Propaganda
Eartha Kitt (Anna Lucasta, St. Louis Blues)—My friend and I have a saying: NOBODY is Eartha Kitt. A thousand have tried, and they've all come up empty and will continue to do so. Everyone knows her for something: from "Santa Baby" to Yzma in Emperor's New Groove to Catwoman to making Lady Bird Johnson cry for the Vietnam War. She was a master of comedy and sex, an extremely vocal activist, and she aged like fine wine... I honestly don't know what I can say about her that hasn't already been said, so I'll stick to linking all my propaganda. Like what else do you want from me. She was iconic at everything she ever did. Literally name another. How can anyone even think of her and not want to absolutely drown?
Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, Ziegfeld Girl)—Look. I'm sure someone has already submitted Hedy Lamarr because she was spectacularly beautiful, and a very strong lady too: she fled both an abusive marriage AND nazi persecution at a very young age and rebuilt a life for herself pursuing her love for acting all on her own!! Her career as an actress was stellar; while she began acting outside of Hollywood (her very first movie, Ecstasy, won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), she conquered American hearts very quickly with her first movie in the US, Algiers, and then just kept getting better and better. If all this isn't enough, she was also an inventor: her invention of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique forms the base of bluetooth and has a lot of applications in all kinds of communication technologies. I think that deserves a prize, don't you?
This is the final poll of the Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
THIS POLL LASTS FOR 24 HOURS.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Eartha Kitt:
Tumblr media
"A hot vintage woman who was not just known for her voice, beauty, poise, and presence, but also her unapologetic ways of speaking about how she was mistreated in the show business as a girl who grew up on cotton fields in South Carolina in the 1930s through the 1940s coming to Broadway first and then Hollywood."
Tumblr media
"Have you watched her sing?? Have you seen her face?? Have you heard her talk?? How could you not fall instantly in love. She makes me incoherent with how hot she is."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"She can ACT she can SING she can speak FOUR LANGUAGES she is a GODDESS!!! Although she is (rightfully) remembered for her singing, TV appearances (Catwoman my beloved), and later film roles, her early appearances in film are no less impressive or noteworthy!! She’s an amazing actress with so much charisma in every role. She was also blacklisted from Hollywood for 10 years for criticizing the Johnson administration/Vietnam War, so. Iconic. Also Orson Welles apparently called her “the most exciting woman in the world.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"She had such a stunning, remarkable appearance, like she could tear you to shreds with just a glance- but the most undeniable part of her hotness was her voice, and it makes sense that it's what most people nowadays know her for. Nothing encapsulates the sheer magnetism of her singing better than this clip of her and Nat King Cole in St. Louis Blues, she pops in at 2:49. Also I know it's post-1970 but her song that was cut from Emperor's New Groove is likely to make you feel Feelings."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Even with as racist as Hollywood was in the 1950s and 60s, Eartha Kitt STILL managed to have a thriving career. She also once had a threesome with Paul Newman and James Dean, and called out LBJ over the Vietnam War so hard that it made First Lady Johnson cry. Eartha Kitt was talented, sexy, and a total badass activist."
Tumblr media
Hedy Lamarr:
Tumblr media
"The only person you can find both on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in the Inventor's Hall of Fame--her radio-frequency-hopping technology forms the basis for cordless phones, wi-fi, and a dozen other aspects of modern life. She was also passionate in her efforts to aid the Allies in WWII (unsurprising for a Jewish-Austrian Emigree to America), and her name served as the backbone for one of the best running jokes in what is possibly Mel Brooks' best movie. Look, Louis B. Mayer apparently believed he could plausibly promote her as "The world's most beautiful woman". Is an entire website full of people going to be less audacious than one Louis B. Mayer? I didn't think so!"
Tumblr media
"Described as "Hedy has the most incredible personal sophistication. She knows the peculiarly European art of being womanly; she knows what men want in a beautiful woman, what attracts them, and she forces herself to be these things. She has magnetism with warmth, something that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve" by Howard Sharpe, she managed to escape her controlling husband (and Nazi Germany) by a) Disguising as her maid and fleeing to Paris or b) Convincing the husband to let her wear all of her jewelry to a dinner, only to disappear afterwards. Also she was particularly clever and helped develop Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (I can't really explain it but anyway...)"
Tumblr media
"Her depiction of Delilah and Samson and Delilah just lives rent free in my head. The woman was gorgeous."
Tumblr media
"One of the most beautiful women ever in film, spoken by many critics and fans. Beautiful shapely figure, deeper seductive voice, and often played femme fatale roles. She was also brilliant and an inventor. Mainly self-taught, she invested her spare time, including on set between takes, in designing and drafting inventions, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink, and much more."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Gorgeous and brilliant pioneer of modern technology and the middle part."

Part 2 Part 3
Tumblr media
“What’s that?” Freddy points to the lump behind Gus’s coat. 
“Nothing,” Gus shrugs, “shall we.” 
“We shall not,” Freddy shouts exasperated, “it’s moving! Unless you became the hunchback of Notre Dame in the ten minutes I left you, you got something hidden behind your back!” 
“He’s got a point, boss,” Hazy shrugs. 
Gus sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose, “I think the jig is up,” he pushes the coat up and out you pop from behind his side, disappearing behind him with a shriek. 
“Where the hell did you find a woman?!” Freddy looks around, then goes silent putting two and two together, “Oh, I see.” 
“She’s coming with us,” Gus reaches behind him and you grasp his hand, trembling hard at being surrounded by so many men. His touch is warm, and you take a moment to breathe before stepping out from behind him at your full height. 
“Hello,” you whisper, giving an awkward wave. 
Gus lets go of your hand and claps making you jump and his face quickly turns apologetic, “Fuck, sorry about that, love. These are the boys,” he points to each man giving you a quick rundown on his merry band of miscreants. He turns to you with a proud smile, “I never did catch your name.” 
“Let me get this straight,” Freddy puts his hands on his hips, sticking out one finger towards Gus, “you find a random woman hidden in a Nazi garrison, fight your way out with her, and decide to bring her with us, without asking her name first?” 
“Probably did it a bit backward,” Gus rubs the back of his head with a chuckle, “but I’m making up for it now.” 
You clear your throat and they all turn towards you as you say your name, a small smile spreading across your face when they repeat it to you. “Welcome to the team,” Anders bows before putting his bow over his shoulder, “shall we get back to the boat, we got somewhere we need to be.” 
“After you,” Gus says, frowning when he realizes Anders is already halfway back to the boat. “That’s the spirit Lassen, lead the way!” Gus slings an arm around your shoulder and helps you walk, it’s slow and painful; your foot aches with every step but you keep it to yourself. These men have already done enough liberating you and agreeing to take you with them. The last thing they need is for you to be injured. But nothing gets past Gus. 
He doesn’t ask, just leans down and swings you up into his arms. You gasp, quickly wrapping your arms around his neck. “Wh-what are you doing?” you whisper. 
“You’re limping,” he whispers back, almost like two children sharing a secret, he grins. “I’m not about to let you hurt yourself worse before I can take a look at your injuries.” 
“I’m fine,” you bite your lip looking away, “you’ve done enough already.” 
Gus stops, the others moving around him to toss the rope down the cliff side, “Darling, I know you’ve just spent gods knows how long with the worst creatures imaginable but not all of us are monsters.” 
“I didn’t say you were,” you turn back to him, and catch your breath when you notice how close he is. “I don’t think you’re a monster at all,” you whisper, swallowing hard, “I just don’t want to cause you any more trouble.” 
“Do you know what I thought when I saw you tucked behind that wall crying and holding your ears?” You shake your head, and he grins, “She looks like just my kind of trouble.” 
The first smile in months spreads like wildfire across your face and you nod. “Ready?” Apple interrupts, “We managed a pulley to get her down.” 
Gus nods, lifting you into the makeshift pulley and working with Apple to lower you down. When you reach the ground Lassen lifts you into his arms while Gus and Apple come down and re-wrap the rope around their arms. 
When finished, Gus reaches his arms out for you and Anders smiles, tugging you closer. “I think I’ll hold on to her for a while. Give you a break,” he looks down giving you a conspiratorial wink. 
“Give me back my damsel,” Gus holds out his arms wider, “I’m not going to ask again.” 
“Who are you calling a damsel?” you ask, crossing your arms over your chest, and Lassen lets out a joyful cheer. 
“You tell him, honey,” he turns walking with you back towards the dinghy. His glee makes a ghost of a laugh appear in your throat before you toss your head back in delight. 
Apple pats Gus on the back as he climbs into the boat and you look back to see Gus smiling, a full-blown smile just for you and you rest your head on your arm and look back at him. “It’s good to see you laugh,” he mouths, and your cheeks ache from smiling as he sits down and begins to row. 
