Random Tumblr posts


Do you want to get fucking robbed/raped/killed? Because this is how you get robbed/raped/killed.

I mean this typically applies to any foreign place, but in the Caribbean, Jamaica, especially, this is true. I mean please, send these Tumblrtots to Jamaica and make them stay outside of the pristine resort. Have them flaunt their progressive super-gay-stereotype bullshit in front of the locals, known for being violently homophobic. I'll wait.

Yes, the tourism industry is shady as fuck and often takes advantage of the locals, but that's true of literally anywhere, even in the U.S. (Disney, anyone?). This is not some concept unique to "POC" countries.

...also, that's not what colonialism is.

Oh come on, Nancy Grace needs another idiot blonde coed to go missing in the Caribbean. How else will she fill her time slot?
 
What is this terror tumblrinas have for gentrification?
As though the desire to have a neighborhood not exclusively populated by gangbangers and gutter trash is something inherently wrong?
God forbid we violate the free indie spirit of a neighborhood by driving up property values and creating jobs. Wherever will we score heroin after the loss of these vital communities?

I also note that the people who complain the loudest about gentrification tend to live in safe suburban neighborhoods.
 
Gays can get married it's not illegal but it's extremely frowned upon and you can get disowned by your own family for that. And knowing how Japan is with family people will hide the fact that they are gay\trans for the sake of that.
Japan isn't the most progressive place and yet tumblr is filled to the brim with weeaboos.
Gays can't really get married. Civil unions are legal in some prefectures, but that's all. It's actually one of those places where if you're trans and straight, you have more legal rights if you come out (changing your documented sex and all that) than if you pretend to be gay.

Japan is in an odd place with gay rights, as it stands. Unlike countries founded on, say, Christian or Islamic values, there's nothing in Japanese tradition that says being gay is wrong, so there's a lot less noise coming from both the homophobes and the gay rights movement. As a result, there's a lot more public ignorance and general insensitivity about the subject, but hate crimes are also much less prevalent.
 
Gentrification is a class thing. The fear comes from middle/upper class people moving into poor neighborhoods and fixing up their properties, which draws more affluent people, continue the cycle. Eventually the people who originally lived there can no long afford to because property values have gone up.
That's how it is in my city. My neighborhood is all pill poppers and heroin addicts now their dealers are moving to where they live. The addicts aren't complaining, though.

Old people may not like those colored folk giving their grandkids drugs but they are also on vicodin and xanax.
 
Can't forget those posts where they say "evey character is trans i don't make the rules uwu".

That's when you just flat-out tell them, "You're right. You DON'T make the rules. They're not your characters--they're someone else's intellectual property, and you're not entitled to any say in what anyone else creates. If you wouldn't let others make assumptions about your OCs, don't do the same to theirs."
 
Japan isn't the most progressive place and yet tumblr is filled to the brim with weeaboos glamorizing Japan acting like it's this kawaii progressive utopia.
Because acknowledging Japan's history of homophobia, RAMPANT xenophobia, colonialism, and racism would mean abandoning the idea that POCs are a homogenous progressive lovey dovey peace loving bunch and all the -isms and -phobias in the world are the fault of white people.

If Japan isn't a progressive paradise, then why are all the characters from Sailor Moon, JoJo and Osomatsu-san gay and trans?

This user is 15 and apparently having babies on the astral plane. We might yet return to the classic fandom wank days of the snapewives and sephirothslave. Also, they claim to have Cotard's Delusion, so I'll give them points for self dx originality at least.
