#some victims and some evil ppl

[yardsards]

there's this annoying subsection of Internet Leftist that like, pays lip service to socialism but is also deeply entrenched in capitalist hyper-consumerism. like, you know that socialism isn't just "i can continue my same excessive and unsustainable consumption, but this time for free", right? 

like, of couse bread and roses and whatnot; any decent implementation of socialism shouldn't force everyone to live in bleak minimalist utilitarianism, and everyone deserves a bit of luxury in their lives. but certain levels of over-consumption are inherently unsustainable and inherently cannot exist without someone being exploited. "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism", but some kinds of consumption could not exist under socialism; would you be ready to give those up when the time comes?

#eliot posts #this isn't in regards to any specific person just a trend i noticed that annoys me #i am just bitching here this is not that deep lol #just like. okay yes mickayleighbethany‚ eat the rich‚ but are you willing to give up your $300 shein hauls? #relatedly: the people who hate the rich but deep down don't seem to really think richness should be abolished #they just think that THEY should be the billionaires instead #also ppl who shoplift and pretend it's to stick it to The Corporations but it's clear that that's just an excuse #and the real reason is just ''i wanted some eyeshadow and didn't feel like paying for it'' #and like. overall i don't think these ppl are like Horrible Evil Monsters who are Destroying Leftism #and i think that almost all of us (including me!) have fallen victim to consumerism from time to time #but GOD. these types of people are sooooooo irritating

we don’t talk enough abt how hickey was like „burn the maps billy” and no question billy was like „sure”

I feel with all of Shauna's..questionable decisions/ shitty actions, people forget that teen shauna can actually be..pretty kind/empathetic? Obv not the most out of the yellowjackets but she still has plenty of compassion, theres the stuff with Jackie you mentioned, but she was also by far the kindest to Javi, going up to the attic for Tai, she has a tendency to jump into action whenever someone's hurt/freaking out (Van, Mari , Lottie at seance), etc..some people will act like shes evil lol (sorry I'm pretty defensive of teen shauna😅)

OKAY THANK YOU 😭😭😭 i am also really defensive of teen shauna and i think her good side gets overlooked a lot because it's generally more interesting and plot-relevant to talk about is how fucked up she is and how much she sucks...and im not saying its not true!! but at the same time, yeah, i think it's easy to forget that she really can be sweet and kind and empathetic and like, just an actual decent person. going up to the attic with tai is a great example, and the seance too like you mentioned, i always think of how she's one of the first to try to comfort lottie and try to like, get her through the moment, because yes she is very good in a crisis. and i loved getting to see shauna take javi under her wing. its funny cause i saw a post about how shauna is nurturingcoded but not actually nurturing and i DO AGREE at least in regards to adult shauna but teen shauna was really sweet with javi, very big-sisterly, and i also think that instinct to jump in during a crisis and try to take care of people is pretty nurturing of her.

i dont have like a big unifying statement or psychoanalytic theory about why shauna is both compassionate and cruel but you know what, maybe it's a simple answer: she's complicated and contradictory, like most human people (and teenage girls) are! and it just so happens that the things about her that are fucked up are like, super fucked up. but thank you for mentioning her genuine good traits because i think they are underappreciated and its nice to remember that they do exist.

#sorry im going to say something that genuinely might be controversal but im hiding it in the tags #i think theres an impulse (on tumblr at least) to not fall into the trap of 'jackie is the mean girl and shauna is the victim/sidekick' #and it is CORRECT to avoid that because its simply not true! #but i also feel like it swings a little too far in the other direction sometimes #and suddenly jackie has never done anything wrong ever and shauna is the evil traitor who murdered her in cold blood #and obviously theres some truth to that but i just think sometimes ppl make them BOTH too one dimensional #they reduce jackie to only her good traits and shauna to only her bad traits #and on a show about complex and morally grey women why would we want to do that? #anyway. sorry. soapbox moment lol ill save the rest of my thoughts for an actual post sometime #yellowjackets #yj asks

once again asking ppl to please be normal about sex work when talking abt astarion

