i can’t believe i just tried to turn the volume down on real life. Like i physically tried to use the volume button on my phone to lower the volume of pp’ls voices. what the fuck.

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is wild. Someone will be like “hey just so you know the thing you did was a little bit loud/uncomfortable/insensitive but it’s ok I know you didn’t mean it” and my brain will instantly translate “you should be shot”

[ajani]

The fun other side of this too is when you are afraid of making other people feel that way so you just let shit go 90% of the time even when it’s reasonable and valid to make a comment/critique/etc

Fallen but not Forgotten,

Tw: Brief mention of bl00d

<!– more –>

A name you can barely recall.

A multitude of wings sprout from your back.

With a crack of thunder, you begin to fall.

Beautiful wings singed black.

A bird locked in a cage.

Beautiful wings torn from your back.

Anger echoes through your sobs and cries.

Sorrow turns into betrayed rage.

Was this all a bunch of lies?

Your brothers cry out for you.

Your soul shatters.

None of what you told was true.

Golden blood seeps from your injury.

Did your happiness ever matter?

It seems it never did for you and me.

Cast down to earth.

You lie amongst the flora.

To them is that all you were worth?

People keep searching for ways to argue that JK Rowling has always been a horrible person deep down as a way of explaining her recent behaviour.

But here’s the thing: that’s probably not true at all.

Pretending it is discounts the harsher, scarier truth: that even decent, well-meaning people can be radicalised by dangerous, hateful, predatory groups, and given enough time they can become truly hideous versions of their former selves.

It can happen to me. It can happen to you. It can happen to any of us, given the right mix of circumstances. And over the past few years, we’ve seen it happen to one of the most famous children’s authors of our age.

Nobody is immune.

[agender-thanos]

So you’re saying that The Clown wasn’t always… outright evil?

[the-angry-ship-deactivated20220]

No one is born evil

[agender-thanos]

Well…

Good point, but prejudice is best installed at a young age. Why is why I assumed the said Clown was just evil since some early part of their life.

[baixueagain]

What I’m saying is that JKR, like so many average people, very likely started off in a place of well-meaning ignorance. Then she started exploring new and different ideas being shared online. Some ideas resonated deeply with her experiences as an abuse survivor, so she began exploring them deeper. Then, wham, public backlash. Her trauma is triggered - but so is her curiosity. After all, if something she did or said set people off, maybe she’s onto something. So she starts exploring more. Starts asking more questions. And when she does this in public, there is always backlash. Meanwhile, however, in private, her new friends are telling her “See? This is proof we’re right. This is proof that the world wants us silenced, because they’re scared of the truth, and they really hate women that much.” And what do you know, what they’re telling her starts sounding more and more reasonable, especially since the outside world is becoming more and more hostile.

And round and round it goes, until you have a radical.

[fierceawakening]

This is absolutely how radicalization works. I started out “I could never be a feminist, they hate kinksters” (yes, this was a massive oversimplification) and within, oh, i think two years? i was saying “well, i don’t like the overtones of ‘radical feminist’ but what’s so wrong with saying you’re a radical AND a feminist? we need to make sure there’s space for traumatized women who really do legitimately hate and fear men.” When you become an extremist, you become UNRECOGNIZABLE even to YOURSELF.

#also JKR is just the most famous and most heinous case#there are MANY MANY young people being indoctrinated with the same ideals within the circles they found safety and community in#i do not care that JKR has been radicalised; i am far more worried about people not recognising the radicalising process#and how it invades queer and women’s communties to deliberately and actively create harmful environments#as disappointing and gross as JKR is; it’s#it’s important to recognise that radical ideologies (be they alt-right racism or TERFdom) are spread (via @wondersmith-and-sons​)

[wondersmith-and-sons]

There is also this….revisionist tendency to say that JKR has always been a closet bigot and conservative and right-wing since she got famous, but that’s not even entirely true. One of her first major political stirrups was criticising Tory austerity measures and David Cameron, (she also once said “people who send their children to boarding schools seem to feel that I’m on their side. I’m not.”), donating to Labour and being openly supportive of the British welfare state. She has, in at least one interview (from 2000) self-proclaimed to be left-wing. As early as 2003, she claimed that one of her biggest writing influences was a Jessica Mitford, who Rowling described as a “self-taught socialist”. 

This isn’t to apologise for her behaviour or rehabilitate her into some former activist who is still worthy of saving; it’s to contextualise her recent descent into TERFdom compared to her previous political stances she’s openly held. She was probably never going to be a staunch ally for equality and diversity, and yes, a lot of the HP series were very problematic in retrospect, but she could very easily have gone the other way and at the very least turned out to be less of a bigoted shitbag she is now. The fact that her politics in late 2000′s/early 2010′s were similar to so many people who are now activists and organisers for queer, BIPOC and vulnerable communities should tell us to be all the more careful about radfem ideology and transphobia in progressive spaces. 

It’s comforting to say “we should have known in hindsight that she was always going to become a TERF, the early signs were all there!” but that’s also not true. We have to recognise that the toxic ideology, the active harm she chooses to participate in, was a deliberate choice; this was a path she chose to go down, not one that was pre-determined for her. It’s also an easy way to separate ourselves from being critical of radfem influence; “JKR was always a right-wing bigot and that’s why she became indoctrinated with radfem bullshit. I’m not a right-wing bigot, therefore unlike her, I will never fall for radfem bullshit.” 

People who become radicalised, including those to become radfems, were not always irredeemable right-winger proto-Conservatives doomed for extremism and hatred, and that’s the point. The revisionist idea that she was always beyond salvaging erases how TERFs recruit people (especially vulnerable, impressionable people) in queer, progressive and liberal circles and how easily their dogwhistles can go undetected. The idea that JKR was already a closet right-winger from the get-go and therefore could never have been a good person is ultimately unhelpful because all it does it separate from the reality of how radfem doctrine spreads. TERFs sell their own toxic, harmful views packaged as progressive ideas as part of their strategy and that’s why their ideology is dangerous and requires constant vigilance to drive out. 

[littleabriel-blog]

All of this.

I know that for me JKR’s terfdom came out of nowhere. I was honestly shocked by her liking Tweets made by TERFs but wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt…like “maybe she doesn’t really understand”, etc, like that time Stephen King accidentally liked a Tweet of hers and then walked it back after people explained to him how harmful it was (Stephen King was a huge fan/advocate of the Harry Potter series). But then she got worse instead of better.

This ideology is very insidious and can sneak up on you, and TERFs in particular like to target vulnerable people, especially women who are abuse/assault survivors who might be in a place where they’d rather not interact with men until they’re feeling stronger. TERFs take those women and make sure those women never heal and get to a place where they can love and enjoy men’s company again. And it goes from misandry and snowballs into..well, we all know.

It’s important to recognized dogwhistles such as someone describing themselves as an Adult Human Female, Real Life Genetic Woman, Actual Woman, etc. or talking of how women are being “erased”. Rational Wiki has a whole glossary of terms and such that TERFs like to use, and it’s a very good study.

Don’t forget “gender critical” and “kink critical” who sound like they just want to uwu discuss gender roles and kink uwu but actually just want to dangle moral superiority over people like a cross. Here’s a good video I saw about it.

Oh hey it’s my video! 🥰🥰🥰
