From what I can gather, everyone seems to hate James Somerton for his takes on straight women, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people, and his plagiarism.

Not to be that guy, but...

80% of Tumblr is just insane, ahistorical takes on straight, gay, transgender, and bisexual men— all in the name of feminism aka plagiarized Marxism with a pink veneer. Hell, Baeddelism is literally transwomen's version of trans exclusive radical feminism.

If he's an asshole for doing it, then so are you.

MRA or meninists are so frustrating to talk to. They can't stay on topic for shit. Motherfuckers will be like "Men don't have reproductive rights" and you'll be like "You can buy condoms and get vasectomies without pushback, how do you not have reproductive rights?" and they'll be like "Women take away our rights with alimony and paternity."

THAT'S NOT EVEN THE SAME ISSUE. PATERNITY ISN'T EVEN AN ISSUE AT ALL.

They did the same thing with the bear or man discourse, which everyone missed the point of. Women were saying bear because the worse thing a bear could do was kill you, and dumbfucks would respond with "Well a man would also rather be with a bear because a bear won't lie and cheat on them." You had to come up with an entirely new scenario.

There are real social issues men deal with, but instead of raising awareness and creating support groups, MRA types want to spend all of their time arguing with feminists and trying to downplay women's issues. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when the biggest issue facing one side is being raped, killed, or pressured into a potentially life-altering decision for the 15 minutes of someone else's pleasure, meanwhile the biggest issue supposedly facing your side is being a father?

KOSA update 7/25/24:

Well, unsurprisingly, KOSA passed the Senate procedural vote 86-1.

Proof:

Again, they still have to vote on the final passage & the House still has to vote on it as well.

So, focus on your House Representative now; Continue to call them & tell them to vote ‘No’ to KOSA. Remember: There is more opposition to KOSA in the House.

Spread this around. Don’t panic!

Keep calm & keep fighting!!

take my hand for a moment

your objective from this point on is to survive

the election results are going to take a few days. The world is going to be very tense. I want you to take all the things you like to do to distract yourself and splurge on them. I want you to go eat your favroite foods and spend time with friends. I want you to do what you gotta do to make sure you can make it through the week.

There are people out there who want you to survive. There are people out there who are just as scared as you are.

We'll get through this. We will find a way

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

Look tumblr, I only came here to post my art and consume fan fiction. Just because I visited the blog of someone who's so deep into online politics that they don't know what the real world looks like anymore doesn't mean that I want to see more posts about it. I just wanted to see if they had anymore dpxdc content!

I block/hit the 'not interested' button when posts I have not interest in disrupt my scrolling. Sorry if I happened to have blocked you. We don't have the same interests 🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️

This is legit scary. Marsha Blackburn is openly admitting that her bill KOSA will be used to drive trans people off the internet.

But Democrats are lining up to support it, and LGBTQIA+ orgs have dropped their opposition. WTF WTF WTF

[eziojensenthe3rd]

Republicans nuked KOSA. Its considered DOA and wont be showing up at the house. This is good news certanly but its not entirely over. This bill got bipartisan support back in the senate, dickheads from both sides thought the idea behind kosa was worth doing, its just that the republican party decided to nuke it for reasons im trying to figure out? To try to deny a win for democrats similar to how they stopped a cancer research bill?

Something like kosa will pop up again, kosa itself may just rise from the grave and we'll have to go through this same song and dance so all i can say is stay informed on this type of shit. Inform your senators and reps not to support this shit and if they dont oppose it, vote them out in the next election they're running in.

There are bills that do in fact regulate the internet in a way that helps but also doesnt violate free speech by targeting how data is harvested. Thise bills should be pushed while censorship should die. For now, celebrate this day. KOSA atm is dead, done so in a manner so anticlimatic yet deserving. But be vigilant.

Why are there so many people who subscribe to bizarre bastardizations of authoritarian ideologies like Nicefems and TIRFs?

You can't make your hate for personal liberty intersectional, no matter how hard you try.

[eradicatetehnormal]

The way Keffals has done work in the real fucking world and has been SWATTED for her beliefs, and the online left STILL comes for her because of the noodle shit is fucking insane. People are fake as fuck.

KOSA 7/25/24

GOOD NEWS! Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez does not support KOSA!! keep calling and respectfully blowing up their phone ❤️

regarding my last post, Kosa did NOT pass the Senate fully, we have some time so PLEASE call and spread and tell your reps and senators to vote NO on Kosa and I urge you to bring up the government ID which can easily be a danger hazard for hackers and doxxing.

Sen Marsha Blackburn ADMITTING the reason for KOSA is to “save” and “protect” children from the transgender. And I believe we have some lgbtq groups supporting this bill.

[herhimthem]

ATTENTION EVERYONE.

GO READ THIS POST I JUST.. POSTED

KOSA is NOT being pushed through or voted on tomorrow as far as we know, but STILL CALL IN ON MONDAY IF YOU CAN.

MONDAY IS THE DAY THE SENATE COMES BACK FROM RECESS.

[super-firepaw119]

Another KOSA update:

Sadly, it is true that today, 04/10/2024, KOSA has been introduced to the House BUT! That doesn’t mean it’s game over just yet!

Proof:

Friendly reminder that there is much less support for KOSA in the House than the Senate. And even if it does pass the House—God forbid, it’s not over until the President signs it.

Here is the phone number for the Committee that’ll be holding the hearing on April 17th (Use the top number), and of course keep calling your Senators & House Representative.

I know this is scary for a lot of people, but we have to keep fighting. Please spread this around & don’t give up!

Don’t lose hope.

KEEP FIGHTING.

Tumblr stop recommending me horny sapphic blogs that all say men dni in the pinned post, go back to sending me posts from the one that's just horny all the time please, I want the fat furries and the queer freaks that are way less respectably normal about me and my body.

🚨🚨🚨 KOSA being voted on in Senate THIS THURSDAY 7/25/2024

By now you probably have heard of KOSA, or the Kid's Online Safety Act. If not, a quick TLDR here: https://www.them.us/story/kids-online-safety-act-kosa-youth-lgbtq-content

Basically it is a mass censorship and surveillance bill being disguised as "child safety". Grassroots organizers have been fighting against this bill for two years, and now it's come to the point where it will likely pass the Senate unless we make a LOT of noise RN.

The best way to stop this bill is to go to https://www.stopkosa.com/ and use their call script to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO. After this, it goes to the House, and we need to show as much pushback as we can rn asap.

If KOSA passes, this will enable a possible future Trump presidency to go after any and every LGBT content online under the guise of "protecting kids from harm" exactly like they did with book bans. Except, it will be much, much worse.
