#but we all know that they've faced shit for their ethnicity

[cobraonthecob]

formula 1 is such a goldmine when it comes to being a very good social observation on how race/ethnicity does impact people's perceptions on people

The houthis atacked israel Ships because they are antisemitisc plus they are starving yemenis

They might be for Palestine but they are not the Good guys

Israeli ships are being targeted because they are carrying and supplying weapons to Israel.

Which are being used to kill Palestinians.

But also because attacking the ships will encourage other countries to halt trade with Israel.

This actually was a key step in the eventual dismantle of the South African apartheid.

And lest we forget, Israel is an aphartied state.

Aphartied for those that don't know is a policy that is founded on the idea of separating people based on racial or ethnic criteria.

So, racism and thinking your race is more superior than another. Like thinking Israeli's are superior to Palestinians and Arabs in general.

The at the time, Jamaican Cheif Minister Norman Manley during the South African apartheid said:

"The ban on trade with South Africa is logical and proper. And done in respect of a country which denies its own people all the basic human rights. And denies coloured people all over the world every right to human rights intercourse.

Since we cannot send a coloured athlete to South Africa nor even a cricket team with any pretense of dignity. Why should we send our goods?"

I bring up Jamaica because they were one of the first nations to condemn South African apartheid.

They banned trade and travel with South Africa despite still being a British Colony.

Something that in a lot of ways mirrors how Yemen, is one of the first countries to act in direct resistance to Israel.

So no it's not antisemitic, just a tried and true method used to aid in the dismantle aphartied regimes.

But than Pro Israeli's much like the Israeli government see every form of resistance against them, no matter if it's peaceful or violent, as antisemitic and terrorism.

Israel can tell the world it wants to make Gaza into Auschwitz but than be afraid and mad when Palestinians want to be free from the river to the sea.

As for the second part of your ask... What are you 5?

Newsflash, there are no perfect heroes this isn't a movie or a cartoon.

Turkey stands with Palestine, they're sending a case to the International Criminal Court in regards to Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

Which is great.

Doesn't negate the whole Armenian Genocide and the shit they're doing to Kurdish people.

Britain's over here talking about a ceasefire when they've still got colonies.

They're funding the civil war in Sudan, the atrocities against the Congolese and many many more.

Not to mention shipping weapons to Israel.

All of this doesn't mean they shouldn't be speaking out against Israel.

In fact I'd argue it's a more of a reason for them to speak up, because they have the power too.

Also on the topic of starving Yemen, let's not pretend that the UN didn't drop Yemen from their world food programme.

Seemingly in response to Yemen standing against Israel.

Which means the UN like Israel are inflicting collective punishment. Which is both a war crime and a violation of international law.

Yemen standing up for Palestine is a brave and amazing thing, because they have nothing and are doing everything.

Of course they have their own issues, but that doesn't suddenly make what they're doing to aid Palestinians have any less of an affect.

"They aren't the good guys"

Be fucking for real, every country has blood on its hands.

Some more so than others. And those continuing to cause bloodshed need to be held accountable.

That doesn't change that Palestine deserves to be free. As does Yemen as does every country and people facing oppression.

Isrsel has been actively committing a genocide for 75 years, they need to be stopped.

That's an indisputable fact.

It really hurts me to see things like racism and islamophobia in feminist spaces. I find a lot of women who hold these beliefs are actually well meaning, (for eg. They'll direct racism towards whatever foreign men are known to abuse women of their ethnicity, or they'll spread messages of islamophobia because the religion is known to hallow traditions such as child marriage, physical abuse towards women, and the execution of women for perceived crimes such as unfaithfulness to their partners and/or promiscuity.)

What ladies who do things like this fail to take into account, is that we are currently still living in a patriarchal society. If you direct hatred towards men, fine. But once you begin directing hatred to men of a particular community, it becomes less of an issue with men and more of an issue with that whole community, since men are conventionally seen as the representatives of whatever communities they are in.

Yes, I know this is usually not the intention, but the actual result is just further oppression directed towards the women within these communities. If want to say 'men'. SAY 'MEN'! Yes, they fucking suck! They've done it all! But you begin derailing whenever you say 'Black men. South Sudanese men. Hell, even if you say 'White men' you are oppressing black people. South Sudanese people. White people.

Feminism is about protecting women, not just your women. If you exclusively want to protect your women, in my opinion that would make you a nationalist and/or a blatant racist. That's fine too. But I do think it does misrepresent actual feminism to prospective sisters when you actively speak out against the communities they are a part of, much less when you support its oppression.

To be honest, I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on that. I have no doubt whatsoever that outside of feminist spaces they shit on women of colour just as much as they do on men of colour. They just don't do that directly here (as much, anyway, because some of them definitely do) because they know they're less likely to get away with it.

Plenty of women here have said that men of colour don't get a pass for being misogynistic, and that men of colour crying racism against white women for being wary of them as well as white men are denying male violence. So the radblr racists pretending that we value anti-racism over fighting misogyny is not accurate.

