James Morrissey (and a bunch of other people) asked: i guess your website should now be called “what’s the most racist shit you can find?”. this is a trayvon martin shooting range target (complete with hoodie, skittles and ice tea)
Yo, so here’s the thing, in case you’re extra naive and thought there was some way that both sides of the Trayvon Martin discussion were decent people with a difference of opinion: this exists. Whenever you think racism is on the wane, or that people who are angered by racism are oversensitive, or that my language is too strong, remember: these fucks are celebrating the cold-blooded murder of a kid.
“Oof. I’m a like burrito stuffed with soreness and shame right now.”
When I was in WGST 120 my first semester at college, a girl in my class discussed her intense childhood fear of this Power Puff Girls character, Mojo Jojo, in a zine she wrote. She realized that her fear was exacerbated by Mojo Jojo’s depiction as a cross-dresser or trans* person. He is devilish in appearance and he is the arch nemesis of the Power Puff Girls.
My classmate went on to discuss images of trans* people in media, including the “evil” versus “comic relief” tropes that often represent them. Either a gender variant person is some sort of devil, or they are just so fucking hilarious because they can’t pass and therefore become “pathetic”.
Wonderful analysis, but uh, as a lifelong Powerpuffer? I have to correct you and let you know that this is Him. Not Mojo Jojo. Mojo Jojo is a green ape with a glass case over the brain.
thank you for injecting some t into this overdid feminist 101 critique.time to move from observation and feelings and associations, to now what?
#1 reason critique fail? dumb ass people refusing to check their facts.
I’m sort of over looking at media but I just want to say that as a trans person (although not femme ID’ed) I LOVE Him. As a kid I loved Him. They are a badass fucking up the system and gender norms. Can’t hate that. Let’s talk about what the Powderpuff Girls represent. Lackies for the state? I think so.

Gawd. Damn. It. AFTER CeCe has taken a plea bargain. AFTER. Blow Pony decides to post an old ass video about her case.
Fine. People and organizations make mistakes. In context of this group though this is an example of the lack of caring and effort made by white cis male led queer groups to be true allies. This group continually spouts nonsense about being allies to the trans community and to QPOC communities and pulls shit like this.
I was already done but now I’m like EXTRA done. Crispy done.
