As far as I can see, my reply to the post about Tim being scummy for wanting Cass to be a bat again has been deleted from the original posts view. As in, if you look at the original post, click to look at the notes, you cannot see it.

Essentially they said Tim or at least implied (possibly accidentally) that Tim was a crappy person for wanting Cass to be Batgirl again, and used comparisons of Tim himself not being Robin anymore against his will, even though Robin is a kids role (to state this hear incase people scroll by, it’s not, Dick was nearly 20 when he stopped, and over 20 on another Earth, in the universe itself the connotation is different for different people”, and generally had a tone that seemed aggressive towards Tim specifically as if he did something way worse than he did. Spawning a few response reblogs trying to clear things up and give their own thoughts on it, which they ended up reblogged from view, hence this.

So I’m going to copy and paste my response for the sake of making sure people can see my response to it, because I know it’s something that people will be willing to believe and go on to accept when I don’t feel like it’s an accurate representation of the moment.

The original post would be too long to screenshot in an organized way, and if I copy and pasted it I feel like id blend with my own responses, but you should be able to see it along with my initial reblog responses on my blog itself.

I honestly don’t think Tim meant it to be some kind of spite against Steph by wanting Cass to be Batgirl again.

It’s just genuinely not that deep. Tim missed his sister and wanted her to join the family again, be a bat again, in the end of it he says he doesn’t even want her to be specifically be Batgirl really, just a BAT again. Hence “Black Bat” being what she chooses after what he said. A nice little symbol of their connection to Batman.

He wasn’t trying to act out against anyone. If anything he just wanted Cass to join closer and not feel so closed off, presumably how he felt.

And like how @ThatBlondePerson said, there’s no proper age range for being Robin. Dick stayed as Robin till he was nearly 20, and on another Earth he stayed as Robin for much longer I believe.

Tim might’ve wanted Dick to remain Robin because he thought it was what Bruce needed, but it’s not like he’s a crazy person thinking that hard about it. He was a 13 year old who didn’t know how Dick felt about it. He was naive at the time, he was an inexperienced 13 year old. It’s just not that deep there either beyond what Tim’s simple thinking is.

He might’ve been unintentionally rude by being so naive, but that doesn’t make him a bad kid. He had a good heart when he went up to him and said it.

Like it feels over the top to act as if Tim was purposely trying to be a jerk for doing either of these things.

Was some of his feelings probably misplaced and clearly didn’t work like how they thought they would, yeah, he’s still a kid. Seventeen is still a kid even then; no matter how he wanted to act at the time.

They were just things he meant as good gestures, or some sort of well-intended motive. Not some gross one. At most him wanting Cass to be a bat again was more for him than her, but that doesn’t make him bad, just misled and confused of his intentions. It made him a bit selfish in the moment, but sometimes people are just selfish, but he did it in a way where he thought it was for both of him. Even if it was just him trying to convince himself it was good, that shows that he wasn’t trying to be nasty about it, even if it was the wrong thing to do at that time for Cass’s sake.

And I am aware Tim was condescending towards Steph, but even then he was mostly just listening to Batman about how he felt, and regardless that alone doesn’t make him a bad person. It means he has a personality flaw of being condescending towards somebody who’s tired of being talked down to.

Also when Tim said he would only be Robin for a little time, he meant he only wanted to be a HERO for a little time. He’s said several times he only ever wanted to be Robin, meaning he just didn’t want to become Batman or a Nightwing. He wanted to be Robin for as long as he felt he needed to be, and then stop, and he didn’t feel like he should’ve stopped being Robin.

Plus like other people said, superheroes have shared identities before. It’s not a new concept.

If you read the comic, Tim doesn’t even bring Steph up. She wasn’t even on his thoughts. He just wanted to give his sister a nice symbol that she could come back. When Cass denies, what does he say? “Fair Enough”. When Cass says Batgirl is what Steph needs, what does Tim say? “And what do you need?”

Simply put, I don’t see any spite against Steph in Tim’s actions, only indirectly because all he thought about was wanting Cass back.

I just can’t read this and see any malintent in his mind. It seems to be all about wanting Cass back to me.

Then they replied to my own response saying this:

Where I responded with this next part.

People are saying this because the way you word yourself implies you think Tim is a terrible person for doing it. When doing an accidentally mean thing doesn’t equal a bad person, it means he simply did an accidentally bad thing.

You may not actually think that, but the tone of the post implies it, making people want to defend that vague (most likely accidental) assumption, since people are already quick to make Tim come off as more malicious than he actual is pretty often. The tone kept acting so hyper in your post over it, it felt like you had a deep rage no matter what, for something that doesn’t seem warranted towards him. Even if accidental.

To most people, a well-intended moment to his sister isn’t worth getting so excited over.

If he didn’t mean it as an insult to Steph, why make it out to be an insult towards Steph as if that’s how he did intend it?

and even then, Tim makes it clear he just wanted or at least hope Cass would come back as a bat of some kind. He wasn’t hell bent on her being Batgirl specifically. So to a lot of people, acting as if Tim wanted Cass to replace Steph as Batgirl specifically, wasn’t even that accurate on that matter either.

Saying “It wasn’t Tim’s place to crown Cass Batgirl, and he should’ve realized that it would’ve felt insulting to Steph had she known, even if he didn’t realize” would’ve made your point clearer than making comparisons to Tim being taken away from Robin like you’re trying to make sound as if his intentions where to insult Stephanie since he knows what it feels to be taken away from a role that means a lot to them. Which makes the vague assumption that Tim specifically wanted Steph to no longer be Batgirl, when that’s not in anything Tim actually says, annoying for some people.

He simply wanted Cass to be an official bat again, that’s what his most clear intentions are.

Your post’s tone towards the Tim’s part of it seems to try and set the tone that what he did was more aggressive than what it actually was. Making people want to defend him and make it more clear what actually happened.