“Row row, row your boat,” Lassen mumbles under his breath, the lull of the waves and the feeling of safety making your eyes droop. “Oh, the little lamb is tired, no?” he whispers in your ear, “You rest, no one will harm you ever again.” 
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” you repeat your fathers words aloud. 
“Little lamb, with the way Gus is looking at me right now. You don’t have to worry about anyone hurting you for the rest of your life.” He rubs a hand over your arm and chuckles, mumbling, “if looks could kill.” 
“He won’t always be there,” your words are drowsy as you burrow deep into his arms, letting out a yawn. 
“Ah, little lamb, I highly doubt that,” Lassen chuckles softly, before you feel yourself being lifted into anothers arms. The scent of smoke, cologne, and leather lull you into a deeper sense of calm and you snuggle into his arms. Gus looks down, brushing a knuckle over your cheek and committing your face to memory as you fall asleep, breathing softly. “Take a picture,” Lassen teases, “it will last longer.” 
“Her cell was next to mine,” Apple interrupts, “she was always so nice to me. Tried to patch me up the best she could through the bars. I tried to return the favor, everytime they brought her….fuck I can still hear the screaming.” The men are silent, the waves crashing against the dinghy as they get closer and closer to the boat. 
“Well,” Freddy clears his throat, “she’s safe now.” They reach the boat, helping Gus aboard and watching as he disappears below deck with you. 
“Heaven help the man who tries to take her away from him,” Hayes clears his throat, and the rest climb aboard and continue on toward Fernando Po. 
Below deck, Gus tucks you into his bunk and watches the rise and fall of your chest before he moves towards the end of the bed, and lifts the blanket to remove your shoe. He curses when he sees the bruising around your ankle. He removes the other shoe and has to control his breathing when he sees the same markings; shackles. 
“Never again,” he whispers, grabbing bandages and ointments and applying them to your ankles. The bottom of your foot is no better, and he grabs the tweezers removing several shards of glass and bandaging your feet. “No wonder you were limping,” he talks to himself. He takes the next twenty minutes checking over the parts of your body he can see, treating every little cut and bruise. When he’s finished he walks over to a basin of water and washes his hands before pouring a glass of scotch and sitting down at the map. 
He loses track of the time, his head snapping up from the table when the screaming starts. He pushes the chair out, climbing over the table to grab your thrashing body. He repeats your name over and over again till your eyes pop open, gasping you reach towards him throwing your arms around his neck and letting out a sob. “I thought it was a dream,” you sob brokenly into his skin, almost crawling into his lap, “I dreamed I was back there,” you take a deep breath, “that they were…” 
“No,” he shakes his head, pulling back to put both hands on your face, his thumbs brushing the tears from your eyes. “You’re safe,” he repeats once, then twice, “do you hear me?” 
“I’m safe,” you repeat back, the tears silently streaming down your face. From the stairs, the men stare at the scene before them. “Uh oh,” Freddy shakes his head, and the others turn to him with various questions. “Look at them,” he points back to you and Gus, “he looks at her like he just realized what love was.” 
“I didn’t know you were a romantic, Freddy,” Apple claps him on the shoulder with a laugh. “I’m not,” he shrugs, “but I’m also not blind. That right there,” he points a finger, “that’s love if I ever saw it. You just wait, I bet you ten pounds she goes home with him at the end of this mission.” 
“I’ll take that bet,” Hayes tosses over his shoulder. 
Apple raises a brow, “you don’t think they’ll end up getting hitched once we’re home.” 
“That wasn’t the bet,” Hayes grins, “he bet that she’ll go home with him at the end of the mission. I think we’ll either be dead or in jail so she probably won’t be going home with him.” 
“Never bet against yourself, Hazy,” Freddy shakes his head, “have I taught you nothing.” 
“It’s your deal,” Henry reminds him before shrugging past to go back to the deck, “let’s go, give them some privacy.” 
Their steps recede and Gus rubs the last of your tears away, “do you want something to eat?” 
“Yes,” you nod, moving from his lap and tugging the blanket around your shoulders. When you step down, you quickly look at the bandages around your feet and ankle before meeting his eyes, “thank you,” you whisper, “for everything.” 
“You don’t have to thank me,” he puts the kettle on, “any decent human being would do the same.” You sit down at the table seeing the maps and confidential files spread across the surface. Gus grabs the papers and puts them into a pile before putting down a cup of steaming tea before you. 
“I have a few questions,” you wrap your hands around the cup, absorbing some of the warmth. 
He takes a sip, blowing the top with a grin, “I’d be disappointed if you didn’t.” 
“What were you doing in the Garrison?” 
“Rescuing Appleyard,” he takes another sip, “we needed him.” 
“For what?” 
Gus puts down his cup, crossing his arms over his chest and your heart beats a little louder at how strained the fabric is over his bulging biceps. You quickly take a sip of your tea, burning your tongue when you meet his eyes, seeing amusement sparkle. “Enjoying the show?” you cough, the tea spilling down the front of your dress. “Shit,” he shouts, grabbing a towel and pulling out the chair beside you to sit down. You grab it and soak up the liquid from your dress, the top sinking lower with each tug. 
When you’re finished you glance up to see his eyes on your chest before he quickly averts his eyes and clears his throat. “Enjoying the show?” you smile softly when he coughs and lets out a strained laugh. 
“Very much,” he turns his head and your mouth goes dry. Neither says anything for a moment before he goes back to the pile and tugs out the map. You take another sip of tea to prevent being parched when he spreads it over the table. “We’re on a secret mission for the English government.” “Come again?” you clear your throat, sitting up straighter. 
He grins, “We are on an unsanctioned, unofficial mission to destroy a ship and two tug boats holding enough supplies to supply the German U-boats for six months. We destroy those ships and we regain control of the Atlantic.” 
“And how do you plan to do that?” 
“Explosives,” he pushes a tin of biscuits towards you, “tons of explosives. What do you think?” 
You sit there for a moment, processing everything he’s said before reaching into the tin and pulling out a ginger snap. You dip it into your cup before taking a bite with a grin, “where can I sign up?”

TERFs: Patriarchy's Hench(wo)men
Tumblr media
So, over the last three days I went into the anthropology of the patriarchy, given that it is not natural, but a fairly recent cultural development. I went into the definition of the term, the development of the modern patriarchal hegemony through colonialism, and into the reason why our modern patriarchy seeks to suppress queerness.
To sum it up once more: from all we can say anthropoligically (so from the study of humanity) is that patriarchy as we know it is a fairly recent development, that has not been around for longer than 10 000 years - at least in any form that we would recognize. It developed probably alongside agriculture in some regions, though it developed multiple times. It is highly likely that before it humans lived either egalitarian or under matriarchy, with the main reason for the prevalence of patriarchy today being colonialism and the simple fact that matriarchy is a low control way of organizing a society, while patriarchy tends to be high control. Hence, matriarchies might be converted into patriarchies, but it is near impossible to archive the same in the opposite direction. Through some means (possibily schismogenesis) the version of patriarchy we live under today developed very strict gender roles that are defined in opposition to both each other and the gender roles of some societies that western colonialism suppressed. Because people with any sexuality outside of alloheterosexuality did necessarily break those gender roles, those sexualities became suppressed.
However, today we will talk about transgender people - and about the simple fact that TERFs (who are not really feminist, and most certainly lack a base understanding of what the patriarchy even is, as we can also see in their need to point out that the issue is "men", not the patriarchy) are enforcing the patriarchy.
Do I believe this will be read by TERFs? No. If anything they will probably reblog this after reading the first three lines, without reading any of the text below, let alone the linked sources.
For everyone else, though: I did my best to provide a lotta sources, for the next time you encounter some of these bullshit claims in the wild.
TERFs Sure Love NeoNazis
Technically speaking, this should be a no-brainer, of course, given how often we see the loudest of TERFs align themselves with open neo nazis. Be it Posy Parker allowing outright neo nazis to speak at her ralley in Australia, or be it the fact that Elon Musk - someone who by now used the Hitler Salute multiple times in the open - so often agreed with JK Rowling, something she never pushed back against. And if I know one thing about neo nazis it is that they are pretty much the opposite of feminists. And before some TERF somehow starts to argue the countrary, might I remind you, that it has been shown again and again, that right-wing ideology leads to not only a higher risk of intimate partner violence, but also a willingness to defend IPV.