Like "men of colour are just as dangerous as any men; facing racism doesn't stop that" is a factual statement. The second you try to claim white men are safer is when we take issue because no the fuck they are not. For white people to claim men of colour are safer is racist because it's infantilizing, romanticizing, noble savage bullshit. To claim that white men are safer is the opposite side of the same racist coin.

With that being said, yes, there are societies where women are treated worse than in others, but to act like that's a condition of being black or brown is inaccurate and gross. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. were further along with women's at one point than many western countries.

What we should be seeing it as is a warning: if it can happen to them it happen to us. No, not because of immigrants but because men having been doing this shit to us all around the world for millennia. And women have always fought for their rights. You look through the history of any society and you find that progress is not a straight line. Women gain rights for a time and then are pushed back down.

My nana warned me never to think it couldn't happen in my own country. The USA is a perfect example of a country sliding backwards when it comes to women's rights and that is mostly being done by white men. White men who, as it happens, LOVE telling white women they need white men to protect them from the raping black and brown men. Meanwhile white women are mostly raped by white men. And white men let those men go free and blame the women for it.

And, you know, the racists of radblr could easily see this if they chose. They don't because they don't want to. While they make accusations about our priorities, it's they who prioritize being racist over feminism.

"So what do you think?"

Old papers, crumpled and worn held delicate between thumb and forefinger, she sits before me grinning waiting expectantly for the questions that always follow this little exchange.

"So, to get this straight, your arguing postmodernism is bullshit?"

Grin widening and their eyes sparkle at the notion I'm finally understanding the things they've been saying for almost 4 years.

"Exactly, because postmodernism by its own definition wouldn't matter in modern society, and it ignores the very real class, gender and ethnic divides of our society" hands moving wildly, watching the way her lips move around syllables, nose scrunching slightly when they trip on their words "it's just a bit shit really"

Its warm today. Sun beating down on us,sat beneath the old tree, acorns litter the ground and light peaks through the leaves, scattering golden hues across the ground. A light breeze rushes past picking up the few loose leaves, rustling the canopy above, an idyllic day. But all I can stare at is her.

Adam George and ross play catch not far from us, jeers and calls of celebration and between it all quiet whispers they think I can't hear,

"Do you think he'll finally admit it?"

"No way"

"Bet 20 on it. He wont"

Amusing in a way, sad in another. But at least ross would be getting his 20. This little essay exchange has been going on for quite some time now, in fact I can't remember a time we hadn't done this, well I could but I didn't want to.

A world without weekly meet ups and late night arguments would be no world to all for me now. Exchanging hand written essays on scraps of paper we scrounged.

"Gizmo?"

"Yeah?"

"You've got a bug in your hair" watching ad their face twisted into some combination of uncomfortable and accepting. Hand coming up to try and reach for it and remove it gently, missing by a longshot, laughing when she whines for help

"Mattyyyyyy get it for mee?"

A roll of my eyes and a shake of my head, I rmemebe ra time where I'd think this annoying, where I would begrudgingly reach forward and pull the bug free tugging loose strands without care. But now, my touch is much more gentle when I lean forward, finding the offending creature and coaxing it free, taking care not to pull her hair at all.

"Come in little guy, leave them alone" loving the way they giggle when I scold the small aphid,

"Your silly"

"Says you mx postmodernism is dead"

"But it isssss"

"Mhm, sure. Let me braid your hair?"

An amused smile and quirked Eyebrow, they tilt their head and shrug before shuffling forward to sit in my lap,

"You know I'm cutting it soon?"

"Mhm"

I don't care, not really, they'd still be the prettiest person I've seen. Maybe. Just maybe. I like when they annoy me.

oh god this is so precious 🥹🥹🥹 I vaguely remember us discussing it in the dms like agessss ago! (I am also team postmodernism is inferior but I will not get into it)

[britts-galaxy-brain]

So I just saw The Post. Good fucking lord. ALL of it is bullshit. I'm almost impressed at how shameless of a liar Lily is.

- Nobody has brought up Scars. The fics that are brought up are the Stockholm series, and the short that was written under Alchorative before that (A Mother's Love, A Daughter's Passion).

- The FireRose thing was ALL Lily. Nobody was pressuring her into shit. She was the one doing the pressuring.

- Lily took advantage of Patch's financial and mental situation to get them to draw zoophile art. She's also openly posted zoophile fantasies on her Tumblr for people to respond to.

- See the "cybergrooming" posts.

- See every recorded Twitch stream of her and Lizzy, Lizzy's testimony, and how she is with Mikhaila.

- She wasn't abused by Lizzy, she suicide-baited as a last ditch effort to control the situation. Which then led to Lizzy calling in a welfare check, which Lily has twisted into a "swatting".

- Lily once again admits to coercing me. I have a ton of screenshots of telling both her and her sockpuppet that I was extremely uncomfortable and not interested in being sexual with her, only to be pressured and guilt tripped into it on multiple occasions. The reason I used to question her motive for coming out was due to the fact that she went from transphobic to entertaining the idea as soon as she thought there was a possibility of lesbians being attracted to her.

