gentrification is when trash goes in trash cans
i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.
someone who's confused but who's got the spirit has the best thing, which is respect. the other stuff is secondary. I'd take someone who's messing up but doing their best to treat me respectfully any day over someone who's using the right words to do me wrong.

my number one advice for trans women both on this shitass platform and in real life is: you do not have to answer that question. people are so used to exploiting transfems' collective low self esteem that they will just expect you to answer questions that are best responded to with an openly disgusted stare. you do not have to answer these motherfuckers' questions. you don't owe anyone an explanation. "who do you think you are to ask me that" and "what makes you think that's an acceptable thing to say to me" are good, but most of the time you can just say nothing and look at them like they just offered you a spoon and a bowl of shit to eat. you'd be amazed how fast people start backtracking if you just say nothing and let their idiot question grow stale in the air
and needless to say you do not need to answer anons. yes this includes if they tell you everyone is saying something about you and can you explain. it is a trick. let them refresh your blog in vain
irl this doesn't work on people who have made up their minds to be openly hostile but it works on just about everyone else. most people have less-than-unshakable social confidence. practically everybody is secretly afraid of that moment where they realize they did something socially wrong. and no version of that moment is as jarring as when the flow of interaction just. ends. nobody is ready for the script to just stop. consequently, if you can project a passable lack of uncertainty during the brief, lurching silence that follows when you just don't respond to someone's weird question, in a way that is clearly deliberate, it only takes about 3-4 seconds at most before the other person will assume they fucked up bad even if they're not sure how. you just stare at them with perplexed disgust. they will backtrack and apologize. you still don't have to say anything. if you know them and you want to let them off with a warning, you can let them squirm for a second and then say "anyway," and change the subject like they were just being weird and you're doing them a favor. if you don't know them, or don't want to, just say say nothing, look at them like they're gross, and then ignore them
you must practice becoming every woman in this image, this skill will serve you better than you could ever imagine
"transfems can do bad things too" yeah no shit you never let us forget it
"transfems use their identity as a shield to deflect from the fact that they're capable of bad things" you never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever stop reminding us that we're capable of harm. what shield. transfems are routinely scrutinized and held "accountable" via constant torment, stalking, harassment, and thinkpieces written to counteract shit we never said. what shield. transfems are not able or allowed to exist online or in real life without a bunch of people reminding her that she can be an evil pedo rapist. what fucking shield

“do not attribute malice to what could easily be incompetence” idk a man buying a truck he knows he and his wife can’t afford and then telling her to get another job and/or sell her own car sounds like a pretty classic abusive husband move . but hey maybe i’m an ableist asshole for recognizing the power structures at play here
like this is some of the most transparent shit and liberal tumblr users with blogs dedicated to counting down until the end of trumps second term bc they think the end of that will solve anything at all are reading this and saying “don’t attribute malice to what could be incompetence” and my mutuals are putting it on my dash. come on. i thought we hated men more than this.
Okay well it's actually pretty well reviewed.

Breaking my several year harry potter silence just to say that in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, they removed the harry potter reference they originally had in the game. Which means that if you still consume hp content and talk about it, you are doing worse than fucking capcom
@endigolikesarson In the original, for the running joke regarding Valant and doors, Apollo calls Valant a muggle
While in the remaster, he says this which is way funnier even without the baggage
Everyone reblogging this post saying stuff like "they probably changed it because of copyright/dated reference" NEEDS to know that 1. There are multiple references to Doctor Who and Star Trek and a character probably named after someone from Battlestar Galactica of all things and 2. The lead writer for the localization stuff with Ace Attorney uses they/them pronouns.
