Because I have enough and I usually don't talk about the anon asks in my inbox or anything that isn't fun on here (for reasons) but I have a limit. And this here is just ugly.

TW: Antisemitism, saying Ukraine is lead by a Zionist (yeah, Jewish people rule the world - got it), rape mention, literal death treats, ect. The list is long. Here we go, those are the highlights from about 100 asks or more, I am going to spare you the holocaust denial.

@anon - You're a clown. An antisemitic clown but you're still a goddamn clown and nothing more. I hope you're aware that I could take this to the police.

Discussing with people who feel the need to talk like this is absolutely senseless but maybe we can show someone else what the problem here is.

This is the problem: Jewish people are currently telling you that your rock icon (R*ger W*ters) on his pedestal is walking on antisemitic terrain and has done so for years. Not the first time Jewish people do so and are disregarded by people who don't know about our struggles or what we face. I told someone today that it's not good to talk over Jewish voices when it mainly concerns us, we might be few (open a history book - antisemitism didn't start during the 1930's) but we still have the right to be heard and to be threated like humans. I said this in a reply to a post and in DMs (which haven't really been answered, neither was I listened to - you can't apologize one billion time for "personal backlash" (......... you mean antisemitic hate death threats which don't have to do anything with me except for me being Jewish? Stop pretending this is "personal backlash") and was literally told, that they aren't talking over Jewish voices (you are - I'm not the first Jewish person pointing his tendecies out) and basically that it was disinformation. You're still talking over me.

So. We established that he used a pig with a Star of David on stage. People already pointed out ten years ago that this is antisemitic and he tried to weasel his way out of it with a half-assed explanation which btw doesn't make it better.

I am aware that Pigs is part of one of his bands concept albums and that they stand for wealthy, cunning people in office. He has said and claimed that it isn't the represent Jewish people. The problem is when you don't want to represent Jewish faith it is easy enough to not use the Star of David. "I have many Jewish friends" is an argument like "I'm not rassist, I have a Black friend", "I'm not a homophobe, I have gay friends". "it is almost inevitable that the symbol of the religion becomes confused with the symbol of the state" - No, you are the one who is confusing it. I have never stepped foot into Israel (while I worked for humanitarian aid in Palestine and Iraq (that's a story in itself) - when these countries where labelled active war zones), but I'm proud of my Jewish heritage. Stop confusing Israeli (government) with Jewish faith. Most Jewish people live outside of Israel. The other problem here is that "Judensau" / "Judenschwein" (Jewish pig) is used as an insult, especially by Nazis and people who are leaning towards antisemitism (you might not know that as a person who's not Jewish but I've heard this enough times growing up), so putting the symbol of Judaism (not goddamn Israel) on a pig isn't the smartest idea by default. In Germany and Europe, in churches and paintings, Jewish people were often depicted as pigs or Jewish people sucking on a sow (I can tell you, not in good faith). Furthermore have Jewish people adjectives like "wealthy", "cunning", "manipulative", "dirty" or that they "secretly run the world" associated with them for millenia. So putting the Star of David into this context is not a smart idea. Not at all, because it's heating up antisemitic rhetorics and resentments. You might not want to be associated with Nazis but I can tell you, Nazis will always be happy to associate themselves with you and they always do, I have seen them leech onto less than this.

He also claimed that the U.S. is being controlled by Jewish Republican donor Sheldon Adelson and described him as a “puppet master” who is “filling the coffers and pulling all the strings” on U.S. policies. Which brings us back to the antisemitic believe that Jewish people run the world. If you think, he said something like this only once, no he did it more than once over the years. (Also more than twice, or three times, honestly I STOPPED counting).

"Waters repeatedly promoted antisemitic conspiracies and themes, including that a nefarious “Israel lobby” prevented the election of Jeremy Corbyn in the UK" - this interview is from this year btw, not ten years ago because you all so fixated on how long some bullshit is ago.

"(Sheldon Adelson) believes that only Jews – only Jewish people – are completely human, that they are attached in some way… everybody else on Earth is there to serve them" - That is a quote out of the interview from this year. He's talking about JEWISH people, not ISRAEL. You get what the problem here is? It doesn't matter that he apologizes anymore, he does it so often, his apologies are fucking worthless at best at this point.

