Dangan Ronpa: THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LOOK FORWARD FOR 2016 WITH THE NEW GAME COMING OUT, HOYA.
tumblr is a great place to be exposed to different identities and social justice, but a terrible place to actually educate yourself because this environment treats every mistake anyone makes as a permanent, irredeemable character flaw. people here use activism as the main justification for cyberbullying. no one wants to learn or take issues seriously because this user base salivates over any opportunity to punish or condemn other users.
if you genuinely want to advocate for marginalized communities, tumblr is a great starting point, but please do not rely on tumblr to shape your activism. go and do your own research. talk to your family and friends and people who are willing to share their experiences. lastly, and especially if you’re a minor, please stay safe and be careful about sharing your opinion on here! harassment is a very real problem.
growth is slow, but you’ll get there! don’t let tumblr’s acidic social climate stop you from wanting to learn and better yourself. most importantly, it’s ok to slip up sometimes. mistakes don’t make you a bad person, no matter what tumblr says. as long as your intentions are good, you’re doing fine. feminism and social justice involves a lifelong, continuous reshaping of ideology and you can’t expect it to happen overnight.
Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.
The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?
You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.
You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy
different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is
trichromat.
You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a
tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue,
green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color
will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is
tetrachromat.
You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are
making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and
probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway
🙂
It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th
cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter
the background light 😉
I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.
I can see at least 39… I’m counting more but it says there are only 39 so I’m probably counting wrong. Anyway I see 39 and yellow is my favorite color. WHAT NOW?
Can I talk about one line I especially appreciate in Undertale?
On it’s own, this line is a huge wham line of feelings on its own. It’s one of the pinnacles of the Pacifist run. It’s a single sentence basically summing up the morals used through said run, and it’s pretty heavy. But it also has a personal meaning to me, and I’d like to talk about the way the lowercase ‘love’ is used.
Throughout the game of Undertale there is no direct romance involving Frisk. (They’re a child, first of all, and that’s just not the focus of the game in general), yet, this term is used.
‘Love’. In media you never really hear that outside of sexual and/or romantic relationships. You only hear the term ‘love’ when kisses or romantic partners are being described. And as an Aromantic it’s almost alienating to me. You can’t ‘love’ your friends in media. You’re ‘best friends’. Or you ‘Care about each other’. And in familial relationships only young children tend to say they ‘love’ each other. It’s never used like that. It’s as if media treats those two types of love as somehow less real.
But they’re not. They’re just as, if not more, important as romantic ‘love’. And frankly I love that this one line throws that idea down the drain.
