they hate me for my flat facial expressions and inability to contribute to conversations

I bring a sort of "too many of you really despise CSA survivors" vibe to this website that Tumblr users don't really like.

You survive one of the most traumatizing things a child can go through and all you get in exchange is people telling you that your public existence is making it less fun for them to jerk it. To your trauma.

It's often the most male-catered to and even misogynistic media that feature some of the deepest and borderline homoerotic relationships between men. But that is to be expected. People think that patriarchy enabling homoaffectionate relationships between men is a bug, but it's actually a feature. True love can only come from a place of respect, and men often don't respect nor esteem women. They don't see women as capable of intellect, or strength, or imagination or even humanity. Those attributes are reserved to men. Which is why men's true love is often reserved for other men while women are just props to them. That's why it's easier for a lot of male writers to create stories about supposedly heterosexual male characters having the most world-shattering (accidentally romantic) bonds with other men, but not with women that they're canonically attracted to. It's because they can't fathom their male protagonist being so deeply affected by a woman's character, since women are to be lusted for and kept as props for their little domestic fantasies but never truly respected or admired as individuals. The ancient greeks were more honest about this stuff because they understood that patriarchy and male/male affection went hand in hand.

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.

'tumblr staff has a genuine problem with targeting trans women for deletion and the CEO knowingly harassed a trans woman off and on this site. this is grounds for transphobic discrimination' and 'there's a vocal group of people on here who the majority of them happen to be transfem that are spouting rape and pedophilia apologism and we shouldn't be holding space for these people in order to keep the queer community on tumblr safe' are two thoughts that should be able to coincide but somehow we keep losing y'all in the middle

I am aware the terminology doesnt exclusively refer to one thing but I lowkey hate how "purity culture" has been watered down to someone hating sex scenes and shipping drama when a lot of it is shit like being told youre going to hell for masturbating or children being afraid to speak up about sexual abuse.

I knew "dykebreaking" kinks (aka lesbophobic corrective rape kinks) were common but it was a heavy blow for me to realize it wasn't just mostly cishet men and their girlfriends/wives. It's literally from everyone, and people within the LGBT community feel especially entitled to getting off on That and like they get a pass because they're not cishet.

I’m going to be so honest. I think in the pursuit of an individualized sexual liberation, the Overton window for misogyny has shifted violently towards normalizing bonkers levels of misogyny. Some of you have got to start being feminist killjoys again. I can’t carry this teamfight myself no matter how good I am at fragging liberal false feminists.

[egregore-engine]

I think that we may have lost the plot when we started arguing that it’s feminist to play gacha games, which are predicated on articulating women as units of exchange, one of the oldest kinds of Ur-Misogyny in history.

[egregore-engine]

We desperately need some political consciousness about feminism in the world. Just like a smidge. Please. I’m begging you.

assuming that people like you and want to spend time with you is crucial to making friends. unfortunately this is the hardest thing to do in the world

How “you shouldn’t falsely malign trans women as inherent sexual predators” got warped into “and you should never criticize members of your own community for promoting rape culture or abusing other members of your community” is just shocking to me. Basically a get out of jail free card for people who predate on young trans women.

“no, you see, people who abuse animals are broadly hated in society, and that hatred is normative, which means that the act of kicking a dog into the grand canyon is transgressive, and everything transgressive is queer, so therefore animal abuse is queer, so therefore we should add dog-kickers to the acronym immediately. i have already made a dog-kicker pride flag. if you criticize my brand-new dog-kicker pride flag then you are reactionary. if you criticize my friends who are only queer in the sense that they kick dogs then that is respectability politics. if you warn people not to walk their dogs in the park that me and my fellow dog-kickers hang out at then that’s cancel culture. if you call the cops on my friend who refers to himself as ‘Dog-Kicker Champion’ merely because he has adopted 8 dogs in the past 8 months yet there are no dogs in his apartment and something isn’t adding up, that’s actually carceral. maybe those dogs WANTED to get kicked into the grand canyon, did you ever consider that? if you really cared about animal welfare you would let the dogs get adopted by D.K.C. because at least then they wouldn’t be in a crowded shelter. I actually think it’s much more suspicious that you want to CONTROL what happens to these dogs.”

so much promising media ruined by having male protagonists when will it end

I think the weirdest form of fatphobia I keep bumping into is writers suddenly becoming deeply concerned with physical realism when a fat character is involved even in contexts where everybody's physical capabilities are explicitly bullshit. "They're fat, it wouldn't make sense for them to have super speed" and it would make sense for the 98-pound twink to be able to run at Mach Fuck? That's something skinny people can do in real life, is it?
