#i've made this disclaimer on another post but will again since i've seen a lot more of the movies now#the movies are VERY good and very enjoyable but unfortunately the first handful are bogged down by transphobic/homophobic/okama stereotypes#they kind of vary in their severity. Movie 5 i think is the biggest catalyst because it features the stereotyped characters the most#prominently. Movie 3 doesnt really have caricatures per se but saves a very backhanded reveal for the end#Movies 1 and 4 are a bit more tolerable if my memory is correct. Movie 2 i think is kind of comparable to Movie 5 with its caricatures#in that the characters have similar roles in both movies#i admittedly can't remember what caricatures there were in Movie 6 or 7. 7 i think barely had anything#RAMBLE RAMBLE BASICALLY: these jokes are within the first 7 movies or so 5 being the zenith then reducing down and down. by movie 8 it's sa#e#i give these disclaimers because these movies are all very enjoyable and i would not recommend them if i didnt think there wasnt any merit#o them. they are all very much worth watching. Movie 5 still has a lot of very enjoyable stuff in it (there's a showdown in a supermarket!!#but i just want to make sure that is clear and established since transparency is good to have and i dont want anyone's viewing experience t#be ruined because they weren't given the proper warning#if it's any consolation it's my understanding that even the directors hated doing the jokes#iirc Keiichi Hara really didn't like doing the jokes and i think had a talk with the mangaka Yoshito Usui and was like 'uh dude this is#gonna age horribly can we maybe not'#ironically Hara's first film is Movie 5. which is again the biggest offender#BUT! that is my spiel. my understanding is that it's contained to those 6 or 7 first movies and i think is strictly just a movie thing#so please do give these films a watch but just be mindful at the same time#if anyone needs recommendations my favorites have been movies 4 and 9 but i genuinely really enjoyed every one that i have seen#i've seen the first 11 and a half movies (need to finish 12) and movie 22. the worst i've felt about one is 'oh that was pretty good!'#each film has its own merit and is very very very much worth watching#22 was the first Shin-chan anything i watched and all my Shin-chan expert friends say 4 is a good introductory piece#in case that influences anything/makes it easier to break in#so. thus concludes my spiel#csc#vid

I feel Chrom fans are the worst, they often directly put down other protagonists like Lucina, Marth and Dimitri, whilst ignoring or whitewashing Chrom's canonical issues including:
Never apologizing for his father's crusade against Plegia and attempted religious genocide of the Grimleal, to the point he acts like Ylisse was the "real" victim and that neither Plegia nor the Grimleal has no right being upset at Ylisse.
Chrom makes sure to only recruit the white Plegians and never shows disapproval of prejudice against the Grimleal even when its shown by his own retainer, Frederick.
Making the already ravaged Plegia pay for everything after the war, than abandoning the country letting another tyrant take over. He even admits 2 years after Gangrel's father, he never found out what happened to Gangrel or whom succeeded him which is grotesquely negligent for a King.
When Robin kills one thousand transport ships filled "stem to stern" with Walhart's troops, Chrom is ecstatic rather than showing any respect to this huge loss of human life. Necessary or not, human life should be respected. Its made worse as its clarified THe valm empire forces citizens to become soldiers, including Virion's Rosseane and Say'ri's Chonsin.
In the Japanese version, Chrom canonically hangs around a homophobe (Old Hubba) and kills an effeminate gay man/possible transwoman (Excellus), indicating homophobic and transphobic views.
The fact that he's always remorseful when he faces women also indicates that he has has sexist beliefs too. It doesn't help that every woman Chrom fights is shown as brainwashed by a wicked man (Aversa) or just trapped by love (Pheros), because no women could oppose the towering paragon of Machismo that is Chrom.
Chrom ultimately allies with unrepentant Walhart whom shared his father's desire to invade Plegia and commit religious genocide, further showcasing he learnt positively nothing from his father's actions.
Chrom tells Aversa "One person's life means nothing in the shadow of millions" when she tries to avenge Validar due to being brainwashed, as no woman could ever willingly care about men, our hero Chrom hates, only for Chrom hypocritically try to prevent Robin from sacrificing themselves to kill Grima, willing to sacrifice the world for Robin.
Yet despite all this, Chrom is lauded as a great king and lovable Himbo, all whilst characters like:
Marth get called a crybaby or "generic Disney Prince" that is only popular because he's from the first game and nostalgic losers from Japan can't get enough of him.
Lucina is said to be to be popular only because she's a a waifu that people "want to fuck".
Dimitri is treated as "White Man" or a "Fascist" whom "murders women", when he showed more concern and humanity towards Duscur than Chrom ever did to Plegia as well as treating both sexes equally and not hanging around heteronormative crusaders (Hubba again).
And yes, this is character hate towards Chrom, he's massively overrated by the fandom and gets passes for what other characters would be crucified for.

The 'Vote Blue no Matter Who' crowd are fucking wild. Really out there saying that they straight up don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and saying shit like 'supporting genocide is kinda cringe but…'
like Biden isn't building the Trump border wall anyway and waiving laws that protect Natives and endangered species to do so
like he doesnt keep funding the cops who fucking murder (and rape) us and get away with it
or how about all those new homophobic/transphobic laws he's not doing shit about!
or all of Covid. Just all of it. Mans said the buisnesses and their profits matter much more than human lives so its ok to pretend that the pandemic is over
or fucking letting Roe v Wade get overturned
But suuuuuure~ we can trust Genocide Joe to not allow USAmerican minorities to get genocided b/c according to the 'Vote Blue No Matter Who' crowd we (*cough* they who aren't actually in as much danger as those of us in the States who are actually being affected the worst by both the Republicans AND the Democrats' bullshit *cough*) are the only people in the world that matter.
Surely, him supporting the genocide of indigenous brown people somewhere else isn't a reflection on his views of Black/brown and otherwise indigenous people over here

i find it funny how Republicans bitch about LGBT+ prowling and grooming cishet kids, when in fact LGBT kids are far more vulnerable to grooming than cishet kids.
Think about it. LGBT kids often grow up feeling lonely or alienated due to living in a world which revolves around heterosexuality. A good deal feel further alienated due to being bombarded with propaganda (from media and family) that labels LGBT-ness as evil or inferior. Every day they hear homophobic/transphobic things which takes its toll. They may be bullied by their peers as well.