I’m aware people can still see what I said on my blog, but I wanted to add it to the tags as well, so people just didn’t start believing Tim was trying to be scummy from what was supposed to be a well-intended moment with his sister. Since the original post doesn’t let people see any of the responses. At least as far as I’m able to view.

I know that they meant the post to be more about how it wasn’t Tim’s place to crown anyone as Batgirl, but more than one person was under the understanding that they intended that Tim was being a horrible person by trying to make Cass a bat again.

Even they seem aware that the logic of Tim trying to get rid of Steph’s spot as Batgirl doesn’t make any sense.

This isn’t a call to attack them, but I just don’t want this to be another thing Tim gets attacked for.

Today I want to bring up a subject that many people on Tumblr can relate to or agree with me on it.

Misgendering. Is. Bad.

People here know it either from their experience, either from having common sense. Trans people know that even more. It is a struggle every time. It is painful. You want people to acknowledge you and accept you for who you really are. It's plain disrespectful and a horrible thing to do is to call people what they aren't. If you're not an asshole, you won't call, for example, cis woman or a trans woman 'he'. Same for men. It's plain horrible, it disregards others and their feelings. Tumblr should know that more than any other community. Yet still there's going on a huge misgender wave. Games have been out for years now and people still have controversy going on.

Yes, I talk to crazy trans Naoto and trans Chihiro fans.

Yes, both are cis. Cis female Shirogane Naoto and cis male Fujisaki Chihiro.

Special snowflakes totally love seeing LGBT+ representation where it's clearly not existing. You totally want to disrespect quite serious problems of another country and think that only America matters? Bad fucking news for you.

In Japan gender roles are still a thing. You can be judged for not acting like society expects you to but that doesn't mean you suddenly want to change your gender. Both characters display desire to be acknowledged, both comfortable in their bodies and comfortable with being what their biological sex is. They just want to live without being bullied and be acknowledged for their work and achievements.

I'm not a transphobe even though some of ya would argue, you can have whatever you want as fanon in your head, even though I won't agree with you and your take on a character. But when people claim it's canon, blame writers for this (and not for some actual flaws of the stories) and say others to don't interact if they're cis or don't agree with you - it's disgusting.

You can say that it's cis fans who bash others but I've only seen an opposite. I won't call names but under one post about Naoto being “reverse trap” someone just replied that she isn't one and called OP an imbecile. On their discord it was said "respect all headcanons and opinions" but when someone said Naoto is a girl they literally told twice that she "doesn't have to be a woman" and in general implied few times that she's not a girl. If that's how nasty cishets are starting a fight because they don't agree with your fanons - I have bad news, no one will cure that level of bigotry. If that person recognized themselves here I'll be laughing so fucking hard. Cis people usually reply under trans critique posts and mind their own business when it comes to your trans fanon posts. Maybe those happen under not tagged posts or those replies get deleted.

You don't love and you don't respect Naoto and Chihiro if you erase canon and say that they're canonically trans. Even some trans people disagree with those fanons. So that's something to consider when you fight for social justice and representation, thinking you're doing LGBT+ community a favor.

With my posts I'll gladly read how you hate me for saying the truth in the replies or anon asks, I’ve enabled that for this sole purpose.

#persona 4 #p4 #naoto shirogane #danganronpa #chihiro fujisaki #rants #i could add few more tags but i'm not that much of an asshole

Ace Discourse Masterpost (Rebloggable Cut Version)

Here is a master list of arguments in the ace discourse over the years against the notion that cishet ace/aro people are members of the LGBT community, because they are cis and straight. Furthermore why calling asexuality an oppression (while not denying the existence of prejudice against asexual people and the need for their own community) leads to very homophobic and transphobic understanding of what it means to be LGBT. I have been involved in “the discourse” for over five years, making arguments of my own and promoting others on this blog. But now it is time for me to move on and leave this masterpost as the culmination of this blog’s purpose.

Some of these posts are mine but for the most part this is the product of a lot of other people’s work: their words, their thoughts, their experiences and their research all compiled into one place to help people understand the ace discourse and to track its record of ahistory and blatant homophobia and transphobia. I have made sure to use links on my blog so they don’t get lost in any name changes or deletion, but I do not take any credit for their posts and content. So thank you to everyone who contributed to the discourse, and ultimately this post. I hope this will be great resource for discoursers young and old and help people form their own arguments and to help young LGBT people from falling into the trap of denying their sexuality because of the homophobic and transphobic rhetoric of the Ace Community.

So without further ado, The Ace Discourse Masterpost:

Why Asexuality is Not Oppressed

A comparison of asexuality to racism and why it does not meet the definition of systemic oppression

A Debunking of the study often cited as proof of Asexual Oppression and Acephobia

Another response to the oft cited study.

And denying oppression is not proof it exists

Oppression is systematic, not individual

Asexuality does not need to be oppressed to still be valid

Gatekeeping

The LGBT community was created to combat transphobia and homophobia

Gatekeeping doesn’t mean what you think it does

“The LGBT Community is meant to be inclusive!!”

Safe Spaces are meant to be exclusive

And thus excluding cishet aces protects LGBT people

On Oppression Olympics

If not LGBT, where do asexual people belong?

On the assumption that some LGBT people live happy homophobia free lives and should be called “not queer enough” too.

The emergence of REG, “ Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeepers”

REG is just another version of using “it’s the same as ___” to gain legitimacy

The Queer Identity

The history of “queer” as a slur and why its not an umbrella term

Insisting “queer” is an umbrella term for abnormal/deviant people is classic homophobia

Queer is also often used to intentionally erase an individuals distinct identity and relation to oppression

Queer can never fully be reclaimed

On queer theory and the true history of the term

A is for Asexual

How AVEN started the A for Asexual, fully aware that it was also being used for allies. (Arguing the origin of A as Ally is pointless now, this post explains it all from the horse’s mouth)

Why trying to use MOGAI instead does not work.