#i know this is in vain. but i’m asking #i don’t think ppl are necessarily being Intentionally weird abt it. but like #please. can we stop talking about sex work as some great evil? can we stop assuming sex workers are universally victims? #i know astarion himself makes a disparaging comment abt ppl who pay for sex in game and turns up his nose at the drow twins but. #that does not mean us the players need to do that. please. thank u #漫言

cant stop thinking abt that reply to bram's post abt the abusive cluster b parents so just know if u were abused like that, first of all, samesies and it gave me cluster b pds as a result, second of all, i promise no one whos calling for understanding of cluster b ppl is invalidating ur experiences. if u feel like they ARE, i sincerely hope u realise u dont have to have a medical explanation for why others suck. if ur parents sucked, u can just say that, and its freeing, and focusing on behavioural patterns instead of diagnoses (which u most likely dont have access to when it comes to strangers) will allow u to weed out actual bad ppl and keep urself safe(er)

#i understand its easy and comfortable to latch onto labels especially when it comes to parents #i did it #then i was diagnosed w the same shit #that was my turning point i think #when i realised we have the same shit and yet i am actively working very hard to be kind and compassionate #i dont go out of my way to be mean #at some point u have to realise that some ppl r just evil and mean spirited #and pds arent indicative of how self aware or kind or polite or compassionate someone is #i'd argue most of us put in SO much work to know ourselves and our potentially harmful behavioural patterns #way more than a neurotypical who never bothered to look inward for even a second #'these stereotypes dont come from nothing' #no shit! my dad called me both borderline and narcissist as insults AND I TURNED OUT TO HAVE BOTH #but let me tell u smth #most of my symptoms? are fucking survival mechanisms i learned as a child to avoid getting hurt. because thats what the brain does. #u know what else didnt come from thin air? sayings like hurt people hurt people #plus my victim complex allows me to write banger complaint letters now so theres that #look around u and be very comfortable w the fact that ur probably surrounded by a bunch of cluster b ppl that u adore #bc we're just ppl too #and ur doing urself a disservice trying to spot us #cluster b ppl can be evil ppl just as neurotypicals but they can also be ur friend who struggles w insecurities and is a huge ppl pleaser #bc they read the ableist posts too and they know everyone in the mainstream world thinks theyre evil #and when if u told them 'well my cluster b parents were abusive' in a less accusatory tone #maybe theyd look u in the eye w compassion and say 'yea i know how that feels and im here for u'

Actually the funniest example of Megatron apologism (neutral) I've seen is when people call it biased and rigged for Optimus to be the judge for Megatron's trial, but have nothing to say about the fact that Optimus let Megatron on the Lost Light AS CO-CAPTAIN which is ALSO incredibly rigged and biased and no one wanted it and Optimus barely had the authority to even do that.

It just seems like a case where people will always take the angle/interpretation that favors Megatron as a victim of Autobot eeeevillll, so they harp on how unfair it was for Megatron to be put on trial, but completely skirt over exactly how and why Megatron even got to serve parole/not rot in prison in the first place. I guess because it would disrupt the ever-present fan wank about how actually Megatron is being victimized for being put on trial and those Autobots are "just as bad" (lmao).

#squiggposting #i hate it too like #bc i DO see and agree with their takes to a point. about how the autobots arent all good #but their evidence is often cherrypicked and taken out of context. angled in the most biased way possible #it's like. bro i could've maybe agreed with you but your argument/evidence kind of sucks #you could make that argument much more compelling if you turned down the impulse to go cons good bots bad #also ppl seem to not understand that a character claiming something doesnt mean it's true #whether theyre deliberately lying or having a knee jerk reaction or not privy to key information #it's just. characters like megatron and prowl are literally known for being skilled with words/propaganda #or for being manipulative as fuck #you can't take things at face value that are spoken by notorious liars/manipulators/propagandists #especially ones like M and P who sre incredibly self righteous with no self awarenezs #but like back to the text of the post...what i mean is like #ppl will use OP putting M on trial as the judge as an example of his bias and M being victimized #but when an example of OP being biased in FAVOR of M comes up they barely give it credence #they only present the evidence that presents OP as some conniving evil bastard and M as a poor victim #in this context ppl need the evil autobots narrative so they only bring up the stuff that makes OP look bad and unsympathetic #do i need to pull out the mtmte receipts of M saying that being compared to OP is a compliment #or him saying that when OP hurts others he hurts himself

still thinking abt the tumblrinx i encountered a while back whose pinned post said they were transmasc… and also demanded that men dni

like—i’m not confused by the convoluted not-like-the-other-boys doublethink that gets you there, i can follow the chain of illogic just fine, but i sure am deeply wearily depressed by it!

