#you guys are just racist and ableist

[cock-holliday]

I get what people mean when they say things like “you should care about x whether it has to do with you or not, that’s just being a decent person” but sympathy only gets you so far! Coalition building REQUIRES people seeing their struggle in the struggle for others. It’s lovely for short-term work to say “oh I care for others so I’m doing this” but inevitably, actual engaged solidarity will come with a cost! And when that toll becomes too heavy, no matter how well-intentioned you begin, if you can think, “it’s not about me” you will cave!

No, every issue does not have to directly relate to you but if you cannot see where the systems overlap you will always be at the mercy of seeing yourself as separate from the struggle you support, and a wedge will be driven either through repeated “us vs them” conditioning (even seemingly polite allyship like ‘cis people don’t come to this trans rally’) OR when it becomes so costly to support as an ally, you will stop “sticking your neck out” for something that “doesn’t concern” you.

Movements die when people outside the affected group stop caring, but one group’s injury is an injury to your movement too. We are not all facing unique enemies but the many-headed monster that attacks us all. And focusing on revealing where our fights meet is infinitely more important to me, and to genuine solidarity, than separating out who is supporting a cause for “””selfish””” reasons.

#LJsm #the short term guilt trip shit is how you get people burning out so bad #cause they are overwhelmed caring about 62 ‘unrelated’ fights #and feeling like without giving time to all of them they are ‘bad allies’ #‘that guy only shows up to anti-cop rallies cause he hates cops for classism reasons and not xyz reasons’ #1. do we know that? can it not be both? #2. who do you think is gonna buy us time to escape a cop riot—that guy #or the liberal here terrified of looking racist/transphobic/homophobic/classist/ableist if he DIDNT come? #one of them says this is their fight (whether it’s for the ‘right’ reasons) #the other says ‘this has nothing to do with me—I’m just here to support (until it’s too risky)’

Black people should be able to beat one annoying white person to death every year because holy shit some of y'all have been getting on my nerves today

#i posted on my tiktok story how i loathe certain white folks lack of empathy #and then a bunch of white fucking weebs came out of nowhere to call me ableist #because some white folk really hate confronting the fact that actually #they are racist #because you can be racist in a way thats not violent #you dont have to be david dukes reincarnation to be racist #you can just be some guy from the suburbs #this is covid and the american education system and tiktok and twitters fault #complete thoughtlessness

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

Terf: women are oppressed for their genitals.

Me: spoken like someone who doesn't know the history of white women choosing to be sexually oppressed for racial privilege.

Terf: so you're saying women can't be oppressed? What's next, you're gunna agree with kayne about how slaves chose their oppression?

Me: white women are not the only women to exist, racist bitch. I said white* women chose their oppression, I didn't say women.

Yall expose your racism every fucking day on this app, terfs.

#radfems #terfs kys #gender critical just means bigot #white women forcing patriarchy onto black women isnt even being touched upon here but thats also another way white women chose #their sex oppression and actively vote against their rights as women to be racist or transphobic homophobic ableist classist etc #you guys are so racially ignorant on history its hilarious

guy that gets all up in arms about using the word retard but who uses a slur against natives in the same breath

#this is not a new type of guy this is twitter leftist infighting. #and somehow happens often enough for me to have seen it twice albeit in different circumstances. #i think the other one was also against using a slur but then used other really ableist language. so like ok. #theres a lot of ppl who are hyper vigilant as to certain types of language and words but then dont examine WHY certain language is ableist #or racist. theyll just repeat the 'dont say that word' and not understand WHY you shouldnt say it. or why you shouldnt say it in certain #circumstances. which leads them to just use other language without realizing how bad it is. #ask to tag #r slur #< jic #angel.txt

Phrenology sucks for so so SO many obvious reasons but its also just wild to me that people were really out there putting actual cartoon logic into psychology in the 1800s

Like every 12 year old on deviantart now knows the whole TRIANGLE SHAPE MEANS EVIL...ROUND MEANS FRIENDLY