Ableism and The DSM

A thorough argument on why hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in the DSM is not proof of oppression against asexuals, and is in fact a homophobic and ableist claim.

More on HSDD and the absurdity of claiming it targets asexual people

More on the history of the slur homosexuality and how it was used to medically torture gay people.

Autistic people are often assumed to be asexual (And are not meant to be ace representation)

A Complete Guide to How the Ace Community has lied about the Pathologization of Asexuality and Fearmongered Young Aces into thinking Anti-Ace Conversion Therapy is a Thing

Split Attraction Model (Asexuality is not Straight!)

Why the split attraction model is bad and people hate it.

It makes gross assumptions about non-asexual people who do not use the model, and conflates sexual attraction with sexual orientation

Sectioning personal thoughts on sex and using mogai labels are ultimately useless

The -sexual prefix has always meant gender not sex

Attraction cannot be so evenly split into Romantic or Sexual

“You must be cisgender, heteroromantic, and heterosexual to be Straight!”

Also “Homoromantic” is a terrible word

The History of the word Straight

Allosexual & Allosexual Privilege

Why Allosexual is a terrible term

The word makes sweeping assumptions about someone’s private sexual feelings for vast number of people. (tl;dr version)

The person who coined the term now opposes it’s use.

There is no such thing as sexual privilege.

SGA people have a relationship to sex based on our oppression that straight asexual people cannot understand or experience

The failure of liberal analysis of power structures

Refuting the idea that LGBT people don’t face homophobia or transphobia even in more liberal places.

A cringe-worthy comic that assumes “allosexual” people easily know their sexual orientation because sex

Can you all just stop with this shit, really?

Monosexism, allosexuality’s evil cousin, has many of the same issues.

TL;DR Another brief argument against Allosexual

Corrective Rape

The term “corrective rape” has been appropriated from a very specific homophobic hate crime in South Africa to mean any kind of rape that punishes the victim.

The UN updated it’s terminology guidelines to refer to it as homophobic rape to “note the deep-seated homophobia that motivates the hate crime”

Often used as a gotcha argument than concern for rape victims.

Supporting Rape Culture and Pedophilia

Discourse about ace people having sex is often thinly veiled rape culture

Claiming rape is worse for asexual people again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Is the discourse becoming too “inclusive” of pedophiles?

The troubling trend of protecting pedophiles and calling out victims

On Sex In General

How capitalism affects our perceptions of sexual culture

Asexuality is about sex in a way being Gay/Bi is not (And how it relates to explaining sex and sexuality to children)

Aces need to talk about sex too!

Erasure and Visibility

Visibility directly contributes to the violence LGBT people face

Visibility is not always positive and is often stereotyped and not good for LGBT people

Accepted versus Respected

“At least you have representation!”

A History of Ahistory

Arguments that the Spinster Movement was about asexuality cherry picks history

Another post about the Spinster Movement

Assuming Boston Marriages were about asexuality

Asexuality is based on western/eurocentric ideas of sexuality

New terminology lacks historical context of “homosexual”

And is often appropriating language from LGBT people

Even recent history gets rewritten

The Ace Community really needs to just stop.

Pushing LGBT People Back into the Closet

Homophobia wants gay people to be asexual

Ace discourse has promoted sexually regressive and classic homophobic ideas about sex that has prevented LGB people from fully admitting to themselves their same-gender attraction. (Proof)

Ace discourse against same-gender PDA in LGBT safe spaces is classic homophobia

As well as dangerous to our sexual safety!

PDA is not applied to straight and gay people equally

AIDS/HIV and Serophobia in the Ace Community

“We’re Here, We’re Queer” - was created in response to the AIDS Crisis (Source)

Joking about the crisis to complain about gatekeeping

Resenting AIDS activism so much as to imply no young gay man today could possibly be affected by the AIDS crisis

Assuming no one alive during the crisis is speaking now about seraphobia (The AIDS Crisis is Not Over!)

Imagining sexually transmitted plagues that won’t affect asexuals

“Ok but that was like 40 years ago and homosexuality is now widely accepted”

Homophobia in the Ace Community

Will comment on topics of violent homophobia with “at least they know you exist” so they can kill us

Ace tumblr or conservative republican?

Claiming people who hate aces are “Sexually Deviant”

Masterpost of some really terrible homophobic shit

“Gay people are obsessed with sex!” Edition of Ace Homophobia

This entire tag of fucked up shit ace people have said

Please feel free to reblog and add any arguments I may have missed.

1) Don't worry, I (aka the anon who started it all) don't think your reply came off as hostile at all. It's just so tiring when you want to get some things that bother you off your chest and then the obligatory 'but not all xyz do this or that' happens. Yes, I do know that, but it's a generalization. Not all, but enough to make you think it may even be the better part of the fandom. That being said, I agree with all your points against YOI. OK, so the victuuri relationship may be a cute and

(Rest under the cut) (I also hope no one will lynch me for being lazy and putting this out without doing anything about censoring shipnames but I’ll spam it with all the possible anti tags, fear not)

