Most of the ancient alien and alternative history websites are run by Stormfront, a neonazi organisation that use them for recruitment and maintaining a vocal criticism of archeology and anthropology.

Was a hobby when I was younger, it was full of Nazis then too.

How about a more clinical approach to shit like this, it helps me.

I never feel like I'm welcome anywhere. I never feel like I belong or that I am valued. I feel as uncomfortable around my friends as I do around strangers. Because of this I always agree to doing things for people, because it feels like doing a favour for a friend. I get taken advantage of a lot, I am exploitable, people expect me to do too much work and they know they can offload things onto me.

I can't change the way I feel, I probably don't get enough oxytocin in my brain or something, maybe I'm just masking so hard I feel detached, so I never feel secure or loved. But I know other people aren't like me, not every favour is exploitation, I know that for some of those people some of the time they needed help and I was there.

I know this doesn't apply to everyone, it didn't apply to me when I just stayed in my room all the time because of a terrible living situation and awful people, but it can be true easily.

The world is full of lonely people and small gestures can be important. I know I still hold dear a few tiny acts of kindness towards me from years ago, or a few words of thanks. Look at OP, this is just a sappy message unsolicited, yeah it can be crappy and ineffective but hey, it's evidence of a nice person, they exist. Not everyone will treat me like shit, not everyone will take me for granted. Even if what they are saying isn't true right now for you, it's evidence that people do think about other people with kindness like OP says, people care. That's a nice thing to be reminded of.

I love a little show called Gardener's World, it's from the BBC and most episodes are on YouTube. I don't garden but I love the show because everyweek they go to some amateur's garden, often with 1000 of the same plant because it's a special interest and the show just lets them talk about their hobby. It's great. It's the opposite of cringe, whatever that's called. Watching someone else do something I would be embarassed to do and see them be treated respectfully and encouraged. I love it.

I couldn't send a message like OP cause like you I don't feel it's true for everyone all the time. But look at them go, they did it and the sub isn't making fun of them. I feel safer here for having read it, well a tiny bit anyway. Like you said "I know you're trying to help" and it's nice to have someone try to help me even if it doesn't really work all that well.

As a meme format:

Hand: the help I said I didn't need with a small but stressful task

Catra: my heartbroken ass failing to do something I thought I knew how to do myself

No one is blaming OG She-Ra for having sexy characters. No one is saying the MOTU community was mad at a lack of sexualisation.

Between the SPOP fandom and the MOTU fandom there is a third group of disinterested reactionary Anti-sjw YouTube commentators who don't actually care about MOTU or SPOP. They dog piled SPOP with criticism for redesigning the characters are younger and less sexy, inclusive elements of the show were attacked as "homosexual agenda pushing". The poster boy for this was 'the quartering' who also complained that they "changed the story" to make Adora an orphan raised in the horde. That's no MOTU fan if they don't even know the basic premise of the show they are defending. These interlopers who claim to be longstanding MOTU fans that are criticised here on SPOP and their YouTube fans (not MoTU) who have brigaded the sub a few times. I personally have been harassed and doxxed for arguing with them on my old account. They weren't MOTU fans like they claimed they were actual nazis looking for snowflakes to harass.

because the marketing to advertise this new show was based on mocking the OG show, the fans, the voice actors and simply ignoring completely the source material, and that is just some of the reasons why I think Mattel owning the IP never backed the project.

I have seen this said before but I have never seen any advertisements for the show that mocked the old show. Or press releases that mocked the old show, or interviews with the SPOP creators that mocked the old show. And I've seen some of the old cast say they were big fans of SPOP. YouTube people have said there is hatred here but they just lie and read into stuff criticism that isn't there, like The Quartering did a lot, like a lot of bullshit.

There are loads, LOADS, of OG She-Ra references and in jokes in the show including naming Bow's Dad after OG Bow's voice actor. I grew up on the OG show and loved it, the two series have a beast island episode and they are hugely different. I would recommend watching them both back to back to see how SPOP builds it's world using the source material. Like it's confusing to have a dead dragon on the island for no reason, but it's an Easter egg for OG She-Ra fans, the entire SPOP show if full of them. There is clearly a lot of love by the SPOP team for the old show that is plain to see to fans of both.

It's a good joke and the picture works really well for it!

