Addressing Problems vs. Name Calling

There are a lot of people on the internet trying to persuade other people to listen to their opinions by calling other people names—racist, transfobic, homofobic, sexist, to name a few—but is doing this really helping anyone? To be fair, a lot of these people being called those names are, in fact, racist/transfobic/homofobic/sexist/etc., but is calling them that really going to help them change their world view? The expected result might be that the person will crumble once they realize that they’re a nasty racist/transfob/homofob/sexist/etc., but usually when attacked with hostile language they’re more likely to get defensive, dig their heels in, and start arguing about the labels while the important parts of what was said go ignored. Even in the “best case scenario” where they do listen, hate-labels tend to have the effect of shutting down any potential discussion of the topic in the future. Often a person won’t say what they once thought for fear of being called nasty names. They might even spend nights crying in their room because someone told them they’re a bad person, instead of feeling empowered to be better. Labels stick to people, even after they’ve expired, and it’s hard for a person not to feel defined or boxed in by what others say about them.

This isn't definite, of course—some people really do step up in the face of being called out for their bigotry, and those people are certainly worthy of respect--but isn’t there a better way to address problems than resorting to juvenile name calling and click-bait buzz words? Back when I was in English class in Highschool learning how to write argumentative essays, my teacher made a point of telling us to avoid using pronouns such as I or You as much as possible. Why? Because the minute the word “I” is used, it makes an argument just the author’s opinion rather than fact, making it impersonal and unimportant. When “you” is used in an argument, it makes it personal to the person on the other end of the essay. Suddenly it’s no longer an intellectual experiment—now it’s about “you”, and when everything is about “you”, whatever argument the author is presenting becomes a much bigger pill to swallow.

Instead of making an argument for why someone is racist, what if we simply wrote an argument about why people of all races should be treated with respect? What if instead of stating that people are transfobic, we helped people understand why people transition and what sort of struggles they face? What if instead of calling someone homofobic, we told them why same-sex marriages and partnerships are important? What if instead of calling someone sexist, we talked about the strengths of women and their irreplaceable contributions to the world? What if we started lifting instead of tearing down, and instead of laughing at the people in the figurative ditch we got down there and helped them climb out?

I know a lot of people who weren’t homofobic/racist/sexist/transfobic growing up—they just had questions. They asked those questions, with genuine curiosity, and then were told that because they had those questions they were bad people. Almost no one bothered to answer them, or explain to them why their views were incomplete. Instead they shot them down, told them not to have questions, and pretty soon those people I knew started becoming all those things everyone told them they were. It’s normal to have questions, and it’s good to look for answers. Not one person on this earth knows all the answers. None of us are perfect—we’re all just trying to make sense of what’s in front of us. Don’t be the person who stands on a mountain scaled by asking questions only to throw rocks down at others who are trying to make the same climb. Just because they aren’t at the summit yet doesn’t mean they aren’t trying. It’s impossible to know what a person is going through at any given time, or why they think the way they do. Especially when there’s a barrier of a screen and some imperfect walls of text preventing us from seeing the whole picture. Just be kind, be generous, and assume the best of people. Most people want to be right, so just try to help them get there. It will make the world a better place.

she has fur so she is fluffy

she can eat grass but she prefers meat, specifically bunnies, squirrels and roaches.

8 hours but in reality she sleeps less

she was born a human but accidentally turned into a monster by a witch

blue

who knows?

she is the only one in her species

yes, a mother, a father, a big brother and a little sister. but her family left her and her brother is hunting her, the only person who is ready to see her again as family is the little sister (the family has no idea she turned into a monster)

I am not sure... I think sight because she has 3 eyes

she doesn't have more senses than before her transformation so no.

if God exists she hates him.

Non human OC asks

○ what does their skin feel like?

○ what do they eat

○ how long do they need to sleep?

○ how were they born?

○ what colour is their blood?

○ how long is their average life span?

○ do they have a culture for their species ?

○ do they have family?

○ what is their best sense? Is this normal for the species?

○ do they have more or less senses than a human ?

○ are they religious or spiritual ?

THANK YOU!!! 💕💕💕

I know minnie miraculous is a joke/fun au but I just look at it and see multiple ways how to traumatize those kids... can I traumatize them? please 🥺? can I make a little alternative universe to this au where I can traumatize those kids?

Go ahead! Knock yourself out! Have fun and be creative—that’s what this au exists for! And tag me if you use any of my designs, that way I can find you and like your posts. :)

[anaid616luna]

you did nothing wrong. this person is probably drunk and I will believe that until proven otherwise

If @neverpathia has a million haters I'm one of them. If @neverpathia has a 1000 haters I'm still one of them. If @neverpathia has 1 hater it's me. If @neverpathia has 0 haters it means I have left this world. If the world is against @neverpathia then I am with the world

Moonbows

A moonbow, also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow, is a rainbow created by moonlight rather than sunlight. It's formed when light from the moon refracts and reflects off water droplets, like those in rain or mist, creating a visible arc of light in the sky. Moonbows are generally fainter and less colorful than regular rainbows, and they are much rarer due to the need for specific conditions like a full or near-full moon, clear skies, and dark skies.