fluffy one that makes you feel good and warm inside or whatever, but is there really a need to write essays analyzing every single gesture or facial expression and then feel proud of your analytical skills, as if you've just discovered a new planet? No, there is not. It's not that deep; it's actually as straightforward a show as it can be. The bashing of otayuri and pliroy is one thing and it has more to do with the general moral poilce anti trend that is spreading everywhere, so I wouldn't attribute it solely to the YOI fandom. Now on the other hand, the bashing of pliroy just because it's contradictory to otayuri, one of the holy doublet of YOI ships, is something that bothers me personally. It's almost as if shipping anything that directly contradicts victuuri/otayuri is a blasphemy in this fandom and generally looked down upon. I've actually seen someone outright ask why would anyone ship pliroy when otayuri exists/is canon/is clearly a better and more healthy option for Yuri etc. So, this and the constant victuuri/otayuri wank, while all the other characters/smaller ships are mostly a background noise to it; it really seems to me as if 5 fanarts out of 10 on my dashboard would feature victuuri, 4 would feature otayuri and there's only one left for other pairings (one-track-mindedness at its finest). And there's of course the fact that most YOI fans seriously think that victuuri is the first canon gay couple in the history of anime, that the anime itself is revolutionary and progressive, that victuuri is a prefect representation, that YOI is the actual anime of the year, because popularity doesn't lie, and if you dare to disagree with all of those, then you're clearly homophobic and whatnot. Plus, there's the invading of the tags unrelated to YOI (not even for the purpose of recommending other titles but to say something along the lines of 'if shit like xyz got a second season, then YOI deserves at least seven' - actually seen something like that with my own eyes) or hijacking of the serious topics (like the oppression of sexual minorities) and making them all about YOI. And that's just the top of the list of what the YOI fandom is guilty of. But hey, it's alright, because it's 'not all' YOI fans. Siigh. Sorry it got so long, but ugh. Sometimes I wish someone would just delete YOI from existence so that we would be spared of all this saltiness. As for 91d, you're probably right about everything but still, I'll never be able to understand why anyone would just voluntarily turn off their thought processes and comprehension skills just because of some personal biases, especially when it comes to a show such as 91d, that requires at least the bare minimum of thinking and analyzing. But whatever, I guess people nowadays are just too used to having everything spelled out to them and handed on a silver plattter (ex. they should've had it explicitly stated on-screen that Avilio and Nero didn't hate each other).

This goes for all the ‘not all’ arguments; the important thing is, as you said, how widespread a behaviour is statistically within a community, but also whether the other members acknowledge that it’s happening or not. I know it’s easy to take it personally when you hear someone complain about a fandom you’re in, but at that point it really only depends on wording (which is deliberately harsh when someone is just venting, it’s just the way it is).

About meta; yeah, I find a lot of it superfluous as well, as I’ve said before. And by this I don’t mean it should be eliminated from the face of the planet, just that I don’t personally put the 2934892348th detailed explanation on why vn and yk love each other so much in the same ‘tier’ as, say, speculations about the second season or character parallelisms and stuff like that. It’s shipperwankery in the end and I don’t think me making fun of it harms anyone? The only thing I worry about is that it’s hard to separate banter from an actual serious opinion from time to time (could be about how I express myself? Probably yes). No, for the record, I don’t want to exterminate anyone who makes extensive posts about vn’s lustful glare. It’s just... There’s too much of it. Way too much. By the way, the ring controversy and the reaches made there will never not be funny, sorry not sorry.

A bit of a tangent on the otayuri-pliroy conflict; it always seemed so weird to me how similar the two ships are aesthetically? (Considering people keep confusing the two on fanart, I’d say that’s a major fuckup in terms of JJ’s and Otabek’s character design, but that might just be me). I keep getting the impression that they wanted the pliroy bait to go somewhere but then changed their mind for whatever reason and created otayuri as kind of a ‘tamer substitute’. But this is besides the point; it all brings me back to my personal beef with this tendency of positing ‘sugary sweet’ as the only acceptable standard for a relationship because... people are more sensitive nowadays? I can only guess. Viktuuri and otayuri got tied together for some reason, it’s like they come in a package and everyone who ships one has to run with the other as well.

I grieve for the background characters and smaller ships as well, anon. Just imagine the sheer crack potential; and instead, everything gets pushed in the back in favour of the same things over and over. The things that could’ve been: victurio (the underage ship that tumblr will fucking lynch me for), emil/michele, sara/mila, georgi/yurio (yes I do love my crack), chris/victor, chris/that guy we saw in his room, yuuri’s sister/literally anyone (because I like her) and the list could go on and on. But this is not even always about the ship itself; it’s the dynamics, those are what popularizes things. Even when there are ships in other fandoms that have been popular for a longer time, there’s a tendency on tumblr to make them very mild and fluffy. I’m not saying there’s anything we can do about this, nor that something should be done about it, all I’m in opposition to is people who claim it’s the ‘right’ way to do shipping because it’s ‘healthier’ or something, as you put it.

Because popularity doesn’t lie

Thank you, this is exactly how I’d word it as well. The crux of this issue isn’t yoi being objectively good or bad, it’s whether popularity implies that something is good, or not. Or what ‘good’ even means in this context. My personal (salty) opinion is that there are anime that could be enjoyed just as much as (if not more than) yoi if only they got more exposure. I’m not talking about 91d either because I’ve already explained in detail what the problem with advertising it was in the previous post. And yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re talking about that certain addition to the Chechnya post. I can see it was well-intentioned but it was... well... a little bit out of place, to put it in euphemisms? ‘Too soon’, as they say? But, in the end, I’m sort of glad that yoi exists because if not anything else, it can be considered a massive social experiment, an example of fandom behaviour. And if it made some people happy, then I wish them all the best. The fixation with it will go away with time too, eventually.

#anti yoi #anti viktuuri #anti vikturi #anti victuuri #anti victuri #anti yuri on ice #anti otayuri #not really anti otayuri but im tagging it for safety #rambles #thank you anon #Anonymous

“No Matter Where We Go” (4x01) Music Analysis

Okay I just want to start off this post by saying that I absolutely adore (as per usual) the music choices that were made during this episode - they’re always so on point! For 4x01, I’m going to start by analyzing “No Matter Where We Go” by Whitney, which will be found in this post.

To read up on some of my past lyrical analysis’s in my music analysis series, click here.

Anyway, I’m going to try to analyze this song as much as I can (but I do suspect that the song “Deliverance” is going to be the REALLY interesting one in this episode). I managed to track down a video of this scene, but it took me a long time, so I do suggest you watch it before reading.

youtube

Ultimately, this song is about celebration, togetherness, and hope, the last two of with I believe to be huge themes in this upcoming season. In a way, this scene serves much the same purpose as the singing rover scene in 4x01 in that it is a light moment that is supposed to tide us over until we manage to break out of the upcoming darkness. This scene is supposed to provide the audience with a reminder of the future that our character’s are fighting for.