#i know plenty of good men—good cis men even! gasp! #and i just think like. if we can’t move away from‚ like‚ cold gender war how the fuck do we move forward #fundamentally like. 100% block people who have behaved towards you in ways you didn't like. #but like. this whole thing where ~afabs~ preemptively self-victimize by conjuring up the creepiest cishet man they can imagine #and self-harm by worrying abt that imaginary guy jacking off to them #is just like. i understand how it happens but it’s like. you’re actively doing negative visualization #and‚ like‚ preemptively self-victimizing #ime it feels a lot better to move through the world unworried‚ in the knowledge that if someone says sth gross to you: you can block them! #anyway ultimately i’m pretty clearly making this post bc i'm overdue to unfollow the tirfiest blogger i’m currently following #like. yeah loads of cishet men are shitheads but ~misandry~ is so last decade #and frankly i don’t have a lot more time for the cishet women who have bought into the same system—like i have some sympathy but. #these people all get warped by the system into complementary fucked-up cogs whose teeth bite into one another #and i’m just not interested in biting back—i want to leave all the biting behind in the dust of the junkyard that birthed it #and like. i don’t want to dismiss the oppression that births this sort of rhetoric. it's super real and it's toxic and it fucks people up. #but it’s like. when people have bad dads and then are like Dads R Always Bad!!! #and i’m just over here like. i don’t know how to say this without sounding like i’m invalidating you but my dad was a fucking saint tbh #not perfect dgmw but like. a sweet gentle encouraging man who got ground down by my mother’s toxic heel along with the rest of us #so like. actually not only are you closing yr eyes to a better future‚ yr closing yr eyes to other ppl’s lived realities #like i personally managed to have a totally life-ruining mother without deciding Mothers Are Ontologically Evil Actually! #idk. obviously women remain *enormously* systemically oppressed! but surely we can acknowledge and decry that without #implicitly rhetorically closing off any possibility of a gentler queerer gender dynamic? #anyway none of this is revolutionary i’m just like. i KNOW the fascists want to cut off my toes and force me into the glass slipper #of viciously constrained femininity #that in turn makes itself feel better by sneering at men‚ critiquing other women who Do It Wrong‚ and exerting control over children #so i have strong personal cause to care about misogyny even if i didn’t care about it in the abstract #but i just think like. acting like traditional gender roles and dynamics are a fixed truth we can only bruise ourselves on #instead of a human construction that we can undermine and work to topple #is not actually the path to a healed world in the long run! #anyway. beta edition post (thumbtyped & not reread): may contain bugs.

some of yall rly just dislike ftms and are proud of it. not all of us are """"transandrophobia truthers""""" and """"hate trans women and think we're better than them and think misandry is real""""" just bc we talk abt the very specific and REAL issues we face being both trans and men. the trans men who DO do this are not fighting for us and do not deserve to be taken seriously and generalized as the face of "transandrophobia" therefore all of the issues we are fucking begging other lgbt people to pay attention to get swept under the rug bc we're all just whack misogynists. im so done talking abt this. this is why a giant percentage of us go stealth and abandon the community that's supposed to help us. ive literally seen it happen. you people do not care about us and it is so glaringly obvious

#this is swinging a bat at a hornets nest because people will be so fast to claim im like a misogynist bc i recognize trans men have issues #like why do u want us to shut up so badly abt the oppression we face #i very much disagree with the guys who try to make it a competition and blame women for the issues because that is not the case at all #also trans women i know in real life have always been my biggest supporters and i ofc have shown them that same support #they KNOW how ppl view trans men they KNOW we're fighting the same fight #so it is absolutely batshit to 'blame them' and i personally never would #it is definitely the fault of cis people and this does not exclude cis queer people #most acts of transphobia i have personally experienced have actually been from people in the lgbt community #and it was TRANS WOMEN who stood up for me. trans women i hope u all know the right trans man who can actually fucking think with his brain #will always have your back #it just sucks that when we talk about our issues its immediately #oh you must HATE WOMEN HUH #like..no man. yall do hate ftms tho #u hate that we abandoned womanhood and you take it out on us and everything we do is policed like crazy #Whatever. its so upsetting truly #also im sorry but how come you guys can agree thst cis men can be victims under the patriarchy but for some reason trans men just arent #???? #maybe YOU are the ones who need to mske friends with ftms who dont live on tumblr and make stupid fucking comments about how evil women are #bc ive met misogynistic ftms too and yknow where they are in life? friendless and alone and miserable. #like not to pull a not all men but my God

