I Just Think That The Double Standard With How Everyone (and I'm Not Just Talking Ab The West Btw) Has
i just think that the double standard with how everyone (and i'm not just talking ab the west btw) has treated the ukraine invasion vs issues literally anywhere else. and no i'm not just talking about the straight up racist journalists (although that was also . whew ! shocked but not surprised) but rather how it seems that this time around, everyone seems to understand that you can't 'separate business / art from politics'. remember when a muslim soccer player spoke up against the atrocities that the chinese government perpetuates against the uyghur muslims and then arsenal terminated his contract because they are 'apolitical as an organization'? and yet manchester united players standing up for ukraine have been applauded for it. remember when iceland held up the palestine flag during eurovision as a show of solidarity and they were fined 5000 euros for it? and yet russia is banned from this year's contest.
and i know white people are going to misunderstand this on purpose, so i'm just stating this upfront: i completely support ukraine, and i think it's important that russia is shown, on a world platform, that they cannot get away with the invasion of a sovereign state. but the fact that suddenly, mixing politics with sport, business and art has become the new normal and socially acceptable because it's europe and the west and not filthy violent brown people is just too ironic for me to not point out. and btw if anyone starts talking about the 'oppression olympics' or wtv to discredit the very real differences between the treatment of white & brown people on a global level and the dehumanization of asians i will smash your head into a brick wall.

Ladybug was living her best life, winning against all the odds and having Adrien on her team doing everything perfectly and introducing him to her bestie Chat Noir and she went from heaven to hell so quick Iām surprised she even recovered from that mealtdown.
something something about how ladybug may be paris' hero but chat noir is constantly ladybug's hero

The way this one hug is reminiscent of so many of the moments they shared together
