Hot take: the following things can be simultaneously true:

America has always done bad things

Trumpism is connected to the failures of Reconstruction

Trump is still a uniquely terrible figure who ushered in a uniquely destructive era in American politics

Snide remarks like “lulz, lmao, you think Trump is bad? America was ALWAYS bad” contributed to the cynicism, nihilism, and apathy which led to not enough people caring about the country to try to stop him at the ballot box

It reminds me of people being outraged when Democrats responded to something like Charlottesville with “this isn’t who we are”; yeah, obviously that’s always been part of America, but rhetoric has an impact and it both empowers white supremacists and demoralizes normies to say “yep, white supremacists represent America and everything has always sucked shit.” There are consequences to pretending all people and eras are equally bad, because then people stop taking new and dire threats seriously, and there are consequences to people believing their society is always and forever evil, because then they don't fight against those threatening to harm that society. You don't need to whitewash history to understand any of this.

Kotaro & Teddy (Chou Den-O Trilogy: Episode Blue)

I'd truly be the worst person to stick into a timeloop because I'd really just spend the first 5 years catching up on my book tbr, the next 7 on all the movies and shows that've Been On My List for ages, and then another decade on ao3. like sure nothing may stick but my memories will and i can just go into a supermarket to get snacks and wine each day, and i have art to indulge in. like thanks for the hints on how to get out but respectfully, I am busy

this old art of mine is still relevant to this year's summer lol

Lilo and Stitch (2002) dir. Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois

I am spoiling the live action Lilo & Stitch. And I am doing it up front and plainly.

Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.

They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.

The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!

Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.

Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.

This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.

The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.

This is one of the most disrespectful live actions I've seen and heard of. I implore you to not watch it.
