Yes, people do need to take accountability for the partners they choose to date, at least to some extent. And no, this doesn't apply to abusive relationships, that situation is entirely different.

I'm talking about white people who date other white people who are openly racist. I'm talking about "allies" who date other people who are openly homophobic and transphobic. I'm talking about liberal women who date very conservative men. And seeing bigotry as nothing more than a "political issue."

Of course, it's different if your partner lies and actively hides their political views from you. But if your partner is openly voting for people like Trump, openly supporting conservative politicians, openly hating/harming minority groups, then you should leave them. And you should be held accountable if you to choose to stay with someone like that.

#personal #rant #just because i see this a lot #if you stay with someone like this it enables their behavior #oh and this applies to queer people too #because queer people can be shitty and bigoted #i get that many situations are nuanced but i'm talking about people who say that it's okay to date someone despite “political differences”#that excuse completely stops when it comes to human rights

I saw a post that said “Dragon Age discourse walked so that Baldurs Gate 3 discourse could run” and that’s absolutely false. Dragon Age discourse sprinted, foaming at the mouth, so that BG3 discourse could skip happily through a meadow

#that OP clearly wasn’t in the DA fandom when Inquisition came out lmao #people acted like mages were a real life opressed group #don’t even get me started on the discourse around which romance options were justified and which ones meant you were a bigot/abuser/etc #is Astarion existed in Dragon Age people would literallt never stop fighting about him I can tell u that much

When a person belonging to a minority group says or does something bad, you are, of course, free to criticize them. But it still does not give you the right to be a bigot. Noah Schnapp sharing stupid, careless, and uninformed geopolitical opinions deserves to be called out, but it does not mean that you suddenly get to tell him that he should have been gassed by Hitler or killed by anti-Jewish hate groups or terrorists — both things I've read on Twitter and on Tumblr. It does not justify you calling him homophobic or antisemitic slurs.

"But he deserves it!" you argue. First of all, why do you think so? What makes it okay for any person to be given the green signal to get called slurs, or have people advocate for them to get hatecrimed? And more importantly, you are only signaling to your Jewish friends that you are actually capable of antisemitism. Same thing goes with your queer friends, or any friends belonging to a minority group. When you justify one form of bigotry, even to just one person — you justify all forms of bigotry.

So if you find yourself doing any of these, ask yourself why it's so easy to slip into bigoted rhetoric instead of simply focusing your criticism on what a person did/said.

#here's another example: a couple years back many chinese idols made statements supporting the ccp #despite the fact that the ccp was comitting genocide on its muslim population #it was awful and i have stopped supporting any of these idols #but that doesn't mean i could call these idols sinophobic slurs #and when anti-chinese hate crimes because of covid were spiking it didn't mean i could say that these chinese idols deserved to get beat up #because that is a horrible fucking thing to say #noah schnapp #antisemitism #this is probably the last thing i talk about noah bc again people care too much about him #i'm aware i hold a shockingly unpopular opinion lol #a person from x minority doing something disagreeable is not and will never be grounds for you to act bigoted

Something I’ve heard over and over again is that, somehow, trans men having a word to use to mean “the intersection of transphobia and misogyny as they intersect under the lens of transness toward societal masculinity,” or even having that sort of concept harms trans women.

I’ve never heard anyone try to explain how, exactly, except that it takes away attention from transmisogyny—as if trans men must suffer in silence or else we harm our trans sisters, rather than two conversations being able to happen simultaneously about how transness and misogyny intersect for different people depending on societal perceptions of both femininity and masculinity.

#my post #transandrophobia #transmisandry #‘the concept is transmisogynist!’#how so?#do you want us to drop everything because we heard the word ‘transmisogyny’ even though no one can tell us how exactly #we’re being transmisogynistic in order to help us build theory away from biases you could be pointing out #you can just say ‘this is bigotry’ and we have to stop even when no one actually seems to see anything bigoted in it besides that you’ve #heard someone else say that because they heard someone else say it and so on

LU version of the Mulan’s Ancestors argument scene that’s been rattling around in my head for far too long.

#linked universe #linked universe legend #linked universe time #linked universe sky #linked universe warriors #linked universe incorrect quotes #I headcannon a transmasc hyrule and gender-fluid wild and legend and nobody can stop me #also sorry to make Warriors the bigot #he just seemed the most likely to say this out of the chain (subconsciously picked it up from nobles or something)

i know we’re all super jazzed about bi buck, but please for the love of god y’all have got to stop saying “gay panic” and “bi panic”. i know it’s a funny-sounding phrase but it does NOT mean what you think you’re saying

#sorry to be a fucking downer but it needs to stop!!#if you don’t know what im talking about please google it #it’s a violent and bigoted legal defense #to quote my dear friend em: ‘not to be flippant but like. people literally died sharon’#evan buckley #iinryer talk #felt like this should be its own post instead of just adding it to the mental health post

This is not a perfect analogy but I am making it anyway to try to convey what being online has been like for me lately.

