Maybe an unpopular take but I think people who try to paint anti-Palestine/anti-Arab sentiment as just being the work of Zionists, or implants by the Israeli government to distract from what’s happening, are counterproductive—because it essentially insinuates that outside of Israel, anti-Arab sentiment is just fiction. In reality anti-Arab racism has historically been one of the easiest things for people to tap into, and I think it’s misleading to pretend that there aren’t people like that lurking among us. Some are silent and some are vocal, but they exist. A lot of people don’t see Arabs as worthy of saving simply because they’re Arab. It’s counterproductive to imply it’s just propaganda work or doesn’t actually exist.

okay so then maybe you just hate when gay men express sexual desires </3

no actually i hate when people joke about someone else’s trauma <3

great guess though!

anyways imagine riding this hard for a man who basically said “you having daddy issues is good and fun for me actually” like?? do you hear yourself

third date and the man is joking about how he can personally gain from your trauma, i’d call the police

plus that’s just such a weird assumption to make, that daddy issues=daddy kink

your man is sexualizing Bucks trauma hours after his father figure nearly died and i’m the weird one for being uncomfortable?

and can i remind you how dismissive he was being leading up to that joke? Buck called Bobby the father he never had and the ONLY thing he can say is “but your father is alive” dude read the fucking room

the man he considers to be a father almost dies and as he’s expressing how scared he was the best Tommy can come up with is reminding him that, actually, his shitty dad is still alive. and on top of that then he goes on to make it about himself (can’t remember the wording but that ‘i’m jealous because my dad sucked and so did my captain’) like dude can Buck talk about anything serious for ten seconds without Tommy being dismissive, downplaying, making it about himself, or making a joke out of it? (hint:the answer is no)

this conversation was less than a minute long and Tommy managed to downplay his feelings, distract from the point, make it about himself, AND make a distasteful joke sexualizing his trauma

it astounds me that this is the man y’all defend so hard

anyways thanks for the message anon <3 it turns out i had a lot more to say about this

i'm neither pro-ship or anti-ship but i do think it's funny when i stumble across posts like yours proclaiming that one side is volatile & hostile & wrong, while simultaneously claiming that your side has done nothing wrong & doesn't ever send anyone hate or threats. i don't doubt that there are extremists on both sides (come on, i've been in fandom since 2003, i know how these things happen). you may want to look into un-biased accounts from BOTH sides.

????????????

Edit: and here’s the studies talking about online harassment and purity culture. Also claiming you’re neither and yet sending me this ask is very anti behavior 😂 like not trying to be like “everyone who doesn’t like me is an anti!!! >:(“ but sending this ask instead of blocking me rlly is telling

Hey, remember in 1954 when Israel convinced Egyptian Jews to blow up American and British-owned civilian targets such as cinemas, libraries, and American educational centers and tried to blame it on the Muslim Brotherhood and Communists, denied it for decades and then in 2005 Israeli President Moshe Katsav awarded certificates of appreciation to the surviving bombers?

Yes I’ve heard of the Lavon affair…what’s your point? What relevance does that have to anything happening right now?

[fluorescentbrains]

also not to be a paranoid liberal or whatever but “biden voters just want to protect their own civil rights and are actively throwing palestinians under the bus to do it” smells like psyop to me. idk. the derogatory rhetoric towards civil rights. (which include literal life saving measures like abortion access btw.) the implication that basic fucking rights = decadent privileges, demanded by entitled wokeists (especially the homosexuals). the zero-sum framing of having civil rights as taking something away from others. the false suggestion that NOT voting for biden will help palestinians, conveniently never ever addressing the dangers of a second trump term domestically OR for palestinians, or perhaps even suggesting “he doesn’t REALLY care that much about israel, so maaaybe…”

it reeks of conservative disdain for wokeism, reshaped to shame left-leaning people for caring about their rights by framing those rights as the beloathed “privilege”

There’s a difference between rightfully calling out how Sjm is a Zionist…And using this genocide to spread hate towards characters you don’t like while still supporting Sjm through the characters you do like.

