my fav type of dirkjohn is dirkjohn filled with like… absolutely juvenile, petty, pigtail pulling on the playground levels of bullshit an nonsense

dirk breaks into johns house just to eat his leftovers and to give 5 star ratings to softcore gay porn on john’s netflix account and screw up his recommendation algorithm

john uses his windy powers to get into dirk’s house undetected, and every day for three weeks systematically moves his furniture one quarter of an inch to the left

dirk takes to re-arranging all of the clothes in john’s dresser so he can never find the shirt he’s looking for

john leaves water balloons in dirk’s mailbox which don’t actually accomplish anything but rolling onto the pavement and bouncing away gently and dirk has to go pick them up like a dumbass because its technically littering

dirk leaves a single slice of brooklyn style pizza tucked snugly underneath john’s windshield wiper like a leaflet 

neither of them can explain why they’re doing this or what it accomplishes when prompted, and everyone around them is disgusted at their weirdass 6th grade level black-red flirting

The idea that racism will die out with the white baby boomers is a myth perpetuated by white millennials who do not want to take action and responsibility for calling out racism in their own generation. White millennials are not inherently less racist than white baby boomers and racism does not disappear with a generation. Racism is a construct that exists in all aspects of society, from politics to economics to social norms and activities. It can only be eradicated with constant and fervent dismantling of these powerful constructs in place and new generations must keep working at it. I’ve heard too many fellow white people say that when all these ‘racist old people’ die off then we’ll be fine but we all know that racism is not limited to old white people and that the alt-right is littered with white millennials. Check your friends and family on bigoted and racist remarks. Be a good ally. Sitting back for old people to die is not good allyship and you’ll soon see that they are not the only racists in power.

In short: Racism will not die on it’s own… we have to actively kill it.

you: excessive and incorrect use of commas

me—an intellectual: excessive and incorrect use of m dashes

me, a pseudo-intellectual: both, if at all possible—and it’s always possible

me, a showoff: both of those – but, and this is important; it is never the wrong time to use a semicolon

there are many wrong times to use a semicolon actually and that last comment is a great example

Okay, so it feels like this is getting shared because it’s “cringe” stuff, but I’ve actually watched the video, so let me set the record straight. 

The video is here, and it is both a rant and a speedpaint. You get to watch her traditionally create that picture in the thumbnail. 

The girl shares a story of how first it was her brother who drew in the anime style. Whose teachers told him that he didn’t have any talent and wasn’t good enough for an art school.That his art wasn’t good because he uses references(even though the teachers forced them to use references and even collect references as an assignment) and the anime style.They literally crushed his dreams, making him stop drawing altogether, thinking he was ‘uncreative’.  

Then she shares her own experiences, of working with the teachers that already crushed her brother. One even didn’t like her because he found out she was the little sister of the guy before. How they would humiliate her in front of the class. And loudly shout things like ‘give me one good reason I shouldn’t fail you right now!” while giving every other student constructive criticism, even though she didn’t use the anime style on the thing(Like a still-life of objects)

And even non-art related incidents. Like when she was the only person not talking in a class, and the teacher screamed at her to ‘Shut up!’. This same teacher also tried to fail her on an assignment she hadn’t given(Artist girl was being tutored at home because her brother had cancer, and the teacher wouldn’t send her the assignments.

And then she mentions the ‘senior showcase’ which is a thing to show off your art. She wasn’t allowed to do that. She also wasn’t allowed to take AP Art classes, even though she had all the prerequisites. Meanwhile, another student got into the class without prerequisites. 

She talks about not only her and her brother, but mentions that other people had asked about it on her TWITCH streams, as it had happened to them. And I must remind y’all, this was HIGH SCHOOL teachers who did this stuff, not fancy-schmancy art colleges. She mentions that her problem with this is that teachers are supposed to help kids with their future. They should be encouraging, and yes they should try and help them get outside their comfort zone, but they shouldn’t tell kids to give up on their dreams. 

