Jokes on you. That attitude is now rampant on tiktok. Time repeats.

I wish more people understood was sealioning was. I see people just go back and forth with a troll who is doing it and I just want to shake them.

[(Anonymous)]

What's the deal with this guy? I keep hearing references but I have no idea who he is.

[(Anonymous)]

Being Romani and his whole family being persecuted/victimized for it is part of his origin story IIRC, so there's some standing for it on a story level.

OTOH they had non-Jewish actors play Magneto the Holocaust survivor so idk where the outrage was back then.

This gives me flashbacks to being a baby autistic and having people call everything I said as "talking back" or being, uh, "deliberately offensive."

Writing Tips

[(Anonymous)]

Share?

Please.

I'm attempting to write fic right now and I'm...struggling, to say the least.

Alternatively, are any of you out there writers? Tell me about your WIPs or your most recently finished works?

[(Anonymous)]

Romani aren't "white" in the sense that they don't enjoy the privileges of whiteness.

[(Anonymous)]

There are a lot of actual homophobes who shout about that, sure. But with several instances I’ve seen, I think it was more complicated than that and had to do with both parties misunderstanding how certain other people do fandom.

Take the phrase “There is no heterosexual explanation for this.” To most people who know fandom, this phrase is a meme, an exaggeration, a way to say “I ship it.” They don’t mean it literally. But to someone who doesn’t know that, it could come off as an insistence that platonic friends could never care about each other that much or show affection in whatever way prompted the statement, and it IS reasonable to be annoyed by that viewpoint.

It’s also telling who’s being homophobic and who really is concerned about people devaluing friendship if you know whether or not they react the same way about het ships that are canonically just friends (I know I do, much more often than with gay ships) but sometimes all you see from someone is one reaction to one ship, and you don’t know if there’s a pattern or not.

[(Anonymous)]

Times change, people become more aware of things they weren’t before. There probably would be outrage about Magneto if it happened today.

[(Anonymous)]

Romani are heavily discriminated against and have been for centuries. They barely qualify as white to most "white" people in Europe. And they were killed by the millions during the Holocaust.

True, Romani bigotry is largely a European thing, but it's still weird Disney/Marvel hired a non-Romani to portray a famously Romani character like Doom.

Right, and I think that's where broad definitions of trolling run into trouble, because a lot of people treat disliking or being offended by someone as a sign that that person is deliberately trying to upset them. And if that person tries their best to be civil, then that's treated as just a different kind of trolling. It basically results in a situation where anyone who has a different view from you can be labeled a troll.

I actually saw an example of this today in a discussion of, all things, whether or not it's a good idea to give formula to a kid over the age of 1. Poster One took the position that it was fine; Poster Two thought this ridiculous. Poster Two wound up accusing Poster One of being not only a troll, but a pervert, because they just got so angry that Poster One was disagreeing with them.
