#like. they invented racism. 💀💀💀

[velvety-love]

I love ffxiv i love the community but man is some of it seeped in misogyny

[twisted-wonderland-but-gayer]

I like the idea of introducing the twst cast to things from our world that don’t exist in theirs? For example I for some reason like the silly idea that they don’t have fire alarms? And like when they hear it and you tell them what it is they’re like “wait really?” Or you refer to a place that doesn’t exist in their world like a restaurant or something like that “Ive been to Disneyland so many times” “wtf is Disneyland?” “I’m craving Taco Bell” “huH?”

My favorite tho! I for some weird reason headcanon that people in twisted wonderland don’t know you can go to the moon?💀

And when you bring it up and start mentioning how the first man walked on the moon and they’ve got a robot on Mars they’re like “WAIT SERIOUSLY???” The moon thing is entertaining to me😭

Okay but here's something to consider:

Racism/Classism in language

So much of our language has shitty origins

Like "Hold down the fort" was invented by colonizers fighting off natives

Almost every languages word for 'Cannibal' is derived from an indigenous group. In this case, Kalinago were the tribe that cannibal derived from and they used it to described how "savage" they were. It was also believed to be mixed with the word canine to double that meaning

Like what would their word for cannibal come from?

Phrases like "see you soon" and "Gung ho" here original used to mock Chinese immigrants but lost their og meaning

Gymnasium literally means "to exercise naked" cause the original gyms were fully nude

Assassin is derived from the word Cannabis.

"Okay" came from the Choctaws "okeh" which means "it is so"

That's not even taking into all the sexual terms in the meme culture rn that's slowly having a different meaning (rawdogging, glazing, dick riding, edging, ect)

I mean scumbag, sucks, punk, musk, and porcelain were all sexual in origin too and we no longer associate them to that.

What I'm saying is their words are gonna be so much more interesting with all the additional species there are to be racist to. Esp between fae and humans. The racism has potential ok?

Also how do yall think everyone evolved in this world?? Do the humans there have their origins traced back to tiktaaliks? And if not can you imagine Yuu going to the hospital and the doctors freaking out over your DNA and prob cant give you a blood transfusion?

💀 not a Tumblr user but a discord conversation where someone in one of my fandoms started repeating in-universe racism against a culture that exists in the canon uncritically like it was canon fact. When it is supposed to be clear bigotry in canon

ok so one thing about me is that I'm italian. obviously. and there's lowkey a trend among a few italian far right politicians to enjoy high fantasy literature in a racist way, exhibit A our fascist PM who really loves Tolkien — LOTR was published as a one book edition in the 70s with a really weird introduction essay that made it about racial purity and whatever, too weird to get into it . u get it

ANYWAY. the point is. I believe that there are people who just uncritically get into in-universe fantasy –isms for a variety of reasons. like when ASOIAF fans regurgitate weird misogynistic discourse against the female characters that comes from *other characters* like it's a fact. sometimes people are stupid. however. because of the Tolkien racists of Italy and other experiences... I'm just really primed to side eye people who engage with fandom like that. it gives me the ick a bit! I try very hard to not pass judgement on people based on how they enjoy fiction but... 💀💀💀 skull emoji react was invented for moments like this. I am validating you so much

[wolfertinger]

I like how he went from making jokes like "blm diaperfur art" to trying to make some profound social commentary with naked furry tits acting like he's a renaissance artist hell even JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF reincarnated 💀 anyone who's taken a basic history lesson knows america had a cruel history of racism this isn't some new challenging statement you're making. But if you have the rights to sit on your ass at home all day getting into internet drama making furry gooner art about it you have way more freedoms and privileges than your ancestors could have ever dreamed of having, don't act like you're some sort of martyr. there are real people in this world suffering genocide, abuse, slavery, etc TO THIS DAY. but it's always woe is me, im the real martyr here because people are criticizing me online and i can't make myself turn off my phone.

i just. do not understand, why despite the lip service. i have never seen him actually do, anything leftist. all he does, is regurgitate breadtuber videos, and posts that were popular on twitter, in 2022. he says nothing new, or inventive.

as it was stated before. zootopia has been out, almost a decade now (ouch.) discussions around its poor handling of race=species, has been happening for literal years.

salem bringing it up, THREE separate times, then immediately turning around, and making his own version of zootopia, where he makes a trans woman a literal predatory animal, who mutually fetishizes a disabled trans man "prey animal", who is infected with a disease(toxoplasmosis), that takes away his ability to reason fear. if salem, was trying to improve on the zootopia racism. i think, he just made it worse.

