INCORRECT HTTYD

@incorrect-httyd

Just call me Toothless lol swear i'm not a kinnie or furry though. Not a minor.
Current interests: Stranger Things, The Witcher books and games, HTTYD

saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as "girl math" ......why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop

at this point i also take issue with those tweets/posts that are of the genre “girls were meant to sit in their bed with treats and do nothing all day” it was fun and #relatable maybe the first few times but it’s really just feeding into this weird mass objectification and dehumanization of women going on all over every social media platform now

The vegan to ecofascist pipeline

Actually I'm going to expand on the steps of the pipeline.

It starts with:

"I want to do something to better the environment". A noble pursuit.

Then, "Large scale animal agriculture is bad for the environment". Accurate statement.

Then, "Therefore, I am going to stop consuming all animal products and biproducts." A lofty goal, but still reasonable. It's not something that's for everyone, but if that's what you want to do to do your part, more power to you.

Then, "If I can do it, so can you." Inaccurate. The human body is suited ideally for an omnivorous lifestyle. While the human body is very adaptable, its adaptability varies from person to person, and not everyone is able to subsist off of a vegan lifestyle.

Then, "People who don't follow my lifestyle are maliciously contributing to climate change." We're going into dangerous 'us vs. them' territory now. Now everyone who consumes animal products and biproducts even utilyzes large-scale animal agriculture, and there are myriad of reasons for someone to not be vegan. Personal lifestyle choices are also a distraction from the larger issue at hand, which is that corporations contribute the most to climate change, and blaming yourself and other individuals is a distraction.

Then, "Human beings are responsible for climate change. Humans are inherently destructive." False. Corporations and industrialization is responsible for climate change. Humans are inherently neutral, and for the most part are actually good.

Then, "If there were less people on this Earth, we would have less climate change and pollution." And there we are. At the ecofascism finish line.

Not every vegan ends up at the ecofascist finish line. Many vegans stay comfortably on the third rung of the ladder, focusing on their own personal boundaries and lifestyle choices. However, as soon as you dip your toes into the "if I can do it, so can you" mentality, that's when the ball begins rolling down the slippery slope of ecofascism.

As soon as you begin forcing your lifestyle onto other people, that's when it becomes dangerous.

I need a definition of 'forcing your lifestyle'. Am I allowed to exist in public spaces as a vegan as long as I'm apologetic about it? Can I go to the grocery store and gag at the dead animals section or is that forcing someone somewhere somehow to do something?

No, you can't go to the grocery store and gag at the meat section. That's incredibly rude.

I'm Jewish. I'm also vegetarian. I personally think shellfish and crustaceans are gross. I'm not going to go to the grocery store just to make a display of being grossed out about it.

It's also interesting that you would gag at dead animals. If you truly cared about animals, you would respect their bodies and not make a show of being disgusted at their corpses. If you view all meat as corpses, then treat them with the respect you would give a corpse. If you think animal slaughter is equivalent to the murder of a human, then why don't you treat dead animals with the same respect you would show a human corpse? Would you walk into a mortuary and make a scene of being disgusted at the sight of the corpses? I would hope the answer is no.

In Judaism, for example, it is required to bury the blood of a slaughtered animal, to respect the animal even if it is going to be used in death. Many other cultures have similar values.

You don't actually care about animals, because you treat their deaths as a spectacle. And I say this as a vegetarian, but I've seen far more meat eaters actually respect the animal they consume than I've seen "animal rights activists" actually respect and value animals.

the fact two of these are masculine women... die actually

like seriously this shit is getting so transparent. feminine women rushing to the few depictions of masculine and gender non-conforming female characters that exist and calling it a problem (and this is about period dramas! these women would have been, or actually were, putting their entire reputation as women on the line omfg!!!). if self-assured confident women who don’t wear pink frills and have aspirations outside of marriage makes you feel insecure then idk analyse that it’s your own problem

Also class bastard thing: if you have no way of knowing what time you were actually born because there's no record or the record was inaccessible, congrats, you are now officially born at whatever time of the day you like. Change it as much or as little as you want.

something im noticing is the redditors are just commenting on everything via reblogs with reckless abandon. and its so funny bc thats how youre MEANT to use this fucking website but we've trained ourselves out of it somehow.

