Random Tumblr posts

what the fuck is a trad?
I think it's that rarest of species on Tumblr, a completely heterosexual cis person, with no additional adjectives or pronouns.
Have been going through the Urban dictionary for an accurate meaning for the word and the closest I could find that match are either:
  • Short for the word "Traditional", a way of saying something is particularly cool or hip.
or
  • A skinhead who is not racist, nor vehemently anti-racist, but is apolitical and interested only in "traditional" skinhead music and culture.
If you want to look for a better one yourself, knock yourself out.

It's not that deep, fam.
 
Surprised they included Judaism there tbh, usually SJWs hate the Jews because of "muh privilege".

If they're up against Christianity, Judaism wins.

If they're up against Islam, Judaism loses.

Ask an SJW about Judaism's sins as an organized religion, and they will always point to Israel because "muh colonialism" and "muh Islamophobia". This is a safe criticism because Islam, the Less Privileged religion, is the victim; and as Israel is a Jewish state, they are the majority and the aggressors.

Ask them about the Judaism in America, about the repressive rules for women (primarily in Jewish Orthodox (Hasidic Jews)), about the homophobia and xenophobia (i.e. Jewish people getting shat on for marrying outside of the faith/community), and suddenly they all shut their mouths and start twiddling their thumbs and pretending they can't hear you.

This is because America is predominantly Christian, and therefore Jews are the minority here. And since, dollars to donuts, the SJW in question is probably not Jewish (even if they're not Christian), they will get raked over the coals for criticizing a minority religion, much as they would be attacked for criticizing Islam. At some point, the Holocaust will be used as the ultimate manipulative tool for why anyone who's not Jewish criticizing Judaism is "harmful" and "Anti-Semitic", even if you'd lobby the same criticisms against other organized religions.

It's all fucking lunacy to me, but that was my casual assessment of how it works based on watching this shit play out on Tumblr a while back.

ETA:


When last I checked, Seth MacFarlane didn't give a shit about criticism of any of his shows. He's a rare example of a liberal that's not above putting his personal politics into his shows (which are at their best when he doesn't) but also isn't terribly concerned about the chronically offended whining about how he's "hurt" them.

Seth Macfarlane is a huge giant raging lefty who constantly mocks the right in the sort of blatant, thoughtless ways that this crowd loves. So he usually gets a pass for his "problematic" content... y'know, the blatant misogyny, homophobia, various other -shaming he does. (I'd be inclined to give him some credit for actually going all-in on comedy, if any of what he did was actually funny as well as offensive.) But see, in the binary worldview of this sort of person, you can't agree with part of something and disagree with other parts of it... this is them trying to demand that Family Guy ditch the "problematic" elements but keep all the offensive stuff aimed at people they like to offend. And it's not even that they necessarily like or even watch Family Guy, they just want more stuff that agrees with them to exist.

The difference between Steven Autismverse and Family guy is that the latter is not meant to be taken that seriously. The horrible show filled with awful characters created by awful people, aka Steven Universe, pretends to be a guidelight for far more autistic people. Steven is an awful protagonist that the audience is supposed to root for, while Peter Griffin is just a joke. He is a sociopath as tumblrinas would call but is a joke.
There are no moral lessons on Family Guy, sure there are a lot of liberal pandering made by Seth MacFarlane's fursona, although sometimes he is the butt of the joke. In Steven Universe we are supposed to be indoctrinated about the madlib thoughts of a deranged writing board without joking about their characters intentions. Steven and the pearls are perfect, or at least what the creators want us to believe, while in Family Guy some orange man bad joke is passed later by a cuttaway gag of some 80s show.
 
Wasn't Get Out directed by Jordan Peele though?
It was, but I believe that this was referencing the content of the movie since the white people in it want the black people to "act black" and in this person's eyes that equals a white person writing a black character on stereotypes.
