I no longer have a taglist as I'm unable to tag more than it seems 5-10 people at a time. I wish this wasn't the case but as of right now, I am retiring my taglist.

By: Brendan O'Neill

Published: May 16, 2023

The chattering classes are mad at Suella Braverman again. What’s she done this time? Brace yourselves: she said racial collective guilt is a bad idea. She said we should not demonise an entire race just because some members of that race did something bad. She said we should never engage in racial shaming. Is there no end to this woman’s nastiness?

I’m old enough to remember when comments like these would have been utterly uncontroversial. When they would have been treated as decent and progressive, in fact. Right-thinking people once railed against the ideology of collective racial punishment, against the ugly idea that the sins of the individual should be visited upon the ethnic group he or she hailed from.

No longer, it seems, judging from the audible intake of breath that greeted Ms Braverman’s insistence that racial shaming has no place in our society. It was at the National Conservatism conference in London that she uttered the incendiary words. White people, she said, should feel no guilt for the crimes committed by white people in the past.

‘White people do not exist in a special state of sin or collective guilt’, she said. ‘Nobody should be blamed for things that happened before they were born’. To my ears, this is as commonsensical as it gets. The idea that white Brits should feel culpable for a vile, cruel practice like slavery that was abolished more than 200 years ago is crazy. It had nothing to do with them.

Braverman’s words will infuriate the identitarian left, however. Because they do buy into the ideology of collective racial guilt. They do think people in the present should self-flagellate for the horrors of the past.

That’s why writers for the Guardian go on about ‘white debt’ – the need for whites to acknowledge and even apologise for British slavery. Why there is pressure on King Charles to say sorry for slavery, despite the fact that he’s never owned a slave. Why articles are published with headlines like ‘How to apologise for slavery’, advising white nations on the right way to repent for historic wrongs.

Under identity politics, white people are expected to beat themselves up for every bad thing done by white people. They’re told to ‘check their white privilege’, to repent for their original sin of racism.

‘White Christians’ must ‘repent of our own prejudices’, as the Archbishop of Canterbury said in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd in 2020. As if every white – including the little old lady who worships in a CofE village church – bears some kind of collective responsibility for that terrible American crime.

And yet we’re expected to believe that Braverman, with her critique of collective racial guilt, is the bad person, while the modish left, with their belief that all white people should do penance for the wrongs of others, are the good people.

There’s a delicious irony here: the right-on activists who damn Braverman as a racist pox on British society behave in a far more racist way than she ever has. Braverman’s articulate stand against the fashionable rehabilitation of racial shaming is anti-racist in the real meaning of that phrase.

Here’s the twist in this tale. The reason some will be bristling at Braverman’s takedown of white guilt is because they like feeling guilty. Confessing their white privilege makes them feel good. In fact, racial self-loathing, bizarrely, has become a shortcut to the moral high ground for the well-connected.

This is the most important thing to understand about white guilt: it’s a moral boast disguised as racial remorse. In checking their privilege, in expressing regret for the crimes of their forefathers, in apologetically saying ‘As a white person’ before their every utterance, the white middle classes are really advertising their heightened moral sensibilities. They’re making a big, noisy display of their superior levels of racial and social awareness.

It looks like they’re saying, ‘Oh God, I’m white, how awful’, but really they’re saying: ‘I am a virtuous person. I am a special person. Behold my righteousness.’

In a sense, white shame is the new white pride. It’s the means through which well-educated white people demonstrate their social superiority to others, to the less racially aware, to the gammon and the chavs.

It provides them with the tingle of moral superiority in relation to black people, too. There’s a saviour complex to these nauseating theatrics of white guilt. Guilt-performing liberals fancy themselves as the therapists of the black community, arrogantly believing that their mawkish, self-serving displays of historic regret will help to fix those allegedly wounded people.

This is the dirty secret of white guilt. It recreates the unequal relationship between whites and blacks, only in this instance the whites are not oppressing black people but rather are delivering them from their sad, broken state by telling them how sorry they are for old white crimes. It is breathtakingly paternalistic.

