Plural blog for us. Expect all sorts of things to get reblogged and the like

writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

[mars-hollow]

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

[emrakulsstrongestkitty]

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is

[lunaticchimaera]

"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."

Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?

Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

[ironmyrmidon]

This really is the LGBT "community" in a nutshell. They build this community out of our bones and then get mad at us for not liking it.

[pocketmaomao]

all i'm hearing is that TME ppl are incapable of putting in the bare minimum effort that warner brothers did.

like its sooo not hard to say "Yeah this was fucked up lets not glorify this it happened lets learn from it snd never do it again." but noooo the mfer named sock over there HAS to give epstein island wizard lady money for the new hbo series merch because muh childhood.

People who haven't seen Madoka Magica might not know this, but both the characters Mami and Homura are magical girls who use guns as weapons. But while Mami's gun are magical, Homura's are literally just normal guns she stole from the government.

[open-sketchbook]

i really really love the magical muskets for a really specific reason, which is that blackpowder guns are way older than people think and should 100% be treated with similar mythological weight to swords and spears and stuff at this point, and they should have equal prominence in generic fantasy fiction stuff.

lemme put it this way; european longswords and european cannons are siblings. they emerged at basically the same time in the early 1300s, and when the longsword was at its peak use in the mid-1400s, the musket was beginning to proliferate.

likewise, the 'modern' style of katana only started being made in the century leading up to the introduction of muskets to Japan; in fact, the reason the katana became The Samurai Sword was because it was a small practical blade you could wear while you carried a gun.

if you can picture your setting having a sword you can use with two hands, then you should have hand cannons. if your knights have full plate, then there should be matchlocks. if you have a magical girl with a sabre, then you should have magical girls with flintlocks.

OP: This is the first time I've seen the Yellow River's sediment discharge with my own eyes.

[jingyuanyuan]

There's a Chinese meme that the Yellow River doesn't need rituals to present sacrifices because if it's hungry it'll come onto the shore and eat the sacrifices itself.

[asmuchasidliketo]

#some netizens also say chinese people like unification because only a powerful unified dynasty can survive the yellow river and sometimes #also the chang jiang when they decide to flood and change directions and kill and displace millions #also only large dynasties have the resources to do hydroengineering to try and control the yellow river #yellow river be like: if you don't hydroengineer you die #but if you do you might also die heehee #“we call these our mother rivers not because they are gentle but because we are too scared” tags on above post

oh my god??

[cryoverkiltmilk]

People talk about how the Great Lakes are deadly because they are uncaring, but the Yellow River is literally out to get everyone.

having VR sex and she's hitting my amazing digital cervix

[atelier-tamamoland]

sixpencee got less hate for straight-up admitting to owning a child slave than I do for saying children shouldn't be treated as property

[atelier-tamamoland]

like i'll say "parents should not be able to unilaterally override their child's consent" and some dipshit will see the word consent and the smoke from the hollowed-out crater that used to be their critical thinking skills will immediately coalesce into a message in my ask box calling me a pedo. no fucking hope for any of you

[atelier-tamamoland]

which I say, by the way, because one of my closest friends was able to be effectively disappeared off the face of the earth and sent into the woods to be sexually abused and tortured into being straight due to parents effectively owning their children as property. if you are a minor your consent simply does not actually matter - whether you get vaccinated, whether you get to go to school, whether people get to hug touch you, what you wear, how your hair is cut, what your hobbies are, whether you get to have friends, and yes, whether you want to be sent to a torture camp in the woods or not - your consent is entirely meaningless because your parents can simply override it, and there's fuckall you can do about it, because you aren't a person, you're just property. the family dog has more protections against being abused than children do

but! if you ever point this out you get called you a rapist

[hemipenal-system]

some of you dont actually love trans women you just want to fuck them. you’re not an ally you just have unresolved futanari fantasies

[hemipenal-system]

ok i made that other post private bc that guy had an “oh im the asshole here arent i” moment but i do still wanna talk about that a bit

sexual desire isn’t allyship and never has been. not least because it means as soon as a trans woman isn’t attractive or sexually available to you, you will stop caring about her if you frame your desire to get topped* by her as supporting her

*because it’s always getting topped. no one ever wants to top the trans girl. hmm i wonder why

[hemipenal-system]

see the thing is that once you actually do believe that trans women and cis women are more similar than different everything sorta locks in. in this case, it's the idea that objectification and sexual attraction aren't any meaningful support for trans women, the same way they aren't for cis women. remember that trend a couple months ago with like, the guys who performatively carried around feminist literature to try to make themselves seem safe and approachable to women to try to get laid? it's kinda like that. you have to actually be a (trans)feminist you can't just do it for the sex

[faux-friend]

When a black person states that something you did was racist, chill the fuck out. Its annoying dealing with you panicking trying to dissociate yourself from racism. If you're not black, black people already assume youve said nigga or its variant at least once in your life. If they're interacting with you and bringing something up, its because they want you to stop doing that so they can still interact with you(if ur already friends)

You WILL be racist. You WILL do racist things. You have ALREADY done both. Learn and move on. There's no ideological purity you can hold on to, i promise. Proving you can take the criticism without making it a big deal and practice what you preach is better than any clean slate.

Be the kind of person black people don't have to gamble on. Shut up and lock in

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

reminder that this is your failing and it's your responsibility to fix it, not the people who actually suffer because of the racism you perpetuate.

this is a great way to let people know that you are not safe to talk to, the entitlement is just fucking staggering.

[charmcoin]

quite callous how the general societal reaction to allegations of child abuse increasing in frequency seems to have been "all these millions of people are lying and faking on the internet for clout, parents are the only real protectors for children" instead of "perhaps there is something wrong structurally with how we treat children"

[charmcoin]

"why are millennials/gen z/etc going no contact with their parents?" is really not a difficult question to answer

Hey guys, June 5th is coming up, and you know what that means: the anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s death! So don’t forget to set aside some time with your toilet to spiritually piss on his grave

[0v9]

Happy deathiversery to Ronald Reagan! Fuck you and everything you stood for!

[homunculus-argument]

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.

"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

[talesfromtreatment]

Hell, half the time you don't even need to smuggle. You just show mama cat a little squirming squeaky fluffy jellybean and she's like "oh shit I totally forgot that one thanks!"

We'd get litters in at the shelter sometimes where there'd be like four kittens 6 weeks old and a random 2 week old and we'd all be standing there going "Mom, you stole that one. That's not yours." And mama cat is like "fuck you, finders keepers"

[naamahdarling]

Humans do this too.

And it's beautiful.

Every person who has picked up a foundling kitten and stuffed them in their pocket to keep.

And every human being who has invited a baby into their home. Including the gay man who found a baby on a subway platform, and adopted him to raise with his partner. (The baby is now 25 and thriving. This is one of my favorite stories. 25 years ago a judge quietly said to a gay man "If you guys want this baby, I can make it happen. Just say the word.")

Hormonal? Every emotion, every single one, is primal, is real, and is hormonal.

Baby = success. More baby = more success. Love is real.

[caydencrypted]

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

[caydencrypted]

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world
