In 1953, the CIA started an experiment where twelve housewives in Northern Virginia were secretly given testosterone and hypnosis.

my dad said he watched the last minutes of the knicks game and he thinks you really only need to watch the last minutes of a basketball game and the rest is boring. he's a baseball fan.
in my opinionnnnnnnn i don't want a ton of propaganda that sounds like 'she did nothing wrong, she was never manipulative or mean, she was treated like a villain but she wasn't one'. like sure this is true for many characters. but i don't think fandom feels the need to defend awful male characters like that. for jokes, sure, 'he's a genocidal maniac but he's MY babygirl!' kind of thing. well, i want that for my women too. carol sturka is a bit racist and absurdly american-centric. mel medarda was corrupt and a capitalist (or close to its in-universe equivalent). and cersei, and katherine pierce, and alicent, and SO many others, yeah they did all that actually. and thank god. not a good story without them!
i agree, i love evil women, i love morally gray women, i love flawed women who are trying their best, and i love nuance! i think part of what is so frustrating about fandom misogyny is that it makes it so much harder to engage with these characters in a nuanced way. that said, i do think it's fair to point out that some of these characters genuinely didn't do anything wrong and are hated regardless. unfortunately, fandom misogyny and also misogyny in general comes in many different forms and unpacking them all is perhaps beyond the purview of the format of a tumblr tournament, which tends to encourage hyperbole. in any case, i do get where the "she did nothing wrong" defensiveness comes from, i've been guilty of it myself many times.
Why are people pretending that Imane Khelif has received overwhelming support. Why are we ignoring millions of people being transphobic and intersexist in favour of only a fraction having sympathy and support for her? As if the majority of internet results returned in her name aren't violently intersexist and against her?
Having F on her birth certificate has not saved her. Systems can still demand further proof of "eligibility." People still refuse to believe her, insisting she is lying, that she is a trans woman, or that she is a man in disguise.
Legal designation does not protect assignment typical cis intersex women from misogyny, intersexism, or transphobic policing of their bodies. It does not prevent them from being publicly scrutinized, accused, and dehumanized when their bodies do not fit expectations.
So when people try to claim that cis intersex women are overwhelmingly supported in their womanhood, understand that this is false. They are asking you to ignore the reality of how quickly society turns on them the moment their bodies do not fit expectations.
Pretending otherwise is propaganda. People use the lives of people like Imane Khelif to push the idea that there is a clean class of people safely exempt from this kind of oppression, that cis intersex women are automatically protected from systemic transmisogyny because they are "really" female on paper.
Being accused of being a man, having your body publicly dissected, and being treated as fraudulent does not stop being that kind of violence just because someone decides you aren't the "right" kind of victim
The moment someone’s body is seen as suspicious, that supposed exemption disappears. They are still subjected to the same suspicion, humiliation, and violence. This reframing uses the same bioessentialist logic TERFS use to selectively define who is even allowed to "count" as a target of misogynistic violence in the first place
I've also noticed a lack of any mention of Caster Semenya in these conversations as well. I believe this very well could be influenced by misogynoir, however, I am also inclined to believe it is because the majority of the people having these conversations are so new to it that they are completely unfamiliar with her case and how hard cis intersex women have fought for their places in professional sports. This idea is heavily supported by the belief that cis intersex women are widely supported. If they are familiar with her, then they are ignoring her because she proves them wrong, as she is still banned from her favoured sport

I know people re uploading your work without credit sucks but I'm kind of grateful for it cause it led me to actually find it in the first place and read it properly
See, this is what sucks THE MOST!
Because I am, quite explicitly, OKAY with people posting my work elsewhere (especially for like, meme purposes, or edits, etc) AS LONG AS CREDIT IS GIVEN AND CLEAR. People voice-act my comics on YouTube, and I've been fine with this THE WHOLE ASS TIME.
I'm assuming you didn't find my work because the reposter led you to it? It's because other people in the comments told you where to find me.
So this bozo is just doing extra damage without need for it, and also pretending they can make money on it somehow, which is hilarious.
I'm thinking the best way to deal with this is to just keep commenting on all their posts that this isn't their work, and where to find me, because at least it'll be going some small amount of good.
AND THE OTHER WORKS, TOO! They've stolen other comics as well, so if you have the clock app, please go and comment on their posts and link back to the original authors!!
So, I actually had to deal with this guy myself like two weeks ago! If you noticed all the Tapas pages of WTL from "Boy in the Bubble" onwards vanish along with this entire blog, that is why.
