#anti rant

[alpaca-md]

Anti’s are so FUCKING stupid bro, Proship is literally in the tags?? If you don’t like it why have you not blocked the tag. Smh

[thethirteenthcrow]

Isn't it a little fucked up that Ryan and Shane feel they have to follow along with what the shippers want though, because they know it sells like you said? Why do you think they do this if Shane also said he didn't want to encourage it?

you're missing one whole big point here and it's ryan and shane's autonomy. y'all keep forgetting that ryan and shane are breathing living human beings who make choices and who stand by their choices? first it's about who they hire and now it's about the content they produce.

y'all talk like us shippers -- or in the context of the previous (assuming ur someone else) anti, an employee -- are constantly holding ryan and shane at gunpoint and play with them like they're our marionette dolls. that's absurd. antis really like to make assumptions for other people and decide what's going on in their brains and what the motives behind whateverthefuck are, but shippers are not like that. we can separate fact from fiction. we know that what we're writing about is fiction and we're more than happy to see both dudes happily married and whatnot. i'm sure i can speak for a certain amount of shippers when i say that we actually wouldn't really want to see ryan and shane end up as a relationship together. they're great personalities and in fiction we'd love to put these little guys in situations, but that's that.

ryan and shane didn't like the content they were making and the company they were working for when they worked at buzzfeed, so they left and took a leap to make their own company. they make the content they wanna make. they make what makes them happy. and they know what works and what doesn't work. i'm speficially talking about editing here - they know what works to leave in a video and what doesn't work to cut out. if they make a lowkey sus joke, they decide to keep it in because the fandom will eat it up. they make that choice because they have autonomy.

if there's one big takeaway from this rant, it's that my biggest constant issue with antis is the infantilising of these grown up men. they can make choices for themselves, stop trying to speak for them. stop putting words in their mouths. stop treating them like your poor little meow meows. if you'd ask me, i'll say that that is fucked up.

"omg how dare you like my post?! Why didn't you click on my profile and click the link to my cardd and then click the dni section and scroll down the whole thing???? Now I have to inconvenience myself by clicking the block button!"

Fyi liking and reposting shouldn't count as dni to begin with

Dni should be specifically for interactions such as messaging or attempting to befriend, unless it's like, a minor liking and reposting nsfw

I don't give a fuck if someone likes or reblogs my stuff, but don't fucking message me if I say not to

This especially applies to the really bullshit stuff on dnis that's like "don't interact if you like this thing!!!"

Me liking something should not determine whether or not I can like a post, like, that's so fucking stupid it's insane

Are you that much of a whiny baby that you can't handle someone having a different opinion than you?

Sometimes people like that stupid anime you don't like

Sometimes people like that romance book you think is weird and gross

Sometimes people watch stuff with jokes you think are unfunny or in poor taste

Sometimes people write shit and draw stuff you don't like

That doesn't mean they have to avoid you

If something bothers you, you have to take care of it

It's your responsibility to manage your triggers and squicks in the wide sea of the internet

I shouldn't have to comb through your account before I like a silly meme to make sure you won't witch hunt me

workplaces should have to legally provide unlimited paid sick leave available immediately upon hire. the limits that companies that even provide paid sick leave put on it is so fucked up. no one can control when they get sick, how often they get sick, or how long they are sick for, and they shouldn't have to suffer for the transgression of being ill.

"oh, but some people might take advantage of that and just stay home all the time and get paid for it!" if there is really a statistically relevant amount of people you have hired staying home on paid sick leave for months or years on end, perhaps your workplace sucks to be at, and you need to change.

give them reasons to come in to work. make it safer and easier to do their jobs. give them work that they can get invested in and talk to them about what that looks like. make sure you aren't overloading them with too much work or making unreasonable demands. pay them an amount that makes the work worth doing to them. actually form a working relationship with your employees instead of treating them like infinitely exploitable wage slaves.

only allowing your workers to accrew "2 hours a week of sick time starting after 6 weeks of employment" or some shit just doesn't match the reality of how sickness or human health works

So, in spite of suing multiple other companies with the assertion that scraping user content for generative AI training is illegal, Long Rodent has decided that the dead bird is going to do the same thing! Natively! On-platform! To train his own new generative AI engine!

With this in mind, I cannot impress this vehemently enough:

If you are on Twitter as a creator of any kind, it's time to pack up your work and GET THE HELL OUT.

"I'm a therian, but even this is too much!"

"This is clinical lycanthropy..." (is a video of a child crying, saying she wishes she were a cat. Literally not related to clinical lycanthropy whatsoever.)

"I'm a therian, but we don't act like that!!!"

"I may be a therian, but..."

SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.

