Attention JSE Community: Important

PLEASE REBLOG

This will probably blow up in my face, but something needs to be said. Besides, anyone who comes after me for this supports genocide, so. Whatever. Free blocklist if anyone sends me hate anons.

There's a person in the community, who runs a few blogs you may know, which you'll want to block if a) you're Palestinian or b) you wholeheartedly oppose the genocide taking place against them. I'm going to provide context, then list the blogs you'll want to block.

Back in November or so, when I first started reblogging pro-Palestine posts, I as an American wasn't as informed at the time about the war going on as I am now. Like any sensible American, I fully expected that any major media source I'd be given info from would be feeding me propaganda or just lies in general. (I'm right but I digress). As soon as I started reblogging pro-Palestine posts, I got concerned asks from two anonymous Israeli people who were formerly veteran followers of mine (one had been following me for at least 6 years). I thought their concern was reasonable, given I doubted the media sources I'd be most likely to get information from. I offered to let them correct me if I reblogged misinformation, assuming America would lie to me about both sides of the war, because of course I want to ensure I'm not perpetuating misinfo.

Mind you, I only reblogged 3 types of pro-Palestine posts: charity signal boosts, posts BY Palestinians, and videos of actual literal real life footage of proof or interviews about what Israeli forces are doing to Palestine and its people.

The anons I was getting started getting angrier, more aggressive, and guilt-trippy. I'm not sure which post was their last straw, but either the main anon (the one following me 6+ years) or BOTH anons I had previously heard from attacked me in my askbox calling me antisemitic and saying other nasty things because I was supporting Palestine. The main anon guilt-tripped me and straight up claimed Israel is not harming Palestine whatsoever, in other words denying the genocide is happening. Then they unfollowed me. This person owns the blogs I'm going to list to you.

I haven't heard from this main anon or the other one on Tumblr since, however they both were, until recently, also in a JSE Community theorist server I mod in, and recently blew up in there after the server mods declared their support for Palestine. The server owners AND the mods have been getting hate anons from Zionists (presumably the two anons sending multiple asks) for the last few days because of it, just like I did when I kept reblogging pro-Palestine posts.

One of the two anons, I'm unsure which, also owned a blog called @/hamas-is-isis, which is now inactive and/or deleted. You can still block the blog regardless just to be safe. Whichever anon didn't own the blog was reblogging its posts. So both anons supported the blog to say the least.

NOTE: DO NOT INTERACT WITH THESE BLOGS. ONLY BLOCK THEM. THIS POST IS NOT INTENDED TO CAUSE HARASSMENT, ONLY AWARENESS.

The main anon, the one denying the genocide is happening, owns the following blogs, two of which are/were major community blogs (which is why I'm fully expecting this to blow up in my face somehow).

@/theoristsden

@/hug-bot

@/aceofspades-lena (this is the main anon & possibly the owner of @/hamas-is-isis)

I strongly urge anyone who sees this post to block them, because I and at least 6 other people I will not name to avoid them getting harassed further, have witnessed this person being legitimately malicious towards Palestine and the topic of it. Again, they sent me an ask denying that Israel was hurting Palestinian people.

The second anon, the server mods realized today, had previously been sending subtle Islamophobic dogwhistle art in the server. We didn't catch it until after it came out that they're Zionists. Obviously, for any members of the server who see this that may be concerned, the mods have now deleted that art. The following blogs are theirs and I'm urging anyone who sees this to block them too:

@/phantomhunt

@/spacetimesystem

On the spacetimesystem blog, there are other sideblogs they listed in their pinned post if you want to go as far as to block those too.

I won't share it on this post, but the mods of the server I mentioned have screenshot proof of some of the hate anons that have been sent (I don't have any of the ones I got months ago unfortunately), as well as some other things these two have said. We also have a screenshot of the art.

I also want to mention, we found them discussing the idea of making a JSE community space that would "accept them." If you see Discord invites floating around, be wary. You could unknowingly be joining a Zionist-owned, anti-Palestine server.

