what the fuck do you MEAN dont call trans men honey. literally gender neutral. when an old lady calls me honey it makes me smile
Did you know the world extends beyond America and in different places words can have different meanings? Let's do some simple examples.
UK - 'cunt' is rude but said quite frequently without anyone being stabbed for using it.
Australia - 'cunt' is a friendly nickname, widely used and not considered offensive.
America - y'all will lose your mind over 'cunt' as being one of the worst words you can use.
You understand how living a sheltered America-centric existence might have shaped your worldview? You understand that your experience is not universal? You understand that continuing to call trans people terms like 'honey', 'girl', 'dude', or 'bro' after being asked not to makes you a transphobe?
Don't be a transphobe. It just makes you look like a cunt.

Shipcourse+ Terms
For people who want to reclaim shipcourse stances as a non-serious communication device of sorts. Either as a spiteful response to existing Discourse or just to be silly. Not to be used to participate in 'regular' Discourse (which is very toxic and often frames being pro-censorship as the morally 'good' decision despite how that's historically been used to harm queer and non-normative communities). Inspired by a specific anon ask on the blog of @frb-but-cooler (pls let me know if you want me to delete the ping).
Bishipcourse: Being both pro-ship and anti-ship. Panshipcourse: Having multiple shipcourse stances at once. Omnishipcourse: Having all possible shipcourse stances at once. Payshipcourse: Inspired by payqueer (? think I got that right) where you must pay a certain amount of money to discover what someone's shipcourse stance is, which is a reference to '$(amount) for anon hate' some people have adopted as a response to being tired of Discourse.

In the context of fiction and media, everything is so sexualized especially when I think of shipping. Even ships with underage minors and adults are popular and why?? Fiction directly affects reality does it not? Why is it okay to show that?
Sexuality is a very normal, healthy part of human behavior. While some people are asexual and that is also normal and healthy, the majority are not. Most people like sex, find it fun and meaningful. All human experiences should be reflected in art (what else is art for?), so sexuality should be reflected in a lot of art.
Unfortunately, we live in a culture that paradoxically both idolizes and shames sexuality, and this is as prevalent among the fundamentalist religious as it is among leftist spaces. So when art ignores sexuality completely, or ignores certain types of sexuality (see, the female gaze, or queer expressions of sex) fans will create that art themselves--such as via shipping. Shipping is simply "there's a story to be told here" and that story may or may not involve sex (most often does) and even in some cases, be primarily about sex.
Fiction is both shaped by reality and can shape reality, but that's not the same as saying it's a 1=1 mirror of reality where you can exactly correlate A cause with B result. Like, look up the anti video game movement of the 90s, the Satanic Panic and the way emo music was blamed for tragedies like Columbine, and ask yourself why people who like detective mysteries aren't murderers.
Yet, there is nuance here for sure. Like, I'll just bluntly state moral policing is a boring way to engage with art and fandom, and that goes beyond just sexuality. However, that isn't the same as saying take off your critical thinking hat, anything goes. Criticism is a very necessary part of fandom and engagement, and must be allowed (shakes fist at toxic positivity). But criticism as a field is designed to open doors more so than close them. It's a discussion more than anything else (note: discussing does not mean conclusions can't be drawn; they can). I have called out the real life implications of different stories before, and I'll do it again.
Me saying "moral policing stories is boring" also isn't me advocating for amorality. Not at all. Ethical questions posed by works can elevate a work to the realm of a masterpiece. There's a reason The Brothers Karamazov is considered top-tier literature. But ethics and morality are best explored not through statements, but through examination of what someone means when they say something is wrong or right. Fiction is a fabulous way to do this.
Let's use the example of minors and adults. Sad face, because "minor" in fandom can mean anything from "short person" (yes, really, I've seen that argued that someone who is short is "minor coded") to "17 year old" to "five year old." Shipping a 17 year old and an 18 year old is way different than, say, a preteen and a person their parent's age.
Like, in real life, people do not have a magical switch in their brain when they turn 18. An 18 year old dating a 17 year old is normal. It's not ethically dubious. An 18 year old (legal!) dating a 40 year old? Is ethically suspect to me, even if it isn't illegal. Ages are the best ways we have to protect children and keep them safe, but there's a reason most laws allow for an 18 and a 17 year old to date. At the same time, no one in their right mind would object to the moral statement "minors shouldn't date adults" (unless you're Matt Gaetz) with a "WELL WHAT ABOUT" because basic guardrails can't be built around exceptions, and the alternative is so horrifying that the guardrail exists for a damn good reason. But real life or fictitious, an 18 and 17 year old is not really sketchy.
Plus, I caution that the portrayal of a thing isn't necessarily the endorsement or "normalization" of said thing. Framing matters. A story can be used to powerfully show the pain of entering a relationship in which a young person is in way over their head. In fandom specifically, the shipping "story" people are interested in, regardless of ages or whatnot, might not be a happily-ever-after one, and might be a way to process their own abuse. I think there's a famous queer author who got "cancelled" for this, but she was processing her own experiences and framed it as negative, which is very sad.
There are other considerations too. For example, the medium of a story also matters. Film (and theater) inherently muddy the fiction and reality discourse dilemma in a way that written or drawn mediums do not: they use real people, so there are multiple layers in which this discourse can be discussed. Fandom and shipping, however, does not (on the whole) use these mediums.
I also know some people age up characters or de-age them to ship them at the same age, because they like the dynamic but do have ethical concerns about ages. I personally feel squicked out when there's a power dynamic like minor/adult (as in the paragraph above), teacher/student, or mentor/mentee, even if both are adults. And yet despite this I still like stories like Scum Villain's Self Saving System which are literally designed to provoke questions about shipping and fandom and morality, because they make me use my critical thinking and are aware of the problematic aspects of their works and precisely explore what makes it problematic, and what makes it not. SVSSS approaches it like:
A teacher who abuses his pupil enters into a relationship with him when they are adults, no grooming when kids. Sounds ethically suspect, right?
What if it's set in an ancient fantasy world where people fly on swords and live as immortals?
What happens to the idea of age (past a certain point in development) when you're immortal and stay physically young? (We don't have a real-life starting point for this.)
What if said teacher is literally no longer the same soul, but has been swapped for another soul?
What if the new soul is forced to be unkind under pain of not just death but soul obliteration?
What if age becomes speculative because the new soul isn't necessarily older than the pupil?
You see, there are a million angles from which SVSSS approaches this question, and ties these questions in with themes about individuality and presuppositions (essentially: see the individual more than the "type" of character). It's not mocking the questions. It's genuinely exploring them.
So, ethical questions can be very interesting in stories, and in terms of how fans interact with fiction as well. But not in terms of preaching, but in terms of interaction, in terms of making you question things--which is not the same as tossing aside all principles of morality.