LGBT kids may be kicked out on the streets by particularly homophobic/transphobic families. The streets are NOT a nice place for anybody, especially a child(god help them if they're female or perceived as such) . A homeless child generally has to resort to one or both of the following to survive :1) Sell drugs 2) get exploited/trafficked by sexual predators in exchange for food/shelter . I mean a homeless child can't exactly get a real job, open a bank account or check out a hotel room after all.
Plus some homeless shelters may be run by transphobes or homophobes.
A lonely child may resort to desperate measures for acceptance and love. Predators can smell the desperation of a vulnerable child a mile away.
Source: I grew up as a lonely gay kid in a homophobic family in a red state. A few of my peers became homeless while I was groomed online while I looking for acceptance online (I knew I would be disowned at best or killed at worst if I ever came out to my family)
If you want to protect LGBT children from being abused, they assume you want non-LGBT children to be abused more. They can't fathom the idea that some people can just live their lives without abusing children.

Institutions for Failed Persons Part 4
*I don't normally put content warnings into my posting but just a heads up there are some transphobic and homophobic slurs in this story*
For the first time since you arrived you weren't awakened by a drone. A cacophony of shouting and banging jolted you awake. You smacked into the top of your cage from being so startled.
You could make out a few words even behind the closed door of your room. Words like "help" "get off me" "fuck you" and "sadistic bitch" in between pained yells and screaming. Then things became ominously quiet.
A new, androgynous voice rang out down the hall.
"If I have to deal with you again, you're going straight to the bad labs! If you think I'm mean, wait until you meet the researchers!" A few more agonized screams, that sounded as if they were now muffled, seemed to punctuate the threat, followed by the slamming of a heavy door.
You've fucked up pretty bad over the course of your life, but now you were truly terrified of the trouble you got yourself into. 
As usual, you had no idea what time it was, but you were sure there was no way you were getting back to sleep after hearing all of that.
You sat curled up in your cramped cage and rocked yourself back and forth in a futile attempt to calm down. 
You were in the middle of cataloging all the horrible choices in your life in an attempt to find a time you messed up worse than when you decided to come to this place.
Just as you reached the conclusion that this was indeed the worst mistake you ever made, the door to your room opened. Two drones entered with glowing red gas masks, followed by a slender, tall doctor with disheveled red hair, scratches on her face, and a crooked bow tie.
“I'm sorry you had to hear all that little pup, my name's doctor Blackwell, but you can call me Veronika." She chuckled in between deep breaths. 
"Like, if you were allowed to talk. I guess you can think of me as Veronika!" She leaned against a wall and tried to catch her breath
You didn't think you could be more scared than you were a minute ago, but you managed to surprise yourself with how often you were wrong. Which is honestly saying something when you thought about it. 
"I'm your new doctor! Animals like you are kinda my specialty."
Your brain struggled to decide if her cheery tone of voice and wild grin scared you or comforted you. It settled on both. "I'm good with animals that like to be useful, but just need a little more training. Disobedient pups, ponies, you know, things like that."
"That asshole 'DoCtOr klEin' transferred you to my care." Her mocking tone surprised you. Didn't all these doctors work as a team? 
"Biting him has already ingratiated yourself to me. God he's such a prick. The drones had spoken highly of you in their reports. Which reminds me."
She took out a phone and tapped at its screen. Suddenly the two drones LED lights changed to green, and they became much more relaxed. 
"These two are such a delight, and they seem to think you are as well. They requested to see you again, isn't that sweet?!"
You realized that you had started to shake in terror. 
"Awe poor pup. There's no need to be scared! That is unless you plan on biting me. You wouldn't do that would you?" You let out a little whimper and tried in vain to make yourself smaller. 
"You are just too adorable!"
The doctor came over and unlocked your cage. 
"It's ok. Come here little pup." After a second you walked over to her on all fours and sat at her feet. She began scratching you behind your ears. With her other hand she beckoned for the two drones to come over.
The drones displayed a " : ) " and began petting you as well. This was almost scarier. What's the catch? Weren't you in trouble? Why are they being so kind? 
The one drone cupped your face and tilted it up to get a better look at you. Before you could think you began sucking at its thumb.
The smiley on the drones face lit up into a rainbow. It shoved its thumb deeper in your mouth. 
"See you don't bite. You'll be such a well behaved animal for me won't you?" You felt yourself getting turned on despite how scared you still were.
Without the paper scrubs you used to have, you couldn't hide your excitement. 
"Awe what's this?" Veronika cooed. She began to stroke you, and your hips began to thrust involuntarily. Fuck, were you going to be punished? Why was this turning you on so much?
"Such a slutty little animal aren't you? Maybe you'll make a good breeding toy for the other pets. Would you like that?" You whimpered in affirmation. A loud crash came from down the hall. "YOU FUCKING TRANNY FAGGOT!" At once the two drones screens turned red and they ran out.
Veronika let out a long exacerbated sigh. "I fucking hate this ward." She stopped stroking you and pinched the bridge of her nose. After a second she lifted your chin and stared into your eyes with a warm smile. "At least I got to meet such a cute new pet."
The words "my pet" made you sheepishly smile and blush. "I'll see you get transferred to another unit soon, fuck knows I could use the excuse to spend less time on this god damn ward. Until then I'll see to it you get some nicer accommodations. It was SO nice to meet you pet."
She walked to the doorway and pulled out her phone. 
"Hello its Dr. Blackwell, transfer me to the acute lab unit... Hey Dr. Kottin, do you have room for a very bad dog... Yup I'll sign all the paperwork... Could you remove its teeth for me... Yes all of them... Wonderful!"

The Vtuber Community Greatly Suffers From The Worst Aspects Of Its Inspirations.
You may be going "Ahleeze- what do you mean by that? The Vtuber community markets itself as this amazing place where you can portray yourself as whoever and whatever you want!" Yeah- that's more or less a lie. It's an accepting community so long as you don't criticize it. And that's primarily because of the fact that the audience and culture that vtubers as a community have adopted are all the absolutely worst aspects of it. It's a weird amalgamation of anime, idol, gaming, and content creation culture, but all the worst aspects of it. I'll try and break it down as I go so it's a bit less of a scrambled post of thoughts.
Also, just a disclaimer, of course this doesn't apply to everyone, it's just some observations I've seen in my time as a vtuber and the issues that are prevalent in the community.