Absolutely mind-boggling to me that these two would do all this or be this way when the charity that Sean supported for Thankmas this year is helping Palestinians. Not to mention he just straight up doesn't want hateful people in his community at all. But I digress.

Anyway, I urge you to block the blogs I listed. At least one of them is genuinely malicious and has attacked multiple people on anon over voicing support for Palestine. The other made art that implied Palestinians are monsters.

Free Palestine, and stay safe.

And once more: DO NOT INTERACT WITH THE LISTED BLOGS. ONLY BLOCK. I AM NOT MAKING THIS POST LOOKING TO GET ANYONE HARASSED.

..wh..what terrible developments in the Moon Knight show?

oh god, I forget that I can't just queue stuff and expect people to know what I'm talking about

basically! there is rampant antisemitism, especially during episode 5, and I'm sure before too but I'm not jewish so there are things I will miss. in the comics, marc's trauma was from a neo-nazi hate crime. in the show, they switched out his mom to be abusive toward him, completely clearing out a very key part of his character for a very antisemitic trope. they consistently remove anything jewish about him, even throughout the flashbacks - one example being the birthday hat being switched out from a kippah. when they DO show anything, it is brief and extremely hard to miss (the star of david necklace for like, 3 seconds when they first go to cairo). marc was also wearing a kippah for his mother's shiva (which he decides not to go to), threw it on the ground, and then punched it while saying "I'm sorry". the director also shrugged off concerns about his decision to cast a non-jewish actor.

in regards to marc's DID, which I am more versed in, there are also a few problems. I did give some leeway with the fantastical aspects of the show, but my main problems were again with episode 5, along with how they're handling jake. jake, as of right now, is only shown to be violent and murder-y and while we don't know his motives, that's still An Issue. neither marc or steven know he exists - fine, that can be accurate - but they had a great chance to expand on that and they didn't, especially with regards to the scales. instead, steven is currently down for the count and right after he is left to become stone, the scales balance out, implying that marc needed to fuckin lose his alters before he could become balanced. I also take great issue with the psych ward being their representation of the afterlife, though I could also loosely see that being the case with a singlet.

some of it also just... doesn't make sense. in one of the flashbacks, steven switches in while their mom is yelling and banging on the door, and he starts cleaning his room as if he doesn't hear it??? we're told that steven doesn't remember any of the trauma, but that immediately conflicts with that moment. we then get the argument with steven and marc, where steven is angry that he was "created to be a stress ball", as if marc consciously chose to do that. steven also mentions that he thought he was "the original" - this isn't accurate, there is no "original" because when you're a child, you don't have a fully formed sense of self. it's blatant misinformation in the face of something that's trying to hold itself as the standard of representation.

even without all of this, allegedly the 6th and final episode is shorter than the rest of them, which? doesn't give enough time to wrap everything up neatly??? so I am very concerned that it's all going to be rushed and messed up further because they expect a second season, when that may not be the case

#sal speaks #pls correct me on the first part if anything is wrong #that's just what I've seen thus far #Moon Knight spoilers #antisemitism #sanism #ableism #abuse #<- discussions

Some rules may be amended, but I will post a message on my blog to note the changes.

Thank you for taking the time to read them and I look forward to writing with you.

They are under a read more due to length.

Volt and Harmony’s Zone is a mix of most of the available Sonic Lore (Archie/IDW crossing over with the Games) so they will likely recognize a canon character as one from their world, but unless we have had a discussion before hand, the character will not be part of their world.

Reblogging my art is encouraged.

—WILL BE MARKED AS FREE TO REBLOG

I do not RP with Personal Blogs (If you have an RP side blog, please let me know)

I will not follow an RP blog that looks more like a personal blog than an RP blog (This means that you reblog more OOC or Content that has nothing to do with RP than responses to threads).

NOTE ON REBLOG KARMA:

I will block those that use me as a meme source. Once or twice I can ignore, but when it’s a constant reblogging from me when I pulled from the source without any interaction and I will hard block you.

I also would appreciate if others could reblog promos/aesthetic posts from the source as they clutter up my activity feed that I use for tracking replies I owe.

If you only seemed interested in Shipping without any development, or focus heavily on smut based threads I will not follow you.

