i know there are definitely limits but i'm glad the mcelboys are out there being visibly some cishet white dudes who genuinely want to do better, to deal with problematic shit they have said, who admit fault for it and don't shirk away from doing that work
and also that they're out there doing that while bluntly stating that it's not about a pc culture war, it's about doing a better job, and their job is to entertain folks, and thus it's part of being a better person *and* a better comedian.
i kinda want to figure out what the ten-year-old tweets in question are, but i think it's probably better left alone
honestly even if you're not a fan of the mbmbam style of comedy - it's kinda absurdist marmite - i'm glad that the mcelroy brothers exist in pop culture to be a bunch of cishet white dudes who are genuinely interested in learning from mistakes and doing so humbly, being openly ready to listen, learn, do better, and not give buckets of dodges and excuses.
@kelly oh fuck The Itchy.... nobody talks about that much but it *happens* and it's *awful*
hopefully it passes for you soon :(
green fluff is good tho
like, it's white culture, in the same way puppy gender reveal parties are white culture, because we sure as fuck cannot blame this nonsense on anyone else. we just gotta sit here with our sins.
however, it's delicious

Behold This Utter Terrifying Trash Fire (i chant as i post more au darth vader)
i'm actually mildly terrified that the next commission i get of vader from my au fanfic, some sort of DILF singularity will occur, and i will be crushed by an oncoming wave of people way too hornt for him due to artists just being way too good at delivering that vibe

TIL how the Superman radio serial helped significantly weaken the KKK: https://youtu.be/LUOODp8PQac (17m video giving background and summarizing the story)
as part of a much bigger coordinated effort, of course, more with raising public awareness than anything else, but still significant

please, i beg you, someone out there who has #yakuza and some 3d posing software and/or time for fanart. PLEASE recreate this trend but it's haruka quietly dying of embarrassment as kiryu yeets himself skyward in full ministry of silly walks pose https://imgur.com/gallery/9zMjljf
@maple (e.g. when i know i'm in a space where there's a lot of kids - like, say, in the splatoon2 tag on twitter - i have to keep in mind, quite seriously, what i'm saying and doing as to be a good influence, publicly and visibly. i feel like way too many people laugh that off or "oh whatever they'll be fine" when it's very important.)
