Stop Asian Hate - Blog Posts

The NYPD deleted this tweet, but the fact is they proudly displayed having caught people who took diapers and cough medicine.

Basic. Necessities.

This is not public safety. This is cruelty on display.

Just to get this straight.

(Or as straight as possible)

(TW: mentioning of R*pe)

Men can dress feminine, women can dress masculine: clothes don’t have to have a Gender.

It’s also ok to dress feminine and like „feminine“ things as a woman.

Just as men are allowed to like „feminine“ things, and women are allowed to like „masculine“ things.

Equal rights does not mean, that the ones who want equal rights will have more rights than the ones who already do. Because equal does not mean that the ones who have the right already will lose it.

Someone being offended by what you may call your „Dark Humor“ does often not mean that they are sensitive, but that what your joking about was inappropriate. And I am talking about r*pe jokes, jokes about cultural or racial prejudices, body shape, disabilities etc. If someone feels offended or hurt by something, it is not funny.

Someone having a different culture, sex, religion, skin colour or over all appearance than yourself, does not make them less worthy of equality and love.

Let’s celebrate our differences and learn from each other, instead of demonising everything that’s different.

Pedophiles and Zoophiles are not part of the LGBTQ+ Community

Violence is not a solution.

Someone who’s having a disability isn’t any less human because of it.

Someone peacefully living and/or practicing their religion or culture is not a threat to anyone.

Hating someone because of the way they look, dress, or because of the country their from, is not ok.

Having a mental illness is ok, and not a shame.

Being afraid is ok, and not a shame.

Asexuals & Aromantics are a valid part of the LGBTQ+ Community.

Not to know which gender your identify with, if even, is ok.

Not knowing what your romantic or sexual attraction is, is ok.

Having sex with your partner without their clear consent is in fact R*pe.

Yes, r*pe can go both ways, men can be r*ped by women just as they can be r*ped by men. And women can be r*ped other by women just as they can be r*ped by men. But the fact is, that the r*pists are male in most cases.

It’s ok to not want children.

Your body, your choice.

Not liking someone is ok, attacking or threatening them and/or their families, is not.

Loving yourself and your body, is ok.

Feeling beautiful, is ok.

Having a bad day is ok too.

Being yourself is ok.

And no I do not mean it’s ok to harass, attack, invalidate, kill (or whatever else that you know I did not mean) people because that‘s „who you are“.

That’s the lamest excuse I‘ve ever heard and ever will hear.

Hi! Sorry but- USA is falling apart. What was an american dream became an absolute nightmare. There is nothing else that we ask for only peace and freedom but that is not what we are getting right now. There are racists, homophobes, sexists, and currently there are unnecessary attacks going on in the middle east especially Palestine. America points guns while Palestinians only have their prayers, i must inform everyone because i went to a protest yesterday with a very, very dear friend to support her cause and her country. Everyday there are innocent men, women, and children that get attacked by bombing, machinery, and bullet ablaze. There are billions of money that are going to the Israel military occupation, whom are also attacking Palestine and it's not just them. "We don't want two countries, they want 48." Don't let this continue. Help us stop this. Help us shout to the world, and free them of their chains. No more terror. This has to stop, and this has to end. Just because there is ONE bad apple doesn't mean that the rest is rotten. They want to be heard. I want to be heard. So please help us, inform others around you. Don't help those corrupted with power to keep on traumatizing, stop the pain and suffering, help STOP the tears that flow from their eyes and onto the thousands upon thousands of bodies that are left to be covered. My art is also there-

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE

FREE, FREE PALESTINE

IT'S NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE, IT'S A HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE

بالروح بالدم نفديك يا فلسطين

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

id in alt

God okay I'm just. So fucking tired. So here's a list of resources to educate yourself on issues within Star Wars. In light of the Bad Batch Finale and the announcement of the second season, it's vital that you educate yourself about the racism and other issues present.

