[ID: Tweet from monicayk97 reads, “honestly i’m just fucking done and tired with it all. i’m angry that i know the white supremacist shooter’s name before the names of the asian women. i’m angry that it’s working class asians that are targeted and people wanna erase us all as wealthy. i’m just fucking angry” end ID]
Some will point out that the new Ms. Frizzle is canonically the old one’s younger sister, and that the old one still shows up in the new show:
they are missing the point. They are missing the point because the original is still modified, and is a minor character in the series whose role has been given over to someone who looks more like if Ariel from the Little Mermaid wanted to speak to the manager. And they are missing the point because all the characters have been given this treatment, and it gets a lot worse.
Compare the original versions:
to the new ones:
This shit, right here? This is inexcusable.
so basically
-they lightened everyone
-made the style uglier
-told the most important character to get fucked
why are companies ruining the OG art styles? like seriously, what the fuck do they have against realistic proportions? they did this bullshit to scooby doo too.
Okay claire but can you name the other sex chromosomes?
how is it non-inclusive if every human on earth is born either male or female? if we continue to just handwave science denial under the guise of being “inclusive” over some imagined demographic of people who are somehow neither male or female it will benefit absolutely no one (because people who are not male or female do not in fact exist) while erasing the specific struggles that women go through because of our biological sex.
Steven Bradbury – you know, the Australian speed skater who won gold because all of the other skaters fell down – has gotta be one of my favourite athletes for the context that most posts about him don’t mention.
Y’see, throughout his career, Bradbury’s opponents falling down had basically been his curse. He’d been skating competitively for over a decade, and in that span, he’d been knocked out of contention in major events by opponents either stumbling into him or falling in his path on at least six separate occasions. In some cases, he suffered considerably more damage than simply losing out on a medal; in one incident, a stumbling opponent’s skate-blade sliced open an artery in Bradbury’s thigh, causing him to lose four litres of blood and spend the next eighteen months in physical therapy; in another, Bradbury tripped over an opponent who’d fallen down in front of him and broke his own neck. Following the latter incident, Bradbury’s doctors told him he’d never skate again.
In spite of those warnings, Bradbury would later qualify for the 2002 Winter Olympics, though most commentators – and, by his own admission, Bradbury himself – believed that his age and the lingering effects of his past injuries made it unlikely that he’d win.
On the day of the 1000 meter short track event, it looked like those predictions would bear out. Going into the semi-finals, having made it that far only due to the disqualification of stronger competitors, Bradbury was already exhausted (it was his third event of the day), and he trailed far behind the pack. However, three of his four opponents stumbled on the final lap, allowing him to advance. In the final, Bradbury’s opponents fared even worse, becoming entangled in a massive wipeout just fifty meters short of the goal, and Bradbury was able to weave through the resulting pileup and coast to the finish line, capturing Australia’s first Winter Olympics gold.
Following the 2002 Oylmpics, Bradbury immediately retired.
some leftists r like i’ll retweet memes about killing rich people and police officers all day but if i hear a woman express the sentiment that rapists deserve to die im not sure that kind of disturbing and violent rhetoric should be allowed
You can really just click on any film and watch the entire thing online, for free! There’s documentaries and narrative films, short films and feature length! I STRONGLY encourage you to check it out.
sex work isn’t work. sex isn’t a service. you can’t commodify love, intimacy and trust. you can’t commodify the female body.
i don’t care if a man can’t get laid or why he can’t get laid, sex isn’t a need, he doesn’t get to rent women to masturbate. women are not rentable sex toys.
More than that, YOU CANNOT COMMODIFY SEXUAL CONSENT. SEXUAL CONSENT IS NOT A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT CAN HE PURCHASED.
I really think this is the angle anti-prostitution activists should be hitting on the hardest. The “selling your body” rhetoric is old fashioned and is too associated with right wing Christians and it’s always met with “well don’t coal miners/rail workers/whatever also sell their bodies”.
Consent cannot be bought. Consent cannot be bought. Consent cannot be bought.
The entire concept of commercial sex is incompatible with consent pass it on ♥️
It’s clearly not FREEly given if it’s paid for. It’s not reversible if it’s bound by a business contract. It’s obviously not enthusiastic if it’s transactional.
The sex industry violates the very bodily autonomy and sexual freedom it is defended in the name of. It is literally “sex worker exclusionary” to promote “sex work” because it is applying a different standard to these women, saying that they’re not as deserving of quality consent and it’s ok for them to be coerced into sex.
it genuinely is important to acknowledge the role of pornography in fetishizing asian women’s entire existence specifically for the pleasure of white men, who then go out into the world and view asian women as objects for them to inflict their sexual desires and rage onto. asian countries are home to some of the highest prevalence of sex tourism, including child sex tourism, and southeast asia is still crippled by the sex trade that exploded during the vietnam war. the relationship between asia and the west, and also between asian westerners and white people, is defined by the sexual exploitation of and sexual violence toward asian women. within this country, asian women make up disproportionate shares of the domestic services industry, and frequently work in intimate service jobs such as nailcare and massages. that feeds that exploitation. my mom pointed out last night how anti-asian and anti-female bias in media was underscoring the decision to refer to the business in which these women were killed as “massage parlors,” which has the connotations of prostitution, rather than “day spas,” even though there was no indication that these businesses offered sexual services. its so pervasive
6 Asian women were gunned down by a man today at massage parlours in Georgia. Femicide + racism. I am already seeing leftist men and asian-american “activists” link to red canary song, a pro-pimp, pimp advocacy organization, and talking about how we need “decrim, decrim, decrim” as if they have any idea what the fck they’re talking about. yeah, we need to decrim women and eradicate johns and pimps and brothels.
Especially the Asian male leftists. Just shut the fck up.
Women are dead and men are still thinking about their dicks. Women are dead and the pro pimp organizations still can’t shut up about how johns need to have free reign to rape and hurt women. Just one day please. Where was red canary song for all of the women who are trying to exit?? The left is over. I know I say it everyday but it really is.
