Screaming and violence huh? Gee, wonder where the kid learned that was appropriate.

If your perception of getting a free pass is not applying collective condemnation, not presupposing guilt and taking all indications of innocence as an act to be dismissed, not demanding that everyone vacate the same continent for no other reason than your feelings, not going on bloody pogroms, and generally not treating them as an enemy to be shot dead the moment they say one thing we don’t like and we don’t like anything if it comes out of their mouths…

Buddy, you’ve had a free pass stapled to your forehead since birth and you will do all of the above to anyone that points it out to you. If anyone tries to paint white men with a wide brush for anything the screams of how “under attack” you are will deafen the world.

Meanwhile us white people would be lucky to keep our huts because settled civilization, permanent architectural structures, farmland irrigation, and other basic cornerstones of our society started in Africa while the one big thing the “hands off our stuff, no I don’t care that it used to be yours we conquered you and we’re doing better with it” crowd really relies on, gunpowder, is Chinese. And it’s kind of funny that they probably wouldn’t miss the codification of chemistry and the scientific process which would eventually lead them to develop such things on their own, but yeah they’d have to give that up too as it was an Arabic idea.

At no point has there ever been Bumblebee.

Rooster Teeth would disagree and their RWBY Chibi spinoff works that ship hard, even if mostly for comedic effect to let the fanbase know they do read their fanfics.

Blake has always shown interest in Sun and to think otherwise is asinine

I’m sorry, Blake has always shown interest in the guy who one-sidedly hit on her to her visible annoyance but did the dogged-nice-guy/borderline-stalker thing long enough for her to open up to him as a friend that eventually met the parents?

Met the parents in the same arc and season the chameleon girl Ilya who clearly carried a torch for Blake made evident that torch she was carrying and basically seemed like a repeat of Adam on the same cusp of going evil for one misinterpreted moment of mislaid respect for violent actions and craving further validation but instead of jumping off the slope and living for hate gave real thought to her doubts and confusion while still clinging to an extreme view seeming like a very conspicuous chance for Blake to relive and if not fix a past mistake she blames herself for then at least make peace with where individual decisions drove them apart?

Okay, you’re not just bad at reading signals you’re on the border of “I’m entitled to have you” rationalization on the simple basis of male with most screentime with female. Man, no wonder you seem to identify with Adam.

Edit:

And I’ve just realized two things. 1) Blake attracts a lot of stalkers and 2) I have somehow allowed myself to become dragged into a fandom’s ship-to-ship combat which I always thought was far outside my interests. I am officially a dork.

Also strangely more confident about my ability to read into fictional relationships than real ones. Huh. Man I’m messed up. Then again good fiction has to make some kind of logical sense to be engaging while the real world and real people make no such promises.

Equating peace and good will to the sudden sharp turn into the end of the world with the worldwide war, and the killing, and blood up to the eyeballs, and things bursting open and spewing forth hell demons (and expecting people to just accept such a sudden 180 degree shift in the let’s-all-get-along policy with an unquestioning shrug before getting to the killing that was anathema to the peaceful reign before) makes no sense but somehow explains so much about so many American Christians.

But the first of the Horseman, whom I was under the impression was supposed to be the Antichrist (a term not used in the same text) is described explicitly as a military conqueror which is at odds with portraying them as false harbinger of peace. Though if such a person came on the heels of worldwide chaos such as the Horsemen represent and painted Christians as the source - something that wouldn’t be hard if the whole “peace is a lie, there is only evil and divine fury” mindset is so prevalent - and their removal as a perceived destabilizing aggressor is what it supposed to bring this promise of “peace” then I guess that would make more sense.

But if I were to share a fan theory just to piss the bigots off?

Neo Politan, adorable pint-size powerhouse mute with no shortage of curves born from a gender-bent Roman Torchwick cosplay, is trans.

How’s that grab ya?

She’s loyal to Torchwick for despite him being an egocentric manipulative racist with no qualms using and disposing of people recognizing her as a woman also demonstrating that bigotry is not some uniform mass of people who hate everything but a mess of illogical contradictions, her semblance of semi-solid illusions is a manifestation of how wrong and fragile it made her feel to put forward the image of the wrong gender while anyone saw the true her as the illusion and tried to shatter it, she doesn’t speak to hide a voice she still finds vaguely masculine, and she was absent from the early seasons and heists because she was going through transitional surgery and hormone therapy. Then she took the name Neo to represent that she is an entirely new woman and the “man” those around her expected her to be was dead or never existed in the first place.

Bam! Now tell me it’s impossible.