- No idea where that even came from. As far as I know, nobody has brought anything like that up.

- Also no idea wtf she's talking about here.

- This was the Opal situation. It wasn't "harmful", Lily just didn't like the proportions and threw a fit.

- As far as I know, nobody has insinuated that Mikhaila has been groomed. Ginger, on the other hand, was in her discord as a minor and started dating Lily when she was of legal age.

- This was the response to her playing with the idea of Rey committing suicide after Aliana dies. Not whatever she's trying to bullshit here.

- Flashing your tits at random and soliciting sexual encounters from your audience isn't anywhere near Family Guy. Good gods you're bad at this.

- The Rebecca Sugar thing has been gone over with a fine-toothed comb and she's still pathologically lying about it.

- She doesn't talk about Big Bang Theory because she likes it. Seems like she takes any form of disagreement as "harassment".

- Nobody has said this. They've said she's fetishist about it at worst and willfully ignorant at best.

- Lily has never been a sex worker. I knew her when she was 18 and fell out with her around the time she came out on her channel. This is a bold-faced lie.

- I can't say much about this one since I'm not black, but I'm inclined to believe the black people who have called her out for this.

- She's had way more than "a few slip ups". She just can't wrap her head around racism that isn't just throwing slurs and being overtly violent about it.

- EOT isn't right-wing. This is a good example of "othering". Lily knows Ethel isn't right-wing and is knowingly lying to manipulate her audience.

- It's fine not to like the word "queer". What's not fine is to attack people who choose to use it as a self-descriptor, nor is it okay to hypocritically call trans people you don't like "tenderqueers" after going on about how bad of a slur you think it is.

- Nobody said she's faking her ethnicity. We said she's being extremely disrespectful toward the culture she's claiming.

- She is brownfacing. I've seen her on video chats often enough to know that she is just as pale as me, and most of my heritage is Scots-Irish, German, British, and Welsh. She even went as far as to change the color of her old Zero Punctuation sprite from white to brown.

- Nobody said she hates Japanese people in general. We've said she has a lot of ignorant opinions she refuses to address that come off as racist.

- Not much to say about this one. It's fine to not like anime. It's utterly brain-dead to act like such a broad genre can be lumped together the way she is.

- See my post linking Alchorative, Lily, and Tara together. There were three accounts total. One on e621 under the name Alchorative, that was active since 2017. The other two were on SankakuComplex under the names Alchorative and EbaraTara. Both accounts on Sankaku were deleted as soon as they were discovered and she went into damage control.

- No idea wtf she's talking about regarding the last two.

Four or Five Months

Before this whole Israel and Palestine conflict broke out, I shit you not, this was my dream word for word.

I always keep track of the dreams that wake me up.

I saw this big, abnormally tall lanky person with a completely "blacked out head" and I couldn't figure it out.

I thought maybe it was an alien because it seemed human but not... something I couldn't understand or relate to AT ALL.

And that feeling was very evident in the dream. It woke me up instantly around 3 or 4 am

_________________________

Alright. Here goes.

Last night's dream was probably one of the worst I've ever had and I say that not because it was overly gruesome or violent but more because of how it made me feel.

So I dreamed about the lead actor in Rwanda again… he was trying to protect me from something -- didn't know what at first, then I was running through and exploring old abandoned malls somewhere (((that's a normal theme in my dreams for some reason)))

This dream left me with such a disturbing, heavy and menacing feeling I woke up and wanted to write about it but I was too cold to move.

I didn't have any cheese or red meat or any of the "nightmare inducing" foods. I avoid those foods on purpose now before bed.

This is just coming from my brain. My last dream was quite pleasant.

They've been pleasant and stupid for the past few weeks....

Main points of the dream:

Abandoned, twisting malls, parking lots

Me stuck in my car when an earthquake hits

Rwanda guy, Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda is one of my favorite movies but WHY AM I ALL OF A SUDDEN DREAMING THIS SHIT.)

Stuck in a house with random people my age of different ethnicities

Rwanda guy is selflessly guarding the house we're in

I was really fearful around the fact that I was gay

Other people in the house were shocked to hear I was gay as we were talking amongst ourselves

Scariest and worst part was when this tall, pitch black, faceless creature was approaching the door from the outside (like the faceless xenomorph thing) I couldn't actually see it's face. All I could see was a tall figure moving towards me with a blacked out face and head. The blacked out head was extremely prominent because I was trying to figure out what it was in the dream.

Before I could see it… I was already lingering by the front door for some reason

I saw the Rwanda guy guarding the door a few metres away and he's shouting: LOCK THE DOOR, QUICKLY LOCK THE DOOR - LOCK IT --- NOW!!!!!

