stuff I like @catrandadora - Tumblr Blog

Being scared is an understatement. I am terrified. Terrified for myself, for my people, for the HK protests. They will come after all of us, starting from the top figures in politics.

We need people to be aware. We need people to remember us, remember the protests, the movement. We need people to care.

Don’t forget Hong Kong.

Don’t forget the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Don’t forget Tibet.

Don’t forget East Turkestan.

Don’t Forget Mongolia.

Acephobia fucking exists part 3

allaboutthediskhorse

I find it interesting how a lot of these comments in this part are literally advocating for conversion therapy of asexuals, see us as people that can be ‘fixed’ with the right amount of ‘therapy’ and the ‘correct psychologist’. Straight people don’t think we’re straight, or normal. Honestly a lot of them hate us.

This is something I talked about earlier, how there are plenty of types of aphobia, and this type is the one we tend to face on a regular basis. Literal sexual harassment and conversion therapy.

But sure, aphobia isn’t real alright.

Jesus this is scary

It’s funny that they want to paint us as an ‘abnormal’ tiny little minority. Asexuals are estimated to make up 1% of the worlds population. To put that into perspective the entire population of Australia is estimated at 0.33% of the worlds population. So the amount of people you’re discarding is the same as the entire population of Australia three times over. But sure we’re tiny, abnormal and irrelevant.

so, everyone who wants to throw aro and ace people out of the LGBTQIA community: please take a moment to notice how the intolerance here doesn’t just look the same as intolerance against other marginalized sexualities and gender identities, it doesn’t just use the same words and tone and tactics, it’s explicitly linked by several of these people. they’re saying they think asexual people are “sick” in the same way trans people are. maybe think about that before you go on another “you’re not oppressed like we are and don’t belong here” tirade.

WHO DOESN’T

gringoslur

@spanish speakers te amo feels weird to say??????

gringoslur

TE AMO! IS TOO! INTIMATE!! maybe if you say it quickly and in a jokey way its ok but in a serious talk??? it feels too much!!!!!!!

gringoslur

“i love you” is NOTHING compared to te amo. i love you feels like a kiss on the check and te amo feels like fucking marriage.

gringoslur

#I have like a whole thing on saying te amo to anyone

YEA. i had a relationship with someone and she dropped the “te amo” super quicky and i was like…………”thats ok, thank you, but im gonna be honest w you….i’m not saying te amo until i really feel it” thats how serious it is.

te amo IS very serious, very deep, very intimate. when you want to tell someone that you love them without it being massive, the term you want is te quiero

Same for German imho?!??? Ich liebe dich is THE confession. You don’t drop it in a joking way.

livia-arida-deactivated20201018

It might just be me, but I wouldn’t randomly pepper Я люблю тебя into conversation either. It feels… too much.

Maybe it is the English one that is weird

I tell my close friends “I love you” all the time. I think It’s different if I were to say “I’m in love with you”.

elfwreck

In these non-English languages, do parents not tell their children “I love you?” Or is it only romantic?

ebonyheartnet

Oh, I’m monolingual but I know a bit about this one! :D

So, in a lot of languages, there are multiple verbs that mean, “to love,” which are each situational, while, in English, we derive the meaning through context

Like, “Te quiero,” refers to love for friends and family, aka platonic love, while , “Te amo,” or, “Ai shiteru,” in Japanese, is so achingly tender and romantic that you might as well write the other person a receipt for your heart, because it’s theirs now

At some point, English did have multiple verbs for, “to love,” but eventually English speakers decided, “to hell with it, I only want 1 broad term for these big mushy feelings,” because we hate having multiple words for things almost as much as we hate punctuation

TL;DR: cultures that are non-English speaking do tell their kids they love them, they just have multiple words that mean, “To love,” and English is the odd man out because it got tired of that and went
