Falling Forever And Ever

Still can't recover from this by the way.

"Oh, this idiot behind me? Who thinks he's funny? Yeah that's my man."

I’m hoping that this is as “angry” as I’ll get with a comic, but given how the world is shaping up politically at the moment, I fear that might not be the case.

It’s been incredibly eye opening to witness the degree to which some people I know are willing to bury their heads in the sand in order to avoid the reality of the awful things that are happening around them.  Awful things that they were told were going to happen.

In America, people are being black bagged and shipped off to El Salvador without due process to be held indefinitely in prisons, with the current administration now making social media posts cruelly boasting that they’ll never return. 

Make no mistake, if people are being kidnapped by the government, given no due process, and are shipped to a foreign nation to be held in prison with no intention to give them any legal recourse, we need to call these prisons what they are:

They are death camps.

The United States of America is rounding up “undesirables” and sending them to death camps. 

There are people in this country that voted for this.  No matter how nice they otherwise seem or claim to be, these people are evil to the core. 

There are also people who didn’t vote for this, but do provide social validation and acceptance to those who did.

If you are someone who thinks you’re against fascism, but you also accept fascists in your life, you are a fascist. 

There can be no acceptance of intolerance.  In the comic, the person I’m lampooning is the “Fake Trans Ally”, but you can swap out “trans” for any other group of marginalized people.  Frankly, just call this person “The Fake Ally.”

If you’re someone reading this and feel attacked because I’m calling you a fake ally, it’s time to do some soul searching.  When the history books are written about this period of American history, are you going to be someone who was unambiguously against hatred, or were you someone that treated hate as acceptable? 

Were you someone that invited hatred into your home?

Were you someone that shared a meal with hatred?

Were you someone that allowed hatred a safe haven?

If you’re someone that does that, you yourself are hateful. 

When you accept hate, you do so at the expense of those who are the target of that hatred.

Be better, our lives depend on it.

Me & bestie @explodingpringlescans like what we're seeing so far of Lazarus

One thing i will always praise JJK for is how they handled the "Strongest" archetype

in so many stories, there will be a "strongest" of one thing or another only for it to be subverted later by either introducing someone just as or even stronger, or they were just being manipulated, thus once the manipulator shows up they're no longer a threat

Take Naruto for instance. Pein was supposed to be the ultimate big bad, the leader of the final villain group, the bearer of they eyes of the sage with godlike power at his fingertips. Then he dies and it's revealed that Obito was not only manipulating him, but he was stronger than Pein the whole time and could've ended him at any time. Then Madara comes back and you think "Oh, this is the guy, not only does he have the power, he's got the history and plot relevance to be the ultimate big bad," then he gets merced by a guy with no actual feats and replaced by Yet ANOTHER big bad this time with actually no relevance. Like none. Kaguya, never heard of her, but apparently she's responsible for everything bad that's ever happened ever.

Then let's take a look at All might and All For One. they're supposed to be the strongest hero and the strongest villain bar none. But it doesn't work for me personally because we never see them in their primes and we never actually see what they do. Like, sure All might supposedly waged a war on villainy that was so successful that Japan is one of the safest places to live period. But we never see any of it. Any time we see him fighting it just seems like one more battle until the next, like it doesn't seem like he's actually made a dent in crime rates. Hell, the second minor thugs hear there's even a chance they could take him on in the USJ, they take the chance. As for All For One, he never really seemed scary either, like he did evil things, he blew up that one chunk of a city, but he never felt like a main bad guy, he was like mid tier villainy for me. It doesn't help that most of his villainy was, for lack of a better term, retconned in. Oh yes, you were the one that fixed Dabi up, and made people racist against mutant quirks so they would turn to crime, and you gave Shiggy a quirk that would kill his parents and raised him to hate All might. Here's an idea. For your big comeback, blow up UA. Murder All Might on national TV. Interact with Deku once outside of battle. that would be a big bad thing to do, actually interact with the story

But not JJK. From the beginning of the story, we're told Gojo is the strongest sorcerer and Sukuna is the strongest curse, and that never changes. They feel big, every time they come out a city is wrecked. No one ever doubts that either of them would lose. Even Kenjaku, who is the usual manipulator,secret "I was in control the whole time," knows that the second Gojo gets close to him or Sukuna gets tired of him, he's dead. And it's not just the enemy sides that act like it, which really sells that they're threats. When Sukuna gets even slightly annoyed at Mahito for coming too close to his stuff, he backs off and never tries again. And the elders are constantly afraid and being reminded that Gojo is always about 5 seconds from just killing them all

trans women, i love you.

you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.

trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.

dear autistics who

white

not need 24/7 support

can work independently

can pay taxes

language privileged

intellectual & cognitive privileged

who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)

when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who

radicalized & POC

from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support

visibly autistic

higher support needs

need 24/7 care

can’t work independently or even work at all

can’t pay taxes

nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC

w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities

who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try

because we always are & always will be primary target.

because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.

because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.