But some dipshits with degrees were like. This is scientifically legit. If his eye is bigge he pretends to cry at The Theatre to seem vulnerable to the fairer sexe and is a Good Husbande. He will become rich because that is based on predisposition of course as the lorde intendede. The brain is made out of funny little Emotion Zones mine own best emotion is Smarte

Ok if we're going to live in looney toon land tell me what it means when my eyebrows raise above my head in shock and when my eyes bulge out and go awooga.

if my nose is perpendicular to my ears it means I'm about to sock you in the mouth. Youre going to have a big funny bump raise out of your head with a whistle noise when I'm done with you why don't you go write about it and then get a real job like. Uhhh idk what they did in the early 1800s probably fished eels out of the River Thames for jellied eel pies or some shit

#dullblogging #i wrote this during my brief break at work as a half formed thought #and held onto it bc like...maybe it is gauche to shitpost about it but i do feel its worth mocking and also has some pretty WILD shit #thats a rollercoaster to read #much more intellectual arguments could be made against phrenology #and i dont think i am equipped to write the actual takedown of phrenology im just some guy #and even though EVERYTHING in those days was ableist as fuck #and unexcusably racist #but phrenology wasnt even considered that great a theory even in its time like #you failed so bad even other racists and ableists didnt agree with you #saw one that labelled all the emotion zones of the brain with foods to improve that emotion like theyre humors #but it just looked like they were labelling parts of the brain as filled with beans and cheese LMAO #oh my god it literally was just THE HUMOURS...2 #Humors but Evil and Fucked up.

[qyriad]

I swear every mistake the trans community made and learned from the DID/OSDD community is determined to make all over again

#honestly it's *so* toxic #makes us reluctant to say that we have DID sometimes because we don't want to be associated with that #and like we know plenty of DID and OSDD systems aren't like that at all obvi #and this post isn't about you #*we're* a DID system ourselves after all #and we personally know plenty of other DID/OSDD systems that are great! #just sucks so much how bad so many others are #and say one word against it and you're 'anti-science' #like hi maybe we can question academia which is notorious for being racist ableist and elitist #and also has an excellent track record with how stunningly well they've done with autism #but just we should be able to criticize them and their takes without being completely dismissive of science as a whole #These things can and should coexist #And even if they don't call you anti-science they call it *ableist* and anti-recovery' #friendo do you know what those words mean #because it's not that #How about we just believe people when they tell us who they are okay #Why is that such a radical concept #Or better why is it a woke take for gender but radical for plurality because a bunch of cishet white guy singlets say so #plural #Qyriad #discourse

[ranboolivesaysstuff]

HEY! Just because I am now 20 I think having something to kind of re establish boundaries would be good! Considering the ones I put all those times ago have changed :D GENERAL RULES! Do not be racist, sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, ableist, or discriminatory against anyone for any reason. Please if someone is calling you out for things you have done or said, please self-reflect and take the proper steps to change or remove yourself from the community. If you see something you do not like, and it IS MADE WORSE BY BRINGING ATTENTION TO IT, THEN IGNORE IT! Bringing attention to problems that just arent really problems with either the community or me in general are not worth it! Please use common sense when thinking about what/what not to engage with! I personally wish that people in the community do NOT engage with people who just obviously do not like me! Chances are they want a reaction from it so it is MUCH better to just not argue with someone whos mind you will not change! ALLOW CRITICISM OF ME AND MY CONTENT! IF YOU DONT AGREE OR DONT LIKE THEN DO NOT ARGUE ABOUT IT!!!! ALL IT WILL DO IS CAUSE UNESSICARY DRAMA!!! DO NOT make ANY comments or content about me that is explicitly sexual. I completely understand that lately there have been bits due to the changes in how I’ve been presenting myself and how I’ve been presenting more femininely, but that does not allow anyone to use that as an excuse to sexualize any features and such that are more feminine or masculine. Remember that femininity is not sexual and should not be seen or created as such just because its there! (for example, the Vtuber costume and chat being overly weird over the added boobs where there was no need for it). DO NOT draw me in ways that are sexual either, such as highlighting any aspects in a sexual way, or making the content something sexual. I am completely okay with being drawn as any body type, masculine presenting or feminine presenting, as long as you stick to this! PLEASE DO NOT SPECULATE ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE!!! Making jokes about certain topics CAN be fine, but a line is crossed when it becomes a legitimate speculation or if a joke is said when I have expressed my discomfort! RESPECT MY FRIENDS!!! All of my friends are their own, incredible people. And they do not deserve to be lumped in or referred to as JUST "my friend". Be respectful in their chats even when im not there, and be respectful to all of them everywhere else! IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU MAY BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG PLEASE LISTEN!!! There has been a lot of times in which I have seen people be unwilling to change in the face of a genuine discussion, and that is not something I want in the community! I should NOT have to police every single thing because it should NOT take me saying something in order to change your mind! As my words are not worth more or less when it comes to a lot of subjects! And lastly, do good. Whenever you have the ability to. BE POSITIVE!!! The hater mindset is very draining and can be very toxic to both you and the people around you, so highlight the good instead of the bad if you have the ability to! I am so incredibly proud of how far this community has come, and I cannot wait for the future!!! I have spent some time writing this, but it may not be perfect, so I will update this as time goes on and I think of more, or if something needs to be SUPER cleared up, but for now these are the main ones! I will NOT be updating this after every little thing however, as I do not want you guys to feel like the only way that something is wrong is if I talk about it! As you guys should be able to sustain yourself as a community without my consistent input! Imma go enjoy my birthday by eating a pizza :) thank you all!

