Optional Opinion

[who-is-this-weirdo]

So ... nobody is gonna ever talk about the fact Viv basically stole a lot of the fandom's ideas and designs ? Cause like, how many theories and fan designs ended up in the show ? It's now too many for the fans to just be good and finding out things. Alastor's human design apparently leaked and, like, first of all he looks great yes (and it makes his demon design look worse in comparaison) but also ... it's litteraly the same design as a lot of human Alastor fanarts soooo ... that's not suspicious at all /s

"trans men can't use tranny, that's a slur for trans women!" "trans men can't use t4t because it was originally meant for trans lesbians!" you sound like a chronically online 14 year old 'queer activist' tiktoker who thinks that bigotry always stays on target and that queerness can be neatly put into boxes

Swinging a bat at a hornet’s nest here, but Hazbin Hotel is Gen Z’s Harry Potter.

Both are made by pretty despicable women who claim to focus on women’s narratives, despite their own works pushing women to the side

Takes a pretty interesting and fantastical concept and waters it down so much its tasteless

Racism, transphobia, antisemitism abound

Just plain bad writing

Fans are fucking rabid over them and far too willing to buy their shit despite how horrible both JKR and Vivzie are

a lot of you take terf arguments but then just replace the identity with transmasc/lesboy/theyfab/etc. and you're not fucking slick about it.

I think one of the reasons drag kings aren’t as popular as drag queens, aside from the fact that straight women don’t like us, is that people are uncomfortable acknowledging masculinity as a performance. Like we as a society know that femininity is a performance, with its own costumes and rules. Masculinity is also a performance, and nothing makes that more clear than someone making an exaggeration of it

Not gonna show this person’s url but my god I’m so sorry that you’ve clearly only been to one drag king show in your life

I could easily say that most drag queens are just the same type of boring gowns and big hair and big tits doing the same boring top 40 pop numbers. It’s not true though, that just happens to be the type of queen that straight girls like the most and ergo gets the most mainstream rep

Never mind that not all kings are women (many kings are non-binary or transmasc), but idk how you could look at the plethora of cool and interesting drag kings online and in the world at large and decide that they don’t count because you haven’t personally seen them enough

Moreover, looks are truly only half the battle in drag imo. When it comes to performance, you’ve got a wonderful range of kings who can do dance, music, comedy, performance art, political commentary, and pretty much anything else you can imagine

Trust me, 99% of the time kings have to work extra hard at performing to “prove” we belong in drag spaces, and we can rarely get away with just putting on a suit.

Your experiences are not universal. And they confuse me. I mean, take Landon Cider, one of the most famous drag kings and the first king to win the drag competition show Dragula.

Ah yes, how boring! (Sarcasm)

we do not "love" to bring this up. it is traumatic. it is dysphoria inducing. it is capable of taking the lives of trans men/mascs that are forced to bring a child into this world against their will. stop fucking invalidating our trauma and oppression you absolute fucking transphobic asshole.

no one is fucking saying this is a privilege for trans women/fems. you are making up arguments in your head because you cannot handle the fact that you are being so disgustingly transphobic toward us so you have to pretend we are saying shit that was never said.

i will not be fucking silent about this. no trans men/mascs should be forced into silence when bringing up our very real systemic oppression. if it bothers you, then look inward.

[luxiomahariel]

if you call trans men/mascs "hysterical" when we discuss the oppression or bigotry that theyve faced, then youre a massive fucking transphobe.

do not fucking use that word against us.

[bugthing]

trans guys: hey! this awful violating thing can and has happened to us and we need to be more aware of it as things get worse for trans ppl everywhere

the stupidest people alive: but have you considered it makes me personally feel bad when you talk about it? and actually youre a bigot for even bringing it up in the first place because what about the people that cant have that happen to them but have other similar things happen? honestly i think you just hate trans women and cant stand when things arent about you

[greml1nb0i]

Girl if you dont log tf off istg

You care so much, but yet you defend Raph and lie about him being an SA victim just to save your own skin.

