i think we should do this again

Our entire government might be a depressingly bad joke, but I do find it hilarious that a common nickname for the head fascist (de jure, if not de facto) and recent presidential candidate of our far-right populist hick party, Jussi 'Master' Halla-aho, who is also currently and unfortunately the Speaker of the Parliament ("puhemies" in Finnish) is 'Vihapuhemies' = 'Hate Speech Man'.

Not an empty title, either: dude has been convicted of incitement of ethnic or racial hatred as well as breach of sanctity of religion for his rabid racism and islamophobia. He's charmingly also flirted with the idea of Holocaust denial by calling discussion about the Holocaust 'holohölinä', or, loosely translated, 'holo-babble'.

Lovely guy. Really happy 19% of Finns voted for him to be our president.

I can't fucking believe the commentary box is debating that Lewis should've left more space, this can't be happening, they can't be this stupidly biased

Twitter is still a hellhole so I’m back to my new favorite hellhole

I found out about some serious drama going on during pride month. Someone in my town was really unhappy about pride, and threw a fit about it apparently. Small town, they had a slight bit of power and it went to their head. Anyway, first of all... pride is forever, so she didn't even succeed. Second of all, I HAD NO IDEA WE HAVE PRIDE IN THIS TOWN?? Small town living truly went over my head bcus I had no idea any of this was happening, or I would have been participating 🙃 sad. Maybe next year (help me manifest that I am not even living here by then, I fucking hate it here.)

In the meantime, how do I find queer people? Apparently there's a lot of us here, and I had no clue. Guess I better check Facebook :/

hahaha

why am i still here

genshin impact is the bane of my existence [plays it for 5 hours straight]

this is somewhat of a vent post & something i said i would not do again but has been plaguing me enough that i think getting it out might feel better. so. has anydoggy else been. Baffled and upset by nora sakavic’s refusal to speak on how terribly aftg has treated its characters of color? with the author of the series coming back with a new book and starting up on her online activity again, and questions of what she’d change about aftg bubbling up, it’s particularly glaring to me that we are all playing this very long game of pretend where we ignore how badly the non-white cast has been treated & her lack of thoughts on it

and i understand not wanting to bring up nicky and thea because people pick on her for it. i’m not trying to discredit nora sakavic’s terrible history of getting harrassed online by aftg fans. but i think it is very cynical, and it is very juvenile, and most of all very cruel, that she gets to ignore the very real ways the books have set up these characters to be hated. i think it’s obvious why the characters who get the most hate are the only canonical characters of color, and i think we do not get to treat this like a deliberate decision on the fandom’s part when the books have put these same characters in degrading and embarrassing and terrible positions in the first place. aftg is not a story about nice characters with clean pasts, but there is a very specific nastiness to the only characters of color being a brown man who sexually harasses and later assaults the main character, a black woman whose only scene is her lashing out at her love interest after being ignored for the first two books, and the japanese villain who gets maybe two lines of complexity before he goes back to being a terrible person. the white cast, in comparison, while not at all free from flaws, are never shown to commit mindless evil; all of their actions are ultimately justified. the book goes out of its way to give them concession after concession. we know exactly who to side with, because aftg tells us who these people are. does nicky’s assault ever get addressed in the books? does riko’s reasoning to be the way that he is ever gets more than briefly aluded to? is thea reserved even a shred of humanity or grace in her one scene?

anyway. it’s been years of talking about this and the fandom has been constantly hostile to criticism in this regard, and more recently any criticism at all, and it’s Grating to be on the other side of this discussion. it’s exhausting to know that in ten years we do not get even an acknowledgment besides the author saying she will not answer questions about nicky and thea anymore. it’s upsetting and it’s ugly and i wish no one had to talk about this again, but we do because what i thought was common sense has been washed away by a sudden influx of no-nuance adoration for the trilogy. basically i hope we all explode

two hours later edit: you're allowed to reblog this! sorry about the confusion
