Probably meaning backwards, highly conservative, people from there are seen as “hicks” or “red knecks,” have an abnormally high rate of incest and child marriage compared to the rest of the country, and any person part of a marginalized group would probably want to avoid.
Japan: We have medical knowledge from… experiments, and we’ll forever be your economic bitch!
“They’ll ruin your life cause I’ll ruin your life!”
“I’m just saying if they don’t hang down to here, you should use the Bakunyuu tag!”
Oh so we’re applying the founding fathers owning slaves justification to queer persecution? Guess it’s okay when everyone else is doing it.
Then again nevermind. I’m used to having our history downplayed by conservatives and reactionaries, including the ones that cosplay in red.
Stalin:“Watch me end this man’s credibility”
Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin’s regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.
Rich and varied nuggies?
Not everything has to be chicken nuggies and potatoes.
Works for me. I don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Meanwhile in Japanese, you get to gender YOURSELF!
Dang. I thought the worst Michigan had to deal with now was the smoke from the Canadian forest fires.
It’s been unseasonably hot here in Japan, and I’m in the north part that usually doesn’t experiences heat this intense. Doesn’t help air conditioning isn’t standard here, and I’m been stuck in front of my fan trying to stay cool.
How’s the weather where you are?
If I can help it, I try to support local businesses over Walmart, Target, Amazon, or any other near monopolistic retail chain.
Chick-fil-A, and Hobby Lobby. Owners have been vehemently antiqueer and antichoice, and have funded such organizations and politicians through their business.
Activision/Blizzard and Ubisoft. Both have been accused of large scale sexual misconduct, and neither company has completely dealt with the issue.
Twitter and Reddit. It’s not just that I hate the direction both sites are heading, but I want to fully back and support the open source alternatives that have grown during the migrations of both sites. Besides, Musk has made it to where I can’t even lurk on Twitter if I wanted to.
JonTron. He’s living proof that as long as you’re funny, people will forgive and forget anything. (Look up his history with racism and antivax for those in the latter camp, cause I’m tired of answering the “what he do” question)
The Harry Potter franchise. This one hurt the most because I had just starting to get into the Harry Potter series as the pandemic hit, and I was halfway through Prisoner of Azkaban when Rowling started her campaign against trans people. I Also used respect Rowling a lot because she’s a master at world building, and I had gotten into reading Harry Potter cause I wanted to take inspiration from it for my own work.
Ruroni Kenshin, and Nobuhiro Watsuki’s other works. I can get why people would forgive JonTron and Rowling to an extent, but defending Nobuhiro’s pedophilia is a bridge way tf too far for me.
