Why Is This Actually Sad Af 😭

karen wilson in every episode ↳ 2.05 — awful people

okay december starts tomorrow. we, as a fandom, are not going to impose christianity upon edward teach. edward teach who, in canon, is NOT christian (he refers to "their god" in talking about the spanish). edward teach who is played by a jewish indigenous man.

we are not going to put him in christmas sweaters. we are not going to depict him as santa claus. we are going to spare him from further colonialism. we are going to keep the fandom a welcoming place for jewish fans and indigenous fans this winter. we are going to be cool about this, right?

happy sugimoto day🎂💛

LMAOO 😭 y'all i promise you it is 🙏 me and my sister didn't get along as children but now that we are grown and are actually mature and not stupid ass kids and teenagers get along just fine.

Also in Italian culture insults are just not that deep like at all? If you go in town for like 5 minutes you'll get called 5 insults, it just is not as deep as in American (I'm guessing) culture i guess, neither me nor my sister ever actually took anything to heart cuz insults and cussing is just straight up normal here.

This whole Sansa vs Arya shit always makes me laugh, "Sansa bullied Arya" bruh my sister used to call me a fucking whale and i used to make fun of her teeth cuz she had kind bunny like front teeth it's normal for CHILDREN who are also SIBLINGS to make fun of each other "Uuuh but Jeyne Poole also made fun of Arya" I'm a younger sibling my sister and her friend did not want me around when they were together and would usually tease me to make me leave because guess what? They were children that did not want a random ass kid in their business (and they were older than both Sansa and Jeyne). Arya teases and makes fun of Sansa too y'all i promise you that shit ain't that deep, we literally know that they love and care deeply for each so this whole rivalry y'all got going on needs to stop cuz it's getting embarrassing this girls are between the ages of like 8-11 please stop trying to make them out to be bad people, they are children and children are selfish and assholes sometimes doesn't mean they're evil

“Shihoko Fujiwara runs Lighthouse, a nonprofit for exploited children. She told CNN she once worked on a case where a predator used a cartoon to convince a child that sex abuse was normal. “So the pedophiles might bring the animation and say ‘this is how you practice with adults,’” she said.

Child abuse in Japan

While no link has been made between anime, manga and child abuse, Japan is facing a “serious” child abuse problem, according to a White Paper issued by the National Police Agency in March.

The paper said the number of child abuse victims jumped 20% between 2011 and 2012, and the number of victims, arrests and cases are at their highest levels since they started compiling statistics in 1999.

At the same time, the number of cleared child pornography crime cases rose to 1,596, the highest ever recorded, the paper said. Most – 85% – were Internet-related. The figures inspired the U.S. State Department to label Japan as an “international hub” for producing and trafficking child pornography.

The U.S. report noted that no national law addresses the “unfettered availability of sexual explicit cartoons, comics and video games, some of which depicted scenes of violent sexual abuse and the rape of children.

It added: ‘While the NPA continued to maintain that no link was established between these animated images and child victimization, other experts suggested children are harmed by a culture that appears to accept child sexual abuse.”

#gee who woulda thought that depicting children in sexual situations would lead to it occurring more in real life

This needs to be fucking slam-dunked in the faces of every single abhorrent and disgusting pedophile and/or pedo-apologist that wants to cry and whine about how fictitious child pornography doesn’t contribute to nor perpetuate CSA just as real footage or photographs of children does; those disgusting clods who insist that fictitious depictions of children in sexual situations doesn’t somehow normalize the idea that sexualizing children is okay, and that it doesn’t ~actually~ harm anyone… as if this form of child pornography exists in a vacuum.

Lolicon and Shotacon are child pornography.  They hurt children in Japan, and most likely children in other various places world-wide where this type of child pornography spreads.  Why?  Because child pornography is child pornography, plain and simple, and every last bit of it is toxic and harmful… and this particular variety only makes it easier for pedophiles to victimize children due to its “appealing” style, so don’t you dare ever say that it’s somehow more acceptable for child pornography to exist and that it’s somehow not harmful - all because it’s DRAWN.

In fantasy, medieval life is depicted as all sexual violence and squalor. It's not that simple

Whenever a fantasy series such as "House of the Dragon" treads deeply into gruesome violence or plain old human exploitation, storytellers like to say it's historically accurate. But while sexual and reproductive violence is somewhat accurate for the medieval age, so are myriad other things that seem to fall off the storyboard when it's time to add authenticity.

“The desire to be ‘accurate’ suddenly disappears when sex isn’t involved and it is actual interesting day to day minutiae,” says Eleanor Janega, a medieval historian who teaches at the London School of Economics. “If the ('Game of Thrones’) world was historically accurate, why isn’t every single noble house or castle absolutely covered by huge gaudy, colourful murals? Why is it that this form of historical accuracy isn’t important, but showing rape as endemic is?”

Other historians point out that, as prurient and gasp-worthy as something like a crude C-section death is, such butchery wasn’t as prevalent as storytellers would have you believe.

“They were very keen on protecting mothers from harm,” medieval history scholar Sara McDougall told Slate.

Texts from the time indicate that such extreme measures would usually be performed on women who had already died – not, as in “House of the Dragon,” a fully awake and alert woman with no clue what was about to happen to her.

[…]

Janega points out that, while medieval times were certainly not overkind to women or anyone else who wasn’t rich, powerful and male, they weren’t the burlesque of suffering we’re so used to seeing on screen.

“'Accuracy’ is always focusing on the distasteful aspects of a society, but never the pleasurable ones,” she says. “(It) somehow always encompasses sexual violence and never things like, for example, the three field system, or fishing weirs. They don’t really show how women other than the nobility are a dynamic part of the medieval workforce. Women are found in pretty much every facet of medieval work: as blacksmiths, running shops, brewing beer, in cloth production, running bath houses or in trading delegations addressing the court.”

The buddie shippers on Twitter might be the most annoying mfs on earth, suddenly Buck can't have a daddy kink?? Can we be serious for five seconds and not be dramatic over the smallest things?

THEY WOULD BE SO SO PROUD OF YOU

Like??? This fandom needs a purge because the racism, misogyny, ablelism and victim blaming is generally getting outta hand

I have a deep hatred for both nagisagi and Kaisagi shippers, i saw how y'all nagisagi were acting back in 2021/2022 towards reo and nagireo fans i'm so glad you're ship is irrelevant af now, i hold grudges. As for Kaisagi fans, a lot of y'all are funny and Kaisagi is an okay ship i get why people would ship it but a lot of y'all are also extreme victim blamers, tell me why i saw multiple post about ness being the abusive one and that he dehumanizes kaiser because he puts him on a pedestal (???), not only that but i saw people saying ness deserved to be abused and somehow it was always a Kaisagi fan saying that shit, some of y'all also have a superiority complex as if Kaisagi won't be just if not more toxic than Kainess, kaiser and isagi getting along while playing football doesn't mean they gaf about each other outside of that context 💀
