I feel really ignorant now but I've only recently learned that J. Robert Oppenheimer was Jewish and I'm so disgusted with the discourse on tumblr and twitter now.

"Progressives", start actually acknowledging and being against the genocide of Jewish people challenge.

"Sad white man tears" and it's about a man who was living at the same time his people were being systematically exterminated and was only one generation away from being a Jew in Germany during the Shoah himself, how the fuck do you people live with yourselves?

Some of you wouldn't give a shit that the Shoah happened if they had only murdered Jewish people and it shows.

Oh, it's not just that. He was also terrified that Germany would develop the bomb first. He even knew one of the scientists (Heisenberg)who was working on the German project, and Germany had a head start.

DURING THE FUCKING SHOAH.

like, there are a lot of problems with the development of the nuclear bomb, but oppenheimer openly regretted making the damn thing and called out nuclear proliferation. oppenheimer is not the enemy.

Don’t forget the first victims when you go see Oppenheimer this opening weekend. Unforgivable not to include them in the narrative.

We love us some Nolan and Cillian but this is also a story that should never have taken place.

For further reading:

This is what happens when the US government goes nuclear-crazy during the Cold War and mines a shit ton of uranium. Lambs born with three legs and no eyes, and human stillbirths and agonizing deformities for those that survive. For decades it was referred to as a Navajo-specific hereditary illness. No one made the link to the mines and the drinking water.

Proship this, antiship that. Back in my day, we had sporking. Canon characters would mock fics in an MST3K script style, which was the style at the time...

put that evil back in the fucking box where you found it. we can't go back to those terrible, terrible days

Pretty sure everyone who was on the internet at a certain time just had a cringing flashback.

Listen if we do not recite the Deep Cringe we are doomed to repeat it! Do not spork, young ones. That way lies madness and ruin.

Also, like, it's way more entertaining to read 'bad' fanfic with your friends in private than it is to post something that will hurt someone's feelings and make you wake up in a deep sweat in the dead of night decades later haunted by your fandom sins.

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

if VFX is unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting VFX (do not revel in this. do not glorify striking as an inherent action. let's all just hope that workers get better conditions. also as many have pointed out VFX is an entire sector of production, not just animators. poor wording on my part)

"Dick having no sense of personal space is fanon and--" No, listen, that man absolutely does not give a shit about personal space if he likes you and thinks it would funny, also he had BETTER watch where he is putting those chopsticks because if he gets so much as a crumb on Babs' computer, he will be experiencing Regret.
