Whenever you drop the trans in trans man you are relying on trans men's extreme levels of erasure, wherein most people do not consider trans men when thinking of the 'man' category to appeal to simplifications that further erase their experience.

Most feminists would agree with:

'if men experienced periods there'd be mandatory education on it' 'no one would ever do this to MEN's genitalia (when talking about FGM' 'if men had to give birth it would be considered equal in sacrifice to war'

Because, the category of trans man is so incredibly erased from people's heads that they dont even register when making these statements. A lot of transphobes (specifically the tmen hating kind) use this against trans men by dropping the trans in 'trans men': 'We've already established in basic feminism that trans men dont have to' 'You want us to consider that trans men might experience misogyny in ways other groups dont?!?' 'Everyone knows the healthcare industry revolves around trans men why would you say that phalloplasty having three times the complication rate of vaginoplasty might be to do with misogyny?!?'

They operate on the basis of plausible deniability, because if you call them out on it they can just say 'but trans men are men. are you denying that?' Most of them know well what they are doing.

it’s not weird to find fanfiction from 2021, or 2017, or 2014 that you’ve never read and actually taking your time to read it.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

read fanfiction! write fanfiction! comment on fanfiction! let’s not let fanculture die people!!!!!

[bundibird]

Not only is it not weird, it is ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED. Authors LOVE IT when people do this!!! Its not "weird" and its not "neutral" -- its a fucking DELIGHT. Feel very absolutely free to read though an author's entire back catalogue, leaving kudos and/or comments along the way; we absolutely freaking love when someone does this. There is nothing more joyful than getting a comment notification for an old fic. It will make our day, I promise.

[taraljc]

There needs to be a special word for the warm, gratifying feeling that you get when you watch someone kudos everything you've ever written in a specific fandom in backwards order over 3 days. and that word needs a modifier to express the inexpressible joy when they start leaving comments on every story no matter how old it is.

What's a crack fic? I haven't heard that term before

fics that are comedy. so it’s the equivalent of comedy movies.

crack fic = this fic is a comedy

crack treated seriously fic = this fic is a comedy, but it’s still written in serious manner

worth mentioning that these fics are not exclusive to comedy movies, comedy shows, or comedy media only. media that are canonically not about comedy at all (like squid game or the hunger games) can and do have crack fics and crack treated seriously fics about them. so these “crack” and “crack treated seriously” tags are just fanfic genres. how canon is is irrelevant.

[zetabrarian]

Gonna add the Fanlore entry for this one because I don't think "comedy" is quite the right descriptor. Historically, crack fics are based in the absurd, specifically, which isn't really the same thing as a comedy in the literary sense.

[heartbeat-sys]

you will be so nice to fictives in relationships that arent with the character you personally ship them with. please.

even if it "goes against" what you think theyre orientation "should" be. even if you swear you have a good reason to hate it. this should not impact how you treat fictives. okay

[heartbeat-sys]

also i dont just mean romantic relationships. thats what i was thinking of first and foremost (i was just looking in the ship tag for me and my girlfriend. dont do this) but it applies to other relationships as well. fictives relationships do not need to line-up with your interpertation of them and idea of what they "should" be for them to be respected.

[heartbeat-sys]

wrong their... damn... but yeah

[heartbeat-sys]

i dont think those jokes are like. made with ill-intent. it just gets on my nerves because theyre made so often and the general sentiment of "fictives are funny" gets spread around so much and — look i know being a fictive kind of. is funny. sonic the hedgehog is working at walmart. picture it. pretty funny. but like, that seems like... almost everything. that goes around. that and "i hate fictive-heavy fakers" and "having fictives is the worst i hate it when we get fictives #fictive #plurality #fictive-heavy" like idk its the least bothersome of the three but im still tired of it. maybe not of the jokes themselves so much as the ever-present idea that the best fictives can be is "funny"

tip to make transphobes EXPLODE (ftm edition)

manspread as much as you possibly can every time you sit down to assert dominance

[traff1a]

[lovethebadguy]

The demise of Vine is drawing closer. I couldn’t stand the thought of all those cat videos out there being lost to the abyss, so I gathered a few (i.e. nearly 50) of my favourites.

I hope you enjoy this compilation of cats and kittens being funny, silly, or just plain adorable.

[jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear]

I have nothing against people disliking certain ships, but booooy howdy do I dislike when they put those hate comments in the tags of the ship and characters themselves. What's the point of that?

I go in the ship/character tag and I'm bombarded with bullshit.

That's a the kind post you don't tag folks. Leave the tags for celebrating the characters and ship, not attacking them

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

Have you ever noticed how straight woman tend to romanticize yaoi, and completely ignore yuri? Yuri is literally so underrepresented in fandoms and as a lesbian it kills me.

Also the obsession straight woman have with gay men is lowkey weird, reminds me of straight men wanting to 'turn lesbiand straight.'

then YOU write more yuri. I never say “yuri is bad”. all I say is that I enjoy yaoi, and therefore I read, write and talk about yaoi on my own blog.

if you like yuri, then YOU read, write and talk about yuri. nobody is stopping you.

