you are a tar pit

in any case if you actually cared beyond making your pet ping (you’re not wrong about money corroding morals and enabling abuse, but it’s not the only thing that allows a blind eye to be turned towards this kind of abuse). This wouldn’t seem out of nowhere to you

you do realize that in this particular case a lot of the most prominent accused aren’t even religious, right. like I’m not running defense for the abuses of the Catholic Church or whatever here and I don’t care to but there were a lot of post-religion tech bros on that island too

who are you to go on about how you’re laughing at concern for suffering?

something that very genuinely concerns me is how many people responding like this (the sanctimony from this poster specifically) seem to think this is inherently a crime that comes solely from having too much money, when poor people get away with it for decades too due to being “beneath notice”

just envisioned you laughing exactly like that sound in Just Lose It every time

bf finished reading IWTV and drew Claudia attacking Lestat

this is a former Green Party candidate for president

Viola Davis so happy about Michael B. Jordan winning a SAG award that she transcends time space and white supremacy.

When it finally happens:

Twin Peaks Logo Generator Turtle Power!

Fuck, they’re going to put Riley Gaines in charge.

Victoria has never known the joys of Creole food and that’s like a third of why she is the way she is

how easily white people outside the US get really mad being asked to consider there are POC in the US with cookery cultures that aren’t Hamburger Helper

on that happy note I’m going to New Orleans this week, where I will be eating the best food in the US for four and a half days straight

white brit thinking race doesn’t have any impact on culture or lived experience alert! white brit thinking she has the right to talk about black Americans like they’re equally guilty for this country’s sins alert! mayday! mayday!

but also omg Victoria do you think Americans of color in particular making fun of your food is an abuse dynamic? Jesus Christ

first off: lol “abusing us”

secondly, Americans joke about *white people food* not being seasoned all the time. British food that’s outside of the influence of the Indian diaspora is like, quintessentially so. you see the same jokes made about white midwesterners’ potlucks.

so what I’m gathering here is that you guys have never talked to an American of color, or even like, a white person from Louisiana, in your lives

now more than ever the modifier “white Americans” is desperately needed

it’s rabbit hole shit but your garden variety transphobes will usually feel that just saying someone *looks* trans to them is bad enough— “might as well be” is a whole equally disposable category unto itself for them. By the time they’re convinced Everyone Famous Is Trans though, they’re here.

in some cases this leads to assuming environmental factors placed by sinister government figures to induce it in the general population rather than direct complicity from their parents, but it’s pretty bleak nonetheless.

of course, viewing basically everyone in the world outside of their personal circles through a lens of paranoid vigilance about alleged “tells” means eventually that lens turns on themselves, except instead of a wake-up call, they start thinking of themselves as failed sacrifices or warped mutants.

regular trans people on the street are largely viewed as like… late joiners. but the beliefs about it being a necessary step toward having any power lead to them believing most famous trans people who transitioned in adulthood and while in the public eye are actually detransitioning.

so basically once people get deep enough into transvestigation, it’s usually from a point of believing that it’s a ritual act of “inversion” that happens in the womb, and that people become famous (or even like, notable) because they went through it before birth + demonic forces ensure their success

This is in fact an extremely different statement than Schumer's tepid complaint that an otherwise very morally justified war should have been put through the proper channels.

this is also why the “someday they’ll realize they don’t fit their standards either” stuff doesn’t work; by the time people are in deep enough to believe this stuff, if they spot “signs” in themselves they accuse their parents of doing it to them pre-birth and being “in on the conspiracy”

they also literally do not think you have to have undergone transition for it; a lot of broad transvestigation theories are tied to the idea that it was done in the womb as a ritual thing.

Hang on, China did the Susan Collins “highly concerned” bit? Oh brother
