there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well
and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it
the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother
i hit the green tea so hard i can feel all the weather on earth happening at once
Harrowing: someone in your Fandom just made an innocuous and harmless post that nonetheless betrays a deep misunderstanding of the character and the character's narrative purpose and you just have to sit there and let them be wrong lest you be an asshole
The annoying thing about incorrect quote accounts for me is when they tag spam and flood fandom tags with low effort stuff that’s barely relevant. Sometimes instead of the character’s names it’s “character a” and “character b” and they tag every fandom
The other annoying thing is when it’s a collection of screenshots of banger posts with a bunch of characters you’ve never seen before on top and you’re like ok. guess I can’t reblog this
the people on tiktok filming a blob-like strawberry and saying it's a GMO one...fucking fake strawberry fans...they literally can grow naturally like this
it's just the strawberries growing together. do not speak lies of these beautiful freaks ever again
every time I find a strawberry like this i'm not hating. i'm happy because there's more strawberry to eat. unlike you
its called fasciation and it's a mutation that happens in plants all the time! it's perfectly natural, just a neat variation that comes from a wide array of genetic possibilities :)
Its so interesting that when people hear gmo they think its gotta look wrong but the real gmo plants are the ones that look perfect and plump everytime, that's the kinda thing they're selecting for
btw, selecting for traits is genetic modification. We've literally been doing it the entire time we've had agriculture. But now it has some scary name.
Good Reasons to be wary of SOME GMO plants: Allergy drift (Starlink soybeans have peanut genes and can trigger an allergic reaction in people with peanut allergies), Patent woes (We will sue any farmer whose crops have our designer genes even if they got them through wind pollination) and Unsound Field Praxis (We made this crop glyphosate resistant so we can drown the field in glyphosate because fuck the environment and fuck the workers who have to harvest this crop from farm to table)
Bad Reasons to be wary: Scary plant look weird.
i don't respect DNIs not in the sense i go out of my way to break them but in the sense that i don't respect DNIs as a concept and consider them to be something of a red flag in general.
i'm not sure how to explain it but it's the combination of usually putting very serious issues on the same level as fandom stuff, the fact that half the time people don't even know what they're against beyond 'the bad stuff' therefore even further watering these issues down, and the idea that other people are expected to manage your online existence for you.
there's a passiveness to it that i think is actually a problem and it does not surprise me in the slightest that people with DNIs tend to view what media they consume as activism. do you get what i'm saying.
The DNI mindset of "curating my experience is everybody else's problem, not mine; it's not my job to avoid or block things that upset me but their job to take care to never interact with me in the first place" is certainly not a great mindset to start from.
I simply do not respect DNIs-- because I cannot be bothered to look for them. You don't pay me to do your work for your DNI.
If you want your experience, moderated? That's on you.
okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.
I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.
so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.
Hell yeah

BEFORE YOU CLICK A LINK!
Reblog this post :) Especially if you’re on mobile, you’ll lose the post if you click the link without thinking. Take a note from your elders before you
Interesting note: It definitely uses whoever you're following now, not at that date. Even the 2020 one includes a lot of people I was absolutely not following yet in Feb 2020, which is actually kind of cool, I can see what they were reblogging from this fandom before I got into it.