Also considering not even 3 days ago she was crying about Bummy being a made up British slur she invented herself 💀

And now she’s saying people refuse to use logic to see her using an actual slur coded word isn’t actually that at all 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I wonder how long before she changes her story again and try’s the “buddie fans hacked me again I’d never say such a thing!” Defense.

Or she’ll do like what she did yesterday when someone called her out for being ableist on Twitter. She’ll ss their post, block the person, then crop it a little to cut off where she was being called out, and then post it saying a fan let her know it seemed ableist and she’d never want to be seen like that 💀

No literally like I live in Britain and have for most my life and as you’ve probably got from my other posts i have probably heard every British saying and derogatory term or slur whether that be racist or homophobic or whatever (and I interact with enough of a range of people from different regions of the uk to like have the variances) but never have I heard of bummy being used like that

Like I’ve heard it in the way pertaining to homeless people or being bummed out by something but like if it’s a homophobic one it’s one of those super niche and like archaic ones

I’ve also heard “bummed” being used as a reference to anal sex obviously and in crude ways but that’s different from bummy and bummed is more commonly used in the disappointed way than in this way

BUT I SCOURED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NO REFERENCE TO BUMMY BEING USED IN A DEROGATORY WAY TO GAY PEOPLE

But on that as a little bit of a nerd I want y’all to remember that word meanings evolve over time through colloquialism

When you say something is hysterical and you’re not referring to the hysteria that women used to be diagnosed with

When you say Bugger doesn’t relate to sodomy or Bulgarians now

On the DL used to be about men (particularly black men) sleeping with men while being married to women

Long time no see was a way to make fun of Asians

That’s all to say that to say that a word that’s most commonly used in reference to homeless people or to express disappointment is people being homophobic is quite a leap

Whereas what she’s doing rn and her having like multiple posts downplaying Tommys part in the racism and all that stuff and her being a white woman that is STARTLINGLY confident in speaking about what people should be feeling about Lou’s wording or posts or Tommys past behaviour is TELLING to me

GAJSKF NOT THE HACKED EXCUSE AGJSKFKF

For real 😭😭

[ofmermaidstories]

Sorry to clutter your askbox with this but I was reading wuthering heights thinking about how much of an ass Cathy is to almost every one around her and the thought descended on my cranium like lightning: Deku could fix her. And he did! Kinda ! SJLT reader is definitely more likable and her being self conscious makes her leagues better than Cathy (at least where I am rn in the book) as a person. Which makes their dynamic better. Cathy would just accept his affections without any fuss, but for sjlt reader uts takes time djlshdlsbd

Izukus care and love are so unyielding I have this mental image of cat with it's claws out, huddled in a corner and hissing (bc its too much. She's not that good of a person. She doesn't know what to do with soooo much genuine care and it's kinda frightening). Izuku is just... slowly approaching with the world's most serene, loving smile on his face, arms outstretched ready to embrace yet another problem child. .. he is a menace,,,,, ppl should know better than to have a breakdown in his vicinity bc that's a one way door into his life!

He is insane.... he is driving ME insane

oh god it’s been years since i’ve read wuthering heights but you’re right about cathy just accepting the affection as her due. </3 she and heathcliff are both sociopaths lmao, literally doomed from the start alas, they need each other to feed the wild fire inside of them both. deku, i would argue, in comparison needs structure—he needs to build a life with his loved ones, a solid safe space. i think in the end he would get the edgar treatment—completely and utterly shafted LMAOO.