Adam was a hateful, murderous bastard whose obsession with avenging himself upon the world Blake had the misfortune of mistaking for anger born of empathy towards the mistreated. Everyone was simply an outlet for his grudges, either as a vicarious source of anger to feel the pain that he sees himself entitled to return tenfold (a part of his personality that shows in his semblance contrasted against Yang who must directly take punishment while Adam uses another object a focus) or simply as a means of achieving his personal vendettas. The people he supposedly fights for are cannon fodder as far as he’s concerned. He doesn’t sacrifice them to make life better for Faunus, he sacrifices them for himself. They either die for him, die because they’re in his way, or die for not choosing his side no matter what their own concerns might be. Blake made the mistake of justifying his view of the world through her misguided initial respect for him. That was obvious right from the Black trailer, where he didn’t give a damn if passengers aboard the train - who might have been Faunus dust miners - died so long as he sent Schnee a message by destroying what was theirs. There was pleading in her voice like someone who went down the road of trying to reason with him only for it to end in tears, and she fled saying goodbye with the weary resignation of someone who would no longer hurt themself by trying to bring back a person they admired because they never existed in the first place. And later when Blake describes Adam that just becomes even more clear. He will rampage blindly to destroy whatever belongs to someone who has crossed him. It didn’t matter what kind of relationship Yang and Blake had, whether it was romantic (which is debatable) or platonic or even if it was strictly professional as members of the same team, it was something that had meaning to Blake other than Adam. He would destroy everything of hers until only he was left. Her friends, her family, her very cause which she thought they shared, their race, even their world. All because she walked away for fear of him and the ruin he brings to those around him, fear of the violence he would use to “correct” those who argue against his view of the world or else risk becoming another sacrifice to the vendettas he collects, and in doing so robbed him of that feeling of validation. So when he demands “what do you see in her?” he isn’t asking why Blake “chooses” Yang over him but demanding to know why he doesn’t have the same respect being as he sees it creatures of equal violence.

… No wonder “incels” identify with him. Blind hatred cost him everything. And that was everyone else’s fault.

But the asshole OP does have one point: Just as some assume the support Blake and Yang show for each other are romantic we’re assuming he’s the psycho ex-boyfriend turned stalker. Maybe he never got as far as being the boyfriend, maybe he felt that her fleeting moments of admiration of him were all that he needed to claim her as his own, or that a moment of his world view being validated from a member of the family that founded the original white fang movement and then that validation being taken away and with it the certainty that his actions would eventually lionize him in society’s memory drove Adam to obsession, or that the realization of what a momentary “hero” was could hurt Blake just as much as something more intimate, and Adam losing something he never really had and dedicating his life to hurting her in return makes him all the more pathetic.

There is an actual book on sale right now that seriously explores the possibility that Donald Trump is, in fact, the Antichrist and the herald of the apocalypse. It’s a compelling idea. Trump certainly rode in on the whitest of horses. He’s granted himself a crown. He speaks nothing but lies and demands to be worshiped as unto a God. Despite his horrific ineptitude he’s set forth sounding horns of conquest. Give him a bow instead of a golf club and he’s a dead ringer… although if you describe his incomprehensible posture rather than an actual weapon…

He’s pulling quadruple duty for the other three horsemen too. He’s taken peace from this earth and sown discord in all the lands breaking every alliance and setting brother against brother, strengthening the most aggressive of nations who incidentally are frequently represented by the colour red. He’s caused shortages in time of perilous need profiteering, hoarding, and wasting all at once as disease and starvation take their toll which as ever disproportionately affects the black community. Death and chaos spread in his wake and he actively undermines all attempts to safeguard lives to such a point that because of his rhetoric people send doctors death threats for doing their jobs. Sickly corpses pile up, all turns to ashes in his short fingers, and white nationalism drains the blood from those clinging to life. He’s the asses of all four of the horses stitched together into a living monument of sin, vice, and ill fitting fashion that could offend a blind man.

So when the cops get called to the trailer park to sort a domestic disturbance between some white trash and their sister/wife it’s no biggie if they open with throwing every random passerby in sight to the ground, treating anyone that tries to speak to them like an active threat, running down anyone that tries to move along and mind their own business and gives them the “resisting arrest” treatment, crushes somebody’s trachea somewhere along the line because even though they’re prone cuffed and unmoving they could theoretically try something and it’s just easier if they’re unconscious, tase everyone with a beer or near a beer and if they’re too drunk to stand up straight continue beating them until they stand up and walk in a straight line before they’re taken to the drunk tank even if they sustain injuries during their “sobriety test” that should have them sent to a hospital, scream at anyone having a medical emergency and assume they’re on drugs including threatening and using force in whichever order to get them to shut up and restraining them to make sure they can’t try anything if they lose consciousness from whatever was causing their distress and neglecting to call paramedics because fuck that druggie, finally getting around to kicking in the door of the trailer they were called to check on and shooting anyone that twitches even if they’re not sure of the address, toss the place for anything that might not be legal without warrant because probable cause is good enough even though that’s not how it works, and gives the “resisting arrest treatment” to anyone that moves, anyone that breathes, anyone that looks directly at them, and GOD HELP THEM if they bring up their rights or a lawyer… instead of knocking on the door and asking whoever answers “what seems to be the problem here?”

And if anyone so much as got suspended from school during their lives that completely justifies everything. Then spend months throwing that right back in the faces of anyone who questions police conduct calling the people they kicked around pathetic scumbag hoodlums that would never amount to anything and are better off removed from the streets before they could have done any real damage.

And of course, if we’re really going to even things out if anyone does get in trouble at school rather than call the parents like oh say if a white kid got caught with weed in their locker, was suspected of cheating on tests, made extremely threatening “jokes” about genocide, pulled a knife on another student, or like they sometimes do for even non-school related shenanigans like shoplifting, vandalism, molesting a sibling, and arson taken care of quickly enough to go largely unnoticed, they got the black kid treatment and got a team of officers to break their jaw with a billy club and drag them out of the class room for calling the kid who kept throwing erasers at him an asshole, suspended for refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance even if that’s not actually against school rules and then arrested at their home for disrupting the class even though that’s not illegal and a few days late on the draw, or summarily expelled for passing grades because they were failing before and couldn’t possibly have improved on their own so they must be cheating, or arrested for “loitering” waiting for the school bus then punished for truancy. And if anything resembling an actual crime occurs? Stick them with hardened felons who teach them that this is all that life is ever going to do to them whether they follow the rules or not because the only thing anyone respects is money and power and you’re fooling yourself if you think the people who already have both will ever just let somebody already under their heels earn those things honestly. That’s a message that’s just going to get harder to resist as they keep going back in and experiencing a very one sided application of any kind of rules.