Seeing people say "Oh, Jews are fine, I just hate zionists!" is like seeing "Oh, women are fine, I just hate feminists!"

Zionism and feminism are both very broad socio-political movements that have changed focus over time, that ostensibly have some very basic core tenets but you really need to ask the specific person you're talking to how they personally define it to be sure.

Both have been subject to legitimate criticism, and hostile reactionary bullshit. Had waves, sub-movements, splinters, people with damn near opposite views sharing the term and people with seemingly identical views rejecting it.

You can give working, broad definitions like these:

Feminism is the belief that all people should be treated equally regardless of gender, with a focus on women's rights due to systemic oppression.

Zionism is the belief that all peoples have the right to self determination and safety, with a focus on Jewish people finding it in Israel.

You can also give different definitions! Many people give different definitions! Many people also hold these beliefs but use different names for them for various reasons.

There are self-described zionists who are jingoistic, racist, etc, and who attribute those attitudes to their zionism. Just as there are feminists who are misandrist, bio-essentialist, transphobic, homophobic, and so on, who attribute those attitudes to their feminism.

There are also incredibly selfless, compassionate activists working for positive change in the world who consider themselves zionists and feminists.

It has been very jarring to see people, who I respect, uncritically reblogging posts or headlines that use "zionists" as a stand in for "bad people", just as jarring as it would be to see them sharing things that use "feminists" that way. Especially when those posts contain easily debunked conspiracy theories that I know you'd have seen right through if the OP said "Jews" but because they said "zionists" you swallowed it whole.

I am not asking anyone to stop sharing important information, petitions, news articles, resources, and so on. I am asking you to slow down and stop spreading inflammatory language that paints a broad socio-political movement for Jewish self-determination as inherently bad. The same way I would ask you not to spread inflammatory language that paints gender equality & women's liberation as inherently bad.

If the information is important, please look for other, more neutrally worded posts. Or verify the links yourself and make a fresh post! There is no situation online in which the only way to share information must be to spread such language.

#antisemitism #being critical of zionism is not automatically antisemitic #just as criticizing the feminist movement is not inherently misogynistic #but the way a LOT of people have been talking lately...it has been indistinguishable #please slow down #being Jewish in America #and online #I have so many filters and yet I cannot escape this even in fandom spaces #''Jews control the media'' repackaged as ''zionists'' or ''the Israeli government'' has been the one I've seen the most #but there's been some outright blood libel too #and of course the usual banking bullshit #when you accept a term like this as synonymous with ''bad people'' you swallow the lies more easily! you swallow the exaggerations!#you fact check less! you reblog from psyops and bigots who've found keywords!#and it doesn't have to be this way #please stop making it be this way #editing tags to add #zionism #I think I left it off originally to stay out of the tracked tags

Genuinely confused as to how so much of the fandom watched the first 2 CR campaigns and Calamity and yet still ended up in a “Ludinus is right let’s kill all the gods” position. Like it’s baffling to me how much content/context people have just decided to completely forget? We had 2 full campaigns of very positive interactions with the gods and the moment there’s some hypothetical and interesting musing and speculation about their roles in the world from a more disconnected place we’re just throwing that out the window?*

Tbh the number of people who watched episode 4 of Calamity and still saw Asmodeus as sympathetic or having a legitimate point is unsettling to me, but while that’s a related issue it’s not quite the same conversation.

But like legitimately how did we so quickly make a hard turn from “The Stormlord teaches his barbarians to use the power of friendship, he’s a funny kindergarten teacher” memes to…this.

*(This is not, btw a comment on the characters having philosophical debates in-world because I think those are interesting and on-theme for the campaign and are also nearly always concluding with “our personal relationship to individual gods and feelings about them are irrelevant actually, the people trying to destroy them are doing wider harm and are in the wrong and must be stopped.” I’m actually loving the engagement with this by the characters in-universe but the fandom is exhausting me.)