Hence the discomfort with Braverman’s stinging aside against white guilt. White guilt is the soapbox from which the new elite signals its specialness and builds up its cultural power. They cannot believe an uppity woman like Suella might take it away from them.

Happy New Year!

Something I started back in 2022 and will continue through 2024 is 🔥Sinful Sunday🔥

What is it?

Every Sunday at 9 PM MST I will post a new chapter from one of my WIPS on AO3. They range in fandoms because I am in quite a few, but the currents in rotation include Stranger Things, Marvel MCU, All Spider-Man/Venom variations, Detroit Become Human, Twilight, HP, and The Breakfast Club. You can almost always assume queer/poly dynamics :D

Where will they be posted?

Here on my blog, my AO3, and my ko-fi

How can I follow for updates?

Following my blog and bookmarking the stories you like on AO3 allows you to get notifications when I post a new chapter! I also use the tag #sinful sunday on Tumblr with all my fic posts!

Is Ko-fi/Patreon support necessary for reading these fics?

No, but writing and building my small business are my full-time jobs! Tips, and coffee are kind ways to support my growing passions and assist your neighborhood starving artist <3

*I will be starting a patreon exclusive ART membership soon but reading fics will always be 100% free!

How can I support 100% for free?

Kudos, comments, and interaction! Hearing from y'all is truly what inspires me to write more! The fandom community was the reason I started writing fanfiction and I'm here to stay <3 It's so cool to be a part of something so loved and cherished by people all over the world.

Now that tumblr has polls, voting for your fav fics also helps me see what people are interested in!! It may even help get the fic you're waiting for posted ahead of schedule!

That's it! Thanks for reading!

Love always, Ash/Max

**| Good news! I have a new muse in the world for @singthesongsofsin

Bad news: I have another muse idea.

Good news: I know precisely how he should look!

Bad news: I am not an artist, and the visual is veeeery niche. The rough idea is that he looks like a glass statue mostly full (between neck and shoulder high usually) of water that can change colour.

#*no signal (ooc)#HEY LEVIATHAN YOU COULD HAVE NOT DONE THIS #I didn’t need anotber sin!!!#if I cave and write a bio #he might be chilling with no art

Y’all I have NEWS

As you don’t know bc I never post my own stuff here I’m a writer in my spare time, and I’m pleased to announce that I’m serializing a novella here on Tumblr, as well as on other sites such as AO3 and Wattpad.

Thrice For Our Sins takes place in the fictional small town of Jordan, Ontario and will follow the narrative of a queer kid having to navigate the mess that is the societal cognitive dissonance of the Protestant Christian morality that shaped the society with the narrative many put on of wanting to be more accepting. Will our protagonist see a healthy society that can resolve this cultural contradiction, or will the sacrifices along the way be in vain?

I hope y’all enjoy this as much as I’ve been loving writing it, and by all means share this if you think someone you know will enjoy it.

the Prologue drops on September 22nd

So now with a new Disney film coming out with a "first gay" character, those lists are doing the rounds again and it makes me so irritated seeing McGregor on there. Like yeah, in Beauty & the Beast or Cruella or Onward they were not fleahed out, throw away gay characters, but MacGregor is a Main Character! Who is fleshed out and fully part of the story and he and his relationship with Lily drives it in many parts, and his being gay is actually part of his character rather than just hinted at and argh! People keep writing him off as "ooh, another 1st gay!" But he actually was! And you bet its mostly people whove never seen the film just reacting to the bad faith takes some people put online

A large reason I ended up making this blog (aside from I was hype for the movie even just based on the trailer) is because I knew this would happen and I wanted to create a space where people who actually saw themselves in the character could express how the character and movie as a whole make them happy and they could find positive posts and not be constantly reminded of all the bad faith takes. I don't talk about these bad faith takes a lot for this reason (I have some posts tagged #representation compilation where I discuss all of this) but I whole-heartedly agree with you anon.

