The fact that racist people really think physical attraction is void of social power structures is beyond me.
No, science and biology didn’t make you not attracted to an entire race of people. Racism did that.
It’s called a preference???
Did you not read the post? You can’t have a preference that excludes an entire race of people without being racist. Where do you think those preferences come from?
Especially preferences that exclude people of color. We learn what race/ethnicity/phenotype are attractive by the social power structures we are surrounded by.
There’s absolutely no possible way for a person to find every single black, or every single Asian or every single (Insert race) person unattractive because there is so much physical, phenotypical and internal diversity within each race.
So, as an example, folks who say “I’m not attracted to black people, that’s just my preference” what they are really saying is “I don’t want to be with black people because I have been taught to think they are ugly, undesirable, and I know nothing about how diverse black people are”
Tl;dr preferences are not void of social power structures 🙂
Plot twist: they were working solely on animating season 3 this whole time and that’s why season 2’s schedule/character development was all over the place
If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.
Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.
I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.
I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”
I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid – see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours – you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.
Apple: this is a mischievous moon. She wants to cause some trouble. Delightful impish smile. A good start. 9/10
I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. This looks like one of those Lenny faces copy pasted onto some Swiss cheese. Bad moon but not horrible 5/10
Microsoft’s simplistic style isn’t working here. This is no moon. This is a strangely patterned electric socket. 2/10 could be worse
Oh dear. This isn’t the moon at all! This is a horrible child! 2/10 could still be so much worse
I don’t hate it! 7/10
This is so horrible. I feel so angry when I see it. This moon feels nothing, only anger. 2/10
Kind. Wholesome. Three-dimensional. Refreshing! She’s so good. I want her in the sky. 10/10