The Hetalia fandom has genuinely done some fucked up shit but hey at the very least we haven't accused someone of faking their CSA and randomly accused people of being nonces because they don't like our ship (at least not yet)

How does it feel to know that you've bullied countless people out of the TF fandom? You have a reputation, people talk about how scared they are to stand up to you. It's gonna catch up to you someday. You're a sick person and you should feel ashamed
Dude… all the people I’ve ever called out before are related to one of two things: scamming artists and writers in the fandom out of promised pay for their labor, or uh for litterally being TFcon and banning “crossdressing” at cons and not communicating with artists.
For the first, I’ve provided proof via spreadsheets and investigations of Kickstarter activities that involved misallocations of funds. If you wanna read that callout, which by the way I was asked to write by members of a project who did not feel safe publicly calling it out themselves, its here(thread):
Tumblr media
And the other one… the TFcon one, is here (thread):
Tumblr media
Though I’m guessing by “bullying” you mean blocking people or privately talking to my friends about someone when they were a fuck to me.
Idk how to tell ya this bud but that’s not really the same thing as bullying. If someone put you up to saying this to me, uh maybe take a moment to think about how they treat others around them and if it’s really the kind of behavior you think is worth sending cringe anon hate over. Usually when I’m mad about something like someone was a dick to my friends I try to do something with a positive impact that helps my community or friend group. Like making a gift for someone, or making a public VRchat avatar for folks to enjoy. Or drawing some vent art then talking about my feelings. I hope you find a healthy outlet for your misplaced rage, and take some time to reflect on what’s actually bugging you feelings wise. I’m gonna go make a quest version of that Mirage model so everyone has a chance to twerk with him if they wanna lol.
Ps: find someone cooler to be afraid of. I spend most of my time drawing weird stuff like overlord with a big butthole and robots with balls. I’m slightly flattered that you find me intimidating, but like really I don’t have much pull in the fandom. The fact you came to my tumblr where i get like zero engagement kinda speaks to that. When I speak up about things it’s usually because I’ve seen my friends or someone I care for being hurt, or in very rare cases someone has violated my privacy. These are all very easy things to avoid doing.

Ok but are you gonna kill yourself? Asking for a friend.
No no, I'm fine, thanks!! Appreciate the concern (?) but I'm good, just bewildered and a little bit hurt; ostensibly we're all on the same side here...? We all agree with genocide is bad??? Why am I getting this kind of reaction for disagreeing on something that ultimate comes down to personal experience?
It's also the first time I've been told to kill myself by a stranger.
And also the first time I've had anon hate.
When I see anons in my inbox, it's funny, because I'm seeing all the rancid personal attacks and then beneath it is like... a handful of kind anons from when I was in the WoW community, which itself is a hive of scum and villainy.
I'm trying not to be bothered. The people sending these seem angry, and I can empathize with that. I'm angry too. I'm furious, every single day I'm alive, at all the injustice in the world; I can understand this anger, and I'm in solidarity with it, honestly.
I just don't get why we're targeting each other instead of focusing that rage and disgust against the people who have the capacity to stop this, and don't.
I guess it's easier to tell a stranger to kill themselves than to enact actual change.
Like, objectively, it is.

absolute hell nightmare is being exposed to both sides of the hell nightmare discourse of shipping discourse as a kid and now seeing posts calling both sides out but only for stupid inaccurate reasons and not like. the actual problems. which aren’t like. everyone being evil monsters and them being stupid unnuanced takes on something complicated reduced to something stupid and the extreme us vs them mentalities that make just being in those groups isolating and traumatic. saying everyone involved in one side is a monster who should commit suicide isn’t helping especially since a lot are literal kids please stop doing that.