I struggled to lock the door fast enough in the dream because I saw the creature coming at me and I was frozen in fear…. it was like human sized... but it didn't feel human. It felt like a force

I ran to hide with some others in a room…. the creature finally got in and it started grabbing people and torturing them, doing weird sadistic things but I didn't see any of it and it didn't happen to me which is weird

But I knew it was happening

Then I just woke up with a strong, heavy feeling about Russia

Thank god it did not continue

[weenie-kun]

hi yes i heard we were sharing anesthetic stories.

see, i met my anesthesiologist beforehand 'cause i was getting top surgery and you meet your team so if you have any questions they can try to answer and ease your mind.

i feel it's important as a chub korean american guy that i note he was also a sturdier chub asian american guy so y'know, solidarity (even tho idt we were the same ethnicity but like asian community tends to be p friendly even if it can be super divisive). so basically, i trust this man with my life. we're comfortable acquaintances.

i'm being wheeled on my hospital bed to the op room GOING PAST WHAT LOOK LIKE DOORS TO VERY LARGE STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATORS FOR LIKE A GOOD MINUTE OR SO IDK HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY EXPECT TO NEED SURGERY AT ONCE BUT GOD DAMN IT THEY'RE PREPARED TO FIT AN ELEPHANT IN THERE IF THEY NEED TO.

op room is a big ass room with a light weirdly reminiscent of a dentist's office except you could comfortably fit at two jeeps within the amount of space there, the walls are much like what you'd imagine being in a sound-booth would be like except there's no microphone yet all the sound is very much amplified. also. i'm naked. save for a 🤏 thin sheet and some mesh underwear that is gauzy and completely see through.

they're doing stuff with my iv and all that jazz and asian anesthesiologist man says "i'm gonna give you this thingamadoop shot in your upper arm, ur gonna feel a pinch. if you start feeling warm like at the back of your throat outwards BREATHE DEEPLY ALRIGHT JUST BREATHE DEEPLY THROUGH IT." says that shit like unlikely but important, right?

i feel the warm feeling (which was like unadulterated happiness like the kind that makes you giggle and then ur like woah that was a cute noise i didn't know i could make (it is like the actual sun is living in your chest and warming your entire body which is great because i am cold as all fuck)). i start breathing deeply like mr. man said, a little concerned as y'know it's getting pretty hot like it's still the pleasant side of warm but like just as easily the sort of warm that comes with a fever that makes you conk out for extended periods of time without much of a choice.

you see i'm connecting these dots like the sunshine fever thing in my head as it is happening because i have adhd and my stream of consciousness is constantly overflowing.

the last thing i think before i'm out is "THAT GUY TRICKED ME I HAVE BEEN TRICKED" and all i see is like the guy's face blurrily bouncing around as i close my eyes, the only time i have ever been able to picture anything in my mind without dreaming. it's also vaguely like in the style of the spongebob fish.

then i wake up alone and kind of peek open my eyes but like i'm havin a good dream so i'm not ready to wake up yet (it wasn't about the anesthesiologist it was about meeting my favorite fictional character and him falling in love with me and being like supremely happy, which is weird because usually i have back to back trauma nightmares.

they tell me i was asleep for so long they were about to try to force me to wake up. they say they are concerned about it because honestly i should have woken up with the need to pee already because they've given me four bags of liquid and i'm still not needing to use the bathroom. they check the glue on my scars and check my drains. they tell me the thing hugging my legs is keeping me from being tachycardic. i laugh at the word tachycardic.

they say i can have ANYTHING i want. i ask for apple juice and groggily go looking for the bag i brought with me to get a sandwich bag full of quarters in case they have to get it from a vending machine and expect me to shell out for it. THEY DO GIVE ME THE APPLE JUICE BUT THEY DO NOT MAKE ME HAND OVER MY QUARTERS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER. I AM AT PEACE. I COULD DIE RIGHT THERE AND I WOULD HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT IT. I FALL ASLEEP HUGGING A BAG OF QUARTERS WITH MY HAND REACHING OUT TOWARDS MY CUP OF APPLE JUICE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. THE END.

i think i might have reached nirvana. but then y'know... it spit me out and now i'm back here.

[devilsofficialfanfic]

I don't know anything about Sendak's family life, what kind of childhood he had, etc but Lotor and Tiashe had pretty shitty childhoods. Tiashe with being a bastard and a half-blood and looking way too different from other kids and facing discrimination, and Lotor with all that plus Zarkon and Haggar's bullshit. Their childhoods were awful.

So it stands to reason that they both would crave love, that they'd want to give their kids all the love and warmth and happiness they didn't get to receive. That they'd want to have so many kids, and give them what they'd always craved— a loving word, a warm smile, a gentle touch, encouragement, guidance, affection, and so much more.

Which is a pretty lengthy and feelsy way of saying Lotor wants a fuckton of kids, and Tiashe is absolutely down for it. In their eyes they're already taking care of so many kids (the colony kids) albeit in a more distant sort of way so what's fifty more? And the fact that they'll literally get to be a proper parent is just a bonus. Sendak is so damn exasperated with his two idiots (but he loves them so much)

Headcanon that not only kids but also animals are pretty fond of Sendak. They wanna sleep in his fluff. He is not amused.

