I Despises That Trump And Musk.

Question #1

Does anyone ever feel like banging their head on the wall after going on the internet so much, due to the intolerable negativity that's infetcting it right now?

This is very well said. And I agree with this post 100 percent.

a short collections on my rantings about “Media criticism” channels online that can’t shut up about the problems of modern media * if you see a movie or show, that you don’t enjoy but other people do, maybe that doesn’t mean the other people are wrong, but that there is something about the movie that subjectively doesn’t work for you, but does for others. * Your opinions are not objective fact. people disagreeing with you are not wrong. Yes, even if you “elimate all bias” in your analysis, it’s still an opinion. * “all these POC characters are only cast for diversity points” when they are legit the best actors in the show/movie and all the bad lines are performed by the white characters… * “All these modern big corporations, keep going too woke” my little fucknugget, a lot of the media you probably like, would be considered woke if it came out nowadays. Like, read an interview with the directors of the time about their views and reasons for making the movie, artists have a big history of putting their politics in their art, and movies are no exception. * Like, if anything, Big corporations like Disney and Netflix are TERRIFIED to put politics in their shows, even when their directors want to put in anything that may be considered “political” they are constantly hit with censorship, and told they aren’t allowed. What corporations do permit in their big budget movies and shows is ONLY what is considered so default and neutral, that the majority audiences won’t find a problem with it. * And no, Disney or whoever you think is the Devil Incarnate, is not pushing an agenda with this, the actual media properties that are trying to push their political views, in every existing direction, are largely independant filmmakers who tend not to get super popular or succesful, even when they have large financial backing. * Also, a black person does not make a movie political. Nor does a gay, disabled, trans, whatever character. People will be cast in their roles based on who plays the role best, or sometimes by personally knowing directors (and having a good working relationship beforehand) or nepotism. * media corporations do not care about what the “woke twitter mobs” think. litterally every time an LGBTQ show gets cancelled, calls to revive it are trending on Twitter for months, and the corporations don’t care, because it means nothing to them. * specifically for the star wars nerds… Kathleen Kennedy had more creative oversight on the projects you like, than she did the sequel trilogy. if you think “The Mandalorian” is what Star Wars should have been, you can thank Kathleen Kennedy for that. * If you continue to have a moral panic over the direction of “modern media” and keep pearl clutching about how your childhood is being ruined by “overrepresentation” you will actually give yourself testicular torsion. There are serious, important, good critiques to be made about the way media is going, like how a lot of the media coming out now is under the control of just a few large corporations, like how the digital effects divisions are being overworked constantly. Like how streaming services like Netflix promote binging a show within the first few weeks because then they don’t need to pay as much for the residuals. But if you ignore all of those points, to focus on “WOKE MEDIA” you have a stick so far up your ass, all your shit is spewing out from the mouth instead.

I heard Tim Burton is directing an "Attack of the 50ft Woman" remake :p

Might redraw if I have time, I want Johnny Depp and the woman to look less like Ragged Ann & Andy

Happy New Year, Everyone.

Obviously.

Watch for this in the coming days

Okay so apparently kids these days don't know how to be safe online because their parents are fucking stupid and don't know anything about the internet!!!

So I'm gonna tell you teenagers how to be safe and not get abused because there is no shortage of predators on the internet. I'm gonna go from super basic things you can do to keep yourself safe to more specific instances where a predator may be trying to groom you that you can recognize. Remember though; if you are abused or have been abused it is not your fault. You deserve protection and you deserve respect as a minor, regardless of how you spend your time on the internet. Victim blaming helps nobody but predators, but there are ways you can protect yourself, even though you shouldn't always have to.

Basic tips:

DO NOT SHARE YOUR REAL NAME

DO NOT SHARE YOUR AGE

DO NOT SHARE WHERE YOU LIVE

DO NOT SHARE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF YOURSELF

DO NOT SHARE PHOTOS OF YOUR HOUSE

IT IS OKAY TO BLOCK WHOEVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON.

Don't sacrifice your safety, comfort, or peace of mind just for someone else's feelings! Especially a stranger! Also, if you think something is off, it probably is. You need to trust your gut. SPEAK UP! Tell a trusted friend, sibling, or adult! I'm sure you've heard the phrase "silence is violence" -- this phrase goes for abuse as well! Unsafe people want you to stay quiet so they can continue to harm you or others. It is not inherently problematic to have friends who are adults, in fact it is healthy and helpful to have friends who are older than you, however we live in a world where you cannot trust many adults, so you need to be cautious of adults you encounter at all times, including ones you know well or are well known by others. It is also not inherently problematic to be asked many of the questions above, but it is important to ask yourself whether or not you want to give that information to the person asking. If not, simply tell them that you do not give out that information and redirect the conversation, or block if you feel uncomfortable.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT INSERT YOURSELF INTO ADULT SPACES.

