character in a movie: Oh no, angry dog, please don’t bite me!

the dog: I’m at work! I’m doing so good at being at work! I’m barking because my handler gave the sign ‘bark’! I am going to get such a good grade in being a dog actor, which is completely possible to achieve, and normal to want! I am doing a great job! I am proud of myself for doing such a great job! I love this, because I’d make it physically impossible to get anything done if I wasn’t enjoying it! I’m barking!

I love seeing dogs and wolves in movies because they’re acting so vicious but also their tails are wagging so hard unless the post-processing guys specifically edited out the tails (which is slightly less obvious but also hilarious in a different way once you spot it).

This is why I love the dog in the original casting of The Thing so damn much. I have never seen an acting dog move with such a deliberate, calm intent. It was like every single motion and gesture this animal made was intentional.

Apparently, according to the behind-the-scenes documentation, this dog was just fuckin like that. Almost never, if at all, looked at the camera crews and production teams. Never excitedly wagged his tail on set no matter how much of a good boy he was being. If he did, it was the same… deliberate motions.

His name was Jed, and even though he’s a dog, he deserves an oscar. He was an exceptionally good boy.

Jed also played the role of White Fang in the 90s Disney film version!

I honestly can’t imagine a better portrayal of a stoic, aloof White Fang, who gradually softens, than Jed.  Good boy.

Why DONT they have awards for animal actors?! They absolutely deserve it!

Hollywood needs awards for best stunt doubles first. Those people literally break their backs to protect the actors. 

In light of all the angry messages in our inbox from those who don’t understand what we’re saying - we, at the Huffington Post, do believe that men should and do have reproductive rights. Unless you can cite HP content that disproves this, we will continue to love you and assume you don’t know what you’re talking about.

You strongly believe in men’s reproductive rights. You’ve just never actually used the phrase before now *EXCEPT* to talk about how they shouldn’t have them… You think I’m fucking with you?

My *ask* from THIS MORNING is the fourth most popular example of the usage of “Men’s reproductive rights” when used in conjunction with “Huffington Post” in the entire decade that HuffPo has been producing content.

Wow…. I mean… just WOW…. I knew it was bad but wow…

(Incidentally, no… men do not have the reproductive rights. Men don’t even have the right to KNOW they’ve reproduced.)

Get fucked HuffPo. We know you’re full of shit.

@huffingtonpost  come out and face the shitstorm!

@huffingtonpost You’ve made your bed, now lie in it.

No one likes you @huffingtonpost

The moment the @huffingtonpost social media intern realized she really stepped in it.

@huffingtonpost we are awaiting your response. I don’t think you, of all people, should tell people that they don’t know what they’re talking about.

@huffingtonpost be like

@huffingtonpost are you guys just going to act like you’re notification tab isn’t bloeing up because of this?

@huffingtonpost I heard you were talking shit.

@huffingtonpost Well you sort of got it right. Men have the reproductive right to pay child support for another mans child and is considered sexist to ask for a paternity test. 

Hey @huffingtonpost you guys going to own up to how shitty you are yet?

Men also havw the right to go to prision because they cant pay child support.

“If men got pregnant would abortion be legal”

What

@huffingtonpost why are you such trash

@huffingtonpost  still waiting for your response xoxo

@huffingtonpost why are you ignoring everyone

@huffingtonpost

jesus, never seen balls so exposed on tumblr

It’s unfair to criticize someone and not give them a chance to do better. So I did. This post is roughly one year old and as such I decided to revisit and perform the exact same “experiment” I did last time.

I waited this long to give @huffingtonpost the benefit of the doubt. To give them a chance to explore the issue, to write new articles, to grow as a company. In the hopes that they would, through word and action, show that they value my rights as a human being. My reproductive rights. Men’s reproductive rights.

…

Oh hey, this is making the rounds again, smash that reblog button!

@huffpost

in honor of two years since this post, i performed the test again in Cap’s stead, and:

shocking

@huffpost we still out here waiting for you to admit you fucked up

By the way, that Buzzfeed News article is about this post.

