Maybe it’s silly, but I love it when people react or respond to the shit I draw. So when I check the notes and there are no comments on the pic and the reblogs, it feels a bit disappointing.

Of course I love everyone who likes or reblogs my posts for doing so, just wish more people commented on them x:

Hey... Trap is a hugely offensive term to the trans community and I ask you please don't use it. Basically, it is inferring that anyone like me (trans-female) is just a male in disguise, which we obviously are not.

Well, first of all, I really appreciate the civility with which you approached me about this subject. It is unfortunately rare.

However I believe the issue comes from a misunderstanding of the definition of traps.A trap is basically a feminine male, who successfully tricks other males into believing that they are female. So this can apply to transvestites, but not to trans-women.

Saying that ‘trap’ is a transphobic word is internally inconsistent with trans identity, which (as far as I understand) asserts that trans-women, are not males. So saying that trap, of all words, is transphobic, implies that trans-women are in fact men.

Well, seen Thor: Ragnarok again yesterday, and unfortunately my opinion hasn’t changed. Movie’s kind of a disappointment :T

A pity, because it looked like it could’ve been interesting, but it ultimately ends up being a wasted opportunity.

And honestly, this movie should’ve been two films. Planet Hulk, followed by Thor: Ragnarok. The first more silly and lighthearted, like most of this film when on Sakaar, and the second being more serious, but with humorous elements, like this was trying to be when on Asgard.

A small list of pet-peeves: - People who call HR Giger’s alien “xenomorphs”. - People who say fucking a trap is not gay. - Rich, bigoted people who protest a product by buying and then destroying it. - People who claim that terms like ‘futa’, ‘trap’, or ‘herm’ are somehow transphobic. - Trans people who think they have a monopoly on “men wearing women’s clothing”.

More to come, probably P:

The main issue that I would take with your argument is that you seem to think gender is immutable, and that gender and sex are the same thing. Both of which are false. Also traps are 100% gay.

Well, technically until gender ideologues decided they will use gender as something separate from sex, the two words were synonymous. The idea that gender is somehow different from sex is a rather new idea.

Plus, what people in these circles refer to as gender is always so ambiguous. There is technically a new definition for it, but people still use it as interchangeable with sex, gender identity, and gender roles, depending on the context.

And the reason I treat gender as immutable is because it is, really :TOne can change the way they look, but they will never actually be the thing they want to be when it comes to gender.It’s not fair perhaps, but it is true. It’s simply a fact of reality.

Though I really wasn’t trying to start a discussion on this issue. This is what I have my personal blog, @jarvofgalen for.

I love your art and I actually talk with you, but you really shouldn't actively post things that you know are going to get a rise out of people, answer them with extremely long explanations, then when someone points out that they're going to leave for it, say that they won't be missed and you don't care for how others feel about your opinion. It's a little counterproductive to answer questions, go against others feelings on a matter and when you get criticism, say you don't care. Just a thought

The reason why I give detailed and often long winded responses to such questions, is because due to the complex nature of these issues I always try to make sure that I express myself in the most comprehensible and civil way.

However when someone’s response to a civil message is “you’re a bigot, so I’ll leave”, what can I say?I know I follow several artists with whom I disagree ideologically, and I don’t message them angrily or unfollow them for their opinion.I occasionally reblog such posts on my above mentioned personal blog, but I never make it personal, because these were ideas put out in the open, not aimed at me.

And no, I don’t think me caring about the ideological leanings of my followers would be in any way constructive. That’s not what this blog is about.

And on that note, I think I should stop flooding you guys’ dashboards with these messages for the day P:

I simply love the fact that we live in a world where the script to Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2 can exist.

I mean the plot is basically;    A man with no-face-and-red-eyes, a green skinned woman, a talking racoon, a walking plant, and a tattooed man, get hired by gold people to kill a tentacle monster in return for the green skinned woman’s blue, robot sister, but because they steal a couple of batteries from the gold people, they get shot down by space ships controlled from an arcade.    Then we find out that the father of the man-with-no-face-and-red-eyes was a planet, while the talking racoon and the walking plant get kidnapped by space pirates, and a blue man with a red mohawk, who then decides to help them after he kills his entire crew with a flying pen which he controls by whistling.    Then we find out that the planet had sex with many aliens, and how he wants to take over the world, and while he’s revealing his plan he also turns into David Hasselhoff.    So they fight the planet, which is actually a giant, glowing brain, in a battle during which the gold people come back, and the man-with-no-face-and-red-eyes turns into pac-man.    They then blow up the brain of the planet, and Sylvester Stallone shows up to mourn the blue man with the red mohawk.

That’s it. That’s the plot! Honestly, if someone asked me a decade ago, if this was the plot of a movie from 2017 or someone’s fever dream after they ate too much cheese, I’d have said it was actually something someone experienced during an LSD trip.

But, yeah. I actually love this movie, and in fact, I think it’s probably better than the first, with a few exceptions >.>

Also, the soundtrack is bad-ass, ...again, ...obviously.

Okay i see where you could be ignorant on certain sybjects but a real life "futa" can exist. It would literally be an intersex person and the intersec community DOES find these words (futa/herm) offensive so... :/

I do see your point, and technically you’re right; the description of futas can under the right circumstances apply to certain intersex people.

Though I’d still argue that there is a difference between intersex people and futas in general, and I would expect that intersex people’s reaction to the term would vary on a case by case basis. Although I’m not sure what morons would go around calling intersex people futas, really.

Also, appreciate putting the right foot forward by calling me ignorant instead of uninformed for example.
