 Endless list of favorite movies (in no particular order): Moulin Rouge! (2001)

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and then on not-so very special day, I sat down at my type-writer and I wrote down our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But most importantly, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The end.

The immediate reaction of German POWs upon watching uncensored footage of the concentration camps shot by the US Signal Corps.

People often forget that most of the German troops had no idea about what was going on, they weren’t all fanatic Nazis bent on genocide, they were just regular soldiers who answered the call when their country went to war.

what you fail to realize is that video games shouldn’t cater to females in the first place. It’s largely known that it’s targeted towards the MALE demographic and has been for so many years, so why would they ask for something like that to be handed to them on a goddamn silver platter?

that’s like a guy walking into the women’s department of clothing at a sears and demanding that there be more clothing for men there. Separation of sections be damned.

that’s not how it fucking works

no not really

the game industry is more like walking into a regular department store and seeing that all the clothes are only men’s clothes

and when you ask the cashier where the women’s clothing section is, they wheel out a small rack of cheaply made tutus, g-strings, and high heels all in bright pink

and then when you go “wow really that’s it” you get called an uppity bitch and everybody assumes you want all the focus on you when in reality you’d just like to be considered a worthwhile demographic since you also like to wear clothes, it’s not like you want some ridiculous getup, you just want a solid shirt and pair of pants that fits you alright.

I mean hell you even sort of like men’s clothes and you have no problem wearing them. They suit you well. But it’s very obvious once you throw on a pair of men’s pants that they were not made for you.

Perfect metaphor is perfect.

“what you fail to realize is that video games shouldn’t cater to females in the first place”

what the everloving fuck

The amount of misogyny in gaming circles is at a ridiculous proportion nowadays. And I mean misogyny: it is outright hatred toward women.

Anything that combats that is a good thing. Also: I have trouble in relationships when women don’t or won’t play video games.

People should stop treating games like they’re some sort of secret club, and start treating them like the art/medium forms they are. No one argued that women weren’t allowed to read books or watch movies, why act like they can’t play games, or have games that ‘cater’ to them?

Though real talk here: most things that companies write for women suck really hard. It’s not the fault of women in general, but because companies think we’re stupid and fine with twilight, imagine baby sitter, and 39210740974349017 bad romantic comedies a year. I’m more fed up with the corporate notion seems to be ‘female audience = no substance what so ever’. Like… stop it media companies. Just stop.

Okay you know what? No. No. No. No. No. No.

People here on tumblr like to pretend they’re all ~*open minded*~ and no one’s racist or sexist or whatever but this is a fucking shitty thing to say.

Not all Christians are against homosexuality.

Not all Christians are against homosexuality.

Not all Christians are against homosexuality.

  1. Not all Christians are against homosexuality.
  • Not all Christians are against homosexuality.
It’s fucking disrespectful to use the Bible as a plate when that is sacred to some people. I don’t fucking give a rat’s ass if you’re not religious, you need to start fucking realising that religion isn’t inherently bad.
There are lots of Christians who are pro-LGBTQ or are LGBTQ themselves and you need to respect them as well and not lump an entire religion into the Westboro Baptist Church.
God I could have written all that better but I’m just so fucking pissed off right now I can’t even argue this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