It also, to me, sounds like the wish for new beginnings, but I’ll get into that as I delve into the lyrics more.

The song starts with Monty and Harper dancing shyly (which is honestly adorable all right?) so I do want to keep Marper in mind as I analyze these lyrics. I think we are meant to view the overarching themes of this song as linked to Monty and Harper’s newfound relationship, how they truly want to create a future together (which we will see, is a large part of the song). However, it isn’t just about Monty and Harper - in fact, as the song plays, we most focus on Jasper (like in the rover scene) so I want to talk about how it is related to him as well.

We’ll make a living darlin’, down the road

Since we see Harper and Monty first in this scene, I actually linked these lyrics to them despite the fact that it is Jasper sliding on screen that we actually see when they are sung. These are the lyrics that I think indicate Monty and Harper are hoping for a future, hoping that one day they will at last be prosperous, but not money-related. They’re hoping that one day they won’t have to fight, they’ll just get to live. Maybe not now, but one day. And that’s what I think these two are going to be working towards, fighting for, throughout Season 4. A chance at a future, a chance at a life together.

Cause I’ve got you holding on to see where it goes

This next line, however, I think is linked to Jasper. The idea that due to a series of events, Jasper has been reluctantly “holding on” to life for the past 3-4 months since Maya died is what comes to mind when I hear these lyrics in connection to a shot of Jasper with a pitcher of moonshine in hand. Perhaps it is Monty that has kept him alive for so long, or maybe its just the delinquents in general, or perhaps it is actually the alcohol. Jasper has been holding on to his life for so long, awaiting something to change, looking for a sign that says “you are meant to live” or “you are meant to die”.

And he finally gets his sign, this episode, that he’s meant to die. So he’s going to decide to let fate take care of him, instead of holding on to his life anymore.

So don’t you feel lonely

This line is about the delinquents as a whole, and the theme of “together’’. They’re in this together. They don’t have to be alone anymore. These lyrics are lain over top of Harper and Jasper’s reconciliation scene where she accepts a drink from him and he apologizes to her about attacking her while he was under the influence of the chip. In this moment, they re-cement the bond that broke between Jasper and the other delinquents in Season 3. He’s still destructive, but this time he’s not going to take it out on them.

[...] I want you to know

I can take you out I wanna drive around With you with the windows down

This time we see Jasper trying to pour a cup of moonshine for Raven, which she rejects. In their scene together, the chorus plays. While in the song it is of romantic context, I don’t think that is the way that we necessarily are meant to interpret it in the show. Mostly due to the fact that I believe Jasper will die this season, so I don’t think they are going to put Raven and Jasper together just because I don’t think the writers will put Raven through the loss of another love interest (and I don’t want them to).

I think that these lyrics are actually Jasper acknowledging everything that Raven has been through, and his desire to ... take a weight off of her shoulders? That’s my personal interpretation of it. She deserves to relax and celebrate, and Jasper recognizes that. This is why I love their relationship so much - they do understand each other’s pain and experiences. I love Raven and Jasper’s dynamic, but it doesn’t need to be romantic.

And we can run all night

This is Jasper looking at ALIE’s code on Raven’s monitor(s). He looks very longing and he says the words “is it weird that I want to go back in?” to Raven. He wants to, as the lyrics say, “run” from his pain. He doesn’t want to look back, he just wants to escape. I also think that this chorus of the song, about the singer wanting to let loose and enjoy himself, is foreshadowing of the turn that Jasper takes in this episode. He knows the end of the world is approaching to take him out of his misery, so in the meantime he resolves to metaphorically “drive around” with the “windows down” - to enjoy himself.

When I was walking around I couldn’t see you alone

I think this is related to both Jasper and Raven in relation to each other. When they were stuck focussed on their personal pain and suffering back in Season 3, they didn’t notice that the other was going through a very similar process. I have always maintained that Jasper and Raven’s pain is very similar to each other in the sense that they both have suffered from the loss of a loved one as well as were viewed as “broken”. They were both very isolated from their friends last season, and pushed everyone away.

This is almost like an acknowledgement that all this time they were going through similar experiences, yet never thought to reach out to each other. That’s something that happened (sort of) once they both took the chip, and they connected through that shared experience.

I bought a trash-heap two seat so what did we know? So don’t you feel lonely no matter where you go

This is in reference to a shitty car, basically, that was used for the singer’s escape. Which is incredibly interesting in the context of the show, because what did Jasper and Raven use to escape their own pain? The chip. So in this context I believe the “trash heap two seat” refers to the chip. It wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. It was just a shitty car. (Metaphorically, duh)

But the point is that Raven and Jasper both took that crappy escape, and they can relate to each other. So they aren’t alone (and that’s where the second line comes in). Raven asks Jasper if he’s okay, acknowledging what he’s been through because she’s been through the same. And Jasper turns it around on her, because he believes she’s been through more than anyone. It’s a mutual understanding of how the other feels.

When Raven says the line, “There’s nothing like a little pain to remind you you’re alive”, she is, again, acknowledging what he has been through, and the pain that he is feeling, as well as implying that she feels the same. Their shared experience makes them relate to each other, it makes them feel less alone.

I can take you out I wanna drive around With you with the windows down And we can run all night

Mama, don’t slow down

I’m not entirely sure, but I think this could be in reference to Raven refusing to slow down and celebrate with her friends. Her brain won’t slow down, so neither will she. She’ll continue working until the sun (literally) dies.

An interesting thing to take note of, is that even after Monty and Harper leave, the song doesn’t actually fade out until Jasper is completely off of the screen. So I believe that I am correct in my interpretation that we were mostly supposed to connect it to Jasper’s journey in Season 3 and Season 4.