Also was George Floyd healthy and strong enough to put up enough resistance to warrant physical restraint (a level of resistance one does not exactly see in the video of his arrest) and the cops “dindu nuffins” by applying physical force… except apply enough of it to kill him… or was he so addled and destroyed by drugs that the simple excitement killed him so you can claim the officers “dindu nuffins” to contribute to his death? Apart from the caveat that applying the weight of an adult body to keep still a man in such a debilitated condition as you claim that he should have had difficulty moving under his own power being unwarranted and excessive and negligence to notice he was in dire need of medical attention even without further physical insult which he got instead of said medical attention?

I remember that last time you called me chicken little things went even more horribly wrong than I was afraid they would.

Please don’t jinx it by saying it “can’t” happen, make contingency plans so it doesn’t even if he tries. Complacency is as dangerous as giving up hope, and hope isn’t much without action.

Lincoln County Public Health Administrator #moonbat #racist

I think it’s a terrifying indictment of the culture of America that the CDC seems to recognize how thin an excuse can be - usually decided on after the fact - for a black man to get singled out and possibly killed and seems to think this is an even greater risk to the health of the average African American than a deadly pandemic (unless the CDC is actually trying to kill them off, which I hate to think is sincerely a possibility especially in the Trump era) while I can bet a box of Timbits that much of the populace already arguing that they shouldn’t have to wear masks and actually issuing death threats to doctors that tell them they have to are going to react as if black people are getting special preferential treatment and insist that’s always been the case. While of course ignoring that if the BLM protests are anything to go by - at least the ones where police aren’t doing their tribute to Tienanmen Square hoping to create a riot to posthumously justify the force they lead with - they’re more observant of masks and social distancing recommendations by far than most of the populace probably owing to knowing from experience how much worse all of their risk factors are from their living conditions and will likely opt to continue wearing masks.

And an extra coffee that no matter what happens the reaction will just be dumb. As dumb as possible and missing all of the points and it’s probably going to generate a quote that ends up right here.

I don’t think it counts as an invasion if America was the one that declared war on us first. Also technically that was a counter-offensive by the British who didn’t actually expect us to hold out against America’s four-to-one numbers advantage, superior firepower, and reckless disregard for what passed for the rules of the battlefield at the time. They thought, as Madison did, that the conflict would just be “a matter of marching.” Boy, were they surprised when their ships landed to find we’d held our own pretty well. The infusion of British troops and arms brought our firepower and experienced military officers up a few notches and the numbers problem scaled back to about a 2:1 difference after America done fucked up and assassinated Sitting Bull who saw no reason to join the white man’s war and the British in perhaps one of their most self-aware moments of the century thought it best to argue in favour of such neutrality instead of trying to convince people they’d screwed over pretty badly and had a habit of breaking promises with to actually put their lives on the line for either side who’d probably go right back to being dicks. But hey, the argument of whether or not it really counts as the first time if we’ve has some experience is not for me judge. We just do what we gotta do. I’ve got a pack of matches and no other plans if it does come down to that, and maybe I’ll finally get on that dream if-I-had-a-billion-dollars project I’ve been toying with.

And who was it that aggressively attacked probes into foreign interference and ways to stop it again? And also openly invited interference? And solicited it directly with extortion? And whose lawyers was it again that actually argued that it’s perfectly legal to rig an election at whose impeachment? And who might I ask basically legitimized cheating in elections because the body meant to keep them in check are scared to cast a vote freely where they can be seen and marked for retaliation?

Voting by mail has been an American right since before you were brought crying and screaming into this world. It is the sole means that soldiers on active deployment may exercise the right they are ostensibly fighting and laying their lives down for. It is also much harder to commit voter fraud than you’re trying to fool people into believing, but since you couldn’t win over a single vote if you paid some poor bastard a million dollars for it all you know how to do is lie to keep people from their rights. You’re nothing but a two faced piece of shit trying to stop people from voting safely and setting up an excuse ahead of time to just declare the whole thing invalid and try to hunker down in the office you never deserved in the first place. And I hope to God that’s the day the crying and screaming that you’ve barely paused since your over-privileged birth finally ends.

Alright so let me see if my idiot-to-English dictionary is still up to date.

A BLM protester either assumed a Hispanic man was there to join the protest, which he took offense to believing such an association would make him un-American and demanded as right wingers are wont to do recompense for the “insult” based on his skin colour despite the very reason he perceives an insult involves insulting the other party which he believes his right and any similar request for redress on their side is childish and ridiculous… or that same Trump supporter took offense to being asked how he could support Trump at all when Trump is incredibly vocal about wanting to make life unbearable from anyone of Hispanic heritage and strip them of rights as Americans. To which he demanded recompense for the “insult” because… being questioned on the validity of their views which he was doing to them is insulting? And I guess he thinks he’s being clever making a mockery of damages pursued for racism by people whose livelihoods are directly impacted by it downplaying it like somebody said something mean to them? And not giving a bunch of free money to anyone walking up with bullshit grievances claiming to be simply insulted is I guess hypocritical according to this deliberately insulting interpretation of reparations and lawsuits? And of course simply claiming to be insulted and demanding that money right back with interest would be childish even in this childish-but-thinks-it’s-smart mockery because… Reasons?