that’s only with cathy the first, though. 😌 i think her and sjlt!reader’s tempestuousnesses (is that a word??) are different, in that while they’re both a flavour of pride, scribbles is also very much coming from a mundane place of hurt, as opposed to whatever classism/racism/religious fear cathy has going on LOL. 🥹 if anything i wonder if deku would be kinda disdainful of the attitudes he’d find himself surrounded by, in a wuthering heights world? 🧐 i think he’d eventually go bonkers; everyone beating up/neglecting children or whatever, he’d lose his shit. 💀 basically invent superheroes a century early or whatever just to put a stop to all the abuse. 😩😭 menace INDEED!!! maybe he’d start his own orphanage LMAO. treat all these foundlings and whatnots right. 🥹 really kickstart his collection of people, lmao. and then his thrashy, feral cat hisser can come in and give him something to reach out to and save. 🥹🥹

[thegreatimpersonator]

it is kind of funny that the same swifties that were upset at taylor being slighted by not winning soty and saying “ofc she’s lose against a grammy darling 🙄🙄” are the same ones who blatantly ignore the systemic racism in today’s aoty win. it’s not taylor’s fault like obv she didn’t personally invent racism or white privilege, but i have to laugh at people babying taylor for never winning soty while being like “people should stfu about midnights not deserving to win.”

it’s not surprising that swifties would ignore racism in the grammys for taylor (1989 aoty for example) but it’s genuinely frustrating to see them act like taylor is an underdog still. and the fact that people can’t have conversations even remotely touching on the fact that the aoty win was tacky and only given as a statement to her successful year without being called a hater is exhausting. i thought the same with harry styles snubbing beyonce last year. like a black woman hasn’t won aoty since 1999 and i’m supposed to feel sorry that taylor lost soty to another white girl?

i really do like taylor (well i’m ehh on her as a brand and i like her music a lot!) and i think she genuinely deserved soty for certain songs in the past, but i would love to understand what world swifties live in to where they just dgaf. and i can’t even say it’s only white swifties (though it mostly is) because i’ve seen non white ones also be like “well sza’s album sucked!” when that’s not the point of the conversation people are trying to have lol …

Literally how do we break it to their rich white billionaire icon that she is not the underdog because she didn’t win one Grammy but won 2 others the same night like 💀

[velvetstreets]

So many popular larries are saying that Taylor R is mean to her coworkers only because they don't have dirt on her they invent lies to debase a WOC. All because they can't accept that Harry is in a relationship with a WOC. It is the same as reading countless threads from MAGA fans conspiracy filled racist propaganda.

Euuuwwwwww yeah I don’t associate w #them cause not only are they obsessed and unwilling to let go of a relationship that never happened; they claim to love them even tho their harassment and false claims have definitely impacted the people involved negatively

Also I’m not surprised about the racism, any time a white celebrity (especially a MALE white celeb) has interacted with/dated a black woman SPECIFICALLY, the racism from ‘fans’ is SOOOOOO QUICK to jump out, like they can’t WAIT to be anti black and extremely racist. And it happens every single time.

Anyways idc about them cause I know Harry despises the fuck outta them 💀

I just really really hope and pray Taylor stays offline and enjoys her relationship with Harry!

[inmyhorrorsera]

I was planning on watching amc's The Terror to scratch that cannibalism itch, but stupidly decided to read the book first... Look, I knew what I was getting into, but still it's insane to read how these victorian-era british men invented new types of racism, like, this captain didn't consider the french canadian tru white people 💀

[rpctattler]

so you're saying that people should only write in worlds with no racism, no antisemitism, no classism, and no ethnocentrism? // insane thing to say when 90% of the racism in jkrs books isnt even characters doing racist shit own screen but that the entire meta existence of the thing is racist. Like wearing yellowface isnt writing about racism it's just racist 💀 and are you really telling me the blood purity shit is thoughtfully done.... I agree conceptually but practically? // what's insane is how you completely manage to miss the point, especially when you're trying to act like lycanthrope and goblins, neither of which are JKR inventions, are inherently racist or racial allegories.

[halfblood-princes-crown]

I just think it’s funny how

Snaters will literally dump the flaws and mishaps of their fav onto Sev then act like it’s canon…

Like if your fav is a SOB and a dumbass then just say that!

