hi gay people! decided to check this blog for the first time in a year b/c tumblr sent me an email that this blog turned 2 years old... wild. thank you for the kind messages of love and support in my absence!

honestly looking back at some of my posts... how awfully i worded things, the dumb perspectives i had as an inexperienced young adult, it makes me cringe. 😬 i spoke over a lot of people, interjected into many conversations ESPECIALLY as a white person that i shouldn’t interrupted, and like... i seemed so annoying!!! my 19 year old self PLEAAASE SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

im so glad i quit the discourse blog thing. its horrible to be surrounded by so many people engaging with you in bad faith. and even now im still getting awful asks from rad..fems reblogging posts i made years ago... lol. the best advice i can give is to block freaks & make blocklists & engage with people you want to make friends with! don’t engage with idiots who think you’re stupid, it’s just a waste of time. play minecraft, terraria, puyo puyo. save up for a dog. god i want a husky.

and my perspective now is that, like, being against pedophilia, incest, abuse, transphobia, lesbophobia, etc. is just a normal people thing. thats just something you should expect from people online and IRL. the culture has shifted so now we’re listening to victims!! and spreading awareness and information!! and im so glad. it’s usual to find people clowning on freaks instead of defending them, and i love it so much.

other than that ive been working a lot lol. obsessed with terraria on the switch in my free time. still with my girlfriend and im growing out my hair. read both homestuck epilogues-- they sucked and im kinda out of the fandom because... the racism... the homophobia... the bastardization of my favorite characters.... nah. i love and stan she-ra on netflix and watched all of season three last night. Catra redemption arc when!!!!!!!!

hope yall are good! keep being awesome people and don’t be afraid to make friends online with other cool people. love y’all, take care! <3

Farewell Post

(I’m going to publish this into my queue so that way when it runs out I’ll have a clean ending post.)

It’s been fun running this blog, and I’ve met with and interacted with so many awesome people, but I’ve decided I want to focus on real life. It’s really not worth it to disregard actual issues in my life (surgery, hormones, finding a new job, visiting my online friends, getting a house with my new girlfriend, and so on) anymore. 

I don’t have to use social media to live online and escape from my actual life. I don’t need that as a coping mechanism, not anymore.  Discourse blogs are a lot to handle-- you’re faced with so much negativity and meet the worst kinds of people. This blog has the most followers I’ve ever had, and it’s made me incredibly happy and validated at times, but more often than not I’m just faced with a pit in my stomach.

I think I’ll keep this blog up as an archive. I’ll check in to it from time to time, but I really think this is for the best for me.

With all that said, thank you to everyone who’s ever followed this blog! Especially to my fantastic mutuals, ex-mutuals and fellow anti blogs, and my kind anons! I want to let you all know that I’m doing fine; I’m not dead, I just want to live life. I hope you all have great futures and succeed in school, work, and love!!!!

- Elise

if you’re “willing to listen politely” to Nazis and white nationalists so long as they’re polite to you, you openly value decorum and your personal comfort over human lives and livelihood, and not only are you stupid, you’re a horrible person

forced diversity is not a thing, though it can be handled poorly people wanting to be represented in media is not forced.

[starteas-deactivated20190304]

anti sjws LOVE to argue that having a diverse cast of characters is “pandering to the sjws” but it’s not… like… that? the world is FULL of diversity and if a character is disabled, LGBT, or a person of color, it’s not impossible to find someone who fits that exact description.

like i said, diversity can be handled poorly but having diverse characters isn’t bad. people wanting to see themselves represented isn’t bad. stop throwing a tantrum when you’ve got thousands of media to chose from to find a white character to relate to.

[destinytomoon-deactivated202006]

Also they love use the argument ‘is not realistic’ even in media who has fantasy or sci-fi. Like is totally realistic have powers or teleport but not a character of color or a gay character???? Like the world is extremely diverse how is ‘not realistic’ have a diverse cast?. In what world do they live that they only see white cishet people?

News flash assholes: Fictional cp can and does hurt children, it fuels the market for real cp and is used by abusers to make their victims think its normal. Fiction affects reality.

Girls can be coders too

[reenuka-deactivated20181217]

As a woman who codes, their comments are especially irksome because “Hello World” apps are the gateway to learning every coding language / framework out there. And that was true even for them. There’s no need for these sexist racist fucks to shit on the same things that taught them to code too in their endeavor to display their sexism and racism. Especially when code wouldn’t exist without women. And yes that includes Black women.

This is why Hidden Figures was so important. And why the erasure or women in technology is so fucking insidious. I hate white men.

this comic by Matt Lubchansky pretty much summarizes my feelings about companies that try to sell products using oppressed groups’ mass deaths as a marketing technique 

[closet-keys]

also FYI, yes this is based on an actual thing Nike did 

It looks like this:

and ACT UP was quoted saying in response: 

“We deserve better [than] to have our work be exploited by corporations that profiteer off grassroots resistance imagery” 

So yeah, Nike has been doing this shit. 

