find it really interesting how the "butchfemme relationships are heteronormative" crowd are never seen advocating for more butch4butch relationships in media, its only ever said in defense of fem4fem ships... you'd almost think they just have an issue with lesbian masculinity

@the anon that came through, that I will delete for reasons but don’t want to leave the questions unanswered (feel free to dm if you’d like me to expand):

[gist of anon is: the fighter is close to home, already much of the foundational elements are present in the US with the way poor and nonwhite communities are funneled into the prison system and then used as slaves, and have i thought about it or gotten opinions of poc in the community]

Here’s the answer! I have thought in depth about the closeness of what’s going on in the story to the current US prison system and largely consider the bones of the story to be (maybe not grounded in reality exactly) not that far off from where we are now. It’s written as an expansion of what’s happening now, and I try to be cognizant of that, but it’s certainly something I’ve thought about.

I’m not sure which readers are poc, but if anyone does want to dm me to talk to me about their experiences reading the story I’d love to hear your opinions and thoughts. I think the story probably does make some people uncomfortable, and I try to tag everything accordingly. I have attempted to create a plausible future reality that clearly shows the wrongness of not only what’s happening in that future, but what’s happening now.

AU where Deku stays quirkless and he enrolls in UA's support department, he and bakugo befriend each other because they take the same train to school & Deku approaches him because they're both batfam fans :) they bond over common interest which also inspires them to work togetherrrrrr

I think a lot of alloros fundamentally misunderstand how being aro actually feels

I don’t go about my day as a hetro person who just happens to opt out of romance when it pops up

I’ve known i was different since before i even knew different was something i could be. Since i was like 12 or 13 I’ve known somehow what i was feeling was off compared to everyone around me. Growing up like that was fundamentally a queer experience for me, even if i wasn’t trans. In fact, i feel like my experiences being aro tie me closer to being queer than even my gender. While i can’t relate to everything in them, other queer coming of age stories do mirror my own aro coming of age. So to say that an aro person, regardless of their other identities, can’t be queer is just baffling to me.

i'm sorry, but the atla fandom is the only place where i've ever seen people unironically use a 12 year old telling his friend that killing someone out of grief is maybe a rash decision and not healthy to argue that that same 12 year old is being controlling and is an unhealthy partner

you guys know that murder is like....a bad thing....right? especially for a 14 year old? you guys know that revenge murder isn't a healthy strategy? you guys know that anyone who would encourage that is probably actually the unhealthy one in that scenario...right??

"Why do Asmodeus and Beelzebub get to be good people while Mammon is flat-out terrible?"

Because greed can't be good. Bottom line. You can make arguments for lust and gluttony not being inherently harmful, but not greed.

The very basis of greed is intense desire for something (not just money) with disregard for others. You can be lustful and still love (ex, feeling sexual desire for your partner). You can be gluttonous and still be responsible (ex, going out to a party on your weekend). But you cannot be greedy and care about others.

Being the embodiment of greed inherently means you cannot care about other people. That's why Ozzie and Bee get to be Ozzie and Bee. That's why Mammon will only ever be Mammon.

hot take but i think that "fictional characters are fictional and liking or disliking them have no real life effect" and "the way you treat certain characters can be an indicative of your character in real life" are statements that can and should coexist

example: character A is violent and makes misogynistic comments. they're still charismatic and their arc is interesting to read/watch. person A acknowledges that the character is bad but they still enjoy consuming content from the character and they do so unapologetically. they're allowed to like the character, especially considering that literally everyone the character has harmed is also fictional. they don't pretend the character isn't violent, or misogynistic, they just like the character despite that. they post about it constantly. this is a neutral action that shows nothing about person A.

character B is a white man that makes racist comments, treats a black person in the show badly and gains money through anti-ethical means. they're still charismatic and their arc is interesting to read/watch. person B claims the character is flawed but overall misunderstood and all their actions are entirely justified. they're allowed to like the character, especially considering that literally everyone the character has harmed is also fictional. person B claims the black character that character B treated badly either had it coming or overreacted. all of person B's favorite characters are white men. person B goes out of their way to justify that all of their favorite characters are actually misunderstood and good people, and more people should like them. this shows that person B likely has some favoritism for white men.

just. you're allowed to like fictional characters even if they're awful fucking people but. and im not sure why this is controversial. the way you interact with media says something about you. this isn't necessarily a bad thing. does this make sense please

the lesbians revelling in the opportunity to be homophobic towards a gay man because they’ve decided he’s bad are suffering from such severe levels of internet brainrot. “I don’t care if I’m being homophobic to cis gay men,” is a fucking wild statement.

you’re not “punching up” by making jokes about how you want to violently kill a gay character, you’re just an asshole, and a stupid one at that. because for whatever baffling reason you’ve decided to peddle a bunch of homophobic stereotypes.

“but tommy was a bigot! who cares?” sorry but that’s actually completely irrelevant to this conversation! there’s no goodness quota queer ppl need to meet before it becomes unacceptable to dehumanise them. that should be the bare fucking minimum.

What a great comeback! I just hope the qsmp wiki doesn’t take Cellbit accidentally calling Phil ‘dad’ as canon confirmation of- oh wait

[killerpancakeburger]

Desperate to follow more COD writers that write fluff and smut without:

- cnc

- rape (like that one text post where roomate Kyle berges in on Reader and Soap fucking, then Soap keeps going and restraints Reader whereas Reader asked him to stop...)

- stalking

-degrading

- free use

- somnophilia

- incest, etc...

Or without the TF141 men being made as perverts, kidnappers, rapists, losers.

When the writer won't even give any warning except "18+" like... thanks... this doesnt help me at all.

Or maybe tag your stuffs yall?? It takes 2 seconds.

Maybe I'll make a list of users that fits these criterias... if others are interested.

If you publish that content but tag it correctly then Im interested in following you too.

i cackled before the season came out and everyone was freaking out about the brothel scenes because they wanted demi!Colin and now the possibility was lost forever, when it was precisely the brothel scenes (+ the diary bit) which cemented demi!Colin to canon prosperity!

[cliban]

the AMOUNT of times i have seen a cool blogger today and then gone to their blog to follow them only to be confronted with an honestly weird amount of dismissal/outright hatred for trans men, transmasculine people, and/or butches is actually insane

[communist-hatsunemiku]

There is infact good reason I chose to call this blog Communist Hatsune Miku and not Anarchist Hatsune Miku

[professional-little-lark]

discourse over, if a cubito does anything don't ask yourself "is this a morally correct thing?" But ask yourself if it will push the story forward. You may dread or celebrate where the story has been pushed to but morality should not be a concern to us in this island