It put a real big dent in my schedule for pages too, because I didn't want to upload anything new while someone was actively looking to take it for themselves. It also took the wind out of my sails for making new pages at all. I'm getting back to it now, thankfully, but it still wasn't a great feeling to deal with.
If you go to that account now, my comic pages are gone, but that was only after I went through a series of ridiculous steps to make that happen. I'm hoping that maybe telling people what happened will help them get their stuff taken down too.
As a summary of the pure bs I had to go through:
Someone tagged me in my Discord server telling me that they had found pages of chapter two of the comic on TikTok under a different account than my actual TikTok page. Currently my uploads on TikTok stop at "Check-In", because my comic really isn't formatted for that app and the views were very inconsistent. Plus its just a hassle to update there lmao
I had noticed there was a lot of new subs and server members over the past two weeks, and now I knew why. They were likely being funneled very indirectly from this account.
Well, when I found time to take a look for myself, I had been blocked already! The comment my gf made saying "Hey this is so and so's comic and you can read it here," was also gone!
Looking around on my side account I could see that they had stolen other comics as well; @pink-onyx-au and @su-revived stood out to me because I know those two creators personally. I knew C4 just... didn't have an account at all and that Mod Joe had complained in the past about someone stealing his comic, which is prolly what led him to making an account and posting pages himself since he hadn't been posting them previously. I had assumed that all got dealt with but clearly not cause this guy is still here taking stuff 😔
Anyway, I found out that before they were stealing Tapas comics (and yes it just Tapas - I'll come back to that in a second) they were running a failed Roblox page! Turns out if you do a Google search of their username, it has some extra metadata attached that isn't visible on TikTok-
If you look up that other username- oh wow look a TikTok account that posts Roblox content!
And if you look up that name on Roblox, oh boy there is indeed an account with a matching player avatar there too!
So, since they blocked me on the SU account, I then tried to message the Roblox one.
I genuinely didn't care that they were uploading my pages. Plenty of people have asked to translate my comics and post them and I've said yes. Hell, if any of you reading this wants to do that, here's the Goggle Drive link to all the blank pages and resources to do so. I don't need clock app clout, if I gave a shit I'd still be posting pages myself.
I did care that they were actively taking credit for them and refusing to let readers have full free access to my comic by removing any comment saying where to read the whole thing.
They pretty much just ignored me when I messaged them and then blocked me, but notably, they also blocked my alt on that account too after blocking it on the SU one, which is how I know the account belongs to them given that I never at any point used my alt to contact them about the comic pages.
After exhausting any normal means of communication to ask nicely, "Hey can you please add credit to those uploads or literally just a Tapas link", I decided enough was enough. I went and filed a copywrite takedown form (and as a certified commie queer and copywrite law hater this pained me) and asked my server to leave comments on as many videos as they could saying who created the comic and where to read it. I then privated this blog and changed every upload on Tapas that they hadn't posted yet to be an image saying to come to my server to read the rest. Anyone who had actually been reading up to that point could still get past the security question just fine, so I wasn't worried about locking out any readers.
If this guy was that hell bent on taking my stuff, I wasn't gonna make it easy.
About 24 hours later, after blocking several of my serve members and deleting probably dozens of comments, all my pages magically vanished. Whether my report spooked them or they got miffed by the total shutdown of their source for pages with a very clearly targeted message attached or they just got sick of deleting comments, I don't know. But if putting them on blast it what it takes for them to start doing the bare minimum, so be it.
I wasn't aware they were making attempts to monetize the uploads. That's prolly why they're so determined to do this. If this account gets outted at any point for NOT being the sole source of these comics, they lose money. And the reason they're taking from Tapas is likely because not a lot of people are familiar with the platform. If something is on Twitter, that is super easy to source, but an app exclusively for reading web comics on, not so much. And I know they're only stealing from Tapas because A) privating my tumblr didn't stop them, in fact they actually made a new post about 10 minutes after I privated it with more of my comic, and B) they seemingly stopped posting Ponyx pages where the Tapas comic ends, even though the blog has plenty of content past that point.
Long story short, this guy is a grifter through and through. They had the chance to sit and talk with me like a rational human and instead opted to be shady and dismissive, so my sympathy is gone. Fuck 'em
Yea they blocked me too, i filed several copy right claims against them. 1 came back recently that they had taken action against them but since im blocked i cannot see the extent of such but i know they are still stealing both mine and many others. but mostly mine it seems being that my AU makes up the majority of their posts. its really annoying. at first glance i was like oh cool they are spreading my au around on a site i dont use. only to see 0 source and everyone thinking all the stolen content was theirs. so me and the team made a tiktok and started posting in order to have a more solid claim of ownership. its been working great.