I know that talking to TERFs is basically like the fight of Don Quixote against his windmills, given that their base understanding of suppression of women is already wrong. The patriarchal hegemony is not something that men do upon women, but a cultural system that is upheld by a majority of the people within it, while also - and this has been proofen again and again - harming the majority of people under it. The patriarchy is upheld by cis women, as much as it is by men. Mothers telling their daughters to not dress skimpy, as this would invite SV, are upholding the patriarchy, as are mothers, who push for their children to be married. Female HR managers (and keep in mind, HR is a majority female field), who will hire a man over a woman are upholding the patriarchy. Same goes for female teachers, telling their female students a short skirt supposedly distracts the male students, or allowing boys to harass girls to a certain degree on the basis of "boys will be boys".
Patriarchy is not "men suppress women", but "a system suppresses everyone". (And because of this, radical feminism is a BS theory beginning to end, as it is centrally build on the "men suppress women" angle.)
So, based on this, let us talk about how TERFs uphold the patriarchy.
TERFs are Intersexist
I want to start with the one thing that does not get acknowledged often enough: TERFs are inherently intersexist. They will again and again claim there are only two sexes. But there aren't. There are many. Intersex people exist, are highly likely to suffer medical abuse, and are way more likely to develop an identity not congruent with their assigned sex, if they get assigned a certain sex at birth.
I say it again: If I, someone with Swyer Syndrome (meaning: I have XY chromosomes, a "vagina" and uterus, and no working gametes), ask different TERFs what sex I am, I will get very different answers. Some will claim I am male, because I have XY chromosomes. Others will claim I am female, because I happen to be born with a hole between my legs.
I was assgined female - due to that hole - but I identify as male.
But the TERFs' attitude already shows the main issue with the ideology: TERFs do the exact thing that caused patriarchy to develop to begin with. They reduce people to their genitalia, and specifically reduce women to the ability to give birth.
Now, nobody doubtst that this ability to give bith is what caused the patriarchal system to develop (as I explained: patrilnear inheritance can only be ensured if a woman is restricted to only have sex with one male partner), however, it has been a long time since it was the main concern of the oppressive system we live under.
This system instead is very much defined by forcing women and men into strict gender roles, which they have to adhere to. The system expects this strict adherence from both women and men, not just one group, and will punish non-adherence in some ways or forms, though the non-adherence is punished differently depending on who is breaking it. A variety of factors, including (assumed) sex, race, age and social status will play into how "disruptive" the system will consider any non-conforming behavior.
TERFs Spread Misinformation on Gender
For the rare chance that an actual TERF is still reading to this point, I might also point out: no, gender roles are not the same as gender. Gender role is the specific set of behaviors that is expected of everyone of a certain gender to perform - and the normative assumption (that TERFs agree with) is that the gender can be assumed from either the chromosomes, or the genitalia in question. This is however not the case.
The truth is, that as of right now, science does not really understand how gender works on a neurological level. But science knows that it is happening on a neurological level. Mainly due to the harsh transphobia, that leads not only to open public violence against us, but also to again and again legal discrimination of us (like the ruling in the UK), a lot of neuro-scientists, and people working in psychology, psychiatry and genetics are very hesitant to further delve into this question. And I as a trans person absolutely get it. I personally hate the pathologization of trans-ness. But this does not change the fact, that being trans is somehow routed in our neurology and psychology. (Which is to remind you: psychology is also a medical field - when you have mental health issues like a depression, there is something physically wrong with your body, that very likely has created a hormonal imbalance in your brain.)
A very simple explanation here: Most of you will be aware that people who have lost a limb due to illness or injury experience phantom pain or phantom sensation. Basically, their brain does perceive that the limb is still there, as the surgery did not remove all neural pathways. We have seen in the past that also some people who never had had a certain limb because of birth defects will at times experience similar sensations. Which does imply that the human brain somehow has a map of "how the body should be". Which brings me to trans people.
Studies have shown that trans women, who went through bottom surgery (so having their penis and ballsack removed, most commonly with then having a neo vagina of some sort created) experience phantom pain/sensations of the phallus way, way less commonly than cis men who had the phallus removed either for medical reasons or through an act of violence. More recently, there also have been multiple studies that showed, that meanwhile quite a significant number of trans men meanwhile do absolutely experience those phantom sensations and at times even phantom pain of the phallus they were not born with. Now, mind you, the experience of bodily dysphoria (which this is linked to) differs massively between different trans people. I personally have massive dysphoria about my breast tissue, but little to no dysphoria about my crotch.
Sadly so far there is little to no studies about phantom sensations in regards to breasts in either trans men post top-surgery, or in trans women pre-HRT and eventual top-surgery. We know that cis women who had mastectomy have at times phantom sensations related to this, but as I said: there is little to no data in regards to trans people, but the data we have on the "phantom phallus" would make me assume it will be similar. Meaning: quite a few trans women might have it before getting breasts, while trans men will probably not have it post top-surgery.
And before someone comes in here with the BS theory of "autogynophilia", two things: a) trans men and non-binary people are real. b) "Autogynophilia" has been disproven again, and again.
And before someone brings up long outdated studies that seemingly proof "autogynophilia", be aware that homosexuality was similarly pathologized for the longest time - often being grouped with exhebitionism and stuff like pedophilia, and somehow we can all agree that that is bullshit, right?
TERFs Agree with the Biggest Misogynists
So, let's get back to the issue of the patriarchy once more.
The patriarchy is build on the idea to assume a) a sex and gender binary that allows them to build an easy hierarchy, b) assume gender and sex being parallel to one another - which again allows the hierarchy to remain simple, and c) then assign gender roles accordingly. A and B are a needed basis for C to even be applied, and are a basis of the hierarchical structure that patriarchy has been constructed around. And guess what TERFs (and a lot of radfems in general) tend to do? They defend A and B, and let's face it, despite being so outspoken about shaving and make-up, it is quite noticable that not only do most prominent TERFs present quite femme, but often enough also defend heteronormativity.
Which also reminds me of another talking-point beloved by TERFs: the idea of sex-based oppression.
Now, I am not going to doubt that in some countries where the patriarchy is enforced in stronger legal forms than it is in the western hegemony, sex-based oppression is a thing. However, I would also ask you to consider that those tend to be the countries, that not only not recognize transgender people at all, but also at times punish trans "behavior" (so dressing or presenting not aligning with one's assigned sex) with imprisonment or even the death penalty. So, once more I got to ask TERFs: why is it your politics align with the most misogynist countries of the world? The ones that actually enforced sex-based oppression.
TERFs Misrepresent Crime Statistics
Because here is th thing: generally speaking within the Western world, where presenting not in allignment with ones sex is generally legal (even though the UK most certainly wants to change this), sex-based oppression happens, but usually happens in medical contexts. Anti-abortion laws undoubtedly are sex-based oppression. As is the fact that women are underrepresented in clinical research, which leads to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis in women.
But here is the thing: the fact is, that indeed most people "cannot always tell". This goes doubly so if we also consider intersex people, who often grow up not even knowing themselves what their actual sex is. Hence most oppression against women is directed at anyone perceived as a woman. Trans people who pass will be treated as such. Trans men will be treated as men, trans women as women, as long as you do not force them to basically announce all the time they are trans. (In the latter case, trans women will be treated worse than cis women, mind you. No cis man who is misogyn will go: "Oh, so you actually are a guy! Let's go grab a beer." Chances are, they are more likely to turn violent then - especially given that 30 states of the US still allow "trans panic" as a viable legal defense for violence and even murder.) Intersex and non-binary people will also always just be treated based on the assumed gender.
This is while trans people are a lot more likely to be the target of violence than cis people, especially sexual violence. And while trans men are more likely to be the victim of both general physical violence or sexual violence than the average cis woman (though I will once more point out: indigenous cis women are in fact more likely to experience violence than white trans men), trans women are far more likely to be the target of this violence than trans men. This shows especially in regards to the murder statistics. Most trans people murdered are trans women of color.
This I point out, because TERFs - who clearly have never heard of google - love to tout that actually trans men are way more victimized than trans woman, because of their "sex-based oppression". But yeah, all research very clearly shows the opposite.
Now, again, to also push against that other talking point: trans men still are more likely to face discrimination of various kinds than cis women, so please just leave out the dumb "women only transition to male identity to escape the patriarchy" bs hanging. Just as trans people, men, women, and non-binary, are a lot more likely than cis people in every country to be homeless.
I also would love to show you some scientific data on how rare it is for trans people to be perpetrators of crime, but there is an issue: they are so unlikely to be perpetrators, that there is too little data to have proper stastics on this.
As those statistics all show: if you are trans, you are a lot more likely to experience violence, poverty, and homelessness, than if you are cis, even than if you are a cis woman. This likelihood is even bigger if you are non-white.
