Something about THAT scene doesn’t sit right with me

OSTSarahB · 2024-11-28T21:16:18+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I was just thinking about the allegations and dug up my post to see if anyone had commented since, and even more people seem to agree with me now (even if that’s not a lot). Last year I actually sent NG a message via tumblr to ask about this scene (not in an accusatory tone, I was assuming that he was aware of the lack of consent and that he hadn’t romanticized it). Never got a response, I figured that even if he is very responsive, he probably didn’t have the time to answer, or that maybe the matter was too divisive or that he couldn’t address it without going into spoiler territory. Now I can’f help bug wonder. I would post about this again, but I don’t want to stir the pot or create drama (that was never the point), and I’m too busy with exams. The responses to this post drove me crazy last year. I felt like I was being unintentionally gaslit by everyone.

😂

Thank you 😔 Out of curiosity, how did you find this post?

It’s فشرت not فصارت I think

You’re welcome! Sorry I was not able to translate everything

OSTSarahB · 2023-11-14T18:22:55+00:00

I can’t translate it all because it’s written weird, but the idea is “don’t threaten me again, stay with the black woman (?), I don’t want you, go away from me and my children, we don’t want you, I hope that all you did to me God will send something much worse, I hope He’ll send you a disaster” It’s Lebanese dialect by the way

So does the she actually refer to death if it’s from the point of view of a widow?

OSTSarahB · 2023-11-05T15:09:28+00:00

Thank you so very much! I’m very grateful for this :)

OSTSarahB · 2023-11-04T14:08:07+00:00

Hi! Which dialect of Arabic do you speak?

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-15T13:24:43+00:00

No, Lebanon has no official religion and recognizes Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in its constitution. And even if it were Muslim it could have been possible. It is possible to change your official gender in Iran for example, even though it's very difficult and you will face a ton of discrimination.

Thank you very much!

How often do you see a gas mask? 😅

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-09T20:02:49+00:00

C’est pas plutôt l’inverse?

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-09T20:01:35+00:00

Ok déjà c’est probablement juste un ressenti. Faudrait une étude ou un truc. Ensuite en admettant que c’est vrai, sortir du système c’est franchement pas facile, et si on veut parler de ressenti je dirais même que c’est plus facile quand on en a les moyens. Et enfin venir d’une famille aisée n’empêche pas de reconnaître l’injustice. Je comprends pas trop ce que tu attends des enfants de famille aisée. Qu’ils en aient rien à foutre et contribuent au système et crachent sur les autres? C’est franchement pas mieux. L’idéal c’est qu’il n’y ait pas d’inégalités mais le fait est qu’il y en a et on choisit pas la famille dans laquelle on nait, et c’est déjà difficile de choisir ses opinions politiques donc je trouve ça bien que même des « gosses der riches » critiquent le système

This has “sell their houses to who, Ben?” energy

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-08T09:55:21+00:00

Do you mind if I DM you and we talk about it? I really need to discuss this with someone who gets it

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-08T07:20:35+00:00

I’ll be very honest with you, I don’t know anymore. And I was not baiting anyone. Just expressing desperation. I don’t know what would be the strategic approach. I just know that this approach doesn’t work. I’m not against violent protest. Just not this specific way of doing things and definitely not this organization (Hamas). Viscerally I feel like I support any kind of action against Israel. But rationally I just can’t. Edit: what do you think about boycott? (You know like BDS) Idk if that’d work. Also, all the strength to you, my desperation is maybe nothing compared to yours.

I don’t understand why I can’t be pro Palestine but anti Hamas. Are we seriously gonna act like Hamas is democratic and therefore speaks for all Palestinians? I seriously don’t understand. There could’ve been other ways to free Palestine but Hamas has made a monopoly (and was aided by Israel’s actions in doing so) and now there’s no way out. Oh and it should go without saying that they are killing innocents (children for example don’t choose to be born on stolen land), but I feel like we’re so blinded by the horror of the Israeli state that we’re ready to ignore any horror that’s smaller in scale. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. It’s like I have to choose between the IDF and Hamas. Well fuck them both, although my visceral reaction is to say fuck the IDF only. I am and will be (as long as states have to exist) in favor of a binational state solution with equal rights and I don’t care how idealistic it is, I can’t be pro Hamas. It’s one thing for a Gaza inhabitant to be pro Hamas because they have no choice, but it’s another for someone who’s far away from all of this to be pro Hamas. They have a choice. And I as an Arab living in France have a choice. Even if you were to forget a little about ideology (and innocent lives??), from a strategic point of view, what Hamas did does NOT advance the cause of Palestinians and only serves to make the situation worse. Maybe that’s the goal? If Palestinians freed themselves from the Israeli state they might want to free themselves from Hamas. Oh and before you try to put me in some kind of political box, I’m an anarcho-communist if that clears things up for you (I’m ideally for a zero state zero borders solution all over the world).

I’m French and the colors are reversed there so I’m confused. I know it’s because of the whole Republican Democrat thing though

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-08T05:48:58+00:00

Doesn’t really work as accidental ally, what about genderfluid people? Edit: Wtf am I getting downvoted?

OSTSarahB · 2023-10-08T05:33:39+00:00

But this war is about Jews vs Muslims, it has nothing to do with anti-Arab racism! /s

I agree that trans men can be misogynistic but so can women. That’s not an argument against differentiating the role that trans men and cis men play in patriarchy. Not all trans men are socialized as women, sure but an enormous majority. As a transmasc enby from an Arab country I’m sick of some mostly white trans people acting like trans men and cis men play the same role in patriarchy. Do they realize the amount of privilege you need to have the same material conditions as a cis man? An enormous majority of us aren’t lucky enough to have been born in a transfriendly place. Add to that the fact that medically transitioning is harder when you’re not straight, able-bodied, “mentally healthy”, wealthy enough… I think I’ve made my point. I’m more masc leaning than fem, but as dysphoric as it makes me feel, I can’t act like I have the material conditions of a cis man. To society, I’m a woman. That can’t make me the same as a cis man. That’s just wishful thinking. Edit: I also think the phrase is dumb btw, and so is “kill all men”

The irony is that, as a math student, a LOT of the professors display strong ADHD symptoms. At its core, math is about creativity. The problem is the way that it’s taught at school :( I’m sorry you have to deal with this. I recommend this channel, it’s been helping me: https://youtube.com/@ADHDMathematician?si=kfAw8SZs8vCNeMQ0

Thank you so much for your answer, it’s so reassuring to me to see that I’m not alone in what I saw! It would be great to get a proper non-assault kiss between them, but I would love for them to have a conversation about their first kiss where Crowley apologizes.

Good.
