i will personally never understand that thing people do when theyre like "i thought this was a good piece of art until i realised its fetish/pornographic" like why does art lose value if the artist was a little horny when they made it. why is that so scary. im sure a lot of the old masters were doing portraits of their lovers slightly bricked up & theyre still displayed in museums. why is sexual arousal not an acceptable source of inspiration when like every other emotion is. well i mean i know why sadly but i do not like it so i'll continue to complain about it

I must say it. some of those renaissance painters were pretty horny about Jesus.

It’s cause thanks to a combination of sex negativity and sexism, “this feels like fetish content” is considered more legitimate criticism than “this writer treats women as objects”.

this is my suggestion

stfueveryone

Fascists are cowards who depend on the power of rules to defend themselves while they attempt to terrorize others.

glitchyvoxel

The "rule of law" is a lie and a cruel joke and always has been. The law cannot rule, it is just a tool. The results of its use follow the character of its wielders.

isuggestanarchism

I have something to suggest

apollosfallen

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

apollosfallen

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).

"Let's have sex," the one character said.

"Why?" said the other. "I don't see how that adds to our story or characterization in any way."

"We have a lot of subtly implied ideas and themes going on," the first one explained, "but we haven't explicitly signalled that we are in a story for mature audiences. The sooner we get it out of the way, the better."

#a good ‘fuck’ does the job too.#pun intended

If I were writing a sci fi story about a species where half are diurnal and half are nocturnal, I’d probably do some worldbuilding on how their society would work around a wide spectrum of schedules. Except humans are mostly like that already, and the solution we’ve taken is to drug the nocturnal ones and pretend they don’t exist.

#worldbuilding #just a bit of food for thought for your speculative worldbuilding #don’t be afraid to go in weird and illogical directions #cause that’s where people go

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

paradigm-adrift

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

in my opinion, the question isn't "Is RPF ethical?" but rather "Are you engaging with RPF ethically?" and even more importantly, "Are you being stupid about it?"

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

But just have some basic decency and do not involve the real people. Don't cross the line without caring how it affects them. This is basic fandom 101 and lately we have been flying too close to the damn sun! Everyone get more normal about RPF so major news outlets and magazines stop posting articles about "Is RPF ethical?" and blowing up our spot!
