What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

Anonymous asked: How very brave of you, picking on a tiny post by an unknown blog. Meanwhile I don't see you getting your knickers in a twist over a fanart of Hux getting punched by Finn, a la Richard Spencer, with 10,000 notes. Very honorable, much activism.

1) I deliberately didn’t link to the original post or include the OP’s url in my screenshot for precisely that reason: I am a big blog, they are presumably a small one, and I wanted to make my point without getting some random person caught in the crossfire. 

2) You’re using this word, “activism”. I do not think it means what you think it means. “Activism” doesn’t mean “giving equal space to every political position regardless of its moral repugnance or value” - it means standing up for a specific thing that I believe is right. So no, I’m not getting my knickers in a twist over something that represents the literal opposite of the thing I find offensive. That’s just not how that works.  

3) Hux is a fictional genocidal space Nazi who kills trillions of people and blows up entire planets, while Richard Spencer is a real genocidal Nazi who thinks all black people should die. If you’ve got a problem with either of them getting punched in the face in whatever medium, then I’d like to cordially invite you to go choke on a fucking cactus.