I also think that the way Raven doesn’t allow herself to break out of her facade and let herself feel her pain until her friends are gone (and the music ends) shows how the upbeat tone of the song and the wishes for a happy and relaxing future just aren’t a reality for her. She pretended to be okay, happy, but when she no longer had to do that, she turned the music off. It’s symbolic of the person Raven pretends to be around her friends. When they’re around, the music plays - she pretends to be invincible and unaffected, optimistic. When they’re gone, the music stops, and she allows herself to feel everything with no one seeing it.

So that’s my interpretation of the song. A few interesting things to take note of. Overall, I believe it is a representation of the themes of Season 4 (”together”, hope, fighting for a better future) as well as an indication of Jasper’s journey. There are a few other things here and there, but those were the main points.

I’m really looking forward to analyzing “Deliverance” because that song is just ... WOW! It will be interesting. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading and I’m going to tag some people who wanted to be tagged in the past. If you no longer want to be tagged, no problem: just let me know.

How to share creative work fairly in the digital age

Reposting beautiful illustrations, inspiring quotes, and funny doodles on social media has become ingrained in our online habits—it’s a new era of digital sharing, and we’re still kinda figuring things out. But there are certainly a few fundamental things to take into consideration before sharing the next illustration that makes you feel, “it me”.

In many cases, these viral gems are original creative works by an artist—an illustrator or graphic designer who has decided to bless us by posting their work online. Artists share their own work as a means of growing their business, to build their portfolio or online presence—of course they want to attract fans and customers who might purchase from their store, hire them for a project, or recommend them to others.

But what often happens is that the original creator’s Instagram handle gets cut off in the process of reposting, or their image is simply uploaded to Twitter without any credit, shared without any trace back to where it came from. There are consequences to this which can affect a designer’s livelihood. So it’s important for all of us to know how to share creative work properly online, whether we want to repost something to a personal channel, or a brand social account. I reached out to artist and author Adam J. Kurtz to learn more and put together this deep dive on how to do it right.

this is actually sorta the opposite of that old one i posted last week oops

actually just made this today during a zine making workshop i did for @wix’s design playground. it was a fully analog exercise (except for one or two designers who cheated but ok i know it’s hard to not use all our tools!!!) but i just did this little single panel version to share because i like it so much. anyway i had a great time thanks for having me etc.

Meet Adam J. Kurtz, an artist and author whose work often goes viral—often without credit

Adam recently published a vlog about his experience of finding his work posted to a company’s social media channel, without his permission or credit. Adam’s first step was to contact the company directly first, asking for the post to be deleted. He received an apology, and was promised that it wouldn’t happen again, however it totally did happen again with the same company. So Adam decided the next step was to request a payment for a ‘retroactive social media license’ for the use of his work—he invoiced the company and was successfully paid. Adam’s vlog is a great explainer on how to share creative work properly online, whether for personal or work use:

When I first saw Adam’s video I was instantly struck by how well he addressed this new aspect of digital sharing. “I don’t think many of us can exist without sharing our work online”, Adam told me by email, when I asked him about being a very shareable creative in the digital age. “Whether it’s a creative studio portfolio showcase, or individual creatives sharing new work, process, daily warm-ups, or other bits and pieces. It’s how we build our brands, find new fans, and get more clients. This is how the business mostly works now. It can be scary enough to share your work with an audience when you’re worried they might not like it,” Adam explained.

Adam makes a living from his creative work—he’s designed products for the likes of Fish’s Eddy, Urban Outfitters, Tattly, and some of his other clients are Adobe, Instagram, The New York Times, Penguin Random House, Pepsi. Adam’s products, his writing and graphics tap into universal themes that resonate deeply (and are super fun)—it’s understandable that many people connect with what he does and that his work often goes viral.

the bitch (ur undeniable responsibility for ur own actions) is back

A post shared by Adam J. Kurtz (@adamjk) on Dec 23, 2017 at 9:35am PST

While an artist can choose to share their work online to build their own following and establish a presence online—Adam for example has built a following of nearly 200,000 followers on his Instagram account—we need to be more aware of the best way to share designs when it’s created by someone else—whether it’s on our personal account, or when sharing something for a business.

What are the best practices when sharing creative work online?

View this post on Instagram

inspired by the response to my lil “f u pay me” vlog, here are some guidelines on how to repost my work. in general i’m rly chill and grateful about this but i’m not trying to directly help you sell your granola or meditation classes… when a company wants to use my art for business purposes they can hire me or license something. and of course use your best judgement! . if you’re coming to my instagram or anyone else’s and thinking it’s just a stock image service, you’re mistaken. if you’re enjoying something or feeling encouraged, that’s totally awesome (and the point) and i’m so glad. this post is really more geared towards stopping companies from posting for their own profit, under the guise of “friendly reposts” that undervalue creative work made by real human people. . and if you wanna hear me talk about this for 13 minutes head to YOUTUBE.COM/ADAMJK

i kinda just went in on how our creative work has value and how it’s up to all of us to educate others, especially if we work for a company with a social media team.

the response has honestly got me inspired to talk more and put more videos up. . p.s. i’m not here to publicly shame anyone! that’s not usually the best way to get things done. but if you wanna repost these guidelines or privately share this post with an account you see doing this stuff often, that’d be cool. remember that kindness is often more powerful than anger, especially when trying to educate someone!

Of course if you find something funny or touching, you want to share it with your followers—and there are soooooo many social sharing buttons which make this super easy. But this also makes it easy to accidentally or otherwise cut off the original creator’s handle. When people repost artist’s work to a personal network, this is no doubt a very beneficial action for artists, but you still want to just check quickly that you’ve credited the work properly.

Adam’s tip: When sharing to your personal account, tag the creator in both the image and caption, don’t alter the image, or edit out the creator’s handle or watermark.

