"Exorsexism" is the name of my new pornogrind band.

Steampunk is an alternate timeline so they can alter it where PoCs are treated better, but still, is it wrong to think that these people are a little too oversensitive?

Who are "brown" people? Seems kinda racist to lump natives, latinos and anything else in one single thing.

Seriously I can't be the only one who thinks calling somebody a "brown" person is super racist? Like you don't go and call an asian "yellow person".

 

[AnOminous]

As if these chucklefucks fighting racism use a brain cells to think how racist they themselves sound.

They don't just sound racist. They actually are racist.

not sure if this is tumblr worthy but most sjws are screeching about how ableist da is for hosting a art contest of the recent horror movie Split featuring a serial killer with DID:

Lol for hating on Split when they pretend to have at least 10 contradicting mental disabilities for oppression points.

M. Night Shamalama only makes a good movie every once in a blue moon. Let him have his da contest.

There's this concept of "colorism" in SJ circles that posits that people with darker complexions (brown) are looked down upon by those with lighter complexions. So the opposite of "brown" isn't "white," it's "not brown."

Light-skinned east Asians don't count as brown.

"don’t call me darling i’m not an animal"

This is the single most random.txt thing I've read all day.

The first link went to a NY Times article and the latter went to someone's Tumblr blog.

These people are no different than the moral panic mothers of years past that want to ban all video games because they'll cause another Columbine, or the ones who think metal music leads to Satanic sacrifice. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

You know, it gets tiring hearing the same argument time after time after time after it's been debunked so thoroughly.

Of course they would make this argument. Half of them literally think they are actually a fictional character.

So, my friend decided to make a post about shoplifting and how it's obviously bad. People added onto it.

I thought it was pretty funny, considering it's based on another image set from the anime in the pics (which I don't know the name of sadly).
I wake up this morning and see it exploded to 1000+ notes, to which I find this.

I dunno. It's not as bad as most posts showed off in the thread, but I thought this was pretty hilarious considering that my friend apparently didn't need to "vague post" because the dude just outed himself.

"Wait, are we talking about a lesbian woman or a straight male fucking my mother?"

You say this and don't post any examples?

Shame on you.

Nothing out of the ordinary, just drawings of male characters with Mary Sue waifus (proof that no matter how much tumblr hates heterosexuality, they're still at the end thirsty single girls who can't get a real bf), but some weird things shipping with Jason Voorhes and Michael Myers of all people.

But there's also this.

Eh, just seems like teenagers having fun. Self-insert stuff has been around forever, just look at deviantart back in the day.

Having a self-insert/writing self-insert stuff is cringy, sure, but usually harmless, unless the person is super narcissistic and possessive of a fictional character like it's their actual partner, anyway.

Acting like it should be respected/making it a moral and political issue, though, that's full-on exceptional.

Meh when I was practicing my writing I penned an entire 12 episode sci fi series featuring me and all my friends. Shit was tight. Unlike a lot of self inserters though I acknowledge that in real life I am not an unflinchingly brave mercenary starship captain with a rapier wit and immense tactical knowledge. Nor am I kin with one. I still use the universe for tabletop RPGs though so yeah, that's good.

I feel like it's the 'awareness' (for lack of a better term) that you describe that tends to make it more palatable.

It's these full-ass grown adults who seem to be lacking that and who think that sheltering themselves and younger teens/kids from any sort of criticism regarding self-insert stories or enabling nothing BUT self-insert stories (look, we've all been there, before you find your character, you tend to find yourself, it's a stepping stone and I'm not denying that) that are a problem. It's basically turning escapism into a dependency (i.e. "don't say anything bad about my story I'm not hurting anyone and I need it to cope with my problems!1!1!!") and it needs to fucking stop.

Yeah I sorta used to date somebody who was convinced her spectacularly generic fantasy world composed of a grab bag of Disney Pirates, Kevin Costner Indians (Who weren't Indians) and unrealistically bad ass self insert immortal dragon riding warriors was the next Middle Earth. She would react with almost unfathomable levels of raw fury if anybody gave her any criticism whatsoever even going as far as to shout at a reasonably famous local author who had the decency to read a paragraph of her work and tell her she needed to shorten her sentences. I've searched Tumblr for her using anything I can think of that she might use as a username but to no avail.
