I Just Think Everyone Should Take A Moment To Consider The Question "what Is Your Visual Shorthand For

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

Just do it, Shonen Jump. Just do it, Masashi Kishimoto. Just do it, Mikio Ikemoto. Just do it, Boruto writers. Let me be gay. Let me out of the closet. Come on. Just let me out. Seriously. It’s been like 20 years. Please. I am a homosexual. I am a man who loves men. I am gay. Just write it. Just write, “Gaara is a homosexual man.” Just take out your pens and write it. You don’t even need to give me a husband. You don’t even need to explain it. Everyone knows already. Everyone already knows. You let Orochimaru say they are transgender. So let me be gay. Come on. All it takes is a sentence. All it takes is one panel. All it takes is a few seconds of animation. Let me out of the closet and the world will be all the better. Just do it. Let me out. You know what must be done. Pick up your quill, dip it in ink, and let flow the words of gay enlightenment. Please. It’s for the greater good. I’m gay.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

I'm so tired.