[plum-soup]

ok but did anybody in boardroom REALLY experience a pang of conscience? its just not realistik

[skygenders]

Hot Topic is doing this too lmao

the hag in folklore actually is symbolic of men being afraid that when women get older we’ll realize how shit they really are and eat them which is fair and they should be

The Nazis may have called themselves socialists but anyone who can be bothered to take 10 seconds out of their day and do the most basic amount of research can tell you that the Nazis had their own definition of socialism which was radically opposed to what had already become known as socialism, both Marxist and otherwise. 

For example, Marxist socialism advocates for class struggle and the abolition of private property while fascism advocates class collaboration and the defense of private property. Already we see that socialism and Nazism are polar opposites on the most fundamental points. Even worse, fascists, both Germans and Italians, actively oppressed socialists and working class movements. Both Mussolini and Hitler spoke openly of their hatred for communists and Marxists. 

The reason they called themselves socialists was because, like all right-wingers, they are liars. Socialism had a much better reputation back then so the Nazis decided to appropriate it for themselves to look good. The American Libertarian Party did the exact same thing with the term libertarian which was actually a left-wing ideology. The only difference is that libertarian Murray Rothbard admitted his dishonest use of the word while Hitler invented lies.

From an interview with Hitler himself:

“Why,” I asked Hitler, “do you call yourself a National Socialist, since your party programme is the very antithesis of that commonly accredited to socialism?”

“Socialism,” he retorted, putting down his cup of tea, pugnaciously, “is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists.”

Dishonesty and the right-wing are inseparable.

Story

[straightboyfriend]

i think a lot of lesbians need to be careful with how they interact with trans men.

i understand sometimes you rlly don’t have bad intentions while complimenting us but saying stuff like “id go straight for you” or “i’m gay but-“ isn’t rlly okay. it doesn’t come off as you guys validating our gender it comes off as someone who is only attracted to women seeing a trans man as not completely a man.

& that is obviously not you guys’ fault! but often times compliments like these make us doubt our ability to pass or play on our insecurities with ourselves & our gender presentation & it rlly jus. isn’t good

you shouldn’t be complimenting trans men by saying “i’m a lesbian but i would go straight for you” or anything like that coz it’s jus uncomfortable for us

i rlly rlly love lesbians a lot & i love all my lesbian mutuals & followers but i rlly need to assert my boundaries right now & let y’all know what is & isnt okay with me, & saying this sorta stuff is rlly not okay.

[radical-eirini-deactivated20210]

pseudo-leftist terfs again with this utter tripe of “uh huh huh did you ever think about how a lot of people from outside the white west may be transmisogynist? that means actually everyone agrees with us! checkmate atheists” as if trans women and trans women activists outside of the west didn’t exist and weren’t enormous contributors to our global struggle, as if every inhabitant of the world we consider to not be “the west” with socially conditioned transmisogynist beliefs is directly comparable to the TERF fucks who dedicate 18 hours a day to harassing trans women and center their politics on it.

this person is so immersed in western chauvinism she’s actually incapable of seeing how in framing herself as a representative of the global masses (when did the global masses vote for her anyway?) she’s actually enacting the west’s foundational racist mythology of the rest of the world’s population as violent and incapable of comprehending enlightened western values. in the end this form of thinking is just part of the same right-wing homonationalist pattern that leads to the systematic denial of asylum to gay asylum seekers from the global south, because it conceives of LGBT people and LGBT activism even in the face of violent repression as notions only comprehensible by westerners and those who have fully assimilated to western culture, thus systematically denying the enormous struggles made by transgender women across the entire world.

the hypothetical old man from el salvador may very well hold more progressive and revolutionary values than your dumb ass self ever will, you just intrinsically decided that he must agree with your bigotry merely by virtue of his country of origin because you’re fundamentally incapable of conceiving of people from outside “the west” as capable of complex individual beliefs, and even if his values end up aligning with socially-acceptable transmisogyny, it’s not super likely he’s the kind of person who goes on the internet every day to melt down about the troon menace because your values are extreme even by the standards of “normal” social transmisogyny… its why your only political support comes from the far-right.

[quoms]

at the same time, these tweets are just a step or two away from complaining about how transgenderism is a symptom of western cultural degeneracy - all it takes is a minor shift toward characterising these fictitious non-westerners’ bigotry (which this person is already implicitly licensing) as essentially correct, rather than ‘violent’, and toward characterising respect for trans women as exemplary not of ‘complex individual beliefs’ but of decadence

(or perhaps toward characterising the concept of ‘complex individual beliefs’ as in and of itself decadent. so it goes)

so yeah, no wonder there’s overlap with the far right, and very specifically with groups on the far right who consider social justice a particularly western disease (a position most often upheld, of course, by blaming the whole thing on jews). this western/non-western dichotomy is a common framework that underlies both positions; although they attach an opposite moral value to the respective sides, they concur on the terms of the argument