Sev being obsessed with Lily…babes that was James😬 in fact, it was never specified that Sevs feelings were romantic…Assumption 101! James never took no for an answer then basically gave Lily an ultimatum… ‘date me and your friend lives’ type shit

Sev being a blood supremacist…. *cough* Regulus *cough*

Severus left Voldemort’s side ONLY because Lily was in danger! *coughs louder* Regulus *coughs louder*

He said Mudblood! Racism!!! Yeah, blame the half-blood for using his own slur but then like Draco…the pure blood who said it on multiple occasions💀💀 ✨hypocrisy ✨

Or if they aren’t doing that, they’re over exaggerating things..

He abused children! No, Umbridge abused children…Sev was just strict and a slight bitch, and what about it?

He was Nevilles Boggart! He was such a bad and mean teacher! Babes…🤣! Neville himself said that the thing could have easily turned into his grandma. If you really take time to think about it, and the way that boggarts work, Neville’s worst fear wasn’t really Snape, it was strict authority figures in general…ya know how Hermione’s worst fear was failure and not McGonagall herself? Yeah.

And let’s not forget the golden excuses!

Severus never grew up! James did! Where? James DIED….he was still going behind Lily’s back and everything. Just because you get married and have a family doesn’t mean you’re cured of Doucheitus…but I forgot…

He joined the order! Severus joined the DEs! Take what you will from that…🥱😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😑😑😑😯😯😧😧😧SORRY IM AWAKE! I fell asleep from the boredom of not giving a fuck. You can join a group or project or organization meant to do good and still be a dick wad, you can also join groups and stuff that do harm without actually knowing what you’re getting into or what it all means ….shall I name irl examples of these things?? Or are we not ready for that conversation??

And the victim blaming is one of my two personal favorites!

Severus was bullying people, he deserved it! You’ve heard it here folks, if you’re a “bully” then you deserve to be sexually assaulted!

James was defending Lily! Wrong, when James approached Severus (because and only because Sirius’ incompetent ass couldn’t be productive and entertain himself), he was minding his own business, and the mudblood situation happened AFTER Severus was already choking mid air…that still wouldn’t explain how SA is ok, but go off I guess

“Snape must have used the spell on James or other students and thats how James learned it it! Snape got a taste of his own medicine!” That’s an assumption, but I expect nothing less from yall. From the looks of it, Snape never recieved credit for the invention of levicorpus. Lupin even stated that it was already popular and almost everyone used it to play jokes among themselves. So obviously everyone knew it…and let’s say for a second he DID use it on other students, SO DID EVERYONE ELSE! Why did that grant James the right to SA him?

He was a douchebag and he deserved to be bullied! Yes, the poor, abused kid deserved to have a rich, entitled pureblood and his ducklings in his face everyday SIMPLY BECAUSE HE EXISTED. Good job👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And the pathetic thing is

Y’all can’t even admit that Severus is twice as interesting as all of your favs combined considering the fact that y’all have to take Sevs achievements and tragic backstory and give them to your plot piece characters while simultaneously proving our points about Severus right…I’m looking at the Regulus gurus…

By the looks of it, y’all only hate Severus because of his attitude…y’all don’t like that he isn’t the conventional “character with a tragic history does everything they can to not let the past get to them!”…. the “my past does not define me” hero….y’all don’t like that he’s a realistic representation of what abuse does to a person and that’s honestly concerning…

That’s just my take though🤷🏽‍♀️

[harcove]

Uhm sorry tf do antis mean with "pedo" now jesus christ first racism, then homophobia now this I swear they invent a new sin to hate a character for everyday it's tiring. They don't deserve an answer

Honestly? I've gotten tired of even bothering to explain anything to them at this point. They do not listen, and they don't actually care for an answer they really do just want to start problems and make us feel like we're bad people lmao.

Why bother explaining anything at this point to them when all they do is find new things to make up to try and get some sort of rise from us? Like, yall clearly the ones getting a rise. Touch grass, have a nice glass of orange juice, take a nap, yall antis worry me with how concerned you are with people liking a tv show character you don't like.

Idk who's more obsessed with Billy; me, or the antis 💀