Reminder that you cannot be in the middle. You are either racist or anti-racist. If you do not practice anti-racism and choose to stay "neutral", you are only supporting a system that constantly perpetuates racism and harms people.

And if for some reason, you think I'm overreacting; for some reason, you think I'm sensitive; for some reason, your first instinct is to get defensive and lash out; you really need to do some thinking as to why you want to scream at POC who just want the right to be recognized and seen. Who just want the right to not be erased.

And if you think this is "not good enough" because they're "just blog posts" or whatever - don't bullshit me. Even if I posted a shit ton of scholarly articles you wouldn't have read them anyway if you're coming at me with excuses for why you think the discrimination is okay. These posts are accessible, and well-written, and straight from the lived experiences of the many minorities and the allies that want to amplify their voices. I'm not asking you to take everything at face value. I'm asking you to do your own research and engage in some critical thinking instead of blindly accepting what you're given.

*Disclaimer: while I have read these sources, i read some a while ago and if there's an issue you have with some of them let me know!

(If your post is listed and you want me to take it off the list please dm me and let me know!)

Oh, and by the way, if you think "it's just fiction you're just overreacting this doesn't hurt anyone": news flash: it sure does.

What I've listed above is only a single drop in a massive ocean. There are so, so many other minority groups who are also suffering that I haven't listed. I haven't even touched on homophobia, on transphobia, and I've barely touched on ableism, not to mention that there's so many other issues out there. I haven't talked about the issues with how the Tuskens are portrayed, or how Watto is portrayed, or how Jar Jar Binks was portrayed, or how Kelly Marie Tran was treated, or how Trace and Rafa Martez were treated, or how the fandom hates Mace Windu, or how Poe's backstory was butchered, or much, much more. If you have more resources, please please please share them in the reblogs. It is impossible to encompass everything in a single post, but we sure as hell can try.

Alright. I've given you the resources. I've given you my time and energy. It's up to you now to educate yourself. It's ok to make mistakes - we're constantly learning and unlearning. It's ok to need to take breaks, and to save this for later because you're tired and the world is going to shit. We are human.

But it's not okay to stay willfully ignorant. It's not okay to constantly try and belittle the trauma and struggles of minorities just because you've been okay living in a system that's built on oppression. Educate yourself.

One more tip: when reblogging or sharing your own resources, flood your tags with everything to do with Star Wars. Flood the Crosshair tag. Flood the Hunter and Omega tag. Flood the tags, because this is relevant to their characters and to the entire saga, and fans need to know.

Including tags of the people I posted resources from under the cut!

STOP ASIAN VIOLENCE

As an Asian, I feel like I have the need to speak out, but there might not be a lot of people who see this. So please, if you can, reblog for me. we need to spread the information.

70.9% of 2808 reported incidents are verbal harassment

21.4% of 2080 reported incidents are shunning

8.7% are physical assault

8% are workplace discrimination or refusal of service

6.4% are coughed/spat on

and these are only REPORTED CASES (March - December 2020)

Here are some reported attacks from around May 2021

An 84-year-old Thai immigrant in San Francisco, California, died in February after being violently shoved to the ground during his morning walk

In Oakland, California, a 91-year-old senior was shoved to the pavement from behind

An 89-year-old Chinese woman was slapped and set on fire by two people in Brooklyn, New York

Two Asian American women were stabbed at a San Francisco bus stop; eyewitness reports say the assailant "casually walked away in broad daylight"

An Asian man walking with his 1-year-old child in a stroller in San Francisco was punched in the head and back multiple times

A stranger on the New York subway slashed a 61-year-old Filipino American passenger's face with a box cutter

An Asian American woman in New York City was struck in the head with a hammer by an unidentified assailant who demanded that she remove her mask

Asian American restaurant employees in New York City told the New York Times they now always go home early for fear of violence and harassment

An Asian American butcher shop owner in Sacramento, California found a dead cat - likely intended for her - left in the store's parking lot; police are investigating it as a hate crime

