so now that there has been a spike in antisemitic hate crimes (in some areas rising over 1000%), synagogues have been vandalized, firebombed, and literally razed, jews have been assaulted in public, jewish businesses have been vandalized, jewish homes and businesses have been marked with the star of david, and a man broke into his jewish neighbor's home intending to murder the entire family for being jewish, are we gonna get an apology from the people who were mocking jews for being afraid of an increase in antisemitism after oct. 7th?
(this is, of course, a rhetorical question. we all know that those people never cared about jews.)

it's kinda weird to see people arguing that megatron isn't a slave and going back and forth and trying to bring up logistics and semantics. you don't have to like him but trying to ignore a huge, canonically part of his character and the reason he started a revolution is erm...
like again don't like him, don't like the decepticons, but claiming a man who was clearly a slave, and has been confirmed as a slave by himself, canon, writers, and other characters is weird and gross.
and the arguments some of you guys use mirror how people try to say that black people or other ethnic groups who had histories of slavery aren't actually slaves. I've seen weird shit like that come up in arguments and in lectures and it's weird.
regardless he is canonically a slave, who had to fight for his own freedom. the decepticon movement was made by a slave who had no choice but to fight against an oppressive regime. all of deception high command was also oppressed at a point which is why they became decepticons.
if you can't take the fact that megatron was a slave and that the decepticon movement started as a form of revolution then the story probably isn't for you.
this isn't to excuse just how badly megatron and the other cons (soundwave and starscream and even shockwave) fucked up at the end and how their movement became oppressive. but the critique is the decepticons wouldn't need to exist if there wasn't an oppressive government - the autobots--existing in the first place.
the fact that slavery literally existed in tf isn't something you should be trying to argue or act like isn't true it should be horrifying and show that autobot society needed to change.
but no go on and be weird and gross and argue how someone who is canonically a slave isn't one because you don't like him.

iris i need to know your fav rarepairs immediately
hi robyn !!
HA so this question is hard cause I’m a huge multishipper and fall in love w pairings reallll quick so you could basically name any pairing and… I’d be into it, but I’m gonna try and keep it short (or my definition of it at least)
Mauraudeurs era :
Remus/James (my absolute babes the most underrated)
James/Sirius (they shouldn’t be a rare pair ohmygod they’re SOULMATES)
Remus/Regulus (seriously? those introverted book nerds who are done w prongsfoot? need I say more?)
James/Barty (the potential for these two to be UNHINGEDDDD is so so good plus it brings out dark!james which i love—but on that topic I ship James and Barty w pretty much anyone sooo)
James/Narcissa (this proves my theory of me shipping James with everyone but also, it’s not my fault if a friend wrote the hottest fic ever w those two and now I’m brainwashed)
Golden trio era :
Ron/Krum (…this one’s my friends’ fault, they cough cough gently bullied me into writing them and now I’m obsessed)
Ginny/Cho (the way they’re both so powerful, smart and hot and so done w Harry lmao)
Oliver/Marcus (idk how I fell into that one but the flintwood fics out there are so fucking good it’s not even funny)
Blaise/George (yes yes yes I blame ‘here’s looking at you, kid’ but also George and Blaise are both so hot and I ship them w everyone)
Harry/Sirius (I’m a sucker for age gap—and these two! ohmygod the ANGST is amazing??? to rlly hurt myself I like to think of this ship as Harry being so lost and in need of a masculine older figure in a fucked up way and Sirius still mourning James, trying to navigate his feelings towards his best friend and his son, his guilt, the way he’s literally touch starved, probs like Harry… they fuck me istg)
Next gen era (including cross gen):
Harry/Teddy (this one’s like sirry but cuter? there’s more hope? two orphans finding family and love where they can…. and age gap my love)
James Sirius/Teddy (again idk why they’re so good but THE FICS OUT THERE HOLY SHIT)
Draco/Albus Severus (I read ONE 100k long fic abt them and now I’m soooo fucking hooked, they’re both soooo slytherin which makes the dynamic super fun, and petty abt not being Harry Potter lmao)
I have not mentioned my dead dove fave ships for my… protection and peace haha but I have a lot of those too !
So, ahem, there ya go 🤣

Every fucking white star wars fan that thinks they know how to read will be like "Mace Windu represented everything wrong with the Jedi Order and that's why they made him an awful unlikable cunt on purpose" just because he was like, curt with an obnoxious white character once or twice and act crazy when someone points out that that is full frontally racist.
