only on Twitter can statements like “exposing cancer patients to COVID (the disease that kills people, especially people with cancer) so you can throw an in-person event is a terrible thing to do” and “throwing events without COVID (the disease that kills people) mitigations kills people” be controversial
#sphingogo.txt#covid19#ppl can agree that withholding HRT from trans ppl is tantamount to genocide#ppl can agree withholding medical care and resources from ppl based on economic status is genocide#but suddenly#when you state the same for the ongoing pandemic everyone u thought was reasonable starts hemming and hawing#they start wringing their hands about tone (it’s MEAN to tell people the disease that kills people KILLS people)#(bc it might make them feel guilty and no one’s allowed to feel bad about nothing)#and tell you ur fear mongering (telling me all this makes me scared and now it’s ur fault I don’t want to do anything!)#and it’s like#my so called leftist colleagues do you have an ounce of self awareness? any at all?#can you hear yourselves?#do you not notice anything abt how ur scrambling to displace your discomfort?#instead of thinking abt the situation at hand and all the marginalized ppls caught in the crosshairs of an nonexistent pandemic response

Trans men are literally just a joke to so many people. I’ve seen multiple Tik Toks like “When the trans man with HUGE BOOBS(!!!) in a crop top gets mad at me when I misgender him.”
One of these had the OP’s comment of “Why are so many people in my comment section being transphobic towards trans men?”
It’s because you made this a safe space for people who hate trans men!!! You decided to describe trans men’s bodies in dehumanizing, sexualizing ways to make a joke out of us! In what world does “smh trans men are SO EMOTIONAL and expect us to instantly know everything about them and cater to them even though it makes my life so hard (I have to change a word),” not come off as repackaged sexism?
If you say that this is a made up situation, these people will immediately claim that this happens and has happened to them. It’s interesting that either they’re lying or they’re admitting that they’re sexualizing a real man’s body in a way that could easily trigger his gender dysphoria.
#transandrophobia#transmisandry#sexism#trans men are easy targets for them because they can claim that these trans men (who allegedly do not pass and just look like girls)#have male privilege#like#do you hear yourselves???#it makes me dysphoric and this has never happened to me#so sorry that I’m not a skinny man with a binder or top surgery!#I also hate how every one of these that I’ve seen are women!!!#you’d think that women would relate to being spoken of like sex objects but apparently it’s cool when they do it#‘I am not transphobic. I just don’t respect trans men and treat them like women and misgender them on accident so they deserve to be—#misgendered on purpose on the internet for all of my followers to laugh at! But I said that I hate transphobes once 🥺🥺🥺.’

y’all headcanoning poseidon as purposefully sending medusa’s head back to sender knowing gabe would open it is like. entirely missing the point of sally jackson’s character and also SO fucked up if it was poseidon?? who used medusa’s head to kill an asshole man?? like!! what the fuck! not to mention sally jackson?? ms. sally jackson? who kills her abusive husband? who on multiple occasions rejected the help of the man who is both a god and her former lover bc she wants to build her life herself—? and who does it? “if my life is to mean anything, i have to live it myself.” those are sally jackson’s words. the abuse itself was already incredibly watered down in the show and that is upsetting. to have gabe accidentally kill himself because he’s a bumbling idiot waters down her agency against her abuse and is even more so upsetting. to have not just a man but a literal god kill her husband for her is so. do you not see how that’s even worse. and then add in that god being poseidon and the method of murder is medusa’s head? i don’t even have words to articulate it, just—
no matter how you cut it, narratively you only disrespect and degrade sally when gabe’s life is taken by any hand that isn’t hers, and having that hand be poseidon’s is just wild.
#WIIIIIILD TAKE#and i don’t even think some of y’all are hearing yourselves#sally jackson herself told percy he cannot kill her abuser for her#that her life only has value if it’s in her own hands#and that was said to her CHILD who Also suffered at the hands of gabe.#can you imagine how it looks disregarding that sentiment so a literal god can save her?#the god partly responsible to blame for medusa’s fate in the first place?#sometimes depicted as her rapist?#doesn’t look good!#as a disabled woman i am all for needing to be saved#wanting to be saved#not feeling shame in needing help#but sally jackson is not only Not one of those people#but someone who shaped so much of her identity around saving herself#how dare the show take it from her.#and for fans to rub salt in the wound?#i know y’all don’t mean it like that that’s why i’m not angry#but i want y’all to rly consider what you’re saying#pjo show crit#pjo show#pjo fandom#percy jackson#sally jackson#poseidon pjo#medusa pjo#ris raves#gabe ugliano