Still working on the idiot-to-actual-sense translation.

So you decide unilaterally that your homeless shelter must be built on an established cemetery, destroying the graves of the interred and robbing the still living populace of the place they thought they’d eventually be respectfully laid to rest with their families and loved ones according to their own customs. Desecrating the dead on the list of things you can do that you know for a fact will offend people is one of the most obvious. You’re spitting on their graves while they are still alive and watching you do it. And pointedly giving them no say either as residents of the area and citizens of the country or just generally as people directly affected by the decision. This is especially interesting because if I’m reading this right while you demanded all minorities leave Jews were in fact the minority in the area where the riot occurred and you stepped over a majority population to send your message. Then you had the cheek to say that coexistence is impossible not because YOU’RE A MONUMENTAL ASSHOLE who deliberately devalues their lives in several clearly intentional ways but because they just refuse to stop acting like human beings with rights no matter how many times you dick them around hoping they’ll leave or give you an excuse to clear them out.

Gee, why does so much of that sound familiar? It’s embarrassing to not recall exactly where I’ve heard of people being treated like rats, marginalized, and their very survival within a rapidly narrowing frame of “acceptable” limitations in society being taken as an offense by people who use the excuse to demonize the survivors even further claiming there can never be peace with them despite being the ones doing the attacking. That really sounds like something I should never forget

Oh, lovely. It’s not like there’s such a thing as peasant revolts or any point in time where aristocracy suffered decapitation en masse for a poor performance review. But here’s the thing: When a king’s word is supposed to be law then it’s really that much more important that even royalty are then bound by their word. Unfortunately for this butthole the ones with the authoritarian bent that sets them all a-quiver are deliriously obvious pathological liars. You’re not going to find very many examples of THAT working out so well.

A nation in constant revolt and appealing to the lowest common denominator even if it means ripping to shreds your highest laws and ideals has been the fucking GOP strategy for the past decade and now they’re dragging the world down with them. Haven’t you noticed the one message the right wing has is that you are under attack? Even if the “attack” is that you see a Festivus pole in someone’s yard rather than a nativity scene, or that a homosexual doesn’t have to go ten miles out of their way to hide that they’re gay making it harder for you to pretend they don’t exist outside of some perverse slanderous fantasy of yours, or that basically someone is exercising their rights but not in a way that reinforces your view of how your closed little world should look? All of which is a nervous dance around admitting that the mere existence of people you don’t want to acknowledge is then construed as an attack, for it is the reminders of their existence that sets you on a warpath. What drug induced coma could make you miss that?

Okay first of all you clearly don’t pay very much attention if you’re claiming you don’t see activism in response to gang violence. That or you’re just a stinking liar. And children? You’re shitting me right? Unless this is some roundabout dig at planned parenthood which is a whole other conversation and several fucktons of ignored science in favour of loaded expressions I’m sick of picking apart there is no physical way you could see, hear, or read about a child coming to harm without it immediately being emotionally charged.

Second the law actually looks into murders when the victims aren’t black instead of beating the shit out of people for deigning to tell them to do their jobs. And then if the perpetrator is non-white they hold the ENTIRE ETHNIC COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABLE to the actions of criminals and publicly vilify them, encouraging the public to take a guilty-until-proven-innocent-just-kidding-no-proof-is-good-enough stance and preemptive “revenge” and abuses. The entire point of every goddamned civil rights protest is the mindblowing disparity of the application of the law and rampant habitual abuse of police who view these communities not as the people they are sworn to serve and protect but as vermin to be contained and made example of. If you can’t see that you’re either not paying attention and not qualified in any way to make the statement you just made. Or you’re a filthy stinking liar.

Third HOW ARE YOU NOT CONCERNED ABOUT CROOKED COPS KILLING WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES EVEN OMITTING THE ASPECT OF RACIAL DISPARITY? That is like the one thing both the right and left ends of the political spectrum agree is an objectively bad sign… well before reaching jackbooted psycho territory.

Fourth it has been a goddamned lot more than “one” man, it has been a continuing trend of hundreds of deaths per year with vicious establishment of dominance in the face of calls for accountability since roughly the time SLAVERY ENDED! You are either blindingly ignorant, just plain stupid, or a filthy stinking gutless fork-tongued liar deliberately minimizing the very nature of the injustices being protested and actively attempting to portray it as senseless overreaction to singular events.

Fifth outside of one psycho I’ve heard of cops are not "being attacked” in the streets, that’s a blatant falsehood whose only purpose is to malign people against protesters and justify aggression against them as a default state making excuses for the escalation of violence. The protests are NOT synonymous with riots and the areas where riots erupted are areas where the police response has been exactly the shit being protested: A sheer display of brutality to show the “animals” who is in charge and make examples of them for questioning authority. Other places? The protesters and police get along just fine. Hell, they even line dance. You’re a filthy stinking gutless fork-tongued malicious hypocritical liar acting as an agent provocateur AND you’re incredibly stupid. Not an either/or this time. Once coincidence, twice happenstance, three times you are TRYING to start some shit and piss me off. It’s pretty clear that when you say “nothing happens” in response to gang violence or child murder what you really mean is that nobody gets a pogrom going.