I am a cis woman, and I am obsessed with my mlm ship — because that’s my passion and my source of comfort. I write because I love my mlm ship, and because these fictional men make me happy (and no, I don’t want them straight, I want them gay and in love with each other). I am not going to apologize for doing whatever makes ME happy for myself and my own enjoyment. I am not here for a stranger’s approval. sorry if you find it weird I guess? I literally don’t know who you are, and a stranger’s opinion is not something I care about. especially when they come into MY house and start telling me what I should or should not do and enjoy.

I’ll continue reading, writing, enjoying and talking about yoai. and you can’t stop me.

again, fanfiction is not an act of activism. do whatever makes you happy, whatever turns you on, instead of trying to shame others for enjoying the thing they enjoy instead of the thing you enjoy.

[despair-sys]

Anon, there's literally nothing strange in hetero women being interested in fictional m/m pairings more than if they'd be with f/f. They are literally interested in men. Can they be interested in f/f fiction? Sure, but that's not something you can demand. You can't demand someone to be interested in something because you want them to. You can show it to them, but if they say "no", you just have to accept it.

I recommend for you to start interacting with the people who are already posting works for f/f ships. One of the reasons there's very little of yuri fanworks is literally the lack of support for the people who are posting about it. You can shout as much as you want, but until you start actually doing something, it won't change anything. I'm not even mentioning the fact that there are so many femslash events currently + there exist an entire archive just for femslash works.

PS A part of those, as you call them, "straight women" are actually queer women, nonbinary people and trans men – it's not uncommon for nonbinary people and trans men to be misgendered for their interest in m/m fiction (there exists a connection between transphobia and the discussed topic).

[zimowahistoria-sbcl]

has anyone considered that one of the reasons you shouldn’t repost artists’ work—especially without credit, and when every single page literally says “reuploading is prohibited”—is because you’re altering their original vision?

the artist ships sbcl, and those tags were there in the original post, yet the repost is captioned dadbastian. of-fucking-course. it literally took me 30 seconds of reverse image searching to find the source.

i’m not going to reblog the repost because i don’t want to give it any more attention, but here’s the link to the original post on pixiv.

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

[despairsystem]

Guesses about who/what was in whose motive in chapter 1

The post contains minor spoilers to the newest bonus episode. If it was only about families, then feel free to correct us.

Teruko – her brother David – his sister Xander – possibly no video motive (he was provided with a different one), or real David if the David that is a part of the cast is an impostor Whit – his father (unless his dead mother counts) Charles – possibly his parents (unless his dead brother counts) Ace – probably nobody (unless his dead bestie counts) Nico – their cat Eden – the girl she kissed J – Mariabella? but we don't think J would care much about her Arturo – his parents (unless his dead sister counts) Rose – her family (this one is rather the most obvious guess) Veronika – her best friend Arei – Wes

Additionally, we think there's a possibility that one of the future motives can be money and it could turn Rose into a murderer because she wants to help her family that is in debt – she doesn't really seem to be specifically close to anyone plus she was betrayed already what could work as an additional trigger to commit murder (even the nicest character can try to kill, and maybe even the nicest ones are the most dangerous what was suggested once already, if I remember correctly).

[despair-sys]

Yeah, it makes much more sense than what came on our mind first lol

[maydayparkers]

Literally begging people to engage with media in a way that isn’t “strip layered characters into a one-size-fits-all babie personality that’s basically just the phrase ‘appley juice :3’ as a personality”

[maydayparkers]

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you smooth away at every rough edge that makes a well written character interesting you’re always going to end up with the same smooth sphere. And if you’re only comfortable playing around with that sphere then either you never liked the original all that much or you should probably have a long think about how you consume with media and why this is the only way you seem able to do so

[bunniboiz]

"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps

[bunniboiz]

and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.

Ms. Naegi Speculation

(spoilers for bonus ep 4 under cut)

My first thought when I saw this scene was, "Wait, isn't that Kyo's hair?" (source for Kyo's name). And yeah, when compared side-by-side, it certainly does look like the same hair! So, new theory: Kyo was adopted by Makoto or Komaru (or perhaps a child or grandchild of one of them, considering the span of time between canon DR and DRDT), and is also a trans girl, but didn't figure that out until after getting adopted, which is why we/Teruko know Kyo as a boy.

This also would give some context to the caption for the au drawing, which is, "In the scenario where Teruko and Kyo stayed together. There are also changes to the lives of other cast members, but, I’m too lazy to draw…" Perhaps this means that Kyo is scouting Ultimates in the US to try and look for/reconnect with Teruko, but if they had stayed together as children, Kyo wouldn't have been doing that, so Ace and some of the other students may not have been scouted.

Additionally, the Nagito-esque jacket is making me wonder about Kyo's feelings on Teruko's luck - does she see a lot of herself and her own life/luck in Nagito? Does she even see Teruko as the unlucky one, or does she view the whole luck problem as being hers?