Anime Community - Obviously since most vtubers have an "anime" style to them, it was bound to attract people who were interested in anime. More importantly, people who now had "2d Waifus" they could actually interact with and give money. However, there's a reason why some people won't touch anime fandoms with a ten foot pole. There is a LOT of bigoted anime fans. Transphobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, you name it. All of them are especially prevelant in those communities. You can see it when people make black edits of characters. You can see it in One Piece and Guilty Gear discourse (you know the ones). You ESPECIALLY see it when a woman happens to know literally anything on a subject and corrects someone. A good example I've seen is the JJBA fandom shitting on Jolyne for shit literally every other Joestar has done. Like- they're quiet when everyone else did it, but Jolyne does it and now all of the sudden its a problem.
Same thing happens to Vtubers. If your model / you:
Doesn't pass the paper bag test
Isn't super thin
Don't have breast that breast breastily
Isn't a literal child in appearance
Don't have a deep enough or high enough voice
Doesn't match your voice
Openly LGBTQ+
Openly fight for the rights of marginalized and oppressed groups
Talk on literally any social issue
You're basically in for a world of annoyance and trolls almost 24/7. And that's from both Vtubers AND Vtuber fans. Look at literally any corporate Vtuber's fans when they get crticized for something. Watch how fast they are to attack LGBTQ+ people and POC over daring to think a negative thought about their 2D anime waifu. There are plenty of POC who are vtubers and get NOTHING but hate comments and deal with absolutely unfair treatment because of the anime fans that also happen to overlap in Vtuber communities.
Oh, and don't get me started on if a vtuber dare says "lolishos DNI". Because people will get in a fucking TIZZY over how their waifu is actually 90000 years old and its a-okay to like them! That's also just an unfortuntate byproduct of anime culture that seeped into Vtubing. Especially when there are vtubers who call themselves "lolis" and openly make lewd content.
There's also the weird pressure people feel to have Japanese names and that's sparked a lot of discourse in the community. Also that some people end up being offensive by using westernized depictions of Japanese culture to seem more "anime".
Idol Culture - A lot of the words Vtubers use ("oshi" for example), are taken from idol culture. However, it's been time to ditch the "idol culture" since the whole thing started. It's cool to want to be a vtuber who does stuff like sing, or do concerts, but so many have twisted it into this weird competitive space where parasocial relationships thrive. God forbid you set up a boundary, talk about a social issue, or post a selfie.
For those that down know, vtubing used to (and still kinda is to some people) about "immersion". They want to watch the dommy mommy demon queen be seductive and everything else on stream. Once you ruin that immersion, some people get annoyed, others get pissed. And for no reason other than it's breaking the "immersion" that so many vtubers use as a sort of marketing. It's a lot of online personas. And getting people to fall in love with those online personas. Some people feel pressured to "play nice" and allow people who make them uncomfortable in their communities because of the fact that if they say something about it, then they're "cutting off their community".
Then there's the absolute obsession with being entirely "unique". Look at how many orca-themed vtubers get called Shylily wannabes. To the point they've had to unfortunately ban the other streamer's name in their chat! Or dog boys that get called Shxtou wannabes. Hell, I've seen guys called wannabes for just having the same COLOR SCHEMES. And it doesn't help that other vtubers will start pointing fingers at each other. Whether it's for clout or because they geniuenly think their concept can be the only one in the space. I saw discourse over someone's friend deciding on the same NAME as them.
Content Creation Culture - This is more about the constant push that vtubers say you need to do in order to be succesful. Constantly saying you need to spread yourself thin across every platform that you possibly can. Upload content everywhere. Constantly make content even if you're tired. It's exhausting, and leaves disabled peopel out of the conversation most of the time. Even then- it still pushes non-disabled people into burnout.
On top of that, it promotes being mean to each other because people are rewarded for that in engagement. Creating drama allows people to get attention, and constantly promotes "any publicity is good publicity". On top of that, it constantly switches the roles of what's a serious issue and whats drama. Things like sexual assault and harassment is considered drama when it's called out, but when someone traces emotes it's the most serious issue in the world and needs to be talked about for the next month. The same drama and discourse is passed around every week like it's a new thing, meanwhile actual issues are pushed to the side. They also conveniently coincide with each other. Women talk about men abusing their power and status in content creation? Suddenly the new big talk is about how men are treated horribly and they need more love and support since they are the few against the many in vtubing. It's the same cycle over and over.
Someone posts a really shitty take, everyone responds. That person gets a shit ton of engagement. They get discovered from it. They find more shitty people to join their audience. It happens over and over again and people fall for it every time. People pit entire communities against each other because they know it will get traction. All the "vtuber news" channels you see are just reskinned drama channels that barely add any substance to what they're "reporting" on, but they build their entire fanbase upon it. They don't even have the decency to censor names and then shrug when people come to them saying they're being harassed. There's entire channels based on harassing others and vtubers and people see it as normal. But engagement and "exposure" is supposed to be a good thing.
It also pushes others to be nasty towards each other and fight each other for the spotlight. It just sucks and people constantly try and treat it like a good thing.
In conclusion, the vtubing space isn't all people market it to be, and they will hound you down if you criticize it because "that's what the space has always been". That or you're brushed down to wanting attention and it's just so annoying that people tend to ignore all this to "keep the peace". Women can't speak out or else we're called clout seekers. POC can't speak out or else they're called attention seekers and drama-causers. LGBTQ+ people can't speak out or else we're making everything about ourselves. And you certainly can't criticize the corporate Vtubers or else their entire fanbase will come and likely get your account suspended.

ive constantly thought, in the back of my head, that *im* the one being irrational ... until one of my idols starting "going down the gender idealogy rabbit hole" when in reality theyre a fucking grown ass man who has a mostly minor fanbase who gets off to genuine rape and is now using "gender" to prey on people.... that is what truly peaked me, the fact this person is getting away with this despite their twitter likes being public and all that... even though theyve literally been homophobic AND transphobic by their own terms.
the dude is quite literally openly preying on people, with 15k+ followers, thanks to gender idealogy which protects men who claim to align with "girl". they are content with both trans men and any homosexual women being preyed on and pressured into sex because "trans women are women, therefore you are a bigot who deserves to be killed if you arent attracted to these men who *feel* they are a woman".
its like wtf do you do.... knowing people are being targeted ... knowing they wont publicly stand up for themselves in fear of being labeled "transphobic", even when they are a minor...... it hurts so much. i feel so powerless, the fact they could easily "cancel" me themself because i was in a worst situation than they will ever be in their entire life, genuinely facing abuse and homelessness throughout my entire adult life while they sit there relishing in privilege, never worrying about a damn thing in regards to safety. But no, me doing wrong- while NEVER having any psychiatric support... He, especially considering his large following, could use anything i said against me.... And thats what makes everything so painful, knowing i cant do anything unless unless the victims speaks up first .The fact he brags about "hooking in lesbian" despite being a man... I wish he could die. ITS FUCKED, ESPECIALLY THE FUCKING FACT HES"S OPEN RAPIST. because gender idealogy encourages the belief you can "identify" as a sexual orientation .... so if you are a trans woman attracted to women then that makes you a lesbian and and not a straight man who fetishizes lesbians. Bless the LGB Alliance, they have the corsage to stand up for for sexual orientation for what it truly is. I cant fucking do anything . He gets to prey on people, talk shit about me- someones who disabled/middle class and fucking homeless while hes literally able bodied and upper class.
