“Only [gender] will understand this” WRONG! Summon the brick I have a face to smash in

Oh by the way if you use they/them for someone who has explicitly told you not to, it's still misgendering even if you think you're being woke about it

[m4nsch]

happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

on this picture i drew Alexandr Andreevich Alexandrov - cavalry officer of the russian imperial army that participated in napoleonic wars. people persistently keep on misgendering mispronounsing deadnaming and calling him a crossdresser although alexandrov clearly stated that he didn't want to be called by his deadname and being treated like anything but a man. that's an interesting historical figure and i wanted to draw attention to his person. i can't tell everything about him in only one post so i recomend you to read about alexandrov by yourself

also be proud of yourself and remember that you're valid! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Tess is very very determined and nothing is going to stop her from doing what she wants.

I think before you're allowed to argue about whether trans people who can get pregnant are vulnerable to state-sanctioned violence in ways that trans people who can't get pregnant are exempt from (even if they are vulnerable to different forms of violence! they are still exempt from this one thing), you should be required to watch a vaginal delivery as well as a cesarean delivery. on video. full video. there are plenty of educational videos online where you can do so. if you have never seen a birth, I do not want to hear about how trivial of a violence you think it is. I really don't.

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

endlessly frustrating that whenever anyone is like 'i wish i could complain about X without people trying to give me unsolicited advice' swarms of people are always like 'clearly you have not heard *my* unsolicited advice!' and it's always like yes I have. Didn't help.

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

TW; talks of colorism/racism in fandom

okay I have a feeling this is gonna be controversial- and I am not attacking anybody- but I am asking y'all to consider that fanartists who make Binghe consistently the darker skinned character without investigating the undertones this has is in poor taste at best.

This is something I've seen a lot of black people on here talk about, and I want to give them credit (especially Creating Black Characters) for this obviously because they have been actively dealing with this form of bigotry and have a lot more experience with racism than me- but I've yet to see this applied to the SVSSS fandom, and it's making me kind uncomfortable.

To explain, having the dominant partner, who is in-text aggressive, be the (often one) character you headcanon as a deeper skin tone than the rest is all too common. It plays into a lot of nasty stereotypes. There are worse versions of it, and the idea this originated in this fandom, or it is the worst here is incorrect, but it does not mean it doesn't play into the stereotypes.

I do think there are ways to do it well, you can look at his half demon heritage as an allegory for racial hatred in our world. But that will say things about those who then hunt demons (like Liu Qingge). Hell, I think Tianlang Jun's storyline of being locked away for loving a cultivator, and how everyone assumes the worst of him for being a demon can play into this as well. But, just because this is written in a fantasy novel doesn't mean it doesn't have real world consequences.

I'm not saying you can't draw Binghe with darker skin- but maybe consider drawing other characters with dark skin too. And maybe think about how portraying the sexually aggressive and demonic character as the only one with dark skin reads.

And I love Luo Binghe's character. I think he's a great blorbo- but I also want SVSSS to be a safe fandom for everybody. I've had so much fun here, and I want my friends to be able to participate without feeling uncomfortable.

If anyone has anything to add please be respectful.
