The End ///  I'm going to be completely inactive on Tumblr and eventually I will be deleting the blogs and account. All my work is on AO3, I'll stay up on there for a long time [AO3 is ToxixRoxChemical].

Please do your research! There is so much misinformation out there and a lot of lies.

Everyone should know the truth so please try to know as much as you can so you can spread awareness and help!

Articles I can use against truscum

[queercoded-villain]

I have got your back. Here are those damn sources

There is not enough difference in male or female brains to tell them apart

A gender-neutral pronouns other that they/them has existed since 1858, thon 

There are more than 2 genders (tons of sources in the description that if i tried to write them all here i would die of age)

“””Transtrenders””” aren’t actually transitioning and then regretting: 1  2  3 4  5 

Biological binary sex isn’t a thing: 1 2 3 4

in the wikipedia page for social construct of gender category sex and sex category the sources are 7 27 28 

He indeed is

Being trans is not a mental illness/ you don’t need dysphoria to be trans: 1  2  3  4 5 6 7 (this one is massive)  8 (also if you want a living example of a cis person with dysphoria search godflex here on tumblr, careful it’s nsfw)

From here

This might be updated in the future

[beyond-a-name]

Simply because the link about the gender neutral pronoun “thon” leads to a google books page (gross) in Portuguese, it may not prove particularly useful for English speakers. Instead, here’s a link to a Merriam-Webster post about it. While they don’t have links to their sources, they do include all the titles to the publications referenced, most of which are surely public domain.

We added a gender-neutral pronoun in 1934. Why have so few people heard of it?

'Thon' was a singular, gender-neutral pronoun in our Unabridged dictionary. Until it wasn't.

In addition, if “thon” (or “þon,” for any literary nerds) doesn’t suit you, here is a list of proposed gender neutral pronouns regardless of whether or not they have seen usage.

It even has usage notes! Please DM me if the links don’t work.

#can’t believe people in 1956 were watching johnny guitar instead of she-ra#🙄🙄smh

[indieninja92]

im fucking dying what the hell kind of noxious fart gas do u have to have instead of brains to fucking comment something like that 😂

im just i dont even know where to begin, between the foolishness of forgetting that queer people predate the she-ra reboot and the blatant disinterest in hearing the experiences of queer people in different contexts and the fact that maybe just maybe we dont exclusively want to watch Certified Gay media and that queer reading is a way of actively engaging in the art u consume and validating urself and etc etc… im dying, what a mook 😂

[amuseoffyre]

It must be so strange for kids now to wrap their head around how little representation there was back in the day. And what we did get was generally bad - if you were any kind of queer character, you were either murdered or a murderer who deserved to die. No in between. It really did a number on generations of queer people, seeing ourselves presented that way.

If you want to talk animated queer characters, up into the Disney Renaissance and beyond, the only queer-coded characters you ever saw were the villains.  Hell, in the Beauty and the Beast reboot, they gave us “a confirmed gay character” who was apparently LeFou, Gaston’s side-kick. I say apparently, because have you watched the film?

I can only think of one mainstream film I saw from the 80s that had any positive queer representation while studying film at uni and it was tangled up in a savage critique of racism, culturalism and Thatcher’s Britain.

Things are better now, yes, but let’s not forget where they started. Let’s not forget how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go.

[saint-batrick]

ellen is garbage, but when she came out on her TV show (april 30th, 1997. i was fifteen.) it was national news. for months.

a year and a half later, matthew shepard was beaten, tortured and left to die, because he was gay. his death was also national news - but more importantly, his murder is what led to gay bashing being legally declared a hate crime. i was sixteen years old and had been with my then-girlfriend for almost a year. assaulting, raping, and killing us for being queer wouldn’t have been prosecuted as a hate crime.

i could go on for so, so long but this is already pushing me close to tears.

“you could be watching she-ra” my god. you know, i did watch she-ra when i was a kid.

i didn’t see myself in any of them.

[vaspider]

I am 43 years old. The first time I remember seeing a lesbian couple kiss on television that wasn’t porn or immediately leading into deaths meant to demonstrate that lesbianism would immediately destroy your lives (within the next 90 minutes!) was The Body, a Buffy episode which aired on February 27, 2001.

I was 24. My daughter was an infant. I’d never seen anything like it before. Here I was! There! On screen. I identified with dorky, awkward, very gay Tara so much.

And then you know what happened just over a year after we finally saw Willow and Tara kiss, having been denied for seasons because the network wouldn’t let them?

Whedon fucking killed Tara off in the most ridiculous, pointless way possible, right after Tara and Willow, who had broken up, got back together.

My “good, meaningful, actually changed my fucking life” representation still followed the horrible tropes. That’s how hungry we were. That’s how desperate we were. We still pointed back to Willow & Tara as ‘this is the best we’ve gotten,’ even though she literally got shot through the heart, somehow, randomly, with a stray bullet the morning after she and her girlfriend have make-up sex and get back together.

