Elf androgyny and dwarf androgyny and orc androgyny are like three very different forms of androgyny and defiance of the binary and they’re all so good
Elf: everyone’s pretty, but has no ass.
Dwarf: everyone’s hairy, but has no ass.
Orc: everyone’s SHREDDED and can crack walnuts between their cheeks.
insane clown posse man was at midwest fur fest in a fucking juggalo fursuit oh my god
Hey so listen,
I don’t like making fun of furries to begin with, especially since they’re not all as bad as a lot of people make them out to be. But definitely, don’t lean on the horn with Violent J.
If you don’t know, Violent J is the leader of Insane Clown Posse. His daughter is a furry. Despite his notoriety, J isn’t rich at all. So you can imagine when his daughter ordered a fur suit and essentially got scammed (which, by the way, as someone who makes stuffed animals from time to time and alters clothes here and there– faux fur is pretty expensive if it’s the good kind. An entire suit out of the shit is a whole ass arm) they were pissed.
So gawk if you want, but just know, Violent J is a supportive dad and I gotta give my props to him. I know I wish my guardian or mom would’ve gotten at least a bit interested when I went to my first anime con. It’s good to see he’s standing behind her like this.
also his suit’s name is Kung Fu Joe and that’s fuckin great
fr anyone who reblogged this being mean will die tonight
Am I the only one whose internet addiction started with my parents not letting me fucking go anywhere
This but I also had no friends so I wouldn’t have anywhere to go if I was allowed
this is a thing! danah boydis a researcher who has been studying social media for over a decade and in her 2014 book it’s complicated she argues that teenage social media “addiction” (which she also contends is like…..not actually a thing) is a result of the fact that “today’s teenagers have less freedom to wander than any previous generation” because “parents argue that these restrictions are necessary in an increasingly dangerous society, even though the data suggest that contemporary youth face fewer dangers than they did twenty years ago.”
as a result, teenagers are reclaiming these lost social spaces (which their parents and grandparents had in the form of mall hangouts, drive-in theaters, after school parking lots, etc) by using social media, where they can continue to “engage in crucial aspects of maturation: self-presentation, managing social relationships, and developing an understanding of the world around them,” aka stuff that teens are Supposed to be doing
a personal thing i wanna add in general is addiction is much less likely to happen in an environment where all your needs are catered to including food, shelter, and companionship. video below is a good watch.
My net addiction-ish thing is more about how I HATE going out, personal reasons why.
was trying to draw a pic of myself sitting in a car trying to drive (keeping in mind i’m supposed to be massive in length, width, and height) but i should have drawn the car first then tried to smoosh me in it.
You drive for hours, watching the gas slowly drain. When will you reach the lights ahead? Will they ever get closer? Anxiously, you change the radio stations. You can only find a fire and brimstone sermon that warps and distorts as though it’s being broadcast from far away, and a static-filled classic country broadcast that seems to only be playing Hello Darling on loop, with no radio host ever interrupting or changing the tune. Pick one, you tell yourself. You’ve listened to the Northwest wind whistle around your car for too long. Sometimes, you think you see another car in the distance, but they never reach you. Sometimes, you think you see movement in the fields, figures standing by the road. You can’t bring yourself to look at the mile marker. You don’t want to know how many times you’ve driven by it.
This is when you find out you were stuck in first gear and you are in the middle of Arizona or Nevada. Sighing, you decide to turn left at Alberquerque.
Real warriors have scars. And warrior women find that pretty damn attractive in each other. It’s a fact.
Hey, do you like Stjepan Sejic’s art and writing? Do you like Wonder Woman to be tall and buff, like an Amazon should be? Do you like Lara Croft to hang out with other adventurer women? Do you like interpersonal tension between badass female characters?
Some dude bro on the internet talking about the new She-Ra reboot: Ugh SJWs are taking over cartoons and making them all preachy. I hate it when shows try to push an agenda on kids. Why can’t they be like they used to be, you know?
Original He-Man, looking straight at the audience: We had a lot of fun here today, but you know what isn’t fun? Judging others based on how they look. Not liking a person because he or she is a different race or religion is wrong. Also, plant a tree, and don’t do drugs.
Lou Scheimer was born to a German Jewish family and believed that his cartoons had a responsibility to teach children kindness and respect for everybody.
Back then there were also MILITANT divides between “boy’s” and “girl’s” entertainment but when he found out He-Man had at least a small following of little girls he pitched the concept of He-Man’s sister She-Ra and was insistent she be as tough a warrior as her brother. He saw that girls actually did like “scary” sword and sorcery and had a WHOLE NEW FUCKING SHOW made so they could feel acknowledged and have a heroine to look up to with her very own series.
Later he would help design a whole new sci-fi fantasy setting with the most creative control he ever had, Bravestarr, and was adamant that the hero be a Native American man, the first ever in a starring role on a kid’s action show. He also wanted Bravestarr to be a positive role model by being a patient, gentle, soft spoken man who abhors violence and avoids using guns at all costs.
These cartoons are remembered as schlocky toy commercials and they ARE entertaining that way but real love went into them by a guy who wanted kids to grow up more sensitive and caring. Some of these same geeks crying about THE SJW’S were raised by even more bluntly progressive media than we’ve almost ever had and they didn’t even know it.
