I don't know much about Kendrick Lamar outside of his situation with Drake, but his participation in that is rather despicable, in my opinion.

If he's wrong about Drake being a sexual abuser, he's just flinging false accusations.

If he's right, he's profiting from CSA.

Imagine you know there are people who are being sexually abused right now, and instead of doing literally anything that could get them out of that situation, you're making entertainment media about it.

[sodomit]

@vergess tbh I also think Drake is innocent, but I want people who think he's not to understand that making a performance out of real CSA is still an act profiting from CSA and exploitation of victims.

On Reddit someone posted about how they got banned from a toon town fan game duo to the things they posted on ao3

They did not talk about their fics or advertise their ao3 on the game.

Either moderators/creators went to ao3 and looked up that person username for the soul purpose of finding something “incriminating” or someone else did that and reported them.

Genuinely how chronically online do you have to be to think it is normal to ban people for things they did not do in your game?

“We’re protecting children!” I’m sorry but what child would get the idea to look up a random persons username in ao3? You just don’t like when anyone does anything “icky” so you need to police what they do even if it is not on the website/game you run

I would understand banning someone if they where straight up telling people to go read their fics that had nsfw topics in game but that’s not what they did and it’s very concerning to me that they think they have any right to dictate what their players do outside of the game.

[monarchofhyperfixations]

Hi guys I was the guy who got banned lol

[phantasm-masquerade]

What are xenosatanists? I mean clearly form context they support child and animal rape but like what else is going on is that it or

Xenosatanism is an (often facetiously / 'ironically' held) ideology that is pro-contact (even unto supporting rape as such, as you say) and has a combination of left wing positions such as being pro para, pro transID and pro nudism, but also extremely conservative ones like being anti consent (as mentioned) and belief in tolerating all ideologies. It doesn't have anything to do with either theistic or atheistic Satanism.

there is no "distraction from the Epstein class" because there is no "Epstein class". or rather: the world is the Epstein class, and the persons in question are distinguished not by some exceptional depravity of desire but by their superlative means. they have the resources to realize, on dizzying scales, exactly the same patterns of exploitation that repeat fractally down to the enclosure of the family unit. acting as though this is a sectarian phenomenon on any level—political, financial, cultural, whatever—is itself the distraction from the violence of the family and the construction of the child. do you think this is a problem to be solved with swift prosecutions and moral vindication? do you think you can make this go away by punishing a handful of elites, leaving the fact that children are institutionally deprived of freedom intact, leaving us still in a world where children grow up made financially dependent on their families, forced to seek resources elsewhere when desperate? do you think Epstein et al. are monsters, and our duty is a grandiose quest to rid the world of monsters? but there are no monsters, only people, embedded in structures that make certain people more vulnerable and others less. this repeats everywhere, not just in the united states, not just in the west, not just for the rich, who are only special quantitatively, not qualitatively. do not be distracted by the phantom of an "Epstein class" that presents you with a convenient moral target. justice is not a boss battle.

[queeranarchism]

"The Epstein class"

simplifies capitalism to a group of people to hate, instead of a system that creates conditions in which some people can be very rich and very powerful and very terrible and it is this system against which we must organize to put power in the hands of the working class.

simplifies child abuse to a group of people to hate, instead of a system that leaves children of all classes in a vulnerable position where they can be easily exploited - most often by a parent or family member, and it is this system against which we must organize to put power in the hands of children.

[sodomit]

It's also an antisemitic phrase. Let's not forget that.

[sodomit]

I don't typically post this kind of stuff here, but something pissed me off, and I wanna get it to a wider audience.

"Contact stance abolition" is so fucking unserious. You can shift the focus from the meaning onto the label all you want, but you're not abolishing shit, even for yourself. Unless you're trying to imply you literally do not care if X action is sexual assault or no, and if members of your community are sexually assaulting other members or no. And if that is true, congrats, you're a xenosatanist.

