Noone could’ve explained it better…
But fiction affects reality and p*do fiction normalises things. It’s a gateway drug to both creators and consumers.
Kids will think it’s okay that dating that friendly older person who actually is gaslighting them is okay because their favourite characters did it. Once you let it slip, you can’t pull urself out.
You aren’t using “gaslighting” correctly. Also, children aren’t shown evidence that pedophilia is okay and then decide to be molested based on facts and logic. The child predator gains their trust, and then uses that trust to tell them that what’s happening is okay. You’ve seen this same thing happen in Scientology and other cults: by the time they realize that the nice, friendly people they trusted may have been using them, it’s often only after their lives have been ruined.
There’s a reason that a common thread in CSA victims’ stories is that their abuser told them to keep it a secret: it’s not normal, and in some cases, victims are explicitly told that if the secret gets out, they won’t be allowed to play with Fun Uncle Jim anymore.
Im sorry about my incorrect use of gaslighting but using your point, p*dophiles can just as easily show minors that they can be trusted by grooming them with fictional media that involves p*do ships. It can be a part of gaining their trust.
Yeah, but so can damn near anything else. Ice cream, playing favorite games, books, taking them seriously when others don’t…
It’s like banning trophies over a certain weight because you could bludgeon someone to death with one: while the danger is technically real, it’s neither their commonly intended nor practiced use, and if someone wants to cause blunt force trauma, there are plenty of other innocuous things that can be used for that.
And yet, in online spaces, p*do media tends to be the biggest grooming tool.
The things you’ve mentioned are more applicable to real life. It’s two different dimensions.
Online it’s much easier to believe that it’s okay that an adult is talking to a minor a certain way when said minor or even adult sees a fictional adult and minor do it.
Working with abused children and having to hear about real CSEM, I think I’ve seen ONE instance of “underage fictional porn” used to groom children. And I’ve worked with hundreds of kids.
You known what is mostly used to groom? Adult porn. Adult on Adult porn. Nude images of adults. And things that appeal to children: ie, candy, dogs, pets, toys, playing a game, and so on.
You guys scream about fictional content being used to groom kids when it’s extremely extremely rare for people to use fanfiction and fanart to groom kids. Stop clowning.
“Online spaces are different”. Half the cases I’ve worked with had this shit happen online. And guess what? Still wasn’t adult/on/minor “art”. It was two adults doing the dirty and it’s used to groom kids. Stop perpetuating that fiction makes people do bad things just because they read it once.
This needs more notes tbh
Don’t 😀 willingly 😀 date 😀 someone 😀 who 😀 can 😀 and 😀 might 😀 have 😀 to 😀 face 😀 serious 😀 allegations 😀 because 😀 of 😀 samething 😀 you 😀 did 😀 you’re 😀 the 😀 bitch 😀 in 😀 this 😀 situation 😀
I want to send this to my friend but i do NOT have the emotional energy for that fight rn
CC for the video above:
ready for a hot take not many people are gonna like?
if you are 16, 17, 15, whatever, underage, and you tell a grown man or woman that you are of age - if you tell them that you are 18, in order for them to sleep with you, date you, whatever - you are the predator in this situation.
hate to break it to you! they can get arrested for that shit, and they didn’t knowingly get in a relationship with a child. yet that can cause them to be a registered sex offender for life if people find out.
that is on you. that is sexual predatory behaviour.
don’t fucking lie to people about your age. if you feel like you have to lie to someone about your age, or who you are as a person, don’t be fucking dating them - that’s when you know it’s wrong. or here’s an idea, just don’t date people that it’s illegal for you to date.
and when i say that, i am clearly not talking about people who got groomed into dating older men. i’m talking about people who knowingly choose it.
stop that shit.
If your child has heard a death threat coming out of your mouth, you’re an abuser.
If your child is used to being called stupid, worthless, burden, or any kind of slur by you, you’re an abuser.
If your child knows every single way you’d like to hurt them and flinches away when you walk thru the door, you’re an abuser.
If your child knows their every vulnerability would be used as a weapon against them in your mind, you’re an abuser.
If your child was made to feel guilty and ashamed for the pain they’re being put thru, if they were told by your mouth they deserved it, you’re an abuser.
If your child heard you telling them to hurt themselves, or had you do nothing as they were hurting their own self, you’re an abuser.
If your child has to look elsewhere for the slightest bit of acknowledgment, attention and kindness, you’re an abuser.
If your child frets that other people would treat them so cruelly as you do, you’re an abuser.