Because, again: the patriarchy is constructed on enforcing a clear hierarchy with clear roles. It is the punishment of those who break those roles, that is the main oppressive factor of the patriarchy. I will absolutely agree with women who say that the standard role of the woman is one subjected to violence. Being reduced to a "thing" absolutely is violence. And due to a lot of women not wanting to conform to that role anymore they will experience a lot of subtle "punishment" for it. But the patriarchy punishes those who go against the system more strongly with harsher punishments, so queer people of all colors, and especially trans people, as they break with those assigned roles in the strongest way. As such TERFs are doing the work of the patriarchy by enforcing the gender binary and cis-normativity.
TERFs Spread a Wrong Narrative Around Rape
Then let me talk about another, related bullshit point, that proofs very much how much TERFs actually want to support men who suppress women: the entire "bathroom rape" narrative. Though I am willing to give a bit of understanding towards this one, as women are taught the base narrative this is based on everywhere at least. So while the story is made up bullshit based on something that never happened, this is based on a narrative that is very common in our society: the story of the "public space rape".
Even outside of transphobia narratives connected to this are often spouted - especially in white feminist spaces. You know the one: "As a woman I never feel safe when walking home alone/being alone at night at a parking lot/being alone at night at [insert public space]." I am in no way doubting that women do not feel that threat, because it is the most common story we hear about rape: rape is something that is done to women out of nowhere in a lonely, but public space by a stranger. Quite often this goes along with narratives against minorities. Be it the "gang of Black men raping a white woman" or the "psychopathic guy waiting in a lonely park" or now the "man dressing as a woman going into a public bathroom". Those stories have something in common: the perpetrator is a stranger, the victim is a woman, and there is some reasoning behind it, allowing for a "prevention" narrative. Be it "we need to control [racial minority]", be it "we need to criminalize [mental disorder]", be it "women should not go out alone at night", or the oldie but goodie "women should not wear short skirts".
However: This is not how rape happens in the real world, and those people who actually are feminist do their most to fight against those stereotypes. We know that the vast majority of sexual assaults do not get perpetrated by strangers, but by friends, partners, and family members, or at least someone the victim typically interacts with. They do not tend to happen in a public space, but often in private rooms or offices. The majority of cases does not get reported (often because the perpetrator is a friend), does not get followed up on, and do not lead to a conviction (that mostly because of the patriarchy). We also know that about a third of all women tend to have experienced some sort of SA, though the likelihood is higher if the woman is BI_POC, disabled, or queer (including trans women). As stated above: in the US at least the group statistically most likely to be targeted are indigenous women. They are also the one group that is fairly likely to experience the typical narrative "stranger in an open space", due to the legal issues regarding law enforcement on the reservations.
Ironically, though, we do not even have proper statistics on how often cis men experience SA, or on how common lesbian SA is, as most studies focused on male on female SA. There is some evidence that points to the fact that actually men might have been victimized in this way about 27% - so actually close to the statistic of women (32-35% of all women, depending on the statistic). But we have a lack of data.
On the opposite end however, the aforementioned issue strikes: while I have no doubt that there have been a handful of cases where trans people (no matter whether trans men or trans women) have perpetrated sexual violence, there are so few of them that we have absolutely no significant studies on this.
But the fact remains: no, a rapist is probably not going to wait for you in a public bathroom. Chances are they are not going to wait for you in a public park or in some lonely alley at night either. You are far more likely to be raped in your own bedroom or living room, than anywhere else. If this happens to you, the perpetrator will most likely be a friend, a family member, or even someone you are dating, if not even your married partner.
And even though I know this is dumb, and insignificant "got'cha": why would a man, who is highly likely to get away with raping a woman, go not only through the effort of so much as buying a dress and putting on make-up, let alone actually try to transition with HRT, surgeries, a lot of bureaucracy and so on, highly increasing "his" own likelihood to experience violence in turn?
I am sorry, but nobody can sincerely claim this!
And yes, this is another perspective in which TERFs help the patriarchy. Because the patriarchy loves the narrative of the "stranger rapist in a public place", as it keeps the fault pinned on minorities and the women themselves, rather than dealing with the rape culture that indeed is a thing that exists - just not the way it is described in so many contexts. It is the belief that certain people - mainly cis, influential men - should have sexual access to other people, men and women, they desire.
And before I move on to the last point: The same as with the bullshit claim about bathrooms, goes for domestic violence programs. While this area is not studies very well, we know that trans people are much more likely than cis people to experience domestic violence, both in terms of IPV, and parental/familar violence. This is the reason that trans people make up such a large percentage of homeless people (as mentioned above), and why among homeless youth trans kids are among the biggest groups. Because of this it is essential that crisis centers are open for trans people. Because we otherwise will not survive - and we statistically speaking are in fact less likely than cis people to be violent towards other people there.
TERFs Think Men Are Better Than Women
So, let me get to the last big point: the entire sports narrative.
You know, whenever a non-white, a bit more masculine woman, who might in some cases also be intersex - but not always is - wins in a competition, TERFs will go to the trenches of twitter to proclaim that this woman is actually a trans woman, which in TERF logic is a man.
This, ironically, is probably the clearest example of TERFs screaming: "We love the patriarchy! Please, men, oppress us more!" Because history shows, that the gender-segregation of sports mainly exists to preserve one thing: the male ego, and the patriarchal narrative of men being physically supperior to women. The most recent example of this is the shooting event. This event was usually not segregated at the olympics. After all: why would it be? That was until Zhang Shan won Gold at the Olympics. The event first banned women, before being segregated. And history does show that this has happened several times before. A lot of sports only got segregated once the women started winning. So, no, this never was about equal chances. A lot of athletes know this. And in fact, past sex testing in sport was often opposed by the athletes - partly because it was demeaning, and partly because it often caused sexual violence against the female athletes. But we all know that TERFs clearly prefer adult cis men to look into the panties of primary school kids, to even so much as a pre-pubescent child being "subjected" to the horror of having to do sports with a trans kid. /hj
This obviously is all bullshit either way, given that studies so far show, that after 3 to 5 years of HRT the performance of athletes normalizes to the one typically associated with their gender, often faster for trans men. And this is while there is actual proper scientific doubt towards the common narrative, that the main predictor of sport performance is testosterone.
In Conclusion
TERFs and anyone who wants to uphold the gender binary and pushes for the narrative that helps to uphold the patriarchy. They are in fact the staunches defenders of both the patriarchy and the so claimed rape culture, by further spreading the same narratives that help to uphold those. Most noteably TERFs most strongly align in their believes about sex and gender with far-right groups - groups that generally are well known for their suppression of women. This does show, too, in the political allies that TERFs tend to choose: religious, conservative, if not outright nazi-aligned groups.
Do I think this wall of text is going to change anyone's personal beliefs? No. Because bigots tend to be immune to facts, science and statistics. Otherwise they would not be bigots to begin with. But at the very least I hope that maybe I have provided a handy list of sources for the next time any of you see some bullshit TERF talking points.

Tumblr media
So like how long were you Ward readers sitting and watching my liveblog waiting for me to get here?
Not quite at the end of Arc 10 (will follow up with those thoughts in a reblog probably) but thoughts so far + a bonus below:
Bonus: Cuff with her regular / Worm hair color
Tumblr media
Arc 10 (Part 1 - 10.1 - 10.11)
Carol really coming back to try and reclaim the “Most Hateable Ward Character” throne. Hard Boil has made a pretty secure hold on that spot, but Carol is really, really trying here.
(10.1) “Mom the fuck up!” LETS GO SVETA 🗣️ TALK THAT SHIT
Liking how Ward keeps up the slower slice of life moments Worm had early on but kinda dropped after Leviathan (even if pacing at times does feel a bit weird). Sveta and Victoria’s day at the mall was a nice breather and developing her plotline
It’s feeling like Sveta’s the next focus now that Rain, Ashley, Kenzie, and Capricorn have had their moments and Chris has left the team. That could be good, but then considering how the interludes of the rest have gone, could be sad
Kenzie had a crush on Chris? 🥺
Doodle Idea: Chicken Little staring into the camera with a fisheye lens effect
Undersiders are back again! And Imp lost an arm maybe?
