#fake equality

[sir-klauz]

I hate tumblr ppl who go on about how it’s not ok to be anti semitic, ableist, transphobic, racist, bad parents that cause trauma etc. and proceed to.. like, do literally all of that themselves to people, their friends who are minorities, their partners.

You think you’re not like the bigots? Well, I’m sorry, but you’re made with exactly the same cloth as them and your ideals may be real and you may wish them to be how you are but you you gotta truly believe in them, not just put them on for a Good Face or the cracks start showing all too easily.

You’re not pro equal rights if you still criticise people expressing any mental health symptoms.

You’re not pro equal rights if you only hang out with white people.

You’re not pro equal rights if you never talk about anything other than the things that personally upset you, because whao you can care about other minorities rights as well! Shocking!

You’re not pro equal rights if you try bottle up how people feel with emotional blackmail about how you won’t be around them unless they’re always happy.

You’re not pro equal rights if you still critique Jewish appearance, or the real life experiences of anti semitism Jewish people share and punish them for sharing it, after years of us having to be in hiding for the fact of our ancestors being killed, and still to this day synagogues being targetted and us likewise the same, being taregtted or ostracised, whilst pretending to care about anti semitism but mutually participating in it from a privileged position. Don't lecture Jewish people about what's anti semitic or not if you're not Jewish. Don't do it if you've never experienced anti semitism yourself. Don't get angry if they have. Don't ostracise if they speak about it. We've had years of people shutting our lives down, don't convert to do the same in our safe spaces either, we have enough of it in the street and amongst social gatherings, even in dating due to mocking of appearance, and being treat as ugly when we are not.

You’re not pro kids rights for equal rights if you hit your kids, or do anything to them which can leave quite a serious impact on them which hurts them, abandonment, child hatred, venting anger about things nothing to do with them out onto them.

You’re not pro equal rights if you never really actively support trans people around you or do anything at all to welcome trans people the same way as anyone else.

You’re not pro equal rights if you hate men. You’re not pro rights if you hate a specific gender as a whole.

You’re not pro equal rights if you treat the minority different to the mainstream, or what things you like the most with more humanity.

You’re not pro equal rights if you abuse animals. If you act like they don't even feel, if you ignore their depression, neglect, unhappiness.

You’re not pro equal rights if you judge the poor for being poor, or only wish to befriend rich people.

You’re not pro equal rights if you criticise speech and writing abilities of people with dyslexia or other things which make it difficult for people to write to your standard. It’s also classist, not everyone can afford the same level of education as you have been privileged to afford.

You’re not pro equal rights if you judge people’s physical appearance negatively, it’s not relevant, and just because you don’t find them attractive doesn’t mean they’re not worth your time. Similarly the people who surround themselves with only people they deem less attractive than them on purpose are dodgy as they’re trying to be the best/are threatened when it shouldn’t matter and what they do should just be their own business as everyone has worth.

I find myself growing a bit tired of the take that 'we need female mangakas because they won't oversexualize women/they can write female characters well/etc" firstly, it reduces women's art to the exclusively wholesome, which is just factually incorrect, but more importantly: we need female mangakas because women make great fucking art and shouldn't be pushed out of the industry because of misogyny. It's that easy. We don't need a specific thing that ~only women can do well~ for it to be wrong that the industry is so sexist. If every single male mangaka started writing female characters like they've been studying feminist literature for 20 years we'd still need female mangakas.

I dislike takes that Danse would be just as conservative in modernized aus when it's clearly shown his staunch views of things come from his time in the Brotherhood and his deep-rooted desire to belong to something with a greater purpose.

Not to mention lines that show much more open-mindedness that get overlooked for his harsher sentiments when you first meet him. Like the oppurtunity to be a part of something is why Danse fell so far into Brotherhood dogma and it doesn't negate the offense things he does but I feel like it's just lazy to be like "hmmm he'd def be racist" just so it aligns to his BoS beliefs.

