the controversy of to kill a mockingbird ♥

to kill a mockingbird is a great book 8th grade was a good time 

so the majority of us have read to kill a mockingbird and/or watched the movie and its pretty good and i actually understood what was going on in the book for once lol
but then people are like um no "According to James LaRue, director of American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, challenges to the book over the past century have usually cited the book’s strong language, discussion of sexuality and rape, and use of the n-word." like what did yall expect its like 1930?? and these things were indeed happening so stay mad you closed minded rednecks actually no its probably Margaret who thinks knowing about real events that make her uncomfortable make it okay for to limit her children and other kids you bitter bitch  

books ☺

hello everyone i am here

so even though i go to school for writing i havent actually gotten into a book since 6th grade and its currently 10th grade so that's a really bad gap

but i do occasionally get tired of gaming and going on my phone and i have tried to read things 

so the most recent book ive read is looking for alaska by john green and its alright its like his first book about manic pixie dream girls because alaska and margot are literally the most unrealistic females in the history of books like

they're edgy and not like other girls and like old music and smoke cigarettes and are hot and they both leave the protagonist sad

but ill admit paper towns was pretty cool i aspire to live a highschool life as aesthetically pleasing as theirs

my favorite picture book was probably scooby doo or pokemon 

my favorite genre is ummm realistic fiction i guess because i like fiction but i also like it to be somewhere that i can walk into in real life and actually wonder if it'll happen or not

favorite required reading was brighton beach memoirs

i liked anime at one point so pokemon the manga was my life

my favorite book to film adaptation is probably paper towns because lol i watched the movie first and then the book so 

i dont really care if its electronic or paper books like if i have the paper book then great but if im too poor to buy the paper book then the free pdf online will do LMFAOO

anita sarkeesian - feminist frequency on damsels in distress

oh no i didn't want to get political on this blog

so today in class we watched this woman anita sarkeesian and her first episode in her series on the topic of women in video games
and she attempts to shit all over our beloved games like zelda and mario but those are the only ones that she is actually wrong about things
the male gamer and tomboy girl gamer side of the internet dont like her at all because she had no idea what she is talking about but i do agree with some of the things that she says
like her first point is about an unreleased game called dinosaur planet or something featuring krystal from starfox and shes hot but this is also beastiality #stopfurries2017 and her solo game was scrapped in order for some company to add her to starfox as the damsel in distress
before starfox she was this independant animal bad bitch with her staff and she did magic and talked to dinosaurs but then now shes (wait for it) A KRYSTAL INSIDE A CRYSTALLLLLLL HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA because she gets imprisoned in a crystal which removes her from the game for the majority of it except the tutorial
but then anita brings up princess peach
yeah that dumb big titty blond bimbo with her stockholm syndrome and abusive relationship
who she tries to say that peach is disgusting because she's a product of the patriarchy and straight male gamers but in reality not really like i understand the whole man-saves-woman-because-women-aren't-capable-of-saving-themselves trope is a thing but its a trope that is literally so embedded into the western culture that we're so familiar to it
and the thing about it appealing to straight cis males like okay bitch im gay as fuck and i love playing princess peach in smash brothers and mario kart shes the baddest bitch in the mario universe like daisy?? whose that.... birdo is a dyke and toadette is toad with a.....you know what im not gonna drag nintendo like that i love them

in conclusion i feel like she did have really valid points but the only reason no one likes her is because the people who play the games are too emotionally attached to the characters that they can't stand to see them be torn down by this bitch with white makeup sperm eyebrows and bad winged eyeliner

sorry not sorry

☠☠ VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE ☠☠

video games do not cause violence case closed

hello 

• Write about a video game you played that shocked you with its violence, racism/cultural insensitivity, or misogyny. Identify the game and what bothered you about the experience. If you have never played a video game like this, you might write about a music video, song, or T.V. show that fits the bill. 
• Consider why such games or media are made. How do these images or representations affect you personally? How might they affect your family or loved ones? 
• Or is all of this just an excuse for deeper social problems in our society? Why or why not? How?

okay so i dont really play violent games in general because that's not really my taste

like my favorite game genre is maybe rpg or ones that involve story telling??? the only first person shooter that i play is overwatch and that's it i hate call of duty and counter strike but i do like halo because i have good memories playing that game with my family members on sunny cold saturday mornings oh my god im tearing up

but the most violent and graphic game ive seen/played is probably corpse party (nice title right lol) 

it's a visual novel and the art style is anime so it's pretty weird but the actual gameplay is pixels like earthbound or whatever

and SPOILER WARNING!! the game revolves students who are about to leave elementary school or middle school and they are really good friends and after they graduate whatever grade they want to remain friends forever because when you're in school you want to do that of course its exciting and fun and makes a good story for your grandkids but yeah they do some dumb shit like oh i dont know making a paper doll that would either grant them friendship forever or subject them to eternal suffering and torment so yeah they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but yeah it turns out that the paper doll doesn't work and they end up in the haunted school beneath their school and they start dying because all of the monsters and spirits there are wraiths aka angry ghosts and they kill the kids because thats what antagonists do 

but really the game is really gorey with guts and blood and severed heads and intestines and ripping skulls apart like literally they cut some girls tongue out and one of their eyes and one boy's head gets it's top portion ripped off so its just his mouth and throat ughhghghg 

i guess the game is appealing to people who like games about friendship and whatever like really besides all the killing and blood when i watched the final playthrough from this youtuber it was an ending that tied everything up but it was really sad because they had the choice of going back to the real world but if they did then the people who died in the haunted school would forever remain there and every memory that anyone ever had of said deceased person would be gone like they are wiped from existence but the kids who came back to the school were forever scarred and i guess their teacher is there too and she does stuff but a book shelf crushes her so she's benched for a large majority of the game before they rescue her 

this game affects me because ew gore makes me sick 

japanese games aren't really made for political or social reasons like they're all about inspiring people and having friendships and an excuse to draw but lets not sip that tea today :)
