I think there’s really a conversation to be had about people harassing others to the point of breaking under the guise of being “morally good” and “protecting others”. I’ve never felt protected or safe seeing people like that. I think “oh, if I step even a little out of line I’m next”.
a lot of these same type of people will demand the person they’re harassing to take accountability but I’ve noticed that no one really has any more to say on what they mean by that. Accountability here does not mean accountability. What they want is an exile, or harassment to the point of breaking.
You and a friend have an argument and they decide you’re toxic? You said something problematic when you were 12/13? You like something that makes someone else uncomfortable?
You have to either disappear from the internet forever or kill yourself.
my brother has been watching some guy stream his first playthrough of undertale and this is killing me

I think people need to understand that everyone has to unlearn misogynistic behaviors and thinking patterns. Cis women and trans women and cis men and trans men and anyone who doesn’t fall under those categories are all completely capable of being misogynistic and actively hurtful to women. Trans men are included in this, obviously, but when you only call for trans men to unlearn this mindset, you are no longer being progressive and fair. You are singling out a minority.
it pisses me off to see cis women saying 'trans women are misogynistic because they were raised as men' and trans women replying 'no we aren't because no we weren't!' and i'm sitting there staring at the camera like it's the office. because like women are ALL raised to be just as misogynistic as men. it's a notable goddamn feature of the patriarchy.
like if you are marginalized it is in your own self-interest to interrogate and deconstruct the cultural narratives that position you as subnormal. this is what starts a lot of queer people on wanting to reform the world into something more compassionate and egalitarian.
but it's not the marginalization that makes you any more or less ethical than anyone else. it's the work. you gotta do the actual work.
I feel like part of the problem is a really popular misunderstanding of bigotry.
Misogyny is not just prejudice experienced by a woman. It is not simply something that happens TO a woman. It has nothing to do with the woman. It’s about the misogynist.
Bigotry is not determined or defined by the target of that bigotry. The bigotry is stored in the bigot.
Misogynists will be misogynistic towards any person they associate with femininity, including cisgender men.
When a misogynist cis man tears another man down for liking something he thinks is girly, he is still being misogynistic.
A cis male coach telling his cis male student he runs like a girl is being misogynistic.
A cis woman punishing her son for wanting a “girl” toy or policing her boyfriend’s hygiene habits and interests for anything she considers emasculating, is being misogynistic!
When a woman gets in a car accident and is injured more severely because the safety testing on that car was only done using crash test dummies and models based on men, she’s experiencing misogyny.
When the medication she takes for her injuries doesn’t work right or has unexpected side effects because it was only tested on men, she’s experiencing misogyny.
When the tools she uses at work that are the wrong shape for her hands, and the jumpsuit that’s part of her uniform which she has to take off completely to use the bathroom, and all the spaces she moves through and everything within them are designed with the assumption that an average male body is the only body that matters— she is experiencing misogyny.
Misogyny is the belief that women are inherently inferior, and the systems and institutions built around that belief. It can be experienced by anyone, and anyone is capable of having misogynistic beliefs and doing misogynistic things.
Bigotry is not about the target. It’s about the bigot, and what the bigot believes, and the way those bigoted beliefs have shaped our world.
I don’t care what race gender or sexuality you are, you were raised with racist, sexist, homophobic beliefs. Because it’s literally impossible not to be.
And the harder you try to cling to the idea that misogyny is something that happens TO women, rather than something coming FROM misogynists, the more blind you’ll be to your own misogynistic beliefs, and all the ways everything in our society is a product of or directly reinforces those beliefs.

if you go on tumblr dot com and say some variation of "they should have [thing that clearly exists] BUT [twist that's crucial for the post to make sense]" you get a bunch of responses like "this already exists, it's called [the thing, without the twist]" and "this entirely new concept intrigues me, but let's go one step further by completely cancelling out the twist."
I don't know what's worse between that and the people the just go "hear me out: take on [well established cornerstone of a genre] BUT! [twist that was already the whole point of the original].
They should do Alien but it's about the horror of unwanted pregnancy
There's also a third category of responses that are like "this already exist, it's called [not even the thing upon which the twist was proposed]".
(Some of the really ambitious ones go as far as to insist that the thing with the twist already exists, then name a piece of media which is in fact the exact opposite of both the thing and the twist, which is actually kind of fascinating in a "taking a true-or-false exam and getting every answer wrong" kind of way.)
