Casey, 20s, she/her. In 2012 something went very wrong in my brain and I became a Star Wars fan. I have never been able to escape the consequences of this despite effort on the part of both me and Star Wars. If I'm not careful any media I enjoy starts to turn into a cursed Star Wars AU featuring obscure characters from now non-canon books which were not good to begin with. I hate Disney but love the sequels. I am obsessed with Legends but don't like most of it all that much. I love SWTOR but haven't played in years. Nothing makes sense here, much like in any Star Wars continuity. Anyway I do actually enjoy good things too, I promise

I'm sorry but "reluctant slave owner" just shot to the top of my list of most ridiculously laughably racist shit I've ever heard. Reluctant slave owners. As if someone just... HAS to have slaves. Can always depend on a white Anne Rice fan to act like this

[creatingblackcharacters]

I'm SORRY I know I'm beating you and starving you and splitting your families apart and feeding your babies to alligators and maybe even sending dogs after any of you that try to escape such harrowing conditions it just HAUNTS MY SOUL the things I simply MUST DO to you!!! Don't you know that this causes me DEPRESSION?? Won't anyone think of my REGRETS??

Well 😅 disapprovingly is the nice way to put it for sure. I can't disagree. Contextually, "with hatred at the viewer" would be better.

i just really love the cognitive dissonance jaina has in thinking she’s this scruffy rough scoundrel when she’s actually spoiled and pampered and extremely privileged compared to everyone she associates with and i think the basis for a lot of her attraction to men like zekk or kyp is that they are how she views herself/wants to be perceived

i hate how suicide is framed as selfish. lets deem the people struggling the most as self centered assholes for daring to be pushed to a point where death feels like their only option. you cant be serious

[aromacaque]

any other aromantic people ever thinking about how scary it is being an adult in a world where romantic relationships, in which people generally prioritize their commitment over their friends, leads you into situations where you know if it came to it everyone around you could, like, move far away due to work/life/general circumstance, and you're just kinda the fodder left behind, not because they don't love you or value you, but because you're not the priority. and you can't really get upset at them for it because they're making the choices they need to make in their life to be happier and you're happy about that but you also can't act like you're happy with the cards currently at your disposal and you're always a little antsy about it because, well, yeah sure maybe your friends would be okay with you moving in or living with you if you needed to. and for the sake of sustainability, convenience, or necessity, that may very well be what happens. but would you be satisfied with that? would you be happy? you know that's not really what you want, not like that. maybe you want to be the definite priority. maybe that's selfish to ask for. but your closest friends have life goals that aren't your own, which is fine and you'd never blame them for that or get in their way of getting it, but where does that lead you in the end? when will it be you? when will it be You

it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.

if I said I was going to a taekwondo class would you feel the need to tell me kicking people on the street is bad or.

been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information

"Dogwhistles" are called that based on real "dog whistles", many of which are pitched too high to be audible to most humans, but are still perfectly audible to dogs.

Rhetorical dogwhistles are things that most people would not be able to identify as bigoted because they're INTENDED to have plausible deniability.

The wording changes are meant to be subtle enough that people really can mix them up accidentally when they don't have much information!

So when the gender critical movement calls trans women "transwomen", they're hoping for 2 things.

this usage will spread enough among people who don't know any better, to give transphobes the plausible deniability of not LOOKING like a frothing bigot constantly.

the usage grammatically places trans women in a different category than other women; it's changing "trans" from an adjective to part of a noun to make this distinction.

The more we can avoid this usage, the less deniability have transmisogynists have when using it, and the less rhetorical ground we cede to the degendering and misgendering of trans women.

I don't actually think ceding this ground is LESS divisive than pointing it out politely.

in case anyone is missing the sheer beauty of this french pun, in english it says "ominous" but broken up like a separated head and body - but in french "o minous" means "oh kitties"