@huffpost stop being cowards.

This is still my favorite thread.

Tag yourself

Warlock. I'm not a fuckering warlock >:(

Warlocks are cool tho. They get a pet and can have really cool bosses that hire them to do stuff.

Paladin...

Can I be a death knight instead????

You have to break your oath and swear undying loyalty to a powerful force of evil first. 

Maybe you should grow a thicker skin and stop being so triggered.

Wow such a snowflake man smh

#if you’re part of the LGBT you’re queer

What part of “stop trying to force me to adopt labels I don’t want” is so fucking hard for you creepy cultish assholes to understand?

@better-than-buzzfeed-98 hey yeah, I don’t like the term “queer” either. A lot of people are uncomfortable with the term. I’m glad that you want to reclaim it and that the reclamation of it makes you feel empowered, but your empowerment is not my empowerment and I would prefer it not be used for me. I’m not “queer”, I’m bisexual. I’m LGBT. That’s it, full stop. If you can’t accept and respect this, then you are only further dividing a community which doesn’t need to be divided. You don’t hear shit about black people who don’t use the n word or don’t like it used on them, because we can understand and empathize with people who don’t want to reclaim the slur. I don’t understand why that’s so difficult for our community.

A lot of people are uncomfortable with the term

How am I supposed to reclaim it if I have to step on eggshells for snowflakes like @takashi0 ? I don’t care if he’s triggered and his feelings are hurt. He’s a big boy(a big queer boy ; ) )

Why doesn’t he address the stop being a little wimp and get a thicker skin argument?

I’m not “queer”, I’m bisexual. I’m LGBT.

Let me fix that for you : )

“I’m not "queer”, I’m bisexual. I’m LGBT.“

If you’re part of the LGBT you’re queer!!!!!!!!!!!! : D : D

I am not queer. You’re fixing nothing and you cannot force others to reclaim a slur. If you can’t figure out how to reclaim a slur without forcing it on others, that is your problem. No one elses. And if you can’t figure out that if you’re part of the LGBT you get to choose whether you want to use the term queer or not, that is also your problem and no one else’s. You being a nasty person and triggering traumatized people is on you, no matter what excuses about us being "snowflakes” you want to spew.

I am not queer

Don’t make me say it 3 times now!

you cannot force others to reclaim a slur

If it was such a bad slur, you wouldn’t be typing it out verbatim.

If you can’t figure out how to reclaim a slur without forcing it on others, that is your problem

If you can’t figure out how to get over the word queer and not be so offended, that’s your problem : )

It’s your problem you choose to be offended.

How do you function like this? You see the Q in LGBTQ and starting breaking down?

A creative writing BA and this is how you make arguments via writing?

Your argument is people’s feelings get hurt, so don’t say it?

You being a nasty person and triggering traumatized people is on you

Wrong. It’s on them for being a little bitch. Trauma? What the hell are you on about?

… yeah because my extended family using the slur on me is not traumatic. Because people from the south can’t experience trauma related to a word you like. Just acknowledge that you don’t actually care about people and move on, we can all see it already.

“Oh I can’t use a word because people’s feelings would be hurt?” I mean, yeah you probably shouldn’t use a word to describe people after they’ve expressed to you multiple times that the word makes them uncomfortable. Literally no one, not one single person this entire time, has ever said that you cannot use the term to describe yourself or that there’s anything wrong with other people using it (or having it in LGBTQ? Lmao wtf are you on?). Like for someone who wants to talk mad shit about my creative writing degree, you sure lack basic reading comprehension skills. This entire post and “argument” has been people saying “hey maybe don’t use this slur on people who have expressed they don’t wish to reclaim it” and you fragrantly admitting that you a) don’t care about other LGBT people’s trauma and b) don’t actually care about what’s being expressed to you. We’re all just special snowflakes because we don’t agree with you, boo hoo

Get over yourself honestly. You triggering people is on you for being a fucking trash bag of a person. Stop trying to make it everyone else’s problem that you are incapable of empathy.

