Damian Wayne by Cameron Stewart

cornflakepizza:

So apparently Teen Titans #1 has been reprinted to remove all references to Tim ever being Robin and any previous iterations of the Teen Titans. The text has been edited in some instances, and in other instances completely removed. I just…no. What the fuck. WHAT THE FUCK.

So, they’ve now officially erased Tim’s history of discovering Bruce and Dick’s identities as a child and becoming the third Robin. Tim has also never been Red Robin as we’ve known him; he never branched out on his own after Dick chose Damian as his Robin, and he never looked for Bruce after he died. His fighting with Damian in the New 52 is just…what, extremely petty bickering? 

R.I.P. clever, sweet, geeky, boy wonder detective Tim Drake.

You SHOULD know this, because it is INCREDIBLY important and something that wasn’t acknowledged until very, VERY recently.

(I did a history project on this in Y9. We got to do something from the 20th century; everyone else did, like, Marilyn Monroe, and I read a translation of Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel and then did my project on that. Cheerful, no, but important to know about, yes.)

whaaaaat, seriously?!

In 1950, East Germany abolished Nazi amendments to Paragraph 175, whereas West Germany kept them and even had them confirmed by its Constitutional Court.

Well, that’s horrifying.

Oh my god

Homosexual concentration camp prisoners were not acknowledged as victims of Nazi persecution.^[7] Reparations and state pensions available to other groups were refused to gay men, who were still classified as criminals — the Nazi anti-gay law was not repealed until 1994, although both East and West Germany liberalized their criminallaws against adult homosexuality in the late 1960s.

“Gay Holocaust” survivors could be re-imprisoned for “repeat offences”, and were kept on the modern lists of “sex offenders”. Under the Allied Military Government of Germany, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment, regardless of the time spent in concentration camps. (X)

Also worth mentioning that homosexuals are still largely unacknowledged as victims of the Holocaust even within circles where they should know better.  For example, in the Holocaust Museum in DC and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, gay deaths are acknowledged only in passing and there is not a single picture of a “man of the pink triangle” - only of an empty ballroom that had once held a gay dance club.  When Yad Vashem was completely redone in 2005, gay groups pressed for inclusion alongside other non-Jewish groups such as the disabled, Roma, etc., and numerous senior-level officials and the Rabbinate condemned such requests for inclusion, with some going so far as to suggest that the homosexuals were German criminals and therefore did not belong in the same category as the Jews who had done nothing wrong.  When the memorial to gays in the Holocaust was unveiled in Berlin four years ago, senior members of Yad Vashem condemned it and, in particular, its proximity to the memorial for Jewish victims of the Shoah.

this planet shouldn’t be allowed to exist any longer

This is important. Of all the WWII history I learned in school, this was never once mentioned.

Oh my GOD.

And now my soul is bleeding.

Re-blogging again because when I was being taught the history of Nazi Germany, THIS WAS NEVER EVER EVER MENTIONED. NOT ONCE. 

Yeah, it never was. I don’t think I found this out until… maybe a book mentioned it, but I don’t think I knew until I got involved with the GSRM community.

This is the first I have ever heard about this ever.  I am sad.

The chief Raoni cries when he learns that Brazilian President Dilma [Rousseff] released the beginning of construction of the hydroelectric plant of Belo Monte, even after tens of thousands of letters and emails addressed to her and which were ignored as the more than 600 000 signatures. That is, the death sentence of the peoples of Great Bend of the Xingu river is enacted. Belo Monte will inundate at least 400,000 hectares of forest, an area bigger than the Panama Canal, thus expelling 40,000 indigenous and local populations and destroying habitat valuable for many species - all to produce electricity at a high social, economic and environmental cost, which could easily be generated with greater investments in energy efficiency.

 

Please if you are reading this take 30 seconds of your time to reblog or at least read this. Even if it doesn’t match the “theme” of your blog or if you think it does not affect you. LOOK at that man crying. He is you

SO FUCKED UP

This is so awful. 

have some empathy and read this

I fucking hate my country sometimes. Hate it.

This is heartbreaking. Ugh, I hate this world sometimes.

Of fucking course. After all, only “primitive” “Indians” live there, and they can just go live in some other part of the (ever-shrinking, via both technically-legal development like this bullshit and illegal-but-rarely-interfered-with logging) rainforest, right? It’s not like they actually own their own ancestral lands or anything. Clearly their inefficient use of the natural resources (obviously inefficient, since most of the resources are still there) proves that people in distant cities deserve to benefit from that land more than they do. Really, it’s best for these “backward” “natives” to be removed from the rainforest and “integrated” into “normal” Brazilian “society” — it’s for their own good!

Apparently Brazil’s government missed the memo about this being the 21st century, and they think it’s still the 1940s?

Shame on you, President Dilma Rousseff.
May your home never again be free of leaking roofs, plumbing failures, floods or mudslides.
May all that is precious to you be stolen, desecrated and destroyed.
May you live to be held accountable for your crimes against humanity and suffer the judicial punishments you have earned.

Hm. I think I’ll actually send a snail-mail letter to that effect, too… is anyone reading this fluent enough to translate that execration into Brazilian Portuguese for me?

I have nothing to add to my better half’s words.

Congratulations! Red Hood and the Outlaws just made number 2 on Newsarama’s Top 10 Worst Nu!DCU comicbook series! Come on! I know if we try hard enough, we can make it to number 1!!!

Number two? Let me guess: Green Arrow made number one?

God, this series has been just such a disappointment for this diehard Jason Todd fan. *siiiigh*

nope. number 1 is “Hawk and Dove”. The link is: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/best-shots-worst-of-new-52-so-far.html

… GA only made #4? And Hawk and Dove-

Just. Just how bad is Hawk and Dove?

LIEFELD!!!!!!!!!!!! Or do you need more informatin because that pretty much sums it up.

There are a lot of characters missing in the DCnU, but they may actually be in a better place when the smoke of this big bang clears when you take a look at the writing in titles like RHATO.

Bruce you’re hoarding sidekicks, again.
