I love characters who just make their lives worse

REASONS TO NOT END IT:

"ao3 exists. that sounds stupid, but i’m being dead serious. it is a constant reminder that people love stuff enough to create for one another with compensation. that is an act of love that is shared with all, bonded by adoration of story. in a weird way, it is one of the purest forms of art in the world."

every time i comment on an ao3 fic i'm pretty sure it's incomprehensible gibberish. but if i can bring joy to one (1) author's day or make even just one author feel inspired, i am happy.

"sex should be less stigmatized and talked about more" and "you should always make sure people who dont want to consume sexual media that you present dont have to see it" are two statements that can and should coexist. by the way.

Yeah, it's time to get this post out again

[ritzcuit]

no more "its just fandom discourse lol i cant care about this bc i have a real job" type comments. or you can still make them i guess but i just dont think accusing people of sex crimes over anime pngs is a good thing to brush off as "just fandom discourse"

[ritzcuit]

you should generally be opposed to people slinging accusations of sex crimes at each other over pngs. i think. i think it's overall a good thing to not be okay with that. i dont think that devalues your place as a cog in the machine. i have a job and i care about this

Pride Month may almost be over, which can be saddening, but please remember that July is Disability Pride!! It matters just as much and deserves more acknowledgement than it gets.

Disabled people deserve the same love and care that everybody else does. You are important and awesome. You deserve a good life and plenty of accessibility (which I'd love to see more of.)

Fuck ableism and happy (slightly early) Disability Pride Month !! 💚🤟

My blog is open to interactions from all. This isn't a safe space for anyone who targets radqueers and ex radqueers.

The fact most "antis" only focus on transIDs when they're attacking radqueers is so frustrating to me. For most people (and especially ones that don't fit the social norms) radqueer community is the last option after being ostracized and shamed everywhere they go. There are real and active problems in the community and all "antis" do is talk about whether transabled kids are a danger to society or not.

The problem with radqueer ideology isn't supporting transIDs (though, it's up to debate for many whether they can be harmful or not but this post is about more serious issues, bear with me), it's not the paraphilia acceptance, and it's definitely not the anti-censorship. The actual problems in the radqueer community are the lack of proper risk informed kink education (yes, even if it's conabuse dynamic), lack of action against abusers and the overall "don't like don't look" mindset being applied to real people that hold & spread actually harmful beliefs in a community filled with young people being drawn to all this new information. Don't scroll by yet, let me explain.

This is coming from someone who used to be a popular blog and an influential personality in the community, someone who lived through this, not an outsider. What I figured out is that there were barely any actual activism outside of people liking Tumblr posts, and the whole "accept Everyone no matter what they believe in" mentality there makes people think it's never okay to criticize other's beliefs and thoughts. So little people actually call out harmful beliefs. Yes, accepting people you don't agree with is good but without educating them on harms of these ideals and stopping them from spreading their beliefs (example: people who believe animals can consent) that community can easily turn, and did turn into a hunting ground for malicious people. Actual predators found it an easy ground to lurk in, pretending they're part of the community because where else would they go if not the community where every stance is accepted? Along with the whole "you can always lie about your age" and "only you know if you can consent or not" misconceptions/encouragements being allowed, and even supported by many, makes it a very dangerous space to be in. Especially for a chrono teen, which is majority of the community.

So yeah no, transID isn't the problem. I use countless transIDs and I'm healthy, happy and thriving. I don't hangout in radqueer spaces anymore and I'm no longer facing harrassment from antis despite me being open about my identities. I learned a lot after leaving the radqueer community and I learned that there is a world out there that WILL happily accept me as who I am. I now know how consent really works and what kind of people I should avoid to reduce potential harm.

My transIDs and paraphilias didn't hurt me, what hurt me was the ideology that blindly accepted people with harmful beliefs and turned everything into a popularity contest or harrassment campaign rather than listening to those who want to call out these people. What hurt me was antis sending me death threats for what labels I use for my identity. And I don't blame most of the people there. Once you're stuck in an echo chamber, it's easy to believe you're forming your own opinions when you're just repeating what everyone else is repeating (and sometimes calling you a fake rad for disagreeing). I know because I was there and I was very supportive of the pro-cs as a teen, without really questioning why I support them or why they should be part of the community. I know how much of a slippery slope "acceptance for all" can be if you refuse to call out harmful beliefs being spread in your community.