If your child is afraid that other people will think of them as lowly as you do, you’re an abuser.
If your child had to beg for a necessity from you, you’re an abuser.
If your child was forced to offer labour, services or go thru strain and fear to gain basic necessities from you, you’re an abuser.
If your child had to fight to deserve to be part of your family, or to have you even acknowledge them, you’re an abuser.
If your child had no safety, support, security or love in your home, you’re an abuser.
If your child lived in fear of being kicked out, humiliated and abandoned by you, you’re an abuser.
If all you taught your child was how it feels to be hated, you’re an abuser.
If you refuse to acknowledge even for a second that you put your child thru all that suffering and fear, and still try to paint yourself as a benefactor in your child’s life, you’re an abuser and a liar.
No child has ever deserved any of this.

You actually enable predators in fandom if you are constantly lying about people being pedophiles or call ships with ADULT Characters CP or pedophilia. You have normalized pedophilia being seen as a joke so people will not take real accusations of real predators as seriously as they should.
the term “asexual” is inherently homophobic
hear me out, okay:
the term ‘asexual’ meaning ‘no sexual attraction’ implies that any word with the suffix ’-sexual’ means “sexual attraction” which it DOES NOT. implying that h/m/sexual and bisexual = sexual attraction sexualizes minors, perpetuates the idea that sga is “dirty” or inherently sexual, and is overall homophobic

this is it, folks. we have reached a whole new level of The Discourse™.
@jackmeatington
oh my fu-cking god
A college-level vocabulary is a terrible thing to waste
What the actual FUCK.
Imma be real with y’all but personally I find the trans Vriska head canon a bit offensive? Not super offensive but just, yikes y’all
(I’m a trans woman btw in case you didn’t know, just throwing that out there before peeps accuse me of anything)
Vriska being trans suddenly has her doing a lot of offensive seriotype stuff (“the compitent gal powerhouse must obviously be trans no other way”, being super impulsive, literally being a fairy!!! etc) AND like all of her trans coding was only from Pesterquest. Which while fun is non canon as frick yo.
That’s a big part of it to like being trans is a BIG part of a person’s character. You can’t just make them trans on a whim that shits gotta be in there from day one. The whole “and then I transitioned and that was that!” thing never happens shit bro this is a big part of a person!! And Vriska just don’t act like that. Not saying a trans character wears it on their sleeve per say but like it’s quite the life influencer.
(Tho admittedly this is me applying human society norms to troll society but then again since when do the writers take that into consideration)
But ye
Don’t retcon in trans just cause you thirst for trans characters, like fuckin make trans characters !!! I don’t want your “haha she was trans the whole time I swear!” JK Rowling fuckery I get being thirsty for trans reps, I am to, but this ain’t it chief. Vriska is cis boo hoo. Hell these peeps are writing homestuck2 just like??? Have trans peeps in that??? Trans peeps playing Sburb has so many ramifications like legit stop dwelling on characters that we already know all about and give me some actual trans characters !!!
If y’all want a trans icon like,,, Lanque is standing RIGHT over there, tho his route mocked y’all who be wanting to reduce trans peeps to “uwu pressoous bab who did no wrong uwu” so ye continue to sleep on him I guess !! He was a lot more popular before he route came out and it sickens me to the bone
What trans coding does she even have in Pesterquest? As far as I can see it consists of “having a flat chest at the age of twelve” and “not wanting to be called ‘dude’ by a complete stranger”. That’s… exactly what I was like at that age and I am currently proving I’ve had a functioning uterus from birth via unpleasant cramping?
Also I really don’t get why people want Vriska of all characters as representation. I ran her through the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and she meets at least nineteen of the twenty criteria, the possible exception being “parasitic lifestyle”. For the record, Caliborn didn’t get nineteen out of twenty.
At least in my eyes she didn’t have any coding, everyone else was saying so and that’s why I through it in.
Honestly, I have to say, picking the character who stalked and sexually assaulted a boy as the trans girl rep is not a good move anyway. That goes back into the issue with Jade in the epilogues - she has a penis and sexually harasses Dave and Karkat, and it probably makes things worse instead of better that that’s probably not her being AMAB so much as a shoutout to the old dogdick headcanon.
Frick Vriska done so many shitty things I forgot about that!
But also I have to disagree, shitty trans peeps exist and should be allowed to exist. My core complaint is if Vriska was trans she’d be a walking stereotype and also it wasn’t built into her character off the bat, Lanque was trans Vriska wasn’t.