Lotor being able to summon rift creatures and being able to use them as familiars though!! And purple fire or lightning! Magic + an evasive fighting style that makes him nigh impossible to hit = he's a menace on the battlefield. Add Sendak by his side and Tiashe supporting their husbands with bullets/lasers and magic from behind and they're terrifying.

The three of them spar a lot. Tiashe doesn't enjoy it so their husbands try to find ways to make it more enjoyable for them.

Before running away Tiashe probably worked under a Galra who was kind to them, and they loved said Galra, a parental figure they never had. Though something would rob that happiness from them, though I don't know what, hence Tiashe fucking off to space.

When Lotor becomes Emperor all three plan to just do a reform of literally everything, the way Quintessence is harvested, abolition of slavery, more rights for mixed ones and non-Galra citizens, if a certain ethnicity wants to declare independence they'd let them (though the half-bloods and Altean survivors and non-Galras have formed a tight-knit community in their little communities so I'm sure some if not all would like to stay), they've got so much work ahead of them. But they don't mind— some nights the three of them would look into the starry voids and talk about their hopes and dreams for the future. It's soft and good and warm.

Whenever one of them does something cool and badass, or when one of them is Soft™ with kids, the other two get absolutely turned on. Competent and would make a good parent? Sign them the fuck up!

...also if one member of the triad got injured or died the other two would go ballistic

Tbf, in canon we don’t get a lot of Sendak backstory (other than he was trained by Zarkon personally and was maybe around for the destruction of altea iirc), so pretty much everything on my end is conjecture

It’s definitely canon that Lotor had a shit childhood tho

Yes about the children and animals! Lotor’s prone to adopt anything small and helpless (much to Sendak’s chagrin)

May the gods have mercy on whoever is responsible for one of them getting hurt/killed. They could not run fast enough or far enough to escape retribution

[norgestan]

SPOILERS!!!!! // i actually despise the route they've taken, i really do. if they really wanted dani and amira, and if they were endgame, i actually wouldn't have minded - i would've sighed a little bit sure, but i'd be ok.... but what they're doing with kassim... i'm just ... wow. disappointed and frustrated is a huge understatement. if they wanted representation it would've been great, but making that representation someone who could've been a really amazing love interest for amira? smfh.

uhhh i tried to put a “read more” but it’s not working???

yeah like i really like how the show has handled the first steps on the damira relationship, where there’s a lot of communication and you can see that they’re both negotiating. my biggest complaint is still that dani is a white man taking the spot on what originally was the place of a muslim man of color. and in that sense, i won’t give eskam a pass. while skamit pretended that they “ethnic-looking” white non-muslim female actress was a hijabi teenager of color, and that’s something i don’t think eskam would do, eskam is the second remake that has taken away one of the spots of that couple with two people of color, so they go to a white actor/actress.

but i agree with you: the worst this has got to be the kasim subplot. i DESPITE it with all my being for the following reasons:

perpetuates the notion that all muslim people are homophobic, something that they show has fought before in cris’ season and in the video lucas filmed with amira.

actually, let me go back to that video. because i feel like the eskam writers didn’t look at that video when they were writing this bullshit. both amira and lucas make points about how homophobia is not inherent to islam, that one can be gay and muslim because it depends on how people interpret their religion and how they feel their faith, etc etc. but then kasim spews out the same bullshit amira was fighting in the first place: that lucas, who lives in a christian environment, will have the support of his friends and people around him, but because kasim is muslim he’s deeply scared and doesn’t want to come out. it’s not because lucas is white while kasim is a brown man, it’s not because kasim has had particular experiences with his sexuality outside his religion. no. it’s because lucas is christian and kasim is muslim. and of course christian people are waaay more open minded than muslim people, right? that’s how LITTLE NUANCE was put in the whole thing. the entire story is written like any youtube comment under a clip of las labass, saying that they will punch cris for being bisexual and other islamophobic bullshit.

this kinda shits on the entire religious subplot of og s3. in og, isak’s mother insistence with showering his son with the word of God(tm) was what held him back from coming out to her and part of his internalized homophobia. the season also made points how what isak believed in, aka the evolution, could also lead into homophobic rationalizations of the presence of gay people in the story of humanity, while sana made sure to tell isak (and the audience) that hatred came from fear, not from religion. isak suffered because he was in a white and christian environment, where people were either disgusted by him (his parents at first), completely okay with outing him because “it’s 2016, get out of the closet” (emma, vilde at some extent, bunch of other people who spread the rumors in school), casually calling him slurs (magnus), fetishizing him and even (the dance girls, the skam fandom), and then people who were supportive of him (admittedly, not all of these things were called out in the show, but people got the point with the first two groups). the only muslim character in the show had absolutely no problem with isak being gay, and supported isak and even’s relationship: sana even got mad when she thought the balloon squad hit isak bc he was gay, when they actually hit him because he fought them first out of jealousy - and back then it was the white girls who insulted sana in the bathroom and who theorized that the balloon squad were homophobic. so, like, absolutely all of that is gone here. and in the last dani/amira clip, dani says how his parents aren’t actually “good christians” (hmmm the christian cult survivor in me absolutely loathes that term) because they’re intolerant and homophobic, but the fact that it’s kasim, the muslim gay guy, who says he’s in a bad environment, means that the show wants us to believe and empathize with him, right? UGH. very progressive of you eskam. i’ve never seen this before.