[jasperflickerstone]

Idk if any of you have actually seen any of the really weird shit that happens on tiktok, like the guy with the human spine wall and collection of human skulls. Or the guy who hatched like 1.4 million (I may be misremembering the exact number) frog eggs for a frog army, which have now begun hopping around and overtaking his neighbors yards. Or that one kid who bought loads of ladybugs to release in a city and (allegedly) moved to Ecuador because of it. There's some wild shit that goes on if you're not just on the default fyp.

#the frog and ladybug kids were just trying for internet points i think #but the spine guy had a huge collection. it was his hobby. #there was so the vegan teacher. idk if she was trying to sell anything but she was certainly an evil woman. #like very ableist and racist #but yeah its wild #if youre not on the default fyp that they start you with.

More Nimona posting because DAMN I just love this movie

Everything about the final "battle" (it's not really a battle because Nimona isn't fighting them) is so good and so perfectly representative of the current assault on (and attempted genocide of) queer people in the US.

Even in her full-on black mist beast form*, Nimona only makes one single attack against anything in the city when she swipes at the billboard advertising the monster slayer board game. Other than that, all the destruction is caused by the knights attacking her. We see it right away too, when several of their missiles fly off and hit nearby buildings.

*(I don't want to call it a "monster form" because even if that's how the people saw her, she wasn't a monster, just a super depressed bean)

The drones strafing Nimona do more damage to the streets and buildings than to her, but they keep firing anyways until there's a trail of fire and destruction in her wake. All anyone sees is the fire behind the monster; they don't see what actually caused it.

And of course, the Director is willing to annihilate half the city in order to kill one person.

But don't worry, she's one of The Good Guys, so it's okay. When the people at the top of the hierarchy do bad things it's okay, because being at the top of the hierarchy means they're actually good people and can't do anything wrong.

Feels familiar, right? One trans high school kid wants to play soccer and suddenly tHe wOrLd iS eNDiNg ermahgerd fAmILy vAlUeS aaahhh LET'S SEND THEM SOME DEATH THREATS!!!!

But a conservative politician demonstrably engages in sex trafficking or SAs people and nothing happens to them.

Now people can refuse to serve you because the Supreme Court is an offense to the concept of justice (it already was; the recent decisions just enforce my opinion), and you know that this is going to affect the cishets too. GNC cis woman? Get the fuck out, creep. Straight boy with good fashion sense? We don't serve your kind here. Never mind if you're visibly queer.