Here are some best practises based on Adam’s suggestions, that we encourage everyone (whether for personal or biz use) to consider when sharing creative work—that could be a cartoon, illustration, quote, photo or other image. It’s super helpful advice that can generally be applied to all creative work:

Check that the artist’s credit is not buried under a long comment and paragraph of hashtags. Be mindful of tagging the artist in the first couple of lines underneath the post.

Feature the artist: Is the work being shared because it’s going viral and you want to get in on that, or to showcase the artist? In Adam’s case, he is only ok with brands sharing his work if the point is to showcase the work itself.

Communicate: Brands should not share work without a credit or if the image has been altered. A partnership should not be implied, and the post shouldn’t advertise a sale or promotion if there isn’t one. If you want to set up a partnership with a designer based off an example of their work you like, reach out!

Some of this is common sense, but it’s always good to remind ourselves that there are living, breathing humans behind these designs whose livelihood depends on being properly credited for their work. Why do they post it online if they don’t want us to share it, you ask? Good question! The point is, artists are quite happy for you to share their work—the right way, and with a proper credit. And if you’re a brand using someone’s creative work to build your following online, there should be compensation involved for the artist.

. i’m donating 100% of my pride month royalties for @thingsarewhatyoumakeofthem to the @teganandsarafoundation to help them support economic justice, health, and representation for LGBTQ girls and women. . you might remember we raised $7,500 for this great organization with the book preorder campaign last year, but I’m hoping this is a continued opportunity to use my art for good in the same way that @teganandsara continue to use theirs, leading by example for so many of us. . i earn $1.05 per book sold (in bookstores, on amazon, at my 6/13 @strandbookstore event, etc) so we’ll see how much it ends up being! if you haven’t got a copy yet this might be a perfect excuse to help yourself and others. . more details at thingsarewhatyoumakeofthem.com/pride. #thingsare #pride

I don’t want to scare you from sharing your favourite artist’s work, just be careful about how you share it. Creative people are tired of being told that the ‘exposure’ will be great—if it’s for personal use, a credit can go a long way to bringing new fans (and possible buyers) to a designer’s website. If you’re a brand, unless you’re showcasing the artist’s work only, there’s a responsibility to pay the artist for using their creative work—bills can’t be paid with exposure.

Tips for creators: what to do when you find your work shared without credit

Adam also pointed out to me that the risk for artists these days is not only if the work will be received well, but if it might take on a life of its own without any connection back to the artist, spiralling off into the digital sphere across the umpteen platforms we’re all constantly updating, streaming and scrolling through.

“Now you have to be kind of worried that they will [like it], and might help themselves to it for any number of reasons,” Adam explained. “My perspective is kind of the same for both—make your work and share it. If people don’t like it, they keep on scrolling. If one bad apple out there does repost or otherwise use your work unfairly, you can deal with it then.”

For designers who might be hesitant about sharing their work online, Adam feels that the positive results outweigh the possible risk. “If you don’t share, nobody can ever see anything,” he says. “That is worse than any other negative outcomes. We can’t worry about what we can’t control, so try to let go of those concerns until they become relevant. That’s just good life advice in general, really.”

If you’re a designer and you find that someone has posted your work without permission or without a credit, here are some tips for creatives that Adam shared with me.

Ask accounts to update their caption: Adam says, “It sucks when it’s already been up for a while, so there’s not the same benefit of having your work seen and a possible influx of followers. But I have a keyboard “text replacement” shortcut on my phone now. With a few taps I can easily paste a little comment that basically says, “Hi thanks for sharing my work but please credit me in the caption so your followers can find my art and books.” It’s not written aggressively, and since I started doing it, most people have responded positively.

Send a private email or direct message first: “There are plenty of people tweeting at big brands and seeing no retweets, no comments, and no response from the brand. So my approach is typically to be direct and discreet first. I DM the brand, email a listed address, or something like that. It keeps people from being on the defensive. And while I can’t really spend the time to educate everybody, it can make a difference later.”

Adam also told us how a proper credit can go a long way for an artist, if their work is featured and shared with a big audience:

When ‘exposure’ is maybe okay but probably not legal: Adam says, “I’ve had one or two popular Instagram accounts […] share my work properly, with clear credit, to audiences of several million. That’s the kind of reposting that we’d all like, where a huge audience gets exposed to our work, and maybe 100+ new followers find us as a result. Reposting content might be questionably legal in the first place, but in the case of those big meme accounts, you can get your ‘payment’ in the form of that proper crediting.”

At the end of the day, if you’re a creative person who’s producing artwork, you should get to decide how that art is used.

Remember, it’s your work—decide how you want your work to be shared: Adam says, “When it’s a company, you are in charge. You might not want a certain business using your art to promote their stuff. You can ask them to delete it, and if they really keep ignoring you, you actually can file a copyright claim through Instagram support. Your work has a value and if a brand hasn’t asked or paid for it first, then you can decide how to respond. It’s your work.”

So, what’s the best way to share my next favourite relatable #content?

In an ideal world everyone would stop and think, “Where did this come from?” before sharing the next pug cartoon or cute illustration which is going viral. When posting to your personal social media channels, make sure you credit the original artist properly with a visible tag, and if an artist has added their name at the bottom of an artwork, don’t cut it off if you’re using a tool which resizes an image (the work should really not be edited at all).

What to do if you’re not sure where an illustration came from? Try to trace it back from where you found it, or use Google reverse image search.

If you’re working for a brand and want to share original work to showcase an artist’s work, at least seek permission first with an explanation as to why you want to make the post, and make sure to add a link to their handle at the top of the description. If the post is being used to promote a business or build brand awareness, contact the artist first to discuss compensation—or commission something especially for you!

Finally, if you notice someone sharing original work without an artist credit, give them a polite heads up and encourage them to repost it with a correction. The artist will love you for it.

Want something created especially for you?

Work directly with a designer to make it happen.

