I’m not trying to turn your kids trans; that’s stupid. I’m trying to turn them into socialists.
i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy

It all seems stupid, but then you must ask, after all is said and done, who is going to benefit from all of this?
We now live in an era of disaster capitalism. Where economic disaster is a feature, not a bug.
Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but…
1) The customer is always wrong
2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong
There are gonna be people who won't like hearing this but if you want to live in a world where mixed marriages, families, and adoptions (particularly POC adopting outside their "race") aren't maligned and discriminated against, then you have got to get more chill about seeing someone partaking in something cultural that you don't think fits the "race" you perceive them as.
It's a vague memory now, it was a vague memory even at the time I made this post, but I think what sparked this was remembering stupid comments I saw about a Chinese-American cookbook that were complaining about it being written by a white woman and then I looked the white woman up and the briefest research showed she was adopted as a child into a Chinese-American family and just....
*pinches nose*
Fellas, is it cultural appropriation to inherit your family's culture but you don't pass the blood quantum test?
All of you are literally just racist. You've come full-circle. You're working under the belief that people are supposed to "keep to their own kind" and that means the socially invented concept of "race", and "race mixing" of any sort is unnatural.
Putting this in a separate reblog because it involves fictional media but it was still implying a messed up worldview....
This reminded me of a post I saw about someone theorizing what MCU Morgan Stark's middle name was because we just knew her middle initial was "H" and they considered that the namesake might be Yinsen Ho but they didn't want to believe that because it would be, quote, "cultural appropriation".
Cultural appropriation. To name your child after someone you personally knew and was very important to you.
Don't you know it's unnatural for someone of a different race to be important to you? The races are not supposed to mix!
It's literally just racism. Why do people think they're being anti-racist activists by being some of the highest level of racist?
Yeah this trend has been gaining strength for years of "the races shouldn't mix (but in a Marx honoring way)" and it's seriously fuckin concerning.
I wish everyone who was ever into knock down drag out fandom fights would direct all that energy towards their city council, I feel like that would transform society overnight.
like. You know how if you keep tabs on council meetings and your councilor says something dumb as hell and you not only get to call them on it, but grab all your friends to dogpile them??? and if you do it enough you can actually find a replacement for them who won’t say as much dumb shit and will actually allocate funds for the unhoused and pressure the police chief to stop lying? wayyyyyy more fun than going uncorked at some teenage rando with an untagged incest ship.
one time i was at a city council meeting where the chief of police and the mayor got into a screaming match, because the mayor had picked up and thrown out trash in someone's yard (an open, half-empty bottle of antifreeze (poisonous) that had been sitting out for months and it was now July) and the chief of police arrested him for trespassing and theft, and the mayor had to bail himself out of jail in order to attend the city council meeting.
You want drama? You want fic inspiration? You want to have an immediate impact on the world? local politics is your answer
