it really boils my blood that mattel gets props for having diversity in the fashionistas line when many named, speaking poc characters in the movies don’t get dolls like isla, jenna, samantha, marcus, and genevieve off the top of my head

like this bothers me bc they put these characters in knowing they don’t have to make dolls of them so they’re “safe” diversity whereas everyone goes nuts for the nameless fashionistas you see what I mean

Don’t forget Catherine! I mean, the Christmas Carol line wasn’t that large to begin with (which is disappointing in itself) but she played such a huge role and didn’t get a doll. Same for Hailey.

Nalu and Faban in Fairytopia! (Altho Linden didn’t get a doll either; I think Carlos was the only boy to get one out of like a hundred damn dolls under the Fairytopia label)

Josette in PCS altho she and Lorraine were more minor characters. 

Marco and Vivian in Puppy Chase! esp egregious bc their horses come packaged with Barbie and Chelsea lmao. also Lindsay!! she was a major character I don’t care what mattel thinks

this isn’t even going into how when we do get poc characters they sometimes have waaaay lighter skin in the animation than their dolls. DM Isla obviously comes to mind as a recent example but also Cloud Queen Rayla and Princess Ashlyn I think are prominent; or the fact that Mattel often makes AA variants of movie dolls, not just playline, which seems so insidious bc it’s like why couldn’t you just make the character black in the first place? you’ll take their money but you don’t really want to represent those girls do you!

It all comes down to sales, you morons! Mattel is in the business of selling dolls, not catering to your SJW virtue signaling. They won’t do special POC dolls if they don’t think that their investment return will make it worth it. Are you that fucking stupid? Seriously.

If men aren’t allowed to have an opinion on abortion, then they shouldn’t have to contribute to federal funding of breast cancer research.

“If I can’t control a woman’s body, then I want that body to die.”

“I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what breast tissue is, and don’t believe that men can also get breast cancer.”

“women don’t know how much rejection hurts” i wasn’t allowed to play with legos or touch a football or look at sports. i wasn’t allowed to eat more. i wasn’t allowed to talk loudly, to laugh too much, to inject myself into male conversations. i wasn’t allowed to be good at science. i was told “oh sweetheart, have another college in mind, STEM fields are hard.” i got turned down from jobs in favor of boys where were less qualified. one boss told me he was hesitant to hire me because my last name is hispanic and i’m pretty and he didn’t want the “controversy.” i couldn’t take up space on the train. i would be talked over in public places. i couldn’t eat steak or drink beer, they were “boy” things. video games were off limits, i wasn’t allowed to ask if i could see more characters like myself in them. super heroes were all men, women were just love interests. i wanted shirts with wonderwoman, with black widow, with harley quinn, i found next to nothing. i wanted pockets and colors other than pink and clothes designed for warmth, not sexy, i got nothing. women change their name to be published nationally. i wasn’t allowed to be emotional, i wasn’t good at driving, i wasn’t in charge of my own body. i wasn’t allowed to show off my body, i wasn’t allowed to dress modestly. i had to be pretty, whatever it took, but my eating was constantly made fun of. “she’s, like, anorexic” was a punchline, not a disorder. “she’s fat” was a death sentence. 

boys said no because: i wasn’t pretty i wasn’t small i was too loud i spent too much energy on being funny on because i wouldn’t shut up what a feminazi i wasn’t smart i was too smart for my own good i was always reading i was always busy i was too needy i was too independent i was not who you took home i was too much of a house mom i was perfect and it was scary.

women don’t know. women don’t know. never sat in a room and wrote angsty poetry about this shit. somehow both overemotional and not capable of knowing how much rejection stings. which one is it. which one is it. i’ll give you a hint: we’ve been rejected since the first time our parents said, “no, not the blue blanket, it’s for little boys to play with.” we are used to having “no” slammed in our faces. we got used to it. maybe the reason it seems so unnatural to hear “no” is because for your entire life, you heard “yes.”

“maybe the reason it seems so unnatural to hear ‘no’ is because for your entire life, you heard ‘yes.’”

Fucking THIS.

