RoboRodent posted:There's a lot of native people around here (Canada) who wear Redskins merchandise. I figure it's ironic/reappropriating. That merch is probably going to get super cheap soon. I'd say it might get in demand and collectable among horrible people, but then again they're also all cheapskates who probably already own as much as they can cram into their hoards already.

It's essentially a variant on 'starve the beast'; make social programs weak, underfunded and minimal on purpose so you can claim they're inefficient and gut them, leaving nothing in their place. Under the pretense of trying to shut up those whiny kids and minorities by doing the bare minimum so you can say 'we tried'.

iwentdoodie posted:Metal/punk gigs and other fans probably shaped my willingness to accept and/or just not give a poo poo what others are doing as long as they're not hurting anyone else, as well as sticking up for the outcasts and other fellow weirdos, more than anything else in that 12-19 age period. Incels make a lot more sense considering they're almost universally kids who grew up in the suburbs with neglectful/apathetic/checked out parents who never bothered to get them into extracurricular activities or monitor their mental health and social development, so they ended up raised by unsupervised internet use and unable to access any social events on their own accord without their parents giving them a ride. By the time they reach adulthood, they're effectively feral children all grown up who never figured out fully functional methods of interacting with other human beings, but were given a convenient list of things to blame for their problems, mainly that unlike their fathers they weren't handed success and fulfilment, or at least a steady job and a subservient wife, on a silver platter just for being born white and with a dick.

Hard to say either were maximum racist given they lived literally contemporary with the Holocaust and lynchings and massacres in the US, and as far as we know neither directly participated in them. Also yeah, Lovecraft's entire family dying in asylums probably wasn't a hobby. He was raised as a girl by his aunts apparently.

CharlestheHammer posted:I mean neither of those events really matter to this discussion as it doesn’t take maximum racism to kill people. It actually takes rather little if its systematic I mean, it was an era where people were murdering minorities as a hobby, as a job, and as national policy. Some racist personal writings and themes in sci-fi/fantasy stories are a drop in the bucket in comparison. No one's being made any more racist by Lovecraft's writings. (as said, apparently we have evidence for being made less so) Also a funny thing is the subtext of most Lovecraft stories is that only educated upper-class white anglo men have the hubris to look into various cosmic terrors that all the 'lesser' races have the sense to leave the hell alone.

flavor.flv posted:One time lovecraft was participating in an exquisite corpse style writing collab, and he wrote the character, having suddenly appeared on an alien planet, realizing that he was no longer human, but an alien and going gibberingly insane with horror at being a monster Seems the kinda thing that reads differently nowadays, especially the idea at being in the wrong kind of body that you're comfortable in. In any case, dunking on Lovecraft seems a little redundant given what life already did to him; dying in poverty from being unable to afford lifesaving medical treatment.

Douche Wolf 89 posted:Asking for a tw to avoid being upset in a space you frequent is exactly the right way to use them. I remember when fanart of Lana from Archer was criticised as 'whitewashing' the character, when the artist used the exact same skin tone as she has in the show. Early 2010s Tumblr in general was, from the looks of it, basically mostly sheltered and well-off white people learning exactly one progressive concept, and then picking it up as a weapon to declare war on the world with and trying to beat anyone they saw into submission. There's a reason things got a lot more quiet around the leftist resurgence, and was funny seeing 'intersectionality includes class' apparently result in a shitload of people suddenly no longer using 'intersectionality'.

It really does come down to hating trans people and working absolutely everything backwards from that. They tend to end up being amazingly sexist, homophobic, and racist in the process, currently their big thing is a conspiracy theory book that claims the trans is a plot by Jewish billionaires.

IIRC there was no real downside to that but apparently they'd lived on divine manna for so long they started eating themselves to death. A lot about Jewish lore makes sense when you realise they consider their God to be capable of having a sense of humour.

Nothing age inappropriate, just them clicking when running around doing a thing and becoming friends. Which is to say, a 12 year old can definitely be queer and not have that go weird places. Most of what I've seen of Damien is really funny since on top of being a little rear end in a top hat he's got a bit of girls have cooties going on. Mostly I recall when he's going undercover with Supergirl. Also really funny in the Batman vs TMNT movie. He's exactly the Robin to be interacting with the Turtles.

Another thing with furries is that the actual fursuiters are I'm pretty sure a very small minority, and a lot of people aren't necessarily interested in fursuiting personally or aesthetically. Most of the money goes to commissioning all that porn. (Furries are also pretty overrepresented as reasonably financially secure computer touchers and adjacent) While fursonas can be all over the place, in practice it's like half wolves, half dragons. Having a single 'fursona' also isn't necessarily a thing for everyone.