I don’t trust people who say they like villains while also doing everything in their power to minimize or even erase the evil aspects of those villains

like... how tf can you say you like villains if ur trying so hard to remove/ignore everything that makes them a villain??

#like 'haha yeah i love this villain except for all of the evil they committed and their entire horrible personality you know?' #girl what #they aren't a villain anymore if you're ignoring canon and replacing their entire personality with one you like better that isnt evil?? #you like the IDEA of a villain #we are not the same #i see this so often with Springtrap specifically and i do not get it #you cannot excuse away the fact he murdered children there is no excuse for that stop trying to justify and paint him as a victim #he is not a victim he is not a good person he murdered kids and shoved them in animatronics #AND he was calculated enough about it to NOT GET CAUGHT #not one but TWO of his kids died to his own creations because of how neglectful a father he was #not everyone has secret good inside them stop trying to make villains less villainous let them be evil. #redeemable villains are cool and all but you cannot redeem a man who murdered children in such a clearly calculated manner #idk this is just such a pet peeve of mine man like... he's not good. he's the opposite of good. #idc if people make AUs where hes better but ppl specifically who ignore canon and priase him for being a good dad in canon just... #i dont get it. #the fuck kind of father figures did some of yall have for this to be your idea of a good dad #and i say this as someone who had both an absent bio dad and an abusive stepdad btw like. you think this is good parenting?? #you think this is an example of a good and loving father?? a good MAN?? #girl no this is abhorrent parenting and detestable vile behaviour on his part. #idk man i just dont trust people who ignore everything evil about a villain and prop them up as a pinnacle of goodness- #while also saying they love villains. like do you? do you really? #Springtrap especially is a horrible vile man. I love him anyways though. He's a despicable bastard but he's MY despicable bastard <3 #sassy says

(slight gore tw in the tags) BRO i was wondering where ppl were getting these dottore crumbs but i randomly stumbled across one of them while exploring between geo cube runs. "the dissection records" hdjfjdjdjfj

#it tells the fatal wound on the victim is the fractured hyoid bone and they had asphyxia #but there are lacerations contusions on organs and hemorrhage HHDKGKDHDJJF #i was wondering why everyone acted as if this was common knowledge but yeah #indeed someone developed feelings for dottore on one of his trips and he choked and dissected them #HFKDHSHFJFBD I LOVE THIS i love that a villain is truly allowed to be pure evil #at least for now....... we will see what they do when he becomes playable 💖 #(ppl said the victim was a woman but i cant be sure these specific records i found dont mention a gender) #(edit actually the writing is kinda hard to decipher like what is referring to what so #the fatal wound is 'the wound on the throat' and they also have a fractured hyoid so def strangled #but idk if bone fractures are called wounds......... they also say 'unable to ascertain the cause of death' #which is strange if they know the fatal wound. well in any case dottore was doing some freak shit which #led to them dying thats for sure hdjgkshhdkff. ALSO idk if the victim really developed feelings for him #thats just what everyone who talked abt this incident also said. ill have to see if i can find the other #records that give contex one day while exploring again)

ugh pls let bonnie kill the professor shane guy

there’s only room for one sleazy villain man on this show and that’s klaus (or kol)

