Reblogging again for my inflation artist followers. XDDD

This is absolutely the most unnecessary addition to this post you could have ever made.

“save the children” is an alt-right dogwhistle and I really need y’all to accept that

Oh so the newest dog whistle we are to view is dangerous is… “Children should be protected”

…. Do yall just stop and think? Like what can justify yourself?

The idea behind protecting children is to protect society’s most vulnerable, what then motives you? Other than to out right say that children are not as vunerable as adults of certain demographics. Certain demographics that are just able and intelligent as any other. If thats the case then you truely haved warped your prespective and then have to ask yourself, is what I believe leading me to rational conclusions?

“Won’t somebody think of the children?” is a textbook example of an appeal to emotion, one of the most blatant of logical fallacies. Specifically, it’s an appeal to emotion which relies on whichever moral panic is hip, happening and groovy at the moment. In the 50s we had (among others) the Lavender Menace and the Red Scare. In the 60s we had hippies. In the 80s we had the Satanic Panic. The 90s gave us a fresh new iteration of “gays can’t be teachers.” Now we’ve got panics over the existence of trans people and critical race theory and antifacism.

“Won’t somebody think of the children” is literally the basis of the F*urteen W*rds, you pair of wet socks on a cold day.** It is the call to action which points the white supremacist and the fascist toward queers, POC and Jews, among others.

It’s not just an alt-right dog-whistle, but it IS an alt-right dog whistle, in much the same way that the existence of green apples does not disprove the existence of red ones.

If you don’t recognize and account for things like the very basic appeal to emotion fallacy, and we do, I think it’s fairly clear who is approaching things rationally here, bud, and it ain’t you.

So yeah, bud, that’s totally what is being said here. 🙄 To react the way you did is to admit it’s your emotions being spoken to, because if it was your logical brain, you’d be able to go “oh, hunh, yeah, I can totally see how people would phrase their appeals that way if they were trying to get me to disregard any sort of critical thinking and jump into action at their command, therefore, when I see such an appeal I shall have to be very careful to not go off half-cocked but to instead treat these arguments much more carefully.” If you’re not aware that yes, the alt-right uses this specific appeal to emotion in order to manipulate people, and not just them but “gender crits,” pro-censorship movements of all stripes, and Q-Anon, among others, then you’re gonna get taken in by it.

It is possible to be rationally concerned for the welfare of children without using the appeal to emotion to demonize minorities and surf from election to election on moral panics like a lot of politicians do, but that’s not what this post is talking about. This post is literally talking about the fact that the alt-right does use this tactic in order to make people abandon rational thought and do what they’re told.

Sucks that you’re so vulnerable to that logical fallacy tho, that you attack someone for reminding you that it exists and is frequently used in modern politics. Best of luck with that, there, pal.

** I ain’t spelling that out and making it even vaguely searchable on my Tumblr.

“wow, so the newest dogwhistle is (insert innocuous-sounding thing here)?” yeah its almost as if thats how dogwhistles work? theyre SUPPOSED to sound completely fine to those who dont know what’s going on to provide plausible deniability, thats the entire point

it's always ethical to pirate DND content by the way

hi!!! to be clear: i play and love many many TTRPGs other than dnd. i also play and love DND. please don’t assume someone talking about DND means they haven’t tried or don’t enjoy other systems; there’s a whole world of fantastic RPGs out there outside dnd for sure but they aren’t mutually exclusive. dnd is, however, the one whose shit you can most ethically pirate. you can always steal from wizards of the coast. it’s always morally correct.

this is the kind of porn the twitter refugee tumblr expats will have to make do with now

if a piece of media is bad but it’s clear that the people who made it poured their souls into it and were wholeheartedly trying to make something they care about, I will love that a THOUSAND times more than any smooth-polished focus-tested board-room approved $500mil budget movie. those things are just informercials for empire and capital. boring snooze could not care less. unironically we need more bad art made by genuinely earnest people who just wanted to create something

you heard of the academic icarus, now get ready for:

  • Academic Achilleus: your argument is pretty indisputable and strong- except for that one weak spot that could take it (and you) to the grave.
  • Academic Ulysses: you are soooo close to your conclusion but somehow something always leads you astray. you have been writing this paper for what feels like 10 years. the gods are against you
  • Academic Sisyphus: You have deleted and rewritten this paragraph numerous times. it still does not work out. you delete it again.

and may I also interest you in:

  • Academic Tantalus: You found the perfect source online. You click on it, all information you need in reach. it turns out to be behind a paywall.
  • Academic Pandora: You open your inbox. there are 7 unread e-mails.
  • Academic Paris: You had to make one (1) judgement call. your choice seemed good back then. it does not seem good now.

Academic Cassandra: You got all the facts right and drew the right conclusions, but you got marked down for minor details like spelling, grammar, or formatting.

i hate it when someone asks me what my favorite work of art is because i can't say "the one of the woman chilling on the rocks with a dragon lying in her lap and giving off powerful big dick energy" but how else am i supposed to describe it
