The popularity of the slow burn fic trope in the LGBTQ community is a direct reflection of the persisting need to side-step every direct confrontation of your romantic/sexual feelings for the sake of your own survival. This coping tactic of avoidance of clear communication, although hindering, becomes familiar and homely when it is continuously associated with stories we ourselves relate to and reflects our own experience of never feeling safe enough to fearlessly barge into relationships. In this essay I will

hey op this is a really hot take but you’re right and you should scream it

thefatfuck-irl

why do i keep seeing “jokes” like “lol if you’re ‘touch starved’ you’re just horny lmao”

like

it’s not a sexual thing and is actually pretty important since humans are social creatures

“Human touch has been proven to be vital to emotional, psychological, and physical growth in infants and to some extent in older children and adults.”

“Skin hunger is your body’s reaction to lack of physical touch and it affects an increasing number of Americans while being a non existent phenomenon in more touch-happy countries like France. The problem that we’re learning is that without skin-to-skin touch (might we add that it doesn’t have to be sexual), your body doesn’t produce the hormone oxytocin. Without that natural chemical, adults are more susceptible to depression and infants can have developmental problems or even die.”

“Hugs have also been shown to increase the production of oxytocin in humans; this is the hormone that positively influences our bonding and nurturing behaviors.”

Uh

One of my clinical instructors told me that most people need seventeen touches a day to feel nurtured.

austerejester

Does it have to be human touch or is this why I subject my poor dog to being picked up and cuddled at random throughout the day? Because Its been 84 years since I physically touched another living human with my skin

Pets count!

humans are social creatures who bond well with other social creatures so ya pets count

Touch starved people often benefit from massage therapy, manicures, getting their hair done, social dance, and team sports. It doesn’t have to be intense and intimate!

i hold hands with all my friends while we walk to class and give high-fives and fistbumps to everyone in the hallways, i greet everyone i know personally with a hug! it really helps to boost my mood, and my friends (who have the same problem) too

Monk: You are both beautifully infuriating. Furbolg Druid: Thank you. Human Duid (Who had been raised by furbolgs): Papa Elder, I don’t think that was a compliment. Furbolg Druid: Oh. How dare you!?

Ive watched about 30 mutuals legitimately commit social suicide by either:

Exposing dirty ass fetishes that their followers did not like

Shoot their shots @ other blogs that bashed them and got their followers to swarm them

Few just deadass deleted their accounts

Others moved to twitter and pixart or whatever

One figured out that his faceless porn blog was being followed by his irl brother who didn’t know who the owner of the blog was cause he was faceless until the brother posted a full body and face nude since “tumblr is dying anyway” and recognized him

One “lesbian” artist came out straight and lied about being abused for lesbians and gays to give her sympathy money

One asked me where I lived and idk wtf they were planning with that info and thats not even all of what Ive seen in just the few times Ive logged in periodically since the 10th.

Im entirely sure more shit went down than I was able to catch too so if after all that it was just a prank… 🙃

PAY ATTENTION! This is how you weed out the men who deserve your time and the ones that don’t. These dudes are literally telling you who they are, but y'all refuse to listen. Your safety comes first.

dynastylnoire

I’m in a FB group where dudes 30 and older were having full tantrums over this post. These are the same guys that admit:

Not deleting nudes post break up

Not believing when women that were sexually assaulted

Not believing sex with a partner that is sleeping is rape

Etc.

Please do not date people that take issue with your protecting yourself.

adreamdeferred

i deadass took a picture of my dates license and sent to my homegirls in the gc. and turned on my location. yea you cool but it’s always about me and my safety.

dandridgegirl

Men who aren’t trash should already know this is commonplace. One of my last dates even offered to take a picture together for my safety text.

furbytheminx

Men who get mad when women try to protect themselves are just telling on themselves, nothing more.

All you people out there talking about “spreading my private information” like you don’t drive around with your liscense plate out there for everyone and their mom to see all day every day. Sit down. Shut up. She didn’t ask for your social security number you absolute acorn. Your plates are public knowledge.

No sex please, we’re online

It’s not just Tumblr, people. This shit is getting ridiculous.

lunariagold-deactivated20230802

Of course it’s not Tumblr! They came for Craigslist personals first because that’s the oldest trick in the book: Sneakily taking down the ‘perverts’ under the guise of vague, high morality goals and working slowly up from the bottom, picking off larger and larger targets. Few people cared about CL because of the stereotype of scary unwashed creeps trawling for sex online. That wasn’t so familiar or cute so it was fair game.

Tumblr is biting at the ‘artists’ heels and suddenly there is a bit more noise, because artists aren’t supposed to be treated like shit, are they? However even now the hair-splitting over what’s porn and therefore garbage and not-art shows that attitudes are not so different. It’s still the same divisive, dangerous us v.s. them mentality that is so easily exploited.

This is why when people tell me I shouldn’t worry about this because ‘my art isn’t porn anyway’ it makes me angry. It means so much more than drawings or a silly blog. This is about people being slowly phased out of their freedoms, rights and agency. History has shown time and time again that whenever power wants to make a crushing move backwards, it comes for what it declares ‘obscene’ first. People are raised to be scared and ignorant of sex so it’s an easy gateway. When they come cracking down on sex is when we most need to pay very close attention. They are not protecting us.

earlgraytay

Yeah. This isn’t about whether *you*, specifically, don’t want NSFW content shoved in front of your eyeballs, it’s about whether the people who want to see NSFW content have the right to see it *at all*.

mercurialmalcontent

It’s also about what counts as ‘nsfw’ or ‘pornographic’ content. The article hints at it but doesn’t state it directly, but LGBT content - any LGBT content, even the most G-rated or strictly informative kind - is usually an early target in the name of ‘cleaning up’ a website. (YouTube, for example, is already guilty of doing this.)

thor ragnarok came out a year ago but i think we havent talked enough about how genuinely funny it is that loki tried to put his father, the ruler of asgard and protector of the 9 realms, in a fucking retirement center in new york city, or the fact that the minute loki tried to find odin at said fucking retirement center, its immediately demolished and his delusional elderly god-father is now on the loose anywhere in the galaxy
