"Humans aren't special, they're just apes that got lucky and made fire."

Just apes? Fuck you, apes and all primates are cool as shit. The intelligence that primates display is fucking awesome to witness, and that includes humans. The stereotype of apes being nothing but violent monsters is absurd and immature. Shove your misanthropy and primate-hating up your tail hole.

One of my small pet peeves when it comes to toyhouse is people who use the most obnoxious hard-to-see-the-character watermark. Like I get it. I understand. You don't want things reposted/stolen, but it is ridiculously hard to see the character youre showing off when you have the most obscuring watermark covering everything up. Like sure, have the watermark, thats fine. But find a way where it doesn't make it impossible to see the stinkin thing

So those "how to not fanonize a character" and "fanon is all awful annoying characterizations" and all those posts/"guides" are really starting to sound like those "how to no write a MaRY sUE!!!" guides and warnings from the early 2010s and stuff

It's kinda pissing me off

You're starting to sound way too similar to the "fans" that like to grill people on canon to make sure they are REAL FANS™

oh god finally someone else who hates 'doll' as a pet name😭 thought i was the only one who didnt see the appeal

Mm I was in a fandom where it was ridiculously overused in fics by a specific character and now I'm like 💀 gag.

In the notes of that post someone was listing different cultures views of left handedness and one that struck me was that they claimed Zulus burnt children's hands in hot water if they were left handed.

Now I dont know everything about every south african peoples but im 99% sure a culture which where shield and spear warfare and agriculture was important would not want to stop people from using both of their hands.

So I looked it up and found an article that mentioned this and linked to a paper. So I looked in the paper ctrl+F and searched Zulu... nothing. The closest was Zuni, who are a Native American tribe. Okay so maybe the author of the article Zuni and Zulu mixed up? Nope there's nothing about scalding peoples hands in regards to the Zuni either, in fact the Zuni believe the left side of the body to be the wise and intelligent side.

So I searched water... nothing. I searched burn... nothing. Its as if the writer of this article, a white woman, just made it up and thought that no one would look at the paper she looked at. Which people didn't do of course because people see "Zulu" and think "savages" and so can believe something like that without question.

I just think that if you have a giant flashing tcesters fuck off gif under your turtle fanart, you are actually not doing anything meaningful to dissuade undesirables from engaging with your content as much as you are reminding everyone who looks at your post of the hypothetical thought crimes other people are committing with those characters when most of us I think would just prefer to, like... Not? So good job?