Most "contact stance abolitionists" I came across were of an opinion that the question of adults/older people dating children and young adolescents should be resolved on a case by case basis, and that, however you personally wish to call it, is what has historically been called "pro contact". These users have personal interest in not being called pro contact, since that worsens their outreach outside of their community, so that's where the whole "contact stances are just so stupid and confusing and unnecessary" thing comes from.

And that just reminds me of "I'm not a terf, I'm just gender critical". You can opt out of the way the political stance is called, but until you actually change your views, you cannot opt out of what the stance means.

The myth of the harmless sysmed

There is a certain myth that has been propagated recently by syscourse neutrals and unaligneds, as well as some sysmeds themselves.

This is the myth of the good sysmed. The harmless anti-endo. See, this sysmed isn't like all the others. This sysmed isn't harassing endogenic systems. They just slap an anti-endo banner on their blog, and insist that endogenic systems not interact with them.

The core of this position is "bigotry is only harmful when that bigotry directly leads you to personally harassing people."

But respectfully, that's not how that works!

Bigotry is harmful because it's bigotry. Even in the absence of harassment.

Hatred and exclusionism towards endogenic systems is itself the problematic behavior.

The suggestion that endogenic systems should just accept and be comfortable with people spreading disinformation and hateful rhetoric about us just because they are better than the ones who are directly harassing us is incredibly insulting to endogenic systems!

Let's be clear here!

There is no such thing as an anti-endo who doesn't harm endogenic systems.

No, they might not directly harass us. But they do normalize the hatred against us. Simply putting anti-endo in your pinned helps to normalize and validate those that do hate us. Having us in your DNI helps to normalize exclusionism.

And not just from the traumagenic anti-endo systems either, but also from singlets. There is no shortage of stories of endogenic and mixed origin system who have been banned from Discord servers that are completely unrelated to system stuff, with singlet mods, because of hatred and bigotry spread by sysmeds.

Even if you only express your anti-endo views in private, you are still spreading them. You spread hate and disinformation towards endogenic systems to a friend, then they spread it to another friend, then that friend makes a TikTok about it, then that TikTok is viewed by a singlet who happens to run an autism server, and then they decide to ban endogenic systems because of the hate and disinformation they heard, leading to endogenic and mixed origin systems in that server losing their safe space because of this bigotry!

Every ounce of hatred and bigotry towards endogenic systems that is put into the world harms every single endogenic system!

Simply being a sysmed is inherently harmful to endogenic systems.

[phantasm-masquerade]

[Image ID: Tumblr tag reading "The concept of endos in real life scares me. What do you mean they walk among us."]

This is the kind of shit that people - people here, at least - would generally classify as bigotry if it were directed at some other group.

Do not be 'soft' on people who hate my and many of my friends' existence.

[sodomit]

Really strange to see people parrot "false rape accusations are extremely rare" when a couple of years ago the default transphobic joke was "okay groomer".

Do y'all realize that "rape accusation" isn't solely a case taken to court, but also any accusation of sexual assault thrown at another person, including by anonymous strangers online?

[sodomit]

"Hey, you really shouldn't be calling trans people sexual abusers unprompted" (referencing 33 cases it was done last week alone)

"Um did you know false rape accusations are extremely rare???"

[sodomit]

What is rare is that someone will put their own reputation at the stake and will attempt to falsely accuse another person under their own name in the eyes of their irl social circle.

What is not rare is that a blog with a meme url will screenshot a few dozen of posts out of context to label the op as a ready predator. The entire lolcow culture is built on that.

Stop invoking the first when people are clearly talking about the second, for fuck's sake.

[ponyblvd]

your site isn't an "accessibility tool" if it's anti-endo or something btw. your site is a tool for gatekeeping community spaces. stop complaining about how all the new sites are pro endo WHEN SIMPLY PLURAL WAS MADE BY AND FOR ENDOS. "ugh i hate endos coming into plural spaces!" you use terms made by endos, use apps made by endos, and complain about them being in spaces they cultivated. ACTUALLY shut the fuck up

[mereologic]

it is sorta funny when someone on here says "materialist" and then just kinda trails off while elaborating, because their entire worldview is exactly as grounded in ideals and aesthetics as the ones they criticize.