The metaphor breaks down a bit because, while conservatives are more than willing to burn society down just to screw over queer people, they're also sexist, racist, ableist, classist (though the Director is also classist af, which I love), etc etc etc. Taking away women's rights, making queer people illegal, and removing what few social safety nets we have are all part of the plan.

The Director wanted to fire the cannon into the city to kill one "monster" at the expense of half the city. Conservatives are firing the cannon into the city because they hate half the city.

I love D&D and nerdy shit and spend most of my time at my local game club! I’m autistic, adhd, and probably have POTS and hypermobility so some days or weeks are harder on my body than others! My favorite color is pink and I love spy movies and comedy sitcoms about terrible people.

So, I watched the James Somerton second apology video so you don't have to, this are my highlights, feel free to add more if I missed something important:

He monetized the video to donate to HBG's team and Wikipedia, apparently, he said also he has reached some of the people who he plagiarized but still, if he did he would have explicitly said "I'm donating to them"

Did he really said "well, I'm a white cis gay man, I don't have the same experiences as others in the community" as an excuse on plagiarizing others' works? And the "I thought I might be able to won over some people" sounds like some white savior shit

He still throws Nick under the bus, it really shows that James doesn't regret any other times he did that and it sounds like he hired Nick as a shield for criticism and not to have a more diverse work team

He apologizes to Jessie Gender and many others, but doesn't explicitly addresses why he might have offended them on first place (except for the police incident), yeah, he says he was reactionary, but he has been on many occassions. I'm not expecting a full detailed explanation, but at least he could have said "for the Nebula drama" or something like that

James says that at one point, due to covid economic consequences, he and Nick became poor and that led him to plagiarize more since they had to upload more videos, and look, I suck at organizing my time, I tend to do everything with little time before the date, and I wrote most of my thesis on the last minute with one or two days of investigating and I still didn't plagiarize, I could cite all of my sources the correct way, if my early 20s procrastinating ass could wrote a 70 page thesis on my own without plagiarizing, he could write a script with a second person without stealing but he prefered to do it anyway

Also the alegedly head injury, I'm not going to say that's a lie, but knowing how this guy uses any card on his favor, this might be something he pulled from his ass to justify himself

I don't know why but some of this Telos drama explanatiom sounds again like he didn't even know how to do all of this, and I get what is to start a project having little to no idea on how to start or continue, but he tried to do so much with so little without asking for any help when he clearly needed some help other than Nick, and also sounds like another excuse to justify plagiarizing

"Misinformation made its way into our past videos", no, my friend, it doesn't make its way when you investigate or check a site other than the first one you see, James loves to say he likes to investigate but still says things like this. "It wasn't malicious", (seriously, the audacity of this bitch), oh yeah, there's nothing malicious coming from the mysogynist biphobic and transphobic dude who misgenders trans people and erases a woman's bisexuality, specially when this lady told you she wasn't a straight woman as you said and this was a known fact for a few years

The ADHD thing feels like some ableist shit, like "don't blame me, I have ADHD uwu", James has offended many groups and communities through his youtube career and in his apology video he still finds the way to insult another group that suffers from many harmful stereotypes

As I said on a post addressing his first apology video, James can't create a space for everyone if he's transphobic, mysogynist, acephobe and racist, and he pretends he's convinced he was creating an "inclusive space"

Just as many people have said before, he didn't address anything of the things he's been accused of except plagiarism, he only says "I'm sorry to everyone who I have offended", no dude, you don't address mysogyny, racism or transphobia this way, James is a piece of shit and a coward.

And this idiot has put on public display some of his videos, specially the ones that show his racism (yeah, the Killing Stalking and Painter of the Night videos), I'm not clicking on them but I'm pretty sure he didn't cut his racist mysogynist rants, because they might not be plagiarized (if James is to be trusted) but they show the worst parts of him when he's trying to be original, and putting this shit videos on public shows he regrets nothing on being a piece of shit.

I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF YOU ARE A BYLER OR MILEVEN SHIPPER YOU BETTER BE ANGRY AT THIS SHIT

I was scrolling through the anti byler tag just to see what was there for fun. I did next expect to be so distributed and pissed off. This was only 5 minutes of scrolling.

