Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
out of the tags with you
Starting a collection
me.
To give more context: The reviewer was Jean Lorrain, who also was gay. Both showed up to the duel and both missed on purpose.
gay people can never just ask each other out
hunting down Tumblr posts i see on Pinterest part 539
will be thinking about this probably for the rest of the week
Can't believe they accused him of Pagliarism :/
Babe wake up, new all time great image just dropped
"Kill your local sex offender!" Oh, you mean the guy who went streaking at his local college football game on a dare one time? That's a sex crime.
"No, I mean-"
Oh, maybe the woman who had to pee in a public park that only had pay toilets, so she tried to hide behind the bushes but got caught? Public urination is a sex crime.
"What? No, I mean-"
Oh, maybe you mean the homeless guy who had to strip down to get his clothes in the laundromat to clean them for the first time in weeks? He tried being subtle, but someone called the cops on him, and now he's on the sex offender registry for public nudity.
"Rapists and pedophiles! Kill rapists and pedophiles!"
Oh, like the trans woman who got called a pedophile groomer for helping a trans kid escape her abusive parents?
Or maybe the black man who got labeled a rapist because he came on to another man's wife, and he decided to get back at him by charging him with rape?
How about the 17 year olds who were fooling around, fully consensually, in one of their bedrooms? That's still technically underage sex and thus rape of a minor.
Oh, or maybe you're talking about the doctor who performed genital reconstructive surgery in a state that just voted to get that classified as rape?
People will do everything they can to get you convinced rape and pedophilia are the worst crimes possible, then accuse whoever they like the least of being either a rapist, a pedophile, or both, counting on you turning on them just for being accused of the crime.
"Oh, so you're saying you don't want to kill a serial rapist?"
That's exactly what I'm goddamn saying.
Once we decide a group is okay to kill, the government will do everything they can to convince you that their political enemies are either part of that group, or just as bad as that group, to get you to kill their enemies for them.
The only way out is to accept every life as worth saving.
@the-overanalyzer — #human rights don't disappear when someone does something despicable #I know that's an uncomfortable position to defend sometimes but you just have to suck it up
yeah!
you're allowed to FEEL like you want to kill rapists (esp your own if such a misfortune has befallen you). you're even allowed to WANT and WISH for their deaths. that's all normal natural and dare i say... healthy???
it's perfectly sensible to feel all that rage and bloodlust as we grieve the loss of our autonomy, even if it was brief, or if we grieve the fact that this happens to others, or the prevalence of this crime, etc. whatever the reason you want that person dead, you're certainly entitled to that mental state
all of those feelings are yours, and you are allowed to feel them as long as it takes you to feel them
BUT. that doesn't make those feelings justice. that doesn't make that rage and pain the right thing to base policy on. policy that crushes human rights is policy that crushes humans, both the ones you hate and the ones you love
It reminds me of the Sir Terry Prachett quote "If you did it for a good reason, you'd do it for a bad one. You couldn't say 'We're the good guys' and do bad-guy things."
a lot of people have a hard time with the fact that wanting something doesn't make it right to do it.
i've talked a lot on other posts about how i didn't tell anyone that i was being sexually abused for 14 years, because it was my father, and i loved him, and i didn't want to never see him again because he was in jail or worse for what he did to me. before he was an abuser, he was a victim; CSA was a generational trauma, much like the poverty he grew up in, and he never got the help he needed. this is tragic. i lost my dad far before he died. he developed schizophrenia, as many victims do; this, too, is a generational trauma throughout my family.
i have a friend who was a victim of CSA. he is a pedophile which is a word that refers only to sexual attraction to children, NOT acting on it. acting on it would be child sexual abuse, and he is not an abuser. he is a victim who was scarred by his experience, like my father was. but he got therapy. he decided never to have children, and never to be alone with children, because he never wants to cause the harm that was done to him. he engages in consensual kink with adult partners, that includes roleplay, as a healthy outlet.
when people say they want to kill pedophiles, they are talking about people like him, and that makes me not trust them. someone who knows their urges would do irreparable harm and actively chooses to keep others safe from that harm is more trustworthy, in my book, than someone who would kill them for thought crimes.
when i was a teenager, i was raped by a peer. victims of CSA are unfortunately highly likely to experience this. i was 16. he was 14. during the investigation, it was found that his single mother was sexually abusing him, just as my father was doing to me. he was a rapist. he was also a child, and a victim. my heart hurt for him. he regretted what he did. i've made my peace with it. it got him help out of a situation he otherwise could not escape.
when people say they want to kill all rapists, they are talking about people like him, and that makes me not trust them. rehabilitation was the goal for a 14 year old rapist who was being sexually abused; why is it not the goal for all rapists? why are people obsessed with finding people "bad enough" to justify murdering them?
sorry but to me, saying you want to kill an entire class of people, believing that should be policy, is repulsive. feel how you feel, but murder should never be policy, ever.

“Please tell me it’s not to go see Pagalici”
“God, no. I always think clowns give off big sex offender vibes, dont you? …I was going to say mindfulness”
