[Avatar ID: Art of the convict from Iron Lung inside of the sub. He's looking up at the camo hat on his head, which has white text on it that reads, "I FEAR FISH I FEAR WOMEN I'M JUST SO SCARED." The hat isn't drawn, it's a PNG that's been edited on. He's sweating and looks nervous.]

i change my username sometimes; just whenever i feel like it. below this is a timeline of all my users.
"having a large chest is the beauty standard" no having a large chest is the Sexual standard theres a difference. i can only even be Hot and everything i ever wear will be deemed too sexual for every single situation. tank top shows too much cleavege or side boob a button up is always too busty and a crop top will always show too much skin. having a large chest leads to so much back pain and sexualization and complaining about it makes people go "ahh grass is alwahs greener/you are the beauty standard, why complain?" like genuinely i urge yall to watch anything with a larger chested woman and notice, REALLY notice, that her chest is her entire personality. notice that people critiqing misogynist charavter designs alwayd tend to rally in the statement that large chest=misogny, casting aside the Many Many Many women and people who look like Me and just . have a large chest? and exist? and deserve respect and not to be seen as nothing more than a sex symbol by both sides? idk ikdayy
i cant believe that there's still gamergate STANK on games that women enjoy. NASTY misogyny residue. stardew valley is in fact a video game. animal crossing is also a video game. so are otome games and dating sims and twee little cozy games. sometimes a bitch doesnt wanna play bloodborne that shit's hard
guys who mainly play 2k and fortnite will still be like oh youre not a real gamer for having 1000 hours in stardew. mother fucker you're larping as a basketball player
bruh, sometimes I get self conscious about whether I'm a "real" gamer when I go a week only playing Marvel Rivals, all cause of stupid shit gatekeepers said to me in high school about needing to beat games to be considered a "legit" gamer
Let's settle this once and for all:
Do you enjoy games? Do you enjoy playing them? Do you enjoy watching people play them? Do you like talking about them? Do you follow gaming news? Do you think about playing games?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then
You are a gamer.
I don't care what genre or platform you prefer, I don't care if you beat Dark Souls on your first try or are two years into BG3 and still haven't made it out of Act 1, I don't care if you are a daily marathoning player or sneaking 10 minutes between chores every couple days and supplementing with Let's Plays on in the background while working. If you engage with this art/entertainment form in someway, then you are valid.
Anyone wasting time gatekeeping isn't worth the attention
I met a girl who did a very good half of exam but didn't actually know the answer, so she wrote a full page (two sides), left half a sentence at the end of the page and wrote "Page 1 of 2" and submitted that. Because the teacher assumed it was her fault and that she had lost half of the exam, she gave her a passing grade hoping she wouldn't complain. And she didn't, of course.
In college, I forgot I had a paper (that I hadn't written a word of) due, until the teacher asked us to pass them forward at the start of the class... I had my computer though, and so I said I had forgotten the printed copy at home, could I please run to the computer lab after class and print it and bring it right over? He said sure, he could wait a few minutes since it was just downstairs. I don't have to look at my hands to type, so I wrote it in class while staring at the board like I was taking notes, and printed it off after. Got a B on it.
I bring a “you can love multiple people in both unique and similar ways with the same amount of intensity and it doesn’t diminish your feelings for each of them individually, because love is not a finite resource” to the function that a lot of people aren’t down with.
WAIT HOLD ON I cannot fucking believe when I was like four years old my parents were cajoling me to walk with the family and trying to get me to keep up even though I kept insisting that I was "tired" until they took me to a doctor and found out my LUNGS DIDN'T WORK. how insane that we live in a world where reasonably loving parents think their FOUR YEAR OLD is trying to be LAZY. like they were mortified to be clear. adults are just so trained to ignore children's complaints as untrustworthy, kids just need discipline, they can't possibly speak for themselves. what the fuuuuck.
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE BTW you should always be trying to take children seriously, especially very little ones but definitely all of them. the most disempowered class basically legally defined as property and most people are like "yeah that's good actually I hate when they Loiter lol they're stupid and loud and i actually think children should stop existing. restrict their personhood more actually"
this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
I see so many people saying shit like "the way fandoms behave makes me really nervous to write the story I want to write, what if my fandom sucks" and I just want to sit down with all of them and be like it's ok, you don't have to worry, you're not going to be famous
