Just a reminder that Vincent van Gogh did not eat yellow paint to make himself feel happy, he ate paint, and drank different chemicals because he was suicidal and this is why he was not allowed in his studio while having breakdowns. He also did not paint starry night and his other great works because he was depressed, he painted most of them while he was in recovery and demonstrated his hopefulness and love of the world through this. Most of his great works were painted from his room at a hospital. Van Gogh’s depression should not be glorified. His hope and effort toward a better life, as well as his recovery from depression should be glorified.
skinny disabled people you have a duty to not be fatphobic to disabled fat people or just fatphobic period. do you have any fucking idea how horrible it is to be disabled trying to get a diagnosis and having everything blamed on your weight. do you know how anger inducing it is to have every single (and yes i mean EVERY SINGLE) symptom blamed on weight. the worst part of it is trying to receive community support and seeing so many chronically ill/disabled people push fatphobic rhetoric and be openly hostile to fat disabled people. you arent cripplepunk if youre fatphobic.
Friendly reminder that calling Zuckerburg a lizard or alien is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews. Zuckerberg is an ethnic Jew, and insinuating that he's something inhuman only contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views
Let me help some of y'all with reading comprehension:
"[C]alling [any Jewish person] a lizard or alien [or not human] is antisemitic and echoes New World Order propaganda about Jews... [and] ...contributes to the current resurgence of neo-Nazi views."
It's not about one guy. It's about being made aware that using neo-nazi dogwhistles about a Jewish person makes the world a more comfortable place for nazis to fuckin murder the rest of us.
It's okay if you didn't know, it's not your fault, dogwhistles are that way on purpose, to slip by unknowingly. Just knock it off and try not to spread it around yes? Okay.
Since the reading comprehension on this site is piss poor and it shows in the replies, I thought I would clarify this post even more for some of y'all out there.
The whole "lizard people shadow government" thing is an antisemitic dogwhistle. The point of dogwhistles is that you're not using them with ill intent, but they still indicate the spread of neo nazi views and propaganda.
Saying "I'm doing it because he's not a bad person, not because he's Jewish" is not an excuse. This post wasn't calling you an antisemite for unknowingly spreading this propaganda, as that's literally what a dogwhistle is meant to do. Literally just stop doing this, it's not that hard lmao.
It disturbs me, as a non-Jew myself, how many of us are trying to be defensive in the replies, when pretty much every Jewish person I've seen talk about this issue agrees that it's wrong to apply antisemitic rhetoric to someone even though he is a bad person.
By calling a bad person an antisemitic dogwhistle, you show through your actions that you think Jewish people need to earn the right to be treated as human beings. Think of how bigots will often show their true colors by misgendering a trans person who also happens to be an awful piece of shit human being.
"But I can't think of other insults to use!!!" it's not Jewish people's responsibility to think of jokes and insults for you, and also, that's not an excuse to keep doing this bad thing.
Just stop spreading this rhetoric and move the fuck on.
i have lots of flaws but i do at least take a fair amount of comfort knowing that, if i were a customer NPC in a fast food/retail management game, i would be one of the chill early-level ones that can wait a super long time before they start getting impatient, and you breathe a sigh of a relief when you see them show up in a harder level
a little obsessed with these I won’t lie
