@HaileyFlemx does that make the book irish? it was entirely conceived of in england, drafted in london, by a man born in the same country as britain now is. are rudyard kiplings books indian? roald dahls norwegian?

The author being Irish due to the “technicality” of being born and raised in Ireland
eva@_glorianas
@witchesflight there's just SO many to choose from, dracula is only on the technicality that stoker was born in dublin
English
@GaryJMatthews @FionaSmall not really, it was just some medical academic who wrote an article on it a while back and all the irish tabloids jumped on it. that interpretation is like “is iago gay” but that’s actually compelling analysis
English
@FionaSmall Also a lot of the themes in Dracula were inspired by his parents experience of the cholera epidemic in Sligo
English
It’s not a technicality when he was born, raised and lived in Ireland until his 30s

@FionaSmall @Tolstoy1999 @Tom07469213 so he couldn’t have even conceived of himself as a citizen of ireland

@relightgoddess @dookey114 that would be under theft laws or breach of copyright not csam legislation

They're coming for your yaoi, yuri, femboys, futa, soon enough if it isn't irl missionary between 2 adults (whether related or not for some reason bc they refuse to draw a line there) that are only 5 seconds max from being the same age only calling each other by full government names in their bed at night and not making any other noises and only doing it to have a baby
It will be taboo, and they will find all kinds of reasons take away all forms of privacy

EL CASO EMPEORA La policía del Reino Unido no solo arrestó a la VTuber Mimi Yanagi, también ALLANÓ su casa para confiscarle sus dakimakuras, figuras de anime y doujins. Amigos de la artista revelaron que las autoridades le vaciaron la habitación llevándose "absolutamente todo" su botín otaku como evidencia criminal, e incluso le quitaron su Discord. (Curiosamente, le dejaron sus cuentas de videojuegos).

@WeegieBored1 @PMc276 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting the reason scotland is part of the union is because the scots were so good at raping and pillaging their way around the globe england wanted in on the money
English
@PMc276 @Sarahjdublin @hvsperus @bornposting They raped and pillaged their way around the globe and complained when their actions had consequences.I hope Scotland is the 66th country to declare its independence

People sincerely arguing that Stoker doesn’t count as an Irish writer bc Ireland was under British rule at the time. Very cool to say we can’t claim one of our most famous writers because Ireland was colonised by the British at the time!
English
@curiosweetie @Blackdrug_ Just hang a few rapists and live stream it ,rape cases in India will reduce to almost zero. For example, bulldozing houses of criminals reduces crime in a state like up
English
Thats why rapes are rare in China. The courts dont say "every sinner has future". Life imprisonment for juvenile. If he was adult, would have been executed publically. Also justice within few months. Adult cases get justice in weeks in majority of the cases.

@AlchemicNebula @shyguys_vault @ChibiReviews i presume you see the overrepresentation of black men in uk prisons as an indictment upon their community, but these random convictions i’ve found are an indictment upon the police system?? okay that makes sense

BREAKING NEWS:
Mimi the VTuber that got arrested for artwork in the UK had her bail bond revealed by her Friend
From the details and comments provided by said friend. It seems she was arrested for her art commissions and the artwork is being treated like a real kid by the UK Government according to page 4.
If this is indeed Mimi's Bail Bond. The UK is actually thinking drawings are living breathing humans
I would also remind everyone that the UK is actively allowing rape gangs to roam free in their country.
English
@waifujutsu the uk is 7% muslim. you are defending images of children being raped by dogs.
English
This would be feasible if the UK hadn't already gotten overrun by a culture that sees killing someone over a drawing of a religious figure as justified.
If you're serious about censorship, you need to leave Europe.
Sharkaila 🍋🦈@sharkaila
As a note on the Mimi Yanagi stuff if you think loli/shota nsfw content should NOT be illegal in the UK you can lobby for it. Write to your local MP. Organise a protest. Explain why you want access to that material. In detail. To the press if need be, not on your anon twitter. :)

@ribbonpoet same sex relationships aren’t classified as porn in the uk unless they’re doing actual sex. the same way hetero relationships aren’t classed as porn unless they’re doing actual sex
English
the thing is it's not truly about the porn, or even the subject of it. if that was the case, ai deepfakes would be illegal. this is about censorship. it starts with the porn because it sounds silly to defend it but you know what else they classify as porn? same-sex relationships.
Chibi Reviews@ChibiReviews
IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS: Artists are now getting arrested by UK Police. Mimi was arrested by UK Police for possession of her artwork, her artwork alone. According to bail conditions. She now is forced to only make SFW artwork or she will violate her bail.

@AlchemicNebula @shyguys_vault @ChibiReviews this guy was sentenced to jail last week for rape bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… this guy for murder nottinghamshire.police.uk/news/nottingha…
English
@hvsperus @shyguys_vault @ChibiReviews The UK does though.
They do not jail rapists and murderers.
They jail native-born British citizens for speaking up, defending themselves, and fictional content, while immigrants have been consistently coming in, raping and killing and being allowed to get away with it.

They are arresting BL artists in China, games with horror and gay/trans themes are being banned, books pulled from shelves, fr it isn’t about what makes YOU feel yucky. Soon they will come for you and the things you love cause you decided to slide into right wing conservatism 🙃
Arc🌿🔞@Arcaydle
Who decides? The law? What about in countries where being gay is illegal? You dont have to like it- you dont have to wngage with the content, but to have no censorship/freedom you have to learn to exist with things that you find uncomfortable

@ThomasAmnesiac @WeegieBored1 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting nope, the english literature gcse curriculum only permits texts written in english in england to be taught to students. no translations, nothing

@hvsperus @WeegieBored1 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting I studied Dracula for English Literature. It's part of the English Literature curriculum because.... it's written in English.

@PMc276 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting good for you guys 👍 not really relevant to dracula being an irish or british book though

We Were Irish
Always

Most common response to this is 'Per Capita...'
What do they think it means when the White offending percentage is higher than the White population percentage.
Hmm...
BladeoftheSun@BladeoftheS
I will repeat this fact again. 83% of people in the UK are White. 87% of sex offenders are White. If you understand, you understand.
English
@ThomasAmnesiac @WeegieBored1 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting the british literature curriculum would disagree with you
English
@hvsperus @WeegieBored1 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting Absolutely no one has considered Stoker to be British. Ever.
English
@Sarahjdublin @PMc276 @bornposting idk if you know much irish history, but i don’t think you’re going to like finding out his nationality
English
@hvsperus @PMc276 @bornposting Lol do you think where a book is written determines the nationality of the author?
Are you thick?
English
@WeegieBored1 @Sarahjdublin @bornposting he literally called himself british. idk why you're bothering to claim dracula as irish, don't you have your own books to promote?

@Sarahjdublin @hvsperus @bornposting Brits claiming something that isn't theirs?Who'd have seen that coming?
