#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.

Hey, a blog I used to follow (nonbinary support) reblogged a post talking about how “trans men are the men of trans people” and I really advise all of y’all to stay away from them. It scared me, because I’ve been following them for some time, and they’re supposed to be for nonbinary support. You cannot support nonbinary people while also being transandrophobic. You can’t. I unfollowed them, and will probably block them like I did with another blog, a popular sex ed blog, and I’d really advise y’all to do the same. Trans men are men, but they are NOT privileged over other groups because of them being TRANS MEN. Nobody is privileged for being trans!

"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

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.

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.

[ilovecatfr]

Don't believe stuff like "it takes time/effort to shift" because what you are doing is affirming it. You can shift in a second and even less. Don't doubt it.

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.

normalize not making fun of others!!!! i dont think this should have to be said but it does. we are a small ass community and honestly fuck the antis and misinformation and whatever the fuck else because making fun of each other is arguably just as if not more damaging. i keep seeing people making fun of people who havent shifted to their dr yet and people judging people for their drs and their s/os and their appearances and faceclaims and honestly im so fucking sick of it. why cant we just let each other be????

like be so fucking for real

its not hurting anybody

let people script angst

let people script smut

let people script whatever they fucking want

let people shift to wherever they want because its their fucking life

let people love whomever they love

let people look however they want to look

its

not

hurting

you

are we all just fucking tired of our cr's

[junktastic]

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.

[marwiaft]

I'll actually go insane

so, I have a friend group that I met in a shifting server back in 2021 ㅡ but they all "grew out" of shifting and decided that it was just some crazy phase or whatever.

we were talking today and then one went: "I wish I'd study in Hogwarts soo bad" and the rest all agreed and started whining about it... I had to physically stop and take a deep breath.

they have the door and the key, but they decide to run away from the door and shove the key up their asses. that makes me go feral 💀

I guess that's why I genuinely believe in destiny. people pass by so many opportunities and don't bat an eye ㅡ except for the ones who are destined to follow through these opportunities. what is meant to be yours will never leave you alone.

I mean, can you imagine? throwing away the chance of living the life of your dreams for the rest of eternity? couldn't be me lol

[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

Everytime a proshipper says “fiction doesnt affect reality” its usually in the context of “just bc i indulge in this doesnt mean im this bad thing”

everyone knows that fiction can affect reality, it can affect your personality and your beliefs, but rarely does it ever make you do bad things, if youre compelled to do bad things because of fiction, youre alr mentally ill and thats not the fault of the media.

so if shipping/writing about child x adult makes me a pedo

then anyone who draws, writes about, reads, or watches Horror or Slashers is a murderer. if you like bad characters, that means you committed their crimes apparently

if you like this piece of media it MUST mean you condone every single aspect of it!!!!!

I like reitanna seishins Muffins series, does that mean im a cannibalistic serial killer? NO. Obviously not.

[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.