Id do anything for people to see him as he fucking is. A horrible clout chasing piece of shit who deserves nothing . Imagine being so privileged in life yet being so pornsick that you ruin your own life. All i can hope for is that his victims will finally feel comfortable enough to come forward ....
Oh my god, I'm very sorry you've been through all of this. Seeing someone you used to like or even idolize becoming such a piece of shit hurts. And I'm sorry about you facing homelessness, I really hope things got better :(
I also happened through a period when I thought I was irrational. People around are afraid of being labelled transphobes if they dare to doubt, so I thought I was alone and had a mental breakdown about it. LGB Alliance was the first account I found that had courage to speak up and at that pont I was truly amazed just by the fact of their existence.
Please be careful on your path of exposing the dude.

I’m Kanade Aoyagi. … I play the piano.
Toya, please don’t talk to me.
꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱
# NOTES
❥ Kanade and Toya are cousins in this AU! After her father passes out and falls into a coma, she’s taken in by Harumichi. Which was the worst idea ever. My dude can’t help but ruin every child he touches.
❥ She’s… doing significantly less well than in canon, thanks to Harumichi’s A+ parenting. I feel like mentioning that he’s like, kind of worse than in canon because I have daddy issues I’m projecting on him. I needed to maximize the angst, so let’s be a bit canon divergent here~
❥ She’s basically avoiding Toya, so their relationship isn’t really good at the moment. They were really close before, though. Kanade’s glad that he got out of the shitty situation they were both stuck in, and she doesn’t want to endanger him. She still has a savior complex…
❥ Definitely agender, but she hasn’t really thought about her gender enough to have a crisis yet. You can crack some eggs if you want to. 👍 Currently using she/her prns.
❥ Anon hate for the little miss here is appreciated! She’s mostly the same as canon Kanade, except even worse. Making her suffer is incredibly easy. 👍
❥ Here’s the info post for this AU ♡ (If you’re on the Discord, then it’s exactly the same thing.)
꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱
# ABOUT ME
❥ Hi! This is actually Moth from @viemarin. :3
❥ I made that account to vote in the Great GF War 2023, initially, but then I figured I could use it for this even angstier version of Kanade! I can even send asks directly from this blog now! Truly, it’s amazing. Marvelous, even.
❥ I use it/its prns. Bug/bugs prns are appreciated too ♡
❥ I’m also behind at least seven other blogs, which you can find here!
꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱
# RULES
❥ Don’t be homophobic, transphobic or any kind of -ic here because I won’t be tolerating it.
❥ Also, don’t use slurs around me. I think they’re gross, and I don’t want to see them.

lmao ok so I just finished watching V for Vendetta
and I have a lot of ThoughtsTM
before you read HUGE TW OK. homophobia, transphobia, racism, antisemitism
Ok so I should preface this by saying the movie itself isn't homophobic, transphobic, particularly racist (as far as I know, I'm white so I've probably missed stuff and I apologise if I have), antisemetic (but again, maybe I missed stuff) or any of that.
in fact in my opinion it was an amazing, and extrememly terrifying movie.
But, it did feel like watching a highlight reel of all the worst parts of the political climate of 1930s germany and of course of the past few years.
now onto the funny bit:
I was watching the credits and I saw that it was a Wachowski sisters movie and omfg god it immediately made SO MUCH SENSE lol
when I say that V for Vendetta was SO TRANS I mean it. Like, in ways that I can't really articulate now bc I'm too tired but I might explain later, it was so trans. So. Trans.
It was soooo white lmaooooooooo. Like it kept talking about evil conservative politics and how gay people and shit are used as scapegoats, and while that was super powerful I was kinda confused as to why they like, totally glossed over intersectionality and other methods of oppression. It was weird to watch such a "progressive" film that didn't touch on race, like, at all. The closest they came was a guy getting arrested for owning a Koran. And the guy was white. (played by Stephen Fry My Beloved, no hate to him, he was fantastic as always and also I'm super scared about that fall he had I hope hes ok :( anyways). And then the second I saw that the Wachowski sisters made it I was like ooooooooooooooohhhhh thats why it just blatantly ignored racsim and had 0 (zero) characters from ANY ETHNIC BACKGROUND OTHER THAN FUCKING ENGLAND :/ Which, yknow, aside from being hurtful to the vast majority of the population of earth, just makes for a less interesting, less vibrant, less powerful story. It's about freedom, willingness to die for a cause, and rebellion for fucks sake. It shouldn't just be white.
Ok other ThoughsTM
It was weird, but also kinda touching to have V be the "guy" that fought for it all.
I don't really have the words for it at the moment, but in as simple terms as I can.
I was surprised at the unrealistic, but also extrememly important suggestion that a striaght, white, cis guy (assuming V was all of those things, even though he was hella fruity and queer coded) could ever allow himself to become the revolution, to become something bigger than himself, and more importantly, to be selfless enough to devote himself to the liberation of completely separate groups of people.
And, look, I'm not saying that they can't do that (Neil Gaiman as a shoutout, you stand up unabashedly for queer people, trans people, refugees, women, sex workers, disabled people, people of colour, etc etc and maybe thats because you're jewish so you know what fucking happens when you ignore discrimination for a little bit and allow it to fester because it aint you thats getting attacked so why should you care and anyway thats not a rant that I want to have), but I was just surprised, and kinda dissapointed that they did
Because its unrealistic. When as a white person ever been the champion of a a movement against racism? When has a man ever been a figurehead for feminism? Etc etc.
which brings me to my next point.
