this was such a good url im amazed i actually snagged it when i did
Literally if you ever do something like this, or discover a way to get really easy renewable electricity without oil, or you cure a really profitable but devastating disease, you should hide. Get yourself a bodyguard, make sure someone will continue your work if you die. There is no limit to the cruelty of humans. Protect yourself.
when the bourgeoisie speaks negatively of digital media, of the internet, when they flaunt analog over digital, it is largely because digital has become accessible to a larger variety of people, including those who are economically disenfranchised. price of film that has gone up, return to vinyls, is all a part of the reactionary movement which seeks to establish the previous hierarchy of those who had access to cultural capital. and i mean im not saying all people who buy vinyl, or have analog cameras, are a part of the bourgeoisie, but im deeply convinced that the trend itself, and the distinct rejection of digital has started this way.
Scenecore is important to me because before that phase died, I feel like a lot of people were having fun just innocently reposting images of gir blinges and bloody rainbows or whatever, and then usually people saw that others were calling people cringey for just enjoying things and that caused a domino effect of feeling self conscious so it just sort of dwindled down..
I’ve seen so many people call their tweens + early teen years embarrassing just for liking anime or shit and I pretended to be the same but like??? Shit man actually sort of embracing the culture and feeling nostalgic for a change makes me feel that spark of pure unfiltered joy I experienced so many years ago before I became burdened with puberty and life changes. It takes me back and makes me feel safe and cheerful.
Of course there were definitely problems of neurotypicals + romanticizing mental illnesses due to misguided stereotypes, and there truly were people that could be rude and obnoxious, but now I feel like that scenecore is slowly gaining traction we can learn from our past mistakes and create a more cheerful and welcoming community 🌈🌈🌈
tumblr was never really hated for its politics or for “sjws” like internet white boys like to claim. in fact, tumblr has exactly the political environment those people want, because people can say pretty much anything and staff never bans them, even if they’re like, heil-hitlering nazis or p*dophiles. tumblr is just hated because women make up a large part of its userbase
it’s honestly so annoying that the news has latched onto the term “antifa” and have completely managed to separate it from it’s goddamn meaning “antifascist"
and now they pretend it’s a fucking organization when it’s literally just what it says it is. antifascist.
this is exactly what allows them the social acceptance to tweet mugshots of antifascist protestors with their full names.
Here’s a link to the GDC talk mentioned in that last tweet.
EDIT: Note that EmuParadise is still active, but they’ve removed all of their game downloads to avoid legal action against them. A few other rom sites have also been shutdown recently.
associating lesbians solidly and solely with transmisogynist radfems is exactly what said transmisogynist radfems want what are yall fuckin doing
As a lesbian trans woman, THIS. Pay ATTENTION.
Terfs are INVADERS in lesbian spaces. To the point they are literally having to take a move from their fellow fascists and recruit police officers just to be present at lesbian events which are openly welcoming of trans women.
Do not help them by saying that terf and lesbian are synonymous. That’s the line they’ve been trying to push for a long time now, and if you start treating the two as one and the same you are helping terfs. That is not an ally type action. At all. The proper response when they say this is to remind them that they’re not, and especially if you’re a cis/non-trans woman lesbian, PUSH THEM THE FUCK OUT OF OUR SPACES.
