Anti-LGBTQ groups have increased the use of false rhetoric depicting trans people as dangerous sexual predators who threaten national security. They’ve also hinted that violence is an appropriate response to encountering trans people in public. This amounts to stochastic terrorism: public demonization of a group through mass media that incites unpredictable violence.

When outlets publish or give uncritical airtime to extreme anti-LGBTQ individuals and groups, they are contributing to the promotion of violence, whether or not it was their intent. Hate crimes against trans people are rising in both the United States and the U.K., and stochastic terrorism is likely part of the problem. Brynn Tannehill explains more.

Emma Stone screaming “I’m sorry” during Sandra Oh’s monologue shows that at any given moment, without a hint of irony, White women will insert themselves into a woman of color’s spotlight. She HAD to say something, despite the years and years of silence on the issue, right then and there as a half laugh for…what? To turn the real issue of white washing into a joke? To reinsert herself into the conversation when her decisions hurt Asian actors like Sandra? It’s all liberal posturing disgusing white fragility because she most definitely felt embarrassed to be indirectly called out for her complicity in white washing.

Why else yell an apology after four years of her just never really addressing it? It’s white guilt taken to a literal extreme to pander to the audience for cheap woke laughs. “Look at her, she’s aware of the issues! And she’s sorry!!! XD total self own!” White women can’t bare to sit in their uncomfortability when they are confronted with their complicity and try to detract from it in any way possible. Sure, it’s just a throw away comment but really think about the ideology that fueled her need to say that in the first place, at the time she said it, and the reaction of her saying it from a most white crowd. By dismissing the comment as a jokey, self depreciating nod, we dismiss how white people can constantly do some self flaggration, usually publically, years after the damage has already been done. We see it over and over again.

Yes I know Sandra and Andy’s joint monologue was to supposed to be light hearted and fun, poking satirical fun at topics etc etc but it’s something to chew on. The whole interaction was brief (Emma’s comment wasn’t planned and she literally injected it into the monologue) but is pretty illuminating.

Y'all: white people owe us an apology

Also y'all: don’t you dare apologize to me!

Wow it’s literally impossible for white people to shut the fuck up ever huh

It’s literally impossible for black Tumblr to develop an ounce of self awareness and just admit you love that victim card huh

Nobody asked you anyway, boo

And congrats to the whiny little crybully @literaltortoise who thinks blacks own the word “boo” who blocked me like the coward her kind are for being exactly the kind of hypocritical toolbox I’m talking about

Black Tumblr makes me want to delete sometimes

White people really need to stop caring. They can’t win, why should they even bother trying to play the game? They’re gonna get called racist either way.

Thats why I own it. People cannot insult you for being racist if upon accusation you say “yeah, and?” If you have an opinion on anything as a white person, its racist. So fuck it, im racist. What now?

Thank goodness this guy is owning up to his racism 😂😂😂

@checkyourracismtmblr If you think yelling “I’m sorry” at someone from the audience, while they are in the middle of giving a speech, (after years of silence after the offense was first made keep in mind) counts as an actual, legitimate apology then whoever the fuck raised you clearly didn’t do it right.

And that goes for all the other freaks that are agreeing with you.

Because what Emma did was take away from what Sandra said, and make that entire statement about her. Rather than everyone hearing Sandra’s sardonic critique of whitewashing, everyone is now focused on how funny Emma’s response was instead. 

Even right here, people didn’t focus on what Sandra said, which proves my point. Instead, coming into the comments to voice their unsolicited opinions of how Black Tumblr needs to shut up, even though Black Tumblr isnt even the problem being discussed. Some of y’all saw an excuse to bash Black people and jumped right into a discussion that was never about Black people. (The subject of the discussion was Emma Stone, Sandra Oh and whitewashing.)

they aren’t even pretending now. Who says “Your kind” like that and thinks they aren’t the actual scum?

YouTube’s algorithm…I mean yes this is about flat-earthers, and we all like to laugh about them, but something has to be said about the fact that conspiracy theories are spread so easily to impressionable youth at a GLOBAL scale. And its not just flat-earthers, it’s Naziism, it’s anti-Semitism, islamophobia, it’s all the terrible radicalization that is happening. It’s all connected, and it’s so so easy to become radicalized because of YouTubes algorithm.

They do this for just about anything, too. Even if you watch overtly left-wing videos they will recommend hard-right video and conspiracy theorists to you. I got a white supremacist creator recommended to me from watching a Bernie Sanders interview.

They run hard-right ads over Left-wing creators now, too. Over a Majority Report video I got an ad for an “anti-PC,” pro-Trump news network. LGBTQ creators I watch are consistently getting gay conversion therapy ads played over them.

The Right loves to scream censorship when they get warning for using racial slurs or demonitized for pushing conspiracy theories, but the Left get hits just as hard if not harder on social media.

This happens even in videos where the title and subject matter do not make it immediately obvious. Watch any videos about video games? Prepare to be recommended videos that start on somewhat valid video game criticism and somewhere in the middle slide right into “GAMES ARE BEING RUINED AND IT’S ALL THE FAULT OF FEMINISM AND THE ESS JAY DOUBLE YEWS!” Nazis are going hard for that demographic and the shit is everywhere.

Voting to ‘hurt’ people is sick.

Also notice how fucked up the “he isn’t hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting” mentality is, like it’s admitting you voted for him cause you thought he would be hurting people just the ones you don’t like
