The Best Notes Written In Manuscripts By Medieval Monks

DDLC ruinz our chilrdn

I actually played it. It was spectacular. It was also disturbing and gory, and unsuitable for kids. You know... EXACTLY LIKE IT SAID IN THE DOWNLOADS. Or the opening message. Or everywhere if you bothered to check what the hell your child does on the computer. This is a big issue, but what actually inspired my rant here is something else. It's when people say: "insert game/book/movie/etc containing themes of mental illness is harmful to young people. " Oh please. You know what's harmful? MENTAL ILLNESS. Since DDLC (Doki Doki Literature Club for those who don't have Google), or rather articles about it, inspired me to write this, I'll tell you some things about it. It dealt with depression, self harm, domestic abuse, and it accurately illustrated how isolation and lack of professional care can, in fact, kill. There was some other stuff about AIs and existential questioning too. Anyway, my point is: don't demonize a work of art dealing with mental illness. Dan Salvato and his team are not trying to kill your kids.They're making a story, and at the same time warning about depression and suicide. Mental illness is harmful. Remember that next time someone loses their life. TL;DR : READ THE WARNINGS. Just because it's animation doesn't mean it's suitable for everyone.

BADASSES

There’s a team of women in India who bring justice to the oppressed women of their country. ‘The Gulabi Gang’ wear pink saris, carry bamboo sticks as weapons, and are trained in counter- aggression techniques, like smearing abusive men with chili powder. If police fail to help an abused woman, the gang steps in and asks the husband to change his ways- but if he won’t, they ask his wife to join them in beating him.

I am very saddened by this. I hope new leaders will emerge and continue his fight. 

Silverman was found hanging in the garage of his own home in northeast Calgary, where he had run the Men’s Alternative Safe House (MASH). He had just sold the property because he could no longer afford to operate the shelter . He had paid for the shelter out of his own pocket, but could not raise enough money from either government or private donations. The shelter accommodated about 20 men and some children while it was open. In a four-page suicide note, Silverman blamed the government for failing to recognize male victims of domestic abuse and for not providing enough services to help those in need of. MASH was not recognized by any government agency, . Silverman unsuccessfully lobbied both the provincial and federal governments to provide more funding for his various projects aimed at helping victims like himself. Silverman had fled an abusive relationship with his wife 20 years ago, an experience which led him to become involved in the men’s rights.“When I went into the community looking for some support services, I couldn’t find any. There were a lot for women, and the only programs for men were for anger management. EQUAL RESOURCES FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW.

AHAHAHAHA

Poe: is this the First Order?

Hux:

Towa's sword is broken, does that mean we get to see Totosai again? What about Myoga? Can't wait for all the good stuff to kick in, I wanna see some battles and epic storytelling.

She learned from Moe in like 3 days, she’s just THAT GOOD

I took lessons for 6 years and lemme tell you, that’s the most unrealistic thing to happen in this entire feudal FAIRYTALE

Setsuna needs to learn a new fucking song on that violin

Sunrise needs to explain how she even knows how to play the violin since that doesn’t exist in feudal era Japan

I'm convinced some people on Tumblr confuse gender with personality

Agreed.

Not every character needs to be in a romantic relationship reblog if you agree
