One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).

And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?

Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.

Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.

And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.

Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

#squiggposting #and like dont get me wrong barber wasnt trying to make cybertronians the bad guys or whatever #it's just a problem with his writing where like. he has A Message he wants to send #and so he uses the entire story literally just for The Message even if it involves bullshit plotlines #or familiar characters ppl were reading about for the past decade being shit on by OCs made up to fill a new roster #like barber's writing tends to lean way too much on a sort of lecturing tone #without giving proper care towards including moments where characters get to like. fucking express themselves and share their side #sort of like how barber couldnt be bothered to write pyra magna and optimus actually talking to each other during exrid #and instead during OP ongoing pyra is suddenly screaming about how OP is unteachable #even tho she never even tried to teach him bc she and OP never interacted bc i guess barber couldnt be bothered #he just needed someone to lecture OP so fuck making the story make sense or like letting OP get to say anything in defense #this is the infuriating part of barber's writing bc i think he has incredible IDEAS and was in charge of the lore i was most interested in #but most of the time his execution sucks and he's basically just mid with a few brilliant moments occasionally #or like he has a message about the cycle of violence he wants to convey #but his narrative choices trying to convey that theme made his story come off as super unsympathetic to the ppl who suffered #to the point where barber actively kneecapped some scenes that couldve been super fucking intense and emotional #in favor of the characters lecturing each other or some stupid plot to criticize OP #that time in unicron where windblade screamed about how this is their fault and then arcee replied that her planet is build on coloniation #shouldve happened more often than literally the last series of the ocntinuity. like goddamn stfu about your moral superiority #when your own sins are right fhere lol

#trying /really really hard/ not to let the overuse of terms such as 'secular' bug me here at school #but honestly I'm starting to get annoyed with it :') #ugh dear Lord I am trying SO HARD not to be argumentative and annoying and avoid my real problems in life by being snarky and unteachable #but it is HARD SOMETIMES LOL #bc I really want to argue #I really need the energy release it provides #even when I don't really care about the subject being argued about #college complaining #I think I'm using a different tag by accident every time lol #I'm trying so hard to grow up and put away childish things but I'm feeling so worn out. the problems aren't fixed. #and venting on tumblr isn't fixing it but I don't want to ask to schedule another appointment with my councilor bc I know it costs a lot #and I don't want to burden anyone here at school with my problems. that's self-seeking isn't it? and it's not fair to expect other people t #fix my problems. #I should turn to Christ alone since He should be enough for me. right? #I don't know and I hope I'm not being rude or blasphemous but I'm tired some of the depression/anxiety symptoms are showing up again #and I don't want to go back to shaking in fear and not being able to get out of bed for days in a row

The trouble with humans is that over our history our capacity for empathy didn’t evolve at the same pace as our capacity to do harm.

Doing harm is easy. Drop a bomb, kill a couple hundred thousand people.

Grieve and mourn and have empathy for those people and their families and a traumatized country? Really really hard. Maybe even impossible. Actually having empathy for each human murdered would crush any individual person.

Empathy is a skill that we have to learn and stretch and grow just like any other, and instead we learn how to kill each other and the planet.

#empathy #anti capitalism #evolution #wtf is wrong with people #we’re like kids in a sandbox except we’re tossing all the sand out and soon we’ll have nothing left to play with #expect actually we teach kids better than we yeah adults #like sharing is caring and love your neighbour and shit #and then we spend their teenage years UNteaching that #maybe we just should stay at kindergarten level and the world would be better off

i'm thinking about how disappointed h.annibal would be that c.larice can't cook and instead is an absolute disaster in the kitchen, often cutting herself with knives and knocking shit off the counter. unless she's baking, then she's in her element.

#she's also unteachable #she will burn water #META.

@matatuaotearoa: Unteach Racism began a year ago. If you haven't already begun your journey in #UnteachRacism, start here by watching Taika Waititi's story!

We’ve created Unteach Racism to help teachers in #Aotearoa New Zealand identify, confront, and dismantle racism.

Racism grows when it goes unnamed and unchallenged. As teachers you have an incredible power to lead change and dismantle racism in education. Your impact is profound and enduring in the lives of children and young people.

On days when I think I’m making up the abuse I suffered as a kid I remember how I almost failed art class in fifth grade. By that point it was so ingrained in me that the only way I had worth was if I achieved perfection in school and I couldn’t figure out how to do that in art. I stopped being able to complete assignments. Then I stopped being able to turn in assignments. There are something like three separate assignments in that class I wasn’t ever able to start because I sat down and had panic attacks over it. I was pulling straight A’s in all of my other classes but in art I was constantly in trouble for not doing my assignments. Not too long ago one of my sisters messaged me asking ‘hey, do you remember that year for mothers birthday where she told us we could just make her some art, except for you because you were ‘bad at it?’” Yes I remember. I also remember giving my mother a report card and hearing her ask ‘can you explain why there’s a B here?’ The same quarter you were praised for having a B because it was your highest grade. Children are not characters in sitcoms, you can’t just decide one of them will be ‘the smart one’ and punish them when they end up being an actual person.

#I mean I also remember being beaten which is objectively worse #but I simply do not hit people #trying to unteach myself that my value is purely based on my ability to perfectly perform a task is way fucking harder #also I miss being able to draw #I went to a casual art session with friends and had a whole fucking breakdown trying to paint some happy whale sharks #mine #ugh not to vent or whatever #just getting upset at this late hour lmao

by Thomas Manton | Because there is so much corruption in a man that hindereth the soul from believing in Jesus Christ, that it cannot be done away without the Spirit's manifestation. There is a double seat of this corruption—the mind and the heart. First, in the mind there is ignorance and unteachableness. Secondly, In the heart there is obstinacy and carelessness...

i wish people werent so ~Christian~ about morals and punishment and wrongdoing and redemption and forgiveness and--

#personal #vent #ig. #isnt this the childhood trauma and mentally ill media #if u understand that negative reinforcement does nothing for a child... then... #why do you insist so heavily that people who have done wrong should face severe punishment and only then can they ''redeem'' themselves #newsflash asshole #redemption isnt something you earn #redemption honestly... as we see it at least... doesnt even really exist #you cannot make others forgive you. just as others cannot force someone to change #its something you choose #redemption is personal #its more of a personal promise you make to /yourself/ #you cannot do something that truly forfeits your rights as a human #so theres nothing to ''redeem''. you never lost it #its infuriating and honestly Triggering to see this shit #ive spent several several years trying to unteach all the toxic ass shit i was taught from religion #i dont really like having to listen and see other ppl spewing the same shit #that made me think i had to die and allow myself to be tortured to be worthy of love #ok sorry for getting trauma on main i just want to throw rocks at people
