One of my ancient posts has gone through the AI Recyclers that turn them into New Posts for Facebook screenshots so I keep getting jumpscared by words that are very almost mine attributed to other people's faces. I feel like I have a doppleganger in a horror movie who keeps showing up in places I go in order to freak me out.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This post is not mine, but this is the kind of shit I'm talking about. "Elaborate on your gender identity to him thoroughly". They just make it a little bit... off. You stare into the mirror and realise that your reflection's eye colour is not your eye colour. This isn't how it was. Something is wrong here, and Rowanchen895 is NOT your friend.

Disney is doing crazy things in the japanese mobile game sphere rn

[mochlus]

you may be familiar with disney twisted wonderland, the gacha game in which various disney villains are used as direct inspiration for handsome anime boys. well that game was so successful that disney is trying to do it again but this time they're just animeboyifying whatever

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

Yeah it's her. they made an anime boy version of the mean receptionist slug. her name is roz btw, as all of boygachagame twitter has become extremely aware of in the past 3 days as we speculated prior to the release of the full image who tf the third guy was. the anime boy's name is "noah slugger". at this point no parody of the types of things gacha games will make gijinkas of will ever be able to live up to what disney is officially spending their own real money on designing

there's this weird thing people fall into online a lot, where people assume that if the [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged then people will, naturally, do [perceived-to-be-superior] version of [activity] instead. When really it's just as (or more) likely that if [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged people just won't do it at all.

audiobook listeners are not necessarily people who would otherwise do a lot of traditional reading if audiobooks did not exist, many are people who simply would experience zero books. Booktok romance readers would not necessarily be reading the classics if booktok did not exist, many of them would simply not read. Fanfiction writers would not necessarily be novelists if fanfic wasn't an option, many would just be people who didn't write. You know?

A three-circle venn-diagram where the circles are "sex workers", "the furry community", and "people working in morgues". I don't know what the overlap parts are.

Fourth circle needed: IT workers

[homunculus-argument]

You say that with such confidence that I am compelled to trust your vision. Personally I have no idea where this is going.

[trytocallmecal]

i'd say the overlap between "sex workers" and "people who work in morgues" is probably "seeing naked strangers a lot"

[homunculus-argument]

"professional handling of bodies of strangers"?

[approaching-the-scrungularity]

Putting my neck out for you folks here

[basil-lemonade]

image description: a four-circle venn diagram. the four main circles are "it professionals", "furries", "sex workers", and "morgue workers", with the following overlaps:

it professionals + furries: computers fear them

it professionals + furries + sex workers: good chance of being trans

it professionals + morgue workers: prefers when clients don't talk to them

it professionals + morgue workers + furries: prefer non-human company

it professionals + morgue workers + sex workers: nobody could handle this job

furries + sex workers: fetishized

furries + sex workers + morgue workers: putting bodies in ill-fitting containers

sex workers + morgue workers: paid to handle naked strangers

all four: social ostracism

begging people trying to call out abusers in their community to stop delegitimizing their story by dedicating entire chapters in their documentation to shit like "draws feral porn" or "kins a hazbin"

[shithowdy]

every word in your document could be 100% true but if your examples meant to highlight their behavior include anything that isn't directly relevant to how they have actually hurt or expressed a desire to hurt people and is instead just there to serve as additional gawking material to paint them as a gross degenerate like some kind of kiwifarms thread then i'm going to assume you're also a dangerous person who just happened to be victimized because you serve as the common denominator for the nasty company you keep and block the shit out of every single person involved. love and light.

[mephistopheles]

"bottom" please consider 🫵 whether the word you are looking for is in fact "submissive" ! because if we decide that taking dick means your personality & character r inherently subservient 😃 we might as well just throw in the towel on the most basic premise of feminism & 🔫 kill ourselves 🎉

[cosmogyros]

[luckyladylily]

I appreciate what we are trying to do here, but bottom and top originated in 1940s gay leather culture and (to this day in actual irl fetish and kink communities) can be used to mean submissive and dominant respectively. Like I get wanting to decouple the meanings, and the ideas have evolved with time, but bottom and top have been used interchangeably with submissive and dominant for 80 years. You can "bottom" or "top" and not have it imply submissive or dominant, but using bottom or top to mean submissive or dominant is a correct usage of the term and literally always has been. Context is used to determine if a power exchange situation is going on and this has worked for literally as long as the term have existed because, and I mean this as gently as possible, you can just be normal about sex.

This is important because if you keep using these terms eventually you are going to run up against someone who knows their actual origins and actual meanings and they will use them correctly and you are going to have to be normal about people using the actual meanings of words and not accuse a middle age trans woman of being anti feminist because she knows what words mean and isn't plugged into internet discourse among people who have never been to an orgy in their life.

Again, I understand what we are trying to do here, and I agree with the idea, but we are going to run up against the practical problem that this is incorrect on a literal level and you will need to make allowances for that.

[luckyladylily]

Ok, I get why you are saying this, but you are wrong. Specifically because these terms are not historial, they are practical. As in they are terms to describe the sex people are actually having in practical ways.

Lets start with a fact: Topping does not mean penetrating, bottoming does not mean penetrated. I know you have seen this a thousand times, but it is dead wrong. That is not what these words mean. The reason why you have been told wrong is because topping and bottoming are complex ideas that are not easily defined. There are a lot of conditional intricacies to how they are used that are very intuitive when you are actually having and experimenting with sex a lot, but are hard to define in a simple, easy way.

So why is it so often said that top = penetrating and bottom = penetrated? Well, clinical sources rarely want to write a 4 paragraph explanation of what a term means, so they give a technically correct partial definition.

I want you to imagine two men having penetrative anal sex while laying in a bed (in an abstract sense, if that makes you more comfortable). One of them is going to be penetrating, the other is going to be penetrated. The fact of the matter is that your body is not designed to easily bounce your ass on a dick. Your body is just not set up properly to move easily like that. So mechanically speaking it is much easier for the person penetrating to move, and it is much easier for the person penetrating to be physically on top of the other person. This is why "penetrating" is often conflated with "topping". But that is not what topping actually means.

In the above example, you will notice that one of the men, specifically the one physically on top of the other, is going to be the one moving more and therefore controlling the scene in a physical sense. Because the person on top can move easily, while the person on bottom is pinned down and can't move nearly as well.

With that in mind, top vs bottom is a matter of a sexual situation in which there is unequal control. The partner who acts is topping and the partner who is acted upon is bottoming.

This is why bottom and top are used so often in situations where no penetrative sex is happening. Or even in some cases, the top is the one being penetrated. For example, a rope bottom is called that because the person being tied up *can't move*, and therefore is being acted on more than acting, and is therefore the bottom. A woman riding a man cowgirl style is topping because she is the one acting and the man is being acted on regardless of what kind of penetration is happening.

This is why you can say "top" instead of "dominant" - because the dominant is controlling the scene and is therefore topping. The dominant acts on the submissive no matter what physical position they are in due to the power exchange at play. That is basically the literal definition of dominant vs submissive in the most general terms. Dominating is not the same thing as topping, because it is the subset of topping in which power exchange is occurring. Therefore in any situation in which power exchange is implied or assumed, top and dominant are interchangeable. As are bottom and submissive.

Which brings us back to what I originally said, someday you are going to hear people use these practical terms to describe the practical sex they are actually having and you are going to have to not be weird about it if you don't want to be assumed to be a regressive weirdo who desperately wants to be a cop about the kind of sex people have.