@better-than-buzzfeed-98​ is not responsible for your feelings/actions dealing with your trauma, that’s on you.

If I went through SA/r*pe, I can’t tell other people to not make jokes about that. I have to work on myself to not throw a fit like you are rn and not be trigged. I’m sorry the world doesn’t revolve you. 

YOUR TRIGGERS AND REACTIONS ARE ON YOU AND ONLY YOU! OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT RESPONSBILE FOR THAT!

I mean, yeah you probably shouldn’t use a word to describe people after they’ve expressed to you multiple times that the word makes them uncomfortable

People could just stop being little bitches. Where’s the line? Never say anything that could anything offend anyone ever? Maybe use your writing skills to do explain that and actually make an argument lol. 

If someone is triggered by the color blue, should all of society get rid of blue and make the sky yellow? We wouldn’t want to trigger people : ( So by your logic we should.

(or having it in LGBTQ? Lmao wtf are you on?).

I think he’s trying to say that if you’re triggered by being called queer(which  @takashi0 is btw : D), you’re in a world of hurt if you see LBGTQ. God help you.

We’re all just special snowflakes because we don’t agree with you, boo hoo

I couldn’t have said it better myself! Glad we agree!

Get over yourself honestly.

I think the people arguing for the right to be offended like you and takashio need to do that first. This argument is you arguing the right to have a paper thin skin instead of toughing up a bit.

Actually it’s arguing for the right to not be called a slur but I get that you and buzzfeed don’t understand not treating people like shit lmao. This isn’t about moderating my triggers or reactions, this is about not calling people something they have expressed they don’t want to be called. If y'all can’t understand that expecting common human decency is not “being a special snowflake” or “being a little bitch” then like actually that one’s entirely on you. Like I don’t know why y'all need an argument for “don’t treat people like shit”. I feel sorry for the people in your lives honestly, must suck having to deal with people who legitimately just don’t care about anyone else.

If someone kept calling me queer when I asked them not to, I’d be tempted to just start calling them a faggot in response.

If you unironically think this, grow a thicker skin.

Wow! Would a god damn hypocrit.

It’s okay to call people queer when they don’t want you to, but how dare they suggest that it’s okay to call someone a faggot. Right?

Maybe you should just a grow a thicker skin, huh?

At this rate the LGBT community will forever be too busy in-fighting to make progress. 

If an LGBT person still sees queer as a bad word, don’t force it on them. 

I mean…then you asked Cyborg to lead your group and…tell you what to do.

Just sayin.

Also she gets brainwashed again in the season finale and doesn’t break out of it. 

I mean, in a recent update from WotC they said they’re more or less removing racial alignment, languages, and age. Alignment I get, even language to an extent, but removing races having different lifespans is stupid. 

For Autism Acceptance Month, I felt the urge to focus on Quinn’s terrible experience with applied behavior analysis (ABA therapy), which many autistic children were/are subjected to. For Quinn, this lead to masking, self harm, and overwhelming stress growing up. Because of her need to protect Claudette from this abuse, she was finally able to understand that her own autism wasn’t a bad thing and taught her daughter the same.

Misinformed and ablest societies are the reason why autistic people call for acceptance rather than awareness. We don’t need a cure, we need understanding and resources that actually help us rather than those that stigmatize and try to change us. 

Learn more about the history of ABA: https://www.spectrumnews.org/features/deep-dive/controversy-autisms-common-therapy/

ABA is abuse… yes all ABA

Our system is broken.  It is cruel.  It is dehumanizing, degrading, and it’s vile nature is so, so unnecessary.

We need universal healthcare today in America.  We needed it 40 years ago.  It’s cheaper, it’s simpler, it’s more efficient, it’s more effective and it is so, so, so much less cruel than what we have.

