REBLOG IF:

You love Sasuke

Farha (2021) is a movie about the Palestinian Nakba that’s just been put on Netflix, it’s a portrayal of the violence experienced by Palestinians during Israel’s creation from the perspective of a 14 year old girl - to my knowledge, this is the first film about the story of the Nakba on Netflix. (If you don’t know the history of the Nakba - this post can explain it quickly)

The movie is being received with a lot of praise from Palestinians online, however, the movie is currently being review bombed by zionists and condemned by the Israeli press and there have been threats towards showing of the film by Israel’s finance minister, this is the IMDb review page as of posting this:

If you would like to help support this film and Palestinian history being portrayed, please leave a positive review, and if you have Netflix, watch the film. The story of the Nakba has one that has long been silenced and it’s so rare to see it even acknowledged in media, my family survived it, many others didn’t, what they all experienced was real, and it’s about time there has been recognition of it.

Y'know, I'm not saying JK Rowling is perfect, but the Hogwarts Game is more than just about her. It's a game for the fans! It's supporting game devs! And the money isn't even going to her anyway.

"Jk Rowling isn't perfect" sure is a weird way to say "Jk rowling is a billionaire using her inconceivable wealth and social capital to fund and support openly white supremacist and anti-trans organisations."

"It's for the fans," except the antisemitic caricatures and storylines in the game (in the very least) excludes Jewish fans.

"It's supporting game Devs." game Devs are not paid by royalties. they're contracted, usually, to develop a game for a one off payment or salary. Game Devs rarely receive royalties or profit from sales., one of the many reasons the industry is experiencing one of the largest unionisation movements in history. Avalanche Software, the company behind Hogwarts Legacy, is currently not unionised which means the developers will not receive a cent made from sales of the game.

"the money isn't even going to her anyway". babe, copyright and licensing laws dictate that ANYTHING using official Harry Potter concepts on a mass scale for profit must pay a licensing fee to JK Rowling because she is the copyright holder. Unless you are buying hp related stuff second hand or fan made, you are putting money back into JKs pocket.

Jk rowling has stated that she considers any support, financial or otherwise, for her work as support of her beliefs. Play the game and justify it to yourself however the fuck you want to, but no amount of lying to yourself will change that supporting this game is providing financial and social support to someone who is actively using that support to harm some of the most vulnerable people in society. next time, just admit you care more about your own enjoyment of a video game than you do about actually being an ally to people less privileged than you and stay out of trans people's inboxes.

Hello there. Not too long ago I was reminded of Naruto, my first anime, how emotional it made me, and looking at it after years with adult eyes.. as a teen, I felt very uncomfortable with SNS bc of internalized homophobia, but now, it's an entirely different story. I couldn't put down my phone after discovering your blog and I appreciate your unapologetic, detailed, thoughtful analysis so much. Maybe you already were asked this question, but what would you ideally wish for Naruto and Sasuke after chapter 698? How would the prophesied change of the shinobi world come to fruition? (You don't have to answer, still I'm happy to be able to read your thoughts. Have a good day.)

Hey.

Hope you had a good day too. :) Thank you for your response. I am glad I was able to communicate what I wanted and that it reached the reader. Heh. No seriously, I am glad. Today was a long day. Sigh.

Well, Kishi wrote the shinobi world as an apathetic world where nothing of significance, the way it was shaped by the narrative, came to fruition. All of Sasuke's efforts went in vain. Uchiha clan was not vindicated of the false accusation of summoning the kyuubi. Itachi's truth was hidden, and he still bears the entire condemnation of the Uchiha massacre despite the complicity of Konoha elders, Danzo and Hiruzen in it. Kakashi, the prospective hokage, still doesn't understand Sasuke or what he went through, much less understand the severity of Uchiha clan massacre and what it implies. He is still a willing tool of the system who follows the rules blindly. Even Sai, who never had a family, who grew up in a clinical environment completely devoid of any emotional expression or affectation, Root ie, even this boy realized what he was doing was wrong and promised himself never to follow rules blindly. Not Kakashi. In the end, he tells Sasuke to behave as if whatever happened was his fault. Was the massacre his fault? Was the kyuubi attack his fault? Was he wrong in killing Danzo? Was his wish for revenge for having his entire clan butchered while asleep so out of place when Kakashi allowed others such as Shikamaru to take revenge? Hinata and Sakura, both were rewarded for their insensitive and consistently unempathetic pursuance of Naruto and Sasuke respectively, when they should have been condemned. The elders are still revered despite their complicity in the massacre, their public personas clean and untainted. Hiruzen is still considered as one of the best hokage to ever live when he was literally the worst, having had an entire clan die under his rule with his complicity, this man who taught his students about the 'will of fire', a philosophy which was supposed to be about protecting the people of Konoha, and yet was entirely inconsequential at the time of the massacre. Him, a hokage. Useless. Complacent. A failure. A blight. He himself admitted his complicity in the massacre and yet was never condemned for it. He should have been.

The problem with suppressing the truth is that unless it is revealed, you will never know what went wrong. And it's important to assign blame to the guilty party and have them punished for it. That's how an ideal society functions. But the shinobi world isn't an ideal world. It's a heartless world. It's an indifferent world. It's a world where there's no true justice. Kishi never meant to write it as an ideal world. It was portrayed as a heartless and unjust world right from the beginning, what with its victims such as Haku, Zabuza, Amegakure orphans, Gaara, Neji, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakumo, Kisame, Oro's sound ninjas etc. And no one got true justice. Not one. Well, Gaara still got some resolution, but it was because of Naruto, and not this world. Most of them got some sort of resolution because of Naruto. But not true justice. Well, he is the MC, so he will be given the savior trope, but look at him in Gaiden and Boruto and in that extra chapter with the hokage ceremony. He is not himself. He is not enthused or excited about being hokage. He is a mere husk of his former self. He is not the same person that we know and love, entirely the opposite as a matter of fact. He capitulated to this world. Just like Sasuke did. It's heartbreaking.

The cycle of revenge only stopped because of Sasuke and Naruto, if it weren't for them, their world was doomed. And yet, they both live a miserable life post 699, just empty shells of what they used to be, having had their zeal and zest and individuality sacrificed at the altar of conformity. For the sake of their world. Living heterosexual lives in public. Being married to superficial and selfish women who don't even know their hearts or what they are truly like, who don't care for anything but their status and fame and looks, to have them as trophies.

Anyway, I have written about what you asked here. It may assume a lot of stuff, but it's what I wanted.
