I think I figured out why "anti-zionism isn't antisemitism" bothers me so much for something I agree with.
Israeli Jews need a place to go. I feel like a lot of the anti-zionists sharing their opinions forget this fact. We can't just say, "You have to leave Israel, but you can't go anywhere else either." That's a recipe for a new Jewish genocide if I've ever heard one.
With the rise in hate for Israel, a part of Jewish history, and the rise in antisemitism in general, a lot of Jews don't feel safe in their neighborhoods. I've heard many talk about making Aliyah, aka moving to Israel, to be safer. Frankly, I don't feel safe. I live down the road from a place that was shot up less than a decade ago, and now antisemitism is rising.
There are anti-zionists trying to shut down Jewish run businesses. If they can't make their living when they live now, where do you think those businesses are gonna go? Many menorah lightings have been canceled. If they can't celebrate their religion safely, where do you think the Jews in those areas are gonna go?
To them, there's only one possible answer: Israel.
This is where zionism comes from. This is why people move to Israel.
If you're anti-zionist, the best thing you can do for Palestine is be kind to your Jewish neighbors. Make them feel safe and welcome. Because if they don't, they'll go someplace where they do feel safe and welcome: Israel.

while I'm kinda sad that we're not getting any more unhinged omegaverse lore lately, I also do love how Pit Babe decided to just put all of the insane alpha stuff into the first two episodes. they said we're going to open the first episode with a scene explaining that Babe needs to fuck because of his special alpha senses and then we're going to casually mention alpha menopause in episode two. yes, those are the first things you will be experiencing about this show. yes, it's going to be relatively normal after that.
they made sure to scare off everyone that wasn't the target audience and then they gave us all of the wholesome alpha x alpha content and you know what? I respect that.

I'm a little out of the loop
why is there a twitter migration?
my understanding is some quackity fans on twitter have been really awful to other creators and fans because of the current admin issues, particularly the french (and baghera specifically) for speaking out on behalf of the admins as well as brazilian fans (since some brazilian admins came forward, and brazilian fans are supporting baghera and the rest of the french) once again. so some people are moving over, i think both fans being impacted by the harassment & xenophobia as well as quackity fans who don't want to be involved in treating people like that. i'm not super aware of the details myself so this is all i know

JESUS BPP YOU WERE RIGHT ABT VP L BEING THE FALL GUY TO TARGET MHJ
https://x.com/tmikpop/status/1782735648610275429?s=46
But she’s been made the scapegoat and now people will think she made him say this and it won’t matter will it? I doubted it before but looking at everything coming out, it feels like someone has wanted MHJ out of Hybe for a long time. First they tried to use public opinion turning against her with the pedo scandal to do it, but it didn’t work because Hybe supported her. So now they are attacking her from within Hybe itself, using her caustic abrasive narssistic reputation to paint a character profile of a backstabbing greedy SM bitch who wants to pull another 50-50 even though MHJ herself has said in the wake of such glaring failures of both SM and 50-50, its stupid to think she’d attempt the same so soon.
I work in investment banking and this feels like an inside hit job from everything I’ve seen. I don’t really like MHJ, I think she talks too much, but I can’t help but feel what we’re hearing from her is closer to the truth than what leaks from Hybe are saying. Somebody wants her gone.
It’s sad. If she leaves will there be any more top women at Hybe? Nicole left Hybe recently to go to Columbia after almost 7 years as A&R for BigHit, Adora left Hybe after almost 9 years to do her own solo career outside of Hybe. Sometimes i wonder why those women left after all the investment they made into the company, of its because they weren’t given more real support to advance to more independent or autonomous roles. All three women: Min Hee Jin, Adora, and Nicole were hired when Bang PD was in charge, but now that other men are calling shots at Hybe and it’s a more big chaebol corporate structure, all these women are either leaving or in the case of MHJ, attacked and left little choice but to leave.
i know this is giving conspiracy BPP, and i hate it. Maybe I’m projecting my own trauma from work into the situation. But this new VP L statement just triggered it for me. Something about this scandal smells very very wrong. I just hope the outcome for NewJeans is the best one.
***
Your link.
You’ve said a lot. All I’ll respond to is your first question: no it won’t matter what VP L says. It won’t matter unless the suits at HYBE want it to, and so far that looks unlikely.

What I hate about all this is I can't even find the content I want to see here anymore. I hate blocking people that aren't spam bots, but these Twitter stans have tried my patience. Like I'm cool with whatever interpretation, but when I come to a tag that is supposed to be curated with specific takes, that's what I want and expect to see. Not all this tsundere best grape jiujiu meow meow stuff. That's what the general tag is for.
Just because the word canon is in the tag name it doesn't make the take more valid lmao. It's a search category with a passive aggressive name because the people that made it were harassed out of the general tag. They deserved the snark for essentially being kicked out of the character tag. Plus it made it easier to search out novel specific posts, so to me it was a win/win
And I just shake my head at these people trying to "reclaim" the tag and telling the fans that made it to go make a new tag again. Hey Twitter stans, why don't you make your own tag called "actual canon Jiang Cheng" or whatever if it means that much to you. The tag name doesn't automatically make you any more correct or incorrect. Right now all you're doing is ruining people's ability to curate their content.
And really you make yourselves look like idiotic assholes who lack critical thinking skills and try to cover up that fact by harassing the people that inform you of the above, and enticing a mob mentally to try to get your way. (Which given the content of the source material...)

Well after a few years of heavily promoting immigration to Canada, the streets are full of Canadian poor people who were thrown out to make room for immigrants, there are depressed and confused foreigners everywhere who feel cheated (it's not that great here and it's extremely expensive) and the fucking stupid Liberals are losing public support faster than they can import it.
What a fucking farce.
