Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere
So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.
So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)
From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.
Fastest block I've ever made because holy shit
this is exorsexism
[image id: a answer post split into two screenshots.
Image one: ask “i promise im asking this in good faith but whats your issue with terms like transneutral?” Answer “because they're nonsensical and show a grave misunderstanding about what transfem and transmasc mean. they're not identity labels indicating your gender, they're indicators of the relationship between your assigned gender and the world around you. they help describe various sociopolitical implications of your transness, such as privileges and lack thereof, experiences, how you're likely to be treated within society, etc. these vary greatly depending on whether ur transfem or transmasc, so much of their use comes in the comparison of the two, such as describing privileges that transmascs have over transfems. every trans person is either transfem or transmasc, because every person was either assigned male or female. i am a neutral-gendered person, but i am transmasculine, not "transneutral". transfem isn't reserved for trans women, and transmasc isn't reserved for trans men; the terms would be completely redundant if that were the case. "transneutral" tells us nothing about anything that your actual identity label (nonbinary, agender, etc) doesn't.”
Image two: answer, continued “i do understand that the naming of the terms can feel bad or misgendering, but that's honestly a personal gripe. if they had different names would be great, but the words are not the important part, it's the usage and meaning of them. another issue i know people have with them is that, for nonbinary people specifically, they reveal your assigned gender. now, i would love to live in a world where it doesn't matter, or where we just aren't assigned anything, or where there isn't a huge difference in the way people, trans or otherwise, are treated based on their assigned gender. but unfortunately we do, and until then, they remain useful terms, especially regarding relationships and interactions within the trans community. (now, all of this is specifically about when transneutral/transneuter/etc are used in the same way as transfeminine or transmasculine. i obviously have no issue if they're being used in the same way as trans woman or trans man (though i would recommend adding a space between the words). but the post anon is referring to is about the former so)”

all those words to say "there's only two genders" like any transphobic conservative would say.
Do you believe every single person who can speak has an accent, even when they're speaking their own native language?
Yes, I believe that
No, I don't believe that

"can mutuals dm" "can mutuals ask for your discord" girl, mutuals have an implied invitation to my wedding
Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.
Tumblr already has a personalization algorithm it's called my beloved mutuals who have great taste and only wish to psychologically damage me sometimes
being weird and full of love can save you
and it might save those around you, too

Moreover, overpopulation is an ecofascist myth specifically scapegoating ‘developing’ nations in the global south for climate disaster.
In reality, populations only rise so sharply as people begin to receive better access to healthcare and maternal and infant mortality in particular decrease. Eventually, as healthcare access is more evenly distributed through a population and people on a larger scale are able to access family planning care, the population stops increasing and levels out and decreases.
Which is why so-called ‘developed’ are all now manufacturing a crisis about population decline and not having enough bodies to fill out the labor force while simultaneously fearmongering about overpopulation in racialized groups. It’s eugenics shit.
This video is almost 10 years old and is so good at educating against ecofascist ideas of overpopulation. Makes me angry 10 years later we're still dealing with eugenics
I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND I LOST IT FOR AGES AND NOW I FOUND IT
Everybody go watch Hans Rosling destroy ecofascism thank u
you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.
I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
Whatever the Prime Minister Ate, We Ate
Growing up in Tucker Bottom, Montego Bay, I wasn't allowed to play with most of the children in my neighborhood.
That sounds dramatic, but it wasn't because the neighborhood was dangerous. It wasn't because the children were mean. It wasn't because my grandmother worried about bad influences.
It was because she had rules.
Some children were off limits because they weren't related to us. Others were off limits because of disagreements between adults. The result was the same either way.
There were children everywhere.
I just wasn't allowed to play with many of them.
One of those families belonged to a woman I'll call Inez.
To understand why, you first have to understand my grandmother.
According to Grandma, when she and my grandfather first moved to Tucker Bottom, they lived well. My grandfather worked at one of the tourist hotels, and somehow our household always seemed to have good food. Eggs. Meat. Things that were not always guaranteed luxuries in the neighborhood.
Grandma used to say that whatever the Prime Minister ate, we ate.
Whether that was literally true or not didn't matter. The point was that she was proud. In her mind, her family lacked for nothing.
She was also generous.
One of the people she helped was Inez.
From what I was told, Grandma regularly shared food with her family. Then one day she discovered that Inez had fed some of the eggs she had been given to her dog.
That was it.
Diplomatic relations collapsed.
To this day, I don't know whether the dog received one egg, two eggs, or an entire breakfast buffet. What I do know is that the incident became part of family history.
Grandma viewed it as disrespect.
She had given food to help a family, and in her mind that food had been wasted.
Inez may have had her own version of events. I never heard it.
What I heard was Grandma's version.
And in our house, Grandma's version was the official version.
The interesting thing about childhood is that you inherit conflicts before you inherit context.
I didn't know Inez.
I didn't witness the egg incident.
I wasn't alive when the argument happened.
But I inherited the consequences anyway.
Her children lived nearby.
I wasn't allowed to play with them.
The logic seemed perfectly normal to the adults.
Grandma didn't like Inez.
Therefore, we didn't like Inez.
Therefore, we didn't associate with Inez's children.
Case closed.
Children rarely get a vote in these matters.
Looking back, I find it funny how often adults expect children to carry emotional luggage they never packed.
I wasn't allowed to build my own opinion of Inez.
I wasn't allowed to decide whether her children were nice.
I inherited a feud the way some people inherit furniture.
It was simply handed down.
As a child, I accepted it because children accept all sorts of strange rules.
As an adult, I laugh at the absurdity of it.
Imagine being banned from an entire family because of an egg-related disagreement that occurred years before your birth.
Yet at the time, it was completely normal.
That was how loyalty worked.
That was how family worked.
That was how neighborhoods worked.
When Grandma didn't like someone, neither did the rest of us.
The funny part is that I barely remember Inez.
What I remember is standing on the outside looking in.
I remember seeing children my age and understanding that some invisible adult decision had already been made.
They were close enough to see.
Close enough to hear.
Close enough to become friends.
But not close enough to cross the border drawn by a disagreement that wasn't mine.
The Inez family wasn't the only family on that list.
There were others.
By the time all the rules, grudges, and restrictions were added together, my world became surprisingly small.
People often assume loneliness means being physically alone.
I wasn't physically alone.
I lived in a neighborhood full of people.
I went to school with children my age.
I had cousins.
What I lacked was freedom.
Freedom to walk across the yard.
Freedom to knock on a door.
Freedom to decide for myself who my friends would be.
All these years later, I still think about how strange that is.
The eggs are funny.
The feud is funny.
But the loneliness wasn't.

being a teenager is basically just half a decade of "ugh I hate myself I hate my life I hate my parents nothing is fair everyone is mean the world is cruel I'm tired of it!! but idk i guess every teenager has this phase and I'll probably grow out of it and understand when I'm older" and getting older and realizing you should have been even angrier and more violent. And then people forget this as soon as they have kids
does anyone else live in verona or is it just the two gentlemen & the two households both alike in dignity
Local restaurant having trouble with whores apparently.
