and like really the thing is just that, like any other form of abstinence-only education (whether it be abstinence from sex altogether or from unprotected or other higher-risk sex), treating STIs as a moral failing and/or a horror story is directly counter to the best possible measure against widespread unchecked infection, which is regular testing. getting tested and knowing your partners' stasuses is the #1 thing that can allow you to treat infections when they happen, make informed decisions about the sex you're having, access prep and pep when relevant etc. and frankly that testing does not happen in a social environment where a positive is treated as the end of the world, because stupid or not, many people will respond to said environment by avoiding testing altogether so that they don't have to reckon with the possibility

my bold new leftist proposal: we should keep Criminals, Degenrates, and the Impaired out of politics, and should spend more effort defending the Sanctity of Marriage

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

imagine if you couldn't buy video games anymore because one corporation spent the past several years becoming a monopoly on the home video game market and they fumbled it so bad that everyone in america collectively agreed to go back to playing arcade games instead. if you think this sounds like it would be literally 1984. you'd be correct

“come, let us march against the powers of heaven, and set black streamers in the firmament to signify the slaughter of the gods” is such a raw line you’d think it’s from Shakespeare, but it’s actually from the slightly earlier Elizabethan dramatist Christopher Marlowe
