Tip: this struggle is often related to either a history of emotional abuse (i.e. a parent, authority figure, or other key person in someone's life would react angrily or with other disproportionate negative reactions to expression of disagreement or conflict) OR to a person exaggerating the degree to which others are upset with them (this exaggeration or overreaction is common in neurodivergent people, especially those of us like me who have a high sensory processing sensitivity which can have effects like making it feel like someone is raising their voice or even yelling when they are only trying to convey mild emphasis. And thus we wrongly conclude that they are more upset than they are.)

Processing your emotional trauma, and learning about differences in communication style across different types of neurodivergence including degrees of empathy and sensory processing sensitivity, can both make it easier to navigate this stuff and to learn how to comfortably accept conflict and handle it constructively instead of just running from it.

「お兄さんとひとつになる...」 “Becoming one with my brother…”

「そんな妄想が消えなくて…」 “That kind of fantasy just won’t go away…”

In Kaname’s Memory Arc, what begins as pure koi (恋) inevitably deepens into ai (愛).

"Its illegal to be straight during pride month!"

"If you think hateful thoughts about yourself, and you're queer, that's queerphobic, and it's illegal to be queerphobic during pride month!"

How about we not make straight queers* feel guilty and paranoid about being "not queer enough" during pride month? (*Aspec straights, trans & gender diverse straights, intersex straights, lesbihets, turihets, m-specs straights, polyamorous hets, nonrose hets, etc, etc, etc?)

How about we not make people with internalized queerphobia feel guilty for intrusive thoughts?

How about we stop making a billion posts encouraging moral OCD during pride month?

I’ve become a lot more death positive since becoming a nurse but it’s still hard saying goodbye to animals. It’s not even my animal but he was my friend. :(

1. Tell people you have persistent demand for autonomy (PDA, sometimes referred to as pathological demand avoidance) to help contextualize reactions in difficult conversations. Ask for reasonable accommodations while stressing you don’t expect perfection.

2. Have people use that as an excuse to basically frame you as difficult, thoughtless, and emotionally burdensome.

3. Damned if I don’t tell them, damned if I do. 🫠

Tokyo Mew Mew was the first Magical Girl Anime I ever watched. Needless to say it has a special place in my heart.

When you start saying shit like “We need to put every pedophile in concentration camps” any person in power can convince you that any demographic they want you to hate is a pedophile. You need to kill that shit at the source and stop caring about other people’s thoughts.

Generally speaking, people who have any kind of knowledge or literacy on the subject of child protection don't use the word "pedophile" at all. If we're talking about an actual offender, label the specific offenses they have committed.

If you're worried about preventing future hypothetical abuse, educate the kids in how to protect themselves. Encourage strong support networks. Tell them what is and isn't appropriate behaviour of adults and kids. Tell them they can say "no".

If you're worried about people becoming "pedophiles," then provide services where people who have inappropriate intrusive thoughts or unhealthy obsessions of any kind can seek help anonymously and without judgement and work through their issues.

But also bear in mind that the people with the aforementioned mental health issues are not necessarily the ones who sexually abuse kids, and many cases of sex offences against kids are not motivated by sexual attraction. Often, like many cases of abuse, it's an expression of power and dominance, or a desire to hurt, humiliate and shame the victim. If you want to stop those people, again, education is key. Teach children about bodily autonomy- their own and others'. Encourage respect for other people, so they grow up knowing they are not entitled to another person's body.

But funnily enough, the people who like to fearmonger about "PEDOPHILES!!!" tend to also be the people who want to keep their children sheltered and ignorant.

Weird, huh?
