my biggest problem with tumblr is that it has a big TERF community
as a trans woman, I’m pretty reticent about federating with them
in fact, tumblr itself may be a part of the fediverse someday!
wether or not we should want that is another topic.
how about embracing their existence on the fediverse by defederating their ass into oblivion?
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
alpha male? puh. i’m a phi male. they’ve got nothing on me 😎
the thing can read fucking SNES soundtrack files out of the box. i’m sure it could run a marathon if you asked it to
When I talk about dented head and drools, I’m not referring to this soyjak in particular (which is far from the worst), but many who are commonly used have that, such as this one (obvious CW for ableism)
Sorry for the confusion there!
(to clarify, I don’t think OP had any shitty intentions. but that’s why we should point out this stuff IMO, because it slips through the cracks and even people with good intentions can unknowingly spread shitty ideologies. I’m certainly not free of blame either)
as for the rest… well yea, no piece of media is morally without faults, memes included. but in the case of wojaks, I fell like the faults are high and obvious enough that we should still avoid using them.
But there is an issue with the meme itself. It often associates whiteness (notice how the chad is explicitly a white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes) with being good/right, or physical characteristics associated with 'stupidity' (drooling, dented head) with being wrong. The underlying white supremacy & ableism is still there.
And no, we shouldn’t compromise on our values to use popular memes.
Stop selling weapons to Israel, that would be a good start
Send more humanitarian aid to Palestine
Make it easier for Palestinian refugees to come to Canada
