i’ve been seeing some talk about how “this propaganda is so bad” and “they must think everyone’s too stupid to think” and stuff like that, and i just wanna say be careful not too internalize these thoughts so much.
yes, sometimes propaganda is easy to spot. there are things you see and immediately go “what the fuck, who’d believe that” and that’s GOOD. that means you’re noticing tactics, you’re questioning things, you’re practicing critical thinking.
but not all propaganda is so easy to spot. sometimes propaganda really is good, by which i mean skillfully done. convincing, even when you’ve practiced spotting propaganda. and that can be really dangerous!!
so, really what i’m saying is don’t get passive about propaganda. remember that, very often, it isn’t obvious. you need to do some digging, some thinking, and that thinking is WORTH IT. so worth it! you’re gonna find things you didn’t notice at first, and now you can point those things out. you can start dialogue about them.
keep pointing out the propaganda you do see. talk about it. be upset about it. recognize that you can be misled and that there’s no shame in correcting yourself. please keep thinking, analyzing, questioning, discussing, etc etc
remember that phrase “you are not immune to propaganda”? it will always, always ring true.
oh wow a great and interesting character with loads of issues and has faced troubles over and over again. i sure hope the fandom hasn’t ignored everything that they went through and reduced them to their bare characteristics such as their personality or physical appearance.
this is from my new request rules page, please keep this in mind even outside of requesting!! the word reader is not synonymous with the word female, i kind urge everyone to correctly tag and label their work. there are more than just women in fandom spaces.
hey guys , a bit of a serious post but from now on could you guys tw anything explicit about addiction/drug use? it’s a bit of a sensitive subject for me with personal matters happening rn 👍
i swear people really need to learn the difference between teasing and just hurting my feelings by sending me ratau death stuff just to get a rise outta me lol (not targeted because this literally keeps happening.)
Cool, feel free to joke about the tragedy of today but know that several children in the daycare at the base of the towers, their parents who worked there, first responders trying to help, and roughly 800 people in the 4 planes had to choose between being burnt alive or falling to their own deaths because it was faster.
I’ll leave some sources at the end but personality disorders are so so so rare when diagnosed under 18. Mostly cause your personality is still developing. And with ASPD its precursor is Conduct disorder which CAN be diagnosed to under 18 HOWEVER not always proceeds to ASPD as well as 18+ can also have conduct disorder. You can be diagnosed with BPD underage but it’s also rare.
But with many personality disorders you cannot or extremely unlikely. And many don’t even know what the actual disorder is. It is not edgy it’s an actual problem people have. Even at 18 many still have to wait til their older to be diagnosed.
Don’t feel much empathy? It could also be trauma related or depression. It’s not always ASPD.
