it/its pronouns doesnt mean “use they/them for this person if you feel like it” it means it/its pronouns this is non negotiable and i am going to kill you with my fists and teeth
if were all catpeople there would be trans catboy forums devoted to how to dye over calico markings so you can pass better and another group of trans catboys who insisted that the only way to deal with it is to normalize catboys having calico markings. the discourse would be insane
meanwhile all the far right commentary catboy youtube channels would have videos titled ‘HAS “MALE CALICO” ACCEPTANCE GONE TOO FAR?’ with the thumbnail of some random calico catboy who was shown in 0.001 second of a popular clothing brand’s pride month ad
there would be a whole other discourse over why we should stop talking about calico catboys when no one knows the struggle of transitioning from a girl orange cat (cute) to a male orange cat (stupid)
The fact that there was an international outcry over the burning of Notre Dame , but not a single word uttered for the desecration and destruction of worship places, archives and libraries of Gaza and rest of Palestine ,many of which are FAR older than Notre Dame and other buildings in Europe should tell you enough about which countries are deemed worthy of respect and preservation in the West .

“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw
This post blowing up has taught me that a lot of you think that “how are you treating the character” is asking about how they’re treated within the story, not how you, the author, is writing them. I don’t care if your female characters are goddesses or superheroes, do they talk like actual people and not a cardboard cutout with tits stapled on
{ID - a response to the ask, by Toriel and Sans Toriel - I do not know his favourite food, but… Usually I pack him a cheese sandwich, an apple, and some milk. Sans - don’t forget to cut the sandwich diagonally Toriel - Or into a maze. Sans - with traps. Toriel … oh! Do you remember when you asked me to buy those little premade lunch packs, and I thought they were for Papyrus… Sans - nope. those were for me. Toriel - You did not even make the little pizza. You just ate all the ingredients seperately, like a goblin. Sans - she was laughing. she thought i looked cool. Toriel - He looked terrible. He kept groaning. Sans - yeah, and you looked great after you drank three glasses of wine… and started throwing the pizzas at me like frisbees. Toriel - Leave END ID}
Some day the indiscriminate mass killing in Palestine is going to be an event in the history books
and people with the exact same intelligence, conscience, and ability to become informed as you or I will be reading about it, and they will think to themselves, how could so many people see that happening and really believe that it was justified, or that the Israeli government had no choice? The internet had been invented by then, right? I just don’t understand how the government got away with killing 15 times the number of people that died in the terrorist attack and saying it was self defense when they said themselves that they were mostly killing innocent civilians that had nothing to do with it. Look, it says it was known at the time that over 6,000 of the dead at that point were children. It just doesn’t make sense.
They will maybe decide, based on the small information the book gives about us, that people in the past were just more ignorant and closed-minded, that we hadn’t yet developed the conscience of the present, because we were Ignorant Past People that didn’t know anything and didn’t have the same morals.
But then again, the book is not written yet. We can still change it.
Condemning the ongoing genocide of Palestinians doesn’t require you to LIKE Hamas or disbelieve the reports of atrocities committed by Hamas. It’s the opposite!
If you think murdering civilians is bad, and if you are angry and horrified that civilians got murdered in the October 7 attack…wow, you’re going to be LIVID to hear what the Israeli government is doing!
Like…basically every bad thing Hamas does, the Israeli government is also doing to WAY MORE PEOPLE, and the Israeli government also has the most powerful nation on earth which is basically a giant pile of weapons, sending it billions of dollars worth of weapons
The question of what group is, in theory or in creed, more evil is not as important as the fact that the Israeli government is currently doing much more evil, and has much more power to do evil without facing consequences.
I’m an American…I thought we liked supporting the lesser of two evils.
(I’m kidding. But more seriously, many people have said it’s necessary to support the lesser of two evils. And look, here are two evils! Which one do you think is the lesser one?)
@spoonie-waagosh The implication of “supporting” one or the other is kidding, my idea of getting the people reading my post to think about what “lesser evil” means is fully serious.
In the USA, with our own politics, many people understand that there is not going to be a candidate that is “good,” that they are all supporting a crooked and cruel system and willing to be responsible for heinous things, but they still grudgingly decide that one candidate is notably worse than the other. We are using a different judgment on Israel and Hamas, where because one did awful things, the other one must be supported at all costs, no matter what the other one is doing. Is that fair? It seems wrong to use nuance on myself and black-and-white on others.
Everyone says “The murders, torture and rapes are terrible and evil, so the Israeli government should have all the bombs it wants” forgetting the important step of considering that the oppressive behavior of the Israeli government has also been responsible for murders, torture and rapes. Just look up what the Palestinians that get imprisoned in detention without trial go through!
A sudden and shocking event of violence gets lots of attention, a slow rasping grind of violence can look deceptively similar to peace, but we have to realize that these violences are not any different.
Both are unacceptable. That means BOTH! That means we have to be resistant to an idea of “peace” that is just making the violence slower and quieter—peace won’t really exist until everyone has equal rights and is treated with dignity

Nelson Mandela was in USA’s terror watchlist until 2018. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn’t actually take murica’s opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they’re actually fighting for the freedom of their country.
That’s why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
