this isn’t caricature. is entirely accurate. lol.
“Shrinking Government.” Reblog if you think Women’s History Month is the wrong time for the GOP to start refighting the sexual revolution.
Women’s rights? PFFFF!
It’s excellent timing. Let’s highlight the absurdity.
Fuck you.
No, seriously fuck you. It’s one thing being against racism, which is and always will be idiotic, because blaming or judging someone by a skin colour is simply WRONG.
But it’s completely different thing when you ATTACK people and try to make them feel wrong FOR BEING BORN as you put it nicely ‘white’.
No, FUCK YOU. This campaign is not attacking white people. It is pointing out white people do not see racism because they have white privilege. This ad campaign is not to make white people feel guilty but to make them realize they have an unfair advantage for being born white. Society caters to white people. White people control the government, media, schools, etc.
Fuck you, if you think that me being born with a certain skin colour makes me privileged.
Being born white does give you privilege. We live in a white supremacist society that discriminates against people based on their skin color.
Fuck you, if you think that my life is easier, because of it.
Being born white does give you advantages over PoC. While you may be discriminated against based on class, gender, sexuality, etc. you are not discriminated against for being white.
Fuck you, if you think you’re being against racism when you’re clearly judging me not as a human being, but by MY SKIN COLOUR that happens to be white/fair or whatever the fuck you want to call it.No one is judging you for being white. This ad campaign is telling you to examine your privilege which you desperately need to do. It is not judging you for being white. After this rant we are judging you because you are a racist human being not because you are white.
FUCK YOU, if your only reaction to me accomplishing something is ‘you’re lucky because you’re white’. I work hard for what I have and don’t you dare to tell me it’s because of my colouring.No one is saying you don’t work hard. However you do have an advantage over POC because you are more likely to get jobs, into schools, etc. because you are white. You do have an advantage in a society that privileges white people over POC.
FUCK YOU, for ignoring my whole personal history, problems and hardships by non important, or not traumatic/bad enough because I WAS BORN WITH A LIGHT SKIN COLOUR.You really need to chill the fuck out. No one is ignoring your history or the hardships you face. However, because you are born white you do have an advantage in society. No one is saying you did not have traumatic/bad expereinces because you were born white. All this campaign is saying is you do not see racism because you do not experience it. You do not experience racism for being white.
— and most importantly FUCK YOU if you think that it has done anything to make my life easier, because I assure you. IT DIDN’T.What you’re doing here is still RACISM and I will not sit calmly and let it fly around, so either educate yourselves or stop sprouting bullshit all around the place.
Don’t you dare to make me feel bad because I was born looking like I am.
Don’t you fucking dare.
Racism = power + prejudice. No one is saying your life is a walk in the park because you are white. However, you do have privilege for being white because you do not face discriminated based on your race. You are not discriminated against because you are white. Your life would be harder if you were discriminated against for being white but buddy, you are not. You are not discriminated against for being white. This ad campaign does not discriminated against you and this society does not discriminated against you. Like I said, no one is trying to make you feel bad but you seriously need to shut the fuck up and learn about racism and white privilege. You have a lot of unexamined privileged. So shut the fuck up and educate yourself.
You are an embarrassment to humanity.
since when is it a bad thing to examine the world from someone else’s shoes? this campaign is awesome for insisting on it. even if you feel like an argument is overreacting, especially if you feel like it’s overreacting, you can learn something from the motives behind it. strong emotions are there for a reason. there’s always something to learn if you put aside whatever fear that’s making you defensive. so calm the eff down, think about the argument, examine your own reactions.

Inspired by ppeppina’s beautiful song “Hetki.” As soon as I heard this song, I just had to make an animation for it.
make sure to check out version 2, which has an ending that matches the rest of the animation. it’s spiffy.
Interesting logic…
“You can be straight and still have fun” - gold, pure gold.
In other news, this is the logic we’re up against. The kind that can’t be reasoned with because there’s absolutely no reason behind it.
this facebook convo reminds me of people saying “they were attacked/discriminated against/mistreated because they’re gay” when it’s just not true. in the end, it has nothing to do with a person being gay, it has to do with others being homophobic.
i’m bored so i’m going through blaine’s bedroom
i like to think that the binoculars were something he pulled out the night before in a bitter rage. kurt just barely managed to stop him from tearing them apart to suit his new cyclopsian state.

excited about new software and stylus!
link for this record. for the “and a new earth” typography collab on hitrecord.org. i’ll try to do the line immediately after this one soon.
If we teach women that there are only certain ways they may acceptably behave, we should not be surprised when they behave in those ways.
And we should not be surprised when they behave these ways during attempted or completed rapes.
Women who are taught not to speak up too loudly or too forcefully or too adamantly or too demandingly are not going to shout “NO” at the top of their goddamn lungs just because some guy is getting uncomfortably close.
Women who are taught not to keep arguing are not going to keep saying “NO.”
Women who are taught that their needs and desires are not to be trusted, are fickle and wrong and are not to be interpreted by the woman herself, are not going to know how to argue with “but you liked kissing, I just thought…”
Women who are taught that physical confrontations make them look crazy will not start hitting, kicking, and screaming until it’s too late, if they do at all.
Women who are taught that a display of their emotional state will have them labeled hysterical and crazy (which is how their perception of events will be discounted) will not be willing to run from a room disheveled and screaming and crying.
Women who are taught that certain established boundaries are frowned upon as too rigid and unnecessary are going to find themselves in situations that move further faster before they realize that their first impression was right, and they are in a dangerous room with a dangerous person.
Women who are taught that refusing to flirt back results in an immediately hostile environment will continue to unwillingly and unhappily flirt with somebody who is invading their space and giving them creep alerts.
People wonder why women don’t “fight back,” but they don’t wonder about it when women back down in arguments, are interrupted, purposefully lower and modulate their voices to express less emotion, make obvious signals that they are uninterested in conversation or being in closer physical proximity and are ignored. They don’t wonder about all those daily social interactions in which women are quieter, ignored, or invisible, because those social interactions seem normal. They seem normal to women, and they seem normal to men, because we were all raised in the same cultural pond, drinking the same Kool-Aid.
And then, all of a sudden, when women are raped, all these natural and invisible social interactions become evidence that the woman wasn’t truly raped. Because she didn’t fight back, or yell loudly, or run, or kick, or punch. She let him into her room when it was obvious what he wanted. She flirted with him, she kissed him. She stopped saying no, after a while.