I have lost every ounce of respect for you as a creature. You should be ashamed of yourself. They don't deserve your rudeness, you deserve it. There's no way you used your identity to try to "look better" by acknowledging someone else is "weirder" than you, and therefore more credible for being the "better weird one". You're nothing but a bully. You're nothing but just like the people you claim to hate (anti-therians). You are JUST like them. No excuses.

Fun fact, you are NOT better than the therian that does quads simply because you claim "quads are too weird lol!111!!!1!!!!" You are NOT better than the therian that has a common theriotype. You are NOT better than ANYBODY for being what you are as a nonhuman.

In my eyes, you are anti-therian if you don't support all therians and how they experience their identity. Point-blank. I don't care. You're just an anti-therian. How can you say "I support therians!" yet make fun of another therian for wishing they were their theriotype??? Nonhuman bullies try not to piss me the fuck off challenge.

This is in heavy regards to the young therian I saw on my timeline crying about not being the same species as her pet cat. I am so sorry that the world, especially the internet, is so cruel to you. Even if you never see this post, I still see you for what you are. You are a cat to me. Even if everyone else says otherwise, you. are. a. cat. I see what you truly are. Your body doesn't match, but that doesn't change what you are. I feel so sorry for her. I'm so sorry that you are so young, and are experiencing such terrible lashings from bullies. You are a valid therian, and you aren't "crazy", "messed up", or delusional. You are being yourself, and people can't handle that. I'm so sorry.

Edit: Found out it was satire, and now I'm a bit more peeved. I can't believe I fell for that (it was convincing, at least to me, not going to lie). Looks like I'm just going to be blocking myself entirely out of the TikTok side of the therian community for my own sanity. You can't even tell who's acting in good faith or not.

you are your dr self.

i think alot of people think of their dr self as a COMPLETELY different person, but it's literally you!!

you currently exist in your dr. You are literally always in your dr. you could argue it's a different version of you, but it's still you. what your dr self is capable of, you are capable of, wherever your dr self is, you are, whatever your dr self looks like, you look like. there's no difference between you and your dr self except the differences you make. there is a version of you that has shifted. That version of you IS STILL YOU. literally, the only thing you have to do is make yourself aware of that version of you. that's it. it's not the crazy, magical transformation you think it is.

[derangedfujoshi]

Stalking is a crime, yes that includes your yandere boyfriend

Assault is a crime, yes that includes your whumper/whumpee scenarios

Being part of a mob is a crime, yes that includes your sexy son of a mafia boss

Killing is a crime, yes that includes your blorbo

Zoophilia is a crime, yes that includes you liking Nick Wilde

All your "exceptions" from what is and isn't condemnable in fiction are, in real life, a crime as well. Every dark trope falls in the "it would be a crime to commit this irl" category, it's not just the big age gaps with adult/minor ships and the incest, it's ALL of them. All of them are crimes in the real world, by law. The sentence may vary but you'd still be sent to prison. "But I only like it in fiction!"

So do we.

So do we, so can you get off your high horse and just admit that liking dark themes in fiction, ANY dark theme, does not reflect your moral compass in real life and for the love of everything STOP pretending fake murder is better than fake incest? You sound preposterous.

I saw the words "art influencer" and my frenzy meter filled up.

Before anyone comes at my ass for being "jealous" or that I should "just let them get that bag," no. Wrong. What the fuck is wrong with you.

[alpaca-md]

Now I'm actually pissed off. Me, a minor, doesn't feel very good being called a ped0 for what I like IN FICTION. And no, for the record: I was not groomed or any shit like that. I've come to my own conclusions and decide that calling people ped0's without any proof of harm to ACTUAL KIDS is kinda fucked up actually

Just realized a youtuber I used to watched is an anti loool

[kasmusser]

The way so many "feminist" retellings actually give their women less agency makes me want to bite someone

[drinksglue]

For those who might be confused, "if a work of fiction makes you uncomfortable or upset, stop engaging with it and continue curating your viewing experience" still applies even if said work is made by someone you hate.

Say Hello to me and my big friend down there 😉🍆

[the-pineapple-cake]

I hate when you’re reading an interesting fic and then they through in some stupid subtle anti Jedi thing like ‘Oh the Jedi don’t have mattress because comfort leads to the dark side’ and it’s just like. no the Jedi didn’t do that, don’t be stupid, and so now you just can’t enjoy the fic.

[ebisul]

I have a huge problem with any time someone starts treating the Jedi like space Christianity because it fundamentally misrepresents the Jedi and the Force

The Jedi are not Christianity. The Jedi are religion as a whole. Thats why it pulls from so many different real life religions, yeah that includes methodism and buddhism.

The force is not God and the Jedi don’t treat it as such. The force is love and compassion.

They do not force their beliefs onto anyone either. There are so many religions and understandings of the Force that coexist with the Jedi. You can not say the same for the Sith.
