#predator mention

[littlejowo]

Unfriendly reminder that if you compare someone's trauma to cartoons, you're insensitive as hell and don't care about survivors or victims! And you shelter predators in your spaces by watering down serious terminology that is supposed to be reserved for discussing the abuse against real people! If nobody knows whether you're talking about cartoons/fics/etc or real life, that's a problem!

Do you enjoy power fantasies of hunting down and cannibalising predators? Are you curious what a song described as “Hyperpop-metal” and “murder pop” could possible sound like?

Are you down to clown?

Re: my last ask, while I do think the person who responded was overly harsh (and sure did assume a lot about me), I do see their point that I may have overgeneralized. So, a revision:

Many TERFs seem to think trans women are predatory for existing in women's spaces, but they often don't believe that of trans men existing in men's spaces, because a lot of them think that only amabs can be predators. I am saying this as a trans man who often uses men's bathrooms. This is not me saying that all TERFs think like this, and this is saying nothing of TEHMs, who in my experience often view trans men as predatory. I'm simply pointing out a common TERF hypocrisy.

I’m cis so if I say anything that’s over the line please do tell me to shut up but:

Yeah they deffo do call trans men predatory and that shows you they do view you differently to cis women, even though they claim you’re no different, because they very rarely say anything about predatory cis women. They say cis women can’t rape but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them imply a trans man is a rapist before now tbf.

They like to make trans people in general out to be perverts tbh. Most of their focus tends to be on trans women, but a lot of them deffo do the same shit to trans men (and nonbinary folk) too.

Concept for a Predator prequel/soft reboot:

With the same premise of “Predators” (2010), the movie focuses on a group of human warriors kidnapped by the Yautja and placed inside a game reserve to be hunted for sport. The twist is that this movie takes place in the 1700s, making the focus of this movie on ancient warriors. Less gunfights, more close quarters combat. 

The group consists of:

1) Michael Fassbender, who is playing a Prussian military officer

2) Kento Yamazaki, who is playing a Japanese samurai

3) Jared Leto, who is playing a French Musketeer 

4) Danai Gurira, who is playing a Dahomey Amazon (the real-life inspiration for Black Panther’s Dora Milaje)

5) Cliff Curtis, who is playing a Maori warrior 

6) Martin Sensmeier, who is playing a Comanche warrior

7) Daniel Wu, who is playing a Qing Dynasty warrior

8) Rodrigo Santoro, who is playing a Portuguese military officer stationed in Colonial Brazil 

9) Ivana Baquero, who is playing a Spanish pirate operating in the Caribbean

10) Mena Massoud, who is playing an Ottoman Empire Janissary 

Side note: To ensure the ten warriors can work together, the Yautja place implants in their brains so they can understand each other.

(1)While there could be predators on each side of the discourse, antis don't notice for some reason that there are lots of them over at their side because, come on - of course those people wouldn't like fictional gross stuff like age gap ships. Why would they when there are unassuming real life minors on the anti side who are willing to divulge their trauma and their personal information to strangers and believes that fictional taste can gauge morals. Why would they go for the fake when there's

(2) real kids right there? And the so called "pure and moral" adults who claim to want to "protect" minors don't teach them what's right and even sends them towards danger in the name of protecting fictional kids.

See, this is the real danger of anti positions. Beyond it just making for a shitty fandom experience to have to be hypervigilant about the content you enjoy consume and produce, it just primes people to believe that predators are easy to spot.

“This person likes x content, so of course they’re a predator” naturally - and honestly probably unconsciously - primes people to simultaneously believe, “And that person speaks out against x content, so they must not be a predator.”

Predators thrive in environments where their abuse and intentions can be obfuscated, where they can manipulate people and gain their trust. When a community is fostered based on paying lipservice and not actual beliefs and action, it’s so, so easy for the wrong types of people to worm their way to the top and take advantage of whatever audience they end up with.

The focus on fictional shit being the Worst of the Worst and the Main Thing that decides what type of person you are, and holding up paying lip service to anti ideals as the main marker of a Trustworthy person is exactly how you end up with the dogwives and ollie’s of the world - where not even the revelation of their horrific acts against real actual people is enough to stop antis from coddling them and even blaming their actual real life victim.

Most predators of the grooming variety will make you feel safe, they’ll lovebomb, they’ll share your interests with you or get you into theirs, they’ll be your friend, they’ll be someone you feel like you can trust, because that’s how grooming actually works. It’s slow and gradual and based on building trust so that you become compliant to what they want from you, because they’ll have made themself someone you feel like has your best interests at heart. They mold you into someone who wants to please them, no matter what.

It’s so much more insidious than “they like the Wrong fiction”, and it terrifies me that they don’t know or recognize this.

I dont trust adult antis most of the time, too many of them turned out to be actual predators who were grooming children under the guise of being an anti.