An Asian American family celebrating a birthday at a restaurant in Carmel, California, was berated with racist slurs by a Trump-supporting tech executive

Several Asian Americans homeowners say they've been abused with racial slurs and had rocks thrown at their houses

The only Asian American lawmaker in the Kansas legislature says he was physically threatened in a bar by a patron who accused him of carrying the coronavirus

New York police arrested a man who assaulted a woman during a protest against anti-Asian racism

A grieving family received a hateful letter on the day of their father's funeral, telling them to "pack your bags and go back to your country where you belong"

A school board candidate of Vietnamese descent in Portland, Oregon, found a note with the words "Kung Flu" on her doorstep

A medical worker of Filipino descent in Los Gatos, California was shoved to the ground from behind by an assailant who told her to "go back to [expletive] China"

A Thai woman was brutally beaten and robbed of her phone while commuting on a train in San Francisco

These incidents are best explained by the "widespread omission" of Asian Americans within cultural conversations, according to Amanda Nguyen, an activist, and the founder of the Rise civil rights not-for-profit organization.

Of the 832 incidents reported in California, many included anti-Asian slurs and references to China and the coronavirus. One assailant yelled about "bringing that Chinese virus over here" during an attack against an Asian-American man at a San Francisco hardware store on May 6. The assailant reportedly also said "Go back to China," "F*ck you, Chinaman" and "F*ck you, you monkey." In Santa Clara on June 16, a man kicked a woman's dog and then spat at her, saying, "Take your disease that's ruining our country and go home."

Asian American families shouldn't be worrying about returning back to school, buying groceries, working, and so on, in their country. They shouldn't be worrying about their family going on a morning walk and not coming back.

"These are real people just living their lives and encountering this kind of hate,"

Here are some videos I found, if you have time, please watch the videos.

Yes, black lives STILL matter. Yes, LGBTQ+'s rights still matter. But I feel like we are overlooking the Asian Hate.

BLM, LGBTQ+, Asian Hate, women's rights, and more. They're NOT a trend, and I DESPISE those people who see these as a trend to get more fame. We are all in this together, there's no race in this pandemic. The virus isn't racist, you won't get the virus BECAUSE you are white, you won't get the virus BECAUSE you are black. Skin colors do NOT matter to the virus, so why should they matter to us? If we want to end this pandemic, we need to fight TOGETHER.

Thank you for spending your time reading this. Please, if you can, reblog.

I want you to know BLACK LIVES MATTER.

That just because I’m a different poc doesn’t mean your problem isn’t my problem. Injustice happening to my African American community, Asian, Muslim, Palestinians. Any injustice to you is an injustice for pocs. And people really hate that my account isn’t about just one social injustice.

I will forever advocate and support anyone that faced unfairness, discrimination, and straight hate for being who they are.

I support our trans community, I support the lgbtq+, I support poc businesses. And fight against injustice. Fight against sexism, fight against discrimination, fight against racism, and a fight against child abuse.

I come from a very hateful home, I experienced most of everything that I fight against. And if I didn’t experience it myself I witness it first hand happening to another.

The people who want us angry, bitter and revengeful are the same people who will have us against each other and ask the question “what has _____ community done for you??” Or “Your community is so racist how could I you even say you support us”

I’ll never let someone’s stupid opinion of me change what I think is important. This account is all about support of diverse communities and I may not know everything so when I slip up my only request is that you educate me and teach me how to help.

Knowledge can bring us together, but we can’t let the ones who are against us, bring us to fight one another. When you see another community in need that’s different from yours learn about it, reach out and help.

Every community has its flaws. Black eyed peas,

Where is the love

“But if you only have love for your own race. Then you only leave space to discriminate. And to discriminate only generates hate. And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah. Madness is what you demonstrate. And that's exactly how anger works and operates. Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight. Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all”.

People. Are. Dying. PLEASE REBLOG! And donate if you can!

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.