kinda hilarious seeing some transmascs getting themselves tangled into such a ridiculous discursive knot that they end up arguing trans men can never benefit from patriarchy because we aren’t really men, that nobody will ever view us as men no matter what we do, and that we are doomed to be shackled to our wombs and wide hips for the rest of our lives. this is not a novel transfeminist position but rather the logical conclusion of the reactionary doom spiral that begins when you believe misandry is real
#absolutely moronic discourse you people have soup for brains#it is also inherently transmisogynistic because it requires the parallel belief that trans women also aren’t ‘really’ women and can never#be oppressed by misogyny because no one sees them as women. like do you people hear yourselves#anyway this is not a debate if you disagree with me you’re a transmisogynist <3

stranger things fandom never heard the phrase "every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" and it shows
#the way yall can NOT grasp the complexity of the human experience never ceases to baffle me#if you go around with the attitude of 'if you do anything wrong ever you will always be a Bad person even if you try to make ammends' it#will genuinely ruin your life#AND what kills me is yall tout yourselves as these open minded liberals who are anti cop anti justice system#we need to be more accepting !!!#until the SECOND a person you personally dont like starts acting up#and then the republican comes out REAL quick#the evangelical conservative bible thumper JUMPS out#you know how to be an open minded accepting person?#listen to the people you dont like#hear their stories#offer help#a good person does not only extent a hand to people they like#which... you all watch stranger things i understand why you dont get that message#cuz this is the show of 'the only good guys are the ones who think and act just like us'#so#i see what we're dealing with

i still cannot comprehend how u guys will write or draw or rb something of jack where he is present as a full grown adult and then call him a precious child….
#maybe media literacy IS dead like how can u not understand that his development is not like a regular human’s????#but nah i’m the weird one for thinking he doesn’t have a toddler brain in an adult body#DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES?!#‘well he’s new to the world. he’s just a baby’ everyone regards him as an adult who is new to the world#he literally said right out the gate he is not a baby or child. you just go the baby jack tinted glasses on and can’t separate that from#what’s in canon. ‘they call him a kid’ yeah cuz they’re in their forties and have lived a lot of lives#like kid bc he is their kid but not a kid. ‘kid’ as a term of endearment. idk if u guys have heard of the concept#when does the narrative treat him as an actual child and not just new to the world? or comparison to a child when he doesn’t have his powers#which means child as in ‘weak’ or ‘incapable’ also don’t bring up anything that disabled adults and/or especially autistic adults have/do#like velcro shoes or stimming. focus on his storylines and actual characterization please and tell me how he is a precious child#is it because he is polite? yeah well he’s also bitchy and mean and commanding. it’s almost like he’s a multifaceted character#or something. you’d think considering the writers had written children before that they would’ve chosen child-like storylines and things#for jack’s character but no this is a fantasy show. it’s not just a drama. his age is played for jokes because he *could* choose to be an#adult. because he’s a nephil. because he’s a non-human character who doesn’t abide by typical human development. his physiology is#completely different than an actual adult or child. his fingerprints are even abnormal. and y’all wanna say he is a ‘literal child’#or a ‘baby in an adult’s body’ which if that was true wouldn’t he act like a baby? and wouldn’t the writers make that clear? like where are#y’all getting this from?? i feel like i’ve missed out on a joke. like i’m standing outside the echo chamber wondering where it even#originated from#supernatural#jack kline#supernatural fandom#spn fandom#fandom critical#spn fanfic#spn fanart#spn fanworks#the infantilization of jack kline#hw.txt

vent. sorry i’m honesty hangry and upset
actually i’m still annoyed. has anyone in this damn fandom heard of filtering tags. for shit. they don’t like
also like not to be ‘what about’ but seriously if your biggest problems are fucking shipping wars on tumblr dot com i envy you. truly.
#misc: personal text#also not to Make It Like That but like#a lot of the people i know who like making art about the legion and/or caecade and vulcade#are people of color as well. like do y’all not hear yourselves. asking racially marginalized people who have historically experienced#slavery/forced cultural assimilation#and a host of other issues#if they LIKE SLAVERY and APPROVE of it IN REAL LIFE#fiction can inform reality yes but truly? it is not that deep. some people like dark themes in fiction. be okay with it#i’m indigenous. much of the legion’s narrative is specifically anti-indigenous. i am *literally the product of genocide*#i still enjoy exploring stories with it. because i can choose to like things. or not like them.#some people like to explore unhealthy dynamics in fiction. that does not mean they approve of it.#and DO NOT come at me saying ‘wuh wuh wuh well that means you approve of csam and you’re a pro shipper’ or whatever the fuck people are#saying now. because that is NOT what i’m saying and it is not the same. and you damn well know that.#a piece of creative work does not have to always make you comfortable. i like exploring morally challenging narratives. i like nuance.#i like grey areas in my fiction.#does that mean i condone that irl? hell no#because i know what im about. i know my values. and they’re not necessarily reflected in my storytelling or art#personally i think that exploring horror and toxicity in fiction is a good way to build reading comprehension (once you’ve ‘built’#the thinking muscles for it).#honestly i’m just so so so so tired of this moral scare around always Liking The Right Things#and if you like the Wrong Things and Wrong Media that makes you Bad.#it’s fucking dumb#learn to filter out the shit you don’t like. you are allowed to not like things.