I know it is tempting, especially with the way hormones effect judgement and your emotions, and we all want to be included, but inserting yourself into spaces you know you should not be by lying about your age is incredibly unsafe and leads to horrible situations that aren't always easy to get out of. This includes adult fandom spaces, websites, searching adult topics, NSFW blogs or accounts, and even group chats. Even if your friends invite you to these spaces, it does not mean you should neglect your safety to be accepted. It's okay and encouraged to say no. You will thank yourself when you get older!

More Specific Tips:

YOU SHOULDN'T PUT YOUR MENTAL ILLNESSES OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN YOUR BIOS ON YOUR ACCOUNTS.

Awareness and solidarity for mental illness and disabilities is very important, however predators are more likely to go after people who may have a more difficult time discerning what is normal and what is not in social situations, especially when speaking to an authority figure like an adult. Do not make yourself a target by listing the ways you struggle with social cues, understanding rules and safety, or communication. It is okay to seek solidarity, but there are predators seeking out disabled and mentally ill youths to abuse.

DO NOT OFFER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL ON THE INTERNET.

It is dangerous to release information about your whereabouts in any capacity on the internet, especially your school where you are doubly putting your peers and classmates in danger as well. If you come into contact or into the orbit of a predator that is bent on finding you or meeting you, your school is a public place where one may feel brazen enough to pretend they know you. Even if other kids are doing it by posting fight videos or even innocent videos, doesn't mean you should.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE INSISTS THEY'RE A SAFE PERSON DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE.

People lie on the internet all the time, including in some really bizarre and meaningless ways, but there will always be people who lie to get closer to someone to make them a victim. Just because someone tells you they are against abuse or even if they advocate against it does not mean that they themselves are a safe person. Predators will do anything they can to get you to trust them, and while predators are usually very pushy and want things to go quickly, some will take their time to groom you.

!!!!BIG RED FLAGS!!!!

IF YOU SEE ANY OF THIS BEHAVIOR, RUN! BLOCK AND REPORT PEOPLE WHO DO THESE THINGS FOR YOUR SAFETY! IT'S NEVER WORTH STICKING AROUND THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE!

THEY CONTINUALLY SEND YOU SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL, INCLUDING FANART, FANFIC, AND VIDEOS.

THEY TELL YOU AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, OR LOVE HAS NO AGE.

THEY EXPRESS THE OPINION THAT MINORS CAN CONSENT TO SEXUAL ACTIVITY.

THEY CONSTANTLY MAKE "JOKES" ABOUT MINORS IN A SEXUAL WAY OR ABOUT BEING ATTRACTED TO MINORS.

THEY EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING "LEGAL" AT THE AGE OF 18 OR FIXATE ON AGE OF CONSENT LAWS.

THEY GET ANGRY AT YOU FOR SETTING A BOUNDARY OR IF YOU MENTION TELLING YOUR PARENTS.

THEY ENJOY "LOLI" OR "SHOTA" MATERIAL OR ENTHUSE ABOUT THOSE TYPES OF CHARACTERS.

THEY CALL YOU PET NAMES THAT YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH, EVEN WHEN YOU TELL THEM NOT TO.

THEY ASK YOU HIGHLY PERSONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT SEXUAL ACTIVITY, YOUR PERIODS, OR MASTURBATION.

THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE MATURE FOR YOUR AGE, OR THAT YOU'RE NOT LIKE OTHER KIDS BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE ADULT THAN THEY ARE.

THEY ASK YOU TO SEND PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF YOURSELF DOING SEXUALLY CHARGED THINGS, WHICH INCLUDES DANCING OR STRIPPING, OR SPECIFIC PARTS OF YOUR BODY.

THEY KEEP STEERING THE CONVERSATION IN A SEXUAL DIRECTION. THIS INCLUDES ROLEPLAY!

NONE OF THIS BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR AN ADULT TO ASK HIGHLY PERVASIVE QUESTIONS OR TO BECOME PUSHY OR ANGRY IF YOU EXPRESS DISCOMFORT. BLOCK AND REPORT THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE, THEY EXHIBIT BEHAVIOR CONSISTENT WITH SEXUAL ABUSE PATTERNS.

Adults and Minors alike please feel free to reblog. It is imperative that young people who don't know these things learn them, because the only thing a predator hates more than a jail cell is a minor who cannot be abused.

Thanks for the like.

No problem.
