So I made a post about feminism in anime, and got some “LOL yeah, feminism in Japan. yeah right” replies.

fandomsandfeminism:

This idea that feminism ONLY exists in Western culture is really baffling to me, and honestly, it reeks of “white culture is so much more sophisticated and enlightened than the rest of the world.” 

Like, do people really think that Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America,( and oh, ya know, everywhere in the world that isn’t the US and Europe) just…doesn’t have feminism or civil right’s movements or….? 

women exist everywhere, therefore feminism exists everywhere.

arachnis-deathicus: Gonna quickly throw in an epic quote I found on this article. KJKJ: Gene Roddenberry, with balls of brass, got up on national tv and said, “hey people, if a geneticist took all the best DNA from planet Earth and put it together to make the best human the world has ever seen - he wouldn’t be a white guy.”This is why I find the casting of a white actor in this role to be so repugnant. They are not whitewashing an Asian role, they are saying that the best genetic material that the entirety of this world and it’s diversity has to offer….still comes from a white guy. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy does this shit happen i am so disappointed just, fuck. i really wanted to see it. i loved the first one. it was a great take on the show i’ve always loved. and i was psyched for a sequel. but now i just… how can i support this? i’m really torn. god damn it.

Did you really just skin-lighten a Frida Kahlo self portait

and remove her facial hair

and call her “a wreck”

and then say she couldn’t choose a fucking lipstick to suit her skin tone

after you changed her skin tone

how can one person be everything that is wrong with the world at once

remember that time frida kahlo said white people were boring and had faces like unbaked rolls

yeahhhh

This OP is a great example of someone who thinks they’re being “edgy” and “controversial” by adhering as strongly as possible to upholding oppressive ideologies.

The funniest part of this is that OP calls the re-paint subtle

subtle

  • removing her facial hair is not subtle
  • you might think whitewashing her is subtle but its fuckin not you asshole
  • you didnt just take out the monobrow you thinned her whole eyebrows and made them shorter
  • you reshaped her lips???? like what you thought she fucked up her garish lipstick in the original? you thought she wasn’t fucking SYMMETRIC enoguh or something?
  • you put EYELINER ON HER
  • like what the fuck??
  • do you know anything about frida kahlo 
  • anything at all
  • if you do
  • then you know this is fucked up on so many levels
  • right?
  • either way
  • go choke on a fucking thornbush


Part of me feels like this has to be a joke.

i think it was “intended” as a joke. however, instead of accepting that yeah it’s pretty offensive and being sincere it seems the artist is lapping up all the praise and the “oh those sj warriors, they’re so over sensitive”…

disregarding the fact that Frida was and is one of the most influential women of color in the art world and that she never meant for her self portraits to be “pretty” for anyone else is shitty, so saying “it’s just a joke” kinda makes it worse…

her self portraits make most people, especially women, feel comfortable and at peace with themselves and the painful experiences they live through, and when you joke about that and gussy her up, i meant shit, how do you EXPECT people to take it…?

yes, people have done the same kind of repaints to various artists’ Venus’ and DaVinci’s Mona Lisa, and that shit was problematic too. you don’t see people doing repaints of Van Gogh’s self portraits makin’ him look like a male model, or Michelangelo’s Creation of Man- why don’t we trim down “Man” a bit, define those abs, give him a sexy tan and make him more well endowed? hell no, that’d be offensive, marring great works of art and all that noise

why call yourselves artists and then not take some responsibility for the work you put out there. your work is highly visible, you’re not doing this in a vacuum, and you know it, especially when putting it on the internet. so you really need to examine yourself and let people call you on your shit, ‘cause that’s how you grow. making a living at art is a wonderful thing, but getting to a better place with yourself and your work should also be a priority.

PSA FOR ALL USA VOTERS TODAY.

brandyway:

brandyway:

Although it’s uncommon and downright shitty- a few places around the USA have reported  that upon voting for Obama and reviewing on their electronic ballot, it had Romney selected. And upon revising their vote, it still previewed as a Romney vote. 

If you experience ANYTHING like this DEMAND a traditional hand checked ballot and call the Voter Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE. 

EDIT: There is now video proof.

i watched the video… that is fucking outrageous.
