I check everyone that follows this blog and I will block you. I'm tired of saying it over and over again!
Good things to know:
Self harm is not "just an aesthetic for me." I am mentally ill and I self harm. I'm comfortable saying that but whether or not menhera self harm is none of your business. Do not harass anyone speculating whether or not you think they are 'allowed' to reblog vent art with SH in it. Even if someone doesn't hurt themselves, they could be using that kind of art to distract themselves or to vent instead of actually doing it. If you cant understand that you literally just don't know what vent art is and you aren't the woke mental illness advocate warrior you think you are.
You do not have to self harm to be menhera. You also do not owe anyone an explanation.
You do not have to be Japanese to be menhera.
Disabled people are of course welcome in the community.
Anyone who is struggling mentally or is on the path to recovery can be menhera, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or anything else. As long as you are pro-recovery and not a bigot. Obviously, they don't care about the health and wellbeing of others and that is a critical part of this community.
Yandere is not menhera. I'm not saying this in judgment, I see it as a valid form of roleplay and as an outlet for violent and obsessive thoughts, but please do not invade menhera tags and spaces. By posting yandere aesthetics here, you are equating menhera with harmful stereotypes that already exist about us.
Thinspo and it's variants are not menhera. This is anti-recovery.
Posting pictures of REAL LIFE self harm wounds or scars is not menhera. This is anti-recovery.
It is NOT called menhera kei. Drop the Kei.
Menhera is NOT a slur. Neurotypical people have weaponized a word mentally ill people invented to perpetuate the stereotype that we are crazy, violent, selfish, attention-seeking, etc.
If you wanna argue any of this, why don’t you just go right to the source and then maybe you’ll calm down.
Yamikawaii is aesthetically similar to menhera fashion and menhera has yamikawaii aspects in its art, but they are not the same. Yamikawaii is an aesthetic. Menhera is so much more.
So what is menhera? Start from here.
