part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

I really wish people on this site would stop speaking on behalf of the Sami culture. I am Sami. I was born and raised in Norway (Where Frozen takes place.) I know alot of other Sami people. I am white and blonde. I look like Kristoff. Most of my Sami friends are also white. We are white. When people say that Disney “fucked up” by making Kristoff white because “they aren’t white” it hurts me because I am and a lot of other people are too.

Most of my Sami friends- most Sami that I know, actually (Not that I’m speaking for everyone, just from my experience living in Norway and growing up around other Samis) loved this movie. I LOVE that they had a Sami composer come in to do the intro. I LOVED all the little references to our culture. I didn’t feel “cheapened” or “appropriated” or whatever people are trying to say. Our own president, Aili Keskitalo, LOVED the movie. The movie is going to be shown at Skábmagovat, a Sámi movie festival in Finland. Most of us (from what I’ve gathered) really liked this movie.

You all tell white, straight, cis people to “check their privilege” and to “not speak on behalf of PoC,” but so many people who are not of my culture are speaking on behalf of us and I find it very hypocritical. Most of you had never even heard of the Sami culture until this film.
So please. Put down the virtual pitchforks and just enjoy the movie.

Good on them. I'm getting so sick of Tumblr's shit.

Can someone circulate this to everybody on Tumblr please? Fucking people who act like they're completely in with every "oppressed" group and know exactly how they feel just because they're not white or cis or they are but pride themselves for being "progressive".

Whoever this is deserves all the notes.

I'll be the nitpick: Frozen doesn't take place in Norway, it takes place in a hybrid Swedish/Norwegian fantasy world

but

yeah

SO tired of Tumblr acting like every "oppressed" group completely understands one another and are in solidarity against the evil white man. Them acting like they know about another culture when they don't is just as presumptuous and racist.

I think America-centrism is partly to blame here.

It's very much there. I just find it bitterly funny that those sjws think they're so progressive and yet are blind to their own harmful assumptions.

What other fandoms are you in? Or even just things you're interested in right now?

(Anonymous) 2014-01-15 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't participate in fandom except for Hetalia

Legend of Zelda is the only other one I'm active in right now.

I should get back into Hatoful Boyfriend; I lost track of it, and haven't even played the second game yet.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-15 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hetalia
Shingeki no Kyojin
Magi
Ace Attorney


...I think I partake of more media than I get invested in the fandoms of, because that seems like a lot less than I expected. :|a

The only fandom I participate in is Hetalia.

I've been exploring DMMD lately. It's possibly one of the funniest and most absurd fanbases I've seen lately.

I watch SNK from afar. They are crazy in a pee on yourself while shouting for the giant sky monster to come down and give you canon gay or you'll stab your neighbor sort of way.

I passively like other things, but not enough to seek out fan contributions for them. Or I like them and never want to find fan contributions for them (Adventure Time and Sherlock).

I rarely actually get into fandoms, and I've even mostly gone back to lurking in Hetalia. Free! is the only one I'm active in right now.

Madoka Magica and Sailor Moon still, somewhat
Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai, Kuroko no Basket, Nagi no Asukara, and Noragami are all currently airing so I'm watching those too (actually getting really into Nagi no Asukara lately, too!)

too many others in general

(Anonymous) 2014-01-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hetalia, sorta.
I recently got into all things Roosterteeth, namely Achievement Hunter, though I watched and loved RWBY(need to watch it again) and I wanna watch Red vs Blue eventually.

Hetalia is the only one I actually contribute to
Most of the other fandoms I'm in I play more of a passive role or as anon mentioned I don't actively seek out fan contributions

Star Trek (TOS and Reboot)
Sailor Moon
Sherlock
The Hobbit
The Avengers (movie verse more than the comic verse)
LA Noire (nothing going on in it)
Sweet Fuse (same as above)
Saint Young Men

What do you do for a living?
