I’m Gonna Say Something Controversial

I’m gonna say something controversial

I do not know what’s the problem with Thomas Jefferson Hatsune Miku Binder.

Like, I understand the criticisms of Hamilton, how it rewrites history, that it gives the founding fathers a better rep than they deserve and leaves out small things like. uh. slavery

And I understand the praise! That people of color get to reclaim the “American Dream”-narrative, and that the musical itself gives opportunities for people of color.

I don’t think, as a white Austrian, I get to comment on that. And I personally don’t care enough about Hamilton (the person and the musical) to have an opinion.

But I don’t get what the controversy is about Jefferson Miku Binder.

Like, if Thomas Jefferson was a piece of shit, I hope he rolls in his grave that that is a widely recognised piece of his legacy. I personally like making fun of slave owners.

“But he was a founding father djanrhaufbak” don’t care, I don’t respect them. I’ve personally seen worse shit than making a trans version of a character of a fanfic version of a founding father.

I don’t cringe when I see it, I laugh. Unless I’m missing something and am horribly wrong, in which case please educate me, I don’t hate Hatsune Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson.

can you imagine how freaky shark mermaids would be like unlike sharks, shark mermaids would have actual arms/hands and could rely on touching things with their hands to see if they’re prey rather than having to bite like sharks do. like youre just swimming in the ocean and suddenly you feel a strong grip on your leg, you freak the FUCK out because uh what????? the fuck??? youre swimming alone in the ocean??

a head pops out of the water, dorsal fin pointed from its back and it just points at you and says in a low whisper: “i thought you were a seal. please dont swim alone like this, im sorry i scared you i just wanted to see what you are” and then disappears back into the depth. what the fuck.

Imagine not being awake to experience the wonders of the morning. Yes I tend to get eepy around 11 fight me. I’m comfy in my jammies and under the motherfucking sheets. Straight up snoozing. Do something about it

Being a night owl in a friend group of early sleepers (be it naturally or because of work schedules) really sucks, but it’s also fun in a way. It sucks because I‘m alone and don’t have anyone to yap to but it’s also fun because I can spam them with dumb thoughts, memes, art, and so on without them being able to complain about it >:3c