#why didn't the show let her do it #why why why #tvd lb #when klaus does evil he does it the right way when shane murders ppl in some weird cult sacrifice or whatever #it's just weird man idk #maybe because klaus has the charisma and self-awareness to pull it off?? he won't pretend he's their friend #he enjoys toying with his victims in that typical klaus way but he's not pretending any of what he does are in the mystic falls' gang intere #interests #they are purely for his own benefit for his own selfish reason #and he's unapologetic about it which.... ironically makes him more likeable #to me at least #and shane's out here basically trying to exploit a teenage girl #not sexually obviously which makes it less gross but the fact of the matter is #he doesn't care about bonnie or helping her control her magic at all #and it's self serving in the sense that he's not upfront about it #:/

ik its a bad period of my life bc im rewatching atla

#i miss azula like i need to speak w her. #got to the jet ep and omfgggggg its so fucking stupid what if we introduced a character who is a victim of settler colonialism and wants to #fight back against his oppressors but we also made him attack old people and want to kill civillians so the audience know he is evil ! #and using it as the ep thesis of being like this is what happens when you let your rage consume you 😔 you start flooding villages and #robbing the elderly 💯 #and this trope is in so much like w thg. but i do have complicated thoughts on that that i haven’t completely sorted out but w atla…. #this wouldn’t bother me as much if the show was not constantly bending over backwards for the fire nation characters #like i don’t like iroh idgaf . and mai and ty lee are cool characters but it does grind on me that they got their happy endings #while characters like jet and hama had all that going on when mai and ty lee didn’t even have a moment where they realized ummm maybe what #the fire nation is doing is not actually good . maybe #like betraying azula was never abt hey maybe we shouldn’t assist her in perpetuating imperialism it was abt not being manipulated and #controlled by her any longer #idk theres a lot and im sure other ppl have said it better than me im still unclear on how i feel abt some things

[etoile-gracieuse]

hm. actually i think that i will not be on social media for the foreseeable future.

#constantly thinking abt the tweet thats like #i shudder to think abt how some of u wouldve reacted to the haitian revolution #murder of civilians is bad!! why is this only discussed when colonized ppl fight back and never #within the context of the actual colonization open air prison and apartheid conditions #the murders of children and journalists and other civilians is inexcusable. so lets think abt how the average age in gaza is 18. #i dont have any solutions to offer but like. wow there's some super dehumanizing shit going on #'70 killed in israel 198 dead in gaza' is literally a headline i saw today. israelis are killed palestinians just magically drop dead ig #thousands of palestinians have been murdered senselessly. that is ALSO evil like how can you not see that the conditions created set this u #said conditions created by european nations who were like yeah best option to deal w jewish refugees? colonization. #i thoroughly condemn hurting civilians. which means i thoroughly condemn israel for their actions since the beginning #AND i condemn hamas' attacks on civilians. bc you can do both! but ppl dont see palestinians as ppl so violence against them is w/e ig #like how can you watch the videos of palestinians being violently thrown out of their homes from like. 2019. and think 'yeah this is fine' #i just dont get it. how do u see a military that killed 220 ppl. shot 8k. injured 36k. when they did an UNARMED PROTEST. as THE victim here #analysis of the causes of things is not justification btw. i think terrorism is bad. but this didnt happen in a fucking vacuum #putting 2mil ppl in an openair prison after forcing them out of their homes. constant news stories abt killing children nurses + journalist #reducing their quality of life. pouring CEMENT IN THEIR DRINKING WATER???? is fucking evil shit

[johannestevans]

the thing about watching these trashy cop shows and medical dramas, as i do, is that casting directors always pick people who look "creepy" to them to be like, serial killers or Obvious Abusers

except that to them like. "creepy" just means people who are effete, queer, or clocky

so it's like, here's some dude and look how scary he's being… look how scary and creepy and weird this guy is…

and don't get me wrong, there's the close cousin of this trope which is like, "this person has autism, and is therefore scary", and that's not what i mean

it'll just be some actor who like, no matter how much they're in a str8 role, they're dykey or faggy - jane lynch gets it, but like, lori petty is a great example - she ids as straight, but bc she's got really dykey gender vibes, other straight people are unsettled by her

and i really love lori petty, but she's almost always put into either super hypersexualised roles and/or lesbian roles that are all about like. how Weird and Gross she is when it's just that casting directors rely HUGELY on cues for stuff like gender nonconformity

and so they're like "Oh this woman is capital W Weird (meaning we think she does gender Wrong, whether that means she's a lesbian or transmasc or just clocky in some other way)" and rely on people's bigotry to inform response to the character

