people are so entrenched in the fucked up idea of victim/perpetrator as a discrete dichotomy that they let it bleed into their discussions on societal oppression in a way that makes them both factually incorrect as hell and infantilizing and dehumanizing as fuck

a common example i see is white people saying stuff like “ohh the indigenous peoples were all so harmonious and peaceful until the evil white people arrived” and like… that’s just blatantly wrong?? much like groups of people around the world there was plenty of fighting and things like that and infantilizing indigenous people by taking about them like harmless toddlers is actually really shitty and racist behaviour

you’ll also see it in the way white people with guilt about being culturally christian talk about every other religion as if they’ve never done anything bad ever and christianity is the only religion that has ever harmed anyone (again this is factually incorrect and infantilizing)

but the core issue is that these people can’t seem to reconcile this because they have this idea that being a “victim” means someone is 100% morally pure and innocent always and forever and being a “perpetrator” means someone who is 100% cartoonishly evil 24/7

Fic idea: Tim is dead. Killed in a large scale bust gone wrong. The entire batfam is distraught and in mourning. Minus Jason who's response to learning this was to groan wearily, mutter something along the lines of "goddamnit Tim, again?", then respond with "give me a week or two" in the most tired voice Dick has ever heard from him. Before any of them can even process what he's just said Jason is already speeding down the tunnel on his motorbike leaving the rest of the still living bats looking like deer in headlights.

A week and a half passes with no news from Jason, it's now the day of Tim's funeral and mid service in bursts The Red Hood looking beat to hell and back holding a glowing orb that he then proceeds to lob at the coffin like a baseball. The orb passes through with ease and then what is clearly the sound of someone slamming their head into wood and then groans of pain echo from the coffin as Red Hood yells "STOP SELLING YOUR SOUL TO DEMONS AND MAKING ME FIGHT THEM! YOU'RE WORSE THAN CONSTANTINE!" before storming off as half the attendees freeze in shock and the other half scrambles to pry open the coffin.

Not to be nuanced on tumblr but I think it’s possible to believe that there are severe human rights abuses happening in Palestine right now and also believe that it’s wrong to try and rectify this by instilling fear in Jewish communities via violence.

my advice to you is to never waste your time trying to fit into a club or hobby or any community who makes you beg for acceptance and approval just to participate when you could do the alternative—get involved in a niche and endangered hobby run primarily by old people.

i wanted to learn how to hunt ruffed grouse and train bird dogs so i sent an email to my local chapter of the ruffed grouse society explaining that getting into wildlife groups is intimidating to me because I’m trans

and all they saw was that someone under 60 wanted to learn to hunt grouse & several months into my mentorship I was told that like 7 old guys argued over me until they had to pick a number between 1 and 100 to decide who got to personally mentor me.

imagine vying for the acceptance of some gatekeeping weirdos when your mere interest could be inciting verbal combat among retirees

"These somewhat similar statues/buildings across the world PROVE they were all made by one group!" (usually ancient aliens or a unknown ancient empire) theories are always pretty unconvincing, but the greatest is this meme of identical Olmec heads in Mexico and Ethiopia, which doesn't even bother to crop out the plaque saying "from the people of Mexico to the people of Ethiopia, 2010". Like why bother

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

atp the only way we’re going to get out of this ai shit while people’s brains are still semi intact is to start bribing influencers and tiktokers into saying chatgpt is cringe and it emits a frequency that blocks your divine energy which can only be channeled back by reading a book and talking to your friends

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point

I think people get the “Bruce dancing like a stripper in the Iceberg Lounge” situation all wrong. The batkids won’t die of embarrassment because that’s their dad. They’ll die of frustration because they will never, ever be able to make Bruce feel embarrassed about it.

Do you really think the man who would strip and bust it down for the secret identity has the capacity to feel shame? Exactly.

people talking about “forced diversity” like characters being PoC or LGBT or disabled “for no reason” like

are people in real life PoC or LGBT or disabled for a reason

do these critics run up to people on the street like WHY ARE YOU BLACK

Israel has just confirmed that it will move forward with the total occupation of the Gaza Strip, this means we have entered the last step in the genocide of gazas population, anything we did before we need to amplify 100 fold because if Israel is allowed to go through with this, there will be no more Gaza.

Protest, organize, never let your politicians enabling this holocaust sleep a fucking wink without people banging pots and pans outside their homes and seeing pictures of children ripped apart by their weapons.

And most importantly SHARE AND DONATE TO GOFUNDMES!!
