Pokemon Go in the Uk
Yeah
it’s 2016, callout culture has gone on for more than long enough now, let it die, it’s time
callout for this post wtf is “callout culture”
callout culture is falling out with someone and digging through their archive to compile a list of things they said five years ago to turn total strangers against them
callout culture is reblogging a callout post for a total stranger made by a total stranger out of a misplaced sense of moral righteousness
callout culture is overusing the word ‘problematic’ to the point where saying something out of ignorance thirty years ago is placed on the same level as assaulting children
callout culture is expecting people to disclose deeply personal information pertaining to their mental health, experience of abuse and other incredibly sensitive subjects before engaging in a discussion with total strangers
callout culture is bombarding people with accusatory messages as soon as a celebrity or tv show they like fucks up, as if it was their fault or they can do anything about it and as if it’s possible for anyone or anything to be perfect enough to be deemed worthy of fandom by those standards
callout culture is refusing to give people room to fuck up and then grow and learn and to acknowledge that people and media mean a lot to people for an enormous variety of reasons and expecting people to be able to (and to want to) just cut all emotional ties they have with something or someone when they fuck up is unreasonable and unrealistic
callout culture is claiming to stand for social justice, but driving young teenagers to the point of suicide because maintaining a sense of ideological purity is seen as preferable to remembering that we all used to be ignorant on various issues and educating those who just didn’t know any better
Not to continually be that girl but the whole of social justice (primarily being done in online spaces) needs to be redone. We have to move away social justice (morally) motivated by vengeance and separatism towards one guided by love and solidarity that’s just my raw onion tho
is there context for this
i didnt make the post so obviously i wouldn’t know much but i think a lot of ppl nowadays tend to see social justice as based on accusation and holding everyone to a standard of moral perfection rather than understanding that no one is raised free of social biases and that criticism should come from a place “i want you and the world we share to be better” and not “you made a mistake so now ill pounce on it and weight it with the same equivalence as really horrible acts of oppression”

me when my computer was new: *gives computer its own room, carefully places pillows around, NOT blocking the fans of course, cleans interior every weekend, reads it bedtime stories and kisses it goodnight*
me now: *puts sandwich on main vent and listens to the crumbs bounce off my motherboard* yes. eat. grow strong like your father

when I agree with the tomatometer: as you can see, my opinions are backed by the majority of our nation’s film critics and are therefore correct
when I disagree with the tomatometer: those hacks, those snobs, those sellouts, why is a 2.5/4 considered rotten, why is this random blogger’s opinion even deemed relevant, reducing masses of reviews to pass/fail is a terrible way of arriving at a consensus, rotten tomatoes culture is destroying film criticism as we know it,
