Am I going nuts or do people just like to append charges of antisemitism onto things they already dislike as a gotcha? It's a dunk on Taylor's terrible new album that one of her designers made a badly shaped necklace, it's a dunk on the terf wizard books that the goblins suck, it's a dunk on a youtuber you don't like when they make a joke about being accused of being a lizard- it's just an extra thing, a bonus thing. I've seen so much more discourse about this shit than, say, the young republicans chat- I get that there's not much more to say about it than "Gross," but god, it makes discourse about the stupid necklace feel so disingenuous.

When discussing the "male" and "female" policy attempts please, please do not forget intersex people in your trans and nonbinary dialogue. Many of us identify as intersex, an identity that is already controversial. Please do not reinforce a binary while trying to combat a different binary. Please.

are they an elf?

are they a mage?

are they smart / intelligent?

are they snarky or sassy?

are they grumpy?

are they likely to betray me?

do they put their feet on the table?

are they touch starved?

are they gender?

the points you get, the higher the chance of simping

the way that it doesn’t just make me sad but angry that idols are expected to apologize not just for disappointing fans and their members but for harming them by so much as even having a dating rumor bc is it that bad they found love? or something that could become that? is it that bad for the people you supposedly love and support to be happy? yes I know the industry basically runs on the parasocial relationships but isn’t it high time to recognize that someone else’s happiness is not an attempt to ruin yours? that even if it is painful or difficult for you, that is not the responsibility of the idol. they should not need to apologize for their own happiness and events within their personal life which half the time come out as leaks (read: invasions of their privacy) rather than on their own time. and to go as far as to say it implies they don’t deserve their job or should leave their group… artists experiencing things in life? the emotions of affection and infatuation and love and endearment and everything else that comes with a romantic relationship? that’s only going to give them the capacity to create greater and more enriched art. i’m not saying they’re in a relationship to do (and I certainly hope not) but if you need any reason at all to refrain from causing these idols harm in the way you claim their happiness has so deeply harmed and disappointed you, then take it as them living. that life needs art and art needs life.

no cap being a Catholic deeply interested in philosophy can be such a blessing because you convince everyone around you you’ve experienced and learned so much from your own personal struggles when in fact you just read too much about Saint Augustine as a 16 year old pear thief
