given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
As a society, we need to go back to understanding that strangers on the internet are, you know, strangers. I feel lately that I'm seeing a rise in 'An author I love blocked me because they took my comment the wrong way' posts on the ao3 subreddit, and then the comment is them calling the author a fucking bitch or something like that.
Don't do this. Tone doesn't translate well in text, and if you don't have a rapport with that author, they are not going to interpret, 'You're a fucking bitch' as, 'Author I hate you for being so talented and making me feel so keenly.' They're going to interpret it as you being an asshole. You can shit talk with your friends because you have an established relationship with them and can distinguish between playful banter and genuine anger. You do not have this with a stranger, no matter how much you like their fics. You will have a much more pleasant time in fandom and not get cockblocked from interacting with your favorite writers if you remember this.
I donāt know if this is an obvious take or a hot take, but I think people need to start re-framing feminism as the fight for body autonomy as opposed to whatever this second wave revival gender essentialist bullshit we have going on right now. Once you reframe it in this way, itās easier to understand intersectionality and why cis women are not the only people who need feminism. The lack of body autonomy effects cis women, trans people, intersex people, disabled people, poc, homeless people, sex workers, etc. and your feminism needs to include and prioritise all of these groups of people (which will include men btw) because feminism is about autonomy, not about establishing a matriarchy. Body autonomy is the biggest threat to the patriarchy, both with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and even the right to not be drafted into military services. Once body autonomy is established for everyone, the patriarchy no longer has a leg to stand on.
And body autonomy does include things that you donāt personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with āI donāt think itās conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when weāve seen images of women being abused in this wayā because I do actually think youāve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didnāt like or that made you uncomfortable.
Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.
TERFs are some of the biggest opponents to body autonomy, and if you find yourself thinking āoh people can do whatever they want with their bodies as long as it doesnāt harm them or make others uncomfortableā then you are far more susceptible to TERF propaganda than you think.
ooooh the radfems are BIG mad about this one

One of the most heartwarming things Iāve ever heard a dog trainer say āA pushy pet who makes small demands and communicates their needs to you is a safe pet. It means they trust you and arenāt afraid of your reaction if they misbehave and push your buttons a littleā
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as āproblematicā in class and our professor was like, āThatās cool, but āproblematicā doesnāt really mean anything. It means that the thing youāre describing has a problem, and in and of itself thatās not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else itās not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like youāre trying to say that this is bad, but you donāt want to say ābad.ā Is that right?ā
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the ābadā thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, āIām uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.ā
Once we stopped calling things āproblematicā and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, āthatās racistā or āthatās misogynisticā or āew capitalism grossā out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, āUhhh... Iām not sure whatās so bad?ā and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I canāt help but think of this professor being like, āGood starting point, now letās get specific.ā I think when we have to commit to saying āthatās ___ā it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever weāre claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes itās art, and it should be full of problems, because thatās what art is.

i felt like these tags really added to the experience, thanks @cynderxdustypaws for your knowledge
its kind of distressing how you can tell a lot of people see popular indie artists and writers and such as like "a Celebrity but one which i stand a half decent chance of bullying to death"
porn is bad because [christian talking point] and [alt-right study] and [misunderstood neurochemistry] and of course [feature of capitalism]
thank you SO MUCH for reminding me about [feature of patriarchy] and [problem caused by lack of kids' sex ed] random tumblr user in the notes! louder for those in the back!

Happy black cat day!!
Here are some black cats I've drawn through the years
One thing that pisses me off about the online leftist Free Palestine type is that when you confront them about commentingāFree Palestineā on a Jewish personās post - they say āOh - Iām not targeting Jewish people. I do this to everyoneā or āI ask everyone about their opinion on Palestine before I decide if theyāre a good person not just Jews.ā
We all know thatās bullshit because if you did spend all your time writing āFree Palestineā comments underneath everyoneās posts ā more than just Jewish people would be complaining.
And likeā¦that is the laziest activism ever if it were true.
I get "free Palestine" comments on the fan fictions I write. Like Ma'am, what makes you think me and my batman fanfiction has ANY sort of sway over global politics? And they only comment that shit because I don't like one of the characters and they think it's racist so their pushback is "Free Palestine" like again, fictional characters and a fiction writer. I cannot make the world change, I'm writing a story for myself and other like-minded people. Fuck off.
Like literally, it's the stupidest fucking thing ever. Also funny as hell when they call me a Zionist. Babes, I'm an atheist, I just also learned about this thing called History and know what movement yours looks like.
What does Zionism have to do with being an atheist? You donāt have believe in religion to believe Jews have historical, religious and cultural ties to Israel and are indigenous to the land and should be allowed to live there
Oh is that what it means?! I was confused. Then I guess I am. I always read Zionist and Jew together so I thought it was a subtype of the Jewish identity. My bad.
Yep! People use Zionist to get away with antisemitism. Most Jews do identify Zionist - but itās not like sect of Judaism like Reform or Orthodox. Itās a position.
Glad to have helped!

This also very much applies to fanfics. Some people need to take a step back and think before they make straight fools out of themselves.
listennnnn, please say it louder for the folks in the back.
yāall gotta learn to be ok when things arenāt about you/catering to your wants. and if you canāt learn to be ok, just donāt subject artists and writers to your whining.