Some of my favorite miis ive made
can't stop thinking the sentence 'mommy's going to leave you to die of exposure now' ever since seeing this mommy dom seeking spambot messaged me (my personal emotional response to the concept) and also 'i bet some rich people used to have fucked up wetnurse fetishes instead because a lot of them didn't see their mothers all that much initially' (historians please chime in)
once you realize how much everyone fucking loves age- and incest-play you'll go even more insane when they tell you to join their campaign to run transgender woman #487324 off the internet (where she gets her income) for her incest kink or whatever
it really is Our Righteous "pouting and throwing a cute tantrum at my partner to get what i want", "daddy/mommy", "old man yaoi", and a long etc v. their villainous "calling her partner 'little sis'" to encourage sexual abuse of children or smth
straight people especially LOVE ageplay have you ever seen them interact. it is like their main thing.
and not like it is important but since i sometimes see that thrown around: they love doing it in public too, and i don't mean in an obscure tumblr blog (theyre straight) but at. the store in front of 20 people. again, it is one of their main things.
i'm not saying anything that hasn't been said before but i'm just thinking about how common and rendered-invisible by normalization it is to see a straight couple where the woman playfully acts like a little girl sometimes for whatever reason and it's. fine. and i of course don't mean they should leave it in the bedroom or whatever i'm not christian, i'm saying it's so overt but of course it's fine when non-transmisogynized people do it. they have never harmed children in any way obviously.
Hi I'm American movie director, here's my idea for a live action movie based on a widely beloved series: Ok so a team of US soldiers are transported to another world.
Bold new direction for the zelda CDI series
I was gonna make a joke about sonic, then remembered the sonic movies, then I was gonna make a joke about pacman, and remembered pixels. So really the point here is that the United States is Satan.
Revealing the ignorance of my youth here, but who is this and what is she known for?
Anita Sarkeesian, feminist who interpreted media under a feminist lens. She did a series about video games and she was the subject of targeted harassment. That was the start of gamergate
Minor correction, the start of gamergate was based around a different reporter, Zoe Quinn, but they were both absolutely violently threatened over their involvement in video game criticism and development. A hate campaign was started by Quinn's ex-boyfriend when he wrote a post falsely accusing them of dating video game journalists in order to receive positive reviews on their own game, Depression Quest, which led other bad actors to accuse all women in the industry (Zoe identified as female at the time) of perceived sexual immorality. Anita Sarkeesian's brilliant Youtube series Tropes vs Women in Video Games (which everyone should watch, right now) sparked a particular nerve for criticizing popular games of killing and/or victimizing any important female character (there is a CHILLING bit that borders on ludicrous where she describes the plots of a seemingly endless parades of games as "In [title], [male player character's] wife dies, and you then have to rescue [his] daughter."). That series did actually make a huge change in the industry, especially when touted by progressive legacy developers like Tim Schafer (Monkey Island, Psychonauts), who went on to expand hiring in his company to front women and minority voices, but the shift didn't really show for a long time and echoes of the sexism that plagues the industry at its core are still rampant.
Thanks for the correction! I was like 8-10 years old when this all went down (2014-2016) so I only know vaguely about it. I’m still learning about this.
Fun fact about Lucario: researchers don't classify them as patriarchal or matriarchal, but the female Lucario do, on average, tend to hold more power in pack dynamics than the males. This is because male Lucario VASTLY outnumber the females and, if they want a chance at passing their genes, they would have to be in the female Lucario's favor. This creates a phenomenon in pack dynamics where males may argue and disagree with each other more, but rarely ever argue with females, even if they have no interest in mating with any of them (trained social rules and all that still taking over). Male lucario are also more willing to listen to the females. You may notice your active or mischievous Lucario act calmer in front of a female or immediately back down when a female lucario (or female pokemon in general) scolds them. That's the reason why.
Another interesting phonomena this creates is the number of lucario-crossed pokemon compared with riolu/lucario crossbreeds. Hetero female Lucario tend not to struggle when picking mates because again, the males vastly outnumber them, while male hetero Lucario may struggle more. Lucario are monogomous and mate for life so there is rarely a chance they could have a chance with the female after she has a mate. Since they struggle to find female Lucario, many will end up mating with female pokemon of the same egg groups, such as Lopunny, Luxray, or Gardevoir.
