There's this really obscure forgotten DC hero named the Heckler, who's basically buggs bunny as a superhero, not having any powers or physically strong, but just really good at pissing people off until they accidentally deal with themselves.

Now they're interesting, but the REAL star of the show is one of his villains, John Doe the Generic Man, who's this guy in a stark white suit with flat pink unshaded, untextured skin with no features or anything who talks like chatGPT and has black text over his face that explains what he's feeling at the moment. That guy is fucking fascinating.

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

[stantler]

This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah

If you hate narcissistic people you need to unfollow me. Only people who love and support narcissists are allowed on this blog.

For anyone who's still around and wants to be educated, "narcissism" is a personality disorder, which is a fancy way of saying that it's a way of existing, which has real disadvantages, but which has also been effectively criminalized by the medicarceral system. If you hate narcissists, you are complicit in the ongoing social processes which deny them bodily autonomy, human connection, and basic dignity.

Narcissism/being narcissistic/having NPD is not a moral failing. Treating narcissistic people like shit is.

Wild that this is my most controversial post and that I still get hate for it all the time in the comments, yall really hate insane people huh.

Everyone go look up the song nasa banned from space

[hiveswap]

Don't forget to play it loud as fuck

[kowai-kabuki-tanuki]

please….listen to the whole thing. And imagine that you are IN SPACE in 1973 and you JUST woke up. Every time you adjust…it escalates somehow.

This song had to be designed in a lab for the sole purpose of fucking with astronauts. whoever added it to the NASA playlist was a genius.

[hiveswap]

It took them two tries to ban it?

i used to be super gung-ho about transandrophobia/transmisandry a couple months ago when i first cracked my egg and accepted my transness (i'm transmasc) because a lot of the talking points made some sense and also because i primarily understood it as an intersection of transphobia and misogyny towards trans men for transitioning + mal/degendering them to their agab. but then i realized these people were LITERAL about the androphobia/misandry part and i frankly just don't know how to feel. and a lot of those people turned out to be very hateful of transfems for literally no apparent reason? honestly i think the only net positive to come out of that whole thing was that they talk about exorsexism a lot when it tends to go ignored in our community.

You were duped, and that's okay, the idea is practically built around duping people like you, but you should try to make sure something similar can't happen to you again.

While I won't say that transfeminist Tumblr is good about talking about our non-binary sisters, I've criticized it harshly many times in the past, transmisanbros aren't actually much better. "Exorsexism" has many of the problems of the rest of their ideas, and discussions of it almost universally assume transmasculinity as the default way to be non-binary, which carries their misogyny into the idea.

Oppressive structures do not divide themselves on gender identity, a non-binary transmasculine person and a non-binary transfeminine person are not targeted equally, even if they have the exact same gender identity.

Happy you've gotten out of there, hate movement's aren't particularly fun things to be in.

[tankie-transfeminist]

Setting the tone: I am asking this as a curiosity, not out of malice. How did you come to accept/praise/defend "Narcissistic personality disorder", which I assume you meant as: excessive spikes of entitlement, arrogance, low empathy leading to low compassion in behavior.

-You can point and should point out if my assumptions/axioms, logical steps are incorrect from your perspective!

It seem to go against communism, where compassion is required for participating members to reach an ideal, utopian society.

This Hegel's dialectic, where 2 opposing ideas "thesis" are brought together to combine into a "synthesis", a complete better view of the facts.

I'm defending NPD as defined and constructed by medical literature, not any specific set of behaviours. I came to defend it because of people I know with NPD, and after learning about the many ways in which their existence is defacto criminalized. Even if NPD is all of those things and nothing else (something which is not true), it doesn't justify the extreme level of social isolation and medical or legal imprisonment.

Communism is not some utopian "let's all just work together" thing, it doesn't require a co-operative human nature to fucntion, it works on incentives. Workers seek to control the means of production because it benefits them, not out of an internal feeling of empathy.

Compassion has absolutely nothing to do with it, capitalism doesn't suck because capitalists are uncompassionate, it sucks because it creates incentives which work against the vast majority of the population. If you incentivize and facilitate "compassionate" behaviour, people will engage in that behaviour, regardless of their internal emotional state.

As the USAmerican supreme court continues to uphold segregated sports by banning trans women from women's sports, you need to be finding ways to include us in your social spaces explicitly. You need to crack down on transmisogyny, befriend transfems in your life, and give them more grace than you otherwise would.

If the US government won't let us play with our sisters then you need to go out of your way to include us.

friend pointed out how nobody wants queer stories that are personal and vulnerable especially through author's experience or people they know, they want stories that are watered down and marketed in the most unproblematic way possible. they don't want the queer authors view of the world they want whatever is easy to digest and makes queer people look good.

problem is, some of us are really bad and complex people and I feel like that deserves to be represented more, both sloppily and gracefully because in all honesty I find queer stories that are scrubbed of its personalized authenticity from the author as insulting.

[rabbitkinglune777]

the two things that come to mind here is both Steven universe by Rebecca Sugar and I sexually identify as an attack helicopter by Isabel Fall

these two stories are VERY different but share the same element of vulnerability and queerness intertwined with each other and both share similarities with downright cruel dissection from queer people who feel uncomfortable with these types of personalized stories.

