[P] It still irritates the hell out of me that things are like this...

Yep, puritan tighty-whiteys love telling other races what is and isn't racist.
"I'm a white dude and I'm telling you Japanese people definitely weren't hurt by depictions of shrine destruction. I get to say what is or isn't racist because I'm white and I'm not racist!"
Yeah, well, Japanese people don't agree with you.
[P] See, the way I see it? This removal of culture, identity, and personality from black people just makes them alien. It's a very insidious kind of racism that doesn't allow them to be a person. It makes them... I don't know how to articulate this well, so you'll have to excuse me. Hm. A symbol? In a way? An idea? An icon? What's the correct word for this... An edifice? Hm. A caricature? A myth? A utility? A simplification? A known variable?

[P] Is the puritan panic of tighty-whiteys worth the actual racism of denying black people culture, identoty, and personality? I mean, Ncuti Gatwa in Doctor Who is allowed to be eccentric and fun, but that's British. What if all black characters were allowed that, though? "B-Bu-But I can't tell a stereotype from an identity!" So let black people tell you, then! And when they do, enable thrm rather than speaking for/over them! It isn't hard...
[P] Sorry, this just makes me really damn grumpy. "Oh no! I spotted that a black character has an accent! Am I racist?!?" Well, I have a friggin' accent! If you hear that, ARE you racist??? It's just insanity that robbing all personality, identity, and culture from black characters—because white puritans fail to grasp what racism is—is somehow the better and less racist option. It doesn't matter if it makes a black person happy! Oh no, it makes a puritan worry!
[P] It's funny how easy it is to see the really racist aubtext surrounding the modeen, mainstream opinions of Quest for Glory III. I compared modern forums with usenet, and reviews on modern websites eith publications of the time. The difference is stark and darkly telling. The former unanimously lambast, the latter unanimously praise. The difference? Gaming went mainstream in the interim betwixt, adding a torrent of bigoted voices.
[P] Well, this is a bigot-free zone. I still adore you, Quest for Glory III. And I happen to think that swahili is a beautiful and elegant language, unlike some puritan tighty-whiteys who're bound up so tightly in their god-fearing xenophobia that their minds have narrowed to a quark's width. And not the ferengi who runs the bar, either. Nor the gallantry-found-wanting space captain, either. No, narrower-of-mind and more cowardly than either of those.
I never really understood why we have to believe an artist is a good role model.
Perhaps it's because so many of the #music #makers I like were horrible people that I was disillusioned at an early age.
#jamesbrown #rickjames and #miledavis to mention a few.
No one expects their builder or plumber to be a good person let alone a role model.
These people are marked by their skill, not by their moral insight.
I think it might just be time we left the delusion and started looking at the real world.
The real world where some horrible #humans are nonetheless gifted with extraordinary #abilities.
That's how it's always been. It's unlikely to change.
Why do our fingers wrinkle in water? It’s much deeper than skin.
From @PopularScience: "A study of polio patients almost 90 years ago gave scientists their first big clue."
[P] What has hiverarchy's parasitic supremacy done for us, I ask you? It's eradicating all life on earth. I mean, a dumb parasite always kills its host. Indeed, nature is lazy and with good reason. A choice: One can enjoy life, or one can rush towards deatruction and the elimination of all for reasons they don't—they can't—understand. I'd say any mind with free will chooses the former, making the lie of hiverarchian free will ever more apparent.

[P] In the eyes of hiverarchy, nature itself would be lazy. I mean, could you imagine if all of the mutualistic, balanced systems of nature began behaving like nature's worst parasites? Complex life never would've arisen, as in order to arrive at complex life mutualistic systems are needed. It's why hiverarchy loves to deny the scientific facts of mycorrhizal networks, they want their fallacious belief in parasitic supremacy made manifest.

[P] Stop me if you've heard this one before. Hiverarchy sez: "The immigrants are lazily mooching off of social services while also somehow stealing all of our jobs!" It doesn't have to make sense. When has neurotypical hiverarchy ever had any truck with logic or reason? A parasite needs not these things. No, a parasite needs attacks that can be used en mass, to subjugate, subligate, and sublimate the host into easy submission. 'Tis what parasites do.

[P] A sincere researcher, doctor, scientist, or anyone of neurodivergence outside of hiverarchy will tell you the same: laziness doesn't exist. It's juat an attack-word that hiverarchy doesn't understand, they merely subconsciously grasp it purpose: to shame the unexploitable into being exploitable, for whatever bare, infinitesimal minimum might be extracted from them. Though sometimes it's usex to try to make the exploitable even more exploitable.

[P] If someone has neurological motivation issues, barriers to entry, or less capacity for ableness due to the circumstances of life? Such a person is less exploitable, less can be extracted from them to benefit the husk-like, cretinous uberparasites that sit at or near the top of any given hiverarchy. So a word is required, to shame those who're less exploitable by the nature of their birth, to ekke every last iota from them. A label. A taint.

[P] There's a point in one's life where the realisation that "lazy" in hiverarchian is synonymous with "unexploitable." See, parasitism is a part of the shackles that bind neurotypical hiverarchy, so everyone should be exploiting everyone else; and the most successful parasites, the wealthy, the influencers, should be exploiting everyone the most. "It is their right." This is the poisonous view of the world that hiverarchy has. So, that label...