Within the 5 minutes I scrolled through that tag, i was able to find so much homophobia. I mean whether you ship byler or mileven, you should all feel so upset by this shit. This is homophobia. Queer people are still being killed for who they are, and shit like this is why.

If you are homophobic, racist, ableist, sexist, or any other hateful group, you don’t belong in the stranger things fandom. Literally you are the people who are the bad guys on the show.

Fuck off.

So. Werewolf 5th Edition.

Werewolf 5th edition sucks. A lot.

Edit- I made some errors in my initial edit of this post that were fuelled entirely by being underinformed and almost insensible with anger, disappointment, and anxiety.

Some very informative responses have been made that I intend to incorporate into a much better and less rambling post with those updates and corrections. I'll probably delete this one soon as I type that one together, so folks only see the updated version.

Sorry for any mistakes I made on this old version, again, I was in an extremely poor place mentally and thoroughly dispirited by the total butchering of what was supposed to be a less shitty and mean-spirited version of a setting I care deeply for despite its foundational flaws and 30+ year history of exactly this thing happening.

I'm still very, very angry. But it's important to be angry and correct. This post was not made by someone informed of all the facts, and I intend to correct that.

Paradox Interactive has made the brave decision to reboot the controversial Werewolf the Apocalypse setting entirely rather than try and fix it, and have somehow done a worse job than the games studio that released an RPG book titled an ethnic slur.

It's taken me almost a month since this came out to be anywhere near mentally prepared enough to even collect my thoughts on it.

Man, it is rare to see an edition of ANYTHING that pisses off old players, new players, players who want to keep the lore the same, players who want to change the lore, conservative players, radical players, and even powergamers.

How do you set out with the intention of making an infamously dated and poorly researched/outreached setting LESS uncomfortable and racist from a modern perspective.... and end up with something EVEN MORE racist and uncomfortable, but also suffocatingly tonedeaf, insincere, and deeply sinister and corporate in its erasure of existing issues rather than addressing them whatsoever.

We made the Get of Fenris irredeemably evil because some of them in the past were nazis and also nazis like Germanic mythology, so the viking werewolves are all nazis now.

Okay, I understand why you did that from a modern political perspective even if its kind of heavy hand-

The Native American werewolf tribes have been removed entirely and replaced with American Murican werewolf tribes. Renaming and rewriting them to be more respectful was just too much work! Now they're more inclusive. :)

The Irish werewolf tribe is now the Nature Werewolves tribe, like every other tribe of Werewolves also is, but also stripped completely of celtic origins.

The Red Talons are openly genocidal ecofascist malthusians and somehow NOT IRREDEEMABLY EVIL like the Get of Fenris are.

Also the feminist all women werewolves are no longer all women or even feminist. AND ALSO SOME OF THEM ARE SOCIAL DARWINISTS AND THATS SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD THING!?!

Also we entirely dropped the themes about how forcing children to be a part of a war they barely understand while also lying to them about the crimes their ancestors committed that led to the current crisis is fucked up and evil.

Now its actually awesome to be a child soldier born into a repressive apocalyptic death cult with a siege mentality and everything is cool about that actually, you're the Good Guys, and no amount of covered-up historic genocides or internal/external bigotry will ever change that! :)

Also we solved the way people were uncomfortable with the idea that werewolf society is transitioning messily from being horrible ableist assholes that discriminated for centuries against those they view as deformed, disabled, or sexual deviants to new generations that don't care about that stuff, by removing disabled werewolves entirely! Problem solved! No more discomfort or moral conundrums! We are the liberal-est!

There's just something so unbelievably fucked up and suspicious about erasing entire minorities from a fictional universe because they were handled poorly in the first edition, rather than talking to writers and outreach specialists FROM the real world equivalents to those minorities to try and rewrite them.

Don't worry, we removed the group the setting was bigoted against! Problem solved! Just remove the minority!

I've written my own post on why the Metis/Crinos-born should be renamed and probably rewritten, but as a severely disabled individual with multiple hereditary disabilities that severely impact my QoL, outright removing disabled characters in a work of fiction because the prejudice other characters showed them in-universe made people uncomfortable makes me want to tear out someone's throat with my teeth.

