Let’s keep our blogs alive
brain: it seems like problems are happening. would you like to pretend they’re not and think about fictional characters instead?
me: yes please
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.

Moomintroll: Oh no...
A lot of people are sympathetic to the concept of PTSD but not the reality of it.
They expect you to stare off into space or be sad, and they aren’t sympathetic to the angry moments, to strong reactions to triggers, to the paranoia and fear of abandonment, they aren’t sympathetic to the disorders that are often co-morbid like personality disorders, dissociative disorders, or psychotic disorder. There’s more to PTSD than just “being shy” or scared.
I need to prove a goddamn point
It was a fucking mess. Here are some highlights.
-there were probably like 10 white women and about 200 incel white men
-a bunch of the dudes made a point to set up right next to the holocaust memorial, as someone pointed out on twitter
-my personal twitter feed today was just bostonians taking pictures of the dumpsters outside their apartments and being like, “look at the straight pride parade, everyone!”
-businesses along their march route prepared by putting up lgbt flags or signs that said “go home alt-right scum”
-the floats were just trump 2020 floats
-milo fucking yiannopoulos showed up and made a speech but there were so many counter-protesters that no one could understand what he was saying
-legit there were counter-protesters flooding the streets. lots of rainbow and trans pride flags out today
-small bands along the route popped up to drown out the white supremacists’ hate with good upbeat tunes
-this dude in a clown suit and his buddy in green face paint drove 8 hours to protest the ban of a legit incel subreddit. yes you heard me. apparently incels are “reclaiming” clowns?
(im not showing a pictures of him or milo or anyone else like them because im not giving them the attention they’re so clearly begging for)
-people legit just flipped off the marchers as they walked by
-then the police decided to start arresting people. apparently there were 34 arrests of counter-protesters in total
-eventually fights broke out
-BPD started punching and driving motorcycles at counter protesters who refused to move out of the way for the straight pride parade
-the police ended up using mace on the counter-protesters towards the end of the parade
-there are reports of tear gas use also though i haven’t seen any photos of it yet
That’s basically where we’re at rn in MA as of about 8pm.
