#but the cishets need to get out

[hungwy-sinner]

Straight cis people need to get tf off my blog. STOP reblogging my content to female-centric blogs. I will not hesitate to block you. Don’t even interact with my posts at all. I tried to be nice, but y’all are really starting to piss me off. GET. OUT.

pride month is so fun to me because it means i get to see three hundred angry posts about whether cishet ppl should be allowed or kept out of pride written with the tone of that being a real problem that exists when you go outside into the world

Hmm some thoughts…

Something that makes me sad after ofmd s2 is the fact that I feel scared to show it to my friends and family. More scared than after s1. Not because I think it’s bad but because of how queer and sincere it is.

In s1 the queerness could be somewhat brushed aside by cishet audiences. But now with s2 it’s so explicit! The queerness is so constantly present!! Stede and Ed yearning for each other, wee John in drag, izzy wearing makeup for the first time, Ed imagining Stede as a beautiful merman coming to save him, the poly characters, I could keep going…

And all of that makes me feel so happy and it’s so wonderful to see a show so unapologetically queer. But it also makes me nervous to show it to people at the same time cause it feels like they’re seeing too much of me. I’m scared they’ll see the slightly silly but super sincere queerness as too much or as cringe and so I just don’t want to let them see at all. I wanna hold ofmd close to my heart and not let anyone touch it cause I feel like if they call ofmd cringe they’re saying the same to me…

Anyway… I love ofmd so much. It’s so sweet it’s so silly it’s so sincere and romantic and it’s so dear to me!!!! Goodnight!!!!!

something so funny to me abt nishiki pulling up to a fight acting sooooo tough like three times. Fully convinced he would win. And every fucking time he got the living shit kicked out of him like lmfao 😭😭

me waking up in a cold sweat at 6:20am: "I should get evening classes to be a hair dresser & training to be a makeup artist to be my own hair/make-up person on photo/video shoots and defy industry's single-gender-dominated-and-not-improving department segregation system like the all-rounder online creator that I am 👀😤"

Do queer people who gatekeep sexualities and gender identities have nothing better to do like genuinely what is your problem. The whole point of the community is that gender and sexuality are more fuckity wuckity than man or woman, gay or straight and in almost 2024 we STILL have mfs going “nah that’s not a thing :/ you don’t belong in the community” unless they’re causing harm to others I seriously urge you to shut the fuck up. It is the easiest thing in the world to just say “hmm I don’t really understand that. But it’s their life and none of my business” and just move on with your life and let people live theirs. I do not give one iota of a fuck if someone identifies as a wolfgender they/them/bun/bunself AMAB transmasc who is only attracted to butches with curly hair and brown eyes IT DOES NOT AFFECT ME. I’m happy that they’ve found a way to express their identity that feels true to them and then I think about it no further. Like it takes active mental energy and emotion to get pressed over how someone expresses themselves and I don’t understand why you’d put yourself through that stress and then decide to be bitchy and make people feel like shit for being themselves. I’m seriously getting so tired of people in the community acting like it’s a fucking competition or you can only join if you meet X Y and Z criteria as if it’s some college mean girls sorority club. People are actively trying to take our rights away all the time and while this is happening we’re helping them by tearing our teeth into our own. Great

totally not fuming with intense jealousy over people with t4t polyam queer relationships

I thought that piece was just about people focusing too hard on labelling Mizuki instead of letting them be themselves like they ask, not that it was transphobia ._ .

its ok to have ur own interpretation of that piece but its very clear to me that that wasnt ame's intention

i'm paging a MUN atm and there was an assembly, in which 4 white cis-het middle aged men talked about why they chose to become diplomats, and it was so boring, i wanted to die (/j)

but then one of them had actually an interesting speech and i looked him up, and it turns out he's not straight

so my stance stands, and that is

could straight men literally shut up, like everything they ever had to say, has been said in those 2000 (or so) years of misogyny

(and like i obviously don't mean all men and all that, but jesus christ, if only they said something actually interesting)

[unproduciblesmackdown]

another billions analysis thing is like so yeah while it's like "hmm let's think about power" but then doesn't really do that, what's there to offset that is "but let's think about what these people with billions(tm) are doing because of their like personal feelings & lives & whatever" and the personal feelings are the thrilling journey of s1 men following the compass of their ego & the way their personal lives matter at all beyond this is about their Relationships. except the relationships are also actually about the power billions isn't really thinking about because the ones billions focuses on involve this Fealty where one person does whatever and the other is just stuck with it. sure they might air some unhappiness sometimes, but if it's not punished or ignored from the start anyway, it'll still end up so inconsequential that it's as though it never happened. and what's left to offset the way that can't mean anything if you again take it for granted that of course people are just locked into such relationships & best they can do is fix it from the inside or embrace it as is? is "do you think this character is a winner among losers & you want to see them pwn everyone & do whatever they want forever" & if you like all the media the creators do like

i'm never knowingly going to reblog a post that includes the phrase 'touch grass,' and that's not because i don't think it can be psychologically beneficial to get in some outdoor time if possible—i went for a walk earlier! it was great!—or to take a break from conversations that are getting you wound up, but because i think that particular wording generally reveals two things:

first, that the writer is speaking not from a place of genuine concern and sympathy, but from judgmental impatience à la 'get therapy,' which—i too have felt judgmental and impatient in my time, god knows! but when i feel that way i try to go unpack those feelings in private with a thoughtful friend, instead of pretending they constitute a source of wisdom or a helpful sort of energy to direct at people, you know? and i'm definitely not particularly interested in boosting a ventpost from someone else—who pretty clearly hasn't bothered to take the breather they're urging on others, if they're making little digs like that—as if it were actually sincere, carefully-reasoned advice.

and second, that the writer's argument embraces some seriously sloppy assumptions, which pretty immediately undermines my trust in the rest of their analysis—i mean, there's absolutely no guarantee someone's local scene will be any less parochial, just because it's playing out irl! there's also not actually a clean divide between 'people who spend time in the Real World' and 'people who spend time on the internet, which is for porn losers,' as demonstrated by a number of phenomena including, again, the aforementioned grass-recommenders' own presence right here on tumblr…

anyway. obviously we all have our own particular lines we draw around particular rhetoric that bugs us! these are just some reasons why that particular phrasing bugs me.
