The thing about those posts I’ve seen about Tumblr users having an odd habit of using other people’s posts criticizing a(n applicable) bigoted behavior as a confessional to try and cleanse them of their sins is like. They’re all missing the part that they objectively should be embarrassed about the behavior in the first place.

[nekrotiize]

Like, yes, it’s supremely annoying and deeply weird how people will just tell on themselves on this site SO FUCKING HARD if you criticize the way no one on here listens to Black music. It’s fucked up how white liberals will treat every nearby brown person like their pastor.

But like, they should be embarrassed about the fact the post applies to them. They really should be embarrassed that they like Harry Potter in 2025. And frankly, I don’t think the confessional thing is an innocent behavior. It’s white tears again. They start crying to you about how not being racist is actually super difficult for them, and when you call them on their excuses being excuses, they immediately heel turn and make you out to be an aggressor, unreasonable, an extremist, a threat. There’s a playbook here. We can’t just be telling them it’s okay.

Like you have to realize, when white people are going onto posts criticizing them for not doing even the most minimal engagement with Black culture by saying listening to rap is just hard for them because they have auditory processing disorder or trauma or whatever, they are positioning themselves as a victim. They are positioning themselves as THE victim, even. They are trying to make themselves out to be the most oppressed person in the room. Other racists recognize this play on a subconscious level and dogpile you when you do not play along. That’s how this shit has gone for time immemorial. You can’t just be saying “it’s okay”.

Canada's Internet Censorship Bill S209

Bill S-209 is 'An Act to restrict young persons’ online access to pornographic material', titled that by the Senator who sponsored it in the Senate.

note: Government laws in Canada are more commonly introduced by the House of Commons but the Senate has the same power. MPs in the House are elected directly by citizens while Senators are appointed by Prime Ministers. Bills from the Senate start with 'S' while bills from the House of Commons start with 'C'. Both parties need to agree on the contents of a bill before it passes into law.

This bill is similar to what's happening with KOSA/SCREEN in the US, OSA in the UK, and even Mastercard/Visa where "protecting the children" is being used as an excuse to level bans of 'pornographic material' online, propose the use of AI to somehow determine people's age to restrict their access to the internet, and force people to submit government ID and/or biometric data in order to "verify their age".

Don't be mistaken, this is a censorship bill. This is not about actually protecting children, this is not about reducing dangerous working conditions within the porn industry, this is not about making the internet safer. This is nothing other than allowing governments to control what you can and can't see online.

But porn is bad! Why shouldn't it be banned?

I'm just going to let @roach-works explain since they did it way better than I can: someone got really mad at me for being pro-pornography.

Also, banning 'pornographic material' is not only extremely broad, it is also an extremely slippery slope, because what always comes next is extending that ban to LGBTQ+ content, sexual or not. Censorship bills need to be stopped early, before it gets to that point.

What can I do to help?

There's a change.org petition floating around but if you're Canadian, you're better off directing your energy to call or write to your Member of Parliament to express your concern.

Find your MP.

calling your MP is still the most effective

written letters are more effective than emails but I'd recommend both

I was thinking and it’s so fucking weird just how much it seems like butches are constantly being told it is Ok to be feminine or engage with ~traditionally feminine~ things (whatever the actual fuck that is). that’s what a lot of us have been raised being told exactly to do and get punished horrifically for failing to do.

I’m tired of being told it’s ok to be feminine, I know it is. being feminine growing up was a defense for me and never felt right. now I get to do what is freeing for me. I don’t think you people realize that reminding butches that we can be feminine isn’t the radical statement you think it is.