a lot of people, me included, were really touched by MacGregor's coming out, saw themselves in his struggles, appreciated what a well-rounded character he is, and I suspect many more people would feel the same if they gave the movie a chance. But unfortunately "disney's 200th first gay character" jokes get more likes so they overshadowed any good feeling anyone might have been having. and I got messages from people who were absolutely crushed by this too. it feels like people are mocking them for seeing themselves in it, shaming them for liking a gay character that was arbitrarily deemed bad by people who never even saw the movie. (there is also a larger conversation to be had about the sense of moral superiority derived from deeming certain portrayals of a minority "bad" and shaming others for enjoying them in an attempt to appear more enlightened when in reality none of this really matters and personal enjoyment of media is not indicative of someone's morality or ability to treat people well and respectfully irl, whereas publicly shaming and mocking people constantly is kinda indicative of a failure on both accounts)

the opinions "we shouldn't have to beg for representation from huge media companies that only care about us when they can profit off us and instead support struggling queer artists' work more" and "a gay character from a huge media company can be someone queer people see themselves in and like watching" can coexist. feeling the second doesn't automatically make someone a bootlicker and thinking the first doesn't mean enjoying an enjoyable thing once in a while makes you a hypocrite.

#jungle cruise #ask #anonymous #macgregor houghton #representation compilation #there is a lot of hypocrisy I see tho where the ppl who think themselves better activists or whatever the hell for shitting on macgregor #and parade the ''big company inherently evil'' argument #are the same who look at other disney properties and love them for various reasons‚ sometimes even representation that isn't even there #and get pissy when people may point out negative aspects and say ppl should let others enjoy things #but they don't see how the same applies to what they're doing #and I'm not joking or exaggerating. it really is the same ppl who arbitrarily choose a disney property to use to show how woke they are #who also like and adore and defend other disney properties.#idk if their hate is a form of compensation for what they feel is some kind of sin committed by liking a disney thing #but either way they should look within themselves and whether this really is the path to queer liberation or just virtue signalling #also a tiny sidenote: the gay character in strange world is the first gay teenager in an animated disney movie #this is a factual statement #it explains in what way this is a different situation than for example gay characters in live action movies or animated tv shows #but people hate reading so they stop after ''first gay'' and think haha millionth first gay character joke

Admittedly I don't know much about nirvana or Kurt Cobain but I feel like it should bother more people that people saw an outspoken feminist who had clearly been having trouble with addiction and his mental health kill himself and immediately went "it's probably because of his BITCH wife"

#suicide is still considered immoral/a sin to most people at this point but people idolize this figure so much they can't handle #the idea he'd so something 'wrong' like commit suicide #like wow way to miss every signal this guy has been sending you for like. a decade #like obviously the main issue here is misogyny but there's definitely something else happening there #i think it's something along the lines of #it's very sad to me #bc courtney love was clearly very distraught over his death and had to go through a trial by media while also raising a fucking child #suicide tw #suicide mention #suicide cw

Kendall Lankford | One of the most helpful books I have ever read was Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by the great Puritan Thomas Brooks. In that book, which is more like a handbook on how to avoid the schemes of hell, Brooks lays out common ways the enemy so quickly entraps us...

Hey, this is the first time ive ever done this, but tumblr won't let me report him for violation of privacy - unwanted sexualization for some reason so maybe someone else will have better luck

They take photos and videos of women in public without their consent specifically fot sexyal purposes. I hope y'all can see the problems with this. They also use terms like teens to describe the people they're filming

Seven Deadly Sins

Lust

DESIGN COMMENTARY

Lust is a hollow being given shape only by the many hands creating their form. A floating red cloth emerges from the back of their hollow head and drifts enticingly in search to confine another being; their desire is destructive, blind, and always seeking another. Their headpiece of hands resembles the sun. Physical connection can provide true warmth but their crown is of a cold and luxurious gold. It does not have the true comfort of the sun, only the shape to signal a misleading intent. Two hands cup the hollow of their head, a constant reach into an unfulfilled void. A row of holden eyes wraps around their neck and adorns their chest; their sight is merely surface level, as cold and detached as their crown. Lust does not have feet that walk the ground due to their desire to never settle for anything. They carry a sword with engraved eyes. I just think swords are cool.