TAGGING:

If someone who follows me needs anything specifically tagged, the best way is to send me a private message asking me to do so.

If I am following you, I have read your rules and will try to remember the things that I need to tag for your comfort. I may forget at time, but as above, just send me a private message and I will rectify the situation as soon as I possibly can.

Anything I tag will be done so “______ tw" and place under a read more

—This includes blood, injury, gore (up to and including heavy gore/ultra violence), death. Which can fall under the NSFW category of topics

PLEASE TAG NEON COLORS AND THE GLOWING RED EYE MEME AS ‘EYESTRAIN’ FOR ME. THEY CAUSE ME TO GET MIGRAINES AND A VISUAL SNOW EFFECT WITH MY EYES.

ASKS AND IMS:

Anon is on for the time being, but will be removed should it be abused.

ANY AND ALL ANON HATE WILL BE REPORTED.

IMs are always open for plotting or talking something over Out Of Character. Discord is available as well. You can find that on my Mun page linked below.

I DON’T RP OVER IMS

If you want to continue an ask as a thread, please make a new post and tag me. I will not respond to reblogged asks to continue.

RP blogs may reblog asks that involve our muses if they wish to save the drabble.

THREADS:

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE AN RP AT ANY POINT.

IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF A THREAD, DO NOT REBLOG IT!

I draft all my owed threads as they come in and reply to them in that order, using my queue. If you have a problem with me using my queue for our threads, it might be best if we don’t write with one another.

——QUEUE RUNS FROM 10AM-6PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME.——

If I need to drop a thread, I will send a message

—Note that if a thread has gone unanswered for over a full month’s time, I will consider it dropped. —If you would like to continue the thread after that amount of time, message me so we can discuss it.

I would also appreciate if posts would be trimmed.

—If you are on mobile, let me know and I will trim for you

Please message me if you would like to start a thread.

WRITING STYLE:

I write in MULTIPLE PARAGRAPHS/NOVELLA.

I tend to write 3 or more paragraphs and while I don’t expect you to match length with me as I can sometimes write up to 6 or 7 paragraphs, I do expect more than just a one line response.

I do use some formatting (Indentation, italics, bold, html for language translations) and icons.

I have been known to do the occasional crack thread. I DON’T DO THEM OFTEN.

SHIPPING:

I WILL NOT SHIP WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL NOT DISCLOSE THEIR LEGAL AGE. I am in my 30s and am not comfortable shipping at all with minors.

Blog is Multiship; Meaning that all relationships take place in their own verse parallel to the Main Story.

—The Main Story Line of the blog has Volt as SINGLE. Asks that are sent in that do not specify a ship partner will be answered as such.

I am open to shipping with muses that there is chemistry with, but we must have a fully finished thread before I am willing to discuss anything (or asks turned into finished threads).

—I will not answer asks that are ship based in nature if the muse sending it has not had a full interaction as stated above.

I am also open to the ideas of Poly-Ships as long as BOTH of the other muns agree and there is chemistry between the muses.

When Shipping with me, please remember that Volt and Harmony are a package deal. You can’t ship and plan to only ever interact with Volt.

—Another note is that if Harmony does not get along with your muse, don’t expect Volt to not listen to his daughter.

NSFW:

The furthest into suggestive I will go on THIS blog will be heavy make outs and roaming hands.

Anything further must be taken to my SIDE BLOG.

Learn about the Mun: Here!

If you have read my Rules, please send “And what have you learned today?” into the askbox for a reply that can be used to turn into a greeting thread.

That dude

In case you’re wondering why I am constantly shitposting about my sister’s boyfriend. I can imagine that me talking about my non-existent alcholist coping mechanism is a bit weird for the ones who have no clue what’s going on.

Long story short: I hate my sister’s boyfriend

Why? Well, he cheated within the first two months of their relationship and my sister took him back a month later or something. And honestly, I am still angry about that. I flat out hate him. I’m just constantly filled with anger when he’s around and you know I’ve made pretty clear that I do not like him. The only reason I try to stay neutral is because my sister unfortunately likes him.

