cyborgbutterflies:

I am instantly suspicious of anyone who seems to have fallen for the trend of thinking the stereotypical 90s bully archetype is “cool” somehow.

You may have seen the type. They joke about shoving people in lockers and try to react to everything with either harassment or ironic detachment.

To me, they are a prime example of a kind of toxic and insecure person that tries to gain status by pushing those around them down (which they try to justify by claiming to have better politics than their victims).

People who want to abuse others will never be on my side, no matter who their targets are.

*in seductive voice* do you find my abandonment issues and unstable sense of identity sexy? *strips off clothes* i’m convinced you hate me and i don’t know who i am baby

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Due to the fact that every person irl I’ve met with abandonment issues is an abusive manipulator, posts like these send my alarm bells ringing.

There’s a lot of discussion on this blog about how SJWs tend to fall for shitty representation, tokenism and Strong Female Characters (TM), but are there any books, movies or tv shows out there that you would say have done representation and diversity particularly well?

stopmakingliberalslookbad:

Grey’s Anatomy USED to be this way, until the newly “woke” Krista Vernoff returned to the show. For one, the show employed colorblind casting for the main characters and it just so happened that a diverse crowd was right for the roles. You never saw Shonda Rhimes and the writers making a big deal about how the chief of surgery was black or that Callie was a bisexual Latina. Social issues were done more subtly and didn’t work their way into every single script.

Unfortunately, that all started to change a couple of seasons ago and now that Krista Vernoff is back as showrunner, nearly every show has turned into a Very Special Episode and there’s at least one ham-fisted social justice reference thrown into every episode. They’re all up their own asses because a new character is gay! And ASIAN too! There would have never been so many self-congratulatory articles about this a few years ago. And it’s painfully obvious that they’re continuing to push a certain unpopular, chemistryless pairing for “woke” reasons (and the fact that people are convinced that an actress was fired to make said pairing happen isn’t helping).

WHEW! Sorry for the rant.

Explaining the Class Affinity system to non-Fate fans

celticpyro:

There are seven types of people: swords, archery, spearmen, wizards, cars, ninjas, and angry boys.

Archery can be literally anything. Guns? Slingshots? Swords used as projectiles? Those all count as arrows. Cannons also count as arrows. Sometimes dolphins count as arrows. Anything can be an arrow, really, if you put your mind to it.

Then there are swords. Swords do not count as true swords unless they can shoot deadly laser beams. If they cannot shoot deadly laser beams they are just arrows.

Spears are pretty straightforward: one long stick with a pointy end for stabbing. Spears are capable of surpassing any weapon that isn’t a laser-sword.

Swords beat spears, spears beat arrows, and arrows beat swords.

Then you have your wizards. Wizards can be everything from actual spellcasters to English majors. But somehow they all know magic. Wizards are especially vulnerable to getting run over by cars and therefore must be especially careful when crossoing the street.

“Cars,” of course, covers not just motorized vehicles, but horses, dragons, ships, the sun, and even people. Uber drivers and horse girls of all kinds are known for their ability to run over unsuspecting wizards but must be weary of their natural predators, ninjas.

Ninjas are far too stealthy to be hit by cars but are responsible for many a carjacking. Of course, one need not be a practitioner of ninjitsu to qualify as a ninja – serial killers, spies, samurai, and strippers all count as ninjas and they are all especially at risk of being killed by wizards (and English majors).

Last but not least is your angry boys. “Angry” is something of an overgeneralization as many are in fact not angry. They are however, batshit insane in varying degrees (except for the ones who were already insane but became Angry Boys at which point their insanity was cancelled out). They can easily beat up all six of the above-mentioned classes but will die if you so much as sneeze on them.

there is an easter egg in classic 90′s point-and-click adventure game for 6 year olds, freddi fish and the case of the missing kelp seeds, where if you mess with the game’s .ini files you can watch a fully animated scene of the main character freddi gleefully feeding their best friend to an eel, entrails dripping from its mouth as it does so, and while this sounds like a bad creepypasta it is actually a 100% real actual thing they really actually put in the game

Choosing to avoid politics is a privilege many people don’t have. The country is in crisis. Instead of ignoring the atrocities committed by this administration, please register to vote: turbovote.com. It’s quick and easy.

well put @adamtots

The country is in crisis because nobody will listen to each other. Nobody.

Everybody goes RIGHT into fight mode. Which has forced me into flight mode.

“Choosing to avoid politics is a privilege”

Choosing to spend your entire day screaming about politics on social media and insulting anyone and everyone who doesn’t subscribe to your specific viewpoint as the ultimate evil is the definition of first world problems and a sign that you’re among the most spoiled, privileged shitsacks on the planet earth you self-righteous chodes.

Most people have lives Sharon and don’t have time to think about how drumph is a fascist 24/7