Okay, but for who? Because I can think of a number of boys and men who this doesn’t apply to at all, myself included. I, and plenty of other people have been told that we couldn’t do certain things because we weren’t a girl, or not athletic enough, or a number of other things. It’s not that we’ve never heard the word no before, because we have, it’s just that guys handle it in a different way that girls do. We look at rejection as a challenge. I mean, I was told that I’d never make it to college because “guys like you are too lazy to make it in the real world,” but guess what, I worked my ass off and proved those assholes wrong. It’s not a matter of whether or not you know how to deal with rejection, it’s about what you do after. Do you sit there and let people tell you you’re not good enough to do what you want because you’re a girl or because it’s a guy thing, or do you put in the work to prove them wrong?

make up your own fucking post. was it really that hard for you to realize this was in response to a guy saying we as women don’t get rejected? rants are valid. get the fuck off of this post and make one about male rejection, THIS POST was for anyone who AGREES, not to argue with it. why is it so damn difficult for men to let us have our moment????

If you post something on a public forum, people have the right to disagree and scrutinize it.
Also, she was saying that women do get rejected, that much is true. However, she was also saying that men as a whole don’t hear no or fave rejection, which is what I was disagreeing with. I completely agree that women do face rejection, but so do men and that’s all I was saying

of course people have the right to argue, many other people who saw the post also had the common sense to understand it and know their place. & the fact that you follow an anti social justice warrior blog and tagged them to help you is so embarrassing. don’t try and explain yourself- just use your brain next time. want me to tag you in the several posts I’ve reblogged recognizing the struggles that men go through?

Sure if you wanna do that go ahead. Also, “know their place?” What kind of condescending bullshit is that? Is there some sort of social hierarchy that I have to be on to criticize an opinion? I can say whatever the hell I want about whatever I damn well please, so do try to come in here with that bullshit. Oh, and I didn’t tag @sjwfail because I wanted help, I did it because I know his humor, and I thought he would find it funny, just like I think he will find this funny. So to conclude, fuck you and have a nice day, you condescending bitch

i just watched the new ghostbusters trailer and it had more dislikes than upvotes which would be okay if it wasnt for the fact that its only because it has an all female cast. ive seen men whine about it “ruining their childhood” bc the main cast are women for so long and im just sitting here wondering why men hate women so much lol its fucking 2016

trigger has been a psychological term for…..a long time lmao.

Everyone knows that. It’s the fact that tumblr misuses it.

What triggers are suppose to be: War vet having a flashback panic attack due to the horrors they’ve witnessed when a firework goes off too close to them.

What tumblr thinks it means: someone said something I didn’t agree with.

They are also supposed to be use to help identify what causes “episodes” so you can learn healthy ways to respond to the trigger instead of panicking, breaking down, etc. NOT police what others are saying or doing. Triggers are the individuals problem not everyone else’s. Expecting the world to cater to you is ridiculous.

Sincerely someone with real diagnosed mental illness’ sick of seeing her illness’ fetishizatized or used as excuses by special snowflakes.

breaking news guys, only war veterans can be triggered. i guess sjw tumblr is over now. let’s all deactivate

What’s the term for this? Internalized neurotypicalism?

internalized ableism i guess

communistroader:

“As philosopher Daniel Dennett commented,“Postmodernism, the school of ‘thought’ that proclaimed ‘There are no truths, only interpretations’ has largely played itself out in absurdity, but it has left behind a generation of academics in the humanities disabled by their distrust of the very idea of truth and their disrespect for evidence, settling for ‘conversations’ in which nobody is wrong and nothing can be confirmed, only asserted with whatever style you can muster.” And if all you’ve got is rhetoric, that is, “interpretations” and “assertions,” as opposed to, say, factual evidence, then the only way, or at least the most tempting way, to conclusively win an argument is through rhetorical manipulations. If you can’t say, “Your opinion is wrong, and here are facts showing your opinion is wrong,” you’re pretty much stuck with, “Your opinion is oppressing me, triggering me, hurting my feelings.” And that’s precisely what we see. And of course we can’t argue back, in part because nobody can verify or falsify your feelings, and in part because by then we’ve already been deplatformed.”

When a non-white character is played by a white actor, it is called white washing.

So, when a white character is played by a non-white actor, what would it be called?