let me expand real quick on that last point. so far it’s only been amira, a straight muslim girl, who has told us that homophobia is not inherent in muslim spaces. HOWEVER, we have an actual muslim gay character say to out faces that he feels oppressed and that his circles will never understand him the way lucas’ christian circles understand and accept him. and because he’s the gay muslim guy, we’re supposed to believe he’s right over amira, who has never experienced being lgbtq+ and muslim. WOW. I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT.

yet again other western stereotype of a gay guy nonchalantly asking amira to play as his beard. WOW. WOWOWOWOW. WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK. but what i hate the most about this is that amira is clearly SO disgusted by this, the narrative wants us to be on her side and demonize the closeted muslim guy of color for this. all while we were supposed to take dani’s al qaeda joke as a funny thing that amira adds to the list of why dani is the funniest guy she knows and why she likes him. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

moreover, i hate this entire conversation: because amira has had two people come out to her. cris and kasim. and when cris, white christian cris, told her she liked a girl, amira was immediately okay with all of that. but when kasim tells amira that he likes a dude, amira’s reaction it’s just SO baffling: she accuses him of FOOLING and LYING to his family and the people around him. but she never once questioned why cris hadn’t told anybody this yet, much less call her a liar for not coming out to everybody. what the fuck is this!!!!!!! not only this is yet another way that the show demonizes kasim, but it’s purposefully writing amira ooc to do so. wow. i absolutely hate it. i don’t think i have said that yet?

and to close this huuuuge rant off lmao, i just really dislike that everything about kasim’s sexuality is misery porn: begging for the white guy he likes (loves?) to understand him and be with him, the pressure of being the only man on his family, the pressure of his sister trying to find him a good muslim girlfriend, how oh so homophobic muslim people around him are... even if at the end the show ends up saying (again) that coming out as a muslim is Not That Bad, all of this is just, immediately gonna make white/non-muslim people look at this and think: “yep yep yep, muslim people are sooooo intolerant, not like Me, raised in a good Christian environment, where we’re Open Minded not like those arabs”. and i already hate all of that, no matter what the resolution is. this is SO catering of western audiences only. terrible writing choice and i won’t let eskam get out of this one. even if they found a way to say the right stuff at the end, what they’ve done for now it’s enough for me to step away from the remake. but i’ll be here to criticize it when the entire episode is out, you bet.

[vicky-shitposts]

12th March 2021,

So what's been happening? Beck saw my Instagram story. Fair enough it may have been his management or whatever, but let's say it wasn't. I tagged him in a story photo of my copy of his Blue Series single and he was one of the 28 people who saw it. Madness. Beck possibly knows I exist. A few days ago a friend of mine was kind enough to hear my entire album, and they're studying music at university so they must know their shit about music. The way I make music is so different to how people normally do, and because of this I thought it would be rendered unenjoyable and "not right". But she heard it and she liked it? The biggest compliments being to the bass, my vocals (a pure fucking miracle) and the piano. She said it sounds very 80s crossed with a John Carpenter soundtrack. Seeing as my music is inspired by horror film soundtracks and 80s new wave, i felt VERY fucking understood. It's got to have been one of my favourite feedbacks I have ever gotten for my music. Amelia messaged me last night saying that I seemed a lot more myself and happy, which was really sweet. I didn't even notice or detect a change in me but I think she might have been right. I did feel a whole load more upbeat yesterday at college, beside the fact that I was the only one with my camera on in sociology so almost the entire class was looking at a screen full of me. I feel sorry for the poor fuckers. My oldest sister has come to spend the day with us today, and I've started making a habit of wearing my pronouns badge so it's going to be interesting to see who adheres to it while she's here - probably nobody - but I have referred to myself as she once already and it isn't even 11 am. Of which I have a catch up history session at that time as I was absent on Monday, and then the Batman video game I ordered should be here soon (it didn't come today, big sad). I'm having major Gotham withdrawals already. Now I have time off from college I might try and go through some songs from my next album, see how much work needs to be done on vocals and such. Before I shelved it, I got to a point where it was almost done and ready for release, so fingers crossed that it won't take much to complete. I think all I really need to do is edit the vocals, try and add guitar to some songs, and record the opening song from scratch (didn't work on anything for reasons I will momentarily explain). Me and Billie have also been talking about fans of people we love pissing us off by complaining about the new material they've put out. Some fuckers can't ever be satisfied, can they? I love how I said literally a few days ago that I was going to start enforcing people using the correct pronouns for me, one way in which has been wearing my she/her/hers pronoun badge around the house. I had my sister over today to spend time with me, mum and her boyfriend. None of them adhered to the badge and quite honestly, it ruined my day. It really upset me to hear "he" and "him" being thrown around. By 3 pm I was in bed having a depression nap, and people have picked up on me not feeling so great because at least two people have asked me. Just call me by my fucking pronouns and I won't sit around with a face like a slapped arse!! It's literally in my fucking chest guys, please, just call me HER. In other news, I just got done watching Birds Of Prey at last and man, that film FLEW by. Normally when I watch a film for the first time I sit and kinda get bored or look on my phone every now and again but NOPE, didn't do any of that. I was sucked right in and seeing five strong, badass female characters of different ages and ethnicities was so inspiring. I really wish I could be like Harley Quinn. There was so much big pussy energy in that film, and seeing Ewan McGreggor in eyeliner was major eye candy. Just made me a little sad we didn't see as much Black Mask as I would have hoped, but when he put that mask on it clicked. That's fucking Obi Wan Kenobi and he's now officially in the DC universe. Absolutely amazing, inspiring stuff that I can only DREAM of being anything like.