#people stop engaging with all fantasy religion like it’s the same as bigoted evangelical American Christianity challenge #oh also the ‘the gods are colonial invaders’ take is also super weird to me because that’s applying recent human history to what is #basically standard like Greek or Roman creation myth?#like a ton of European pagan lore has a ‘the gods we worship came from afar and tamed the wilds of nature’ narrative #it is a metaphor #cr discourse #legit saw someone this morning confidently posting ‘well Ludinus just is right though!’ and I wanted to close down the whole internet #critical role

Just saw some Free Palestine supporters on the road to my parents’ house and was about to wave at them but then I saw a couple of them holding signs making disgusting antisemitic jokes about Passover. Guys seriously how fucking difficult is it to just. Not do that 😭 You’re really not giving Palestine extra help by making horrible comments and jokes about Jews ffs can you not just promote support for Palestine without bringing hatred for entire minority demographics into it DURING THE TIME OF A RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY. It is remarkably easy to criticise Israel without antisemitism and if you can’t do that then maybe you should stay out of the movement because you’re causing much more harm than good

#It was in such a small town as well where I doubt anyone has ever even met a Jewish person #Like in the city I’d expect some of that cos there’s more people but a tiny Northern town? That’s scary #Makes me so sad when bigots highjack what should be a compassionate movement #I know it must be so scary to be Jewish or Muslim right now and it stresses me out just thinking about it #Like it’s scary being Jewish or Muslim any day of the year but especially with everything going on lately #I’m sad. People make me sad #When will the hatred and violence ever stop fr #Ugh my day’s ruined now someone send me something funny pls #personal #vent #rant #antisemitism #free palestine #free gaza #i/p #protest

You've seen "excluding neurodivergent people is ableist" and now understand "neurodivergency is disability" but now get ready for for this one:

Neurodivergency can be disability but not every single neurodivergency is, actually. Yes, even those who technically could qualify for a diagnosis under the DSM or ICD may consider their neurtype to be beneficial to them, actually. And some neurotypes can be adjacent to the DSM and ICD without actually falling into them!

Neurodivergency can be disabled but in the way all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

The people seeing themselves as more abled for a neurotype that's disabling to you are not your enemies.

Break free of your chains, stop letting the DSM and ICD, the biggest perpetrators of ableism, define us and our communities.

#we're veey much thinking about endogenic systems here. but we're also thinking about left-handed people.#and we're thinking about how “autism is my superpower!” has been used to dismiss people who are disabled by their autism but how #there IS a potential to like. not “reclaim” that as that's not the connotation we're looking for.#there are many ideas that would make sense if they were more inclusive but have been absolutely ruined by aspie supremacists because #bigots ruin EVERYTHING and we need to stop letting them rule over us.#you get what we mean?#that whole saying where the difference between a psychotic and a psychic is like how much they're drowning so to speak.#do you understand? but do you TRULY understand?#trans people used to be pathologized under the DSM too. <3 #“that's not the same” well actually we would like to propose a solution: it is the same actually.

just crawling out of the woodwork to clarify something for a second: if you still post about harry potter, in 2023, after, yknow, Everything. i don’t want you to follow this blog. you will be blocked. doesn’t matter if you think you’re the biggest ally to trans women in the world, propping up the work of a notorious, outspoken terf with the funds to literally morph the politics of the UK into a right wing dumpster fire is a shit move and i don’t want anything to do with you.

#you can’t claim ignorance anymore like. stop it. read a different book!#and before anyone misquotes me or some shit let it be known that this isn’t a ‘all media must be pure’ thing #that’s not what this is about. it’s about continuing to overhype the mediocre work of a notorious bigot. find literally anything else to #enjoy!#okay i’m crawling back in my hole. met me know if you see any good mcr posts that go here mwah

It's time for some harsh truths:

Some of ya'll really need to stop engaging with and supporting that TLT Zionist person and making excuses for their behavior. I don't care how "young" they are, or if someone says they don't have enough info to judge them: the proof is literally all over their blog! Stop being ignorant! They are intermixing fandom content with racism, and sharing reblogs AND their own self-posts REJOICING in the murder of real life people. This isn't about ship wars nonsense, so stop acting like it is. Please be serious.

They (and their alt account) were also permanently banned from r/TheNinthHouse for their behavior. TNH is a subreddit that's banned less than half a dozen people since it's formation!

This fandom is centered on a piece of media about marginalized people, created for marginalized people. We don't need to be platforming someone who thinks genociding some of the most marginalized people on Earth is a good thing...

#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #stop supporting hate #fandom callout #locked tomb #stop genocide #free palastine #stop supporting bigots #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #tamsyn muir #griddlehark #tlt #gideon nav
