i think the funniest thing out of all this is the blogs proudly having urls like "misandrist1030". it's like holding up a giant sign that says in bright red letters I AM AN ASSHOLE I AM AN ASSHOLE and skipping down the street

im hypomanic so maybe this won't be phrased the greatest but since you're an archive and have been here for years.. does it feel like this place (mogai community) has just become a place of mass production?

i don't know. viewing this place back in 2021 it felt homely and comfortable, being here now feels like walking into an office where everyone's sat at their computers ignoring each other. the community feels so distant and the coinings feel so forced in a way, like they're just appealing to trends and need to fill up their queue. maybe im just a pessimist but.. i was gonna say it feels like capitalism is slowly taking over the community but that's definitely not what im looking to say, just something similar to that. feels like we lost what made this place, well, this place, a long while ago

Yeah, we feel it too. We've talked about it before, but not on this blog.

Some of our biggest critiques of the MOGAI community have to do with individualism. We despise how individualistic it is. We dislike new flag designs just because someone doesn't like the original flag because we think that degrades the point of flags as a community symbol. We dislike it when people don't check to see if something has already been coined when they recoin things, as it feels diminishing of the work and words and experiences of others. We dislike it when people declare that those they disagree with are barred from usage of terms or flags they made. We dislike the treatment of flags and terms as... for lack of a better word, as original characters, rather than as terminology made for describing and discussing identity and experiences.

We get confused when people coin things just for the hell of it, without them being requested or applying to themself (though likely part of this is our own autism and difficulty understanding experiences outside of our own). Sure, I suppose coining is just putting a word to a pre-existing experience, someone out there must have that experience, but it does feel like it's coining for the sake of quantity rather than quality. It feels like it's representative of having lost sight of why people started coining microlabels, of the very real people and experiences and ways of navigating through the world that these words and images represent.

We've also made the capitalism comparison haha. It's not a 1-to-1, but I do think capitalism affects the way people go about making things. A pressure, subconscious or otherwise, to constantly produce, to constantly labour. People apologizing when they haven't coined for a while (we're guilty of this also, unprompted apologizing when our work is slow), coiners getting burnt out. The heavy skew of people valuing coiners over all others in the community, especially over lurkers/collectors/those who don't perform some sort of labour.

So, yeah. You're not the only one.

trans women are not ur enemies btw. they are not uniquely capable of perpetuating transandrophobia. they are your sisters and the vast majority of them will fight with you and support you if you do the same for them

I think that special interests are actually a disabling part of autism

I'm tired of people (allistic and autistic) saying that it's bad that special interests are 'pathologised' because passions are good. This is because that comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of what a special interest is. Special interests are not just things you like a lot, they are 'highly fixated interests abnormal in intensity or focus'. For me (and pretty much everyone with autism I've asked about it), this means that special interests are basically your whole life. For me, my special interest is ASD. I think about autism all the time. It's the only thing I find interesting, and every thought I have can be linked to autism in some way. This is pretty disabling to me because it makes it way harder to talk about and do stuff that isn't related to my special interest.

It makes making friends really hard because, on top of my social challenges, I also don't know how to talk about anything other than my special interest, and I will bring the conversation back to my special interest if I feel comfortable around someone, and just not talk to someone if I don't feel comfortable around them. It also makes doing the things I need to do in life (such as doing work for uni, taking care of myself, cleaning my living space, etc) so much harder because my brain doesn't think it's interesting in the slightest and therefore I have absolutely no motivation to do them.

Maybe my special interests are more extreme than other people's. I wasn't diagnosed with a level, I just got a diagnosis of ASD, but I'm probably on the higher end of level 1, possibly on the lower end of level 2 but I can't really figure that out for myself. However, the ASD diagnostic criteria in both the ICD-11 and DSM-V state that your traits of autism must be causing 'clinically significant impairment' (i.e. they must be disabling) for you to qualify for an ASD diagnosis.

Can we please stop grouping neutral genders and genderlessness together because having a gender that's neutral and not having a gender at all is. Not the same.
