i’ll never understand why we don’t call countries the names they actually call themselves
like, i know this is a weeaboo-sounding example, but let’s start with Japan. They call themselves Nippon or Nihon depending on… i guess, the speaker’s accent??? or their level of formality while speaking??? I dunno. But we still called them Zipangu for like a few hundred years. And now we call them Japan.
All because Marco Polo asked someone in China about that island over there and they said “oh that’s Cipangu” and Marco Polo was like “Oh, Zipangu, cool.” And then he went back to Italy and said “Y’ALL THERE’S THIS DOPE-ASS ISLAND CALLED ZIPANGU” and people back in Italy were like “An island called Giappone? Dope.”
And this pattern of people mishearing people kept repeating until we got to “Japan.”
And we still call them Japan even though we know better. Because fuck you, Marco Polo asked the wrong person 500 years ago and misheard them and we’re sticking to that, I guess.
that was literally just the world’s worst game of telephone
reblog this if you want to help tucutes understand that what they’re doing is wrong, you’re in this discourse to try and help them understand that de-transitoning is worse than transitioning, and you don’t want them to go through that, they’re misinformed individuals and you want to try and educate them on things, even if it doesn’t work.
like this if you are in this discourse just because you hate tucutes
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is super fucked up.
Alluding to orgies of school kids aged 15? Normalising cannabalism of murdered school kid, use of human blood in satanic rituals and passing this off under “witchcraft”?
I thought we’d gotten past this, one step forwards, three steps back. You just know it’s some Weinstein-tier perverts that came up with this shit.
Its a show about witches?????? Did you think they’d be super innocent?? and on top of that THEY USED IT TO SHOW HOW FUCKED UP WE ARE AS A SOCIETY NOT CAUSE THIER LOOKING FOR IDIOTS TO CRITIQUE THE SHOW
Remember shows like bewitched, and the original Sabrina, where witches were extremely powerfull but very human and not satanic or cannibalistic?
Also the show is accused of trying to be “woke” and failing hard, like including a nb girl (played by a boy!) whose only character is how “trans” she is and spouting feminism quotes 24/7 without really understanding what they’re saying.
The sabrina cartoon may have been a little cheesy but at least it wasn’t THAT.
