not fair that the sport with the men with the fattest asses baseball is so boring
oil wells drained of fluids underneath stand black gold druids the dragon turns his gaze above releases his breath a flaming dove
james and the giant pronoun
Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
BURN BAGEL BURN
OH WHY NOT?
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
Bagel what are your powers
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!
Let’s hear it
Let’s see
Ok. I’ll give it a shot.
Ugh… well here It goes I guess.
Pleeeeease Bagel!
Bagel please
I have no clue what the bagel will do for me but please and thank you.
Please bagel I need to know what your wisdom is
Please
please bagel
imnot reposting this for good news i just like the bagel
get buggyd
how do i tell tumblr i want to see more old fat men
i think its strange that some people use the term "purity culture" or "purity police" to describe people who are against proshipping or propara. when i say i am against proshipping and propara movements, i dont think its impure or unnatural, i think its unhealthy and damaging.
i dont think people who are afflicted by paraphilias are bad people, unless they act on it. but actively acknowledging a problem and not doing anything about it, or in some cases worsening it, only increases the likelihood that they will act on it
enabling this behavior is equally harmful as participating in it, but i understand that in some cases theres no malicious intent.
i do not think you are a bad person. i just think you are wrong.
Hey there friend.
Neither a pro nor anti shipper. But I am Pro Para. And I can tell that you dont really know what a paraphilia is.
Let me start with, Nearly everyone has a paraphilic attraction. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesnt (though I dont doubt that they exist).
A Paraphilia is an atypical sexual attraction/desire. And what is defined as "atypical" all depends on what culture youre in and who is doing the defining.
Ex. Feet. Thats a pretty common paraphilia. Bondage. Lipstick. Lingerie. High heels. Big muscles. Fictional characters. Hell, in some cultures boobs and butts are seen as non-sexual and thus sexual attraction to them is "atypical".
Its basically just a fancy medical way of saying Fetish.
So with that in mind. MAJORITY of people not only have some form of parpahilia, but also act on those sexual desires (safely and consentually).
Take extra care to note that paraphilia is JUST the attraction. Sexual attraction is not the same as sexual action. You can have sex with someone/something youre not attracted to, and you can be attracted to someone/something and not have sex with them.
Next. You are not "afflicted" with a paraphilia. Its just how youre wired. Thats like saying people who are gay are "Afflicted with same sex attraction". You see how demeaning that sounds?
And thats not even touching on how Trauma (specifically cPTSD) can cause paraphilic attractions.
Now, what youre clearly worried about are a select few kinds of paraphilic attractions. Often called The Big Three (Necro, Zoo, and Pedo) though there are a few others that are in a similar box. I do understand your concern here, as these are attractions that cannot directly be acted on without causing immense amounts of harm. Thats scary and uncomfortable to think about, especially if youve been a victim of an offense like CSA, SA, or similar kinds of sex based abuse.
So lets look at some facts.
Roughly 80% of Criminals who committed SA/CSA DO NOT qualify for a paraphilic disorder. (Ie. Weren't attracted to the victim or the act)
SA isnt about attraction, its about power and control. And unfortunately in our society, children, animals, etc, are easy targets to have power over.
If you want to stop the majority of these offenses, youre not aiming at the right target.
So, majority of these crimes arent done for parpahilic reasons. But that does still leave some that ARE done for paraphilic reasons. And thats a problem. So how do we solve it?
Well, thats a HUGE reason as to why the Pro-para movement exists in the first place.
The Pro-para movement aims to
1. Educate people on Paraphilias, paraphilic disorders, general fetish/kink Sex Ed and on how consent works.
By educating people properly on paraphilias and general sex Ed/ consent. They will be able to more easily recognise if they A. Have a paraphilia and B. Recognise when or if they start to struggle with urges and who/where to go to for help.
2. Destigmatize having a paraphilia. So that more research can be done.
Paraphilia is extremely under researched in general. Mostly BECAUSE of the heavy stigma around it. No one is willing to risk the heavy burden that comes with being open about their stigmatised attraction. Society cant even be normal about gay people. And the term "Pedo" has a long and deep history of being weaponized at marginalized people to justify cruelty being done to them.
Hell, up until more recently, if you even ADMITTED to having a more harmful to act on parpahilia, you risked getting put on an involuntary psych hold and medically castrated. (And in many places this still happens)
3. Create support for those who have Dangerous paraphilias/Urges that they should not act on.
As mentioned before, there arent many places where one can go if theyre struggling with their urges. Even going to a therapist can be risky if you get the wrong one. Right now the best we have is eachother. Though hopefully in the future there will be more accessible help.
