we seriously need to bring back the concept of “despite its flaws i still enjoy it” instead of ‘cancelling’ every fuckin thing in sight 

[zoewashburne]

#we need to trust that just because someone loves a thing it doesn’t mean they don’t know it’s flawed

[cosmiagramma]

We also need to stop insisting that everyone enjoying flawed things must put 25 cents in the Problematic Jar and recite all its failings from memory.

[virtualcarrot]

If I just may add: we really need to stop pretending that “I’m a Good person, ergo the thing I like is PERFECT and if you criticize it you’re an ENEMY”. You can enjoy stuff AND keep your sense of critical thinking.

yeah having rsd sucks and people say shit that shouldnt hurt my feelings but does anyway all the dang time but an important thing that i had to learn was that just because someone hurt my feelings doesn't mean they meant to or even know that they had the ability to hurt my feelings, and i really need to evaluate a situation before my rsd causes me to hold an unnecessary grudge. yes its not unreasonable to ask the people i spend time with to be considerate of my adhd + rsd but i shouldn't be making others feel bad just because my brain always wants to interpret everything as negative, and a certain degree of self awareness is a great thing for both parties.

[clowniconography]

i say all this because the infantilization of autistic people is a very big topic on tumblr but the infantilization of people with adhd isn't so much even tho it definitely happens. when i see posts basically encouraging non-adhd people to tiptoe around the feelings of adhd people im like......okay, rsd's a bitch. it's one of my biggest symptoms and it honestly makes a lot of things (school, relationships, work, etc.) a lot harder for me (spoiler alert, stuff like that's what makes adhd a disability). but also, i am a writer and an artist. i literally cant progress past a certain point without learning how to accept constructive criticism, and just generally getting used to the fact that sometimes the things i make will be genuinely bad. so yeah, it sucks, and yeah overcoming it takes exponentially more work than it would for a nt person, but the answer isn't just to expect the people around you to make an effort without also making an effort yourself

“I would have never snitched on Anne Frank! Anyway, here’s a person I’m related to at the capitol!”

[ndiecity-deactivated20241101]

Hey I don't know if you know this but snitching on someone for storming the capitol with intent to kill someone is not the same as snitching on someone for the crime of... *checks notes* being a jewish child

[homunculus-argument]

You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?

“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?

“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.

 You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.

[thegrimzuera]

“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”

Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.

[slowspinningredemption]

related: reminds me of all the bullshit about “how well can [safety measure] ACTUALLY work? injuries have shot up since [measure] was introduced!” bike helmets and seatbelts are often cited with this attitude.

yes. because people are now surviving. there were no injuries before because everyone was dead.

sir

sir, you do not belong there

[cipheramnesia]

he has a permit, leave him alone

[anais-ninja-bitch]

he does, in fact, not have a permit to be in the cat food pantry. i know this bc i issue those permits, and i have issued no such permit to this particular gentleman. if he might be so called.

[cipheramnesia]

i promise you he filed the paperwork with my office and he is just waiting for it in the mail

[anais-ninja-bitch]

how did you get authority to give my cats cat crime permits?

[cipheramnesia]

This woman assured me I am authorized:

[anais-ninja-bitch]

my friend, this is a very common scam. this woman is well known to authorities for cat crimes, especially fraud.

[cipheramnesia]

that's what I thought ma'am but her lawyer assured me she was legitimate:

[anais-ninja-bitch]

so trustworthy in appearance, and yet so duplicitous! you are the victim of a worldclass bamboozle! please, consult your insurance policy. you should have some financial coverage, but i am afraid your reputation may never recover.

[cipheramnesia]

what reputation

[anais-ninja-bitch]

fair enough. as you were.

[deanoru]

I’m so tired of every show that takes place in the past (wild west, medieval, pirates etc) ALWAYS having so much sexual violence towards women like writers can cry “oh it’s realism” all you want but it’s very transparent how realism only applies when you want to hurt women on screen. If we’re talking staying realistic, why doesn’t everyone have brown teeth? Or bad skin? Or dying of dysentery? Just admit y'all want an excuse to brutalize women on screen lol

[squidsticks]

This pisses me off so much. A lot of the time if you mention realism would also involve women having unshaved legs or pits, or bushy eyebrows, or syphilis, the answer is often “well that’s gross, no one wants to read about/see that” and like…. If you think that women being ugly is grotesque, but brutal depictions of rape aren’t, then I don’t really know what to say to you other than stay the fuck away from me.

[rave-lord-nito]

To add to this: The pirate captains had personal codes (rules) about what was allowed on the ship, and some of them were very clear on the subject of sexual violence

“ IX. If at any time you meet with a prudent Woman, that Man that offers to meddle with her, without her Consent, shall suffer present Death. “ -From the code of Captain John Phillips

“ 9th: If any p[er]son or p[er]sons shall go on board of a Prize and meet with any Gentlewoman or Lady of Honour and should force them against their will to lie with them shall suffer death. “ -From the code of the company of Thomas Anstis

Or in other words, sexual violence against women was recognised as a crime punishable by death on actual pirate ships, don’t let anybody tell you it’s necessary for “realism” when the pirates themselves recognised how absolutely despicable it was.

I will always reblog

[kabaks]

twitter check marks being like “we’re all to blame for the smear campaign against britney spears uwu” ok i was busy being a child lol

[can0n-fodder]

Social media barely existed then, all these celebrities can fuck off with their “we’re all guilty”. WE the peasants did not cause Britney Spears to lose her adult autonomy with our shitty myspace pages and Yahoo Groups. The people with fame and talk show access did that.

[googledocsdyke]

in 2015 i asked my best friend what fic she wanted me to write for her birthday and she said nonbinary bucky barnes fic and i was like ok sure but i was really worried about getting it right as a cis woman ally so i wrote a really long disclaimer and got a comment telling me i was problematic for focusing on dysphoria and i was like omg i'm so sorry i'll rewrite it i know this is a complex intracommunity issue :( and then like six months later i came out to my friend as nonbinary and she was the first person i ever told and she was like "yeah i know that's why i made you write the nonbinary bucky barnes fic"

casual sex is fine having multiple partners is fine hookups are fine being friends w benefits with someone is fine. stop talking like televangelists.

[lamachetera]

They really aren’t at all and we need to stop normalizing this.

[leninthesixth]

this is the funniest comment i got on this post. im normalizing sex what are you gonna do about it

[lamachetera]

We can normalize sex in loving and reciprocal relationships rather than normalizing the fear of deep emotional intimacy and settling for shallow interactions.

[blueberrygoth-deactivated202410]

we can normalize getting hole and not acting like a puritan. i have normalized taking your mom to pound town