Everyone run, she's GOT A TOP!!! @goatlilly I fear EITHER of these twins with this Miraculous, she is sufficiently terrifying U_U

[anaid616luna]

I got it into my head that Fuzzie Fox's flute would become a recorder Because Kid and I couldn't let it go. Either way, me and @goatlilly agree, Paris is suffering.

[anaid616luna]

It was actually hard to come up with a cringe line that was also nonsense lol @goatlilly's AU still has me by the throat

[anaid616luna]

Sorry not sorry, @goatlilly, but I'm obsessed with the Minnie Miraculous AU.

Hero-Sitters

Don’t mind me, just doodling Miss Terra and @zoe-oneesama’s Marigold being girl boss babysitters together. I just kinda had the thought how lucky Miss Terra is that she doesn’t have to deal with Scarlet Lady alongside all her other baby heroes. Heh.

anyway, tada! I… I guess. I was bored.

[anaid616luna]

Miss Terra

It’s okay Marinette. Just breathe. I don’t know about you guys, but I think this hero has a lot to learn from her young teammates about cutting loose and having fun. Still, it’s hard to say how the Minnie Miraculous holders would fair without their capable leader/big sister looking out for them. It’s a good thing she has Wayze to calm her down whenever she gets too stressed.

So, uh, yeah. Here she is—Turtle Marinette! Aka, Miss Terra. To be honest, I had trouble not just copying the Trutle Marinette that @zoe-oneesama made a while back, but I managed to make something different that I still like. She was also the hardest to color, because her pallet requires more mixing than the others did.

Buzzy Bee

Here she is! (Finally. Sorry she took so long to put out.) Ella as the Bee! She’s a real little bugger… hehe. Sorry.

But yeah, I had fun with this one—it was a little tricky because for some reason side Profile is hard for me to draw, but I did it, and I think it looks pretty good. :) Um… let’s see, I imagine that Buzzy would be a bit of a lose cannon, and she’d sting people just because it’s fun. And Pollen and probably spoils her. Just saying.

Edit* Sorry if Mr. Pigeon’s pose is unfortunate. I uh… tried to fix it a bit, so hopefully it’s better now. (Hopefully.)

[anaid616luna]

Fuzzie Fox

Wow, I actually got this done today.

So here’s Etta as the Fox holder. I imagine her causing all sorts of trouble with her illusion powers, maybe trying to use them to get out of trouble by blaming it all on the Sapotis. Her and Trixx would probably honestly get along a little too well.

As a side note, I keep coming up with a bunch of cool sounding names for these guys—then I remember that they’re kids and that they have no class. I know way too many second graders at this point to think otherwise. So her name is an adjective and the literal animal that she is. Sigh. Because it probably would be.

This one took me a bit longer to draw because I wasn’t sure how to capture her personality as well as the others so far. She’s pretty much indistinguishable from her twin, so I also wanted to keep that as a thing while giving her subtle differences. Also, while I was drawing her I forgot about the white tummy section and had already water colored her in, and so that’s why her tummy looks more grey than white. I was considering pretending that was intentional, but I’m just happy I managed to get that much opacity with White watercolor, because watercolors don’t really get lighter easier once they’ve been applied.

Cat Man

Thanks so much for 1000 notes on the original post guys—I’ve never had so many people seeing and sharing my art before. Honestly it’s a little terrifying. But I’m so grateful! I’m glad you like my silly sketches. I feel like if Bat Man existed in the Ladybug universe, or something similarly edgy, that would be Chris’s favorite thing ever. He probably likes edgy stuff, and watches shows that are too grown up for him without understanding the nuance. I imagine him posing dramatically and stuff to try and look cool, saying edgy stuff to the villains like “You went bad because you tried to be good.” With absolutely no clue what that means. He’d just say it to sound cool. And before anyone says it, yes, I know he looks like a PJ mask.

And yeah, there are cooler names than Cat Man, but I wanted the name to be symbolic of Chris’s perception of himself—that he’s an adult rather than a kid. He probably thinks he’s way more mature than the other super kids. He’s not.

as a side note, I imagine him creating dark backstories for himself about his dead family or his grudge against his sister’s killer, or something equally silly. :)

Princess Ladybug (from the Minnie Miraculous AU)

So basically I just named her what I thought a kid would probably call themself. I imagine Manon being mad because Tikki won’t give her the Lucky Charms she wants and throwing tantrums over it. Otherwise she’s a good superhero (kinda,) and she tries her best to help people, (usually.) Really I think she just likes the costume. Heh.

Also, thank you guys so much for all the engagement on the last post—you guys are so nice and so creative! I love all the ideas you guys had, and your comments were so positive. :) I hope you like how this one turned out—I was having trouble with her sling and her hair color a bit, but I think it turned out pretty good. Also, I know it’s kind of hard to see in the upper right corner, but her miraculous in disguised form looks like flower earrings. I thought that would be cute.

RGB good at understanding the vibe of a creature no matter if it talks

or RGB is a Disney princess that can talk to animals but I prefer the first option
