#and BLOCK THESE IDIOTS.

[pebiejeebies]

ALRIGHT I NEED TO SHARE THIS BECAUSE THIS MADE ME VERY VERY FURIOUS.

THESE TWO @/profily-and-friends and @/objectshow-stuff ARE SPREADING MISINFORMATION ABOUT @akalikestodraw, and @talkingteardrop

Calling teardrop racist with no proof, accusing aykay of stealing people’s art WITH NO PROOF, and these “2” are just probably Profily and an alt account.

please DO NOT. and I repeat, DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY. EVEN IF THERE IS PROOF. THESE TWO ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

BLOCK THEM IMMEDIATELY, NO HESITATION!1 THEY ARE NOT TO BR TRUSTED. PLEASE.

Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.

But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.

But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.

It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'

Is anyone gonna explain to people that ‘proship’ does not actually mean ‘problematic shipping’ or ‘problematic ship’ or are we just going to let this misinformation spread some more?

It means pro-shipping. The prefix pro, meaning ‘supporting.’ In favor of shipping.

It only became a defined position after anti-shippers who initially identified themselves as anti-a specific ship started harassing creators they didn’t like, doxxing them, and trying to get them fired from their irl jobs for shipping reasons around 2014-2016.

So people who had been in fandom for long enough to know where that kind of rhetoric leads (ffnet purges, LJ strikethru, as well as the direct harms caused by doxxing) observed this increasing trend of harassment and rallied to say ‘oh you lot are anti-shipping, as in opposed to certain ships? Well in that case, we are pro-shipping, because we follow the adage of ship and let ship.’

Before that point, it was just basic fandom etiquette to not bother people who ship stuff you don’t like, and to understand that if something squicks you out, it’s not the fault of the people who made it.

If someone says they are pro-ship, it means fuck all about what they actually enjoy in fiction.

It just means they’re opposed to harassing creators for making content that doesn’t cause tangible harm to real people. A better way to understand the ideological position is being anti-harassment and anti-censorship.

I have a lot of ships I find disgusting blacklisted so I don’t have to see them. But I am not interested in forcing people to comply with what I think is gross. That’s what it means.

Curate your online experience, and understand that your disgust response is not a defensible moral indicator or a justification to harass, deplatform, and dox fan writers.

i guess some people are still hoping dropout will make some sort of statement as to the transmisogyny discussions and let me just say that i definitely don't think that's going to happen.

even in the best case imagined scenario we can put forth where they are actually reading what we're saying, putting out a statement would be a bad idea from their perspective. right now these discussions are mostly contained in an easily ignored corner of a niche and actively dying microblogging website - if they responded publicly it would bring the discussion out of the dark dilapidated corners of tumblr and out into the wider world. the best strategy for them (again, from their perspective!) would be to sit and wait and silently make adjustments until people are happier.

now, what i really think is happening is they're not really thinking about it at all. we already know people in and around the company like aabria have been blocking people talking about this so they don't have to see it, and that their audience has responded very aggressively to this discussion in general. i think if there was any talk about this inside the company, it was a random slack message like "hey, warning to people on tumblr, we're getting a lot of hate today. maybe take a week off from there or block liberally" and then they moved on.

overall im really not expecting any positive change. im hoping for it! im willing to wait a little bit and be proven wrong! but unfortunately i am usually correct in being a pessimist so i doubt it.

When i say lestappen are opposites in literally every way this is what i mean 😭

no but now im thinking about being childhood sweethearts with reno. naturally everyone eventually chooses an idol to obsess over. surely reno would kneel over for mina while you could in turn sob about narumi. but no, you and your bf have the same tastes.

literally both have alerts on for all of narumi’s newsletters and social media. your text threads are just countless photos and blurry videos of him in action while you both gush over it. none of this stops when you both officially join the force. it’s the third division, humbly seated under mina.

so it’s totally fine for you to continue to thirst over a division captain that’s well outside of your radius. i mean, when is he ever going to hear about you two giggling his name while you cooldown in the training rooms or that soft whimper at night when you tease each other about what it would be like to feel his breath on the back of your neck.

really it’s all fun and games when you’re resting with each other in the dead of the night, idly running your fingers against each others skin when you speak first.

“would it have been crazy though if we’d made it to first division?”

hard chance. even without the debacle that was kafka.

reno’s aborted scoff almost sounds like a sneeze as he buries further into your neck.

“we’d definitely get reported to hr.”

and because it’s all perspective, your curiosity eggs you on.

“think we could actually bag narumi gen?”

and bc you’re hot and reno’s hot, it takes nothing more than a yawn for him to agree.

“absolutely, he’d never know what hit him.”

bc you’re both safely stationed in the third division.

until you’re not.

one of my favourite underrated moments is when beloved tells fitz how bee is their love-child and fitz is trying to rack his brain for when he had sex with the fool. LIKE, rote is a romcom actually