And finally why the hell do you capitalize every word? It’s about as logical as the rest of your crap but something about it’s just driving me nuts.

Done? You didn’t even START man, not thinking and not making sense. Just a pointless blatantly untrue series of statements you hope will make things worse but fall at the first hurdle by being a nigh-incomprehensible mess that would only convince assholes who already share your barely-veiled desire to make this a call to war.

I’ve got a head full of weird trivia and even I’m not sure where I picked it all up. I’ll admit the man had some memorable comebacks… even if they were based in some pretty vile misogyny.

Making “peace” with the Nazis (who I can’t believe I have to remind you were an aggressive invasive force and “peace” would be an unconditional surrender and occupation with your right to govern your own homeland stripped from you) would have entailed Britons dying by the hundreds of thousands in immediate purges before being thinned out to oblivion and your dwindling population slowly concentrated into ghettos to make way for “pure” German stock as your rights were systematically curtailed, your ability to earn a living deliberately limited, your history was rewritten, and your cultural identity butchered to fall in line with the patchwork politically engineered Frankenstein’s monster of constantly shifting German propaganda pieces. You know, literally everything you claim to want to protect from foreigners? And after locking you into a cultural stasis your slow decline into intellectual atrophy from the brutal suppression of any idea or thought unacceptable to the new rigidly enforced socially engineered “norms” which by definition would be any possible innovation you’d be bleeding out like a tortured animal over a long period of time with purges being used as the balm desperately inventing people to become the face of the problem that they can make public examples of until there’s nobody left rather than admitting there is an actual systemic problem.

And then the Nazis would have moved on to their next white neighbours and started killing them by the hundreds of thousands until they made a similar “peace” to slow their extermination to a crawl. Then on to the next. That was really the official plan, there. You might find it ironic that nobody has killed more white people than white supremacists but I find it nauseatingly predictable and am very surprised it isn’t self-evident to more people.

Churchill on a bender at his most belligerent was a better man than you could hope to be if you were capable of getting off your ass and making something of yourself without relying on others to carry you. In the morning he would be sober while you’d still be a pathetic pile of fail not realizing the people he roots for would put him up against the wall or *worse* in the camps by the third wave at the latest. And I say that knowing what a massive prick he was and how completely unfit he’d have been to lead in peacetime. (Edit: Or at least I thought I knew the extent of how bad he was. Man he sounds like a piece of work. And you still suck worse.)

Save white lives by reminding Nazis of the place they’ve earned in the landfill of history after digging the hole themselves. And shitting in that same hole, where they now live and you’re trying to invite gullible guests to join you for dinner.

Oh fuck me this is from right here in Canada! Those are MY cops dropping the ball and utterly failing to reassure the parents who tried to warn them about this asshole that they already had eyes on him. That’s all they needed to say really, and frankly coordinating a setup like what the parents did or just asking them to monitor and pass along the texts as evidence is exactly what they would have needed to nail him to the wall! Instead they just said “meh, block him on social media and pretend it never happened” like a BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS MINIMIZING A SEXUAL PREDATOR RIGHT TO THE FACES OF THE PARENTS OF AN INTENDED VICTIM! I think it’s safe to say that among the worst fears a woman can have watching an encroaching threat get treated like a mean tweet they’re blowing out of proportion ranks high, higher when it’s happening to her daughter which puts it on the radar of fathers as well. If they really were investigating that bastard and they blew off potential evidence to strengthen the case that just got served to them on a silver platter with all the trimmings and delightful garnishes then that alone makes them completely shit at their jobs and deserving of reprimand before taking into account their asshole response! But the thing is here I think there is no investigation, that’s just the cops blowing smoke up our asses to cover their own. We don’t need that shit here. We can SEE where that leads in the long run and it’s not pretty.

I was a few sentences in and wondering why this was here. Then my eyes flitted back up to the “LifeFuel” tag. Then I got to the second paragraph.

Dude, I hate and fear my brother and I don’t wish harm on him. Dear God I could tell some stories about the fucked up things he’s done to me - things like beating me up because his friends invited me to hang out with them when he didn’t want to go, trying to kill me, stealing things from me ranging from petty things like cash to the deeply personal, throwing darts at my head out of boredom, downloading child porn onto my computer because he thought it was funny and attacking me when I asked what the hell was wrong with him, genuinely going out of his way to make me feel like shit and laughing at the idea that anyone in this world cares for me and not the truly absurd “I think he gets along with women better and feel inadequate next to him and he won’t make his wife fuck me” kind of shit that is the extent of all the suffering of your life - and despite fearing one of us will end up killing the other if I’m forced into his company again to the point where I actually attempted suicide over the possibility and thinking I’ll be a happy man if the next time I see him is his funeral I still don’t want that to be any time soon and worry for his well being.

You are fucking sick. Calling you a monster would be defaming monsters. Just think about the kind of metrics I’m measuring you against when I say that!

Yeah it’s one of the things the shooting of Michael Brown brought to light in Ferguson.

