i envy ppl who can provide deep analysis about their favorite media and/or characters b/c whenever i like something a lot it looks like:
Happy mothers day to my queen
Persephone hot springs portrait no one asked for (its for me)
I think the dehumanization of Arabs has reached its pinnacle, the image of the fundamentalist terrorist who's unable to rough out one singular rational thought or emotion in the middle of his blind religious fervor won over the reality of their diverse and rich human existence
And it wasn't an accident, an unexpected development that no one saw coming, no. This is a plan carried out with purpose, a project. It's in books, in academia, on TV, in the things people say, jokes, complaints, stereotypes, movies, paintings, cop shows, romcoms, cartoons. its not even enough to say it started back in 2001, its a centuries long colonial, and then imperialist, project
This film is projected over an entire population, composed of millions, from babies to elderly, from Morocco to Afghanistan, to hide their real form and make the western citizen feel indifferent, or even ecstatic, when exposed to the indiscriminate killings of these people.
So, i started playing Hades from the start again in a different save file. I hadn't met the other furies yet when i beat Hades. I wondered if there would be dialogue acknowledgeing that i havent met them if i open Extreme measures.
Extreme measures was not available.
Lol.
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.
Rip Persephone she only ever got to raise plants
Finally, i have them all.
I ADORE THEM YOUR HONOR