For the ask game

What do think would happen in a brudick au where they go public by getting married

for the ask game!

public reactions to BruDick my beloved. i've done a couple of concept similar to this for the ask game but i will do a thousand more just because i think they're fun.

i think all of it hinges on *when* Bruce and Dick publically get married. and because they're both smart about it, they wouldn't rush it. even if their relationship has been going on since they were a teenager, there's a lot of angles to consider. not just how the League will react, but how Gotham will react. this is Bruce Wayne publically marrying his ward and that's a massive scandal. they would hold off as long as they possibly could, likely until Dick is in his mid-twenties. i think they would spin it as something they're not exactly hiding, but not super public about either. Bruce didn't turn the wedding into a press parade (Dick would've killed him if he tried) but he doesn't hide the wedding band and he's quite public with affection toward Dick, in a very "i dear you to say something" way. and the reaction is. baffled, at first. because how *do* you say something? this is *Bruce Wayne*. he has the cleanest image possible. sure, the League expected it, they've seen the uglier side of Bruce, but the public? no one knows how to report on the story because Bruce is a philanthropist. he's charming and beloved.

there are a lot of questions at first. and it doesn't help that Bruce "will tell anyone about his sexual escapades" Wayne is now suddenly shy about sharing his relationship details. he says Dick prefers the privacy and leaves it at that, always pivoting when he's asked to bring up something else, like one his charity programs. it's a very calculated move, and sharper reporters like Vicki Vale are noticing how Bruce always changes the topic to bring up his charity work, painting himself in a good light. so she focuses on trying to talk to Dick. cornering him when he's trying to work, pushing all these questions about things like grooming and Dick's status as Bruce's ward. i think Dick would be far less kind to the press just because he has less patience (and less of a reputation to maintain, if anything he's a bit amused by this whole thing affecting Bruce's rep as much as it is) so his rude responses are fuel to the fiire. long think pieces are posted about about grooming, and then in support of Bruce's marriage, long thing pieces are written about the history of adult adoption in gay spaces. it's all very messy and drawn out and Bruce's reputation certainly takes the hit. i'd love to see this happen specifically around Tim's Robin era and it affecting Jack Drake's trust in Bruce, in allowing his son around Bruce. if Bruce could groom his own ward, who's to say he won't do it to Jack. i'd love to see Jack updating his will that Bruce Wayne isn't allowed to adopt his son, should something happen to him and that affecting Tim after Bruce dies.

i also love the thought of this whole thing causing Bruce to be approved by the "wrong" crowd. there are other celebrities and famous people who take part in questionable activities that border on illegal and trafficking, and now, those people would see Bruce as one of their own. they embrace Bruce socially, and i think it'd be the repercussion Bruce would despise the most. if good people see him as a creep, he'll live with it. but other creeps thinking he's the same as them is a step too far. but, he can spin that to his advantage. he testifies against them, recording conversations of admitting to crimes instead of going after them as Batman. because it helps clean up the image of Bruce Wayne if Bruce is the one taking down rich pedophiles. but it still raises suspicion that Bruce is doing this just for that reason- to look better. he's alienated from most of his Brucie Wayne social circles- even Oliver, who used to be willing to play nice with him in front of the cameras has *no* interest in associating with Bruce after this. the League is. tolerating the marriage and accepting that Dick is an adult they can't tell what to do (even though many of them have pulled him aside to ask if he's okay and gotten brushed off) but that doesn't mean they have to be nice about it. it causes small tanks in Bruce's reputation, even affecting his company enough that he momentarily steps down from CEO, probably giving the position to Lucius for the time being, just to redeem himself.

anytime Bruce takes in a new ward, it's questioned by the public. Cass, Duke, even Damian raises eyebrows as everyone's wondering the unspoken question, if Bruce is going to get with *this* one too. but as the years go on, Bruce remains perfectly loyal to Dick. and Dick seems content as an equal partner to Bruce. if anything, Bruce's loyalty to Dick helps rebuild his reputation more than anything. everyone expects him to ditch Dick for the newest young ward, but he doesn't. which seems to prove that Bruce and Dick were telling the truth about their relationship just happening out of the blue. some people are diehard defending Bruce, pointing out how long Dick lived in Bludhaven before Bruce and Dick got married and if Bruce was grooming Dick, why would he have let that happen, and so on. Dick's autonomy is heavily questioned in all of this, no matter what Dick insists. i think Dick would start posting romantic pictures on his social media just to be spiteful, no matter how much it gives Bruce a heart attack. he dares people to say to his face what they'll say online, making galas particularly tense and interesting, because while Bruce is trying to damage control, Dick is staring down anyone attempting to imply things by making them admit it directly. it forces most of the gossiping to settle down, just because how Dick refuses to beat around the bush. i love the idea of Bruce having a publicist who is Perpetually Stressed Out by Dick's shit.