*cue me puking*

I’m gonna spare you most of the story but the bottom line is that I do not trust him, I hate him, and my sister is the perfect mix of naivity and no self-respect, so yeah. No wonder they got back together.

A few days ago, I fucking lost it. The dude has been trying to bond with me and even though I’d rather claw my own eyes out than willingly talk to him, I talk back because we both do it for my sister’s sake.

~i literally couldn’t care less about his cheating ass~

But I freaked out. I do not like his jokes. I don’t find it funny to call rap music (tw: slur warning, cause yikies) nigger music. I don’t laugh when he jokes about (tw: antisemitism, yup this is getting worse) driving the train to Auschwitz. I do not appreciate his weird (tw: sexism, yeah man we’re going for it) hypocrisy when it comes to women and relationships. And then on Saturday, he made a shitty comment (tw: fatphobia I’m just absolutely going ballistic here) about my fat Sim and I just lost it.

I gave him a dirty look and muttered that I absolutely fucking hate him. My dad got angry at me for doing it, which made me even more angry. Where was all that anger when he was a fucking dick?

A lot of crying. My sister was upset. I had a full-blown meltdown, admitting that I just do not feel comfortable in my own home with him around, since I can’t let go of all this anger. I also expressed my utter anger at everyone around me, since we can let that dude get away with everything, but I have to just shut up and smile when he’s here.

(I literally yelled towards my dad: “Just treat me like him, dad. Forgive me for what I’ve done. After all, you’ve all forgiven him for worse.”)

Then came the whole part where I couldn’t give less of a crap about hurting his feelings. I am actually more sorry about not being sorry, since on one hand I feel like I should, but on the other hand... lmao burn bitch burn and face the consequences of your actions.

(Was I rude? Definitely. Was I out of line? Probably. Did I hurt his feeling? Not intentionally, but it felt good to do so. Am I sorry? Oh, hell no. To me, these are consequences of his own actions *cough*cheating*couch* and I couldn’t give less of a crap 🤷‍♀️)

So. I knew that he was coming over for a short moment on Boxing Day. I have been preparing myself for it for weeks. I am fully expecting a terrible, disappointing Boxing Day. But hey, let’s just bite my tongue as always for my sister’s sake.

Today, on the 24th, without running it by anyone, my stupid sister announces that she’s also asked that dude to come over on Christmas Day.

Look... ruining Boxing Day? Whatever, I gotta do it. But also ruining Christmas Day, something I’ve been looking forward for ages?

Fuck you.

I fucking couldn’t believe her. She was there during my four hour long meltdown. She saw first hand how much I don’t feel great when he’s here, and she still asks him to come over.

And since my parents didn’t know what was going on and since my sister is an impulsive piece of shit, my parents agreed without fully understanding what they agreed to. Who the fuck changes the plans less than 24 hours than before without consulting anyone? My stupid sister.

She left to go to work and I literally fucking cried with rage at her utter stupidity. Hence all my vague posting and angry shit posting and talking about breaking the liquor cabinet. I am just so fucking angry.

**see this tag for my quality posts and memes**

It’s so paradoxal. On one hand, she is the most caring person ever, up till a point that it’s annoying how she pushes everything aside for others, but the moment when it comes to her needs, she literally doesn’t fucking care about anyone’s plans.

So yeah. Angry mode.

The only relief is the fact that my grandma is coming over for Christmas as well, and due to her old age, she’s lost her filter and she’s become unbearably rude. Normally, I’d be embarrassed, but now I am very much hoping that she’s gonna verbally destroy him all evening long and I’m gonna enjoy every minute of it.

and here's the thing, i don't want to make this whole deal specifically about one person. one popular nonblack jewish blogger said something that was antiblack, deleted it, w/e. people say messed up shit all the time, it's a fact of life, for damn sure none of us myself included is perfect and we all mess up. that's almost beside the point for me at this point.

what happened next is extremely telling though. because in the face of lots and lots of black people, including black jewish people, speaking up about the antiblackness both of the film and of the immediate reaction of "black people are too ignorant to understand how this isn't racist, and also only are reacting like this out of antisemitism & homophobia", the overwhelming response from many jewish bloggers on here has been "yup! black people are just being hateful and antisemitic for calling out racism, y'all need to shut up and listen to jewish people about antisemitism" -- which was in context such an incredibly disingenous derail.

