so weird how in english some words are really just used in expressions and not otherwise… like has anyone said “havoc” when not using it in the phrase “wreaking havoc”? same goes for “wreaking” actually…

reply with more, i’m fascinated

these are called fossil words! here’s a whole list

i see a lot of people saying this or that could kill a medieval peasant or a victorian child, and i feel we need to make an important distinction: medieval peasants watched executions for fun, and had absolutely no spices for their food. victorian children were very sheltered, and had cocaine and opium in every single medicine. a sour skittle could kill a medieval peasant. kin discourse could kill a victorian child.

has anyone checked on tony hawk recently

Holy artifacts of our lord the hawk

ok maybe this is conspiracy theory thinking, but has anyone thought about the possibility that he could be creating horcruxes? I envision some punk kid searching out lost skateboards in the wastelands of a distant future

okay but isn’t this the same shit they tried to cancel lil nas x for just a couple weeks ago?

the number of people in the replies who think that outrage against satanic aesthetics is somehow justified fucking blows my mind. it’s 2021. the satanic panic is over girl.

lil nas x, a gay black man, using satanic aesthetics is an intentional choice to create social commentary. jazz and rock n roll, styles of music invented and developed by black people, were called devil music. queer people are constantly maligned as being in legion with the devil. this is exactly the kind of trope he is invoking and subverting here.

it’s also worth considering why the blood of a gay black man may be seen as more “unclean” in comparison to that of a straight white man—like perhaps gay black men were particularly at risk during the AIDS crisis.

lil nas x understands what he’s doing and he’s right to point out the double standard.

lastly: if you’re christian and you’re offended by someone utilizing satanic aesthetics in the 21st century, all i can do is laugh. your religion has dominated the globe for centuries. christians have wiped out countless indigenous belief systems and subjugated all sorts of “heathen” peoples. if the people you’ve stigmatized by calling us devil worshipers want to take your boogeyman and make him sexy or transgressive, it’s our prerogative.

Also if the argument is “satanic aesthetics” it’s worth mentioning that tony hawk did this in partnership with Liquid Death, who’s aesthetic looks like this:

And the skateboards themselves look like this:

For the record Liquid Death are actually super cool and do some cool stuff, like the charity work with these skateboards, but their Aesthetic doesn’t exactly scream “good God-fearing Christians” either, so the double standard is pretty evident

Reblogging yet again because not only does Liquid Death’s style look badass, but it goes to show how much the backlash against Lil’ Nas X is actually rooted in racism and bigotry masquerading as religious outrage.

Update!

“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand
