Pro Sports Would Be Way More Interesting If The Athletes Had To Actually Be From The Area Their Team

“but what about separating the art from the artist” buddy. listen to me. joanne kathleen rowling is relevant for one reason and one reason only—she wrote harry potter. that’s why she’s famous. that is the bedrock of her fucking platform. jk rowling is the harry potter lady and harry potter is the jk rowling guy. this is not the same thing as listening to a song on repeat even though the keyboardist was an asshole, or reading a novel by some dude who sucked ideological shit in the 1800s. jk rowling has a hate platform right now, today, and she sustains it off of harry potter bucks. u will forgive me if i am unwilling to advertise for her

I love Ghost Files because what other paranormal investigation show will have someone fist fighting a ghost

Any other Havers fans really tired of him being called a n@zi

Captain from Ghosts and his damn idle pose

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

A fundamental part of transandrophobia is the fact that its extremely difficult to fit trans men into the categories we have.

We have the categories of "man" and "woman", with men being dominant, in control, and powerful, and women not. These categories have historically been exclusive to cis people, but now we have transfeminism. Trans women are very clearly not a dominant, in control, powerful group in society, and they are women, so its very easy to fit them in to the existing framework. Men are still in power and women still aren't, its just that "women" now includes both women and the cooler women.

But trans men are harder to fit in. In trans-accepting feminism, trans men are accepted as men. But trans men are not a group that is dominant, in control, and powerful in society. We don't have trans men making laws, or being popular newscaster who can sway public opinion. Stories are not written with the "trans male gaze", as trans men are not expected to be the viewer. Trans men are not seen by society at large as especially trustworthy, likable, people that should be listened to.

So, to keep that framework intact, you either have to say that trans men are women and ignore their identity, or you have to say that trans men are men and therefore in power. Neither of these answers are good for trans men, and neither accurately describe trans men's place in society. Because while trans men are affected by misogyny, trans men have experiences of gender and sexual oppression that cis women don't. And nonbinary people, too, are shafted here; nonbinary people aren't a dominant group, but many are not women and many were not assigned female at birth. What do you do with that? (Well, just start lumping them with women, it seems).

This is why I feel the thing we need is a proper restructuring of how we view gendered oppression. We are trying to operate trans existence through cis technology. Right now, in trans-affirming feminism, it seems that if you experience some sort of gendered oppression, you are seen as a de facto woman until you can't be. Cissexism and binarism is still dominating our perspectives, even when we are "trans-affirming", because we are still unwilling to change our framework to adjust for trans experiences.

Au we’re Numa is force sensitive and after the 212th visit Rayloth they take her to the temple and they just kinda adopt her

Hey, my Ghosts Drive now includes the special features from the S1 DVD (like Robin’s library tour) and it’s thanks to @m0ose-idiot!

im back with the tony hatred so let’s review all the ways he’s been an asshole to literally EVERY avenger, in chronological order:

his missiles killed wanda’s parents (and countless other parents but apparently filial revenge is only justified for himself)

treated nat like shit in im2

joked about taking over thor’s home & forcing the women to sleep with him (AoU tony they could never make me like you)

strong-armed bruce into helping him build a murderous A.I.

his robots killed wanda’s brother

forced the rest of the team to take responsibility for the repercussions of HIS A.I.

hey remember how he forced bruce to help him build a murderbot? now he’s gonna be friends with ross, the guy who wanted to turn bruce into a U.S. government weapon!

had steve & sam arrested for breaking a law that tony himself proceeded to break the next day

ordered vision to shoot sam out of the sky and then shot him in the chest at point-blank range

snitched to ross about clint’s family (he was explicitly told not to involve them)

ghosted half the team for THREE YEARS and then yelled at steve for not following him into literal space at the drop of a hat

and that’s not even counting the manipulative behavior towards peter & straight-up refusal to acknowledge his father’s role in bucky’s torture. oh also since sokovia was his fault, everything that zemo did in civil war was ALSO his fault! t’challa & bucky deserved to absolutely kick his loser ass for all the pain his actions caused them!

I'm sure someone else has probably already uploaded series 4 but I'm still going to put it in my Mega folder
