Maturing In My Masculinity Has Led Me To Realize That My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Was Absolute

seeing nerdcore fan in the depths of tumblr was not something I expected to see today but I'm not mad about it

fuck killing a victorian child by making them listen to hyperpop all you gotta do is make a white tumblr user listen to rap

though a homeschooled boy i may be/i will reblog as a girlie

hold on a sec lemme see something

reblog this post if you are/were a homeschool girlie

Someone hit me with their car and I got isekai'd to a world that's really similar to my old one except in this one my collarbone is mysteriously broken

Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:

Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.

When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.

Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.

Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.

That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.

It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.

And thats why it matters.

And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.

ALL MY LIFE I WANT MONEY AND POWER RESPECT MY MIND NO DIE FROM LEAD SHOWER

My head honestly feels like it's going to explode, so if you never hear from me again, I'm probably dead.

Anyway, can we all agree that Eula's is a S-Tier waifu? She's just- *AAAAAAAAAAA* so cute

No one can look me in the eyes and tell me that she's not at least in the top 3 without blatantly lying. JUST LOOK AT HER!!!

this is something nobody realizes, and yet it's the most devastating truth of human existence.