i fully acknowledge that the way in which this has blown up, there have been people who have said antisemitic things in response. but it's a complete and outright fiction that this whole thing began because of black bloggers being antisemitic. that's an after the fact justification of the racist backlash that ensued. this thing began specifically because a number of people were calling black people racist and ignorant for criticising ezra miller & sol guy's short film on the grounds that because miller was jewish, clearly that was the reason we were "attacking" him and not the fact that the film was racist. and then when black people pointed out the antiblackness of the responses, rather than acknowledge that even in any small way someone you like could say something wrong, everyone just doubled down on "clearly black people are bigots, that's the only explanation."

since posting about the harmfulness of the film, i've gotten people in my inbox saying that i'm antisemitic, that i'm goysplaining and speaking over jewish people, that i'm just joining the mob in attacking a jew of color (nevermind that through most all of this, until my most recent post on the matter, my posts were explicitly about the film and not about tikkunolamorgtfo -- but people were still insisting that i was ATTACKING HER literally for voicing a contrary opinion) and i'm not the only one who has gotten this treatment for speaking up. it's extremely transparent how for many people, black jews are only conditionally welcome in jewish community -- the moment we speak up about antiblackness, suddenly people feel as though our jewishness can be revoked, cancelled out because we stepped out of line.

and the thing is, this isn't happening in a vacuum. this is so very far from happening in a vacuum.

it's happening in an environment where jews of color, and especially black jews, are constantly interrogated and questioned as to the validity of our jewishness. where many MANY nonblack jews treat us as though we never really belong anyway. it's happening in an environment where all black jews are assumed to be converts, and where all converts are looked on with suspicion and skepticism, our jewishness conditional and revokable.

it's happening in an environment where this is so regular as to be basically expected by now -- if a black person, jewish or otherwise, speaks up in any way about racism coming from a jewish person or the jewish community as a whole, this pile-on is swift and immediate. i've seen people post talking about black people critiquing racism as a "mob", characterizing our anger as "aggression" and "attacks", and then subsequently accusing black people of antisemitism again for extremely rightfully pointing out the racist stereotypes underlying these characterizations.

it's a repeated pattern, and it's exhausting. i am in no way going to say that there isn't antisemitism in the black community, of course there is. but i'm a freaking loudmouth, i don't shut up basically ever about the things i care about that affect my communities. when black people say some fuckshit about jewish people, i am not quiet about it. and i will say literally unequivocally that i have never in my entire life brought up antisemitism in the black community and been met with the specific type of vitriol that i get if i talk to jewish people about antiblackness.

i have never had black people telling me i'm not one of them anymore, i've never had people acting as though talking about this means that i am no longer black. my attempts to talk about antisemitism don't always GO anywhere; people have been unwilling to listen, have ignored me, have decided i'm just plain wrong, have said other antisemitic things in response, but they do not get vicious and act as though speaking up as a black jew means my blackness is negated.

in contrast, i have never once entered a discussion in online jewish spaces about antiblackness and NOT had these things happen. EVERY TIME i speak up about antiblackness, people will drop in to tell me that i am hateful, antisemitic, don't belong here, etc. every. time.

it's not a coincidence. so many of y'all like to put front and center in your bios that you care about intersectionality, that racists aren't welcome, but those are just buzzwords if this is an expected pattern in the community. throughout all of this, i've only seen a scant handful of nonblack jewish bloggers even reblogging the words of black people (including black jews) in support, and even fewer speaking up for us. the rest have been adding to the chorus of how we're an aggressive, angry mob who only form opinions because of the inherent bigotry of the darkies.

i'm probably speaking into the void by this point -- i'm extremely aware that most of the most visible and popular voices on jumblr have made it pretty clear where they stand on this -- but y'all should really scrutinize the treatment of black jews and why, as a community, we are consistently so quick to listen to anyone except black people on black issues. why the community is so lightning quick to believe the worst about black people, why those opinions are so often put forward in extremely racist stereotyping language. why black jews are so frequently sidelined in jumblr -- trotted out frequently as tokens if nonblack jewish people want a black voice to back them up, demonized if our opinions don't align.

i'd genuinely appreciate it if other jews, especially nonblack jews, could reblog.

