Where do you find those pictures? Every time I look for things like that, there are cocks everywhere. It's why I've stopped uploading Pokémon avatars. And I thought looking for FFVII stuff was bad...

Also found this one. Gonna run a few characters through, see what I get.

Me or some one else spazzers?

If me

This is my magical source

But.. it requires japanese privliage.

Acording to Mimi, Zero chan is good at distiling it though, and lacks the cocks.

Cloud keeps scoring really high on these things, due to attractive cis white(? see previous animation issue rants) het male in good shape.

68% on the first one. Whatever that means.

[up]You, yes.

I generally use Zerochan when I can. Really good quality art, and also not full of porn.

Also I think it's mostly fat girls who bear the brunt of the hate

Which brings up another principle I was taught:

Intersectionality. It's a neologism, whatever.

Basically, it asserts that there is no hierarchy of oppression and that everyone has elements of privilege and oppression in their lives, whether they can help it or not.

This shapes who we are and how we meld into the world around us.

For instance, say that I'm Jewish. Jews are still widely hated in many parts of the world.

Yet I am white. Being white is generally a privilege in Western countries.

However, let's say my friend is also Jewish, but he is also black.

That speaks for itself.

However, he is also heterosexual, whereas I am homosexual.

Yea, I use Pixiv, its where the Booru's and Zerochan source from and I can actualy understand it.

It is quite easy to find pokemon stuff though even if you dont speak japanese, just brows to the wikia, find the japanese name, and paste it into the search bar... it wont be as precise but pokemon is large enough most results will be relevent. :)

There is some 18+ stuff on there, but it is all labled, and will NOT display by default.

Safebooru is where alot of WAOA players search from, and in an emergency Gelbooru and Danbooru both have tags you can use to exclude any thing that is NSFW, but I do not know what the tag is off the top of my head, sorry.

Small secret, if you want art for an OC, search Pixiv Fantasia, its a popular and re-occuring thing, and the art that comes out is bloody beutiful.

Right, makes a lot more sense than the silly, US-centric oppression flapjack stack.

Also, according to das test, Dr. Breen is 74% Privileged. Doing Shinji next, betting his living situation will bump him down a few pegs.

@Imca: I actually have a Pixiv account. I need to visit more often, 'cuz their Eva and Mega Man selections are boss.

I actually learned it from my history class's section on the progressive movement, and I was p appalled when I found out what Tumblr had mutated it into.

I hear so many MRA use tumbler as an insult that I have a hard time believing it is bad, but I trust you folks....

What exactly is wrong with it? Is it not just the "Oh shit they dont think about dah men" It constantly seems like from there "debates"... or is it an actual problem?

It's hard to say.

I'd generally like to believe they have a point... at least some of them.

My general philosophy with that kind of thing is that there are kernels of truth in every argument.

However... I find many of their assertions hard to swallow.

Learned from my kickass government teacher, who should be paid way more than he probably gets. It's not often you have a teacher that actually changes the way you think and make decisions.

Found a Buzzfeed one. I feel this is worth mentioning because at the bottom it advertised "27 Most Powerful Photos of Guy Fieri Pointing At Things".

No, I did not make that up as a jab at Buzzfeed. That's an actual list they have.

@Imca: It's because half the time their arguments are batshit insane, and they'll go to incredible lengths to find things to be offended at, no matter how innocuous it is. EVERYTHING is a privilege to them, or has a right to be defended. Up to and including paedophilia.

@Imca: In a nutshell, it's straight, white, affluent kids pretending like they have oppression somehow (claiming to be a sexual minority for liking yaoi, for instance) and then going and speaking for all the people who actually are oppressed. Basically, all the spoiled deviantART kids grew up and completely misinterpreted what they heard in their social sciences classes.

There are some very articulate, reasonable people who are on there, and there are some decent arguments, but from what I've seen, a lot of this subset's so-called "gay acceptance" stems from them objectifying and fetishizing gay relationships in media, which in my opinion, is a very misguided way to approach a good cause.

That too.

The trouble is most of them have no goddamn idea what they're talking about, and when they try to pretend they do it comes across as offensive and damaging and, well, "problematic".

So in a sense, it is the very thing I hate about MRA's applied to the other side of the table, pretending to have issues for sympathy points, and detracting from real issues?

If so, thank you for explaining it. :)

An argument I get a lot is IF U HAT YAOI UR A HOMOFOB. Nevermind that apart from a lot of yaoi being dumb bullshit that shows little respect for the source material and being shoddily written anyway, it's just a little bit offensive maybe that they seem to think all real gay relationships fall into neat little seme-uke categories and they all have the same damn interchangeable personalities, and some dumbass twelve year-old is trying to tell me that this is how gay people are and I'm a monster for not accepting it. I personally would be mad as hell if someone tried to fight for heteronormative couples by presenting all het relationships where the man of the house is emotionally detached and Always Right and can't be bothered to look at his family and the woman is a smiling, happy, cooking, cleaning, baby-making machine that stays home all the time.

Or, even better, they'll go off on you for not liking kawaii desu gay couples but when presented with actual gay people they'll go off on them for doing it wrong. Or they'll support gays but be disgusted and homophobic against lesbians. That's quite common, too. They don't support gay people, they support their fetish.

Lesson learned:

Acceptance = good

Whacking off to offensive stereotypes under the guise of acceptance = bad
