To be fair, Avatar is pretty up-front about the humans being in the wrong for genociding the Na'vi. Granted its messaging is pretty ham-fisted and lacks nuance but I think calling it one of those "humanity fuck yeah" stories is just downright inaccurate.

Weekend Plans!

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I'm at home this weekend and over my illness. I got a good chunk of the balloon dog I am creating done but this week, I'll need to at least get two more limbs done. Other than that, video games with my sister. We are trying to play more Lethal Company.

Sounds like something a filthy xeno infiltrator would say.

Please remain calm, a member of the inquisition will be with you to purify the area shortly.

I've been in fandom for a while, and IME, it didn't always use to be this way. Your fandom didn't define you, your ship didn't define you, and people didn't expect it to. It's not like we were never troubled by the morality police, but it wasn't anywhere near as foaming-at-the-mouth as it's gotten in recent years.

The more mainstream fandom has gotten, the more performative it's gotten as well. I'm guessing that while it's a blessing for many unhappy, isolated people who need escapism it's also an unhealthy crutch for some. When you don't have much else going on in your life that's good, it's easy for your identity to become stuff you consume because that's easy.

I was gonna say, the main point of Avatar is that the humans doing the genociding are in fact wrong about doing that. It's not even in the ballpark of being subtle.

I'm glad we're at the point where we can now officially and legally go on record and say Israel is committing a genocide. That Bibi is a War Criminal, as well as just a right wing scumbag, and we can remember that one of those who handed down the indictment is a Holocaust survivor who knows exactly what this means.

We can stop crying antisemitism at every criticism of Israel, and start the healing process. As soon as Israel accepts it has gone beyond the pale, of course.

I don't think this is necessarily even about morality. Lots of people identify so hard with certain pieces of media that if people say that piece of media is bad or they don't like it, even if it's not about morality at all, they take it as an attack on themselves as a fan.

Yeah, but also no.

The Navi are kinda a backwards people heading towards, at best, stagnation and a long slow slide to extinction and doing nothing with their planet. Humanity is the one out among the stars, actively searching for knowledge and solutions to humanity's problems.

Sure, humanity is not perfect, but at least they have not become an insular and isolationist species. The Navi could have shared, could have traded, but they were just as racist towards the humans in the first movie and that bit them hard of the ass.

make no mistake. Russia using these new missiles is exactly the same message that the UK sent to argentina by using the Vulcan bombers.

if we can do it with conventional bombs, we can do it with nukes

argentina wisely reeled back in and didn't escalate the conflict after that

Ukraine needs to do the same. America needs to do the same in Ukraine.

but what does fandomsecrets, the noted collection of great military minds, think?

where is ja rule when you need him?

One of the reasons authors use pen names is because sometimes they want to write about different or more adult topics and they don't exactly fit with the image attached to their real name. Since JKR was mainly associated with all things Harry Potter I guess that is JKR's reason for still using Galbraith.
