Parks and Recreations’ Aziz Ansari shuts down a microaggression on the Golden Globes’ red carpet.

(H/t yayponies)

jesus, this is ugly.

i’m so impressed by Ansari.

I’m not. Yes, snaps for this one Aziz, but overall I can’t (and wish I could because I think overall he’s a good-hearted and funny guy) support him. His stand up is on Netflix and I watched it the other day and was so unbelievably turned off by it. *trigger warning* there is not just one rape joke/reference at the beginning, but then an extended rape joke in the latter half. I was going to disregard the first mention, giving him benefit of the doubt, but he clearly does not pay any attention to the fact that rape jokes are wildly crass and inappropriate. It further pains me that while he had a little conquest on the red carpet here, it was only to defend his personal issues—race-related comments. I find it disheartening that he is willing to refute race-related comments yet since (to my apparent knowledge) rape has not affected him personally, it’s okay to minimalize and humorize it.

do you ever step back & reevaluate your life

& all the harmful shit you internalized

like concepts of virginity, beauty, healthy relationships, sexual attraction, mental health, & what “being successful” actually entails?

& you realized how much healthier you’d be right now if someone actually fuckin’ talked to you about this toxic shit instead of throwing you into a perpetual pit of self-loathing that you have to claw your way out of?

just…fuck, man

[tw : rape, rape culture] Coercive sex can have many faces. It can come from a seemingly positive place, like when someone says, “I really think you should have sex with me because I love you.” It can also come from an obviously negative place through instances of blackmail. Neither is okay. We need to teach youth that it isn’t okay to pressure others into sex and that it is okay to say “no” to sex even if it hurts someone’s feelings.
