look i dislike the corporate artyle book cover trend as much as the next person but we cant pretend every book looking the same is something new. if you stepped into a bookstore in 2013 there would be approximately 57 books whose cover art consisted of a girl in a ballgown with her back half-turned to the camera photoshopped into a vaguely fantasy-like landscape. i was 11 years old fighting for my life to find the right maximalistic girl and her single-adjective book title we cannot forget the horrors i went through please be respectful of my experiences

you're Black and they've got a handful of Black characters in star wars and none of them are written with love and care like they deserve. every Black character that looks remotely Black is either a "near human" alien species or villainized.
you're Polynesian and youve technically got a whole bunch of really prominent characters with a range of morals but people keep thinking/pretending/making them white and then the majority of those guys' voices and stories are ignored in favor of white jedi who should know better than to be slave owners. ppl deny your existence in this story and claim it for white people.
you're eastern/southern asian and like 99% of this fucking franchise wouldn't be here without your people and your culture(s) but good fucking luck finding prominent characters that share your face. they had one lady in a sequel trilogy nobody asked for and by the time they make another movie with her they manage to give white/alien sides more lines than her.
or you're SWANA and star wars is basically a carbon copy of your people and your culture and is also, ironically, a carbon copy of the same shit you have to deal with irl--being made a terrorist, being called backwards, stereotyped, etc etc, made out to be "hostile" in the same way white folks do irl. and there's white fans who have the nerve to tell you this is a compliment.
youre jewish and every time there's a character with a hooked nose they're also evil. if there's a character thats working with money they've got a hooked nose and they're also evil. a greedy character will have a New York Jewish accent and also be a lizard. the alien that hapenns to be the slave owner to White Space Jesus is a mess of stereotypes of your people and culture.

Great time to remind y'all that being an atheist and being anti-religion are not the same thing. You see, one is about not believing in any gods/not being religious, the other is being a fucking bigot.
The explosion in the 2010s of atheist white YouTubers who were so anti Christian that they because antisemitic and islamophobic was insane. I don't fucking care that Christianity traumatized you - if you use that as an excuse to be a bigot, then you better expect people not to care about that trauma. Because you're not taking into consideration that WE come from a non-marginalized religion (in the West).
And yes, the way organized Christianity in the West is, is often very fucking traumatizing. I had luck and I didn't come unscathed. But if you choose to fight other religions instead of the system, then I'm sorry but you're just a huge fucking idiot.

vanserra thought of the day:
eris is the son beron respects the most but likes the least
so,, you know how tooru hagakure (invisible girl from mha), when she wears clothes, you can still see them bc things don’t turn invisible when they touch her?
what if she had her hero costume on but was on her period so you just see boots, gloves and a fuckin tampon floatin in the air. that’d be every teenage boy’s nightmare lol.
also, can she see herself?
how did her parents know she’d been born when she came out of her mum, if she was invisible?
how does she get a haircut?
Also, since she’s pretty much naked for her hero costume, then could her hero costume be classified as a “titties out” outfit?