Fuck.

[carolxdanvers]

I think this is very indicative of a cultural divide between even mid-millennials and gen z. I graduated high school in 2007. My middle and high school years were filled with people drawing explicit, realistic images of me, nude, with a penis. People writing slurs on my sidewalk with bleach, and when my family cleaned it before I saw it, they came back and wrote it with bleach in the grass, killing the grass and leaving me to see a slur every day when I walked outside, all because I had cut my hair short and I wasn’t allowed to shave my legs. I didn’t even know I was into women at the time.

And one of the boys who led the most vicious attacks on me came out as gay in 2006. He was met with support from a lot of the students who had treated me like a blight on the world because they assumed I was a lesbian. The only LGBT person I’d seen in film was Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Real great representation. I was afraid to watch Xena because if anyone from my school found out, I’d be beaten to hell in the locker room - like I already was, on accusations of staring at their boobs.

And a few years later, after tireless work by a lot of very exhausted people and cringey PSAs like Hillary Duff’s “when you call something gay, do you realize what you say” campaign, queerphobia began to be seen as the bigotry it always was. A few years ago, my niece came out and started dating a girl at her high school, and I cannot tell you the terror that filled me for her safety. She, blessedly, lives in a very different world than I did when I was her age.

So when people scoff at barely-there representation, or representation that existed entirely within the minds of the people watching the movie, and when people laugh at the idea of now-antiquated slurs like “fruit” and “poofer”, to me that is partly a victory. It is a comfort to know that people younger than me have a more accepting world than it was 15, 20, 30 years ago.

But it is also deeply insulting that people who never faced what others did, will pass condemnation on those others for accepting scraps and crumbs. It’s like eating three meals a day and laughing at Depression era soup recipes of ketchup and water. “Or you could just buy some Campbell’s or something with any nutritional content, smh”

[tendervulture]

If any followers or passers-by to this post are currently fans of Hetalia and/or Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin, as a former fan of both, I am begging you: extricate yourself from those fandoms and stop consuming those properties as quickly and quietly as possible. If you can bring your friends and mutuals along with you, even better! It is simply not worth it (and downright dangerous) to be consuming what is essentially fascist propaganda at all, never mind now, when we’re seeing a global rise in fascism.

[queencatradora]

for a lot of people, attack on titan was their first introduction to anime, so its global reach cannot be ignored. that has led to a lot of fervent people trying to defend this show without looking more deeply into what we are saying. if you’re about to do something stupid like comment on this post when you don’t truly know what anyone is talking about or you just feel annoyed that we are knocking your favorite anime, read this first and then decide if you really wanna make that stupid comment.

The fascist subtext of Attack on Titan can’t go overlooked

The story’s twist exposes the ugly side of the manga and anime

from forcing an entire group of people to wear nazi armbands to the author’s own personal beliefs, do not sit here and say we’re looking too much into it. fuck off. fascism is on a global rise and it should scare you, and any decent person with common sense should be against any type of media depiction that is advocating for fascism/nazism/war crimes/ethnic cleansing. it’s beyond “it’s just a piece of fiction.” MEDIA INFLUENCES REAL LIFE. if you think media doesn’t influence real life and real life opinions, you are seriously deluding yourself. i don’t really know what to say beyond that.

qanon and the rise of the proud boys (a literal pro-fascist group) should be enough proof that we don’t live in a fucking fishbowl when it comes to fascism.

[willowdove]

So I’m teaching English right now, and I just had my students write an essay about their heroes. A couple of my students picked Attack on Titan characters, because I let them choose fictional characters as well. One picked Eren Jaegar. He said that he admired that he was willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family and his homeland. When describing the lengths Eren was willing to go to, this student explicitly included MASS GENOCIDE in the list. And I uh. Well I sent him to guidance.

I understand the appeal of these franchises. Hell I used to be into them myself. But please realize that when you consume fascist media, you’re internalizing the same messages my Eren Jaegar fan student has. When you’re being repeatedly asked to sympathize and root for characters that are bad people who do terrible things, you start to excuse and rationalize those behaviors. You start to be desensitized to actions that should rightly elicit horror in you.

I’m not saying that watching Attack on Titan automatically makes you a genocide apologist. I’m not saying that we can’t think critically about the media we consume. I’m not saying we can’t have media from a villian’s points of view either. What I AM saying, is that framing is important. And unfortanely it’s almost impossible to get away from the positive framing of fascism in AoT and Hetalia. And if you spend too much time in a warped frame, you’ll warp to match. It’s really not worth it to keep engaging in that material.