He also implied Israelis / Jewish people are kind of responsible for George Floyds death (yes, Jewish people run the world, it is getting boring)

He called verified reports of Beijing’s enslavement of Uyghur Muslims and massacre of Tibetan Buddhists "absolute nonsense".

I don't know how much bullshit has to come out of one single person that you might think, maybe I shouldn't support this.

All of this leads to another problem. You can always say stuff like "I don't agree with everything this person does", "I don't agree what he said about Ukraine", "I can disagree and agree with some one" (Yes, but you're automatically treating some people as lesser with this view, congratulations. One good thing doesn't make the other things better or excusable). The problem is that there's also other people who will be like "Thank you, but I agree with the view on Jewish people and I think the same on Ukraine" and in a few hours you will have a person under your post that says Ukraine is being lead by a Zionist (yes, Jewish people rule the world, we got it). And then you don't even have the balls to call this out or you think the same, who knows. And people who feel encouraged to send death threats, are denying the shoah, and so much more. This is the problem, if you think it's okay on a small scale, people will use it on a big scale. If you really don't see one problem with any of this, you're the problem, not me.

And for fucks sake: Stop getting on people's nerves who talk to me, are nice to me or reblogged my previous post.

Since we're all talking about the writing in Naruto I thought I could throw in my two cents. I won't be talking about shipping since I don't care enough about it to voice my opinion on any ship. Ship/don't ship whatever you want, just don't harass people over it.

Of course we all know that the war arc is really flawed. It's way too long, has too many characters in it and has so many plot holes and asspulls that it's rediculous. That said, I wouldn't call this arc one of the worst arcs in anime. There's a lot of great stuff in it and I like what Kishimoto was trying to do with it. There's a great arc buried underneath all those flaws. Somewhere. I think... Geez that's a lot of problems.

So... Neji's death. Hoo boy. I'll get right to the point: this death was pretty pointless and also shat on Neji's etire character arc. I'm not just saying this because I'm salty that "a pretty animoo husbando boy got killed." Remember how in the chuunin exams Neji had this whole philosophy about how people can never change their positions and Naruto basically told him to make his own path? Remember how Neji was mad butthurt because he was born into the branch family and was treated like shit and was expected to live and die for the main branch? Yeah he died protecting Hinata, the heiress of the main branch. 

How would I have handled it? I think it would have been good to have Hiashi (Hinata's dad) sacrifice himself to save Neji instead. You know, the spike would be flying towards Hinata, Neji tries to protect her and Hiashi jumps in front of Neji and takes the hit. It would show that the war arc actually has consequences and people can actually die (since you know, this is a war). And it would show that he does care about Neji and the rest of his clan even after he treated them like shit.

And while we're on the topic of Neji's philosophy let's talk about the worst mistake Kishimoto ever made while writing Naruto. No, it's not the plo tholes or ass pulls, not the handling of his cast other than the main two characters, not Kaguya coming in and killing Madara (totally not salty that my favourite character got done dirty), not even the fact that Obito somehow completed the ten tails without Kurama or Gyuki despite the fact that the entire point of the war was to capture them. It's none of that.

The worst thing about this is the fact that he made Naruto and Sasuke the reincarnations of Indra and Asura. It literally said "fuck you" to the entire message of the story. Naruto's message is that whoever you are, no matter what obsicles you face in life, you can become great. And it showed it great in the first few arcs. But now Naruto is literally the reincarnation of a demigod with so many gifts that were given to him. He's one of the most priviliged characters in the entire show right next to Sasuke. And it totally proves Neji's old philosophy rigth.

I know what you're going to say: "he had Kurama and that helped him win every battle he was in." First off, Naruto doesn't use Kurama's help as much as some people think. Secondly, every time Kurama "helped" Naruto was to weaken the seal so he could take over Naruto's body and become free. He only started liking Naruto when he started to befriend him in the war arc. So I don't think Naruto having the nine tails was what made him op and ruined the story.

I could ramble on for longer, but I'll leave it here. There many videos, threads, fanfics, etc that voice their own thoughts on the series and I know you've heard them all before. I might come back to this kind of topic someday, but I think I got most of it out for now.
