even if jk rowling wasn’t a bigoted jackass i think i would not associate with harry potter just because of how over-the-top embarrassing the fandom is

[hemipenal-system]

and to be clear the idea of “separating the art from the artist” is kinda bullshit because:

1. the artist is still alive and benefitting from you engaging with the art

2. the art is deeply fucking reflective of every single (and there’s so many) way(s) the author is bigoted as fuck.

compare hp lovecraft, who also wrote a bunch of stuff that was obscenely racist. however, hp lovecraft is dead as shit and can’t do anything bad with the money. jk rowling is using your money from harry potter merch to wreck the lives of minorities

also harry potter really just is bigoted in every way possible. i don’t think i can think of a single minority that doesn’t at least have a problematic depiction alluding to them

there's a really fun balance when you know someone has a crush on you where you can tease them for having a crush on you without letting them know you know they have a crush on you. this only works because people who have crushes will analyze everything you say but not very well. anyway, i love playing with my food.

[ace-trainer-alice]

Gosh, that's so perfect. Your friend is actually the only one who is engaging with this post correctly. Supersedes my original intent, even. Sorry, I bow to her wisdom here. Tell your friend I hope she's having fun!

There is no such thing as “the evil kill-people disorder that makes you kill people”; it has always been a myth made up by demonization to sell more ableism.

[pyrose-the-flame]

"the evil abuse-people disorder that makes you abuse people" is also a myth, no matter what people on TikTok try to tell you

As someone who isn't a furry but has very much grown up around furry art I kinda forget that it's shocking to some people. It's kinda just what a bunch of queer art looks like. That anthro dragon girl might as well be my coworker, what's your fucking problem?

[transmasc-theory]

Transandrophobes will be like "theyfab and birthday boy and transandrocunt and tdicktimized boy and pooner and zippertits aren't slurs, they're just disparaging words made to demean and humiliate a minority I don't like!"

[rob0copyofacopyofacopy]

" Theyfab isn't a slur, silly! it's just a belittling and disparaging term I use to mock, silence and undermine a minority I don't like! "

[this-is-trans-joy]

You literally can’t make a single post about respecting trans people’s chosen names without some rat coming out of the woodwork to say “umm but what if they name themselves a slur?? what if they name themselves adolf hitler am i supposed to respect it then???” brother that sounds like a problem you just made up I’m just trying to get you to respect a tguy named Aiden without calling him a theyfab trender.

[hi-fi-planetoid]

I can't be the only one who remembers that there were huge reddit and 4chan migrations to tumblr a couple years back can I?

Like can we stop giving people who say "pooner" "theyfab" "moid" "hon" and other 4chan slurs/dog whistles the time of day please? It's obvious these people are trying to overwrite the culture here.

I keep seeing people saying it's because of trans men or trans women being inherently predisposed to this behavior as to why tumblr is like this right now, and it's like..no! It's people of all different genders who came from a self hating cesspool and are trying to legitimize the use of their hate speech and toxic culture. Making it about people's gender is just transphobic!

Not to go all "back in my day" but I remember when people would warn about 4chan dog whistles like the triple parentheses on here and disregard anyone using it, and that was basically the era that was the height of "sjw" tumblr that was mocked by 4channers and redditors (probably because we didn't let that shit slide). I think maybe we need to bring that energy back?

[mybitakes]

I’m not even gonna lie if you even slip a theyfab/theymab ONCE or misgender someone bc they’re “aligning themselves with their agab too much” (whatever that means) I’m rebuking you.

You’re just transphobic you have nothing of value to say to me. non-binary people of all things being your biggest opps is embarrassing, grow up. You’re not a “mean transsexual” you just stumbled upon 4chan.

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

this is why I try to refer to inanimate objects as my Daughters when I do that particular meme joke

or say a dog whose sex I don’t know is a Very Good Girl

these things matter even if we don’t think about them

i don’t “follow” my favorite bands. i just get pleasantly surprised when i find out that they released an album 2 months ago.

"here's my original character, Man Who Sucks But Loves His Daughter Very Much" and it's a guy who worships at the altar of patriarchal violence and the woman he uses as an excuse and an effigy to absolve him

[valtsv]

well i think his daughter should tell him to kill himself

[prokopetz]

I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

[bumblebeebats]

I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?