I think Joan of Arc's fursona would be a dog called Joan of Bark, but my partner thinks it would be a phoenix, which seems insensitive to me, but neither of us are furries, so I guess we don't really get a say either way.

[swiftrunnerfelidae]

I promise I’m not trying to be pretentious here. Jeanne d’Arc’s last name is d’Arc.  An overly-literal translator insisted it stood for “of Arc”, and that’s why we know her as Joan of Arc.  At the time, she was more commonly known as “Jeanne la Pucelle”, meaning “Joan the Maiden” or “Joan the Virgin”.

anyways since her main attack strategy was “hit them until they stop moving” I think she’d be a gorilla.

[tankie-transfeminist]

Interestingly the reason she was actually executed in the end was not because of her supposed visions, or because she helped the French defeat the English, but because she wore men's clothes. She was also put in the wrong prison (secular rather than ecclesiastical, I don't think they segregated them by gender back then), and her trial, even by the standards of church trials of the time, had a ton of procedural irregularities. Despite the fact that she actually held up quite well in court, it was essentially a foregone conclusion even before you introduce all of the violations of normal procedure, and she was found guilty of blasphemy for wearing men's clothes.

After she was found guilty and basically forced to promise to stop wearing men's clothes, she was either forced to wear them again by her prison, or chose to wear them again despite knowing the consequences (we have contradicting sources). That made her unrepenting, something which actually allowed the church to "relax" her over to the English state for execution, as the church couldn't execute people.

I don't know if Jeanne was trans, she certainly might've been, but I do think it's interesting how nobody ever talks about how her execution was actually about enforcing gender roles around her dress, because that might invite some contemporary political comparisons the people who love her might not appreciate.

[tankie-transfeminist]

What does "tankie" exactly mean in the context of your url? There are a lot of opinions and beliefs that I've heard called tankie that I agree with and many I disagree with.

I did think this was a bait ask at first, but you weren't on anon and a cursory look at your profile convinced me this was in good faith, so thank you for asking!

The function it serves is that of a rent-lowering gunshot. At this point, I have thousands of followers, and while I love that, some of yall are pretty reactionary, and I don't want a bunch of right-leaning imperialists who have bought into pink washing to be on my blog.

Specifically it's saying that I'm not a communist for western countries only, that I don't believe what the state department tells me about Cuba or the USSR or China or even non-socialist countries like Iran or Venezuela (which is not the same as uncritically glazing those countries tbc). It's saying that I think a violent revolution is the only possible way to overthrow the forces of Capital, that the only language imperialism understands is violent resistance, and that those violent acts will often be ugly and liberatory simultaneously.

Feminism is very frequently co-opted for imperialism and capitalism, and it's really important to me that this blog cannot be co-opted in the same way.

This isn't to say other leftists aren't welcome here, I won't turn up my nose at anarchists or socialists or people with less defined leftist worldviews, just that my commitment to transfems is intertwined with my commitment to the working class and my commitment to the global south. They are one and the same and cannot be separated from each other.

[heavensenthousepet]

you people would ship fences if they were men

[tankie-transfeminist]

As a staunch transfeminist, maybe linking supporting genocide and authoritarianism with transfeminism is a bad idea

As a staunch transfeminist, i think linking anti-imperialism and Marxism with transfeminism is a necessity, especially given how often western feminists have supported imperialism and opposed the working class. If you want to be one of those feminists, go ahead, just don't do it on my blog.

[after starting a fistfight and losing] haha okay man let's all put this behind us and sign a peace treaty between you, me, and my slavering rabid dog. what? oh don't worry the treaty says he'll stop mauling passersby. has he agreed to the treaty? i don't see how that's relevant. i will never ever put him on a leash btw just throwing that out there. so yeah anyway, trucies?

[seimsisk]

wait wait are we representing israel as a rabid dog and iran as a perfectly reasonable stranger? is that were we are at?

[txttletale]

well one of these governments is willing to sign a peace treaty after winning a war of aggression waged against it by a much larger power and one of them is repeatedly sabotaging even temporary ceasefires because it is politically untenable for it to stop massacring lebanese civilians with bombs. you can do the over the top Tired snarky above it all tone all you like but the facts of the situation are incredibly stark

[tamamita]

If even your greatest ally knows you're trying to fuck up all prospects of peace, then it is absolutely reasonable for everyone to believe you're rabid dogs that need to be put on a leash

Today I wanted to talk about Marlow Trottie. Marlow was a 35 year old Black woman living in Louisiana, whose friends and family described as always having "a smile on her face" and as being "literally the sweetest person I’ve ever met!”, according to Them news' Quispe López.

Marlow Trottie was killed on June 8th 2026. She was found dead, alone, in the streets of Alexandria, Louisiana. It was a homicide.

Marlow Trottie was a woman. Her family has contested this, and publicly misgendered her, and many news sites have already deadnamed and misgendered her as well. I fear what her obituary will say. I fear what her gravestone will say even more.

She joins a growing list of other trans women who have been killed simply for existing. Again from Them news, that list now numbers 11 women from the past 3 months alone.