hey israel lovers why r you arguing so desperately the semantics of what an ethnostate is and who the land belongs to when we all fucking know that killing people is Bad
#hey why r we still talking about the terrorist organization because last time i checked terrorists attacks aren't a justification to kill an#entire race of people#“i agree that the genocide is bad” and yet you refuse to focus on fighting to stop the genocide and focus on bullshit#you guys can try to argue about politics and religion once israel isn't KILLING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY ANYMORE#mumblings//#it's so funny bc I read the posts and I'm like maybe I'm wrong. maybe they're right. and then I remember literally nothing they fucking say#will justify the genocide#even if somehow the land did magically belong to them for some fucking reason it still doesn't justifies killing everyone#even if palestine was full of bigoted asshole that still is not a justification for GENOCIDE ARE YOU HEARING YOURSELVES#holy fuck what is wrong with these people

COP 3 really bringing out the worst of the "female coded MCs" takes on Choices Reddit. Lord please yeet me into Mount Atropo.
#like please ask yourself#why is the MC getting walked down the aisle only cringe or problematic when its a non-female MC. do yall not hear yourselves.#i mean I'm not gonna pretend Choices doesn't or has never had gender coding problems#and I'm also not gonna pretend like Choices doesn't write with wlm routes in mind#PB seriously does need more variety and should let us have masculine MCs and feminine LIs#but when ppl are acting like it's only a problem for m!MCs (and sometimes nb!MCs) that's where I start to lose sympathy#Choices and tbh most content in the romance genre in general is already alienating to us GNC/genderqueer folks#+ ppl who like non-normative romance#and takes like these just further alienate us#like idk psure there are men who LIKE being treated as the bride (and their female partner being the groom if mlw) for fucking once#and you'd be hard pressed to find media let alone an interactive game that lets them live out that fantasy#these stories may not have been intentionally made for them but it'd still be pretty fuckin meaningful that they get that here#and who knows maybe it can pave the way for other media to do it too and maybe even better/intentionally#it's fine to want masc MCs but dont act like its not important for f!players too#because as a gal I'm still waiting on when these stories will let me watch my husband-to-be walk down the aisle :P#cop 3#cop 3 spoilers#crimes of passion#crimes of passion 3#crimes of passion 3 spoilers#choices game#choices#choices stories you play#choices stories we play fandom#choices stories we play#cadybear vents#cadybear rants

Anons coming off since some of yall just can’t behave. Cant believe in a source material like One Piece I got idiots on my inbox saying some of the most rancid shit.
Sorry to those who get nervous but yeah, I’m tired. I don’t care anymore when for almost months now I’ve gotten disgusting messages by cowardly anons.
#rambles#vent#yeah great job one piece fans you’re really making a good case for yourselves 👍#‘why are there barely any poc writers’ because you assholes can’t behave that’s why#you’re not entitled to talk to me and I won’t hear that crap anymore#if your first thought is to send racist and hateful messages then be a fucking man and do it off anon#I think this genuinely has to be one of the most racist fandoms I’ve ever been a part of#I can’t believe yall can call yourself fans of this series

a while ago I started watching a youtuber who makes videos dedicated to exploiting various sneaky strategies in order to beat bg3 or dos2 and a couple of other games and one of the first things i noticed abt him was that when he talks he sounds for the lack of a better term and in the best possible sense of the word pretty much exactly like a very stereotypical white twink from the west coast from the tone of his voice and way of pronouncing/enunciating certain words down to the genre of gaming slang and overall humor he uses in general but not in an annoying or grating way I thought he was genuinely funny and his videos were very well made so i binged the bg3 section of his channel and then when i ran out of videos to watch I decided to put on a youtube recording of a 5 hour long stream he did one time. and out of nowhere like an hour or so into it he suddenly goes “wait guys my wife just came home I’ll go say hi and come back in a sec”
#genuinely such a humbling moment for me like ok that’ll teach me to assume ppl’s sexualities from faceless gaming youtube videos#but I’m like 10000% sure you guys would know exactly what I mean his channel name is fracture you can check him out & hear for yourselves#mp
