tragic when a thing gets hate for being 'woke trash' and you look into it and its not even that woke. like cmon man i was promised monacle popping gay commie propaganda. this is just a video game with a woman in it.
sometimes I think we need to drop "privilege" as the end all be all metric to discussions of queer social dynamics because clearly people do not know what it means. wtf are you talking about, closeted queers have privilege?? living a fake life, being misgendered every day, not being able to pursue romantic relationships that you desire or having to wear clothing you hate all for your own safety is not privilege. that is a survival tactic.
it comes down to the misconception that people think "privilege" means "how likely you are to get physically assaulted or be the target of a hate crime" with absolutely no nuance for personal freedom, bodily autonomy or even happiness and emotional fulfillment
ask these people whos more privileged, a prisoner in solitary confinement or someone living in a city with a normal crime rate? and by this logic they'd answer "the prisoner" because the prisoner is less likely to get mugged on the street lmfao
what did we do to deserve portal 2. that shit was so good and for what

it’s frustrating when you’re talking about an inherently oppressive institution that dehumanizes everyone who is subjected to it and someone is like “it’s especially bad for those it is incorrectly applied to!” as though being the intended victim of an injustice makes it less of a tragedy
To this day I still don't believe that anyone actually thought you could generate infinite chocolate via an optical illusion. That's a thing people tell themselves to feel superior
The defining feature of tumblr is not "the website where people actually think infinite chocolate is possible", it is defined by a group of people refusing to break kayfabe, another group being genuinely confused by an optical illusion (NOT the same thing as thinking infinite chocolate is possible) and a third group who is certain they are a lot smarter than the other two.
you can tell jud is a catholic because he keeps feeling guilty and confessing to stuff he's not responsible for
Some of you think of Cops as kind of a symbolic figure representing "telling you what to do" & you're Posting things like "acab includes fandom discourse" and I thuink the 80% white website needs to remember the reason why we hate cops is because they kill people
We hate cops because they're a weapon for enforcing the state's interests through violence. Like, they kill & imprison people. The antis don't have a Quite Literal boot on your neck please god log off or talk to a Black person or something
To be SO fair like really generous there is something to be said for unlearning the habit of figuratively "policing" other people especially in the context of, like, not being a fucking snitch, "kill the cop in your head" etc etc, but can we not completely lose the plot re: what cops Are
