life #because guess what persecution is a real thing and still happens today #also notice how the only black man in the story (that’s from Japan) is also on the field with spinner #as a black woman that’s apart of the lgbt community and victim of racism and bullying #i hope you step on a lego

bro....

#i am realizing that i never really had a support system #my 'best friend' has been there for me but in regards to *real* abuse? she's ignored it and told me it was my fault #like. when the abuse was actually happening and id come to her for help. she blamed me #now.... what's weird is that if i came to her confiding in her MONTHS after the abuse she'd support me #is this a common trend abuse victims face? that while in the midst of abuse they're subjected to even more of it #and then when they're no longer being abused they're given support?

Non-sex workers shut the fuck up and listen to sex workers challenge

#Sunny Life #treating all sex workers as poor trafficked victims that can't speak for themselves is so fucking infantilizing dude #real feminism is when you consistently speak over a marginalized group and ignore everything they say #esp when the bottom line is just 'men bad bc they pay women for sex GROSS!!! DEHUMANIZING!!!!' like dude

Just a reminder of what this conflict actually, tangibly means for the Jews in your life while you get to sit at your desk untouched by this violence.

#Antisemitism #Current Events #Israeli-Palestinian Conflict #TW: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict #And of course Muslim people are also facing increased rates of violence too #I'm not ignoring that #I'm saying that maybe if you aren't personally affected by this conflict (such as being at increased risk of violence) #It's time to shut the fuck up #What do you actually think you're doing by tweeting and reblogging and sharing on Facebook? #You are doing nothing to concretely support the civilians who are suffering #Or the global victims of antisemitic and Islamophobic violence #Next time you think about hitting reblog on a post about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a white goy #Donate a dollar to UNICEF or Save the Children or the URNWA #If you do this every time you think about sharing a post that cannot possibly affect you in any way #You will probably have donated hundreds of dollars while refusing to spread information that palpably leads to violence #If you find that you cannot afford to donate to those organizations every time you think about this #Then perhaps you cannot afford to have so many opinions #Because you are not helping anyone and you are concretely making things worse for real people

revoking people’s right to talk about the tolstoy marriage until they write and turn in to me a ten page essay on complex relationships

#‘tolstoy STOLE from sophia’s diary’ almost certainly not true. #at least not in the usual vein - sophia was (and should be credited as!) at the very least his editor and collaborator #with w&p at times i want to say co author but i also dont think we should diminish the importance of editing #they worked as a team! and in the later years when thier relationship was increasingly frought they were BOTH reading each others diaries. #the problem is there is genuinely an avenue to talk about how tolstoy drew from real life in less than ethical ways #tanya bhers/natasha rostova for instance. THE KREUTZER SONATA! FOR INSTANCE! #but diminishing it down to oh he stole from her is. a disservice to both of them. #sophia confessed her love by writing a story that blatantly copied real life and lev’s personal insecurities confessed in confidence #and honestly that isnt even BAD like there is a reason they were happily married for 25 years! they’re work is similar they were a team! #we dint need to flatten it out to sophia-wife-victim lev-husband-abuser. #nor do we need to ignore the many ways sophia suffered! #it’s just theyve been reduced to a famous literary disaster marriage when they really… werent that. #gabby.txt #genuinely tanya as the inspiration for natasha is far more upsetting to me than giving his diary to sophia before the wedding. #idk. idk! its like on one hand im so fully on sophia's side and im so happy that her diaries and writing are being translated #and. not even on the other hand these ideas arent in opposition to each other. reducing her marriage to a flat picture of suffering is. bad #actually i think in many ways the problem is solved by looking at sophia as an author instead of a wife. #which like. she was very much both. but if we afford her the agency afforded to an author i think the conversation immediately gains nuance #and that also comes with the caveat of female authors being far less respected - look at nadezhda khvoshchinskaya - but still #anyway GOOOOD morning

hard drives now

This and the other ask are not worth my time to answer, but I am not a pedophile. I'm sorry tumblr's got your head on backwards, most of he world can tell the difference between reality and fiction. If you find age gap ships so problematic, you better hold those same silly standards against Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Fruits Basket, etc., and a variety of other works tumblr adores. Oh, wait, you're all talk and you'll still buy merch and financially support the creators while only whining and whinging online about the aspects you dislike because you suddenly know how to consume media critically when it's official, but fail to do so when it's just online fanwork that has a much smaller audience, is tagged so you can easily block it, and the creator makes no money off of it.

(The funniest thing was when antishippers were warned about in Japanese fandoms so artists could pre-emptively block them to avoid harrassment, so a bunch of antis started hiding it from their bios, so they can still consume the art they like by those artists. Hypocrisy at its fnest!)

You can go through my whole hard drive and phone, etc., and you will find nothing, because I'm sex-repulsed due to actual real life childhood sexual abuse. I don't consume any pornography and I think the whole industry is vile and exploitative. Happy trails, anon, it's charming how you feel the need to hide behind anonymity if you're sooo certain you're in the right.

But because my phone's only been here since August on account of my old phone finally breakng so much it can't function as a phone anymore, l'll happily oblige once I move back home and have wifi and share a video of my entire phone gallery (I already deleted my hijab-less pictures), for your viewing pleasure. It's going to be boring. Hospital, medical, some bird pictures, my plushies, and tons of Bashou & Buson art. There's only around a thousand pictures in gallery.

#replies #anonymous #usually I ignore idiots breaking my DNI (such as antishippers as most conflate shipping things in fiction with endorsing them in real life) #but this is mildly amusing #antis harrassing actual CSA victims and survivors over fandom instead of helping real people: the saga #anyway i'm leaving the rural village hospital today! #there's wifi at my apartment