Sure, completely remove my ability to play disabled a character fighting back against prejudice and bigotry, rather than rewrite the most uncomfortable aspects of YOUR FUCKING PORTRAYAL OF THOSE CHARACTERS to make it more clear who the sympathetic one is supposed to be.

It's just so unbelievably cowardly and whinging and wretched.

So fuck it, I guess!

Fuck the deeply applicable themes of being born into a well-intentioned but deeply flawed and bigoted society, and trying to create the better world your parents always told you your ancestors fought for, while dealing with the fact that your world is built on mass graves those ancestors helped fill.

Fuck a game that deals with intergenerational trauma and the ethical hellscape that is a highly religious society devoted to the very same ideals it often violates just to win fights against the enemies it created through its own arrogance and prejudice.

Fuck a game that lets you play someone born different, born strange and sickly, bouncing constantly between people who pity you and people who view you as subhuman, before finally finding the people, the family who love and accept and fight alongside you for a world that has never accepted you, but WILL FUCKING KNOW YOUR NAME.

That's not relevant to the real world at all!

There are no kids born in deeply flawed and hypocritical societies, who grew up on stories of the glorious future their society would create, forced then to reconcile the hopeful dreams of a better world with the comprehensive list of horrific things done in the name of that future.

There are no children born confused and alone in their navigation of the maze that is past atrocities, ethnic conflicts, religious prejudice and dogma, or modern propaganda attempting to erase the histories of all of those things.

There are no disabled teens who spent their lives believing they didn't belong in the world, kept going only by the connections they forged with other outsiders and people who fought back against the kind of wretched bigotry that suffocates children to death, who found homes and families they could trust outside the pissant communities they were born into.

Apparently those people don't need a game! They don't need to explore those feelings!

Just throw some more nazis in, so we can pretend we care about social issues or understand the redeeming threads of a deeply flawed gameline, ostensibly so we market it to leftist youngsters, but while we also erase the entire point of a game WHICH IS ALL ABOUT BEING PUNKASS YOUNGSTERS DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIND THE REDEEMING THREADS OF A DEEPLY FLAWED AND PREJUDICED SOCIETY THAT CONSTRAINS THEM, FINDING A WAY TO REBEL AGAINST BOTH THE EVILS OF THE RACIST BASTARDS WHO RAISED THEM AND THE POMPOUS SHITHEADS WHO WANT TO DESTROY THE WORLD OUT OF GREED.

No! We want a squeaky clean, sterile white game that AmericanTM parents can be proud of their kids for playing! A marketable game, that advertisers will gladly pay Revenue to put their products in! Play the good guys, everyone! You're the good guys! Be a big werewolf UwU!

Don't worry about historical atrocities or the flaws of the society that raised you! That's Pentex propaganda!

Fighting bad guys means you can't do anything bad yourself! The Emperor told me so! Deus Gaia Vult!

A hollow, performative, offensive jizzstain that should've been scrapped in its crib. I have no idea how this edition got past a quality assurance team.

Hell I have no idea how it got past a legal team, given the number of real peoples' likenesses they used without permission.

Devoid of artistic integrity or merit.

Dear PRATs who use “intrusive thoughts” as an excuse to be racist and pwPOCD as a scapegoat to be predatory,

SHUT THE FUCK UP. NEVER INTERACT WITH SOMEONE WITH OCD IRL. You guys make my intrusive thoughts 10x worse and have given me new themes. Intrusive thoughts do not make someone racist or a nazi or a pedophile, you are all just ableist pricks who need someone to use as a scapegoat. Just like with BIID, you do not give a single flying fuck about pwOCD. Next time I see one of y’all say “i’m ‘transnazi’ bc intrusive thoughts”, I’m punching you. You are only further stigmatizing OCD. You do not give a shit about us or any other disabled person for that matter, though I suppose this is expected from the community that actively encourages faking disorders. Fuck you.

Sincerely, a very angry obsessive-compulsive.