I feel like a fucking chimp raised in a lab let out into the wild and just doing shit without understanding wtf is going on because I was raised to click the button to get cookie

Honestly we could use an influx of people actually commenting. The hostility against speaking above a low mutter was starting to get kind of weird. Like yeah tag talk is great but so many of the "hello, newcomers!" posts straight up say to NEVER comment, like...what? It's making this place feel empty and quiet even though the userbase is climbing, and having that as a norm makes it so a disproportionate amount of comments are left by people who either actively want to be annoying or are socially oblivious, instead of people who...want to particulate in their community. I've definitely noticed an increase recently of people constricting discussion to tags in ways that pretty much deadend conversation, like by chattily responding to conversation starters from my tags in their own tags instead of by copying my tags and responding.

Between how super long posts don't get blockquote-constricted into invisibility anymore AND how the new site settings mean people see tags on their posts unless they go out of their way not to instead of the other way around... Why are we living like this. It's lonely! Let's talk to each other!

I like it when people comment or reblog and add to it, I like hearing their ideas and it makes me feel like I'm not shouting into the void.

More fat characters who are complex heroes, serious love interests, funny without mentioning their weight, brooding anti-heroes, compelling antagonists, random bystanders without comments toward their looks

Four hands are shown, each holding the wrist of another to create a square. The hands are labelled ‘trans people’, ‘fat people’, ‘disabled people’, and ‘POC’ (counter-clockwise from upper left.). The text in the space bwteen the hands reads ‘Any attraction felt towards us or by us is labelled as a fetish by people outside our communities who claim to be allies but in actuality just see us as somehow lesser and therefor undeserving of our own bodily and sexual autonomy’.

twilight princess funniest zelda game ever made

one of the reoccurring minor plots is that a 3 year old with the mental capacity of an adult is trying to abolish capitalism in the big city. there's a yeti couple living in an abandoned mansion and the guy yeti is like 10 times the size of and more visibly monstrous than the girl yet they made him a malewife. you can collect insects for a little girl that is insane about them and gives you strange and off-putting dialogue about each bug everytime you give her one and practically threatens you if you try to leave her home without giving her bugs she doesn't have yet. one of the modes of transportation in this game is being shot out of a giant canon by a depressed clown and landing on your feet with no injuries. there's a spaghetti western style minigame where the objective is to talk to 20 different cats. a chicken attempts to flirt with link. they made tingle into a sexyman caricature.

i completely forgot about ooccoo while making this post. this fucking thing:

and, of course, her son too

i have to be real i fucking hate that post. im dead serious. i do not like that its being circulated around again because its always just been an in for people to be ableist to me about a brain condition that i cant help. the person who declared it a 'world heritage post' did so without my permission and i just attempted to contact them to get their reblog of it removed. i wish they had contacted me beforehand because now im just getting more people in my inbox making fun of me for my inability to be coherent. it is extremely insulting.

like theres a reason i deleted the original post. i didnt want anyone to reblog it anymore. i had people literally going out of their way to laugh at me for my 'funny brain condition' and i was getting sick and tired of this. i have stated i dont appreciate this post getting spread around, like i dont know. it has to be at least five times now. and still it follows me everywhere. my aphasia isnt a joke. i didnt realize i had it at the time. dont reblog that post anywhere if you see it in the wild for my own safety and mental wellbeing.

If you say "art" people just think paintings in museums, if you say "media" it's too vague and clinical, if you say "content" you sound like a YouTube terms and conditions corpo-ghoul, if you say "crafts", plural, it sounds like you mean macaroni art and hand turkeys, if you say "craft", singular, you sound like you sell pussy candles and migratory bird feathers on Etsy, if you say "creative expression" you sound like a lotion-handed Human Resources weasel straight out of a Mike Judge cartoon. How have we managed to completely drain the linguistic well when it comes to discussing individual and collective cultural creativity, aka Capital A Art. It's dire!
