Disabled people: *Talk about ableist micro aggressions.*

Ableist leftists: That’s not ableist! Why don’t you talk about real ableism!

Disabled people: *Talk about eugenics.*

Ableist leftists: It not eugenics, it’s rational! How dare you call me a eugenicist!

Reblogging because I have lost followers in the past for being anti engenics and have recently got an influx of followers.

My header is, “Fuck Your Ableism.” If you clutch your pearls over a disabled person saying ableism and eugenics are horrid, you know where the door is.

"Why is this in the critical tags? It's not even critcism!!!"

Well y'see we can't post something even slightly negative or exactly with the fandom's views without being harassed with "get this shit out of the fandom tags" so we just use the critical tags :P

The most depressing thing about "Get this shit out of fandom tags" in regards to criticism or whatever is it implies anything that isn't absolutely 100% positive towards the media and aligned with the general fandom consensus all the time doesn't deserve to be in the fandom, even though being fairly critical of what you consume and being exposed to different views is important

imagine being an adult in 2024 and deciding that someone's specific transgender identity, rather than their actions and beliefs, is what determines whether someone is inherently your mortal enemy who wants to violently murder you and everyone who shares your specific, personally accepted transgender identity, or is your inherently good perfect pure never has done anything wrong ally who will never hurt you or anyone else.

I have a drafted post about my anger for a community of people who rightfully hate a YouTuber I used to love to watch. One who brought me great comfort as a kid and I thought was really cool. Lots of kids like this YTer, who is mostly a progressive person, and who has a largely progressive audience.

Because while the YTer is known to be bad and the community against the YTer is not as bad as the YTer themself, that is such a low bar. They have no decency and most of them care more about hating this one person than doing anything good. And I know this because they refuse to do better.

Asking them to not be racist, ableist, or queermisic is just too much for them.

And they keep hounding this YTer for things that do not matter, while at the same time, they are okay with a lot of the genuinely concerning things the YTer in question has done, as long as it comes from someone they like, even when the thing in question is worse!

I want to rip their fucking heads off with my words just to get it out of my system but I don't know that I really want to be involved with their fucking drama. Because it is endless.

It's not like they would listen no matter how nicely I put it. And I have no reason to be nice about it. And me being nice would not stop them from targeting me directly with their bullshit. And most importantly, I know they would never listen. Because they never have.

They were like that when I was a kid, and that is why I did not know until years later how bad the YTer is. Sure, as an adult, I can look past the messager to see if there is any truth to what they are saying. But as a kid, why would I listen to a bunch of hypocritical bigots who clearly hate someone for petty reasons?

Kids and many adults who like this YTer are going to be instantly put off by the people spreading the word about this YTer, because they are still openly terrible.

So they are openly bad people and are shooting themselves in the foot by being so. But they say they are good people who just want to warn others about a dangerous person.

Seeing how they act hurts me more than the fact that someone I looked up to at the most difficult time in my life is a genuinely dangerous person. But maybe this vent will work in place of my draft.

Either way, fuck all of these shitheads.

I deleted the draft. I don't need the shit posting it would bring.

I made the mistake of checking in on these people. I found some of these complaints have been explicitly brought to their attention by both said YTer themself and one of, if not the biggest victims of this YTer.

The YTer said that the pettiest proves that their critics don't care and are lying about them. While the victim said that the pettiness lets the YTer get away with actual bad shit because they can always point to the petty shit and say, "See? They are lying because they hate me for no good reason."

-And the community against this YTer is still doubling down!

Ableism, racism, and queermisia are all okay, hell, even some abuse is okay if the right person does it, but don't you dare suggest that they have the wrong priorities!/S

Being better than a known predator is a low fucking bar and clearing it does not make you a good person.

Fuck all of you.

when Trump says "no restrictions on Israel" this is bad because and will definitely make Israel go into war crime overdrive (unlike what is happening today) but when Harris says "no restrictions on Israel" this is good because behind the scenes they're actually keeping Netanyahu on a tight leash to make sure he doesn't do his worst.

we are not QAnon-like at all, what do you mean?

when Mike Huckabee says "there's no such thing as a West Bank, only Judea and Samaria", then he does it in a nefarious, evil way, but when Bill Clinton says "there's no such thing as a West Bank, only Judea and Samaria", he does it in a nice, benevolent way.

Weird that Oklahoma, famously full of Reservations for our indigenous population, is doing bad in education, healthcare, quality of life, and poverty.

Weird that it went red when, like a lot of states that have a lot of Natives, it has laws that make it harder for indigenous people to vote. Like how you can't register to vote if you don't have an address the Post Office delivers to, PO Boxes don't count, but also there are laws that say you can't get US mail delivered on the Rez and have to have a PO Box.

It's almost like there are systematic reasons for places with large populations of PoC often look more conservative than they really are.

Gerrymandering, voting and ID restrictions that make it hard to register to vote, few polling places that have been purposely given not enough machines, carceral rates to strip voting rights, and other factors I can't think of right now because I'm so angry at this kind of smug self-congratulating othering bullshit all play into why this happens. No one wants to be last in education and first in poverty.

Additionally there is a significant size difference between these two states and their population densities are very different. Massachusetts has 7,001,399 people in 10,554 square miles. Oklahoma has 4,053,824 in 69,899 square miles. I wonder how population density affects availability of resources. I wonder how many of those red counties have fewer than 100 people in them.

But, honestly, it's mostly the blatant racism in this post that's pissing me off.

on the left, there is the oklahoma voting districts all in red over that sitting dog meme, with points below: 44th in education, 49th in healthcare, 44th in quality of life, 50th in test scores, top ten worst poverty.

on the right, there is the masschusets voting districts all in blue over the very muscly dog meme, with points below: 1st in education, 2nd in healthcare, 1st in quality of life, 1st in test scores, top ten least poverty

oh my fuckin gods there are people in the notes of that post pretending that Native Americans are not actually disenfranchised from voting because um. some of them did vote and voted Republican.

and one person drove past a reservation sometimes and saw Trump signs.

so that means they're not disenfranchised at all.

sarcasm: because as we all know, Trump supporters *never* go out and stick Trump signs on other people's property, *ever*, and if a few people from a group facing genocide can vote, that means they all can!!!! and you're the *real* racist for talking about how they're systemically oppressed!!!!!

"The problem with trying to be historically accurate, is that history doesn't care"

So much of the time we think of historical cultures as being very uniform, but people have always been weird, and our expectations of past behaviour don't always match the reality!

there are only two genders btw. people who are alive and people who are fucking dead

Really silly when people get upset about people including kink in DNI because well as an active kink community member….shouldn’t people be allowed to say no?

I have some accounts I don’t like kink interaction on as thats where I go when Im struggling with hypersexuality and trying to avoid triggers.

That is considered reasonable to most but like I don’t explain that. The same way if I had a cute animals blog I’d ask that people who have blogs dedicated to my Trigger Animal DNI.

It’s not because I think Triggering Thing is evil -just it’s triggering?

DNIs are “evil people lists” they’re just boundaries- sometimes they’re for ethics reasons of course but sometimes they just are.