March time? And she’s working with the hate crime cape? Damn maybe she isn’t as cool as I thought
And Faultline Crew’s back! Brockton Bay reunion
Tattletale borrowing Coil’s strategy of “leaking key info to sabotage the enemy”, now let’s see if it pays off better than it did against the E88
(10.6) Rain. Phrasing 😭. The rest of Breakthrough just going 🤨🤨🤨 killed me
Not Swansong scheduling Kenzie’s playdate she really is becoming her new mom
Sveta dysphoria :(
Was confused by the surprisingly intricate animated telenovela descriptions until I realized it was Kenzie making an auto rotoscope animation camera. Its on the smaller side of ridiculous cameras she’s made but still damn she is creative
Sidepiece and Disjoint almost sabotaging Breakthrough by making them look like freaks watching the video in public
Never ask anti-parahuman movements who they hire as muscle
(10.8) Victoria’s perspective on the Undersiders’ territories is interesting. Wonder what she thought of Skitter’s territory, which to my memory was relatively crimeless and provided for the community
(10.X) “Rex. Rex dead.” Why’d you do that power :(
(10.X) Golem Mention‼️ Nice to see he’s still active. Wonder if any of the others still are
(10.10) ^ Clueless
Poor Chicken Little, it’s like if Taylor joined the Undersiders with like 10 Alecs and Imps. He gets along better with them at least.
(10.X) I still got Monster and No Longer You to finish (they’re like in different states of completion atm)… but Chicken Little kinda has enough Telemachus energy that a follow up to We’ll be Fine might be put in the queue
(10.10) Oh hey its more Brockton Bay Reunions. Hi Weld Hi Laserdream Hi Vista Hi- GOLEM AND CUFF???
They’re still together, kicking warlords’ asses (as Weaver’s bootcamp taught them), Golem seems to be doing better and more comfortable with himself. Chicago Wards stay winning (except Wanton in the nebulous “maybe died onscreen” realm)
(10.10) Victoria and Sveta are Chicago Wards fans too, instantly elevating them in my internal ranking of Breakthrough (they were already at the top)
Everyone else outside of the Undersiders daring not to mention Taylor’s name after GM and then there’s Cuff who’s just “Ugh, Weaver.” It’s funny and also kinda fits with that fic I’m writing (also poor girl is never living the New Delhi V incident down lmao)
(10.10) TECTON MENTION‼️ Hoping he’s alive and still in the cape scene since the way Cuff said it feels a bit ambiguous. Same for Grace and Romp (thinking about it the latter could’ve maybe gotten along with the Major Malfunctions pretty nicely)
(10.10) Theo being the one to tell Victoria it was good she punched Nazis is great even without my bias. Helped him get a wakeup call kinda like Rain had without needing something like the mall incident
(10.10) Nice little coincidental cameo before we move on- THEYRE STILL HERE? I don’t dare get my hopes up past this arc but I am being fed
Dear god who invited the S9 crime scenes to the reunion too that is horrifying
(10.11) Ok they’ve been really mysterious about their new system for holding dangerous criminals. Like it seems bad enough Tattletale specifically wants a pass from it for her people, and even the heroes seem either in the dark on the details or iffy about them. Like what, are they dropping them to Earth Zayin?

in regards to my latest reblog, it's not just that "brazil court asked elon to do something about the hate crimes on twitter and he refused"
it's that brazil court, and brazilian twitter headwaurters? or somethihng? were suspending accounts who were spreading hate and electoral campaing fake news and etc. But elon was like nooo free speech. and Un-suspended the neo-nazis that we had banned.
and the court was like you can't do that, and thats mostly how the situation started.
It was elon who did the first shitty move, at no point did brazil court reach out to him first, as far as i recall

My final thoughts
I discovered a webcomic named Sparklecare Hospital back in 2021 and it got me intrigued to the point of using my Tumblr blog more often and drawing fan arts more often. I hanged out with my friends who has the same interests as I have and we talked each other about the plot and our AUs. I was so hyped about volume 3 and all that stuff.
During 2024-2025, I was so defensive on Kittycorn after seeing all the "hate" (Which turned out to be true today) and it got me to the point that I left the Sparklecare fandom by the last January due to the mental toll on some shit. I talked about the comic in private including my AUs until now. However, something has changed that I regret defending her and consuming her content at all.
People at @anonymous-sparklecarer made a doc (TW // Incest undertones) about her and I am absolutely disgusted by how awful she was doing behind the scenes. She is using incest undertones to one of her webcomics, primarily Cometcare and other projects and the worst part is that she had drawn two comics about Sly and Eve in incestuous and pedophilia moments. Considering the comic was previously marked as 16+ and now 18+, she lied to the audience including minors claiming it is a safe space, she lied about her being an anti-proship, she even lied about being not comfortable with anything disturbing. YET she even did it out of her hypocrisy. The real reason why Cometcare was created in the first place was due to her expressions of incest, the same AU that was made to the public.
As for her response, it is very vague. Just because it is a coping mechanism doesn't mean it is unhealthy and she made it to the public without letting the audience knew behind the scenes aside from the former ZCP. I cannot describe how bad she handled through that one of her ex-boyfriend ( @sparkleobserver ) made a post (TW // Zoophilia, necrophilia, nazi) about her in in-depth.
To almost all ZCP members (Except Imani and Emsody) who worked on a webcomic for 7 years (2017-2024), I am sorry to all of you who were unaware of this situation without getting silenced. I am glad you all spoke up against her behavior after getting traction.
To Kittycorn, I really hate you. You've made me joy so much that I wanted to appreciate you as a person and now you throw everything away just for your nasty projects. You lied about every single thing to please your audience. You made incest webcomics about Sly and Eve and you made multiple hints to a public AU like Cometcare. I hope you get serious help to reflect your actions and once you've successfully made it to the therapy, you should get off the internet and never come back.
To everyone involved making the doc and the Sparklecrits, I must thank you to expose all of her behavior and her disgusting actions that were hidden to us. Blind is a hell of a drug if you weren't aware of. The future of Sparklecare Hospital looks bleak so people are either reclaiming her OCs or leaking her hidden projects for the good cause.
In addition to this, I have private all of my Sparklecare fanarts (Nevermind, I gotta change my mind on this, purely on Tumblr because I saw perfect patient so just fuck it, I don't care. Here it is.) and I wish to never consume any of Kittycorn's content ever again. Like I said, thank you for making this doc possible. I wish anyone to share my thoughts by reblogging.

Why did you reblog art from an admitted Nazi?
Let's pay attention to the very statement of the question - the victim of Internet bullying is immediately defined as an “admitted Nazi”. Of course, those who read this statement are supposed to forget that the harassment started because of a single drawing with vampires and a horned skull. In this case, a method often used by political activists and known as the method of “absolute obviousness” is used. The essence of the method is that instead of any evidence, the point of view, in which it is necessary to convince the public, is presented as something self-evident. If there are a sufficient number of people repeating the same thing (we add the method of repetition, which involves endless repetition of the same idea), then activists (or bullies) can get the desired effect.
Why in the world of Faerûn there is no separation by skin color within the race “humans”, but only separation into really different races (elves, humans, tieflings and others) is lore DnD, I already wrote about it in my previous reblog.
Just like why an Astarion fan might dislike the Wyll character because of his personality and behavior, if the antagonist is portrayed as dark-skinned, does that mean the antagonist is automatically untouchable? And speaking of racial diversity, the only prominent asian feature character in game (he definitely has an east asian face) is guess who? Sadistic Cazador. Neither our group has a companion with Asian traits, nor anywhere else in the game can we find an Asian character playing a significant role in the story that we can sympathize with. This causes no problems for racial equality advocates, but if you kill off Wyll… That's it, you're a racist. I like Sosiel in the Pathfinder game (dark-skinned homosexual male and a nice person) and dislike Wyll in BG3, it's probably because I'm “racist”. I also can't stand Jaheira, but I hope it's okay to give her to Sarevok, she's white, right?
Wyll says in Act 3, “Ugh, how bad is it to have one spawn in camp, and now more show up?” - when the other spawns try to kidnap Astarion, quite the racist line. I didn't want to write about this before, since the topic of Nazism is constantly exploited by whomever can and devalued accordingly, but in the game and in the fandom I sometimes felt like I was in love with a Jew during the Third Reich because of the way Astarion is treated by the “good” companions and generally all sorts of “paladins” and apologists for “good” because he's a vampire spawn and “evil”. Nazis, as we remember very well, also considered themselves and presented themselves as “good” (“Gott mit uns” on the buckles of Wehrmacht troops, what are not “paladins”?). I want to be Blazkowicz (Wolfenstein) and burn out this “good”, and I satisfy this desire by preferring the “path of evil” in BG3.
Bitchy Karens with misandry can satisfy their sadistic tendencies all they want, enjoying abusing a survivor and making memes on their reddit where they talk about how good and right it is to “kick him in the balls” and this abomination is in the game, it was added by Larian themselves, catering to the audience of abusers, while the regular players have their roleplaying cut down. You can kneel a former slave in the “evil” ending, and those who sexualize such “opportunities” will calmly admit to ascending Astarion just for the sake of it. But painting a horned skull is a crime for a reason. Because Astarion is white? I should have written Larian to EA and asked them to make Astarion dark-skinned, I wouldn't mind having such a “trump card up my sleeve” to protect my favorite character.