V's arc still disappointingly revolved around falling in love with a woman. Which really just felt like a way to distract straight viewers from his actual character arc so it was less confronting for them and they will never actually understand him or connect with him properly. I watched it with my parents (both straight), and there were moments when I felt completely sure that they were not grasping the point of a scene, or a line, or whatever. And they felt all righteous and content because they watched a movie about gay people fighting back or whatever, but the main character was still A FCUKING STRIAHGT MAN WTF.
And let me be clear. I DONT HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO HIM FALLING IN LOVE. I DONT AHVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO HIS LOVE INTEREST BEING A WOMAN. I'm just annoyed that the messaging was subtle enough that straight people and allo people distracted by a heterosexual romance would miss it. Yes, his love for Evey was tragic. Yes, it was beautiful. But no scene with them was ever actually about their love. It was about something bigger. Which I don't think my parents quite grasped.
Anyway. Conclusions.
Was it a good movie? Absolutely yes!
Will I be watching it again? Absolutely yes!
Was it a terrifying documentary about the world as we know it? Yes!
But could it have been more effective by diversifying slightly more? Yes.
(btw I am fully aware that this movie was made in 2005 and we need context and shit)
So yeah. Those are my thoughts. If you made it this far, wow. You're either a bit V for Vendetta fan, very passionate about activism, or not really concentrating properly.
So uh yeah.

Well I need to pin some info about me/the blog so here goes.
Hi I'm Nyxx. I'm a transmasc nonbinary woman. I'm Bisexual and Polyamorus. I'm a switch/vers.
I'm comfortable with all gendered terms except Male/Man. Boy is 10000% welcome though.
I'm very heavily T4T, so if you've got any gender fuckery going on at all, Heyyyyy~
I'm cool with DMs and people dropping nudes on me, just be polite about it. At least say hi first. Gender doesn't matter, cis people are welcome. I'm happy to rate dick pics if you're into that sort of thing.
Some kinks you'll find here:
-General BDSM
-Petplay
-Masochism and Sadism both.
-CNC/Kidnapping
-Breeding
-(some) Feedism
And quite a few other things, but CNC/Kidnapping will likely be the worst i post here. I tend to be a bit on the extreme end and i don't tag anything right now because i kinda need to get my footing with this blog before i leave my little screaming void and expose myself to those looking at tags.
So!! Proceed with caution. I know for a fact my content is triggering so don't be afraid to block me, i want you to be safe more than i want interaction.
DNI:
- Under 18 (I may be hesitant to interact if you're not at least 20, though. As a 24 y/o I feel weird expressing/feeling attraction to 18 and 19 year olds)
-Terfs/homophobes/transphobes/racists/fatphobes/any other kind of bigot. I won't tolerate your shit and if i catch you I'll block you.
Don't bother trying to tell me how ~problematic~ my kinks are. I have no shame because it's all between consenting adults.
Be warned this is a purely nsft blog. If you want my political/meme/etc blog, its nyxxiedaffodil, which is also 18+, and may have sexual references but no explicit stuff.

like. imagine there was another word that just meant “gay” that got really popular. lets say the new word they decided to use was blay. and the people who identify with blay take every opportunity to make sure you know theyre not gay. and you ask them what makes blay different from gay and they say i’m so glad you asked. blay is actually trans inclusive, unlike gay. people who identify as blay are attracted to men AND trans men, because trans men obviously as we all are aware don’t fall under the umbrella of men unless you other them on purpose in order to be inclusive. anyway can you imagine being one of those transphobic gays that wont date trans people? what do you mean gay men date trans people all the time and it doesn’t invalidate their sexual orientation? of course it would i mean how could you say youre attracted to men since that obviously excludes trans people since trans men aren’t REAL men? I mean oops, hearts not parts! 😘 hahaha i’m so glad i’m not one of those lusty horny dirty sex obsessed gays who will sleep with literally anyone. i’m so proud to be one of the wholesome pure ones who actually values creating an emotional connection with my partner, since as we all know thats not what gayness is, its nasty and depraved and loveless and so widespread as a sinful phenomenon that i need a different word to make the point that i’m not like that. here, look at this flag i made for us!
like we can all see how that stance is both transphobic AND homophobic right. like we can see how the aids crisis and purity culture and whiteness created this construct right. youre trying so hard to be inclusive you’ve wrapped all the way back around to totally offensive.
like we know that queer people are capable of being queerphobic. so what can you possibly say to someone whose internalized homophobia goes so deep that even once they realize they belong in community with the rest of us they still feel the need to make up a whole other word to make sure no one confuses them for one of us? like how can you tell your gym class bully who beats you up for acting gay that the reason he’s so triggered by you just existing is because it reminds him of the things he used to do that his dad beat him so badly for that just the memory of it makes it painful and terrifying to see someone else just living their life not performing masculinity to that same standard. you cant teach him that because he’s actively beating you to a pulp. he needs to hear it from someone he either respects or fears and unlearn the homophobia first, because he’s homophobic while gay. and so how can you tell someone who still uses pan in 2023 that what they're doing is harmful when they think they're singlehandedly protecting the correct gender and sanctity of the rest of the community by doing so?
and the worst part is that using pan does NOTHING to protect you from the homophobia of the people who are bound and determined to be homophobic. the loved ones you’re most afraid of because you’re scared to be lumped in with actual bisexuals will need you to define your microlabel anyway. when they google it and find out it includes same sex attraction under is umbrella they will not be impressed that you're trying to be "trans inclusive" about it. if they were going to be bigots in the first place using pan instead of bi isnt going to fucking save you from them. and in your heart you know that and thats why you use pan primarily to signal to the rest of the community that you're One Of The Good Ones because your comfort depends on it but instead the ONLY thing you’re accomplishing is alienating the people who want to welcome you to the community so badly.
and look. nobody has to use any label. you don’t have to use any word at all if you dont want to, all words are equally made up. but if you are really really really attached to using pan. please ask yourself seriously why you are resisting bisexual so strongly and what you believe about bisexuality that is leading you there. if you really believe bisexuality isn’t trans inclusive please take another look at google. if you really believe bisexuals literally just date any person and don’t care what they’re like as people and are all promiscuous and that that is bad, please take a deep breath and look around and really try to internalize that you are not in the basement of your church at youth group anymore. the folding chairs are gone and you’re safe. and try to think about who taught you that was true and why they might have wanted you to believe that. use your brain. use your smartphone. if you’re looking at this post you have access to the internet.
and please know that this is a message that i am delivering with as much love as i am capable of as a person who USED to identify as pan. i know these things are true because i used to think this way and someone brave and kind but a little sick of the bullshit gave me a wake up call. this community has space for you, i promise.
i'm REALLY tired of celebs coming out with this energy of having been sitting on their truth for a long time and deliberating but going to the media and then choosing to use the pan label i'm so fucking tired dog i'm so sick of it. just admit that you dont see trans people as their real gender but instead as a sub-class of men or women and that you don't understand what nonbinary means. just admit that you believe bisexual is a dirty gross label because the biphobic rhetoric worked on you. christ.

