@starlight-shadowbanned
Hello! This is @starlightomatic. I'm shadowbanned on main, which means several functions are restricted on that account, such as:
- Notifying people when I reblog from or tag them
- Showing my reblogs in the notes
- Messaging
I intend to use this blog to supplement those functions.
making my tags their own post.
also once you see a racially segregated street with your own eyes with a jersey wall running down the center to keep you separate you cannot unsee it. sorry
Insert obligatory disclaimer about my belief in peace and equality and condemnation of settler violence etc etc but it is genuinely fucking ridiculous how many important and historic Jewish locations we are absolutely forbidden from entering. It’s ridiculous how there already was a two state solution when Jordan gained independence and got 70% of the British mandate and how Jews are expected to just surrender our land and our rights to governments that build crap on top of our sacred sites and burial grounds. Whatever. Keep trying to erase our history and blot us out of existence cuz it’ll never work 💙 you can kick the Jews out of the land but the land will always remember us 💙
Jews founded the city of Hebron and now we're not allowed there at all. To a city WE created and lived in for thousands of years.
wdym we are not allowed there at all?? there is an established jewish community there, most of maarat hamachpela is open to us when it’s not ramadan, and the whole thing is open to us on chayei sarah. btw the parts open to us are not open to palestinians (the site is shared but segregated; they can access part of it most of the time, all of it on ramadan, and none of it on chayei sarah), and the palestinian shops on the main street of hebron were closed years ago. unless all of this has changed recently?

I’m not attracted to men
context: this guy on insta is going around asking women this, and it reminded me of the conversation in the tags of another post about the discrepancy between what women find attractive and what straight men think women find attractive (but this poll is for everyone, not just women).
i like the implication that finding men’s arms hot is equally absurd to finding oceans hot

Reminder that “tradwife” is not a synonym for “stay at home mom.” It’s specifically a part of an antifeminist, white supremacist, antiblack, antisemitic, lesbophobic, transphobic hate movement. The concept comes from Neo-Nazis who believe that Jews are trying to get white women to have children with Black men, stay single, date other women, or be trans men — instead of what they believe is white women’s “natural” role of being subservient to a white man. They believe this is because Jews are trying to orchestrate a white genocide by lowering white gentile birthrates and creating more mixed-race kids, and that they can fight this by marrying tradwives who will have lots of white babies.
Yes, I understand that language changes and that this word has shifted, but I think we should think twice before casually adopting Neo-Nazi terminology. I do think most people who use this term are describing a concept that is specifically regarding the gendered power dynamics of conservative antifeminist couples where the wife stays home, and is ideologically probably genuinely a descendant of the Neo-Nazi concept. So I understand, but I also don’t think we should be doing white supremacists’ work for them by normalizing their ideas even more.
Makes me headdesk when people talk about “Jewish tradwives” or “Black tradwives.” Definitionally neither of these can be a thing. Yes there can be conservative SAHMs who homestead in any community, obviously. But they are not tradwives.
@freemartini I’m talking about before tradwife influencers and before tiktok/reels. I used to lurk on Stormfront and on Nazi Tumblr in 2017/18 to “keep tabs on the enemy” to have a better sense of what we were up against so we could protect ourselves better (since I’m Jewish). That’s around when I was seeing this. It was only in the ensuing few years that the term “tradwife” escaped containment via memes and got known by the wider internet. And I think it’s only after that that tradwife influencers became a thing. Musical.ly didn’t even become tiktok until August 2018 which is already later than when I was doing this “research.”
@freemartini
I don’t mean, the aesthetic, but rather the term itself. When and where I was seeing it, there weren’t really any people in those spaces self-identifying as tradwives, rather it was a fantasy among Neo-Nazi young men.
Are you saying the term originates in Mormonism? It’s possible the Neo-Nazis are the ones who adopted it. I was assuming it was along the lines of other terms where “trad” is a symbol for something Nazi-aligned. Are there examples you know of where Mormons were using the word earlier?
Okay, that person responded and no they are not saying that the term originated in Mormonism. You can go ahead and read their response in the comments but all of it is either things I addressed in my post, or indications that they likely skimmed that post rather than reading it.
is/was loki a tumblr sexyman
yes
no
ok so therefore “a character played by a conventionally attractive A-list actor cannot be a sexyman” is incorrect.
To be fair - as someone who wasn’t on Tumblr at the time but still found/finds Loki attractive (and is ace) - I feel need to add some stuff.
1 - Loki was actor Tom Hiddleston’s first major role. (Fun fact: He originally auditioned to be Thor)
2 - I don’t think Tom was originally thought to be conventionally attractive. When the character was first introduced but especially in The Avengers (2012) a lot of male fans and critics were surprised by how many female fans preferred him to the more stereotypically masculine actors.
I would say he is the template for all Tumblr Sexymen
The Tumblr sexyman can be anyone - animated or real - but cannot be someone who fits into the idea of what cis, straight men THINK women consider attractive.
Thor - for example - would be considered sexy by patriarchal standards but isn’t a Tumblr Sexyman.
The villain from the Osmosis Jones movie? Clearly made to be sexual, isn’t conventionally attractive. Is a Tumblr Sexyman. Same with the pollution monster from Ferngully.
Does that make sense? Now for the finalists
I wouldn’t classify Ryland Grace as Sexyman ™ . I can absolutely see the appeal - but Ryan Reynolds has always been considered sexually attractive by the patriarchy.
Senshi, in the English dub, has the benefit of being voiced by SungWon Cho - whose voice many people find attractive and is probably the main appeal.
Tenna …just fits the aesthetic. I don’t know anything about the character but yes, that’s a SexymanTM on sight.
Ryan Gosling (not Reynolds) hasn’t always been considered attractive by the patriarchy — I think he’s much more of an archetype of what women find attractive than what men think women find attractive. Some of his big roles (The Notebook, the Barbie movie) were movies “for women.” In fact the director of The Notebook cast him because he thought he wasn’t attractive:

Do you have matching profile pictures with someone on Tumblr?
Do you have matching profile pictures with someone on Tumblr?
Yes
No
Not that I’m aware of. But I suppose it’s possible someone else on here played the card game Munchkin in the early 2000s, including its urban fantasy/goth spin-off Munchkin Bites and decided to define their whole personality by the 1 Go Up a Level card that said “toughen yourself with bad fiction”
I'd like to ask now that the show has concluded: what is The Amazing Digital Circus about?
imagine if you got forced into a world with no context as to how it operated, having a body and name forced onto you without your consent or approval, and being told to do simple repetitive tasks until you one day lost consciousness, without ever being told why. wouldn't that be fucked up. anyway love is the answer
Bruh, that's just life. Get with the game. Min-max your whimsy.
whoa that's crazy someone should make a metaphor about that or something
this doesn’t explain why one of the characters is a set of dentures with eyes 😭
have you ever heard of american writer harlan ellison
yes! but have not read any of his work
its crazy that megan thee stallion is not considered a queer artist by some people. the woman is not shy about the fact that she finds women attractive and likes having sex with them. she references it pretty frequently in her music, she made a whole song about enjoying having threesomes with a woman and a man, she made a Jennifer's Body-themed music video, she had Victoria Monét full riding her thigh on stage at a coachella, and there's literally a video of a lesbian interviewing glorilla at a party & asking who she would date if she was queer and her immediate response is "megan. megan like girls!" and then megan turns around and immediately starts flirting with the interviewer. i don't know what more you want. that woman is Bi Sexual and we should all be thankful every day for that. bi women are still bi when they wanna fuck men too you know. the fucking of men is also done bisexually.
someone PLEASE call the gay people police !!!!!!! a queer woman of color is talking about being horny for women guys please we NEED to stop this quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does a bi woman sexualizing women in her music & wanting an FMF threesome make her a gay icon
yes
veritably
indubitably
its a requirement actually
really good tags so far. also. just have to make this point:
meg's music in general is frequently very horny. when she includes her attraction to women in her music its sexual because when she includes her attraction to men in her music its sexual. she's a sexually explicit artist. you know. "your honor i'm a freak bitch handcuffs leashes" "hoes tryna get picked, i'm just tryna get dick" "mandatory that i get the head but no guarantees on the penetration" literally references pimping out men in her music all the time 1/2 of Wet Ass Pussy herself.
she very much depicts herself as a sexual subject and sexual actor in her music, someone who desires and chooses to act upon those desires with confidence and skill. and given how much intense misogynoiristic hate she gets from cishet men i think it should be very very obvious she's not faking being into women to get cis male approval!
so to assume that her talking about being sexually attracted to women and faking wanting a threesome with a man and a woman and faking having had and planning to continue having sex with women is her performing fake bisexuality to pander to straight men is laughable. and also disgustingly biphobic and racist. as with the original post, its very much an intersection of biphobia and anti-Blackness; there is no way for her to be a "good queer icon" to such people as shown above. this whole post could apply to Cardi B or any number of Black mspec artists, or just queer Black artists in general.
so the woman who did the “oh ferran oh ferran” audio got interviewed by various tv stations and the comments on every single video are full of men going “what if a man said this about a woman!!!” WELL THEN IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF CONTEXT ON HOW GENDERED POWER DYNAMICS AFFECT SEXUALITY WOULDN’T IT?
what if the moon was made of cheese. what if peepee poo
also it’s not that they actually think it was inappropriate or harmful. they’re just annoyed they can’t get away with the ways they talk about women.