You disregard SA victims, who are uncomfortable with the depictions of rape and abuse being downright glorified.

You lied and called Ken and Ashely creeps

STFU honestly, you're embarrassing yourself

TRANS, NONBINARY, AND INTERSEX PEOPLE OF COLOR DO NOT FUCKING HAVE PRIVILEGE OVER WHITE ANYONE ARE YOU FUCKING FOR REAL????????????

OP can just say "I don't think men can be abused" and leave it at that.

Seriously, if you guys were really serious about male abuse victims then you would downplay the shit that Stolas did to Blitzo instead of invoking the ignorance card bs.

[wolfertinger666]

people, especially in American society are way too comfortable telling marginalized people who also happen to be disabled that they are essentially useless because they cannot hold a "real job" especially if they get their funds from online communities.

if anything I think it's a blessing that me and my queer and disabled friends get crowdfunding online through the community because not only is it hard to get a job with a marginalized status especially in trump America but like, being disabled does the disabling.

[wolfertinger666]

sorry to say this but I think disabled people especially ones who can't function enough to work a real job deserve to live and have autonomy too.

not every disabled person you see has the ability to work past their own disabilities, mental or physical, and arguing against that is inherently ableist no matter what.

[hellish-undeath]

not disputing anything you've said but adding on; disabled people deserve to have our base needs met AND to have enough to have fun, buy non-essential goods, and have savings. so much of the rhetoric from able bodied people towards disabled people is how to give us the exact minimum, to the minimum amount of "actually disabled" people. most disabled people supported by the system are below poverty level nation-wide, and many get taken off the systems supporting them if they can be accused in any way of faking some or all of their disability. a recent case i can recall off the top of my head was a man getting taken off social security because private investigators saw him go outside and put his trash in the trash can without asking for help (when he usually needs help). all of his income and healthcare gone in an instant to save the government a buck, based on the idea that he's an able-bodied faker. which itself is a concept able bodied people need to drop, like, yesterday. and tangentially, disabled people should be allowed to do things that are usually outside our ranges of ability, or things that will worsen our conditions, even if it's exclusively for fun. a disabled person should be able to go with their friends to the mall, go to an amusement park and ride a few rides that they can manage, or go on hikes without the government being able to hold the threat of employment or death over their shoulders.

How the DSMP became a devastating reality

yo, do you guys ever think about just how reflective that the events of the DreamSMP were of reality?? hear me out here:

• Wilbur sets off something innovative and quite literally revolutionary. In the end, he isn't quite as noble as he seems. the worst parts of him seep through the cracks and his image shatters, cutting himself and everyone around him.

• Tubbo eventually refuses to play the pawn, splitting off to purse the things he is truly passionate about

• Technoblade—always leagues ahead of everyone else, clearly on another level (oh gosh, i'm tearing up here)

• Dream's identity confuses everyone—is he good? is he bad? who is he? Has an alarming obsession with Tommy, and a sever case of main character syndrome

• Tommy—the main character in the end. slowly loosing the flamboyance and fire that once characterized him. always drawing the short straw. always left to pick up the broken pieces.

[optionalopinion]

Tommy was only ever the main character in the end because Wilbur pushed him to be and the fans ate that up, and he was only one of two people to give their characters an ending after dsmp ended- and only one where he isnt dead in their respective ending.

In truth he isn't, not anymore than anyone else.

[weirdgirl247]

btw tubbo was saying on stream there is a chance of his fight w sapnap not happening depending on whether or not they can both meet the weight requirement (147lbs) which tubbo said they’re both decently far off from in both directions. so if in like a few months someone gets swapped out or the fight is canned that probably is why !

[cloverstellar]

this photo has been killing me he looks like he’s gonna take tubbos lunch money

if you have "cishet men dni" in your bio i, a trans man, will not touch you with a 10 foot pole. i should not be forced to out myself as a trans man just to interact with you. on top of that, cishet men are not inherently evil. stop trying to reinvent bioessentialism with your "girl good, boy bad!" mentality.
