So, I’m absolutely not wading into the Cultural Christianity discourse proper because...I don’t have the energy. But I AM going to toss out an example that is almost completely unexamined: the Latin Alphabet.
In the US, the majority speaks English. English is a Germanic language, and until the 11th Century, a significant fraction of texts were written in Anglo-Saxon Runes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes), the native writing system of English. It was due to the influence of Irish (a bit of irony there) missionaries bringing the Latin Alphabet into England and pushing the Anglo-Saxons to use it.
If you want to see an example of cultural Christianity/Christian hegemon and how it can shove itself onto you whether you mean for it to or not, look at your keyboard. It did this to all the Germanic languages, which are now written in an alphabet created to service Latin, so that people could print the Gospels.

@tikkunolamorgtfo @jessicalprice @didyoumeanxianity @starlightomatic thought you all might find this interesting, at least.

Riath is a lightskin Black person with shoulder length dark coily hair, and dark eyes. Vikki is a Black-coded inhuman character with pale skin and short light curly hair and light eyes. I’m the image, Riath is right side up and Vikki is upside down.
Riath is wearing a white t-shirt over a long sleeved black shirt, gray jean pants with small rips, and white sneakers, as well as a large black cross necklace, two black hairpins, and three small chains on their pants, one of which has a cross hanging off it, dark eye makeup, and a tongue piercing. They are standing right their hands in their pockets. They are have a neutral expression and is sticking their tongue out.

I generally don't idolise online strangers, and do my best to retain a rational and balanced level of distancing myself, knowing very well that content released on the internet is but a carefully edited fraction of who they are as a person or what they actually think. but I just ride so hard for hbomberguy I can't even express it

against my better judgment I am actually mapping the rest of the avatar sokka au based off of what i wrote here, entirely because in this universe, azula does assume the throne (after her father is efficiently and effortlessly cut down before her very eyes) and she and sokka have the funniest avatar-firelord relationship ever.

so what i’m seeing is people still pressed that karlie went to eras. who cares about a vip tent, she got the best view where she was. she went there to support. and they wouldn’t be able say these things to karlie’s face. that’s the tell.
anyways, it’s not healthy carrying and spewing all that hate in the hopes of harming someone or trying to look cool. it’s not just the mediocre laughable insults, but the ones that talk about wanting to e*d someone’s l***. how is that ok or normal?
i’m just burnt out on so much hate in the world and everyone becoming numb to it. and seeing women getting torn down. it’s really sad. there’s plenty of people I really don’t care for but karma will do its own thing to all of us. and hopefully at the end of it, it brings a new perspective.