She then mentions that she thinks about ‘how I would have taught a high school art class’, and mentions things her teachers did instead of teach. Like sat in the corner and done their own personal art instead of helping the class. 

She thinks teachers should be encouraging and try to help them achieve their dreams. And tbh that’s what their literal job is. She then mentions her college-level art classes, who actually walked around and helped the class improve, instead of sitting around and telling high school kids that they suck. 

Tbh, I’m glad that most my high school art teachers were encouraging. They understood that I liked the ‘anime’ style, but didn’t tell me not to do it, just only to do it if they don’t give a specific ‘style’ to draw in. You know, don’t do ‘anime’ if you’re supposed to draw realism, but if the only thing for your assignment is ‘draw whatever using oil pastels’, go ahead. My other art teacher was a terrible person overall, not just with art.

remember kiddos, your art teacher might have very good reasons for not letting you do anime for your class projects, but that doesn’t give them an excuse to be abusive. if you feel like your art teacher is judging your art based on how they feel about you as a person, you should get someone else involved!

feminism never taught me to hate men but it did help me realize that i shouldn’t prioritize them over women & it turns out that alot of men consider that to be hatred lmao.

So if you were in a room with two prisoners; a man and a woman, you’d never met, and the gender neutral soldier with the big gun told you to kill one of them, you’d automatically shoot the man?

tag yourselves I’m the gender neutral soldier with the big gun

i mean obviously this premise makes no sense and has nothing to do with literally anything based anywhere even in proximate distance to reality but sure, yeah, in a dystopian world where i’m put in a room with two prisoners and a gender neutral soldier with a big gun tells me i have to shoot one of them i’m definitely shooting the man if for no other reason than i’m on more equal footing if i have to hand-to-hand combat a woman, just like, size-wise

Ok but what if the woman is like Brienne of Tarth sized and the guy is like pre-serum Steve Rogers sized? I think we need to consider every angle of this very strategically. There’s no room for error here.

GOOD point. my reasoning is based on a fallacy of body stereotypes. given no other information about these two individuals other than gender, even assuming that lietliet is wrongly equating gender with sex, it’s impossible to know which of the two would be the more take downable in hand-to-hand combatant. i was assuming that both prisoners were at their most emaciated and unwell, just based off of being held captive in a room where a stranger is coming in to shoot them for no reason.

even correcting for this, however, i think i still shoot the man because studies have shown that in a single-instance social dilemma, women are more cooperative than men, and in mixed-sex groups men are less cooperative than women. therefore, i want a woman on my single-instance social dilemma team.

i mean i know it sounds harsh but that’s just science

I mean, is no one gonna suggest shooting the gender neutral soldier when they’re unprepared and taking the man and woman and running like hell? I cannot be the only one who thought of that. Cause yeah, they have massive guns and all, but they probably wouldn’t expect you to shoot them so you’d even have the element of surprise on your side. This way you don’t have to shoot either of your fellow prisoners and also, fuck you gender neutral soldier. I do what I want.

of course i CONSIDERED shooting the gender neutral soldier but ultimately the question we are considering is “do you shoot the man or the woman” not “how do you get out of this situation,” which, while a natural extension of the original premise, goes beyond our perimeters and is therefore an irrelevant answer. we are, after all, trying to understand which gender we shoot, not which person we shoot.

were we to broaden the scope of our inquiry to allow for a wider array of possible answers, then in order to truly and appropriately consider shooting the gender neutral soldier we would need a host of additional information, including but not limited to:

• how many other soldiers are there present?
  
• are we in some kind of facility?
• what kinds of possibility of escape actually exist? is use of force and surprise the best method, or should we take the long view and act in a way that gains their trust?
• why was i chosen to shoot the prisoners? am i a prisoner myself? or–and we cannot ignore this possibility–am i, too, a soldier? is the gender neutral soldier my CO? 
• are all the soldiers in this army gender neutral? that wouldn’t affect my decision-making, i’m just curious.

again–i see what you’re all saying. but ultimately you are answering a different question than the one posed to you.