The attack on the artist is done intentionally - the comparison is made artificially, based on mental gymnastics, then some of the bullers start to inflate it and play on emotions, some of them are simpler - they just write “Nazi, racist” to create a “mass”. The victim was an artist who drew two vampires with a horned skull. She had to shut down all social media due to bullying at X. Unfortunately, I don't have an account at X as I just don't have time to follow many social media sites, but I do know a little bit of history.
Why did I reblog an artist who was a victim of bullying? BECAUSE.

Propaganda
Eleanor Parker (Scaramouche, The Sound of Music)— Eulogized as a ravishing beauty whose looks were merely ornamental to her craft, feast your eyes on Eleanor Parker. Listen! I know you're thinking of the Baroness in Sound of Music and saying NO I won't protect the woman who tried to steal him from Maria but forget about that (like you personally wouldn't shoot your shot with Plummer)! The trailer for Scaramouche describes her character Lenore as "The glamourous queen of the nightlife of Paris. A flame-haired wildcat" and this is a woman who was able to pull off that role, and you get the vibe she was like that irl too. There's a story about her changing hair colors that never fails to make me laugh. Take note of her stunning eyes! Her amazing legs! And to see her in motion is to make note of the aura about her, she has an amazing presence. Fall in love with Eleanor Parker today, and make your vote count!
Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady, Sabrina, Roman Holiday)—Growing up, Audrey Hepburn desperately wanting to be a professional ballerina, but she was starved during WWII and couldn't pursue her dream due to the effects of malnourishment. After she was cast in Roman Holiday, she skyrocketed to fame, and appeared in classics like My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's. She's gorgeous, and mixes humor and class in all of her performances. After the majority of her acting career came to close, she became a UNICEF ambassador.
This is round 3 of the tournament. (yes I know it says round 2 in the poll. sometimes I post these when I’m sleepy.) All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Eleanor Parker:
Tumblr media
“When I’m spotted somewhere, it means that my characterizations haven’t covered up Eleanor Parker the person. I prefer it the other way around.” So shy she was actively nervous about winning awards in person, her personal life remains mostly behind the scenes. But on screen? she was a force majeure. It's a shame the role most people remember her in is the Baroness in The Sound of Music, but then again, it did make Christopher Plummer reminisce upon her passing “I was sure she was enchanted and would live forever.”
Tumblr media
Listen we all know Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews had insane chemistry but the Baroness deserves some love too! She has such a glamorous presence but not in a hard way
Tumblr media
She will be known as the fabulous baroness in TSOM, but she was so much more than that. Just as comfortable in westerns or melodrama, the scheming other woman, and the beauty that wins the heart of every man in town.
Tumblr media
Audrey Hepburn propaganda:
Tumblr media
"She may be a wispy, thin little thing, but when you see that girl, you know you're really in the presence of something. In that league there's only ever been Garbo, and the other Hepburn, and maybe Bergman. It's a rare quality, but boy, do you know when you've found it." - Billy Wilder
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Raised money for the resistance in nazi occupied Hungary. Became a humanitarian after retiring. Two very sexy things to do!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
where to begin......... i wont her so bad. i literally dont know what to say.
My dude. The big doe eyes, the cheekbones, the voice. The flawless way she carried herself. She was never in a movie where she wasn't drop dead gorgeous. Oh, also the fact she raised funds against the Nazis doing BALLET and she won the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her humanitarian work.
Tumblr media
"It’s as if she dropped out of the sky into the ’50s, half wood-nymph, half princess, and then disappeared in her golden coach, wearing her glass slippers and leaving no footprints." - Molly Haskell
"All I want for Christmas is to make another movie with Audrey Hepburn." - Cary Grant
Tumblr media
64.media.tumblr.com
I know people nowadays are probably sick of seeing her with all the beauty and fashion merch around that depicts her and/or Marilyn Monroe but she is considered a classic Hollywood beauty for a reason. Ironically in her day she was more of the alternative beauty when compared to many of her contemporaries. She always came off with such elegance and grace, and she was so charming. Apparently she was a delight to work with considering how many of her co-stars had wonderful things to say about her. Outside of her beauty and acting ability she was immensely kind. She helped raise funds for the Dutch resistance during WWII by putting on underground dance performances as well as volunteering at hospitals and other small things to help the resistance. During her Hollywood career and later years she worked with UNICEF a lot. Just an all around beautiful person both inside and out.
youtube
No one could wear clothes in this era like she could. She was every major designer's favorite star and as such her films are time capsules of high fashion at the time. But beyond that, she had such an elegance in her screen presence that belied a broad range of ability. From a naive princess, to a confused widow, to a loving and mischievous daughter, she could play it all.
Tumblr media
Look at that woman's neck. Don't you want to bite it?

This is a multi-part post. Recently some guy criticized one of my reblogs and in rare form I actually typed up a response but before I could that Tumblr account was apparently deleted so the comment and post lost forever. Well, turns out I took a screenshot so since I took the time to retort I might as well share it and make an example out of him so here we go…
1st off, a few small things I don’t have the time to research every single thing, event or whatever. People who got rich in the 20th century are not “old money”. I don't care to know but Trump and Musk are probably only 2nd generation wealthy, one thing for sure is they are not elites and certainly not cabal members. In the age of false accusations and going after political opponents with the entire mainstream media in tow, so called convictions mean nothing. Let’s say Trump did rape someone though … there are far more criminals in or aligned with the democratic party including sex predators and pedophiles, along with the elites who’ve been raping and sacrificing children for decades if not centuries so GTFOH! Democrats and the left do nothing but project, accusing others of what they are guilty for, a tactic straight out of the Marxist and Nazi playbooks. I’m pretty sure they admitted seeking to tie him up and drain his finances in attempt to keep him from getting back in the white house.
Now let’s address the main topic, the long history of US democrat racism which is very well documented so therefore not propaganda or “far right” because the real truth has no agenda and how they’ll destroy anything from the environment to an entire nation in pursuit of the continued subjugation of my people and others they hate. That said I’ve criticized republicans too because so many of them are cowards, esp. since the so called compromise of 1877.
Black women are the reason 90% of us vote democrat, because they are financial sellouts aiding in our own oppression and genocide, they are a joke. This is why black men more or less spearhead the red pill movement, we were the first to get fucked over by feminism and gynocentrism, so much so that it gave rise to IBMOR – introspective black men of reform as well as SYSBM – save yourselves black men. I’ve dealt with it and have heard accounts of several others, virtually all attempts to educate them are futile, it’s like talking to a wall. Aside from the desire for “free” resources and mental slavery, they are just simply too emotional to accept reality. Moving on… Nothing brings out emotionally driven leftists or whatever the fuck like a black person, esp. a man, reminding others he is not a US democrat supporter. The US republican party was established to stop slavery and other democrat violations of human rights, terrorism. Almost immediately after the civil war they were helping blacks become congressman and representatives. Decades would pass before any democrats did. It doesn’t matter what faults republicans have or how cowardly they have become more or less since the 1877 compromise, democrats have always hated blacks. Founded to defend, expand slavery Created the Confederacy, started a civil war Refused to attend Lincoln’s inauguration for the “radical” idea of freeing the slaves and ultimately shot him in the head over it Rapes, beatings, lynchings Circumcising male slaves to “prevent them from raping white women” Not only were white women raping black slaves, some white male slave owners (again, all democrats) were also raping them in the open as a form of humiliation and dominance. The practice was called breaking the buck or something like that Created the KKK While the KKK lynching blacks is pretty well known, most don’t know that at least 1,300 white republicans were also lynched by them roughly between 1880 and 1970 for helping blacks to do things like get a proper education, register to vote The KKK also in turn assisting with the Negro Project which would become Planned Parenthood, designed to target blacks and other “undesirables” for genocide through abortion, yet again with black women being willing participants because feminism and hypergamy Jim Crow, segregation LBJ – “I’ll have those niggas voting democrat for 200 years” The above corrected on 2-6-2025 Thanks for pointing out my typo @mtnman451 I knew it was LBJ, have no idea why I put FDR up there haha but I've now corrected it. Getting us hooked on crack and other hard drugs The welfare state to financially enslave the black community and destroy the family unit, along with abortion having black women being complicit in it The above leading to black children, esp. boys, having the highest abuse rates Poverty and crime skyrocketing as well Mental health issues and suicide rates too Other financial policies meant to keep blacks poor and living in ghettos Democrats aligned with muslims, the only ones still enslaving Africans today which liberals never talk about Saying we’re too stupid to get an ID Calling us Uncle Tom’s and the likes for not supporting the actual party of slavery, a shaming tactic trying to get us back on the mental plantation Biden was against integration of schools and sponsored legislation that led to the mass incarceration of blacks He also sought to prevent blacks from getting high level positions in the government, particularly if they were republican Having the audacity to say if we don’t vote for him then we ain’t black Real quick side note, before covid hit Trump’s policies led to record setting economic achievements for blacks – the greatest combined wealth and lowest unemployment rates on record ��� but of course the democrats just couldn’t have that in addition to canceling the legacy of successful black people in the past This is just for African Americans

I don't want to see any of you usamericans talk about "punching nazis" ever again. I don't want to hear yall pat each other on the back and say shit like "If I had been alive during the holocaust I would have done something about it", or any other white savior shit like that.
