When non-Natives dress up in a Native costume and tell you they are honoring Native culture. Tell them no it’s not honoring and give them the name of Native organizations they can donate money to and that if they actually cared they would of donated instead of impersonating.
Gosh think about all these college kids donating their costume money they spent on a racist costume to Language programs. If they really want to show respect to the cultures.
I’ve seen a lot of people being silly about DnD talking about fucking your way into and out of bad situations but, if you look in the monster manual I think there’s strong support for the idea that half-orcs as a species are constantly horny
Orcs are constantly fucking and that’s why they have so many different types of half-orc offspring. So if your character has orc blood it actually makes sense
I feel so bad for Millie Bobby Brown. She’s been sexualized since the minute she entered the industry and gained fame through “Stranger Things” (notice how her male cast mates are allowed to retain their youthful and goofy personalities, whereas she’s forced into wearing makeup and clothes that give off a “mature vibe”) and now she’s being groomed, in real time, by a 31 year old man (who also has an 18 year old girlfriend), and no one is doing or saying anything about it. This is why feminists always say that the sexualization of female celebrities begins young and why it’s connected to them facing sexual violence from men within the industry, and why those men later get away with it.
I am more and more convinced that children and teenagers just shouldn’t be in the industry, for their own protection. Especially young girls.
By the way, Beyoncé had been groomed by Jay Z since she was 15. So this happened to Beyoncé as well (and no one said anything about it), and it’s happening to Millie now, and probably to countless other teenage girls in the industry.
Natalie Portman, following Leon: The Professional
Glad someone brought up Natalie Portman up because after Leon, there was some seriously fucked up shit. People were sending rape fantasy letters, a radio station was counting down to her 18th birthday (aka she’s legal to bang and “not be weird”), and sexualized her body as she went through puberty. She talks about it here:
Yelp is crazy unethical. Even before I heard about this nonsense, I worked at a small business in San Francisco whose customer traffic was directly influenced by their cesspool of a site.
Anyway, my supervisor and I worked hard to make sure every customer was happy. And we were succeeding! We had a perfect 5 star rating on Yelp! It was amazing! Then one day we got a 1 Star Rating on our Yelp Page. Someone from Pennsylvania left a nasty review on our site. It was scathing.
Now, that’s not something that’s too far out of the realm of possibility for my job. While I sold mattresses in a brick and mortar, we also sold mattresses via Amazon and our online store and people from all over the country purchased mattresses from us. But I digress. The reason this is important is, well, where it gets dicey for Yelp. Because sure enough, Yelp sent us an email telling us that if we paid some fee they would push all the bad reviews off the site. They were extorting money out of us!
And here’s where it gets really interesting. My supervisor contacted the customer to see if there was anything we could do to make them happy with their purchase, so they can change their review. But the customer in question had literally never heard of our company and obviously never purchased anything from us.
Yelp literally committed fraud, and it was only when we threatened to sue that they took the fraudulent review off of our page.