Scott responded.
Scott responded to everything that is going on. <- Click to read on Reddit.
As for my own response and how I feel, it’ll be under a read more.
First of all, here’s my own response to him:
“I hardly post on Reddit, mostly because I struggle being able to keep up with so many accounts. But this is an exception because I feel that I HAVE to reply to you Scott, in terms of all of this.
As a pansexual transman, my very first thought when I saw it for myself who you donated for was "This has to be faked. Scott's done so much, there's no way he would vote for someone as corrupt and horrifying as Trump after seeing what he's done in the past four years." But as someone who absolutely hates Trump, I jumped to conclusions and my next thought was, "If this is true, I will never support FNaF and Scott ever again." And so the past few days have been a huge mental war because obviously it wasn't fake, and it was true. Did I think you purposely voted for a lot of Republicans like Trump out of spite for the LGBT+? No, especially because of how much support you've shown to us over the past several years. Did I still want to call off any and all support to you because at the time, I was whirling with emotions and upset as hell.
But you're not homophobic or transphobic in the slightest, and you definitely didn't deserve to get doxxed. I am so sorry people have attacked you like this when we [as in Twitter] should've all just waited for an explanation instead of attack you. I should've waited for an explanation instead of immediately thinking of the worst and wanting to get rid of my FNaF gear.
Am I still hurt knowing one of the coolest creators I know donated to quite a few people who hate my sheer existence and work everyday to make sure the LGBT+ community is illegal and hated? Yes, I am. But that hurt is eased knowing you were just trying to vote for who you thought was right [even though I HEAVILY disagree on those choices].
As someone whos part of the Twitter community, I'm so sorry for what we've done. And I'm personally sorry for at first jumping to conclusions.”
And I really am sorry to Scott. I’m sorry that Twitter decided to uproot his life like this and doxx him and put both him and his fucking wife in danger. I hate Trump. I hate most of the Republican party if not all of them. But to put Scott and his family in danger over this? It’s pathetic. The man never deserved that and Twitter’s fucked up for that.
..As for how I feel, I’m still a bit hurt by what happened. I honestly wish Scott spared at least one apology, and that would be to the LGBT+. He doesn’t have to apologize for the donations itself or for who he supported. I just think he could’ve spared *one* apology, and that would be how the information caused some pain to us, the LGBT+ community. I’m not saying its owed though.
I’m still a bit hurt, but seeing how Scott was just trying to do what he thought was right, it helps a bit.
As for what I’m gonna do.. I think I’m still gonna enjoy FNaF. Make art for it, enjoy people playing the games, etc. The only thing I will personally buy for myself though will be Security Breach when it comes out [and I hope this whole thing doesnt destroy it] and that will be that. I enjoy Scott’s work and he seems to be great despite this whole ordeal, but I won’t be giving my money towards his stuff anymore knowing it would go to people that hate my guts.
TL;DR: I feel better, I’m not leaving the FNaF fandom, and I’ll still draw for it. I’ll also still support Scott, just without my money.

This post is about my mental health, but first I need to talk about human social psychology.
Empathy is hard. Humans are complicated and figuring out what goes on in their heads takes a lot of brainpower. Neurotypical people's brains are wired to do it instinctively anyway, but only after you've classified the person you're looking at as One Of Us. If they're One Of Them instead, you save yourself the effort, assume the worst possible motivation, and call it a day. Only We get to be humans; They are orcs. To someone like me, who doesn't empathize instinctively but has to practise it as a conscious action with everybody, this is glaringly obvious. It's one of the things that makes fitting into neurotypical society harder: empathizing with orcs is just as big of a social faux pas as failing to empathize with humans, and we're expected (as always) to know which is which without being told.
I mean. You're talking with someone who's generally a nice person, and they're probably demonstrating a level of understanding of other people's emotions that you (who in this scenario are autistic like me) can barely aspire to. And then the conversation shifts direction just a whisker, and suddenly they make a jarringly dismissive remark about vegans. Or cyclists. Or university students. Or teenagers (and their phones). Or hippies. Or tech nerds. Or fundamentalists. Or feminists. Or greenies. Or landlords. Or socialists. Or libertarians. You get the point, I hope, but I could double or triple the length of this list and I would still have barely begun.
If only dismissive remarks in casual conversation were the end of it. If only.
I should just quickly check -- you know what I mean by "orcs", right? Orcs are like humans, but with all the good parts taken away and all the ugly parts magnified. Orcs might actively delight in hurting people, or they might just selfishly not care about hurting people, but either way they have no moral conscience. Orcs can never be trusted, placated, or compromised with; but on the bright side, you can hate them, insult them, attack them, hurt them, or kill them, and you aren't doing anything wrong.
Orcs do not exist. This is important to remember.
Sometimes the line between humans and orcs is enforced with jokes. Ha ha ha, aren't they ridiculous? You wouldn't want to be ridiculous like them and end up with us laughing at you, would you? Oh, but remember telling people off for making a joke is unfriendly; that they don't like our jokes about them just goes to show what orcs they are. Ha ha! We're all friends here, as long as you don't stand up for them. Sometimes the line between humans and orcs is enforced with earnest moralizing. How dare you take their side? No, I don't need to consider where they're coming from. No, they're acting from pure malice whether they think of it that way or not, and if you question that then you're acting from pure malice. This is often the context for words like "microaggression". (If you have the kind of autism where often, out of nowhere as far as you can tell, the person you're talking to suddenly shouts "God you're rude!" -- then spaces where the rule is "always believe accusations of microaggression" are not safe for you.)
Quite a lot of you at this point are nodding along, because you think you've figured out who I'm calling out. No. You have orcs too, and they're whoever you just thought I was calling out. Nazis are not orcs; they are people who think Jews are orcs. Racists are not orcs; they are people who think people of colour are orcs. Homophobes are not orcs; they are people who think gay people are orcs. Transphobes are not orcs; they are people who think trans people are orcs. Misogynists are not orcs; they are people who think non-compliant women are orcs.
