also stop thanking people for “being civil and kind” over byler bc 9 outta 10 times if they talk anymore it sounds like this bs

Basically the whole Tofu the snake situation in a nutshell: "My snake is clearly showing signs of being afraid of Markiplier! I'm going to keep showing him Markiplier because his reactions are funny." This is abuse. Btw. Her putting the cutout of Mark's face in Tofu's enclosure, his safe space, was abuse. Continuing to monetize her pet snake's fear, after "addressing" the situation, is abuse, and clearly she doesn't care at all.

I don't want to talk about this situation anymore on here because I want this blog to be a safe space, but this situation is seriously getting out of hand. Especially considering she just made another video on it. I haven't watched it, so correct me if I'm wrong, but she's just exploiting Tofu for more views.

She doesn't get that what people are mad about isn't her history of animal abuse. She's trying. I get it. It's the fact that she knows this isn't good for her snake, and she keeps doing it. She released more Tofu vs Markiplier videos after addressing the situation. If she really cared about Tofu's wellbeing, she would stop.

gender is a social construct unless you're non-binary then its very strict and you cant call yourself anything that confuses me personally especially if it has anything to do with using terms like "men" or "women" because those are static identities non-binary people should never touch especially if they use them "contradictorily" with other labels.

non-binary people are only valid if their identities don't make me cringe or uncomfortable.

explain your identity to me right now so i can determine if you belong in the spaces you already existed in before I knew you.

yes I know you're a miniscule percentile but you confuse me so you're dangerous and need to be exiled and anyone who doesn't invalidate you is a bigot who hates REAL gay people.

other people's transphobia is because of non-binary people mingling in gay crowds I don't think they're binary enough for.

gender segregation is good.

non-binary people who refuse gender segregation are bigots.

we will get rid of transphobia for good if we just trim a few more branches and make ourselves neat and tidy.

I hate how people think that system origins will dictate how a system functions

People tend to think traumagenic means some form of disordered-ness, having dissociation, amnesia, splitting, etc.

And people tend to think endogenic means nothing disordering at all, perfect memory, being able to form headmates at will, no issues whatsoever

When neither of those are the case, at all. Even if we push aside the fact that endogenic systems can be disordered as well as have CDDs, that doesn't mean anything in the fact that they can experience amnesia, dissociation, plainly just trouble existing due to being a system. Even ones purposefully created! Just because you created a system, doesn't mean everything will be just peachy. The only thing you're doing is making a separate being to live with you, which can cause a lot of struggles

And traumagenic systems can be completely non-disordered, they can be what you'd imagine an endogenic system to be like, because the only thing separating the two is origin

By setting these ideas within the plural community, it's only further separating traumagenic and endogenic systems, which, yes, while I believe that endogenic and traumagenic systems should have their own spaces, I don't believe that we as a community should further the idea that we're nothing alike, when that's really not the case.

An endogenic system that has amnesia might believe they're actually traumagenic due to how the community makes it out to be, same with a traumagenic system, one that has no disordering features might believe they're endogenic because they fit the standard for it

And while that's not the worst thing in the world, it's not good either.

I just really feel like we should be lessening the stereotyping that goes on within the system community, it's only going to cause more issues and infighting in the long run

Mun Rant about Adult RPer’s Interacting w/ Minors in an Adult Themed Fandom (namely Hellaverse)

//imma be real a moment folks and address what that I’ve noticed in recent days and my stance on it:

//If you are an adult in the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss community, there is no business in interacting with minors, let alone inviting them to interact on your RP blog. On Prime the show is 16+, but I do not believe it to be reasonable to bring them into the adult spaced community. The minors already have their own groups within the rpc and have no business to try interacting with the adults. Inviting them in is risky to not only the minors, but you and your other rp partners.

//another thing that honestly baffles me as to why an adult would state that minors are welcome to rp/interact, but then also state or imply that nsft content such as severe violence & sex are going to be present on the blog for those that are 18+? It’s still exposing minors knowingly on the dash to nsft. It’s literally providing it to them.

//maybe it’s cultural differences because adults in some places are as young as 16/17. However Tumblr is a US site with rules that function under US law, which to be a legal adult must be 18+, so that’s just basic common sense to follow the sites rules ya know? But recently I’ve seen 21+ blogs stating in rules that they are open to rping with minors and that nsft content (both violent & sexual) is also present on the same blog with other adults. It’s just a seriously bad idea and is an open door for those minors to get into adult spaces.