[self-loving-vampire]

Bizarrely common: People wading into trans discourse with the assumption that they can always tell what someone's gender is, adjacent to the idea that everyone within a given gender category is the same, including pre-transition trans people.

In particular I notice a very narrow and gender-conforming idea of what being a trans woman (including as an egg) is like.

[self-loving-vampire]

Seems really tricky to simultaneously want to be supportive towards even trans women while also holding complete hostility and disdain towards men.

For one you can't reliably tell if someone is a cis man or a closeted pre-transition trans woman unless they tell you. People in real life don't have a bio listing all of their identity categories, and even online not all trans women want to have that. You also need to understand that not all closeted trans women behave like stereotypical eggs. Some will appear to be completely normal cis men because that's safer in their daily lives.

Moreover there are also trans women who are bigender, agender, or some other flavor of nonbinary that find this whole model alienating and hostile. Sometimes the hostility also seems to extend to binary trans women who simply do not want to follow gender norms as well, or who simply do not agree with a more popular trans woman's takes.

This is not a hypothetical, I have had multiple people assume I'm actually an evil trans man over things like saying it's transphobic to call people "theyfabs".

Most importantly this requires sorting people by gender in a monolithic and non-overlapping way that doesn't work in practice and can even grow into unhealthy self-isolation ("everyone who isn't a trans woman is an untrustworthy enemy/a trans woman would not try to start a harassment campaign against you" and etc.)

[wicked-weaver]

At the end of the day, no matter how you phrase it, "cis men aren't oppressed for being cis men so trans men can't be oppressed for being trans men" is the single dumbest bit of theory ever written down

[a-crook-and-his-wealth-journey]

I swear, half the radqueer community are xenosatanists at this point. And every time they’re not a good amount of them are still pro c, like god damn.

[a-crook-and-his-wealth-journey]

I remember last my issue was that many anti contact adjacents kept using the complex contact label inaccurately and not the way the coiner intended. There was a good portion of users who did use the complex contact label right but now I feel like they’re all gone.

[a-crook-and-his-wealth-journey]

Quite a few of these xenosatanists call themselves republicans and are pro trump, so maybe they’re all just trolls

[a-crook-and-his-wealth-journey]

What happened in 2024, because I don't remember xenosatanists being republican. I remember the "consistent progressive" carrd had some resources from right wingers though.

[phantasm-masquerade]

The modern conveniences that both capitalists and pessimistic anti-capitalists claim are tied inextricably to the exploitation and suffering of the global south and of the working class, can, with the vast innovative power of humanity, be replicated ethically. Without the perverse incentives of capitalism and its associated imperialist movements, we may and will find new conveniences that we can today only dream of. Do not let the capitalists make a nihilist out of you.

[sodomit]

When ageism is so deeply ingrained into society that people under 18 can't leave their houses without the permission of their legal owners, I find it hard to believe that you are genuinely an ally of youth if your biggest concern is "uggghhh 17 year olds aren't childrennn they're adolescentssss you're using the wrong worddddd"

I have a youth liberation tag on my blog where I post my opinions beyond that one. The fuck do you mean "biggest concern"?

But it's not a small thing by itself, btw. The way adults online immediately zero in on the age and go "THIS IS A CHILD KID BABY FETUS" is not separate from the oppression of youth. Because they're using the word "child" to mean "inherently incompetent person who can only be harmed or saved by adults". Meanwhile I'm calling to use the word "child" as "prepubescent" and scrape off the stereotyping meanings that were put on it.

There's also a distinct type of a discourse opinion that's basically like "stop arguing with teenagers, they're all DUMB KIDS, who don't know what they're doing, just block them and keep them out until they GROW UP". Don't tell me you don't understand why that's harmful and how it sets them up for failure.

Adolescents aren't children, because "child" is a developmental stage. Both children and adolescents deserve to be treated with respect and not have their age used as a synonym of inadequacy and helplessness.

[genderkoolaid]

there's a reason "youth liberation" is youth and not child. all children are youth, but not all youth are children.

[ifvwasix]

I made a thing because I keep seeing people refer to other people they don’t know this way