4. Stop the cycle of abuse by helping victims heal from their trauma so that they dont fall down pipelines towards abusive individuals.
Many victims who get a paraphilia from their trauma often think they deserve to be abused more BECAUSE of the stigma around having a paraphilia. I have seen minors hand themselves over to repeat offenders or known abusers because they dont believe they deserve to be safe or happy BECAUSE they developed a paraphilia from trauma. They then get groomed into abusing others. Its a sick cycle. One that needs to be stopped.
Is the movement perfect? No. Even I'm frustrated with it. There's quite a bit to work on. Right now people are more focused on horny posting then the core movement. And there is a bit of a tagging issue. And of course, every space has some bad individuals that need to be weeded out.
But that doesnt mean its inherently bad or damaging.
General studies we have show that engaging in fiction is a healthy and crutial way to explore and act our desires that we otherwise cannot. (And thats not just limited to paraphilias! Fiction is crutial to how humans operate as a species).
And what few paraphilic studies we have show that while for some, fiction and fantasy can increase the urges- for others, it can dramatically decrease the urges! Its a case by case issue, not black and white. Either way, support has shown to be helpful in reducing urges, offenses, and suicides.
So to recap.
Paraphilia is just a term for Fetishes.
Majority of fetishes are not a problem.
Pro-para is anti-abuse and pro consent.
My original post is really unnecessarily vague because I just don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to talk about it, but that was most likely counterproductive, so I'm sorry.
The difficult thing with this stuff is that I've seen awful takes from people who also claim to be pro-para. People who want "MAP"s to be a part of the queer community and such. To be more specific on what I think is "pro-para" (Won't use that term from now on since it seems to just cause confusion.), I think of people who fall in those big three, along with the other standard "dead dove" stuff. I should specify that I would rather have people who either engage with that kind of content on tumblr, or post it not interact with my account. That being said, I can't stop them from looking at it.
You're probably right saying that I shouldn't be talking about it if I don't want people like that to interact with me, but it was more there to serve as an explanation as to why the DNI is there.
I would prefer people who have urges like that, use fiction instead of acting on them in person, but it feels disingenuous to say it couldn't cause a feedback loop. Like any other addiction, you shouldn't villainize the people suffering from it, but you shouldn't enable it either. I'm interested in the studies you mentioned, and I'll read them if you send them.
I'm aware I could be wrong about this, but for right now this is my stance.
I’m so ready chat
I just caught the cutest moth ever. 🥰
I released it outside after this picture.
Hi. Did you know the highly autistic role-playing game Space Station 14 (remake of ss13) has moths as one of the playable species? I made flan (if you remember him) in it if you wanna see what they look like (image attached:3)
WAOW!!! AMAZING!!!
DO NOT.
The atmos autism found me, I have gotten full on spreadsheets sitting on my desk full of calculations it’s fun though. I have my own moths and a friends drawn and sitting around.
I really enjoy it, but holy shit man. If your unemployed or disabled this is a game for you.
It is so mechanically in depth I have fucking 2,000 hours in under a year.
I LOVE SPREADHSEET GAMDS
It’s only a spreadsheet in higher level atmos
Awh
You will get there now go my fellow moth and discover how many ways there are to accidentally kill everyone
Oh lovely!!
Note: i play SS13 instead of SS14 personally, more feature rich but less polished (no realtime moving shuttles, tile movement, shitty engine, etc)
ive clocked in at least... 500 hours plus (load bearing plus) and have gone insane, ive went mad over integrated circuits, learned enough to help other players with shit, went SO insane over paperwork i made a zip folder publicly available with a copy of all the templates i made, and learned how to shitcode.
10/10 game. also, Mothroaches.
that is a genetic hybrid of cockroaches and mothpeople. it screams when you pet it, and you can wear it on your head.
I haven't heard a single bad thing about this game so far
i think its strange that some people use the term "purity culture" or "purity police" to describe people who are against proshipping or propara. when i say i am against proshipping and propara movements, i dont think its impure or unnatural, i think its unhealthy and damaging.

i do not think you are a bad person. i just think you are wrong.
based on that one ai generated ad ive seen 500 times now
WHOA!!!!! i love my friends' ocs
Reblog to let your friends know you love their ocs
benefactors. or ancients. whatever you call them
If yall don't like moths when they're caterpillars don't call yourself a moth lover
Like you can't just love them only when they're pretty
Exactly!!! Theyre the same being regardless of appearance