Ace Discourse Masterpost

So without further ado, The Ace Discourse Masterpost:

Why Asexuality is Not Oppressed

A comparison of asexuality to racism and why it does not meet the definition of systemic oppression

A Debunking of the study often cited as proof of Asexual Oppression and Acephobia

Another response to the oft cited study.

And denying oppression is not proof it exists

Oppression is systematic, not individual

Asexuality does not need to be oppressed to still be valid

Gatekeeping

The LGBT community was created to combat transphobia and homophobia

Gatekeeping doesn’t mean what you think it does

“The LGBT Community is meant to be inclusive!!”

Safe Spaces are meant to be exclusive

And thus excluding cishet aces protects LGBT people

On Oppression Olympics

If not LGBT, where do asexual people belong?

On the assumption that some LGBT people live happy homophobia free lives and should be called “not queer enough” too.

The emergence of REG, “ Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeepers”

REG is just another version of using “it’s the same as ___” to gain legitimacy

The Queer Identity

The history of “queer” as a slur and why its not an umbrella term

Insisting “queer” is an umbrella term for abnormal/deviant people is classic homophobia

Queer is also often used to intentionally erase an individuals distinct identity and relation to oppression

Queer can never fully be reclaimed

On queer theory and the true history of the term

A is for Asexual

How AVEN started the A for Asexual, fully aware that it was also being used for allies. (Arguing the origin of A as Ally is pointless now, this post explains it all from the horse’s mouth)

Why trying to use MOGAI instead does not work.

Ableism and The DSM

A thorough argument on why hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in the DSM is not proof of oppression against asexuals, and is in fact a homophobic and ableist claim.

More on HSDD and the absurdity of claiming it targets asexual people

More on the history of the slur homosexuality and how it was used to medically torture gay people.

Autistic people are often assumed to be asexual (And are not meant to be ace representation)

A Complete Guide to How the Ace Community has lied about the Pathologization of Asexuality and Fearmongered Young Aces into thinking Anti-Ace Conversion Therapy is a Thing

Split Attraction Model (Asexuality is not Straight!)

Why the split attraction model is bad and people hate it.

It makes gross assumptions about non-asexual people who do not use the model, and conflates sexual attraction with sexual orientation

Sectioning personal thoughts on sex and using mogai labels are ultimately useless

The -sexual prefix has always meant gender not sex

Attraction cannot be so evenly split into Romantic or Sexual

“You must be cisgender, heteroromantic, and heterosexual to be Straight!”

Also “Homoromantic” is a terrible word

The History of the word Straight

Allosexual & Allosexual Privilege

Why Allosexual is a terrible term

The word makes sweeping assumptions about someone’s private sexual feelings for vast number of people. (tl;dr version)

The person who coined the term now opposes it’s use.

There is no such thing as sexual privilege.

SGA people have a relationship to sex based on our oppression that straight asexual people cannot understand or experience

The failure of liberal analysis of power structures

Refuting the idea that LGBT people don’t face homophobia or transphobia even in more liberal places.

A cringe-worthy comic that assumes “allosexual” people easily know their sexual orientation because sex

Can you all just stop with this shit, really?

Monosexism, allosexuality’s evil cousin, has many of the same issues.

TL;DR Another brief argument against Allosexual

Corrective Rape

The term “corrective rape” has been appropriated from a very specific homophobic hate crime in South Africa to mean any kind of rape that punishes the victim.

The UN updated it’s terminology guidelines to refer to it as homophobic rape to “note the deep-seated homophobia that motivates the hate crime”

Often used as a gotcha argument than concern for rape victims.

Supporting Rape Culture and Pedophilia

Discourse about ace people having sex is often thinly veiled rape culture

Claiming rape is worse for asexual people again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Is the discourse becoming too “inclusive” of pedophiles?

The troubling trend of protecting pedophiles and calling out victims

On Sex In General

How capitalism affects our perceptions of sexual culture

Asexuality is about sex in a way being Gay/Bi is not (And how it relates to explaining sex and sexuality to children)

Aces need to talk about sex too!

Erasure and Visibility

Visibility directly contributes to the violence LGBT people face

Visibility is not always positive and is often stereotyped and not good for LGBT people

Accepted versus Respected

“At least you have representation!”

A History of Ahistory

Arguments that the Spinster Movement was about asexuality cherry picks history

Another post about the Spinster Movement

Assuming Boston Marriages were about asexuality

Asexuality is based on western/eurocentric ideas of sexuality

New terminology lacks historical context of “homosexual”

And is often appropriating language from LGBT people

Even recent history gets rewritten

The Ace Community really needs to just stop.

Pushing LGBT People Back into the Closet

Homophobia wants gay people to be asexual

Ace discourse has promoted sexually regressive and classic homophobic ideas about sex that has prevented LGB people from fully admitting to themselves their same-gender attraction. (Proof)

Ace discourse against same-gender PDA in LGBT safe spaces is classic homophobia

As well as dangerous to our sexual safety!

PDA is not applied to straight and gay people equally

AIDS/HIV and Serophobia in the Ace Community

“We’re Here, We’re Queer” - was created in response to the AIDS Crisis (Source)

Joking about the crisis to complain about gatekeeping

Resenting AIDS activism so much as to imply no young gay man today could possibly be affected by the AIDS crisis

Assuming no one alive during the crisis is speaking now about seraphobia (The AIDS Crisis is Not Over!)

Imagining sexually transmitted plagues that won’t affect asexuals

“Ok but that was like 40 years ago and homosexuality is now widely accepted”

Homophobia in the Ace Community

Will comment on topics of violent homophobia with “at least they know you exist” so they can kill us

Ace tumblr or conservative republican?

Claiming people who hate aces are “Sexually Deviant”

Masterpost of some really terrible homophobic shit

“Gay people are obsessed with sex!” Edition of Ace Homophobia

This entire tag of fucked up shit ace people have said

Please feel free to reblog and add any arguments I may have missed.
