i'm too open on here, feel free to ignore my tags and/or personal posts, it's chill. i do post negative shit and nowadays i’m often too tired to tag, but i can promise no irl gore and the worst that will appear in drawings is blood. i flit between inactivity and overactivity, memes and serious shit, trauma and recovery posts.
•
if you do happen to know me irl, all i ask is that nothing i say or do here gets back to my family. please. i don’t want to have anything ruined or be accused of slander just because i’m expressing a LOT of pain

What I love about this is its acknowledgment that Jason had no intentions at all
this is all 100% true but it always made me really mad that Chidi’s “crime” was having a severe anxiety disorder like he needed understanding and therapy, sending him to the Bad Place for something he had literally no control over was incredibly fucked up
I feel like a less-surface theme of the show is that they’re all in a situation where they have been forced into bad patterns by forces outside their control - Chidi has SEVERE anxiety; Eleanor was forced by abuse and neglect to adopt a self-centered attitude from early childhood and, like many people with traumatic pasts, responds by not dealing with difficult emotions; Jason was very overtly raised in an environment where he got no education and all his models for behaviour were criminal and/or self-destructive; and Tahani has been raised in an environment where everything is performative and she is shot down for any genuine expression of unhappiness or non-material want. Just as Michael and Janet are made one way but changed by their experiences, the moral of the story is that things outside your control shape you but you can move away from them. That could easily be really insulting, in a sort of ‘just get over it’ way, but the idea isn’t that they change solely because they decide to be better - all six of them change because their circumstances change and give them the OPPORTUNITY to be better, because they’re finally given the support system they lack.
I like The Good Place because the whole show has since day 1 been predicated on the idea that black and white moral judgements made in a vacuum are bullshit, and that moral choices are informed by things outside our control, whether that be education, behaviour modelling, unfair treatment or mental health issues. That doesn’t mean we aren’t responsible for our actions but it DOES mean we have to understand morality in the context of people’s varied experiences AND asks for the possibility that if their environment is improved, their ability to function as moral agents also improves.
There was a massive shift in how our culture understood morality when, after World War II, the general public realized “just following orders” was not an excuse for crimes against humanity. Now we need another moral shift in which we decide, as a culture, that “for the benefit of the stockholders” is not an excuse for anything.
We kind of need to relearn the “just following orders” part again
Rasputin in Popular Culture: Supernaturally vigorous man refuses to die.
Rasputin in Reality: A bunch of nerds who think they know how murder works because they read a book repeatedly fail to kill a man who’s too drunk to realise he’s being murdered.
Look as a bi guy who has a ton of body image issues relating to the fact I can’t look like a Hemsworth you really need to stop with the memes about making fun of girls for dating dudes that don’t look like models.
I know you guys are probably making fun of people’s unconventionally attractive celebrity of the week but this shit needs to stop because seeing this kind of thing constantly is really grating on people with depression, body image issues or full on body dysmorphia.
You’re hitting people that aren’t your target.
Not everyone has the money or the time or even the fucking genetics to look like Chris Hemsworth. It’s a body built on years of 4+ hour gym reps, expensive personal trainers, an expensive and strict diet and a bunch of other shit you need to be on a completely different economic level to enjoy.
I’m not joking that before I got treated seeing shit like this used to send me into a crying fit.
Going off of this, stop fucking holding people to standards of what people look like in movies it’s all bullshit.
Movies aren’t real life and nobody looks like that unless they’re super dehydrated and eating a diet that is actually super unhealthy.
This fucking post speaks to my soul. Body shaming is body shaming regardless of gender
Indiana Jones. Great character, hates Nazis. Punches and kills his way through them. Still loved by all.
Everyone loves Batman! Doesn’t like Nazis.
Wonder Woman, showing people how it’s done.
Even the villains don’t tolerate Nazis!
Like, the Joker is seen as one of the most notorious villains in the DC-verse, and he just is about to beat the shit out of the Red Skull.
More examples:
And just the sheer amount of times Captain America, literally a character to signify the freedom of the US of fucking A, has punched Nazis is bordering the line of excessive.
So all of this media ranging from different decades and companies have all endorsed Nazi punching. However, as soon as this happens:
Everyone loses their shit! “Violence begets violence!” “That isn’t the way to do it” “How dare he attack that man!” “Don’t put out fire with fire!” “You’re just as bad as them if you’re violent!”
But here’s the thing. It interrupts their platform. It shows that they are not invincible. It shows that they are not protected. It shows that they are going to be held accountable for their spouts of hate disguised as freedom of speech. It shows that there are consequences for their words.
I’m not saying that I’m going to seek out Nazis just to punch them, but I’m not going to stop anyone who’s doing it either.
Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? Either way, we should be punching more Nazis.
