I dont like how "reclaim" has turned into "can use against others in the exact same way it always has been and equally offensively"

lrb i still think about when patricia taxxon compared herself to george floyd. and her little hangers-on defended her for this because "they were both oppressed"
Queer unity has been trying as hard as possible to downplay any possible transfem issue. Pay gap adding up to thousands a year? Not a big deal. V coding? Never mention it. Trans women are much more likely to be sent to an early grave than their male counterparts? Stop bringing that up. Trans people collaborating with kiwifarms? Just internet drama.
You know what IS an important issue? Getting called a fucking birthday boy. They get all hands on deck about it. They will write VERY long posts about how important it is you not use it, and that anyone who does must be punished as severely as possible
There's only one explanation. The lives of trans women are so worthless to them, so fucking disposable, that a trans man getting invalidated is actually more important to them. That's how these people, who demand we view them as family and allies, who think we should be ready to die for them, view us.
I know people who treat house flies with more respect than that.
forever reminded of this fucking yt reply i got in a thread abt transmisogyny, this kinda attitude is so common. even when you do bring up shit that disproportionately or exclusively affects transfems the response is "what abt me" or downplaying it
"Damn, v-coding sounds terrible... I hope they don't do that to trans men, too!" Because obviously it's *bad* when it happens to trans women, but oh dear god, THINK OF THE TRANS MEN that this might hypothetically happen to in a different situation!! I'm going to fucking cry. Trans women are so unvalued, these people look at the reality that trans women have to wake up to every single day, and they respond with "yeah, it's terrible when the sex slave gets raped. That must really hurt! But god, imagine if a HUMAN was raped instead? HORROR!"
some of you guys are more upset about pomni in fortnite than you were about those clips of those tadc voice actors joking about wanting to say the n word 😭
no worse feeling than going on some subculture fashion clothing website and seeing the size chart runs from extra small to petite to pequeño to microscopique. yeah here at DeathKillFuckShadow Fantastique Cloth Imaginations i think you’ll find that we see the world a bit difference… we have bleak brutal imaginations… what if blood and fangs were COOL… but we cannot in our most tortured imaginations picture a woman who has a stouter frame than the fucking Insulindian Phasmid
if you're still doing fandom blogging about good omens right now you're just a fundamentally pathetic, selfcentered, and spineless person. this is a man who used his fame as an author to sexually abuse women, and the profits from his media empire to try and bury them legally. there's no way to publicly celebrate anything with his name on it that doesn't directly contribute to the legacy that allowed him to do this. go read any other fucking book. and since you all love bringing up terry pratchett's name like a cudgel to defend yourselves against criticism so much why don't you just go start posting about anything else he's ever written instead. because if he's half the saint people talk about him like he was, i'm sure he'd agree that denying gaiman the cultural ubiquity that let him get away with repeated rape offenses is far far more important than the continued relevance of any single novel and its adaptations.
Or maybe bad people make good art and the puriteen knee jerk reaction that engaging with art made by immoral people is immoral is itself rooted in weird religious beliefs about sin that should be interrogated critically and probably dismissed as stupid.
You guys have almost make me want to pick up a Neil Gaiman book myself.
^dipshit alert for your blocklists everyone
it is genuinely fucking scary how so many people in online kink spaces act this way about people setting boundaries around them. you are Not being censored if someone online blocks you for drawing particular kinks, in fact would quietly blocking and not engaging with you not be the more responsible option here?
like what exactly is the problem with someone blocking for your kinks and how are you being censored from this exactly??? why are people like this SO insistent that everyone around them has to be exposed to the content they make and nobodys allowed to express any sort of discomfort about it? like can you SERIOUSLY not think of any reason why someone wouldnt want to see particular kinks besides wanting to "censor" you 😭
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.
Hey once again I would like to remind y'all that when you see shit like THIS:
You should check the blog
This person is actively advocating for not only pedophilic books (because they're "suppressed") but is literally waxing poetic about how explicit selfcest porn of a mass shooter encouraged them to start this effort:
Sorry but I am not convinced about censorship by someone who is defending "How to Practice Child Love" and "The Pedophile's Handbook" and some of y'all either need to 1) check these fucking blogs or 2) be a pedo defending freak with your whole chest like this person so I can avoid your ass
I genuinely think Mouthwashing fandom is a good example on how real life misogyny is very wired on people brains and influenced how they engage with fictional misogyny.
You have a story about a woman being assaulted and telling a man she trusted but being dismissed because he is friends with the attacker, and people fixate on shipping her with either of those men.
You have a story about how men that downplay their male friends violence, assume neutrality is the safer option, unintentionally help create an environment that's unsafe to vulnerable people, at a risk becoming a victim themselves. And people make it about toxic yaoi.
You have a character kill herself because she didn't want birth the child of her abuser. And people make AUs where she happily keep the baby.
Misogyny isn't just "I hate women", it's also downplaying their trauma, defending those who caused it, and reducing them to mothers or wives against their wishes under this idea of what womanhood is about.
I don't think we can separate fandom misogyny from it's real world influence, not yet.
say what you will about modern tumblr but the fucking discourse atmosphere was a bajillion times worse in the 2010s. whatevers eating itself alive on twitter now used to be HERE dude
people would doxx each other via blog widgets over komaeda .
not sure i can handle learning much more information
this review of that new fantasy book authored by a popular tumblr user might be one of the most biting pieces of literary criticism on goodreads
...[A] woman gawked back at me with familiar amber eyes. Ringlets of gold fell to her chin, a lion's mane about a face that glowed bronze with the sun. Her lips were pouty petals, her jaw slim and graspable, her breasts heaving under an unremarkable brown dress.

I'm now trying to figure out if this is the second person I've seen moved to write giant screeds about how bad this is, or if it's the third, because I've seen one on tumblr and there's also a huge blog post about it here, and it might be the same goodreads user or it might be just that terrible that people keep feeling the need to complain about it at extreme length.
Anyway, I got blocked by the author before it was published for leaving a comment on someone else's post about it, so I feel like I'm half owed one (1) actually catty public post, and this is it. Mostly because Goodreads is a bitch and won't let you read things without logging in, so there's an alternative big hater post about the book if people want to gawk.
hey the goodreads post is my review! <- if you don't have goodreads you can read it in this link to my tumblr post. thank you so much, i'm honored it made so many people laugh.
edit: irt the author's subconscious racism (specifically antiblackness), they made the following post referring to it, which they have since deleted. no guesses as to why. i'm posting it here so you're all aware of their feelings regarding the criticism of their characters of color and what they plan to do about it:
(content warning for antiblackness and whitewashing)
that's right. they are going to start "white-ifying" their black characters to avoid accusations of racism.
