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.

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

[pekkhum]

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

as an adult, some adults really aren’t mature enough to separate fiction from reality or understand the basic concepts of fiction not necessarily reflecting someone’s real life moral compass and it’s embarrassing. how are you a grown adult and still acting like a mean girl who bullies real people for the sake of fictional characters and feelings morally superior

The what now

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

i keep thinking about this comment and I just wonder why you keep thinking of something you don't enjoy while reading something you do enjoy (general you ofc) how does one not get sucked in by the story so much they forget they were even reading in the first place, it's just a little odd to me, that's all, what do you think?

seems like a miserable way to live a life lmao. I mean I know we’re only talking about fanfics on ao3, but if this person has to deliberately make themself miserable by thinking about the fact that the things they dislike exist, I can’t help but wonder if this is also how they live their daily life: just being miserable because, in real life, somewhere out there, there are things that they hate too. the unfortunate truth is that the things that you (general you) hate will always exist. the things I hate exist. not just when it comes to fanfics but anything in general. the world does not revolve around you or your personal preferences. so you can either choose to ignore things you cannot change or control and focus your time and energy on something you enjoy, or you can make yourself miserable by focusing your time and energy on the fact that people like the things you hate, the things you hate exist, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

as for this specific person, if they’re this miserable about fanfics and ao3 only then I guess it sucks for them, but if this is also how they live their life and how they react to other things in real life that they hate, then I genuinely hope they seek help, because they need it.

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

[sparrowlucero]

its kind of distressing how you can tell a lot of people see popular indie artists and writers and such as like "a Celebrity but one which i stand a half decent chance of bullying to death"

calling ppl "larpers" to insinuate theyre fake fans of smth/poorly pretending to be smth is so fucking stupid cuz. tell me u have never met a real LARPer without saying u have never met a real LARPer. those guys care. they are fucking locked in dude. like LARP is a lifestyle its a commitment they care so much. they're not fake nerds either like fake nerds just repost LOTR gifsets and talk about how nerdy they are for being into like, fucking batman and stuff. LARPers know their shit. they read the whole Silmarillion. they know who Ambush Bug is. like get LARP's name out of your fucking mouth

[strawbxx-blog]

I have so much hate in my heart for people who go up on pinterest, find fanart of ships they dont like and go out of their way to comment "eww no" or "delete ts" or something very mean to the artist IM GOING TO GOUGE YOUR EYEBALLS OUT AND STUFF THEM UP YOUR ENTITLED ASS

it should be illegal for nonperverts to watch secretary 2002

I am wondering... If we have different levels of tolerance for different kinds of media when it comes to all these discussions around dark fiction.

Would the same standards we apply to fanfiction be applied to published books? What about animation? What about movies? Series and tv shows?

Because I feel like fanfiction holds a specific place in this genre, where people write and read what they like and go searching for the same... It is kind of bound within the fandom space and fictional world, and most level headed people would never try to connect it to reality. As I see it, fanfiction is the most contained of media for the freakiest of thoughts.

But I kinda wonder if it escapes that containment the farther you go. Books and movies have been critical to both shaping society and reflecting it... which is why we fight so hard for queer representation in the media in the first place... because somewhere along that scale things have more impact on the real world than simply being "fiction".

Idk if I'm making any sense btw. Just have a lot of thoughts about the perception of taboo and dark topics in fiction. What are your thoughts? Do you think the same rules of "don't like don't read" "thought crimes are not real" also apply to other forms of media? Would a movie involving a questionable age gap/underage sex etc. weigh equally to a fic in terms of morality?

personally I don’t care if it’s fanfics or published books or movies. fiction is fiction. period. I don’t care how taboo or graphic or messes up or morally wrong a movie or a book is, if it’s fiction then it’s just harmless fantasy.

it’s the audiences’ job to separate fiction from reality, it’s parents’ job to teach their kids that bad things can be glorified and/or romanticized in fiction because it’s fiction.

Magnus Hirschfeld — Making Queer History

Content warning for Nazis, Holocaust, eugenics It only makes sense to follow the story of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft with the sto

Magnus Hirschfeld was a gay Jewish man born in Germany in 1868. As one of the founders of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, he lived and worked through the rise of Adolf Hitler. A fierce advocate for queer rights and reproductive rights, he is well-remembered in queer history as one of the pillars of the queer community. Using science and knowledge as weapons, he fought for a better world, and, in many ways, shaped the queer community’s current reality.

i know things are hella grim in the nsfw/kink art circles especially in the last year --

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

there are friends and allies out there helping to build a working parallel infrastructure. keep being vocal, keep supporting these initiatives when it's possible, and keep supporting your nsfw/kink artists. ♥

since opening that last can of worms went so well (/sarc), i'm opening another; you're not truly profic/proship if you're against people making fan-content of media with shitty creators.

"profiction" fundamentally means that you're for fiction existing without censorship, that creators have the right to create whatever fiction they please, no matter how taboo. all fiction has this right to exist. yes, even fiction with shitty creators. you can absolutely be against supporting those creators, but as soon as you try and tell people what fan-content is and isn't okay to create, what fandoms they are and aren't allowed to be in, what fiction is moral and immoral to enjoy — as soon as you try and police other people's creativity and fun, you lose the right to call yourself profic/proship.

fandom isn't activism, even if someone's in a fandom you hate.