The jade thing tho like Idk I ain’t touching that we here to call Vriska trans a dumb idea not shit on the epilogues
It’s not so much that she’s done “bad things” generally. Sexually predatory behaviour in particular is a widely popular stereotype of trans women; men think trans women are just gay men out to “recruit” straight ones, and radfems think they’re out to turn lesbians straight, and both groups think they rape everything in sight. That’s the problem with the Jade thing too, and it adds to the “walking stereotype” issue.
Well god damn this shitcake gets worse and worse every second !
I have to admit I’m not a fan of the June Egbert thing either. The traits in John’s behaviour that everyone’s using as definitive proof could just as easily be signs of depression (not feeling like he lives up to his father, feeling things are subtly wrong around him), the drawing of John with long hair was a riff on Nic Cage’s mullet rather than anything deeper, and it just basically seems to be used as an excuse to avoid being publicly seen to like het ships.
I mean personally June is just as canon as shrek being Eridan’s dad. Just a fun what if !
If it was a fun “what if”, that would be fine, but people get treated like monsters for not wanting it to be canon, and that makes me hate it all the more.
@vriskas-8log Bad people can be trans, yes, but as I said, I don’t like that they chose a character who specifically committed sexual assault to be the trans character, as that’s a widely-spread stereotype which gets real trans women killed. It’d be like if there was a character who committed embezzlement and then it came out that they were Jewish. Or, come to think of it, how the epilogues made the one confirmed gay male character into a mind-controlling misogynistic villain.
I’m gonna say something added to this and I’ve been reluctant to say anything but…
I really also really REALLY didn’t like NB!Roxy, as a point. Like, Roxy is pretty much one of the few effectively ‘girly’ characters in the series, and while I can understand some things and I’ve got my own… things.. It still comes down to the fact that here’s the one girl who acts girly, wears pink, likes looking cute and cute things, and now everyone’s treating her as androgine.
And it seriously leaves the cast with so many girls… who don’t act ‘girly’. And I know that we’re not LIMITED to being girly, that’s not the issue, it’s just the whole fact that every female character is some variation of ‘not your typical girl’ but I’m stuck looking at it with ‘Oh yay, the one character I could empathise with has now shifted into a way that I can’t anymore by a post-script retcon.’
Finding this a while after it was posted, but as an enby I hate the NB Roxy thing too, though not for the same reason. (I would say Feferi’s also a girly girl, but since she was in the comic for about five minutes total, I can see why Roxy’s girl-ness is important.) Specifically, a few reasons;
1) Transfeminine Roxy was a popular headcanon, and tacking transmasculinity onto Roxy feels like a big middle finger to the often-transfeminine fans who had that headcanon.
2) Having Roxy complain about feeling socially pressured to be a girl doesn’t make any sense, since she grew up in a place where society didn’t exist. Non-royal carapaces don’t have gendered traits at all, as far as we can tell, and there was literally one other human on the planet at the time, who certainly wouldn’t have pressured her to be a girl, because…
3) Dirk in the main canon loved the hell out of Roxy and said he would rather stab his own dick than hurt her. He couldn’t even hit her to spare himself Tricksterdom, and he certainly wouldn’t have pressured her to be a gender she wasn’t. It ends up feeling like Roxy’s gender was just tacked on as a way to make epilogue!Dirk look more evil by having him misgender them for no reason.
4) Roxy had incentive to not present as female; she constantly went on about how she and Dirk could totally hook up if only he wasn’t gay/she wasn’t a girl, and she placed all her hopes for love and companionship on him, since as said above he was the only person alive on the planet. If she still presented as female with that going on, femininity would have had to be important to her!
5) Alpha Rose provided everything Roxy would need, including feminine clothes and makeup. Rose was a Seer. If Roxy wasn’t female, Rose ought to have Seen that and provided accordingly! Rose certainly isn’t spiteful enough to provide wrongly-gendered supplies for her child just for shits and giggles, unless something went horribly wrong post-Scratch.
It just… nothing about it makes sense.
Yes yes thank you for this yes
because oh god do people seem to really forget Roxy was more or less ‘Last Woman Alive’ in the damn setting.
She spent her years from birth to sixteen raised by carapaces with her entire social interactions being prospitians being nice but gormless, Dersites being mean, and her limited interactions over the internet.
She literally faces no societal pressures until AFTER post-game, but from that we’re supposed to assume… what? That her first sixteen years of life, when she picked anything she wanted and did anything she wanted, when she had to teach HERSELF how to put on makeup as well as pretty much everything else, suddenly there was pressure for her to be a girl when being a guy would have solved her romantic issues with the one man left on the planet?