I spent my childhood and teens in one community defined chiefly by its opposition to mainstream society, and much of my twenties in another, and both of them would have said, oh no, we don't hate anybody. We're all about love! We want everyone to share in our love for each other, and that's how life could be, if only they would all [turn away from sin and come to Jesus] / [rise up with us against the ruling class]!
We are all of us blind to our own hatreds, because we think they're deserved. You know, you're probably partly right; in many cases they do hate us. But that hatred is simply the mirror image of our hatred for them. To them, we're the orcs.
This post is about my mental health. But I need to start by talking about Richard Dawkins.
A year or two ago now, I don't know, there was a proposition to put some elements of mātauranga Māori in the high school science curriculum. I never saw the specifics; I do know that Māori tradition holds a lot of knowledge about the natural world that can only have been gained by careful, disciplined observation. Traditional Polynesian navigation in particular is absolutely a scientific endeavour and ought to be recognised as such. Some anti-Māori organization reached out to a bunch of high-profile science promoters including Richard Dawkins, misrepresenting the situation to make it look like New Zealand high school students were going to be taught Māori mythology as science. I suppose that didn't seem all that far-fetched to people who've spent their professional lives fighting the movement to teach Genesis as science to American high school students, and a couple of them, notably Dawkins, responded with letters arguing against the proposal.
Let me be super clear: Dawkins' letter comes from a place of ignorance and gets several things profoundly wrong. But the reason this came to my attention recently is that I have a bit of work this year checking lecture notes written for students with disabilities by their peers, and one politics lecture reproduced that letter. And used a number of unkind words for Dawkins' position, some of which were fairly accurate, but the one that caught my eye was that Dawkins' view of nature (and the entire Western culture of science that he represents) was "anthropocentric". That is to say, it puts humans at the centre; nature is only valuable if it's useful to us. This is as profoundly wrong a misrepresentation of Dawkins as Dawkins' own words were of mātauranga Māori.
Richard Dawkins is the most aggressively anti-anthropocentric author I have ever encountered. Humans not being the centre of the universe is the core theme of his entire opus. Dawkins' "selfish gene" concept means that our genes make our bodies and do all the things they do, not in any sense for our benefit as humans, but purely for their own. Dawkins fixates on evolution because Homo sapiens is just one little twig on the vast and varied tree that is life on Earth. Even his contempt for religion comes from a place of "What's true is true and what isn't isn't; humans and human beliefs are not the source of reality." I could expand on that to essay length but it's not what I'm about here.
How did Richard Dawkins, a world-famous sceptic of decades' standing, fall for some bog-standard racist propaganda? And how did a politics academic, someone who presumably reads texts carefully for a living, get Dawkins' core philosophy so crashingly wrong? If you're thinking "Richard Dawkins being reactionary isn't actually all that surprising," I'm afraid in my experience it is also far from rare for a self-appointed critic of science to wander off at 180° from the point and announce they've arrived. The reason is the same in both cases. Dawkins fell for the racism because Hobson's Pledge framed mātauranga Māori as religion, thus aligning it with his ideological opponents. The politics academic misunderstands Dawkins because Dawkins' stand against mātauranga Māori aligns him with their ideological opponents.

Hazbin Hotel and VivziePop Drama
I've been hearing/seeing a lot of drama concerning Hazbin Hotel and it's creator VivziePop, and while I don't know her personally or really care what people think, I do hate slander and the spread of misinformation. Truly nothing in this world upsets me more than when people believe rumours while making no effort to fact check, and that's exactly what's happening right now. That said, I wanted to try and clear up some of the rumours going around about Vivzie and the show, because I think some of them are absolutely outrageous and need to be addressed.
1. Vivzie hired an abuser onto the show.
Now, I’m not here to burn anyone at the stake, especially since I don’t know anything about Chris Niosi (the alleged abuser), who I believe openly admitted to the allegations? Regardless, this is a moot point. He’s not credited anywhere at the end of the episode. So either he was booted before production wrapped up or he had nothing to do with the show in the first place.
2. Vivzie supports bestiality.
Admittedly I thought this one might be true, since she draws so many anthropomorphic animals. In the very least, I figured she was probably a furry, but I haven't seen any evidence supporting this accusation either. Near as I can tell, this rumour started for two reasons. One, because of her famous Zoophobia comic, which revolves around a therapist named Cameron who gets assigned to work with human-like animals. Ironically, poor Cameron suffers from crippling zoophobia, which makes for some pretty decent comedy. I didn't read the whole comic because, quite frankly, it’s not my cup of tea and I just don’t have the time. But from what I saw there are no examples of bestiality anywhere in its contents.
Two, this message, which blew up all over social media:
Tumblr media
To me, this just proves that people are more interested in virtue signalling than checking to see if their claims are actually true. Everything about this message is 100% false, which I’ll touch on in my next point.
3. Vivzie is a pedophile and she’s drawn child porn.
This is hands down the worst allegation and holy shit, I really wish people would stop using it to defame someone when they don't have any proof. This is a life-ruining accusation and you're disgusting if you believe it based solely on hearsay. This rumour began to spread when Vivzie allegedly shipped the two underage characters in the above photo and drew them NSFW-style. At the time, one character was 19 while the other was 14, and the relationship was a very illegal student-teacher relationship.
This is WRONG! The characters were not 14 and 19, they were actually 18 and 19, the legal age of consent! Additionally, the relationship wasn't student-teacher. One character is a student and the other is Alumni (a student teacher). This one pisses me off the most because it’s obvious the person who sent that message didn’t even bother to conduct any research. They said, “He’s a teacher, she’s a child.” Both characters are MALE!
Since then, Vivzie has apologised for any NSFW art she drew in the past and stated that it's not a reflection of her art today, and I'm inclined to believe her. Almost every artist has drawn NSFW content at some point in their career, and hers wasn't even distasteful. Other than this one example, there is no evidence anywhere that suggests she’s drawn “child porn”. In fact, she’s never even drawn explicit NSFW.
Please stop spreading this rumour. It’s dangerous and completely incorrect.
4. Vivzie said the "N" word!
No, she didn’t. It was a fabricated tweet. That is all.
5. Vivzie is copyright striking every video that criticises her!
No she isn't. YouTube’s DMCA is automatically striking people who are using full clips without permission. Vivzie has gone public several times, telling people exactly how to avoid getting a copy strike from the algorithm, which is something she absolutely does not have to do. At this point, she doesn't owe you anything. In my opinion, she should just sit back and watch these channels burn.