To add to your point the right wing sure didn’t want attention drawn to the collective rap sheets of everyone who violently took over and occupied that wildlife refuge. Not the decades of unpaid fines from illegally grazing on government land - which Cliven Bundy is right back to doing thanks to Trump BTW - not resisting arrest, not assaulting police officers, not assaulting representatives of the county who asked them to vacate, not the multiple arsons of the Hammonds and the threats they issued to law enforcement to get them to drop an investigation into a fire they set that almost killed four firefighters, not further threats to a sheriff to get him to give legal immunity to two people (names and specific reason they were about to be arrested escape me at the moment though I think they were relatives) involving 1,500 armed men coming to bust the people he wanted protected out of jail and not-so-subtly implying they would indiscriminately gun down anyone in the general vicinity after they’re done killing everyone guarding the jail which was a much more explicit threat… and it did not matter in the slightest that their demands amounted to holding their hand out to the government and saying “gibsmedat” claiming the federal government does not have the right to own land and should turn it over to them or to the state whom they expected to allow them to continue to graze their cattle freely on public lands they assumed all responsibility and costs of maintaining while preventing it from being developed in other ways rather than land they actually owned themselves. You know, like a “welfare entitlement” but since it’s for white people I guess they call that a constitutional right instead.

And they certainly paid no mind to how gleefully those “protesters” said on camera that they were looking forward to killing police if it came down to shots being fired and how they planned to put women and children up front as meat shields to make cops look bad, constantly implying they thought the cops would be the ones firing the first shots because they had the paranoid fantasy that cops were insane murderers looking for any excuse to assassinate them. An insane delusion repeated and legitimized in right wing media rather than painted as the mindless hatred of legitimate authority espoused by criminals and supporters of criminals looking to destabilize the country or any other slander they would later apply to Black Lives Matter.

And following this trend supporters did not think police were trustworthy enough to just accept that the shooting of Bundy associate LaVoy Finicium was justified on the basis alone of police having shot him as is usually the case when black men die. It certainly wasn’t some kind of insult to the very concept of the law and authority to demand answers then like it has been for the thousands of times the black community did so only to get beaten down in response and called animals that don’t know how to behave. Mouthpieces like Tucker Carlson even started with a “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative which they would later scoff at for Michael Brown… coincidentally enough. When that turned out to be horsecrap the fact that LaVoy turned tail and ran when the police stopped him wasn’t the end of the discussion despite being an automatic justification for lethal force the moment a black man shows his back. The fact that he came full speed at a second roadblock almost running over several people apparently didn’t justify the shots into the radiator, either. LaVoy explicitly telling the police they weren’t going to take him alive and that they would have to shoot him was somehow neither an indication of his intentions or state of mind and could not prove he wouldn’t come quietly if given a sixth chance even though a black man “giving lip” is usually enough for beatings and chokeholds to commence. And while a black man having a gun or just “potentially” having a gun is the ironclad justification for unloading several clips into them from behind before saying a word video of LaVoy Finicium actually going for his gun when shot still was apparently not enough for the right wing to stop calling it murder.

And in contrast to how the surviving family of black men are treated we’re supposed to feel sorry for Finicium’s widow instead of brutally mocking her and her demand that the government compensate her for her late husband’s death. To the tune of five million dollars apiece for her and the twelve children LaVoy fathered. Another thing viewed differently by race, having that many kids. Especially with more than one woman.

Edit: Oh right, and the agent who shot LaVoy Finicium was charged with a series of crimes and lost his job despite the shooting ultimately being concluded as lawful and justified. He supposedly misrepresented something about the events leading up to the shooting - details are unclear - which was evidently enough even though that charge against him was actually dropped. Yet another couple of contrasts: First of all charges being laid with zero fuss. Secondly constantly misrepresenting facts and changing stories typically doesn’t mean mouse flatulence for anyone who shot a black person in “self-defense” no matter how overtly bullshit the circumstances and doesn’t warrant the same inescapable punishment for recklessly shooting a white man with a gun after he storms government property with a gun, threatens to kill cops, assaults police, tries to run you over, runs away, and reaches for a gun he loudly states he will use.

You shitflingers aren’t exactly angels either - hell, angels would probably burn their shoes rather than scrape you off and Hells Angels likely wouldn’t tolerate you stinking up the air around them very long - but I’d be fairly upset if police did to you what they do to the average black man for “offenses” like “manner of walking.”

I am never going to get over that this is AN ACTUAL THING in American law. And I’ll just bet it’s never been applied to goose-stepping.

Edit: Decided to see if there was ANY truth to the constant insistence that Floyd was some kind of gangbanging wild-eyed serial rapist/murderer. (Despite a security company deciding nothing in his background check was bad enough to preclude hiring already setting off some bullshit detectors.) The result? One charge of theft, one armed robbery, and caught three times high on cocaine. Not exactly the Son of Sam and not nearly enough cocaine for a respectable white businessman to plan a merger over.

Incidentally and unsurprisingly the accusations are far worse than the reality. Something about holding a gun to a woman’s fetus? Yeah that never happened. Basically they say whatever insane bullshit comes to their minds and hope at least one thing is almost true which they imagine vindicates them totally. Given what’s been twisted into a “crime” for black people statistically speaking virtually every person of colour will have been accused of something at least once in their lives which will be taken as fact and all anyone will ever need for their purposes. Bleeding on police uniforms during the course of getting brutalized by them has been written up in the past as “destruction of property” and “assaulting an officer” for example. And of course the fact that utter falsehoods are being bandied about don’t cause pause for people insisting we shouldn’t care that police routinely abuse their power and kill people because of the stuff they accuse those people of.