//There’s already enough anons harassing the adult rpc in Hellaverse. We don’t need an open back door situation where minors are looking at other adult rp blogs through one “minor welcoming” adult blog, and to start coming in on anon to interact with the rest of the adults. Don’t give them that streamlined access and ruin it for the rest of us.

The terms misogynoir, lesbophobia and trans-misogyny highlight 2 forms of bigotry and how they intersect with each other to create one form of bigotry. They don't specifically describe 2 forms of systematic oppression and how they intersect with each other to create one form of oppression.

For example "merrian webster" defines the term misogynoir as follows: "Hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against Black women" This definition only requires the intersection of 2 forms of bigotry. In the case of misogynoir the bigotry against people for being women and the bigotry against people for being black create one form of bigotry together. They didn't write in the definition the forms of bigotry need to be systematic.

Also transandrophobia does indeed exist. Trans men OFTEN get discriminated against on the basis of their manhood and transness together. For example some people discriminate against trans men on the basis of them transitioning to the "evil gender." This is discrimination against them for their manhood by calling manhood evil and discrimination against them for transitioning. This fits the criteria for transandrophobia. This example denies your claim, that transmisandry/transandrophobia can't exist.

Also misandry sometimes is a structural force in some cases, which means it exists. Especially towards men who are disadvantaged like trans men. For example the written in the law discrimination of male victims/survivors of SA/CSA in MANY COUNTRIES is misandristic.

This means transmisandry/transandrophobia exists, even according to your definition of it being an intersection of 2 systemic forms of oppression, which creates one form of oppression, which isn't it's real definition by the way. Because sometimes misandry affects some men structurally obviously not nearly to the extent misogyny affects women structurally, but you get my point.

Also this isn't MRA shit, which makes trans men hate trans women. It's the reality of what trans men live through.

Please don't deny the reality of trans men with your own bigoted view of the world. You yourself are going down a harmful pipeline of radical feminism. I hope you can one day get out of that pipeline.

Rant/Vent CW

Fully believe everyone is kinda,, idk being overly mean and entitled about 2BTR. I don't care what you think is going to happen in the movie, or if you even care. All I see is people throwing it under the bus and all we have as a teaser and a trailer that really didn't tell us very much (spoilers! It's not supposed to).

I've seen so many people shitting on the behind the scenes crew and Tobias himself. Do y'all fuckers wanna trade places with them? Do you know what burn out is? Do you know how much work these people do just to get all of this to you? Do you want to drag your carcass around the world while also simultaneously producing music/movies/chapters that YOU star in? Tobias and everyone else that works on/with Ghost are not struggling, they're professionals, but the job isn't easy. It's demanding. Let that man spend time with his own family while everyone else receives actual recognition and appreciation jfc.

(Continued under the cut)

Stop demanding constant content and chapters/lore. I don't want it to be over either. And it's not, I firmly believe that it's not over. It wouldn't make any sense for it to just stop like that. Tobias has said he needs to step back for a while so he can come back to it. You can get tired of your own creations and he's probably just hit a bad wall creatively.

Not to mention, if the lore was done, why the fuck would he bother to correct himself at rituals whenever he says, "Last time we were here," or something similar? At the Orlando Ritual, he was telling us (not word-for-word, mind you), "When we were here before- Well, not me. But the band...". Why would he bother doing that? Ppl who got to do the meet n greet for Skeletour said he was in character the entire time. Why would he bother if the lore was done?

Please stop assuming a break from the media being released means it's ending forever. Give everyone involved a little more credit. They're not an Evil Pope™ factory. They need time to rest so they can continue to do these amazing things for the fans.

Maybe go read or watch some classic Dracula while we wait for everything to start back up. :) Breathe, don't let yourself get swept up in immediate consumerism. Go enjoy another series or band you like!

Use this downtime to be Extra Productive™! "I miss the old fandom, it was so active." Maybe stop endlessly scrolling/consuming and go contribute? Write, draw, make music, sing, dance!! Anything! If you can't do that, go tell that artist or writer, ect. that you like their stuff! I promise you'll get more from them. Would you expect a chef to make you anything without ordering it first? Participate if you miss it so much.