Yeah. This all really really added up to bug me a lot.
And yes, Fef barely got any characterization, sadly. She had very little time as a character in and of herself, and more as a function of other character’s arks. She wasn’t allowed to be fully self-actualized, to the point where I have more of a clue what Eridan did during the Game than Feferi.
And hell, I JUST remembered Roxy spent at least some time dressing up like a wizard with a fake beard and everything, but still treated that as only a game, but her feminine presenting was her actual identity.
Just.
Just UGH.
As I said, it feels tacked on just to make epilogue Dirk more evil, which has its own problems explicated repeatedly in my “homestuck ending hate” tag. For the record, June Egbert is just as tacked-on, except the purpose there was “to make Hussie controversial again” and “so fans can avoid being publicly seen to ship het”.
Going back to Vriska, I feel like being trans in a society like Alternia really shouldn’t be so easy as the Pesterquest route made it seem. We’re talking about a society which freely kills people for writing fiction about stepping outside approved roles, and if they’re allowed to step outside gender assignment they might get ideas about class assignments too.
I never actually played the Pesterquests, so I have to wonder what they did with Tavros, what with him literally marked for death the moment anyone found out he was now unable to walk.
Like, Alternia kills anyone who’s not perfect for the war machine.
I stopped watching the Let’s Plays after the Vriska nonsense, but here’s a transcript.
It occurs to me just now; the Roxy thing so obviously contradicts prior information, Dirk is randomly evil and mind-controlling people now, and I think there’s a bit where Dirk goes on about how manly and handsome the new Roxy is. Is he supposed to be mind-controlling her into being male? Because EW. Just ew.
I read, and it does actually mention his constant risk of death… as something Vriska says, as shes’ pointing out Tavros needs to get involved in things (and why the fuck would that be Vriska? ANYONE would have been better, so why. ugh)
but then as I read through I hit the choice point, where you have to decide between siding with Tavros and Vriska, and there was an option to not take a side. Which again is reasonable, you as the player don’t have any direct idea of what’s going on yet and might want to know more, right?
> Don’t take a side.
Who do you think you are, a centrist?
This is a CHOICE-DRIVEN NARRATIVE GAME, and that obviously means having to choose between two equally unsatisfying, mutually-incompatible options which will forever alienate you from the side you did not pick.
Try again.’
yeaaaaaaaaah that alone makes me glad I didn’t play.
The world knew her as "Aunt Jemima," but her given name was Nancy Green, and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world as its first "living trademark."
Green was 56 years old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes ... and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel was assigned to keep the crowds moving.
Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for folks in Chicago.
She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89.
This was a remarkable woman ... and she has just been ERASED by politically correct liberals.
I'll always be in your hearts. Please never forget me
I’m crying
Yes I can. Pansexuals would sleep with transsexuals. Bisexuals would not.
You’re a fucking moron
Sorry the truth offends you.
Re: you’re a fucking moron.
A person who likes both men (which inherently includes trans men) and women (which inherently includes trans women) is bisexual.
rip i hate it when people use their sexuality as a reason you should donate to them yes i understand theyre in need of help but you shouldnt exploit your sexuality for money
Fucking yes
Oof I thought I was a terrible person for thinking this so I’m glad to see I’m not alone. (Same goes for race, gender identity, religion, etc.)
if its legit relevant to your need for donations, like being kicked out for being gay or transgender, sure! otherwise, it just makes me kinda suspicious of the post tbh
imagine being a writer and making a complex, fleshed-out character with an intricate personality and a backstory that you spent a huge amount of time on only to have people reduce them to their sexuality
Imagine being so privileged that you can’t work out why people want representation for their sexuality.
Imagine being someone with “lesbianmisandry” as their URL
Being blocked from seeing a post because it has adult content on it is like walking into a bar and the bartender saying “alcohol is for adults so we don’t serve anyone who isn’t of age” and then you’re like “okay, well I’m an adult, so can I have a drink” and they’re like “alcohol is for adults :)” and you’re getting really pissed like “I showed you my ID you pisswipe give me a drink and take my money” and they’re still like “alcohol :) is for :) adults, ha ha, think of the :) kids :)”
Let me see the posts Tumblr you stupid sack of shit.
Kathy Griffin literally advocated killing him in a highly graphic and disgusting display so yeah that tanked the whole “moral high ground” idea they had going.
that’s why he’s lasting. He basically tore the mask off the goody two shoes mainstream folks who are actually resentful, sneering, bitter, unhappy losers.
People aren’t stupid.