You don't care about jews, you didn't care about them back then, just as you don't care about palestinians now. Yall repeat and repeat "the holocaust was terrible, we should condemn it", not because you care, but because it lifts yourselves up. Because it's the only war that the US won where they just happened to be on "the good side", so it portrays you as heroes, warriors of justice, which happens to be excelent propaganda material, so you exploit it. You make memorials, you make films, hundreds of them, fetishizing the jewish suffering and portraying yourselves as the force of good that saved them all. Meanwhile, dozens of other genocides - many of them even bigger and bloddier than the holocaust - happen around the world, many of them endorsed or supported by your government. But yall don't care. It's not the holocaust. You're not the good guys in this one so why bother making a movie, why pay atention to it at all? It's hard to keep track of everything happening in the world, it has nothing to do with you. So you just keep scrolling your socials paying no mind to whatever fucked up shit is happening out there, until you run into some fucker from the global south posting something mildly critical of israel, or about how the United States shamelessly exploits jewish history for the sake of warfare, or how victim mentality is a dangerous thing for a marginalized group to hold on to, and you get furious. How dare they say things that don't align with the narrative I've been fed my whole life?? They are anti-semitic!! They hate jews!! They are nazis!! And you tell them so, you put them in their place, because you are a democrat and a good guy and you won't tolerate nazis. And then you reblog "support our troops" posts and write letters to your president begging him to bomb brown people on the other side of the planet because they are terrorists, I think. And I'm here to tell you that you are not the good guy, you are not a hero. You are a victim of indoctrination and an idiot, and your domestic white politics mean absolutely nothing to the rest of the world.
Yes, I did watch Schindler's list. No, I don't hate jewish people. Yes, I'll aggresively condemn Israel's actions and anyone blind enough to say that one genocide justifies another, and I will always support palestinian people. And if you happen to be a jewish person that has somehow found themselves in the center of a conversation that isn't even about you, and getting negative attention you don't deserve, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that no matter what you do or where you live, you keep being used as a scapegoat and your life and history exploited for colonialist propaganda, your heritage is worth more than that.
So keep calling yourselves the good guys, keep pulling the anti-semite card or the "Palestine is homophobic" argument. Keep playing your white politics in your white country that you stole from non-white people. The rest of the world is watching you and history will remember you as what you are and always have been; fucking colonizers.

OK that's it I'm making a post about this-
To all those who think the thirteenth doctor is not a good doctor i have some points I want to say to counter.
I'll get this out if the way first if any of yall try to put down Jodie- get the fuck off of my post and account. She did the best with what she got.
Moving on, the few episodes I see people talking about as proof of her being bad are the spydoc p2, kerblam, and Rosa parks episodes.
Now don't get me wrong I definitely see why people get upset at these episodes.
Let's start with the spydoc episode, the doctor left the master, who is a person of color with the Nazi's. HE WAS THE ONE TO SIDE WITH THEM IN THE FIRST POINT. some of yall are acting like this isn't the MASTER, out of anyone you should know he would have taken something like this into account.
He was literally playing with fire, even the doctor mentioned how he doesn't usually hang around that type of crowd. In her defense she was also in a actual time crunch as well. she does not under estimate the master and had to get things rolling.
Kerblam episode.
In this specific circumstance the system WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. Someone was actively ABUSEING THE SYSTEM. In that matter it honestly was not the problem, hell it was even the thing to send out and ask for help.
twelfth doctor was the doctor to point out how bad capitalism is: " that human progress is measured by the value placed on a life, especially an unimportant or unprivileged life". The system in question was reaching out for help because it valued the lives that were being killed in its warehouse.
Sure its a kick in the gut because the villain is a image of gen z. Especially with the job market for the younger generation. but truthfully i'm from this generation and? we are so fucking mean at sometimes.
I have seen my teachers quit their jobs because of us, we are human we are fallible. In that episode a younger person was abusing the system. It happens today as well.
Rosa Parks.
For a lot of people this is a sensitive episode/topic. So i wont go to far into detail as i'm not the absolute best person.
The doctor did not put down rosa parks, she was even in awe about Rosa. But the episode is literally about how someone was trying to change history. So they had to stage the exact circumstances that got Rosa parks arrested. its even shown to be emotional and honestly? i teared up at the scene because it hurts to watch someone be discriminated against. But it had to be done.
I thought about this while rewatching thin ice. The doctor punched that racist because the guy was unimportant in the long run. He was able to punch him- and rightfully so imo. But with Rosa the timeline was at stake, so the doctor couldn't do anything like that but was able to recognize how wrong everything that was going on was.
one things all of these have in common are the politics behind them for us. Is our real world system corrupt? Most definitely i will not say that it isn't as that is ignorant. We have a real problem with racism in our world that i hope will one day not be as big of a problem.
But isn't that what doctor who is about? Politics and showing sides to our society and making us ask questions. That's what makes doctor who one of the greatest shows personally.
Anyways, this is all rushed. But i just wanted to say my piece and please, if anyone sees this and wants to talk about it. even if you don't agree with me. reblog or reply, i want to see all sides. I'm getting really pissed at people who will not even attempt to see the other side, even if you share my views^

I’m just gonna jump straight into this.
So me and @drivinmyrazorcola were talking and they showed me a picture of what i think are semi-canon human designs of a couple transformers for TFA/Transformers Animated, cool right?
Yeah I thought so as well, like yeah they did make Starscream look stupid as hell but hey! It fits him.
Well I recently came back to this post and noticed after @drivinmyrazorcola had pointed out blitzwing’s design kinda looked like a nazi, so I think, yeah sure it does, but then I look again and.. yeah he does..
Side by side:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like dude.. The over just style of the clothes, the boots, the deception logo on the side, the shoulder things.
While, it could very well be a coincidence that they made blitzwing have blond hair and blue eyes, with the amount of similarities between his clothes and Nazi clothes, it feels like they intentionally made him the ‘ideal Nazi’.
(Incase you don’t know, IIRC, Hitler and the Nazi party wanted to more or less select people with certain traits they wanted such as blonde hair blue eyes like mentioned above to only have kids)
Thanks @drivinmyrazorcola for writing that part :3
And with the fact that bro had a German accent like..
I feel like I’d see him in a history lesson about ww2 Germany 😭🙏
Also keep in mind, this show was made in 2007 WHICH MEANS IT WASN’T SOMETHING MADE TO POKE FUN AT NAZI’S! THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!
Please spread this by liking, Reblogging or doing both, this NEEDS to be brought up and spread.
Also here’s the OG image, has the artists name

The Critical Community Callout Post
Fuck it, I am done gonna release and tell you who I am vaguing about. Let's start by saying please do NOT send any hate to anyone, I am simply gonna make this clear.
This community cannot handle one week without having a singular issue at all, either it's Cherry, RaySquid or Chai it's some people who cannot handle the block/mute feature and go straight to making a hitpeice.
ChaiFootsteps Derangement Syndrome
There's been countless callout posts from people, and it's ALWAYS leads back to Chai as if HE's the issue, there's been misinformation being spread and most of it you're getting from is you guessed it Dani and the Hazbin Stan Community.
They find a way to link anything shitty as it being Chai's fault. Have we really went too far in hubris? Look, I hate proshippers but there's been misinformation done OVER AND OVER to the point people who accused Chai did NOT ever FUCKING update it, when they are made aware instead they ignore people.
This is prime example of not listening at all lmfaooo.
Let me tell you something Chai isn't the boogeyman you all think he is, he's NOT involved in ANYTHING that ANYONE does, people just have borderline issues and they project these issues onto others. For clarity on this, here's what Chai said.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So even when he EXPLAINS you properly didn't acknowledge it? Yeah I find it hard to believe.