If you want women to write your fiction for you then you’d better be ready to cough up some royalties. Which I suppose you might compare to child support because you started something, proved entirely inadequate to the task and/or passed off all the responsibilities to someone else, and will get mad that you have to share the load of contributing to it’s continued existence despite insisting you own it while scoffing at the involvement of the other party. Oh wait, I mean “intellectual property rape” you, because you’re too stupid to know what real words are.

Dooyo #homophobia

I’ve only seen a couple episodes of HunterXHunter but… well what I have seen makes me think that show is deliberately fucking with anime fans. For one thing it makes no attempt whatsoever to dress up the kid “heroes” being murderers with moral outlooks I for one cannot wrap my head around. One Piece kind of skirts the issue and the pirates while amoral thieves who aren’t averse to offing the occasional truly despicable foe do display some kind of codes of honour here and there and the various outright evil pirates they fight against and the totalitarian government in the background definitely makes them out to be the lesser evil but this dives right into “protagonist will literally rip a man’s heart out and show it to him as he breathes his last because he doesn’t like him” and “my greatest fear is one day I will forgive my enemies before I finish exterminating them to the last man” kind of territory.

Then there’s Hisoka who is a cornucopia of “nope” and taking “foe yay” in the worst possible directions.

Even the standard familial issues of “dead mom, missing dad” are just a step past what I’ve come to expect from anime as in the first episode Gon’s runaway father who he never knew left a recorded message for him that starts with “Do you want to see me? Only hit play if you want to see me… Well I don’t want to see you. If I see you coming I’ll run away, I want nothing to do with you and if you want to find me you’ll have out badass me as a hunter to do it” and then follows up with a message from his dead mother that Gon doesn’t want to hear. I mean anime tropes tend to kind of sideline mothers and make sons extremely obsessed with their fathers even if they’re aloof jerks who don’t really deserve the attention but this is straight up middle fingers! And it’s worse because Gin made that recording for his son before he was BORN and was planning to abandon him from the start… which the kid’s mother KNEW! And he also knew she was going to die shortly after his birth making this the first time he’d ever heard a word from either of them! And he put the message from his mother which was probably a lot less hostile after his “Do you want to find me?" basically saying flat out that’s the more important thing and after his giant “screw you, I don’t want to be your dad” warning. The only words Gon would ever hear from his mother. What an asshole!

And Gon’s kind of an asshole, too. I mean sure him saying the aunt who raised him is the only mother he needs to know is sweet when you take that by itself but then you realize he doesn’t know Gin from a bag of shit and should be equally uninvested in his existence except maybe a desire to put a boot so far up his ass everything tastes like shoe leather for the next three years. No, he’s got to find this asshole deadbeat risking death and joining up with a guild of mercs and murderers for hire that operates on both sides of the law which doesn’t bother him because he frankly doesn’t seem to much care about right or wrong outside of some very narrow things. And I think he implied he flirts and possibly slept with adult women despite being a preteen. What the hell on every part of that? I can’t root for any of these people. They’re horrible, and not in the over-the-top sometimes enjoyable way of straight up villain protagonists. I honestly think that’s intentional, maybe some kind of social experiment to see how far being the protagonist can excuse a character before the audience hates them or a prank the creator’s still waiting for the fans to realize and just kept rolling with it.

Oh… and Gon and Killua are probably boning. I get that vibe.

As much as you love to emphasize the delusional fantasy that every unnatural death or violent crime is the work of some phantom black man and disinterestedly wave aside certain realities of disparate treatment in the eyes of the law you can walk around in broad daylight without fear while a black elementary school boy could knock on the front door of the neighbourhood watch in broad daylight to ask for directions and be answered with buckshot. Luckily for the boy the gun jammed on the first shell and he made enough distance by the second to only be grazed. Several others knocking on doors as part of their jobs, community organizers, or specifically hoping for someone to call the police weren’t so lucky.

Can you honestly say you have to fear simply being out of doors? Or being treated as a trespasser in areas open to the public? Or even treated as a home invader in your own house because a neighbour saw you pick up your mail and open your front door with a key? Could you be shot to death in your own house by a cop or even a neighbour and the idea of them getting away with it by saying that they thought it was their house isn’t completely insane? Are you constantly worried that you’ll be arrested trying to punch into work repeatedly by the same police officer who waits outside for you to show up even after your boss tells him off? Or that if someone randomly pulled a gun on you that they would be assumed to be in the right and you’re a menace by default who has no business being anywhere at any time and if you so much as speak that’s threatening behaviour justifying you getting smacked up or shot and if you try to run or duck or generally avoid being shot that’s an admission of guilt that only proves you deserved to be smacked up and shot? Or that you could be swarmed by police who were called the minute you walked into a store upon you exiting after paying cash for a purchase? Can you imagine being stopped multiple times a week while driving and the first words out of a police officer’s mouth not being “do you know why I stopped you?” but “I will fucking shoot you if you move! Get out of the car! I SAID DON’T MOVE!” or some other incoherent barrage of threats they probably won’t even finish uttering before you’re being manhandled? How about being stopped while walking and having your ID taken away without explanation and getting arrested for asking for one? If you stand stock still with your hands up and follow police commands do you expect to be cuffed or hit with a running tackle and put in a chokehold? If you were bleeding to death in the middle of the road would you expect paramedics to tend you or the first responders to repeatedly pelt you with beanbag rounds and kneel on your back?

No?

Then do shut your disingenuous cake-hole.

Yeah some asshole already tried that in Seattle. Tried to ram protesters but hit a barricade. Then he gets out waving a gun and threatening the crowd before someone jumps in front of a bullet and he gets his sorry ass whooped and turned over to police. The guy who got shot is okay, thankfully.