II can’t exactly call this getting something off my chest, because it’s something I’ve been wrestling with for years now. But I really need to try and get some of my thoughts about it down. I’m going to put this under a read more because it’s going to be very long. But if you care about my journey with my Jewish heritage, the issues I’ve seen that effect Jews in my life, and how the left fucking fails Jews constantly you can read the rest.

Those of you who followed me on my old blog know that I’m an atheist and actually ran from my Jewish heritage. I wasn’t Bar Mitzvahed, I haven’t gone to temple or a seder in about fifteen years. But in the past little while I’ve begun to explore my Jewish heritage and what that means to me.

I’m still not a religious person, or even a believer, but it is my family, and my background, and that does mean something to me. There’s a rich cultural heritage there. A people who have been through and continue to endure so much. There’s also the whole Israel thing which is for another post (my short version is fuck Israel). But I’ve begun to look back on my life, at the antisemitism I’ve seen, and experienced, and to my shame ignored in a lot of cases.

So I’ve tried to change that, I’ve tried to shut that shit down when I see it. I’ve confronted Nazis, fully ready to fight them, I’ve done by best to get as active as my mental-illness allows me to be. And I’ve tried to be an advocate within my small social circle.

My social circle as you might expect is pretty soundly in the left column. The degrees of how left they go varies. I know socialists, communists, and unfortunately too few anarchists like myself. And a lot of just straight up liberals. But all people who consider themselves progressive and in touch with the struggles of marginalized peoples.

Except they’re all fucking terrible at recognizing antisemitism, and go out of their way to downplay it. None of the examples I’ll be posting are from my friends, both out of concerns for their privacy, and because I don’t so much see them leading this charge as just going along with it.

I don’t know if it’s because the majority of Jews are white, or because there’s this idea that we’ve “solved” Jews. But leftist people just will not stand up for us. Today three different Nazis declared they’re running for Mayor of Toronto. The first response I see when I go looking is this.

That all sounds good, that all sounds correct. Except like three months ago this woman was recommending a book to her fans that included chapters on the Jewish Question. Written by a man who once said "the historical mission of our generation is solving the kike problem" I suppose they could be speaking from their own perspective, that person is clearly a person of colour. But man it sure sounds like that common liberal tactic of replacing the term “nazi” with the term “white nationalist”. Because that way you can talk about how they hate POCs, and you can ignore the Jew thing.

I really started noticing this becoming super common when Charlottesville happened. They were in the streets chanting Nazi slogans, attacking a synagogue, and nobody wanted to talk about antisemitism. But even when they do use the term “nazi” instead of the more generic “white nationalist” you get shit like this.

She lists nine categories of marginalized people nazis target, none of them being Jews. I guess there’s always hope we crack the top ten with that last spot though.

In no way am I saying that the threat nazis pose to these groups is insignificant. They’re in this shit just like we are. But I am saying it sure seems like the left wouldn’t stand up if I was getting stomped on by a group of guys shouting “kike” at me. Maybe they’d save me too if they were also stomping a black guy.

I screenshot these from a forum. What do you think? imgur(.)com/a/VSj3a

This is very eloquently speaking, and I understand all of this person’s points. Which forum is it from?

Can we please still do the WestAllen deserved better tag. I still can’t believe they really pulled that 😭

I’m not the arbiter of trends, promise. I only make the posters and stuff because people ask. If someone wants to do Westallen Deserved Better, I will support and reblog it.