Tumblr media
6. Vivzie copies and traces other artists’ work.
This is another one I’ve seen going around, but I looked into it as thoroughly as I could and failed to find any concrete evidence to support the allegations. As of right now, there are only two examples of Vivzie “copying” or “tracing” other artists’ work, and both of them can be explained. The first is a gif she made with a character from her Zoophobia comic, which looked a lot like the girl from ME!ME!ME!:
Tumblr media
Damn, that’s pretty incriminating. She obviously stole-- oh, wait. This gif was part of a ME!ME!ME! MEP (multi editor’s project) and Vivzie didn’t take full credit, despite the fact that it’s not even a direct trace. It’s supposed to look like the original, which she fully cited. The second example comes from a short dance sequence from her Timber video, which seems to have been inspired by several Disney movies. As Vivzie herself stated, that was an homage to the original animations. Lots of artists and shows do this, including the beloved Stephen Universe series.
Tumblr media
Regardless, this doesn’t count as stealing character designs or plagiarising someone’s work. It’s meant to be respectful, an admiration of other projects. Other than these two instances, however, there is no evidence of her tracing or stealing other people’s art. From what I’ve discovered, all other designs she’s been accused of “stealing” are characters she bought and paid for. They’re quite literally HER characters.
7. Vivzie supports problematic creators.
I’m getting really tired of guilt by association. Vivzie follows and enjoys some controversial figures, but who cares? We can argue all day about whether or not the accusations against them are true, but it ultimately has nothing to do with the show or Vivzie as a person. I do the exact same thing, to be honest-- follow and listen to people on all sides so I can learn, understand, and form my own opinions. The fact that some people think this is bad, to me, is absolutely mesmerising. Vivzie doesn’t control what the people she follows post, and if they do something overly questionable she publicly criticises and denounces it.
From Vivzie:
Tumblr media
Now that that’s been dealt with, I’d like to address some complaints/claims about the actual show.
8. Vaggie is an angry Latina stereotype and a lesbian stereotype. Vivzie is appropriating Hispanic culture and misrepresenting the gay for profit.
First off, I see a lot of people passing around yet more misinformation regarding Vivzie's race. So many people seem to think she's white? Well, I'm here to tell you they're wrong. Very incorrect. Vivzie is in fact Latina, and Vaggie is meant to mirror some of her own personality traits.
Tumblr media
Second, who is Vaggie mad at? Context matters, and if we take a look at the episode, we see that Vaggie is literally only mad at two specific people: Angel Dust and Alastor. Why? Well, for starters, it's her girlfriend's dream to run a rehab hotel for sinners, and Angel Dust nearly demolishes that dream single-handedly. Vaggie has every right to be over-the-top vitriolic. Then there's Alastor, a known sadist, narcissist, and murderer who loves trapping people in his nefarious schemes. He invites himself in, effectively takes over the hotel, and pushes both her and Charlie aside. At one point he even sexually assaults her by slapping her butt during his musical number. So yeah, I think her seething ire is totally justified. Keep in mind, however, that when she's around Charlie she's calm, collected, and happy. I wouldn't call that a stereotype.
Thirdly, the lesbian stereotypes. I keep hearing this argument but I really don't see it. Both Vaggie and Charlie have so much personality and trust for each other. Maybe I'm wrong, but the stereotype I know always totes a more butch, tomboyish woman with a ditsy, innocent, naive woman. Charlie is optimistic, but she isn't stupid. She refuses to shake Alastor’s hand because she knows he’s likely trying to screw her over. She’s also not entirely innocent herself and uses words like “fuck” and “shit”. I also wouldn’t call Vaggie butch or tomboyish. She has a cute, girly presentation, complete with a pink ribbon in her hair, lace stockings, and a dress. She's protective of her girlfriend, as I think we all are with our partners, and there's nothing wrong with that. They're flawed characters, as every character is meant to be. This isn't a problem.
9. The show is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, blah, blah, blah.
I’m amazed this is even an argument. The show is supposed to be a dark comedy that takes place in HELL. You know, the place the worst of the worst end up after they die? What were you expecting? Everyone gets a shot or two fired at them, but that doesn't make them bad characters nor does it make the show itself horrible. Take, for example, Katie Killjoy, the news reporter so many people are up in arms about. She says she doesn’t “touch the gays” because she has “standards”. Well, here’s a newsflash of my own: we’re not supposed to like her! She’s an antagonist. Not to mention ten seconds later Charlie insults her and isn’t the least bit slighted by her pretentious attitude. The characters are strong and don’t take shit from anyone, because to some degree they’re all terrible people who can throw down when it’s called for.
Obviously if you don’t like the show or think it’s offensive, I’m probably not going to change your mind. That’s perfectly fine. You’re entitled to your opinions and you don’t have to watch the show. Just stop lying and stop trying to take it away from everybody else. Stop attacking Vivzie and spreading misinformation without checking the facts. I realise a lot of people probably aren’t trying to be vindictive and only want to do something good, but just remember this: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

today is a good day. It started with the homophobic misogynistic transphobic bastard at work being arrested, led into me both taking a bath and doing TWO (2) loads of laundry (found you missing clothes!) and then transitioned into a Mob Psycho 100 episode plot and finally the queen of freakin' England croaked at inverse sixty nine! Guess seeing all those strapping young men competing was too much for her cold, dead( metaphorically and now physically) heart. Good day all around. I found some old lady at work who was sad and read her the colonization list. She was shocked and appalled. Gonna have to tell Steve today too as its one of the better days of the week. He's my work friend and may be a bit secretly transphobic himself but has the decency to only tell very close friends. It isn't his issue or place. If you HAVE to be one of those, the silent but respectful kind is the way you should be. He can't help being older than spit and growing up in bad times. He can help how he treats people though and he chooses kindness. I can respect that. Crab rave to internalized issues brought about by the past that nobody needs to act on. Crab rave to the death of an old bag. Crab rave to a shower and finding your favorite clothes. Crab rave to the worst person in your workplace that masks as the best most friendly guy you'd ever meet getting busted( met enough of the type to smell something rotten. Arrested for stealing and aiding those who did, too!) And finally crab rave to You Are Dead from Total Distortion the videogame. Crab rave to each and every one of us.
HELL YEAH!! Good things are happening today!!!
Yeah, while I'd rather no one be transphobic at all, if you at least manage to respect people instead of spitting in their faces then you get a pass
CRAB RAVE CRAB RAVE CRAB RAVE in the Crab Rave energy so I say Unity by TheFatRat!!
