Why do they have to make anime fan made art political? You can’t make your point without having to borrow someone else’s art and try to turn it into your own personal agenda?

"Fat and proud black kween" who every woman under 40 with social media caused brain rot claims is "like, totally everything."

Remember our friends Philip Pullman and Kate Claunchy from last week? (post 1, post 2, post 3) TL;DR they are two British authors who got torn to pieces by Book Twitter for an allegedly racist memoir and the words it used to describe victimised brown people - the latter for writing it and the former for defending the latter.
One of the recurring themes in the woke people's complaints is that their apologies weren't addressed towards the people who the book was about, many of which @-mentioned the people in questionj. Well, it turns out they needn't have bothered. At least one of the students mentioned in the book says they have no right to get offended on her behalf.
Of course she'd be the type to write poetry about her ethnic features, but I digress. I'm just happy that SJWs are taking the L, yet unhappy that most of them will neither care nor read this girl's comments. And if they do, they'll almost certainly be like "Well, what about all the OTHER people Clanchy has victimized!?"
Kate Clanchy, as you may know, has been "given the chance" to re-write the offensive parts of her memoir. But Philip Pullman hasn't gotten away with it either. The Society of Authors (or which Pullman is the serving president) put out a statement last week to distance themselves from Pullman's tweets. And if I were a betting man, I'd say they were already trying to show him the door.

The award-winning writer and poet received death threats after alleged racist slurs in her memoir were circulated online. But Shukria Rezaei, one of the pupils Clanchy wrote about, says critics have no right to be offended on her behalf

Last week, several people tagged me on social media, alerting me to a phrase that the writer and poet — and my former teacher — Kate Clanchy had used in her memoir Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me, which was published two years ago. In the book, she describes one of her pupils as having “almond-shaped eyes”.
Critics labelled this description patronising, insulting, offensive, colonialist and racist. This upset me. I am that girl with the almond eyes. I did not find it offensive.

To be clear, I would not dream of commenting on whether other words and phrases Kate has used are offensive to others, but “almond eyes” is a term that I have often used in my own poems.

Claiming that the voice of an unoffended minority "doesn't count" is a time honored SJW tradition.

I tried to find a "she doesn't speak for all minorities" type response, but it actually took me a while to find one. They're just not tweeting about it at all. The newspaper tweeted links to the article a couple of times, but they didn't get any replies. Maybe because the story has already left the outrage cycle? But I'm still seeing rage tweets about Pullman and Clanchy from the last few hours.
The closest I found was when another Sunday Times journo tweeted the link. The replies are surprisingly based. You have the similarly predictable "nO oNe iS tRyiNg To CeNsOr YoU" type comment, which was parried excellently by Demelza's three tweets.
And lower down you get "bUt wHaT aBoUt tHe ObEsE pEoPLe?" which again was parried by pointing out that the students and/or their parents gave their consent to be included in the book. This story really seems like the biggest of nothingburgers, but the damage has already done. Clanchy has already begun to remove certain people's descriptions from the book, and the Overton Window has moved that little bit further to the left.

AOC seems to have imagined attackers, on the regular. She has a handpicked squad of assistants who flag down various LEO org’s, to investigate & (iirc) even apprehend, unlucky civilians whose tweet’s intimidated this pobrecita. (There was that Californian vlogger/ news radio guy, back around April, & now some newer shit just up thread about her ever growing Jan 6th fan-fiction, etc.) Pobrecita hunting down virtual nobody’s who dare tweet things that embarrass her. What are the pronouns for creepy, culera?View attachment 2444957
AoC is genuinely claiming she's a "sexual violence survivor", after being nowhere near the Capitol Building, on January 6th, 2021.

Why the fuck is this retard crying about gamergate, and how the fuck did they spend 6 years writing about it?
What a worthless definition. Every sports fanatic, especially those soccer hooligans, is now so totally a nerd with a superpower.

Faultiest logic I’ve seen all day, but the day is still young. Apparently “they’ve thought long & hard” about GG, making up fallacious definitions to describe fandoms (not fans, but rabid, insular “communities,” ie, fandoms) & ascribing whatever traits this BS think piece is about, to whatever antagonists or protagonists he desires. If not he, perhaps FTM, so, she. Don’t know nor care enough to look it up atm, or ever really.
“Everything I don’t like is a cho mo” is not the nuanced take she thinks it is. “Needs to be pulled from airing,” because baby doesn’t like it? This SJW is trying to tell others who the “fascists” are? Crazy talk, & not surprising.
