“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?

ppl saying they won't watch the last of us season 2 because "bella ramsey and kaitlyn dever are zionists" as if neil druckman himself isn't a proud zionist who explicitly stated he based tlou part 2 on the israel palestine conflict with the seraphites, the villains, representing palestinians. the entire thing is literally a piece of anti palestinians zionist propaganda. if you really truly care about palestine and anti zionism you should be talking about that and not watching the show point blank period not even pirating. if I hear one more "I'm pirating it because kaitlyn dever is a zionist" I'm going to rip my hair out and make you guys eat it. just don't fucking watch it if you care about palestinians it's that simple.

Jacob Gellar and Blake Hester (games journalist) have a podcast where they cover “Rotten” games and did a whole series discussing and breaking down the rotten/fucked up politics of the last of us that ended late September 2023 and Jacob (Still a proudly anti zionist jewish voice) goes in on it when it comes to Druckmann admitting that during his teenager years he wanted to massacre Palestinians which inspired the game and elaborates on how Druckmann’s message about the cycle of violence falls on it’s fucking face coming from his perspective.

Also like this was known pretty quickly after release of the game

Like this was known for a while people were talking about it you just weren’t paying attention. There really isn’t egen much more to get into I could pull up dozens if not hundreds of sources but ultimately in this context?

Just like, give up your treat.

That’s all you fucking have to do. Don’t pirate it. Don’t try and downplay genocide in justifying your consumption.

Just Give up the fucking treat. Empathize and listen to palestinians suffering and realize this show was made built on a foundation supporting a monstrous endeavor. Be a fucking human being and have consideration of what your media supports. The real harm done and mass death in Gaza. Make a fucking effort for your soul.

Joel Miller is not real. Ellie is not real.

Stories are a great comfort and can have value to your soul, I understand. Of anybody on this earth, I understand the value of stories, visual, written, spoken, etc.

still,

Doesn’t fucking change a thing. Don’t watch the fucking show.

That hurt in your heart at the thought of giving up a show? A percent of a fraction of a microcosm of what people in Gaza go through every fucking day supported by Americans and enacted by Israel. Boycotting is bare minimum shit.

Listen and have compassion. Question what those in power have taught you vs what the marginalized have fucking begged you to listen.

Give up the fucking treat.

it wasn't ever normal that you guys were getting coffee for cheaper than people in Brazil and Colombia (the producers) do though, I hope you know that

having year round mangoes in Wisconsin isn't normal either btw there's a whole century that explains it actually

btw brazilians and colombians get significantly lower quality coffee for a way higher price than in the european nations to which it gets exported. over 80% of brazilian coffee leaves the nation, and the price of coffee in brazil has recently skyrocketed, despite the fact that it is responsible for 38% of the world's yearly coffee production.

theres some 500 years of history on why that is, which you should read, but it is somewhat sufficient to keep in mind that the first world requires the exploitation of the third to maintain its luxuries.

One of the things that's been annoying more and more is modern media depictions of vikings where they basically dress in bland colored furs and leather and they look and act like Klingons.

Wish more movies and TV shows would have the gumption to use accurate costumes.

Also throughout all periods of history people wore colors!!! Even the puritans wore colors and only wore black on Sunday.

This seems like a good excuse to share these beautiful colors from the Viking Age (courtesy of the National Museum of Denmark):

Hey guys i want to bring your attention to the isnad campaign which is an initiative to help gazan college students continue their online education during this genocide.

The initiative will provide them with a safe and suitable study environment with electricity, high-speed Internet, a break room, a toilet and a whole kitchen will be free for students.

If you can please donate what you can spare to this fundraiser, your money will be going towards supporting students during this difficult time.