So your brother started out as an angry jock who couldn’t find much to be happy about in life, a state you believe should have had him beating women off with a stick and the women wanting him more for the beating… but then it’s only after he mellows out that he finds a woman he clicks with and starts a family of his own changing how he views the world and incidentally smiling a whole lot more.

But you seem to think that this is a negative.

Not everyone gets off on being miserable, hateful, misanthropic fucks with only the twisted world in their head to occupy themselves you know.

Actually, I think it would be a hilarious twist on the “standard hero reward” for Zelda to get shut down and left cold, especially if they’re going by some of her snootier and demanding portrayals. And if the game follows the pattern of girls meeting Link once for about five minutes and then becoming creepily fixated on the wandering mute with no personality beyond “heroically determined to fetch-quest” with him occupying their fantasies for years (best example being Ocarina of Time where even Nabooru, an adult woman, made a very heavily implied sexual promise towards Link as a child which was just made even more blatant as an adult) it’d be even funnier in the end to portray that as exactly as uncomfortably stalkerish as it really is and made that much worse through the eyes of somebody who’d never come around to their advances. Something that would work with an asexual Link as well.

Also a good hook for a sequel, subtly indicating that the recurring cycle has had some of the rules changed. A theme explored in Hyrule Warriors through an all powerful creepy stalker of Link messing with fate itself for a shot at him.

Romances are shoehorned into so much of our entertainment that it’s tiresome. In some works they’re such an unnecessary afterthought that for some reason is decreed mandatory before it’s fit for public consumption that the eventual hookup becomes baffling if not truly demented. And some people get the wrong idea entirely, interpreting the hero’s journey not to save the world, a kingdom, or even a handful of lives out of principle but out of desire for one person or just nookie. They almost imply that motivation outside of romantic pursuits cannot exist and mere proximity to another person will make them fall obsessively in love with you even if you barely interact or display overt friction and animosity.

The only history not “biased” against Josef Stalin is history that does not mention any of his deeds. This isn’t the opinion of someone maligned against communism as an ideology, this is simply fact: Josef Stalin was a vicious tyrannical monster that ruled through fear and thought less of spilling blood than a glass of water.

SunnyJohansen #racist #pratt

@SpukiKitty #42539

I think American society has to take some of the blame for what the police have become. There is the very strong indication that Americans confuse what’s exciting on TV for what’s good actual police work, that there has to be a confrontational component or they’re not doing their jobs. A recurring theme is disdain for those who do things “by the books” seeing them as impotent obstructionists who drag their feet while lauding “mavericks” who care not for any rules or restrictions and ignoring that they don’t uphold rights in practice and realistically would leave chaos in their wake acting without strong evidence, forethought, or even a reasonable basis besides “gut feelings” and that’s somehow laudable.

But the more immediate problem is the very reason people call the police, especially where race is involved. There is an epidemic of people who call the police not out of any actual fear or in response to something illegal happening but simply to visit misery and potentially injury on others out of annoyance and thinking of them as a trump card that can be deployed to bypass the hassle of reasoning with others. The police in that practice are not peacekeepers but a surrogate fist employed by a coward who immediately ducks out after using them as a suckerpunch to avoid culpability and washes their hands of the aftermath. Such pettiness exemplifies the core of the problem: Police are seen by Americans as a force of retribution, preferably immediate and violent as a “warning” to others and entertainment to those who fancy themselves just and honest citizens. They tolerate brutality telling themselves that it could only happen to someone who “deserves it” in some way, failing to see the hypocrisy and failing to see that coming to expect and desire in some form gratification by vicarious delivery of punishment spills into the consciousness of the police themselves.

And just as the general public expects police work to be like it is on TV, police feel that if they aren’t establishing dominance and throwing someone in cuffs for the “trouble” of being called out there then they aren’t doing their job or look “weak” in the eyes of the public. Many join the force less out of a sense of service but as a desire to establish control of the world according to the shallowest application of their own values or simply enact some infantile revenge against a changing world that doesn’t favour them.

That said the current talk of defunding the police sounds like madness. Something has to be done - something drastic after so much time ignoring the problem allowing it to fester and swell to this almost apocalyptic scale - but going as far as removing police presence entirely would just give rise to vigilantes who still equate administering violent retribution for sleights as “justice” rather than keeping situations from getting out of hand in the first place. The mindset about good policing hasn’t actually changed even though people are finally seeing the senseless victimization that results from it. The only thing that would change is who specifically is held accountable, and if it’s the public left to their own devices keeping them accountable will be nigh impossible. It’s retribution over the preservation of peace and justice. It’s learning nothing.

Racists are pathologically incapable of originality and the far right, for all their bleating about things being stolen from them, make a point of slapping their “brand” on the works of others claiming them as their own on the principle of “I spit on it, now it’s mine.” Something that has unfortunately and infuriatingly worked for them so far as people no longer remember any other origin for them. Things like swastikas, Pepe the frog, and according to some now the “OK” hand gesture is being claimed for white supremacy. A symbol once prolific in cultures across the globe, a comic character and piece of intellectual property stolen from its creator and perverted beyond recognition so that few remember its origins, and a simple hand gesture of affirmation. Great and small, things that link many and were previously everyday sights and sometimes comforts. Now despised and and taboo among their true originators for what the thieves have turned them into.
