You could summarize the first 5 episodes of the shows as bad things attack earth and main character is a depressed teenager who doesn’t want to do anything because he sad.
how insecure in your religion do you have to be that you won’t even let your kid learn basic history about other religions for a history class??? I bet she has the let me speak to the manager haircut
smh…. white people trying to be oppressed so bad, this is embarrassing….
The racial majority of China is fucking pale. Can people really not understand the concept of people with pale skin who aren’t caucasian?
And the comic isn’t about being oppressed in any way. Sunburns aren’t oppressive and the comic doesn’t portray them that way. Does your mind just calculate in oppression now? Is that its only function?
It’s a great comic that I can definitely relate to from personal experience. It’s meant to be a joke, not a political statement.
pale people: i get sunburn sometimes
tumblr: omg WHY DO YOU WANNA BE OPPRESSED SO BAD THO
i just discovered the term ‘black knighting’ courtesy of reddit and i want to vomit :)
i can never believe how much men hate women. it just keeps getting worse and worse
I’ve never heard of that. Is it new? And what is it? I have a bad suspicion… :(
no idea how new it is, as i typically avoid reddit like the plague (but i discovered this term through the link to the gendercritical subreddit)
“A Black Knight is someone who pisses women off for entertainment.“ as opposed to a White Knight aka someone that stands up for women in order to try and get sex :/
here are some excerpts, courtesy of theredpill
on the subject of a woman walking away from you at night: “I’m just a man who decided to run an errand at night. Next time this happens jog after her. There is no law against jogging. Chase her for a while and then stop. Enjoy the fear you created. Woof woof you stupid cunt.”
on the subject of what they called “biological warfare”: “How do you exploit these two weaknesses? Start baking for the office. See how much butter and sugar you can make the little piggies eat. With sustained effort everyone will be up ten pounds in three to six months.”
“Fructose has various nasty biological effects when consumed in excess. Main ones we are interested in are raised blood trigs, adiposity and increased appetite (outside of normal insulin fuckery, but related).“
“Try replacing the fructose with a sugar alcohol like sorbitol. For a portion of the population, it causes “gastric distress” - diarrhea and gas, mostly.”
another story that im gonna paraphrase: guy didnt like his female boss, she was stressed over a project, someone “accidentally” sent flowers to the wrong desk- to HER boss- with a note saying “the interview went great and we look forward to working with you next month!” to make it look like she was secretly searching for another job. she got fired within the week.
using the womans bathroom at starbucks, which one man described as “empowering in a red pill way” because of course most women are going to look confused if not upset… clearly beyond the red piller to imagine reasons a man might enter a womans restroom besides to go to the bathroom
some things fairly innocuous like leaving empty condom wrappers in womens restrooms and stuff…. to intentionally trying to intimidate women, getting a woman fired, etc. men harassing women in various ways, “for teh lulz” i guess.
We could never hate men as much as they hate us.
Andrea Dworkin recommended for the women of the 21st century to harden our hearts and learn to kill. Perhaps she was right.
women who hate men want to distance ourselves from men, have our own communities, when women hate men, we want to get away from men. When men hate women they do the exact opposite, they invade our spaces, harass us, intimidate us, stalk us, are violent against us. It doesn’t matter how much women hate men, we don’t hate men the way they hate us.
As requested by a couple of people, here is the copy of the actual Pottermore quiz that will break down how much of each house you identify with at the end of the quiz. And before you say “omg, that equals to more than a hundred percent!” this quiz works a little differently than most. Instead of questions that are like “"this" answer is the Slytherin one and “this” answer is the clearly Hufflepuff one” I believe that the questions work more like “this option gets you 5 points for Slytherin, this one gets you 4, this one gets you 3 to add up at the end” etc for all the houses, so they’re like “how much is this a _blank house_ thing to do” which is probably a more accurate representation than the former option.
Example: My results were 82% Slytherin and 79% Ravenclaw, so I’d probably be one of the ones that the sorting hat took my preference into account, since I’m almost equally both. ;)
fuck soulja boy cant even get narutos birthday right that asshole
FUCK THE HATERS!!!!! SOULJA BOY IS IN THE UNITED STATES!!!! AT THE TIME OF THE TWEET IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OCTOBER 10TH IN JAPAN!!!!!!!!! SOULJA BOY IS CONSIDERATE FUCK ALL OF YOU!!!!!