I might get flame for this but (under read more because it's long and diskhorse)
Yes, i did watch the leaked episode, No i will not post anything about it until after it comes out, and yes, i believe yelling at people for watching it early wont do a lot. Little things from shows get leaked a lot, yes, especially nearing its air date (the internet today is just stupid like this unfortunately, in a perfect world this wouldn't happen at all). But a whole episode TWO WEEKS before its supposed to come out?? Yall... Disney may have cancelled this show wrongfully, and people just are eager for new content, but this far from its airing date is just.. kinda rude and a pretty bad misuse of whatever power was used to obtain the episode. Yes, you can make an argument against watching the leaks early and yes, you can make an argument about Not watching the leaks early. Personally my opinion is that we should be worried less about the ethics of watching or not watching the leak, and be more worried about a show (that has had SO much hard work and love put into it and has been SO wrongfully cancelled) being leaked so far when it was supposed to air (Im not trying to say people aren't talking about it tho) ! And the bad decision of ruining it for other people too!! Please, think before you post so you don't ruin other people's fun. If you really want to talk about the new content, or if you or someone else wants a link to the link, then do it in private.
Listen, new content from a show you like is exciting and all, but if you get to see it before other people do, just dont post anything about it at all. Just let people experience how they want and when they want, ok?
I know that the leaked episode has been posted on the 'The Owl House Club' website and Youtube. Im sure it will be posted a lot more in the next two weeks everywhere in the internet, so be warned. Ive been reporting all the full episode leaks I find on YT for 'harmful acts',and one has already been taken down as I write this (unless it comes back up). Piracy is ok in most forms, but I believe that this isn't one of them. If you want to watch the ep early then go ahead, but just be kind to those who don't ok?
Everyone is free to voice their opinions in replies, but if you clog them up with just being rude then I'll block you.
I am being fairly harsh with the ban hammer so don't take it to hard if I do ban you. However, if you want to talk about the episode **privately** then don't be afraid to pm me! Also, I will probably queue up a post for a day after the episodes proper premiere (1/22/23) with my reactions so :-]

Oh, no, no, no, no. But you asked.
Misha posted a post re: Israel/Gaza and some fuckery occurred, people are accusing Misha of revisionist history and not wanting to use the word genocide, he asked for other’s opinions and a instead he’s getting attacked, told to die and some people are now hating him.
He deleted some tweets and now people are using screenshots of the deleted tweets and its all a massive shitshow.
tldr: Social media is scum and be thankful you missed it.
thank you for your insight anon!! i would love to read the article before i actually draw an opinion on it but i think i have a semi clear idea of what went down now. do you, or anyone else have the link to the article? or maybe screenshots?

ai art could be a genuinely new way of expressing ideas and concepts, as art tends to do, but no one wants to or should do that with other people's art fed into the ai without their consent. i thought we had settled the debate on whether ai art would be real art or not before it even started being a real thing

it's really fun when your ND ass is super unable to look away from perceived injustice and also hates being misunderstood. I'm just gonna have to get over the anons attacking arguments I didn't make, putting words in my mouth that I never said.
It's cool, gang. Keep telling people with burn out that their contributions mean nothing if they don't keep pushing and pushing and pushing until they die.
Meanwhile, I'm not going to back down on if you're experiencing compassion fatigue and burn out, you're not a horrible person who 'never had compassion in the first place'. You're not selfish and a zionist and a lover of genocide for not being able to be an activist 24/7. We are all only human.
Don't forgive. Don't forget. Keep apprised the of the situation, act in whatever ways you're able; do your best. If you need to rest, rest. If you need to close your eyes, only make sure you open them again.
Compassion fatigue cannot excuse willful inaction and blindness. Only allow for taking a break.
And also, maybe don't center compassion fatigue in activist spaces.
I was told that's exactly what I did here, but my whole argument came from someone specifically addressing compassion fatigue, not a discussion about Palestine derailed by people talking about it. We can discuss both things, I didn't intrude on a space where Palestine was being discussed, I was discussing the topic at hand.

(reply via @nebulabrainmatter)
genuinely. like calm down op's not dropping napalm on your fucking house do the "don't like don't interact" shit you spew everywhere else in fandom spaces and move on if you don't like what a random misinformed stranger says on the internet.
Steven Universe: Eh, I don't really feel like saying "girlfriend" or "wife". Maybe they're together. They have a special connection...
(gets violently shoved aside)
The Loud House/Craig of the Creek/The Owl House: Pfft, amateur. "My GIRLFRIEND Sam and I..." "I'm texting my GIRLFRIEND, mind your business." "Luz's new GF showed her..."
