I'm pro-sex work, I'm pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-BLM, pro-ANTIFA, & I hate politicians & cops. I support artistic freedom & expression, I hate antis, & if you treat fictional characters better than real people, you do not belong on my Twitter.

Modern medicine would not exist without the pain & suffering of black people, and yet even now they're most likely to be ignored or straight up mistreated by medical professionals π
@metricalfoot
Why is it every time a trans woman is featured in a medical show, they give her testicular cancer. Do writers think that's the only thing trans women get sick with
@m00ncarnival
Teens in 2012: I'm married to Sebastian, I'm carrying this cardboard cutout of him everywhere, real boys will never compare to him
Teens in 2022: if you draw anyone doing anything worse than holding hands you're going to hell freak
It's no wonder that men don't seek help with mental health issues when I see takes like "men with trauma are just dangerous." How are male abuse survivors expected to move past their trauma when you people keep telling them they're dangerous for something they couldn't control?
@Sisslethecat
I agree w/ this, bc it seems SO out of place for this to have sexual connotations considering how he acts, I highly doubt he had a weird crush on Rebecca. He doesn't seem the type to have any attachment whatsoever
Exactly what I feared. People, CoD is a military propaganda game. You are not going to do anything remotely like the game. You cannot be gay or trans in the military. There's a high suicide rate among veterans for a reason. Enjoy your fictional military men, DO NOT JOIN.
AO3 is literally the LAST safe place for fandom. It is the only thing of its kind. Now AO3 wants to allow AI to steal work created by humans so some bot can make a shitty corporate-friendly sanitized bullshit story?
We do not want AI in fandom. We want HUMANS in fandom.
Watching a documentary on 80s horror & it's fascinating to really understand how we go through moral panics every decade to "save the children" because the more things change, the more they stay the same
Watching a doc on 80s horror & they're talking about the "satanic panic" & it literally is every single talking point antis have now lmao. They really do just sound all like mini-Ronald Reagans
@keffals
Also love how transphobes consistently show they have zero idea how transitioning works, "gaping wound" lmao. They scream "biology" but don't understand a single bit what HRT & reassignment surgery ACTUALLY does to biology.
@commie_mommie_
Also so many "Why are you as a man interested in CNC" do you know how many men enjoy femdom CNC, i.e the man being the "victim"? That entire thread is just assumptions on BDSM based on cishet patriarchal shit & they think they did something lmao
@strangegutz
Tbh I think it's internalized man-hating. Spent a long time fighting being a trans man bc I was internalizing the popular leftist rhetoric of "men are disgusting" until I realize that's just TERF shit becoming mainstream & it hurts ALL trans ppl

