TW: Ableism, ableist slurs, cultural appropriation
i actually said "oh no" out loud repeatedly like five or six times.
Indeed.
But please, dearest, do not attempt to drown the universe in your blood. The universe is very big. You would run out and die and leave me all alone; that would make me terribly sad.
It did not immediately register what "Moon Moon" was. So I opened the post in another tab and closed said tab the minute I saw it was about that stupid wolf name thing.
Sometimes the piece of art and the mythology the piece of art has in your head are different things.
It's why I can abstractly value Red Zone Cuba as a work showing the artistic abilities of boredom while never wanting to go back and watch it because I'll remember that it's also a shitty fucking stain by an incompetent.
Today I saw someone describe Tina Fey as "problematic." This person, when pressed revealed she doesn't dislike Tina Fey, just that she thinks she's said a few bad things. Which is fine. I told her, however, that problematic is a dehumanizing term- given that it applies to things rather than people- to which she replied
misogyny is dehumanizing racism is dehumanizing saying someone is contributing to misogyny and racism is not dehumanizing
...
Which is annoying enough on its own, but then her boyfriend replied with this
[Name removed]….. I think you just bitch slapped the shit outta Tucker with words.
Also her response is not wrong per se. I should add though that nothing I've ever heard about Tina Fey would indicate that she's racist, sexist, or anything else-ist.
^^ Again, it's a misuse of the word "problematic" that implies something completely different from what one actually means. In other words, her wording is in itself problematic.
Also, isn't "bitch-slapped" kind of sexist/offensive, if we're going down that road?
On the other hand, I suppose it's something of a welcome break from people insisting their favorite childhood shows were super socially progressive on flimsy grounds.
I strongly dislike that blog. They have no understanding of context, suck at fact-checking and are all around devoid of self-awareness or humour.
As for the comments cited, only a few of them strike me as more than calculatedly abrasive. The Hilton thing was pretty offensive, and one or two of the others are a bit much, but... well, that's her entire modus operandi as a comedian, isn't it? To push people a little.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
Here let me find something good in this blog to snark at:
bluh bluh
nope there is nothing being said here that I care about. bla bla Tina Fey made a joke that was not socially progressive
Well except "looks like a tranny" (sister why would you censor "tranny"): This phrase bothers me a lot and I suspect it is a recent emergence. No one should use this insult.

This is exactly how I feel, except worded in a much funnier manner.
^^^ That is an incredibly sweet comic and anyone that would go off on this woman for depicting her girlfriend's situation as it is should be slapped upside the head. What fucking idiots.

Not everyone that says something on the internet should be paid attention to for more than like 3 seconds because any idiot can sit down at a keyboard and type something dumb so when someone says something retarded the best thing to do is to see it as a grain of sand in a desert of public opinion, and pay it no heed. I think, anyway.

No.
I don't actually ever want to read "Sredni Vashtar". I'd prefer it to be a mystery.
It's a good-un, but sometimes mystery is fun.
Despite my love of both literature and audio of all forms, I detest audiobooks.
They remind me of sixth grade when our teacher would read us really good stories in a really bored monotone voice.

GET A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Stupidity can be funny, okay? That doesn't mean I'm "ableist."

Which was frustrating, to say the least.
You need to stop talking to people on tumblr.

My point was that "things" are problematic, and to call a person problematic is to compare that person to a thing, which is dehumanizing.

TW: overuse of the word problematic
That's a pretty terrible name for a tumblr.