I think it’s worthwhile to also mention that my student’s aspiration is to become a soldier. He wants to emulate Eren Jaegar in the defense of America. And I hope you can see how dangerous that mindset is for an armed forces member. A soldier should be able to make tough choices. A soldier should NOT be willing to do “whatever it takes” with no limits, self-justified by a sense of extreme nationalism. Yeah. That’s what you’re internalizing, folks.

TLDR; Don’t keep watching and producing fan content for franchises that promote fascism. Please. Respect yourself more than that.

[toxixchemical]

I remember like... a few years ago when I started watching this show. I never really got into it, never even finished the first season. I’m very glad I didn’t get back into it when people were pressuring me to watch it!  As people who can spread the word, let’s reblog this so this media company can’t continue this type of influence. We have a right as people to say what we don’t want to see become part of our world, even if it’s fiction. And like said above, fiction can model for people. If someone’s inspired enough they’d want to be like those fictional characters.

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

Also if you are ANEMIC and take IRON SUPPLEMENTS DO NOT TAKE WITH CAFFEINE. No coffee, caffeinated tea, etc. The caffeine will block iron absorption and you won’t actually get any of that iron that you just took!!

[icarus-suraki]

ALSO! I have found that citric acid can also affect the efficacy some anti-depressants.

I was way too hooked on Starburst jellybeans a couple of years ago but couldn’t figure out why I was so depressed all the damn time, despite it being spring and warm weather and everything. Now, guess how much citric acid was in those delicious, delicious jellybeans???

Of course, it may not be the same for you. But, anecdotally, I have found that there are similar reactions with other medications and you might not be told about it.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

You can sign the petition even if you are non-European. I recommend you do, as many of us fan content creators are indeed in Europe. We would also lose access to non-European fan creations, meaning less readers, less fans and less customers for your home-made merch, commissions and such for you.

[thefuzzycomic]

I’m reblogging this to FUZZY as this is extremely important. If I lose access to Tumblr, you will lose access to FUZZY. I would most likely even lose access to Webtoons, as it does have fan comics! Not to mention Patreon is not safe from this either.

EMERGENCY: HELP MY BEST FRIEND ESCAPE HIS ABUSIVE MOTHER

So as the title suggests I’ve started raising money to help my best friend get out of his abusive household and his abusive mother. My friend Wes is a 23 year old black college student from the UK who is being sent home to his abusive mother due to COVID-19 and is no longer able to seek refuge at his university dorm and is in need of help, regardless of how big or small. Every donation goes a long way and will help get my friend out of this hell hole. 

He’s basically been abandoned by his siblings due to the abuse and manipulation of his mother and has no one else to turn to. I’ve ultimately decided to create this GoFundMe to help him get away from years of physical, emotional and psychological abuse and want to try and help him get a better life, starting with raising money for him to try and find his own place to escape to and be able to start a life free from his mother. 

Any attempt of reporting the abuse has fallen on deaf ears due to non-believers, many people assuming that men can’t suffer at the hands of an abuser, only to leave him to further torment and punishment. 

I will also be doing a request fundraiser on my side writing blog @lady-of-spades where all donations will get top priority to help raise money for Wes. The more you donate, the longer the piece will be. All you need to do is show me a screenshot that you’ve donated and I will add your request to the list.

 I want to do everything within my power to help him get away from this hell and don’t want to lose him forever to this abuse. So please, even if you can’t donate, please share and spread the word to give more traction to this fundraiser! 

All further details and information can be found below.

I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it

[wildehacked]

psa

we all know that if you censor a word with an asterisk, that does the opposite of hiding it for people who might want to avoid the content, right?  Like, if you censor the word “sex” as “s*x”, this ensures that a blacklist featuring the word “sex” will not catch it.  Censoring words with asterisks should be for stuff you want people to be able to SEE but not SEARCH for–for example, if you wanted to talk about st*r w*rs on your blog without the post showing up in the star wars tag where people might come kick your kneecaps over liking adam driver, or whatever.  But I’m seeing a lot of people censoring words that are common trigger warnings with asterisks, and that is the OPPOSITE of helpful. You should always use the actual words in your post, because then they’ll SHOW UP ON PEOPLE’S BLACKLISTS and those who might be triggered by them WILL NOT HAVE TO SEE THEM.  If you have severe arachnophobia, for example, it’s not going to be less upsetting to see an in-depth discussion of spider eating habits on your dash if the post is talking about sp*ders. It’s not the i that freaks you out, it’s the fucking spider discussion, which is still completely visible? thanks to that asterisk? 

speaking of blacklists, we all know that the tumblr update is slowly going to roll xkit away from us, so if you really rely on yours, it’s a good idea to back that shit up on the native tumblr blacklist.

okay, that’s all, have a nice day!

We don’t care if it looks like shit to you, or you think your art skills are not good enough.