The Ideology of Amory is an ideology that is based upon our super human race, and no not the "aryan super race"

bullshit these thick skull nazis yelled about, I'm talking about a super human race that is equal upon almost any,

we DO NOT discriminate through the colour of our skin, our sexuality, our religion, or our ethnicity. The only group

of people we do discriminate against and despise very much so is the ABSOLUTE LOWLIFES that walk among our soil, THE

SCUM THAT RUN THIS EARTH, THE WASTES OF SPERM THAT LOVE TO EXPLOIT MINORS, WASTES OF SPERM THAT LOVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF COUNTRIES FULL OF INNOCENT FAMILIES, AND WASTES OF SPERM WHO DEGRADE THEMSELVES AND LET THEIR BODY BE USED AS A FLESHLIGHT

(prostitutes, hookers, people who freely have no respect for themselves or their body in general).

My point is, these lowlives in general should be disrespected, spat on, beaten up, or even murdered.

There are three different types of groups.

the first group is us, the super human race that is race-equal, aslong as you are a hard working respectable human being

of the world, know what to contribute, is caring, have morals, and even self respect, you're considered apart of the super human race

and should be respected at all costs.

the second group is the people that are at the stage of becoming a lowlife, and it could be because of being emotionally unavailable,

have suffered through something that caused them to feel depersonalized, or because they've been influenced, manipulated even to do so.

Those are the type of people that need to be guided into the light, and show that this is not the way, we communicate to this group with

words, we spread this message and ideology among them, so that they can be one of us, and not become the scum, if our words aren't enough,

then we take action, use aggression among the lost and force our ideology among them until they understand the truth.

the last group, now this is the group that's known as the LOWLIFE PEOPLE, THE SCUM, THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T TAKE ANOTHER BREATHE ON THIS EARTH,

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHOM ALREADY HAVE CROSSED A PATH TO DEEP AND ARE FULLY AWARE OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING, NOT EVEN GUIDANCE CAN SAVE THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE

THEY'RE OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS FAILURES TO THEIR PARENTS, THESE GROUPS SHOULDNT BE CONISDERED AS PEOPLE, ANYONE THAT ARE ON THIS SIDE SHOULD BE ERADICATED, WIPED OFF THE FACE

OF THE EARTH, BURNED, HANGED, SPAT ON, DEGRADED EVEN MORE THEN WHEN THEY ALREADY WERE, BEATEN UP, AND HUMILIATED, AS THEY SHOULD BE.

THIS LIST OF PEOPLE INCLUDE:

Prostitutes

Whores (people who give their body away to complete strangers for free.)

Pedophiles

Registered Sex Offenders

(this does not count if they were falsely accused)

Junkies

Dictators

Neo-Nazis

KKK

White Supremacists

School Shooters

Furries

People with no morals

Communists

Rapists

Corrupt Law Enforcement

Corrupt Governments

People who take pleasure out of taking advantage of minors

In general this list includes anyone that has hate over race/religion/ethnicity, anyone who are complete degenerates, people who have no respect for their body, people

who are the exact opposite of us, the super human race. Not these commies, these fucking furries, school shooters, whores, sluts, nonces, or pieces of shit.

should be all eliminated, so that we all can live in a functional society and to stop overpopulating the earth with complete scum like the ones listed.

As the united super human race, we should also remove the division between nations and races, so that we can all become one.

and have easy access to privacy from the government, from spyware, or companies that use our data for ads, everyday we are always

watched, especially people who live in The United States of America, if you are an American, you are always watched by them grinning

NSA agents, always looking your every move, you're also always tracked by websites that use you for cookies and data, always listening to

your private conversations so that an ad pops of what you were just talking about minutes ago,

my point is, everyone, deserves the human right for privacy, their human right to have any sort of data deleted, etc.

My Ideology is solely based on our equal super human race full of respectable people that excludes the lowlife people who contribute nothing, have no self-respect, and no morals,

whom deserve privacy from any forms of government or data trackers.