@lemonsproda
Thrifting isn't bad, what's bad is people buying up everything in stores & reselling them for higher prices so poor people have absolutely nothing to choose from
@bizzaroren
Honestly it feels like people just want to cancel anything that isn't exactly like them because the Venn diagram of those attacking queer rep for being bigoted and TERFs/truscum/exclusionists is a circle
*taps sign* addiction is most often a symptom of deeper mental health issues or trauma, & the only way to fight the drug epidemic is providing universal healthcare, higher wages, better access to mental health services, & a better social welfare system
@SharkiesOTD
Ppl will hate on sharks bc they're "dangerous" but literally almost every animal is just as much, the difference is sharks aren't as furry & "cuddly" as other predators. Any animal can be dangerous when you enter their habitat, it's defense & hunger. They're not evil.
The trans masc experience is being scared to transition due to society placing worth in accordance to your feminity; when you are no longer feminine, you feel that no one will love you because of that
@ThatSamWinkler
"They don't have the server space" I've seen things on there for 2 years & yet a brand new show like Willow was only up there for 5 months lol. I get rotating items, but this feels more "Somebody wanted residuals & we don't wanna" & what you said
It utterly amazes me that ppl can go "Oh, mental health is important" but then turn around & act horrible to those actively suffering from mental health issues. Depression makes ppl kill themselves, but y'all are focused on the showering? OK
@MiskifMakr4Loki
@pughspears
OP is literally saying "harassing ppl is bad." They agree with you. They're just saying the worst kind of shippers are the misogynistic ones who harass female actors over their ship.
@archivedilfs
I really don't care who runs the account, OP was always respectful of the women posted, so does it really matter what gender ran the account? I don't get how it's supposedly "predatory" if a man ran it when none of the posts have ever been gross
Every time you use the word "degenerate," every time you label a group of people as groomers with no actual basis other than physical similarities, you are using Nazi propaganda.
@kikipancakes
Co-opting Asian words & using them as slurs/insults, gotta love the white supremacy & racism at work π & then turn around and be like "BIPOC lives matter!"
Performative activism at its finest. You're not magically not a racist just because you say a slogan lol
Victim of CSA here! My stepfather did what he did NOT bc of anime- in fact, he accused anyone who liked anime of being a degenerate pedo. All the while abusing me for 14 long years! So no, anime characters don't make a predator. Actually hurting kids is what makes a predator.
this weird trend that has popped up on both the right and the left is just accusing anything you see as slightly deviant of being a predator or pedophile, which is deeply concerning because political manipulation of what is and isn't CSA is not helping real victims.
@otherhappyplace
I have titanium steel rib plating on three of my ribs and looking up what they looked like (because I was, y'know, unconscious when they were installed) was horrifying bc of the disembodied skeleton showing it
I feel absolutely sickened by everything Grace Van Dien has gone through. First it was harassment from misogynistic shippers who were angry her character "got in the way" of their gay ship, now it's misogyny from gamers... all she's done is simply exist as a woman.
Like I get toxic masculinity & all that jazz, but also boiling an entire gender down as nothing but violent is NOT how you fight the patriarchy, especially when many men are part of other marginalized groups & just as much victims as women. It's also TERF shit.
@SharkiesOTD
Humans destroy natural habitat & food sources then have the audacity to call animals "bad" or "evil" simply when they're just hungry or scared of ppl w/ nowhere else to go. Sharks don't even generally WANT to eat ppl, they just usually mistake us for seals :(
@CJfq0KR4CFYRyGi
@SharkiesOTD
Did you ask the shark and say "were you aware you were eating a human?" They're animals lmao, acting like they did it on purpose when we're intruders into their habitat who are starving them of their natural food resources is next level stupidity.
@lSAMlRA
Spite listening is funny, but I am begging people DO NOT actually stream this and give them revenue + attention. Pirate it if you really want to listen. But don't use it in any audios for videos, don't tweet about the song, don't do anything to make them money.
@quozacchi

I mean, that seems about right, why are they freaking out? No no no, let me guess... something something Tik Tok thinks anyone above the age of 19 is decrepit
@stratsspeaks
I feel like the main difference between dubcon and noncon in fanfic is
Noncon = not into it at all. Hates it the entire time. Is traumatized
Dubcon = consent, but under dubious circumstances (drunk, SOMETIMES fuck or die, etc). Enjoys it, won't be traumatized
I think more female characters should be evil, actually. I don't mean that pussy "high school mean girl" shit, I mean they should kill thousands of people & do horrible things
Lmfao the fact that this important thread on being safe as a kid is being attacked by antis bc OP did fanart of characters from a book written in 1831 goes to show antis don't actually care about any real people being safe. Bc pixels are more important, according to them π
@branewurms
@keffals
Cis ppl will inject a nerve toxin into their foreheads for wrinkles but scream in horror when trans ppl get skin grafts from their own bodies. But hypocrisy is part of being a transphobe, & so is other forms of bigotry. Cause they have to pick ALL the struggles apparently
@fubroshi
Idk what Reddit guy this was about but I misread that this was for a kid & thought you meant "if my bf wanted to be a princess" I was like fuck yeah, if my baby wants to even get a dress & crown, we're doing it
@hagenilda
It's either "You're not autistic enough" or "you're too autistic to decide for yourself" & those responses switch depending on which silences you more for them
Not someone saying "I have no morals when it comes to fiction, An*kin murdering ppl is so hot" and then turning around and saying "if you ship 0bikin die in a fire" baby WHAT
Like stop to think for a second. Many PoC men are already seen as "inherently" aggressive. If you're saying all men are violent, then you're opening the door to increased violence against PoC men in the name of "self-defense." Because that's how it works.
Very ironic that people will complain about women being shallow & only dating men who are conventionally attractive, then turn around & complain a woman is dating someone who isn't an Instagram model
Which is it?
"More than half of American households own a VCR, allowing children direct access to R-rated gore nasties. This is a fight for the children"
Antis sounding exactly like that π "you're victimizing children by drawing cartoons!"

