Read the Printed Word!

Lo; also known as Mechanista. Likes fish, robots, necromancy, and long walks on the beach. An ardent and angry feminist, masculist, and humanist, and a self-identified progressive liberal pinko. Reblogs feminist and political things half the time, neat pictures, fanart, and science stuff half the time, and posts her own art, thoughts on art theory, mysticism, and feminism the other half the time.

ALL. OF. THIS. THANK YOU for making this post. you know what i never noticed that!!! oh snap!! did any arabs do the voices because i know that aladdin was voiced by a white dude Y’know, I really don’t see reasoning behind pointing stuff like this out. Why can’t people just sit back and enjoy Disney rather than accuse them of doing shit like this? yeah i mean why bother to accuse racists of racism that’s almost like accusing sexists of sexism or criminals of crimes i mean why would we DO that when we can just ENJOY the erasure and hurt also the sky is green and water is yellow and clouds are made of cotton candy Fuckin’ A+ commentary ^