Additional sources/references:

Universal Healthcare Cost in America would be cheaper by trillions of dollars

The US has worse life expectancies than socialized healthcare countries

We have worse generalized healthcare results

We have the most expensive care

Our system is so cruel and unique that doctors from other countries literally can’t believe what happens here

I can’t tell you where or how to activate to help solve this.  There are politicians, groups, and activists pushing for this in so many ways.  I can tell you when, though.

Now.

I’m going to say this. Honest to god going to say this,

The medical insurance agency is the number one thing standing between people and health care, and even a GOVERNMENT RUN version would be better, because it would remove the PROFIT REQUIREMENT from the system.

I’m not saying it’d be GOOD, but it would literally be better than the bullshit we have right now.

well, not strictly true. it would change the price equation from “what is the most someone can pay?” to “what is the least we can get away with?”

Come on, have you looked at insurance companies these days?

We’re ALREADY as ‘what’s the least we can get away with’.

let me reframe this: you can either have someone old with their life’s savings told that “you could afford treatment, but we refuse to use resources on you” or someone young told “you can’t afford it.” I hold that both are bad, but for different reasons.

Yes. And both need to be dealt with.

Top 2 are God of War 4 and GTA 5. I like these games, but that’s some normie shit. 

Honestly, this whole thread is kinda sad.

Yeah it is sad that males covet the smallest bits of attention that women get for their looks and not their personal achievements. Maybe men shouldn’t be so mediocre and maybe they should ask for what they want instead of finding a way to blame women for their problems

I don’t know what’s worse. The way you think this is a problem with men, or the way you didn’t think love had anything to do with this.

Kinda like how I see women accuse men of being upset about unrequited love because “they only see their friend as a sex doll” None of them understand that most men seek love and romance and are upset the chance for a love of the lifetime isn’t possible.

It’s easier than actually caring about rejected men’s feelings.

I don’t know how to put this nicely, but men are people with feelings and some of them just want to fall in love too. And some of them just need a pat on the back.

Men and women alike NEED affection and kindness. Sadly, society and media has been telling that men who show emotion are weak, and that they don’t need validation.

They do. We all do

I just watched a Reddit thread on the struggles that men go through, and as much as I knew these, I was hit by all of them at once. I’m going to list down the ones I remember off the top of my head. These aren’t to undermine what’s above. This is just to combine these ideas and really showcase the trend here.

Mental health:

Toxic masculinity

Complimenting other people without seeming creepy

Domestic violence

LGBTQ+

Sexual assault

Just to clear up, feminism = gender equality, and gender equality fights against the effects toxic masculinity (I’ve been blasted on Tumblr for these ideas, but I will say it again because I truly believe respect and trust is a two-way street we haven’t managed to get right quite yet).

Feminism perpetuates many of these ideas (EG saying men should shut up and support women, gendering rape and abuse), and has spent more effort trying to shut up people who talk about men’s issues than actually trying to help men.

Up to and including pulling fire alarms.

On multiple occasions.

For Pete’s sake, a lot of y'all can’t even call men’s issues “sexism” because you reserve it for women, even when you’re supposedly talking about those issues. “The effects of toxic masculinity” is at least two steps away, and it still victim-blames men.

And you felt the strange compulsion to mention women are the main victims of Domestic Violence. Followed by saying men “can” be victims.

Is that because you wanted to maintain the Narrative? Or did you think your watchers would yell at you?

And it’s quite possibly not even true. The police have actual policies in many places that assume the dude is guilty, even if he never hit the woman and called them for help. And before you blame that on ‘toxic masculinity’, feminism itself regularly calls abuse (and even more so rape) “violence against women”, by men, and has supported laws to that effect.

You’d 'imagine’? You didn’t do enough research to know that yes, it absolutely is? The UK - a First World country - says women can’t rape, by law, unless they happen to have a penis.

Why would you opine on something when you’re just guessing? And why with the implication that Women Are The Real Victims, again?

You’re trying to force two incompatible sets of beliefs together, and breaking both in the process.

No lie, a girl told me she liked my hair in 2nd grade and since then I’ve always kept good care of it and saw it as my best feature. 

Men cling to stuff like that cause we so rarely hear it.
