PLEASE DO NOT GET A “DORY” FISH

unintentionaldickkick

The fish from the new Finding Dory movie, the blue tang, is in danger.

With the new movie coming out, everyone and their kid is going to want a blue tang. Clown fish sales SKYROCKETED in 2003, when the original movie Finding Nemo was released. Unlike the blue tang, clownfish can be bred in tanks, are a more easy saltwater fish to care for, only needing 4 gallons per clownfish, and an anemone.

The blue tang CANNOT BE TANK BRED. They are captured live from the ocean, which can be damaging to the coral reefs.

The blue tang gets HUGE, and eventually you’ll need a tank the size of your couch to accommodate it.

The blue tang gets SICK. VERY EASY.

Do NOT get a blue tang, SERIOUSLY. If you are well equipped, an experienced saltwater fish owner, I mean go for it, but don’t get them as your child’s pet. They will be bored of it in a week anyway, and the fish will probably die. There’s tons of Finding Dory merchandise (shirts, bags, stuffed animals, seriously they have everything) to buy yourself or your child.

PLEASE SAVE THE BLUE TANG.

I’ve had both the clownfish and the blue tang growing up (my father raises coral and tropical fish professionally) and this is completely true. DO NOT DO THE THING

I’m not saying it’s fair, or even possible to try to care about every person or demographic. All I’m begging for is that we at least try not to be so hateful.

I think this is exactly what those people trying to argue against me need to see.

I love this.
I love this so much. I cannot even emphasize how much I love this.

This is the first situation I’ve seen with one of these amazing comics in which the artist did not delete their tumblr because of all the hate that’s been sent to them. Those kinds of situations in which someone would make a point against tumblr delete because of all the hate and it makes me sad. But this post gives me hope.

I’m too stubborn to delete at this point

Because I feel like if I were to delete, I would only be encouraging the actions of the people who have sent me messages about how I was the reason the world was horrible, that I should kill myself to make up for it, that I don’t deserve friends or happiness, that they will hunt me down and kill me slowly (and I’ve gotten many creative things people would like to do to me in my inbox. Props for vivid imagination I suppose).

Were I to delete, these people who have been cruel to me would see so, and feel that they’ve won. That their bullying was effectual.

Which, on a personal level, I don’t want them to feel as though they’ve ‘beaten’ me (they haven’t). But on a bigger level, I don’t want them to feel like they can actually have an effective voice that way. If they see that they can bully me into deletion, it would only encourage them into bullying more people into deletion - after all, it would work, right?

But I won’t deny that I’ve been hurt badly from this.

All of these things these people are saying to me - I’ve heard it all before. I heard it back home when my priest forced me to eat bread that triggers an awful disease in my stomach, when my own friends talked about how people like me were ‘scary’ and ‘need to go to hell’ because I ‘was the reason hell existed.’ I heard it when my doctor wouldn’t give me the medicine I needed because I was just sick ‘because it was a punishment for being atheist’ and when my mom agreed with him. I heard it when my classmates talked about disgusting fags, tormented those who were ‘gender confused.’

They were all the same words. ‘Kill yourself, go to hell, you don’t deserve friends or happiness, monster, scum.’

I’ve been in therapy for 6 years after the aftermath of what my hometown put me through. I have diagnosed trauma from emotional abuse from it. Getting it again now, just after I had finally started to piece myself together, destroyed me. Because of this, my depression has been at an all time low, lower that it has ever been in the 10 years I’ve struggled with it. So low that my doctor was honestly surprised I hadn’t offed myself yet because I ranked off the scale for depression.

But I feel like I have to stand against it this time. It’s hurting me. Hurting other people. And I don’t want anyone, no one in the entire world, to have to go through what I did. No one deserves that.

I won’t delete because I don’t believe what I said was wrong. I don’t believe anyone should feel the hurt that comes from hateful words.

I won’t delete because I don’t want to let them turn into the exact same form of cruel people that comprised my small, conservative hometown.
