Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

[shamebats]

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.

[outlaw-monarch]

The hippies, too, attempted this

[shamebats]

Hippies, grunge kids, goths...but by the time emos came around, all the adults were like oh no, the boys have long hair & I can't tell everyone's gender, this is totally unprecedented & a massive issue. We need to bully them mercilessly

[anti-ao3]

if you still donate to ao3 even though:

ao3 censors any support for palestine

they barely improve the website despite surpassing their donation goals every single time

they do not see anything wrong with RPF that sexualizes REAL minors

they excuse racist fanworks, they actually suspend anyone who does not feel comfortable with pedo/incest shippers, or literally anyone who labels themselves antis or anti p/roships

they also don't see anything wrong with ai generated stories that most likely steal from real writers that put their heart and soul into their works

and perhaps a lot more things they do that i might be forgetting

seriously.

if you get mad at marginalized ppl calling out ao3, and you act entitled when your fandom interests are being threatened, then you're a privileged asshole. if you call everyone "puritans" or "stupid kids" for being critical of ao3, you're a privileged asshole. this is not about you. this is about the actual harm ao3 does to real people. your favorite fanfictions should not be your priority. especially if you want to keep supporting palestine or people of color in general, you can't just get mad when they point out the flaws of ao3 and stop supporting them when they're not convenient to you.

[dada-dandy]

Fact check!

. AO3 doesn't censor support for Palestine, it banned one post about it because it wasn't a fanfiction, you can only post fanfiction (or other fanwork, such as fanart) on ao3. If you wrote a fanfiction about Palestine, it would be fine.

. No need to change what's already working. The donations actually go to a legal fund in case of copyright holders suing authors like they often do.

. AO3 is openly anti-censorship, meaning that they only ban what's illegal in the country they're based in. I agree that RPF of real minors is disgusting, but it's the law that needs to change.

. Same thing as above.

. Same thing as above + if they banned ai, sloppists would just post their slops without telling anyone that it's slop. At least, currently, you can easily filter it out.

And yes, wanting to destroy the last bastion of freedom of art online is, indeed, puritan behavior and you are the problem

Sometimes you get a brief glimpse into the American worldview and decide that you don't want to know.

I cannot stress enough that this meme is entirely literal. there's no reference or subtext you don't know. these are simply the objectively most popular works of art from each denomination.

[joycomplexx]

my "too woke" opinion? we cannot be calling people degenerates under any circumstance. i don't care what political side you're on, it doesn't matter. we HAVE to stop using that word

[hyperlexichypatia]

IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

[joycomplexx]

people won't like me saying this but we actually do need to normalize talking about and depicting rape and we need to normalize talking about it like we would any other violence. we need to stop treating it like this taboo word that needs to be censored, this secret subject that can't be alluded to in media. we need to be able to talk about rape and incest the way we talk about murder, or hell, the way people talk about cannibalism on this site.

I think that one of the most frustrating things about algospeak, after the "compliance in advance" self-censorship, is that there is no actual evidence-based justification for it. Everyone who uses it does so because they heard from a guy who heard from a guy that The Algorithm will bury their content if they don't use cutesy euphemisms.

[balaclava-trismegistus]

it's weird how its a literal superstition about algorithms, and it's significantly changing English as it's used

[lemon-emon]

^short video about this from a guy who wrote a book about it (among other related topics)

Stop saying "unalive" and "grape" and "sewerslide" and "pew pew", they're not helping you and they're actively fucking up the world

[cloudabserk]

the demonization of fujoshis is crazy to me. hey you guys i think it’s actually fine if women write homosexual fanfiction

[dada-dandy]

points. i know what you are (antoine daniel fan)