This is proof when you cry for "CHAI PLEASE ADDRESS THIS!!111!!" you finally get it and it's "NOT ENOUGGGGH!" NEVER CHANGE CRITICAL COMMUNITY THIS MILK IS DELICIOUS.
My Bridge Incident
Alright here we go, about yesterday. I receieved varying asks about the Limus situation.
I also suppose it's this.
Tumblr media
But context clues, Retard means STUPID, are we forgetting it means stupid? I mean harsh yes, but that's how I am.
Tumblr media
The issue was, and I quote, I said a offensive word.
Oh geez. Let's see what it means.
Tumblr media
It's considered offensive now because people find it offensive 10 years ago we didn't.
Tumblr media
Usually it's used for people with autism you KNOW the MENTAL ILLNESS I HAVE? Lol. LMAO EVEN.
Everyone whose a seasoned OrionBug OG knows I had an abusive stepdad, he used that word to insult me ALOT, I use the word in my vernacular to reclaim it. In order to actually feel better about myself. Empowering moment, to take back control.
But for some reason all is ignored when people find it offensive on behalf of others, and it's all there is to it.
Critical Bug's (totally hit)hitpeice on me.
Y'all don't send hate bruv bc nah this isn't what we're doing, so for starters this person, who was one of my mutuals decided to make a post crying about what I said to them after instead of taking it to DMs like a normal person did it on Anon.
Now, listen. If you have an issue, I can open up a discussion in the DMs or my server (Link below) but this person did not, they instead made a post meant to Slander and diss me. I know it was directed at me, because this the post lol.
Tumblr media
Yes, they are complaining about someone who is also having the same problems as them using it.
Before you wonder, "how do you know is it them saying it towards you?"
Tumblr media
I simply have a right to say this, and like I said before I am literally within my rights to say it, oh whats this there's comments too?
BAWWWING COMMENTS.
Tumblr media
Using disability to say a slur is not nice
>this community engages in using queer which is also a slur.
Funny oh whose is this on top? Oh it's our good friend Quackerzzz the person behind CharlieCritques and the ONE person who had an issue with my Viv Neo Nazi Callout.
Tumblr media
I'm certain they were this comment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because this community has issues with parsing text the hate I got for allegations that are NOT solid proof I had to turn off reblogs, and I will be turning off replies for mutuals. And Anon asks.
Now, let's see what else we have here.
Tumblr media
Oh.
Oh My Fuck.
ImpperfectCritique's Obsession with Chai.
There's been issues with people a-logging the hell out of Chai and the biggest besides RaySquid is ImpperfectCritique's while they make good fanart they have actively made their content digging and ragging on Chai who btb had enough time to call out Chai but didn't have enough time to apparently tell someone Chai is going by he'/him. Yeah, when I called out the issue beforehand they claimed they didn't know but considering you called them out and took the time to actively call out Chai and presumably research into Chai's history.
Yeah don't buy it.
Tumblr media
If this is in reference to me, then I don't really know what to say, I discourage people doing these, I use my own reclaimed slurs to empower myself as a being.
It's the R Slur that's got people crying not the fact I said Nigga a slur I can say, goes to show they are afraid to say "erm don't say that," yea advocating for less slur usage because retard affects my sensibilities and I must have a space dedicated to my 1394232043290342 problems to a show and fanbase who ARE NOTHING LIKE ME GUISE.
Striking Similarities to the VivziePop Fandom.
Okay, so I'm gonna be blunt and honest, you guys are nothing better then Dani and the others. You dedicate your time and effort to crying about slur usage and doing borderline coordinated attacks over something that easily is solved by DMs, I made this to call everyone out because my boundaries were VIOLATED.
People disrespected my boundaries, I take it you want infighting.
"No, no we don't want--"
Bull.
shit.
You were given SEVERAL times and CHANCES to fucking solve this.
Also someone used the r slur, Impperfect where's the complaint and callout to that person?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I asked people to handle things in DMs, they did not, so I take it you want infighting.
Here's your infighting doordashed to your doorstep, free of charge, you disrupt my evening I disrupt the house of cards in this fragile little community. I'm done with society, I'm done pretending everyone in the community are innocent little beans with no problems.
You're all just as bad as Viv's Stan's if not worse. You treat this as some sort of joke, and instead of talking it out you go to make a hit piece, my life has been threatened, I've been told to end myself. I took a stand for MOST of you in this community but it goes to show that even if you stand for others, they won't stand for you.
The Final Verdict
Status of the community: Reached LolCow Status.
I notice some of you all react so badly, some of you all react so horrendously to shit Viv does, either it being tame or downright stupid, I hate the woman too, but some of you go way too far.
And when you can't find a reason to hate, you direct that hate to others in the community you are in. Not just that Chai has to be dragged in EVERY drama as if he's the puppet master. He's NOT, I have my own means my own opinions, Chai isn't a mastermind (not the Helluva Boss Episode.) believe it or NOT he doesn't know shit like this happens.
I am tired of seeing this community act like childish fools, and aim to prove and one up another because they wanna play the "I CARE ABOUT EVERYONE except this person lol." Olympics, if I am judged by my words that's shallow.
That's deeply disgusting and borderline distressing you judge based on vernacular rather than the terms and conditions of who a person is.
You are all people who do NOT actually understand the issue first and foremost, and I am done entertaining it. I do not stand the Critical Community because I own a different part of it.
People, it's not the end of the world because I a mentally sufficient retard with low IQ said so meanie words, you can utilize the red button not the button with the pencil in it.
This community is now overran by LARPING Viv Stan's and I want nothing to do with this anymore, word of advice. Any remaining people with actual braincells left? Leave. This community preaches about acceptance and understanding but when I someone within their rights are allowed to practice freedom of speech to call a drama or object the r slur it's seen as if I killed an infant.
Hypocritical Hotel Critic Community.
(replies restricted and anon asks off due to harassment from people. Congrats and have a good day everyone.)

Hi ! This is a callout post on @gloomylace also known as @clingyidol. Before I start , I hate doing these kind of things and it took me alot of effort (+ encouragement from friends ) to do this. Also please do not go and harass Lolita. Cher is a minor and I just overall do not condone harassment. I was originally going to stay quiet .
tw for , abuse , r//pe , violence suicide and more .
Before I start , “weren’t you two just friends ?” Yes but that is until this popped up in my feed. Lolita and another friend are the only two people that know about a situation that roughly happened 2 ~ ish days ago. I was insanely panicked and anxious being accused of stuff like this. I know this is Lolita on anon due to being my ONLY friend in the editblr community and the only one who knows this situation. (besides Avery, Avery isn’t on editblr or the same scenes as me) You know how deeply this affected me. So yeah kinda your fatal flaw assuming I tell my life story to more then 2 people 🤷 also STOP using fucking freyr on me. 🤍 massively appreciated. “An Ex friend” I have only one long term friend and that is Avery 🤍 I am not a fucking freak and copy people , even if I do have identity issues I know it’s weird to copy someone! This is really fucking low of you Lolita and I genuinely trusted you with information and my thoughts and feelings! But no you went behind my back for no reason. It seems like you wanted a reason to turn on me. 🤍
Tumblr media
First of all , Lolita said this ! At the time , I did not know anything about oyasumi punpun . I don’t willfully consume media with the following topics
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am massively triggered by almost ALL of those topics . I felt like I was being essentially compared to an abuser , which overall made me feel very, very icky. When confronted about this - ( as seen in the images below )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lolita ignored me . Cher has done this to another friend of cher’s , making an uncomfortable joke and then when confronted went on a dni and days later replied with something random . Lolita cannot take responsibility for cher’s actions. Che just ignores you essentially and then replies with something random! I am just sick of this behaviour and I will not be surprised if che or someone else will spread rumours about me JUST because I came out about this. I originally thought this wasn’t serious enough to be a call-out post and I felt like I was being overdramatic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these two screenshots ^ .
multiple people (including me) have had their mental health DRAINED due to your actions. You have lied multiple times. It’s also such a coincidence that hate anons seem to follow you around and when asked you blame it on your exes ? In reality you probably sent them and you sent someone into a really bad episode! You make baseless claims off of little to no proof, broke SEVERAL boundaries of one of your ex partners. You also compared one of your bfs to someone who abused you which is just! plain! fucking wrong. You claim to have high empathy / sympathy and yet when someone who is also mentally ill did not react well over small things you went to shittalk them to their boyfriend.
props to you if you defend a liar and someone who makes nazi jokes xx lying about your exes stalking and harassing you is fucking crazy! Also sent my personal messages to someone and talked shit about me so yeah !
@artistrydoll + @magnoliawriter please reblog if you see this . ^_^
