Effect vs. Affect

I just came up with a fun way to remember when to use effect or affect.

Think about: Affect-ion

You give affection and are thus effected positively.

Affect is the intrusion or the causation and effect is the solution.

The rain affects the garden by watering it. The garden is effected by the rain.

Affect refers to an action that will/is/has interrupted the previous norm. Effect refers to the act of being influenced by something else

Affect is given onto something

Effect is received from something

I hate that no one talks about just how distressing memory loss from adhd actually is. I always see memes that are like “haha I forgot my phone, I don’t remember where my laptop is, etc”, but no one seems to talk about how it can really fuck you up long term to just, not remember things that are completely mundane to non-adhd’ers. The memory loss is, however, so frustrating to us. I cannot physically count how many meltdowns I have had over the sheer mental frustration and torture of not being able to remember seemingly simple things

I've been calling my reps every day and I saw, it might have been your post actually, but I saw a call to demand an end to occupation as opposed to a permanent ceasefire. I'm also seeing other Palestinians still calling for a permanent ceasefire. Today I urged for both, but I wanted to ask if you have time and you think it's worth addressing if you think it splits the target of the demand too much? Thank you so much.

Please do call for a permanent ceasefire!!! The specific bill proposed especially!

Feel free to say that you demand an end to the occupation but please, please, please do still ask for the ceasefire one because that one already has political support.

We can ask for both! We need them to stop killing and displacing the people in Gaza but please also ask for an end to the occupation so that the people in the West Bank aren't harmed either!

There is not a bill (to my knowledge, other than resolution 888) that talks about an end to supporting the occupation, but do still demand an end to it, maybe specifying resolution 888! And an end to the military aid of 14.3 billion dollars to israel!!

I would recommend making different calls tho for each one.

Good shit good shit

Yeah reading’s hard sometimes lmao. Thanks for your understanding and being so chill.

I’m also glad we agree on the important bit <3

@confusledqueer apologizes for not responding sooner, it’s been a busy couple days and—honestly—I forgot for a bit.

Moving on-

Me equating some of the things that anti-Jedi people say to antisemitism and, sometimes, outright Nazi-esque rhetoric is not “wild” or “a stretch,” as you’re implying.

Justification of their genocide, denial that it actually was a genocide, a belief that the genocided party “caused” their own genocide, and a belief that they genocided party were wrong or “led astray” while one person was sent to make things right- (via either making them change their ways or outright destroying them/their culture) -are all things I’ve seen people say about the Jedi…

…but they’re also things that people have actually said about Jews.

Take the example I put in the post of someone denying that the Jedi Purge was actually a genocide, and how—by changing “Jedi” to “Judaism” and “Force-religions” to “Abrahamic Faiths”—it sounds verbatim to Holocaust denial.

Or, as another example, people claiming that the Jedi “kidnapped kids to brainwash them”…don’t you see how that sounds like Blood Libel?

So me pointing out that a lot of stuff anti-Jedi people say sounds like antisemitic rhetoric isn’t a stretch, not when a lot of it sounds verbatim to what people are saying with the rise of antisemitism and stuff they have said in the past.

—————

Now, I’m not Jewish, but it’s not just me, your neighborhood White Girl™️, who’s pointing this stuff out.

Actual Jewish people have pointed out the alarming similarities between anti-Jedi rhetoric and straight up antisemitism. So, if you wanna argue about- “you shouldn’t compare real world discrimination to fictional stuff” -then you should probably take that into account.

Go ahead and try telling Jewish Star Wars fans to stop calling out antisemitic rhetoric in the fandom, I’m sure that’ll go down real well.

I also find it hilarious that you’re telling me to be careful about the rhetoric I use in a thread about how I shouldn’t point out that some of the rhetoric other people spout is basically antisemitism rebranded.

And my point in that post wasn’t- “since this is based off of a real world culture/religion, you can’t criticize it.”

My point was- “since this is based off of a real world culture/religion then you need to be careful about how you criticize it, otherwise you might unconsciously be spouting bigoted beliefs and antisemitic rhetoric because you don’t recognize that that’s what it is because you’re saying it about a fictional culture.”

By all means, I get that some people just don’t like the Jedi, that’s their prerogative and we all have our own tastes.

Criticize them, if you feel like it, but don’t go around spouting rebranded antisemitism to do it. I’m sure you can come up with plenty of things to complain about them for without doing so.

—————

Now, I can understand why you might be worried about the slippery slope from this to shit like actual censorship—which, I think we can all agree, is a bad thing. Or how you might think criticizing this could lead to the whole “fandom purity” debate.

My thing is, it all comes down to does it actually harm people?

Perpetuating harmful stereotypes via saying stuff like the Jewish based characters “steal children,” or “lost their way,” or “they caused/deserved their genocide”—that does cause actual harm.

Think about why the “angry black man” stereotype or the “cheating bisexual” stereotype are bad and people- (rightly) -push back against them. It’s the same thing here.

Shipping a problematic ship, calling a fictional serial killer “babygirl,” writing about dark topics*, headcanoning characters as gay or trans…none of that is actively harming people.

(*obviously when writing about dark topics you should tag appropriately so people can avoid triggers, but that’s another topic for another day)

That’s the difference.

And, for the record, I think letting people spout bigotry just because they’re saying it about something fictional is the more dangerous mindset than calling it out.

“why do you like harry potter aus so much?”

love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality

I think they should cast college aged kids. Ones who have just peaked into adulthood and can work full time but still can play youth!

Again, I’m seeing people asking for Disney to cast teenagers for the Percy Jackson adaptation. The reason why you shouldn’t want this is because kids/teens can only work certain hours on set. So it will slow production. Also you really want teens around the people who were the catalyst of the Me Too movement? So many child and teenage actors detail sexual abuse on sets years later. So yes I do hope they cast full adults.