The video isn't playing got me, it keeps pausing & even letting it load doesn't fix it (or refreshing)... would someone mind telling me what he said? Thank you π
@snsdfem
Rape is not about sexual desire. Rape is about power & control over the victim. In a BDSM relationship, the submissive is the one who dictates what the dominant does. Subs absolutely are the ones who control the scene, NOT doms.
@HiYamyamsHere
I'm a huge fan of noncon kissing & affection in general. Like imagine A being forced to dance w/ B, their captor, to classical music, their bodies pressed together. Or being forced to cuddle & hating every moment π₯°
@fubroshi
WHAT THE FUCK???? Dude that is so CUTE, why would you not want to do that for your partner??? Bruh even IF we didn't have a kid & my wife wanted to play princess, we are playing fucking princess & I am not fucking around π€
@enigmataX
@corspeinthisbed
Yeah like you can tell who's a kid in this thread bc they're laughing at something that genuinely used to happen, so many ppl were bullied into suicide or literally beaten for simply dressing alternative. My friend had her father cut up all her "satanic" clothes :/
Silent Hill 2 is THE most widely misunderstood game of all time & it's only going to be worse when the remake comes out
James Sunderland, get behind me, the fandom doesn't understand nuance so I'll defend you

@NR_Lines
Joining you in tapping the sign that many cultures over the world have had trans people stemming back centuries & it wasn't until colonization that transphobia became prevalent. Not only is it rooted in harmful stereotypes, it also is the product of cultural erasure
@lgbtloonaverse
"It's racist & classist to be mad when someone steals your things" hate to break it to y'all, but not all thieves are uwu sob stories. Some ppl are just selfish. Someone shoplifting food is not the same as someone stealing packages with potential life-saving things inside.
@CiaoBellaJoy
I do agree wholeheartedly that we need arts funding & a massive overhaul of the education system, however, I don't think that's the reason, I think it's just because they're raised to believe they're entitled to a woman's time just because they exist & can say whatever
@_forbisexuals
They act like once a character is bi she can't date women anymore, like... hon, she's BISEXUAL, you can still ship her with girls!!! It doesn't change anything!!!
@AfricanArchives
I don't wish to overstep my bounds, but I don't think a thread celebrating white people practicing basic decency during BHM is truly a good idea... perhaps a thread focusing on black accomplishments would be better?
@plentyofalcoves
It's really funny how I've faced more harassment and attacks from people in the queer community than I have from cishets, bc they're all interested in finding a "right" way to be queer and gatekeeping and excluding anyone who doesn't fit their narrow definitions.
Whomever plays Abby, the showrunners need to 1) ensure they have zero social media presence, 2) have increased security detail, and 3) scan every piece of fan mail before opening
No one should have to do that for their job, but we all know what happened to Abby's VA
Bella Ramsey on the Internet hostility that is coming with The Last of Us 2 Storyline for season 2:

@heartsalty
Misogyny, queerphobia, & racism play a huge part in who gets told they're a groomer today, but I feel like also part of it is society is taught violence is good & sex is bad
@fubroshi
Abusers love the US vs THEM mentality bc painting an outside group as evil & themselves as the saviors opens up the opportunity to prey on those who trust them with their safety
@SamAburime
Radfem lesbians focusing so much of their politics around the hatred of men instead of addressing the actual issues, they've circled around to acting like the very thing they hate most
Cause I know where I've seen "all women must be desirable to me 24/7" before
If Dante and Virgil in Inferno are not meant to be shipped, explain why Dante stopped running from a wolf and went "by the way, I love your work, you're the reason for my poetry, a true inspiration" and THEN told him about the wolf