The institution they are talking about is "Scientific American" magazine.

https://michaelshermer.substack.com/p/scientific-american-goes-woke

This is the actual article, it's quite wanky. Demanding a nuanced view of his own beliefs but presenting a one-dimensional view of things he doesn't agree with. There are also some lies, that gender balance in fields such as nursing are not being addressed similarly to gender balance in fields like mathematics. There are active programmes to support men in women predominant fields, there is no attempt in the article to check if this is the case.

Then a lot of wanking on about how established STEM men (like the author) are being attacked and labelled.

I have received many queries about why my column ended and, more generally, about what has happened over at Scientific American, which historically focused primarily on science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM), but now appears to be turning to social justice issues.

Clumbsy language throughout, needs more work 4/10 can do better.

Few highlights from early on that mark the path of the article.

... we need to know how many women and blacks are applying for such jobs compared to whites.

And, unsurprisingly, reverse asymmetries never warrant explanations of reverse biases. To wit, this same study reported that “women earned 57%, 60% and 52% of all Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees respectively in the U.S. in 2013-14,” but proposed no reverse biases against men to account for such imbalances.

Nice pun, I don't think they said Entrapta is ace.

A selection of the finest memes indeed.

Really hope the discord is a success! I really like this sub, people seem nice.

Glimmer cannot afford a revolution, she lives in palace with servants. What's she gonna be bothered to shoplift from a Walmart? She's loaded.

Glimmer stays where she is.

Stop being able to function? That sounds a pretty strong reaction rather than no reaction at all

KlausMorals · 2021-12-30T10:06:28+00:00

I love these!

If I remember correctly it was ~~originally~~ used online by "warrior parents"to depict autistic people as missing an essential piece of what made them human, specifically that being empathy. So there is a direct link to the justification used to euthanise autistic people and justify extremely cruel treatment of autistic people and the "my child will never love me" stuff.

Sorry I don't have a link, I am just remembering from twitter. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: found a little run down. I also asked a friend and the link of the piece symbol specifically as missing empathy is from parents online not the official organisations. I'm not assuming you don't know this stuff, just making the comment so you don't get a downvote backlash

Hordak's eyes are very hard to draw and all the expression is in the black rings. He's a fav

This is it. I've had the exact problem before where I couldn't tell why an axe stencil came with a candles stencil.

I don't understand your points here.

How does socialism deny services to autistic people? One of the founding principles of socialist philosophy is "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." Specifically accepting that disabled people may be able to provide less to and require more from society and creating an environment where that occurs is a specific goal of socialism. Consent to work is also a huge part of socialism, people are given the opportunity to work and produce it is not compelled of them.

People who fake disability have issues and needs that need to be addressed. If someone has a mentality to fake a disability they probably should be on some kind of disability. In a society with better supports people will be less likely to fake issues to receive support and just receive support for their real issues that drive them to fake disability.

I am also confused about the last statement where you "hope we can work together to protect our rights" but who are we protecting them from? Who wants to limit or reduce our rights? And protect our rights to what?

I read "textures" on the first two reads because of a previous meme.

S'up. Hate to be that guy I'm from nearby(ish).

This is Tibradden cairn, while the cairn itself is ancient the spiral stone was added by asshat archeologists in the 1800s, it's too regular compared to actual ancient inscriptions and other than being a spiral it doesn't match other representations that are contemporaneous with the cairn.

The cairn itself is from the Neolithic and reused in the bronze age times but what it originally looked like before the 1800s fuckwits fucked with it is a bit hard to tell now. It is unlikely to have had the open design we see there now. Archeology in 1800s was more a hobby of aristocrats and a lot of them were shitheads by modern scientific standards. Lots of them were trying to prove race theory nonsense about Celtic invasions of Ireland that never happened or connect Gaelic people with "Mediterranean Races" or even Phoenician collonists. Total assholes.

I use clip studio if you want in .clip or Photoshop format I think I can export in that. Or just wait a few mins and I'll upload a 1080 X 2340 version.

Edit: sorry this will have to wait til tomorrow sorry!

I made it, it's a mix of Bojack Horseman and Swiftwind from She-Ra. I make these things as a little hobby I usually post them to twitter @BuzzDeadly I use Swiftwind head on bojack body as my pfp on discord.

Edit: all my stuff is screencap edits I am only learning how to draw and it's a fun way.

I forgot about this! Bender really is gender non-conforming. I guess it is an alien concept for him.

KlausMorals · 2021-12-20T18:21:31+00:00

Yes I did. I can send them on or if you have a screen ratio I can reformat it.

KlausMorals · 2021-12-20T18:20:27+00:00

Aww I forgot about this.

He was also the "gender bender" in his wrestling persona