james spader gets it all the time, bc he's got OCD and ppl can tell to look at him bc of how he moves and holds his hands and his body - bc there's a delicacy to him, str8 ppl will read him as a bit fruity, at least in comparison to other cis men

to the point that apart from often being cast in very sexy bisexual roles, he's even played a trans man now! (good for him i love james spader this is NOT a critique)

and similarly watching these shows they'll put a guy who is honestly just, to me, a fucking milquetoast white guy - BUT. he is JUST gender nonconforming enough or JUST is like. clocky enough as queer or trans or otherwise being "off" what str8 people want and expect

and they'd never be able to put their fingers on what it is. they'd say "oh you know, he's just a little creepy / weird / off" etc, it's often not just neurodivergence, it's like, facial structure, the movements of the face, the voice, etc. maybe some of it is intersex stuff

but it's the same stuff that to me would be like "hm, maybe he's one of us, maybe he's an SA victim, etc", but i wouldn't know that unless i talked to them more? they're POTENTIAL clues. whereas cishets will be like, oh, this means this person is Evil. then... casting directors

[decolonize-the-left]

Hey this might be a weird question but you seem to know a lot about the strategies TERFs use and what they're hiding, so I just wanted to ask and you don't have to answer.

Why do so many TERFs have this weird hostility towards bi and ace people? I don't think either of those identities have anything to do with being trans but I've seen so many TERFs who are also biphobic and/or aphobic. My gut instinct was that there was some large overlap between bi/ace people and trans people, but then I've found TERFs give shit to cis bis and aces so I'm not sure if it's that or some other reason. I'm not trans myself but I want to be able to recognize TERF rhetoric to be a better ally to trans people.

A couple reasons.

First one is that hating bis/aces is at the entrance of the TERF pipeline; they utilize this 'soft bigotry' to radicalize LGBTs and it usually looks like this:

To recruit queer ppl first they try to get us to stop considering aces as Oppressed. That's how it starts. They're aren't Doing anything so how can they be oppressed? They don't know what it's like to marginalized....how could they? They're just stealing the spotlight of Actually oppressed ppl

And once you accept that they turn to bisexuals. Who are only half gay, you know? And most of them date men anyway or end up marrying men so like? How the hell would they know what it's like to literally Live oppression 24/7? Do we we really want them to have a voice and speak for those of us that don't have an escape from our oppression?

This works because on the surface TERFS/Radfems appear to care about women and gender equality, which a lot of queer people obviously support. But they exploit those of us that don't know enough about feminism's intersectional (and very gay) history to identify them as bad actors.

From here the person they've targeted will either a- accept this and likewise will eventually also accept that trans oppression isnt real either (fulfilling the TERF's actual goal of recruitment) OR b- they'll realize they've been manipulated and try to deconstruct.

Secondly:

TERFs are white supremacist and their beliefs are founded white supremacist ideology and outdated scientific theories that Support white supremacist rhetoric.

It's called gender-essentialism which is a branch of bio-essentialism which is the belief that the biological body you have has inherent skills and abilities. Racists have used this to deny Black humanity just as TERFs use it to deny the existence of gender diversity.

But nobody is inherently weaker because of a uterus, nor are they bad drivers just because they have a uterus. All women are not good mothers just because they are women. Men are not all abusers just because they are men.

TERFs would have you swallow these beliefs; they're vital to maintaining the Core TERF Value that that trans people aren't Real and people with uteri are always helpless victims to be defended against evil men.

And as white supremacists their goal is to disrupt and destroy minority communities so that we are too divided to unify against legal attacks. TERFs do this from the inside out by putting bis/aces in a different category from the other queers while disguising their bigotry as feminist. They get us to voluntarily undermine and destroy our own movement this way by causing intercommunity "bi/ace discourse" that makes bis/aces out to be an enemy of "real" oppressed people (like transphobic lesbians for example)

Thirdly:

Lots of queer people are feminists which makes us easy targets and that's why they focus on the queer community. Additionally, the queer community has a history of being a threat to the white supremacist establishment so dividing us is vital to their goal of eventually wiping out anyone who isnt cis, straight, white, neurotypical, and able bodied
