Black Widow: Brainwashed since childhood to be an assassin, driven by guilt and a redemption arc, also dead parents
Gamora: Brainwashed since childhood to be an assassin for Thanos, guilt complex, redemption arc, oh and Thanos killed her parents
Nebula: See above (I mean above the image of Nebula, as in the above description.)
Scarlet Witch: Brainwashed since childhood to brain-f*ck people for Hydra, guilt complex and redemption arc and also dead parents
Mantis: Raised from a hachling to brain-f*ck people for Ego (who lured and murdered thousands of his own kids). Probably also an orphan. No apparent guilt complex this time, since she’s such a cinnamon bun from start to finish that no one cares.
Ava Star: Dead parents, brainwashed since childhood to be an assassin for Shield (but probably really Hydra), movie ended before we could see how guilty she feels
….and yet none of these characters have had any meaningful interactions with each other yet.
speaking, uh, as a formerly-trafficked sex worker, it’s extremely difficult to come forward as a trafficking victim in countries where sex work is criminalized; you just… get criminalized under those same anti-prostitution laws. of course reported trafficking would increase when the sole fact of coming forward as a sex worker at all no longer endangers you.
This line of argument is the same one that you see with conservatives who point to the increase in divorce rates as proof that making divorce safer is endangering marriage, while ignoring the massive drops in domestic abuse, murder, and suicide.
It’s a shot argument with them, and it’s a shot argument here.
In WWI, when they introduced helmets, they saw a sudden spike in head injuries.
What the casual observer may miss was that they were seeing the increase because of a dramatic decrease in deaths from head wounds.
Survivorship bias
Also, unfun fucking fact, a lot of these “legal” countries still have “end demand” style laws put in place by abolitionists that force sex workers underground and endanger their safety as well.
Swerfs are so obsessed with abolitionism they don’t give a fuck how many women they have to endanger,, rape and murder in order to…“free” them.
So OP can jump out of my pussy or pay the fucking toll.
Just so you know there was a scene during my test screening of into the spiderverse where Peter Porker says fuck and I just went and watched the final film tonight and they cut it out. It appeared in a speech bubble with a bunch of symbols like “f$&@!”. He also had a horrifying line about one of his family members dying and it smelling like singed bacon that legit got gasps during the test screening but they cut that as well. I just want you to know they made John Mulaney say so much weird shit that did not make it into the final cut of the film and y’all better pray they put it in the extended features because I was DEVASTATED at some of the jokes they removed.
Fun fact, they didnt make John say any of that stuff. in an interview he said that, since he was a comedian he was told to “have fun with it” during his recording sessions; which apparently lead to a lot of swearing and morbid jokes for at least 2 hours before he stopped and asked what the movie was rated. “PG.”
“Oh, so you can’t use anything that I’ve said at all”
Reminder: trans Muslims and gay Muslims exist and we’re not going anywhere.
The amount of support that this post has gotten is, quite honestly, incredible. LGBT Muslims are constantly forgotten and ignored because people from both the LGBT community and the Muslim community view our existence as a contradiction or an impossibility. It’s time that people acknowledge us and our experiences with islamophobia and homophobia/transphobia because like I said: we’re not going anywhere.
listen all this stuff about lesbians being dumb…bottoms can’t drive…gays can’t do maths…I believe none of this. these are tumblr geek traits, and furthermore it is a known tumblr geek trait to be self-deprecating. do not slander all lesbians gays bottoms and bottom aligneds like this. somewhere out there, there is a femme bottom, living her best life, driving fast and doing triple integrals at the same time…and she believes in you.
Many people continue to think avoiding meat as infrequently as once a week will make a significant difference to the climate. But according to one recent study, even if Americans eliminated all animal protein from their diets, they would reduce US greenhouse gas emissions by only 2.6%.
According to our research at the University of California, Davis, if the practice of Meatless Monday were to be adopted by all Americans, we’d see a reduction of only 0.5%.
Shit its almost like the real problem is corporate greed causing mass pollution on an unimaginable scale.
