uterine functions are stigmatized and legislated over because their owners are coercively assigned female at birth, thus presumed to be women, and the patriarchy hates women. not the other way around. women’s oppression did not arise out of some “biological disadvantage” it rose because men wanted to seize total power over their societies and instituted the sexgender system after they’d already chosen to oppress all women as a justification after the fact. the sexgender system is not functionally different from race in that respect. they are both social constructs designed to justify the supremacy of one group at the expense of the other. they are not rational reasons for the oppression to have existed in the first place. oppressive structures are built on a foundation of desired supremacy, not facts.

if men were the ones presumed to have uteruses, abortions would be over the counter. whatever happened to feminists saying that and being right about it. oh yeah the rise of transmisogyny how could i forget

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

#the best route is clearly to get really into a specific kink scenario and invent a world to justify it (via @salix03)

That's not even a joke. Developing a kink scenario so elaborate and so excruciatingly particular that it can only properly be contemplated in the frame of a world created specifically to contain it is genuinely closer to Tolkien's actual creative process than 99% of the stuff that plays at being heir to his legacy.

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

I swear this is how I feel every time I see a Tumblr screenshot out in the wild

I do have one "hear me out" I think the majority of tumblr would be repulsed by. It's kind of cheating though. It's not sincere and it feels like I would be breaking some kind of social contract. But it would work, I have no doubt about that

Okay at this point I'm mildly astonished by the number of tumblr users who do not recognize Taylor Swift

Was going through the fallout wiki and I love how they don’t even try to explain or make sense of the Fallout TV show forcibly inserting itself into canon. I was looking at the wiki entry for Frederick Sinclair, a guy who, in both Dead Money and Old World Blues, is repeatedly confirmed to just be a client of the Big MT. The show makes him Big MT’s rep. This is what the wiki says about it:
