oh my god

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

where's the college aus that are still set in history anyways. let your blorbos get involved in the st scholastica day riot of 1355

#college au from pre like. 1880s. your blorbo gets expelled for being catholic. your blorbo get sent home to the farm bc of the plague (tags are op's)

I love memetic communication when it gets to the point of being incomprehensible because can you imagine showing someone this picture

And asking them what Greek god it represents

#my favourite part is the people in the notes being like 'the god of children's hospitals' to be contrary#because the ball is Red#bc like. do. do they know what one of Apollo's areas of Being The God Of This Thing are?#healing and diseases#also he's like#the god of Youths#so like.yeah.#Apollo IS the god of children's hospitals actually Via @mothmammoth​

Dragons. You agree, reblog

You don’t have to be a perfect writer to start working on your story. You’ll learn so many things as you go. The most important thing is to actually start.

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.

I went to Elfia this weekend and made some doodles. It was great fun (: Worth the 2-year-wait! (oh i'm also on fiverr by the way since i finally made one. better 6+ years late than never am i right)

Flat earthers will never experience this

make that globussy SQUART!

fuck you

horny?! On Tumblr?!? FOR FREE??? clearly you know nothing about me pick your lane and get fucked in it

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:

and may I also interest you in:

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.

Petition for a comic that’s just the Joker vs. a bunch of frighteningly competent normal arse clowns who have gone temporarily vigilante for the sole purpose of taking the Joker down for his repeated violations of the clown code.

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

this is the definition of living deliciously

me: why are you destroying earth!!!

aliens: because theres people who think that english is the only language they need to speak

For some reason I find this all the more amusing because it’s written in English

ich: warum zerstört ihr die erde!!!

aliens: weil es leute gibt die glauben dass englisch die einzige sprache ist die sie sprechen müssen

ich: das ist fair ich verstehe

ég: af hverju eyðileggið þið jörðina!!! aliens: af því að það er fólk sem finnst að enska sé sú eina tungumál sem þau þurfa að tala ég: oh, það er vit í þessu. ég skil.

ik: waarom vernietig je de aarde!!!

aliens: omdat er mensen zijn die denken dat engels de enige taal is die ze hoeven te spreken

ik: oh zo, ik snap het

minä: miks te tuhootte maapalloo?

alienit: koska tääl on ihmisiä joitten mielestä englanti on ainoo kieli jota niitten täytyy puhua

minä: toi on reilua, ymmärrän

私: どうして地球を滅ぼしているんですか？

宇宙人: 英語しか喋る必要がないと思う人がいるからです

我：你们为什么在毁灭地球?！！

外星人：因为有人以为他们只会英语就可以了

我：懂了，说得有道理

ako: bakit niyo sinisira ang mundo!!!

taga-ibang planeta: kasi merong mga taong akala nila Ingles lang ang kailangan nilang matutunang lenggwahe

ako: ah, sige naiintindihan ko

Aku : kenapa kau hancurkan bumi!!! Alien : karena masih banyak orang berpikir hanya bahasa inggris satu-satunya bahasa yang terpenting Aku : oh, oke lah..

tôi: tại sao các người hủy diệt trái đất!!! người ngoài hành tinh: bởi vì có người nghĩ rằng tiếng Anh là thứ tiếng duy nhất mà họ cần biết tôi: ồ thế thì tôi hiểu

Eu: Por que vocês estão destruindo a Terra?! Aliens: Porque há pessoas que pensam que o inglês é a única língua que eles precisam falar. Eu: Isso é justo, eu entendo.

jag: varför förintar ni jorden!!!

utomjordingar: för det finns folk som tror att engelska är det ända språket de behöver kunna

jag: rimligt, jag förstår

Já: Proč ničíte Zemi?

Mimozemšťani: Protože tu jsou lidé, kteří si myslí, že angličtina je jediný jazyk, který potřebují znát

Já: To je fér, to chápu.

ja: dlaczego niszczycie Ziemię?

kosmici: ponieważ są ludzie, którzy myślą, że angielski to jedyny język, którego potrzebuję

ja: rozumiem, w porządku

io: perchè state distruggendo la terra!!!

alieni: perchè ci sono delle persone che credono che l’inglese sia l’unica lingua di cui hanno bisogno

io: capisco, mi sembra giusto

Yo: porqué estás destruyendo la tierra!?!?

Extraterrestre: porque hay personas quienes creen que inglés es la única lengua que se tiene que hablar.

Yo: te entiendo, es justo.

Я: Почему вы уничтожаете Землю?!?! Инопланетяне: Потому что есть люди, которые считают, что им нужно говорить только по-английски. Я: А, ну понятно, тогда ладно!

This is like the side-by-side plates of the Lord’s Prayer in the historical linguistics textbook except so much better

This is the most educational shitpost I’ve ever seen

אני: למה אתם משמידים את כדור הארץ??

חייזר: כי יש אנשים שחושבים שאנגלית היא השפה היחידה שצריך לדבר בה

אני: הבנתי, הוגן

me: cur terram deletis

advenae: quid homines sunt qui anglicam lingaum solam loqui necesse est opinant

me: est aequum intellego
