Hello there!

We go by Crows/乌鸦 online! We're a system who uses we and I interchangebly sorry if this gets confusing.

I don't reblog directly much most times I queue bc we get depressed sometimes and if we don't queue there would be no posts hehe. But we do reblog every now and again.

This blog is MDNI for my comfort and yours. Also bigots fuck off and die. And if any of these things I may post about or reblog bother you probably shouldn't follow me.

Age-gap ships

Hard Kinks

Dark Kinks

Mental illness talk

Okay, fine, I'll say it. I'll speak my mind. Meow meow meow meow meow.

anon hater just accused me of (among other things) "encouraging kids to install malware on their parents' computers". I don't remember ever doing that but it sounded like a fun concept for a post so here are some ideas for things to install on your parents' computers!

a custom DNS resolver that blocks access to Fox News and other right-wing propaganda outlets

a keylogger to capture the admin password for your router so you can disable parental controls

a VPN or a virtual machine running the Tor browser to bypass access restrictions and age verification checks

your own "parental controls" browser extension, set up to send you notifications if your parents visit websites that indicate they might be spying on you (e.g. Life360)

a userscript that adds a fake virus warning popup to the donation pages of fascist political parties

have fun! make sure to do loads of reading and learn how things work so you can break them safely and effectively!

oh, and anon, my advice to you is never stab a man who collects knives

[abidingphantom]

I too advocate training children how to break police-state tooling. Excellent ideas!

Might I add a small note to the suggestion of your own "parental controls?" In addition to alerting you of services designed to spy and remove autonomy of choice, also include sites or categories which your guardians restrict your access to. Log them, and keep timestamps and counts. You now have evidence of hypocrisy!

Alongside building resistance to overreaching authority (which is unfortunately very necessary in this day and age), you will be growing your skills in fact checking and character testing!

Side Node: I do advocate parental controls for children who may stumble, unknowingly, into things online which they aren't ready for. If a child can figure out how to bypass controls, they are both ready and capable of making their own choices. Parents should be protecting their children, not imprisoning them.

Similarly, if a child wants access to something and comes to their guardians asking to have it removed from the blacklist, the guardian should be prepared to be convinced of their readiness and allow them access (ongoing discussions of ramifications, potential trauma, etc should be held regarding sensitive subjects, but said subjects shouldn't be outright "disallowed").

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

[sazandorable]

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

bring the healthy fun back to fandom!

[thorst]

Co-signing all of this. Bring back the ancient texts

Also I saw someone saying they’d never use squick because it’s such a silly, made-up sounding word and I thought that this has been part of the problem. Fandom itself isn’t silly; it can be deeply meaningful (it has been to me!) however things can be deeply meaningful and silly. We (society) have got to stop acting like being childish is the worst thing you can do. Embrace silly whimsy.

Saying “this squicks me” is useful maybe because it’s a bit silly. It imparts no judgement. It’s like “this is about me” And importantly it doesn’t water down other terms which have important clinical implications that I don’t think I need to name

Frankly, I think companies presenting basic health and consumer safety information as "boring," "uncool," and "not worth your care" should carry a hefty fine based on the revenue that company generates

imagining a world like this is the first step in making it real. i want to see a world like this become real in my lifetime because tgirls deserve to be girls when they are young.

i would like if something horrible and invasive was happening to him and his boundaries were violated and he was uncomfortable and scared

[raichett]

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
