Sure, when Jesus Christ raises the dead, he's the Lord and Savior. Me, I get told to stop doing necromancy because it's freaking people out.

Wholesome

Are ya winning, Son Gohan?

So uhh, I wanna try making a short story in a (pseudo?) webcomic format.

I just have no clue what or how just that I wanna get philosophical on the nature of clone &/or vampires. also clone angst? And subverting clone angst? Simultaneously?

Any ideas?

Iskell left?

Man I need to catch up with the series.

Have you ever wondered "Hey, which person is this Hermitcraft fanart actually depicting?" and didn't want to just scroll down to read the tags?

Behold. My magnum opus. The Hermitcraft fanart flowchart! Please click for legibillity.

But my blade must be sharp, lest it fail to slay my foe.

I do not respect the grind. Go to bed

Well this makes me mad. Cool toph is the best toph. Why make her into earth kingdom katara? Katara is cool, but in a fundamentally different way.

I mean, if gero never got laid then we wouldn't have any of the main androids. Just eighter, and even that's debatable

Friendly reminder that ​Vegeta getting laid resulted in the current timeline being saved.

I extended the like limit. =[

I've got nothing to add.

Just more governmental inadequacy.

Yeah I don't think even the average conservative voter can defend this one. This is just plain disconnected from reality.

ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.
