you know what group of people are not marginalized and has a cohort that's been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct? lmao the capital R Rationalists being a den of sex pest is no huge deal for learning about how to properly have sex with Yudkowsky but marginalized ppl existing is the real sex crime, according to the brain genuises on this site. Maybe they're just effectively altruistically defending one of the cofounders of a movement whose natural conclusions made the movement be compatible with largely classism, racism and being a sex pest!

every now and then I am reminded that no one on tumblr, despite crowing about conservatives and such, know even a cursory amount about anything political and this week it was me finding Eliezer Yudkowsky tweet going around with people going, "he's got a point about sex though." The protégé of racist white supremacist Nick Bostrom. One of the most important founders of LessWrongism and the current way of conceptualizing Rationalism, whose natural conclusions lead to eugenics (with people in the circle gleefully writing eugenicist screeds to prove this). This guy has a point about how you should have sex. Get fucking real.

like, people on here do not recommend peer-reviewed books on the Korean War; they recommend Podcasts. They don't fucking read books that are available for free on marxists.org, much less news articles that can be accessed with a little work. "The most passive way of getting educated or no thank you!" Maybe if some podcast that exists to read wikipedia back to you did an episode on him, you people would know not to put a eugenicist on my fucking dashboard talking about how he partakes in an act of reproduction.

The website that has 10k+ ppl nodding along to the racist Yudkowsky's musings about sex by the way thinks the bastion of reactionary thought are trans women. A website whose population at large is deeply deeply unable to be taken seriously when they talk about any form of politics or philosphy.

Ok. Since it obviously needs to be fucking laid out explicitly

Despite all the talk about 'pedophiles' on tumblr, there is zero evidence that any CSA has been perpetrated by the people accused, there is zero evidence that any actual CSAM has been shared or surreptitiously circulated at any point. There is zero evidence.

Like, that's it. Despite all the bullshit, despite all the what-aboutisms, despite all the deliberate and constant misinterpretation, despite all the twisting and obfuscation, despite all the mass surveillance and gang-stalking of trans women, nobody has turned up a god damn fucking thing. And no screenshots of tumblr posts do not fucking count sorry!

it's why I am so so immediately hostile to anyone who still acts like all of this shit hasn't been anything other than blatantly egregious transmisogyny.

usamerican tiktokers are currently talking about how knowing about abu ghraib is "chronically online shit" and you can't be rude to people who don't know about it because they never learned about it in their college polisci programs. if you were curious

Some of the edgiest queers in the world who constantly talk about romanticizing cannibalism and gore is punk or whatever will turn into the literal pope when confronted with anything realistic having to do with sex like im sorry but people fuck in the park at night sometimes always have and always will and you’re going to have to go about your life without advocating for them to be skinned alive in Alcatraz

And— dare I point out the obvious— the policing of these public areas historically was and still is a huge element of police brutality and discrimination against gay people. Undercover cops frequently patrol areas that are known cruising spots and initiate with men so they can make an arrest when the guy reciprocates. They will also arrest men who are seen looking at each other over the urinals in these spots. Or for peeing while wearing a rainbow wristband.

Amtrak Police Arrests Surge at Penn Bathroom Cruising Spot

Federal law enforcement turned a person they arrested in the transit hub directly over to ICE.

If you are going to be squeamish about these facts of public life then you should really be aware of how at odds that is with your “punk” “be gay do crime” aesthetics and how your fears are directly implicated in fascist policing of our bodies

I have read Modelland, published in 2011, about a quasi-superpowered model boarding school where Tookie, a thinly-veiled export of Tyra Banks gets to attend depsite being the poorest awfulest little girl like the opening of Cinderella.

Rules of the Les Misérables magic system (as far as I can figure out):

As long as there is still suffering to be had, Jean Valjean cannot die

Jean Valjean has super strength which cannot be depleted by age or his poor ability to look after himself (up to a point)

Once a person has met Cosette, lack of proximity to her will slowly drain their life force

The dead benevolently haunt those they loved while alive (ily ghost!Fantine)

Javert has an incredible ability to recognise potential criminals (read people from lower social classes)

Eponine has the ability to blend into the background but cannot turn this power off

The only one immune to this power is Javert which isn’t very helpful
