when a ship involves one character being so utterly devoted to the other that its borderline religious????? when the devoted character is written to be seen as a sinner, or damned, or a non believer??? and the other character an angel or god-like???? i simply eat that shit UP how can you not??
two dudes catching up but then an achievement pops up above them thats says “BECHDEL TEST PASSED” and they both look at each other and go “so ive been meaning to tell you something”
For me, it’s not just the war crimes, it’s the cruelty. Like the mass murder gets me angry, don’t get me wrong, but since I’m not there, it’s just kind of an abstraction to me. I don’t want to say that it’s a statistic, because these are actual people with actual lives being wiped out, but I’ve never met any of them. But the cruelty; the upper-middle class influencers in Israelis settlements blacking out their teeth and wearing hijabs to make fun of Palestinians on TikTok; getting their children in on their little minstrel act. The IDF soldiers making a meme of forcing blindfolded Palestinian captives listen to their anthem. The smug, gloating tweets by Israeli government organs, boasting about what they’ve blown up. Just the absolute lack of shame; the absolute, gleeful, calculated cruelty, the complete pride with which they broadcast their crimes on the Internet, knowing that they will never face any repercussions because everyone in a position to stop them is actively cheering them on. That is what makes me angry; that is what keeps me up at night.