eventually, everyone accepts it. Bruce still doesn't get back into the social circles he's been exiled from and some creeps try to rub elbows with him, but the hype around it dies down. it becomes one of those things talked about on social media, like a "top ten things you didn't know about Bruce Wayne", with number one being that Bruce married his ward. i think Bruce and Dick would work hard to scrub the internet of proof that Dick was Bruce's ward in the first place. since Dick was never adopted, they just delete a lot of pictures, get articles taken down, and largely let the public forget the idea it happened. they can't completely scrub it, but there's definitely an effort put forth to remove it from recent memory and make it something you'd have to dig to find out about. Dick Grayson is just seen as Bruce Wayne's questionably young husband who helps in take care of all the kids he takes in. they get more affectionate in public because of it, as Bruce gets bolder kissing Dick at galas, always having an arm around him, bringing him to meetings. Dick becomes Bruce's arm candy and well, Dick is a pretty man, so can anyone blame Bruce? they're a photogenic couple and Bruce likes to highlight that. he likes to make people stare, now that the whispers of morality have died down. it's proof that Bruce had his cake and is eating it too, getting to publically marry Dick and still be loved at the end of the day, even if it took a couple rough years to get there.

if i were ever to trust evidence of ghosts it would be on ghost files because theres just no way theyre staging it yeah yeah theres always the possibility its fake but deadass they gain very little from doing that. the majority of comments are about the guys fucking around and the insane deranged shit they both do, not discussions on the evp or video captures. the ghosts just give them something to bounce off of, they dont even need evidence to make a good episode. thats why id be willing to believe actually compelling evidence if its on ghost files, bc theres any honest people online it would be them

Society: make sure you know what your doing is right maybe it’s not youuu though really just as phase 10 omg 15 years are you sure though wait awhile until I can create laws to ban who you from entering a women’s and mens bathrooms after transitioning and you can’t pee outside either that’s a fine what list you signed up to i am so here for women’s safety and um trans mens I Gwuess we are doing it for HERTHEMHIMHER even tho our bathroom bills band trans men from coming into women’s bathrooms if they’ve transitioned and band them from men’s bathroom because gonna pretend ur not a man as well n Yeahhh Sooo whilst causing physical illness related to urinating which you can get from forcefully with holding the need to pee in for too long and, but also aw free free boob jobs for cis women if they hurt your mental health but for trans men ahhh not relevant…

I’m not serving the the rag of cis “needs”, that aren’t needs, it’s so pathetic. You excuse abusers inside your own households and writhing your own friendship groups a high percentage of the time yet… now suddenly abuse is important to you and you’re targeting people that aren’t even doing it because you’re too cowardly to bother with confronting the real problem, which is how you treat people.

BLOWS DUST OFF-HEY OKAGE BUDDIES WHATS YOUR OPINION ON A FAN SEQUEL? - SPECIFICALLY A COMIC?

Any way I’m working on a fan sequel that takes place 200 years after the original and I really wanted to go a female protag route because I felt like there’s something untapped in such a concept. And also a second legit over powered evil king as well

I’m hoping to get the soup and heart of the series, which it’s tongue and cheek pokes at jrpgs and the roles we play in such games and how I can we do a similar vibe when it comes to both sequels, how a new set of characters act when they have the pressures of the original cast on them and as well as how our new protag is with both our titular evil king and a new king as well. I’ll keep posting the process as I go on!!! Wish me luck!!!!

I do sometimes think of Mine trying so hard to make the clan stable for Daigo, jumping off the roof to protect Daigo and repent, and inadvertently making the financial situation even worse for Daigo as his moneymaking clan is dissolved and the Tojo Clan situation sinks even lower and gets so close to bankruptcy.

Daigo having to stay afloat and make desperate decisions and be used. Probably had to hear his own clansmen view Mine with derision as a traitor because they didn’t see the person like Daigo and nobody liked him.

Daigo further throwing himself into the deep end to try and patch a sinking ship. The domino effect after Y3 of Daigo trying his best to keep up something that can’t be recovered. A heavy burden and he only had some support.
