When you realize DanAndPhilGames could be shut down because of the upcoming European copyright laws
Oh shit
I feel like no one realises how bad this actually is. To make it clear for y'all if this law passes, it’s going to be 1000x worse than net neutrality. This is a literal internet censorship.
Want to post a cute fanart? BLOCKED. A fanfic? BLOCKED. Do you have a friend in europe and want to send them a meme? BLOCKED. Youtube let’s plays? BLOCKED Dan’s meme videos? BLOCKED.
Nearly not enough people are talking about this so please, even if you’re not european, help us and take part. We did the same when net neutrality was trying to ruin all of our lives. I’ll put some useful links below.
- !anyone can sign!
x <- fixed link for call/email your local mps
- !you can only do this if you live in europe/uk!
Take part, lads🌸✨
Right so to add to this. My friend has already been affected by this shit today . Her gmail profile pic which was eevee (pokemon) has been removed apparently due to eu copyright laws. It was a fucking profile pic. @eu fuck u
also Philip DeFranco made a p good video about this topic. I’ll link it which according to the new laws will also be illegal.
🇺🇸 Another addition for y'all americans: Just so you know there’s quite a big chance a certain cheeto could get inspired by the shit eu is going to pass rn and then we’re all screwed.
🇬🇧 UK lads: UK is going to be affected by this until the day they officially leave the EU and that is in 2021. Contact your local MPs link is above.
🇪🇺 europeans: Are basically all going to be fucked if we don’t do something! Contact your local MPs link is above.
🌏Rest of the world is hopefully sane but still…. please try to help even if this isn’t going to affect you directly.
Any help is appreciated but please try to spread the message as well as signing the petition. Thank u all

if your focus is on having more women in computer science, you’ll find yourself surprised in 20 years when programmers have the salary, working conditions, and prestige of secretaries. the whole prestige of comp sci is that it has few women.
we’re seeing this process also in hospitals: as there are more and more men who are becoming nurses, the salaries and powers of nurses are increasing; medicine itself is being associated with women, and so people are now questioning their high salaries. same thing happened with lawyers and computer scientists and school teachers and so on.
oh no this post has gotten around to terf tumblr, too bad op’s a trans woman, fuckers

maybe I’m just a crusty ass frozen heart but from a young age I felt that a lot of the ‘magic’ in romance and love as served by mainstream straight culture was like a big smokescreen. It’s cynical but I believe far fewer people would feel some kind of big enchantment or drive to experience ‘love’ as they expect it, if women weren’t constantly negged by society and basically made desperate for any unconditional positive experience. Likewise, if men in our society were allowed to find alternative forms of intimacy such that finding a gf wasn’t the only socially acceptable outlet, I feel the magic would fade a little bit. Because we gotta believe in magic when we are made to feel horrible a lot of the time.
Which is not to say passion and feeling the magic are bad. But when that magic is used as the tool to keep otherwise untenable straight couples together, I don’t see how overemphasizing it in relationships, or using it as the yardstick of what legitimizes a relationship, is in any way safe.
Within a lgbt+ community I have seen all forms of love and straight people find elements of a more cerebral love almost as threatening as the genders involved in same-sex relationships. Hell, they see something is ‘off’ between two bisexual people who superficially appear in a different gender relationship. The very idea that your love could be total and reasoned rather than purely passionate, that “it makes sense for me to be with this person,” that “I didn’t need to, but I chose to, and I can choose to leave,” threatens them. Even if passion is vital to most people, the appropriated ‘born this way’ narrative that hits the mainstream depends on lgbt+ love not being a choice that makes sense– even more sense– than participation in straightness.
The norm deeply fears that. They want passion to be the only narrative to explain why people they don’t understand are together. It leaves them in the position of reason and enfranchisement, and it leaves lgbt+ people as somehow swept up in urges. Progressive people might say it’s a beautiful urge. But the truth is that we’re comprehensible and that scares them.
The thing is if all you have is passion you will burn out of it so quick
I have passion in my relationship with my husband but not like all the time
We were friends first and that’s the foundation of our relationship: companionship. Comfort and support and just liking the other person comes first
The passion flares up unexpectedly from time to time and it’s lovely but it’s also intense and exhausting and doesn’t lend itself to taking care of your partner or to disagreements ending amicably or to communication in general
Passion is for a moment
Companionship is forever

Young girls really are pressured now more than ever to be seen as beautiful and sexy and perfect like IG models and whatever the fuck…..like that’s why you see “me at 14 vs 14 year old girls today” posts……….we didn’t have this constant stream of content like they do…..content telling us to be perfect and to have perfect clothes and sharp eyeliner wings that look photoshopped and shit like that….I mean it’s always been there but not like this…and while I think girls should be able to dress however they want and do whatever they want…..you have to take into consideration the fact that this all stems from a toxic culture where women have to be perfect and beautiful…now at younger and younger ages….and it’s really gross…and the media continues to sexualize and like…make young girls seem older and more appealing than they actually are idk the whole thing makes me so uncomfortable and it’s only going to get worse :/
And the wildest thing is, people will still try and justify it with the “there’s always been girls that dress older than they are!” argument. Which is true. But it was never the norm. Pre social media, most young girls were allowed be young girls. Here’s Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Lindsay Lohan at 14/15 in 2001-2007. They were arguably the biggest young stars of the time but this is how they presented
They aren’t being styled to look leagues older than they are. They’re allowed to just be their own age and look their own age. Now, here’s Millie Bobbie Brown at 13 in 2018, Veronika Bonell at 15/16 in 2017, Skai Jackson at 13 in 2015, and Caitlin Carmichael at 13 in 2017.
There is a deep problem in our society that this is what people are styling children to look like. They don’t look like children, they look like young adults. They could wear these exact same looks in 10 years and they wouldn’t be questioned because they’re dressed and made up to present as adults. This is what is presented as normal for young girls, this is the image they’re told is the “right” one, the one they should aspire to.
There’s nothing wrong with girls - or boys - wanting to be pretty. But there is a problem with young girls being constantly told that pretty for them means looking over 21 at 13.