Long ask about WA/OF below, among others:

Part 1: Me again, thanks for answering. I'l probably take a little break from fandom if that’s the only way I can enjoy Barry/Iris being married. do what I gotta do. yk ;) About your other point, in the context of this story at least F is not just a white woman. She’s a Jewish woman, one whose E-X version we saw brutally mistreated. In a story with nzis invading her character (and other jewish characters) should have got more focus, not less.part 2, I was not talking about you when I mentioned the more about x than x stuff, fyi. I think you’ve made your opinion very clear. Was more talking about people who didn’t say/retweet anything (which has so many possible reasons depending on comfort level so I don'blame anyone for not saying anything) but then I see them fire off post after post about this dw like it’s the worst thing in the world, and that does make me shake my head because the comparison of the responses.part 3, Yes, as a black woman Iris should have gotten her say, but a jewish character getting her say and story this crossover was very important to me. Her romance getting focus felt correct in a story with invading nzis. I feel like part of this crossover has really shown how insensitive some people are with regards to antisemitism and see other issues as more important. (me talking generally again, not about you!)Part 4 (fandom general stuff, not wa fandom:) Then there’s people joking about how nzi version Ollie and Kara r still a better couple than K*ramel (which I don’t ship, but come on). Apparently there’s also a ‘funny’ twitter poll about which is worse, OF or nzis, and some r voting for OF. idk who made it, only saw a post about it. That’s vile. We can care about more than 1 thing, yes, but i'v come to to point of shaking my head when I see yet another wa was wronged and its the worst thing evapostpart 5/ sorry for dumping all this on you! It’s one thing when we fight hate for WA/Iris together, but when you’re kind of disappointed in your own fandom it’s hard to give your feelings a place. Crossover aside, I suppose I expected more from people. It was kinda self absorbed decision, but is that a reason to trash the entire character? Sounds too much like how people scream Iris needs to die if she has 1 episode they don’t like her in.part 6/ almost done, promise. The way I see it, there are WA fans that are upset (which I get) and then there are people who hate f and/or of and are using this to hate them more. I can support the former (to a point), but not the latter. Barring some overlap, those people don’t care about WA/Iris and will drop them as soon as they can’t use them anymore (which is exactly what happened last season when they thought OF wasn’t happening anymore).Part 7/ final part! And what gets me is I’ve seen people being immediately super hostile to some of the same of fans that have been defending Iris in the vile stuff that went down against her this season because they understood it with F. (not trying to paint them as saints, bec oh boy are there mean people in their fandom, jikes) but..yk what I’ll stop because I can never fully explain how it makes me feel. Thanks for listening :)

Yeah, fandom can make things worse for you as an individual instead of better a lot of times, so I totally get stepping back. And I agree that it makes sense for Felicity as a Jewish woman to have a central story when the villains are Nzis.

I’m glad the crossover worked for you on that front, and I agree that plenty of people don’t see antisemitism as serious because it’s not something they’ve ever experienced or witnessed.

And, yes, joking about Nzis or OF being worse than them is fucking gross. The account that made that poll is an Arrow fandom troll who has been around for years: @LoveOverwatch on Twtter, btw. Steer clear of them.

I also totally understand what you’re saying about some people aligning themselves with garbage misogynists who have already shat on Iris and will continue to do so next week, just because they’re shitting on a different woman this week. That’s why I try to avoid publicly airing out my hatred of any female character, no matter how much I may dislike her. I never know how much of it is rooted is misogyny or the “there can only be one” mentality, and I don’t want to give a voice to those people.

I am not sure which fans from their fandom have defended Iris from vile stuff, but I trust there are some.

I believe the Flash show was used for ratings. Nearly every character got to shine on their own respective shows, but Barry barely got a few lines in his. I’m glad that Queen Iris got to kick some ass. But the writing for her on Error was OOC to an extent. Now I know what happens when Iris crosses over. I’d rather she stays on the Flash where she gets some respect.

You’re not wrong.

ugh, imagine cheering on some of the same people who treat Iris like trash just because this time it’s directed at something else. smh (not you!)

Yeah, I’m not here for that. I know those POS will be back at it again the second Iris breathes too loudly for their comfort.

Will Barry and Iris ever get a dance scene? The most basic stuff they don’t get. I won’t even ask about a love scene. I question the reasoning behind it all.

There’s definitely a reason to question it, and I hope you direct some of those questions to @gberlanti @flashtvwriters etc.
