@CharCubed#WalkAwayTexasRanger It's not just minority representation that matters, it's also how we represent oppressors. If we keep glorifying this Cop-who-doesn't-follow-the-rules trope, we get sympathy for cops who don't follow the rules.

Мир знает, что большинство россиян не хотят войны, но путинское угнетение затрудняет борьбу с цензурой и координацию сопротивления. Этот инструмент может помочь. Поделитесь им со всеми, кого вы знаете. https://t.co/t3vUkiWBeK
@the_nerd_skull Vaush is unimaginably refreshing after all of the insufferable purity politics, optics policing, and vicious devouring of whoever accidentally says anything off-script or bad-faith misinterpreted from a clip. Some of his comments are cringe but I feel empowered, not endangered.
I've been away from twitter so long one of the last tweets sitting on my timeline was the last time this absolute chad and his awesome community raised bucketloads of money for a great cause.
$300k+ raised for Ukrainian refugees, transphobic has-beens triggered, 26 uninterrupted hours of Elden Ring gameplay (no deaths), just another average day in the life. gonna go chug six gallons of water and pass out on the floor
@sjreyna@IlonaChan16@mysteriouskat@jk_rowling@jonkay She has a lot of power to influence public attitudes and ultimately policies. She's using that power to make life as miserable for trans people as possible, disgustingly acting like she advocates for women. She's part of a campaign of hate against some demographics of women.
@jk_rowling Listen Joanne you don’t get to play the victim card when you’re the advocate for taking away women’s rights here
Trans women are raped and killed in men’s facilities and you want to keep them there because of your trauma. Quit making your feelings other people’s oppression
The Republican party denies global warming while the country burns, tells people not to get vaccinated--even though it is proven to save lives, fights worker protections, and has tied itself to a bankrupt, narcissist casino owner. Switch teams, people.
No matter what you’re facing, know that you are loved & never alone.
I’m glad you’re in the world. Please stay strong. Please STAY. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay ❤️

@glasshousepress @FairSnark @blkahn@samswey I agree about forcing them, the first step is to hold the right people and systems accountable, not diffuse blame to the point that it becomes meaningless.
Secondly, the power/wealth balance is so askew that even global pressure by millions like you and me is an uphill battle.
@glasshousepress @FairSnark @blkahn@samswey This is misanthropic and disgusting.
Hating the human species is self destructive and SOLVES NOTHING. It only serves as cover for those we must challenge. Which is exactly what you are trying to do, protect the mass-industrial polluters. You don't fool me.
@glasshousepress @FairSnark @blkahn@samswey No, we don't. There is one power provider in my area. Maybe if you're rich you can buy solar arrays. I'm not. Most have to use the system available.
You are actively shifting blame away from the decision makers onto "humanity" so that you can protect those actually responsible.
Oh god, I'd not seen this before. It's heartbreaking.
Here's a 2010 Blizzcon panel in which a fan was brave enough to ask a panel full of men, including J. Allen Brack (left) & Alex Afrasiabi (right) whether there's scope for some of WoW's female characters to be less sexualised
@glasshousepress @FairSnark @blkahn@samswey Humans will go along with whatever energy is available, but most of us have no influence on how it's produced.
You are dispersing blame, you don't want to hold those truly responsible accountable. You just want to express anger at humanity so that nothing changes.