If you believe in this ideology, you too are a member of the super human race, and me along with many others, respect you, spread the word, spread the message, and may the lowlife be

gone, amen.

If you don't believe in this ideology, there's room for you in the deepest part of hell.

I just saw these Koreans , mixing with few students out there , sitting near and with a bunch of people from Europe studying at our place on where I live and I felt pity lol for one of our worker irl here because she's a little darker skins than all of us and been labeled also misunderstood by few of European people out there and actually one of those guys told her if she's an African (coming from there) or black people or something due to her skin colors like few times in a week and even those Korean students knew that she aren't even that . Those guys ... Treating her in mean way . These people doesn't even know how to differentiate at all . There's a lot of Asian races with different religions and etc also ethnic out there . Why don't you fucking google or something about it ? Make your fucking source of device useful for once and just fucking think . Fucking stupid . One of those Koreans honestly didn't know how to speak English much but corrected it for her , supporting her . So does I . If I get fully involved , I might punched those dudes or get over rage about it . Those outsider are so fucking rude , not just drinking and making messed over here while talking to his friends but also calling also mocking her . We foreigners , do understand things and etc . We aren't even dumb , naive or something smh wtf . We know lots of things too . Just shut up and be nice . Those guys even was laughing at her . You think I didn't see or feel anything about it ? I feel sorry for her :/ Don't people out there know that there are black skins asians out here or something ? Plus , it's hot over here . Some of our people , us , getting lots of sunburned irl here due to busy with irl and no times to take care of things and etc of themselves . And that , my friend is Asian okay . Fuck this shit . You can check our birth certificates or something or our ID card or ask our parents . Plus she aren't even looked like one of what they've been told about . After hearing these things by myself and experiencing this , I don't even wanted to visit their country or something . Because it's hurting . It's offending even if it's not me who's facing it . You brought that assholes attitudes from your place to our place and making hurtful gestures towards others by being fucking racist and mocking for no reasons . Just fucking keep it , we don't wanna know or etc . You can go home or something . We don't accept those kind of attitude or words or etc like that around here . As a friend , I understand and feel hurt also etc about it . This isn't the first time . Too many times . They know nothing I guess and etc at over here . So fucking disappointing to know and etc about outside people behaving like that :'/

People via online usually likes to responds with something more towards "what they've seen is what they will say or think about you" , just like photos of my hands or upper arms that I've posted , so they said : "Oh , it's pretty dark ! So this person might be a black people ?" And they continuously to assumed and brought heartache . So I decided to posted my lower arms or hands , and surprisingly they said after that , "Oh ? Bright skins ! Okay .. This is started to be so confusing ... Probably something is going on but like we said , probably it's black people or dark skin person like black guy in nature ." And I realized that words after that by accidents so I posted my neck till my collar bones area and my lower face then my face . Surprisingly after that they said , "... ?? I don't get you ?? Who and what are you ?" The answer is no . Don't assume or judge . Okay , it's ugly to you , I know . I know I'm not attractive anyway . Probably to you I am but to me , I'm just not . I've used to my features too much , so it had blinded me than usual to outsider people out there . You don't know , just admit that you don't know . Don't pretending like you know everything about them ? Be curious , not judgemental . Just shut up , just because it's dark a bit over here and brighter on there and here so you have the power to put words and answers inside their mouths , no , you don't . I don't want to listen . Okay listen up , I have tanned issues due to being active at outside sometimes it gets hard sometimes , I don't wear or use that what ever SPF 50 or something to cover myself from heatness and it's always been sunny in real life here on where I lives so fuck off and quit assuming , I wearing like black clothes a lot in real life , I born with bright and lighter skins than nowadays so just shut up for permanent or something . My skins are a bit dark on some area and some goes lighter and brighter and some goes dark here and there also whiter than the rest but mostly a bit dark especially my fingers and upper hands than the rest due to had been exposed to then sun and heatness in real life here , did you know that our temperature of sunny day in our country can be as high till 40°c ? I living somewhere in Asia country , nevertheless to say which , for we have lots of ethnics , cultures , religious and split country parts and etc . What ? You want me to take off my clothes or something in front of you to show the proofs ? Hell no . See me for yourself irl here or face to face . Devastated and wasted my times and I don't have to prove any shits to anyone here . I hate people who easily like to defined someone just by pictures , for god sakes , please . It's just childish . If you don't like what you see or just dislikes me , just go away or avoid or etc . No need to do things that can caused heartache or something . I know you've been looking for someone and etc or like what you seen and thought I can give too just like others did . Just leave me the hell alone already . Quit assuming and judging . This is why I hate taking pictures , nobody has to know anything about me and I will hide till nothing left they could've seen of me . I'm good at disappearing and being mysterious as far as I wanted and you will be confused so much till you can't stand it at all . Plus , I have reasons why I keep on hiding or be silent and I do have cut and scars lol to covered so yeah . I know I'm ugly . Don't fucking touch me or something . I'm fucking offended , seriously . Losing my fucking head and heart trying to explain and talk to people especially on here .... 💔 @any people who already misunderstood already .
