you know that stage you went through where you hated being a girl and you just resented yourself and everything having to do with girly things because you were so sick of pink and barbies being pushed on you so you like full force rejected that shit and you were just so full of hate and vitriol at anything even the slightest bit “girly” yeah gender norms will fuck you up
the message u get from society is like “hey this is stuff that weak, vulnerable and uninteresting people wear. and that’s you! enjoy!”
At one time, one of Toothless’s animator stuck a ball of duct-tape on his own cat’s tail for reference which ended up perfect for this shot. (actual footage of his cat he used)
Okay, I realize this hilariously late for Asexuality Awareness Week (which was last week), but due to unforeseen stressors, it didn’t really get done in time.
Anyway! I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while, and I’m proud of myself of actually getting a six page comic done within a week. (Not that it’s really anything super fancy, but it’s better than nothing lol) I do apologize for the massive ugly text wall that is page four but I had a hard time figuring out how to convey it visually while being kind of pressed for time. oh and the occasional copy/paste, I’m sorry for that too
Enjoy! Click on the separate pictures if the text is hard to read.
The frog at 18 seconds sounds horrified of the cat.
I’m dead
WHAT THE FUCK ARE GOATS
GOATS AREN’T REAL
The dog at 39 seconds sounds like a human screaming so hypothetically you could murder a guy and blame the screams on your dog when the neighbours ask.
People who legitimately think that a white person, no matter what the location or the context, can never experience racism, genuinely make me want to throw up. The logic used there is some kind of astounding combination of mental gymnastics combined with made up terminology bullshit to fit the ‘Us vs. Them’ agenda/way of thought.
There’s a term I learned in the military, but I’m sure most people are familiar with it: K.I.S.S., or Keep it simple, stupid. Racism is simple to define, simple to spot. When you judge or in any way negatively affect someone based on the color of their skin or their racial origins, then that’s racism. That’s it. All this other stuff is arbitrary semantics and accomplishes absolutely nothing in the end. Seriously, how many innocent black kids have you saved from being wrongfully murdered by cops by spending hours arguing on the internet that Irish people can’t experience oppression because they’re white. For real. Oh yeah, you sure showed that white girl wearing a sticker bindi for a project her Indian friend started how evil and oppressive she is. Looks like you stopped another genocide, go you! (I would like to say that thanks to CC, I learned a whole lot more about the Bindi and Indian culture than I ever might have otherwise, which is pretty neat)
It’s times like this where I whole-heartedly miss listening to something like 2 Sense, where it made fun of all this stuff before SJWs were even a thing. I can’t even laugh at ‘white people’ jokes anymore because it doesn’t sound like they’re coming from a place of self-depreciating humor, it’s just grossly disguised hate.
I can’t picture anyone daydreaming about me. I can’t picture someone thinking about me when they’re laying in bed before they fall asleep. I can’t picture anyone telling their friends about me. I can’t picture anyone getting butterflies because I hugged them, or even just because I made eye contact with them. I can’t picture someone smiling because my name lit up their phone. I just can’t.
