I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"
specific examples include but are not limited to
why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)
why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)
why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)
why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)
why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)
who taught you that this is how things are?
how long do you plan on repeating it?

You see me at a party, I'm smoking a cigarette. With shock, you notice that I'm taking bites out of it. You move closer and realize the cigarette is actually a raw green bean.

ive definitely talked abt this before, but i literally cannot relate to the posts that are like "ohhh you guys ship them romantically when theyre soo much more interesting as friends". i contain multitudes. i think they are best friends. i think they are lovers. i think they are soulmates in a way that cant be categorised. these statements dont conflict.

Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa have all seen their right-wing parties collapse in popularity since Trump took over.
We were headed for a hard-right turn, but this shift is absolutely unprecedented in modern times. The stark reality of a right wing nationalist future really got people to pay attention.
Unfortunately, it's at the cost of the millions of us in the US who will now suffer
#aotearoa almost exclusively votes opposite the us at all times#its kind of crazy looking back through history#we had jacinda for the first trump run key all through the obama years helen clark during bush#its enough of a pattern that every time a us election goes well i feel Dread#sure enough when the us got biden we got luxon

me: Cigarettes are provably bad for you. I don't think anyone should be giving cigarette companies more money, and I certainly don't think cigarettes should be marketed either to children, or at Pride
some brains genious politics understander: I know people who work at cigarette companies and they're lovely! They're not pro-cancer at all! How dare you attack those employees, that's not very inclusive of you!
this is a metaphor
