#that is an avoidant silence

[rainbowvamp]

I would really like to spend more time talking about how hilarious the conversation Dream and Johanna have is if you know comics lore. Like... I'm obsessed.

[triplecreature]

actually I'm kind of curious about this because it was a huge debate among my peers in my community

Clarifications under the cut:

The poster is in a public space where it is typical for everyday people to post things. It is not someone's private property or possession. Think piece of paper taped to a telephone pole, not sign in a storefront or in someone's yard.

The poster is not protected by law; you are very unlikely to face legal consequences for vandalizing it. Caveat: some peers have argued that it risks being socially consequential because an organization or demographic that you are a part of may be judged as intolerant/oppressive/disruptive/otherwise unpleasant if people witness your actions, and thus advocated against vandalism for fear of damaging your public image.

The poster is not an expensive or personal piece of artwork; it is a mass produced print on letter paper.

You are vehemently opposed to the message displayed on the poster, but it is an opinion that people are free to have in your country.

The 4th option refers to things like intentionally putting your own poster over top of the bad poster or otherwise making the bad poster harder to view; some people argued that targeting the poster for removal is out of line, but posting your own messages is an innocent action that you are well within your right to do (in this context, posters regularly eclipse each other as new ones are posted over top of outdated ones due to limited space)

The poster is part of a campaign; it's not unique. There are many postings of it across the community.

This is all assuming that the offending poster is not old and would typically not be considered fair game for pruning for quite some time, and that it is being specifically targeted for removal because of its message (rather than petty vandalism or because it's obstructive or damaged). E.g., if a poster is advertising an event happening on April 20th, it's typical to prune it after that date but not before.

Of course the situation that prompted the real life debate did involve a specific offending message, but I'm not going to specify what it was for now because I think it'll skew the results as people will just end up voting based on whether they like or dislike that message, which isn't the point of this. For this poll we are assuming that it IS a message that you are very opposed to; you can substitute in your own opinion that you have strong feelings about.

Please reblog for sample size!

Okay here’s the post I talked about from that last reblog!

This also goes beyond ultimatums and conversations - people will twist themselves into knots justifying behaviors and actions all on their own without any input from the important outside source. A misguided sense of noble self-sacrifice when not ever mentioned out loud is just, plainly, unwarranted and stupid. Bearing with something you don’t want to do for another person is not automatically a favor they owe you later down the line, especially if they didn’t know you were doing that. “I went to these things even though I didn’t want to and you don’t even appreciate it even though I never mentioned it” make it make sense!

As someone who does sometimes go to events or do things I don’t necessarily want to do when invited, that’s automatically on me and that’s a choice I make based on my energy levels. A lot of the time I go because I know I don’t want to in the moment but will probably enjoy myself later. Even if I don’t? That’s not on the other person, that’s not a future argument I win. People who make little balance ledgers of this stuff must be exhausted. We have got to stop blaming and trying to hold other people accountable for our sometimes admittedly rough feelings. You need to engage in emotional regulation and own up to your own mistakes that make you feel like shit instead of putting it on others ‘for putting you in the place to make that decision’.

It’s not noble self-sacrifice to remain quiet as discontent bubbles up without communicating it. It’s just boxing with shadows, and you are not going to win.

My toxic trait is that if someone had one of the TTPD songs somehow and they said "do you want to listen to this right now" I would unequivocally say yes without a morsel of guilt or regret... But not a single one of you would know about it

I'm reading Fierce Valor (aka that book about the actual Ron) and so far its been really cool, i have a couple of highlights:

it's so refreshing and amazing that the autors use actual sources for the infos (take notes Ambrose, really my dude wtf)

it's funny how his brother was a military man himself before Ronnie did it (that made me giggle)

he was such a mummy's boy and his sisters seemed to be really nice

he attended this school that had military training on the studying program BUT he chose to wait to be drafted to the war? because he didn't wanted to give up on the money and the desk job??? his dumb taurus side clearly showing here imo

his first marriage came out of nowhere?? And of all people Buck was there????

also its kinda cute how they were basically opposites as Buck was all friendly with the guys gaining respect because he was humble and nice while Ron was all distant but so damn good at his job that he earned the respect

he was suuuuch a trouble maker, my man couldn't take two steps without gossip involved so they switched him from Charlie to Dog just a couple of days before D-Day

i cant believe they gave us Matthew and his glorious hair while this man had a receding hairline in his early 20s

taglist: @mads-weasley and @mutantmanifesto because you both wanted to know how it was hehehe

Yeah I think we should boycott music by HYBE guys. I don't see how you can reason giving money to this company considering its ties to zionism and Israel
