i think avoidance is such a little-recognized ocd compulsion. all the time i talk to people with ocd who are like "i was always having intrusive thoughts about using kitchen knives and harming myself or others but i'm okay now because i just stopped using knives ever 👍 so i'm good now"

and i'm like unfortunately i have bad news.

[wizardarchetypes]

if you don't know why this doesn't work, the issue is that ocd never stops when you implement a compulsion. it evolves. today you've "solved" it by never using a knife again (and losing access to an important cooking tool, thus limiting an aspect of your life) but in a few months or a year it'll be that forks are dangerous too. and hey, isn't it risky to use the stove? avoidance will even begin to manifest in places you might not recognize.

the point is that OCD compulsions are never solutions, they're actually the problems. the intrusive thoughts SEEM like the problem and the compulsions FEEL like the solution. and that's how it getsya.

not aromantic but I believe in their beliefs.

"there's no platonic explanation for this" try harder bucko

[kiwimintlime]

love is a beautiful wonderful multifaceted nebulous thing that shouldn't be reduced to the strict bounds of Tier One: Romance and Tier Two: Friends. get weird with it. love your friends deeply, wildly, passionately and platonically. cowards

Tumblr added a pride flag flourish for pride month that very specifically doesn't have trans colours. After months of undeniably transphobic moderation and randomly banning people. Happy fucking pride.

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

[tpwrtrmnky]

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

[iteh3xael]

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

[tpwrtrmnky]

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

[kasaron]

You cannot be impartial, by your nature as a living being that exists within a context, thereby your own analysis is more likely to be political, and indicative of your own bises, rather than to be illustrative of the biases or normalcies accepted by an author you're trying to analyse, by the very fact that you have the hubris to actively assume, even by some means of deduction, the internal framwork of a person far removed from yourself in peerage and socioeconomics.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Case in point, your analysis of this post starts from an assumption that analysis will be performed by someone operating under the presumption of their own impartiality, and from that assumption it spins a narrative that the analysis exercise must always end up as a reflection of the one doing the analysis projecting their own biases onto the text.

Sounds like a skill issue ngl

[kasaron]

I made no assumption of your presumption of impartiality, I merely denied it's existence outright.

I'd argue that the excercise you're assuming to engage in is functionally nothing more than intellectual onanism.

Which, hey, however it is you massage your brain is up to you, but when others find it distasteful that you're doing so in public, it would be wise, in my opinion, to avoid surprise, feigned or otherwise.

[tpwrtrmnky]

You denied something nobody was claiming, and now you're comparing a trans woman saying "I think analyzing media is fun" to masturbating in public. Subtle, bye now.

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”
