u know when u scroll past a post because it’s talking about a serious topic? for example a national crisis in a different country or a donations post detailing abuse or just something triggering to you, because you don’t have the emotional capacity to deal with it at that exact moment? that’s okay. you don’t have to feel like a bad person just because a tumblr user said “don’t scroll!!!” you can scroll. if you know something will be triggering, you should never feel bad for skipping it.
world hard…martin… soft
hate to be that guy who reposts twitter screenshots but im obsessed with this answer. he is so fucking correct
so just to be clear. shane dawson has:
mocked trayvon martin’s death
shared a GRAPHIC fantasy about mutilating and killing a black woman who called him out on racism and misogynoir
defending pedophilia on his podcast
gave multiple racist influencers platforms
one of which he made jokes about their racist scandals the whole time
the other he sympathized with when he whined about getting called a cracker in response to calling 2 of his latino employees b**ners
made a parody of nicki minaj in black face, in which he was mostly making fun of her for having plastic surgery and having a fat ass, literally a modern day minstrel show
made a song where 2 characters were at a club and the joke was that they saw a trans woman and thought she was hot, saying the t slur in said song (only source i could find)
made a video where he jacked off to a poster of willow smith (who was ELEVEN. 11 at the time)
profited off of a character who’s literally based on black stereotypes for years
done blackface in other instances i don’t even know the context of
shouted the n word
there’s a bit in another of his old videos where he literally masquerades as an immigrant who doesn’t know much english- this hasn’t been called out yet, but i remember seeing it in 6th grade (in the same video he asks a character that’s supposed to be his mom- but just him in a wig, as usual, if white people or latin people are better, and the mom character refers to as a trick question)
refers to himself as poor in his videos to this day, even though we all know he damn well isn’t.
these are 13 instances that i alone know of. if this man doesn’t face repercussions, he will continue getting away with this shit. nothing will fucking change, this will happen every 6 months.
Go watch Pixar’s Soul if you have Disney+.
Go watch Soul because it actually has black people on screen for most of the movie.
Go watch Soul because we’re not caricatures or flat, one-note black stereotypes.
Go watch Soul because it actually has an important message on one’s passion and purpose in life that I refuse to spoil here.
Go watch Soul because the trailers DON’T actually give away the plot and the movie’s genuinely better the trailers.
Go watch Soul because you bet your ass corporate’s gonna blame low numbers on the film having vast majority black characters and try to stop this kinda movie from ever happening again.
Go watch Soul because judging the entirety of a movie before it even airs based on the freakin’ trailer (which is hardly ever actually put together by the creators of the film itself and is more tied to the marketing department) instead of the actual film itself is an incredibly ignorant thing to do.
Go watch Soul and form your own opinion instead of jumping on a woke bandwagon.
Signed,
A black person that actually watched this movie
a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?
'my child is fine' your child no longer feels they can ever be interested in anything again and uses badly applied eyeliner as a coping mechanism

i miss living by the woods so much
(i mean technically theres a nature park type place near me but its so crowded and that just ruins the mood. also the fact its about 30 minute walk where the one where i used to live was literally through a field behind our home)
