ok listen im pro Palestine and all but some of you will take the most stupid antisemetic arguments and replace "Jews" with "zionists" and then claim that you aren't ACTUALLY antisemetic and that you're just anti zionism

Anon, it'd only be exclusive if you think that lesbian is an inherently mono-spec identity. Or you think that queer identities HAVE to make sense in the first place. Or you think that you have to understand someone's identity in order to respect it.

Anyways, here's an archive page from that old carrd that explains mspec lesbians in a much better way that I could (and am willing to as a non lesbian).

I don't want to be or sound like an exclusionist, but I also genuinely don't understand the bi-lesbian identity. The concepts feel exclusive.

that sounds like a you problem

sincerely, a bi lesbian

Its more telling on proshitters if u say that banning literal CP on ao3 will lead to banning queer stories! How do u think that's comparable? It's ridiculous. Actual nsfw of kids is not a "gateway" to banning stories about gay ppl falling in love, as a queer person saying stuff like that is harmful to us!

It'll never not be funny to me how anti m-specs call m-spec lesbians "biphobic" when.. biphobes were literally the ones who forced bi people out of the lesbian label in the first place.

The lesbian separatism movement has roots in biphobia whether you like it or not. Lesbians living their lives and using labels that they feel most comfortable with is not "biphobic" - and it's disgusting that you'd think that way.

Y'know what? The queer community really need to stop forgetting about multigender people.

“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ‘70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”

Friendly reminder that the word lesbian includes bi people! M-spec lesbians are valid if your like it or not - lesbianism has always included bisexuality! Deal with it <33

Run out of shitty excuses to defend your fascist language you're so set on using? Whatever you say, "pal". Carry on using fascist language if it makes your edgy ass self feel better.

Stop calling people "degenerates" as an insult please and thank you. Its a nazi/fascist term

Having sex infront of unwilling people and very likley children is disgusting bruh

If you have to call someone a nazi to feel better about you wanting to commit sex crimes, possibly infront of kids, that sounds like you need therapy 💀💀💀

[dopamine-thief]

I'm not fucking talking about sex crimes. I was never in that goddamn conversation and I don't want to get involved in it! Was that not clear?

Fun fact of the day: don't call people degenerates if you disagree with them. Don't call people degenerates if they do or say harmful things. Don't call people degenerates if you think that they're defending sex crimes, a conversation I dont fucking want to get into-

Don't call people degenerates, PERIOD.

I'm literally JUST saying that calling people degenerates, as an insult, is fascist fucking language and you shouldn't do it! At the very least without getting pissy if people call you a goddamn fascist.

If you can't handle that I think you are the one who needs to get offline and think about why you're so set on using fascist/nazi terms to describe people!

Dumb ass 💀 💀 💀

What..? Literally when did anon mention ANYTHING about sex..? I must be missing something because sex crimes was never relevant.. they're literally just telling you to stop calling people degenerates, which you should. All anon is saying is that degenerate is a fascist term, which it is but you are bringing in a completely different topic to try to defend your use of goddamn fascist language.

If youre so set on calling people degenerates as an insult whilst knowing it is a nazi term at least don't get pissy if they call you a fucking nazi. Jfc.

Edit: they didn't even call you a fucking nazi lmao 💀 they literally just said that you are using a nazi term. Nice strawman there mate, well done <3

DNI if you have people who have DNIs DNI in your DNI list.

Y'know, I saw this on twitter and was IMMEDIATELY furious about the fact that "To kill a mockingbird" was on there.

But.. then I realised something.

If I recall correctly, To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, and The Great Gatsby were all banned in the USA, with Frankenstein (1818) being banned previously.

Hmm?

By who?

Is it obvious?

You guessed it.

conservatives.

Y'know, the fascist ones controlling the USA with an iron fist.

This antis "irredimable media" list lines up almost too perfectly with the one shared by conservatives. I do not care if you PERSONALLY think that this media is "problematic". But I do care that you share the same views as fucking fascists. Because you DO! Don't fucking deny it!

If you think this is just about books or a stupid little DNI list I envy you for your naïvete. This isn't just about the fiction you think is irredimable or problematic.

Okay. Rant ended.

What did “the magic school bus” do to deserve to be put on the “irredeemable media” list 😭

I’m dying to know but im sure that the answer will be infuriating and also a letdown

On the topic of antis not understanding that anti porn laws also include getting rid off lgbt

DeSantis’s “don’t say gay” bill was promoted as “protecting children from hardcore pornography.” It has already been used to investigate a teacher for showing a Disney movie.

We’ve been through all of this before. In 1933 Joyce’s Ulysses was ruled not obscene because “Whilst in many places the effect of Ulysses on the reader undoubtedly is somewhat emetic, nowhere does it tend to be an aphrodisiac.”

In other words it’s okay that the book makes you vomit, because it probably doesn’t turn anyone on. These are the sorts of arguments we’ll have to make again to protect “obscene” media. Because there is no unambiguous standard for what defines “pornography.”

“I know it when I see it.” Who is “I”? Clarence Thomas? “Lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.” Who determines artistic value? Again, effing Clarence Thomas? Do we want this?

Extremely short-sighted radical feminists have sometimes thought they can fight exploitation of women by teaming up with the religious right on this. But the religious right is never your ally. They’re against gender equality, they will use anti-porn laws to ban feminist texts.

It’s not hard to imagine how Republicans will enforce anti-porn laws. They will argue same-sex kissing in movies is “pornography.” A book about a girl with two mommies? “Pornography.” Trans-inclusive sex education on YouTube? “Pornography.”

"I'm not an exclusionist y'all! I just.. exclude good faith queer identities and call them lesbophobic! But im not an exclusionist WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT-"

Your daily reminder that bi lesbians don’t exist, they literally cannot exist as it’s impossible. If you like men as well as women you’re bisexual. Lesbian literally means no attraction to men. Anyone genuinely using that label is a massive lesbophobe AND biphobe and it doesn’t make you an exclusionist???? To say that???? Saying that lesbians can be attracted to men is incredibly???????? lesbophobic? (And you fuckers who say well what about trans women are being majorly transphobic and you should drop dead)

[dopamine-thief]

Regarding the who nmlnm thing.. if you think that lesbian includes non binary people who are not women, you HAVE to acknowledge that that is typically, by definition, mspec.

If lesbian ISNT just wlw, then that would by definition BE mspec! Mspec refers to multi spectrum attraction. It isn't just a synonym for bisexual.

[dopamine-thief]

Hate hate hate the whole "does this queer identity make sense" thing.

Queer identities are not here to make sense! Queer labels can have clear, definable meanings but that DOESNT mean you have to conform to them. Queer identities can be defined as one thing, but still mean different things to different people. Your identity is your own. Period.

The reason the whole "lesbian is now nmlnm now" thing is that it implies that non-binary people have to CONFORM the the lesbian label to be a lesbian. You don't! Queer exclusionism doesn't help our community! Quit playing wannabe cop and stop caring about how other people express their identities <3