Alright sit your butts down, ladies, gentlemen, and all other configurations of being. I’m about to tell you why this latest episode of Steven Universe turned Pearl from probably my least favorite character in the show to one of my favorite characters of anything.
So now that we know that Pearls are mass produced on Homeworld, we know that Pearls are also seen as nothing more than servants. And this fact has made me go from hating Pearl to loving her,
We don’t know how long Pearl was on homeworld, I assume a few thousand years. And she was in this demographic that was seen as inferior. And you know how that happens in the real world. She was looked down on. She wasn’t allowed to excel at anything. She was nothing more than a tool and if she DARES to be anything more than that, she’s a defective threat. This was her LIFE.
And then she comes to earth, and serves under Rose Quartz. A woman who lets her be more than “just a pearl”. She learns sword fighting. She learns spear fighting. She learns all these things and does all these things that she previously wasn’t allowed to back on homeworld. And for once, she actually feels like she’s worth something. Like she’s proving to all those people who called her “just a pearl” that she’s MORE than a pearl.
And then it all goes to her head.
She wins the war. She’s proven herself. And now she’s so high on self esteem, something she usually doesn’t have, that she becomes the very person who looked down on her.
She becomes the person who look down on others.
“You’re a human. You’re a novelty. At best.”
“Humans just lead insignificant lives until their ultimate demise.”
She’s so used to being looked down on that she absolutely MUST be on top. And thats why she learns so many things and does everything she can to better herself. So she can continue being “more than a pearl.”
And whenever she’s proven wrong, whenever she’s beaten, or threatened, thats when her defenses kick in. That feeling of being “just a pearl” starts flowing, and she’s so desperate to be “more than a pearl” that she gets mean. Rude. Condescending.
Thats why she hated Greg so much at first. He was taking the one person who believed in her and hogging her all to himself. He was being more to Rose than Pearl was. And she was feeling like “just a pearl” again. So she does whatever she can to fix that.
She instead comes off as an egotistical bitch.
Then Steven happens. He’s sure of something. He just KNOWS he saw something in the warps. But Pearl knows better. He was seeing things. And than he suddenly says those magic words.
“You’re wrong.”
Whats this?! Pearl thinks. This LITTLE BOY think he knows more than ME?! This is UNNACCEPTABLE.
And she does it again. She refuses to be looked down upon so much that she starts looking down on others herself, and she ABSOLUTELY needs to be right. She desperately tries to prove to Steven that she is “more than a pearl”.
Again. She come off as an egotistical bitch.
Then. Sardonyx. She finally fuses Sardonyx. And thats the breaking point for Pearl. Pearl may have done everything she can to prove she’s “more than a pearl”, but while fusing Sardonyx, she feels something else.
She feel POWERFUL.
She has POWER.
She has a thing that NO OTHER PEARL HAS.
And she gets SO addicted to that power that made her feel superior to ANYTHING, that she wants more. She wants to feel that again. She doesn’t want to feel like “just a pearl” ever again. And she thinks Sardonyx can do that.
And then. She’s caught. Garnet is mad. The one person she doesn’t look down to is outright pissed. And Pearl KNOWS it’s because she FUCKED UP. And now she feel like “just a pearl” more than she has in thousands of years. And when she finally admits it, that she’s “just a pearl”, Garnet shuts her down. Shows her that she’s more than that. She’s her own person.
And now.
Now we have the best part.
Peridot.
Peridot comes in and outright says it.
You’re “just a pearl”
And this sets her off. She’s on the defensive again, and now she’s determined to prove herself again.
But this time it’s different.
I’m not “More than a pearl”
I’m not “just a pearl”
I am A PEARL.
SO LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT A PEARL CAN DO.
…but she lost the fight. Peridot gets her way, proved to the others that she’s “just a pearl”
And best of all, it doesn’t matter. Steven and the other still came to HER, thinking no less of her.
And now I think she’s realized that it just doesn’t matter.