I don’t know why a lot of people *cough Nesta, Tamlin, Lucien, and Eris fans cough* feel this disconnect when it comes to the characters they like and Sjm but let’s me just break this down for you.

Calling out Sjm’s Zionism by saying “xyz is doing what I*rael is doing to Palestine” or “xyz character would be team Palestine and xyz character would be team I*rael” is not the activism you think it is. Calling people Zionist for supporting/liking one specific character reeks of ignorance and quite frankly, makes you look like a fucking clown because at the end of the day…all of these characters are written by a Zionist. Thinking one character reflects Maas’ ignorance while coincidently your favorite characters are spared from it when they all come from the same place shows how a lot of you genuinely aren’t able to access critical parts of your brains.

Tamlin, Nesta, Eris, and Lucien are characters born from Sjm. Fans of these people cannot be going around calling anyone genocide supporters or trying to use this genocide as a way to put certain fictional characters on a pedestal when…they all come from the same person. You like a character who you believe the author dislikes…that doesn’t change that this character was made by a Zionist.

And coming back to my original point. You guys are performative activists. The way y’all call out Sjm for being a Zionist is genuinely laughable. Cause saying that your favorite characters - that she created - would support Palestine is definitely going to show her. Cause using a literal genocide where horrific crimes are being committed to prop up a fictional character is definitely going to show her. Cause complaining about her morals while continuing to support her and condemning everyone else for it- while you do the same thing by liking her characters - is definitely going to show her…When you use a genocide to prop up people who don’t exist instead of calling out the author for being a bigot, the conversation gets lost and no one is actually held accountable for their actions.

You can point out how Sjm’s views bleed into her writing, but the problem is y’all just don’t make sense. It’s clear you’re doing it to tear down characters you don’t like and y’all think people are dumb enough to not notice.

Just a bunch of empty heads.

happy firewalker with me friday (tuesday) i had a realization.

[Image ID: A venn diagram- the left side is labeled C!Martyn and the right side is labeled Parker Macmillain.

The left side has a screenshot of cherrifire’s C!Martyn from the Limited Life finale, depicting him falling in the void, in the middle, surrounded by text. From top to bottom, the text reads: “VERY MUCH ALLOWED ON TUMBLR”, “grown man”, “still trapped in the death game”, “in minecraft”, “series/lore ongoing”, “has yet to kill god (he doesn’t know how)”, and “has friends”.

The right side has the Blaseball Twitter profile picture of a baseball emoji and five tally marks in the middle, surrounded by text. From top to bottom, the text reads: “19 years old forever”, “series/lore ended unceremoniously”, “in blaseball and on twitter”, “killed god”, “has presumably been freed from the death game”, “has like, one friend, maybe”, “not allowed on tumblr”.

The text in the middle of the diagram reads, from top to bottom: “many questions about them still unanswered”, “forced to kill their friends by the circumstances of the game- some amount of conflict over whether or not they’re cool with it”, “ominous and antagonistic relationship with the guys in charge of the death game”, “haunted by the ghosts of the past who are inexplicably still alive”, “more than one running around out there”, and “you could make a judas & jesus metaphor out of this”.

JoJo Siwa doesn’t deserve all the hate (and homophobia) she’s getting for her style and music; but she does deserve scrutiny for defending Colleen Ballinger and being both active and complicit in abuse that happened on her TV show. Like the girl has been under the public eye in unhealthy environments all her life; cut her some slack — not too much; she’s still a responsible adult — but if you’re going to dogpile her, then at least dogpile her for the right reasons. Jesus Fucking Christ.

question for the fanfic readers (and writers) who are out here working full time jobs:

how/when do you make time to read/write fanfics?

my tendency to read fanfics late at night will not be such a good idea when i’m out of school and working in the real world, when i can’t just say fuck it and show up with only a few hours of sleep.
