#discourse is stupid

[forcemascexperiments]

trans masc tags are full of discourse like come on I just wanted to look at some dudes ._.

hello systemblr blog. before you is a post about a system sharing their experiences and asking for help and resources. it makes no mention of endos or endo discourse in any way, and the op has not shared their stance. your challenge is to not bring up endos or start discoursing about endos in any way. if you fail your phone/computer will burst into flames.

Pal world, because I was craving a game where I could try to survive with my husband, but I don't like dinosaurs, don't have 60GB of space lying around, and don't have an extra 120$ to drop on a copy for each of us.

We're really enjoying ourselves, actually. It's super fun.

[dandelion-grl]

the way i have. no energy for fandom discourse anymore, like the way some of y’all are still so active in stirring up discourse over fiction for no reason should be studied i think

you know, its not true that this site is "chill" now. idk if its the twitter users coming here or if the nasties never left but i keep seeing horrible, deranged and upsetting takes on like, every topic. thinking of leaving tbh, mutuals get in touch about other socials we can reach eachother on

if you are complaining about dragon age veilguards artstyle being inconsistent with dragon age's overall artstyle then I know for a fact, that you have not played all the games. You are lying, because consistency?? in dragon age?? this is Alistar in all three games

sorry but i am SO deeply tired of the 'aphobia isnt real' arguments because they are literally always being conducted in such bad faith. NO there is not specific societal or legal discrimation against aces and aros BECAUSE we are asexual and or aromantic. you cannot hold specifically bigoted beliefs towards a group you do not even know exist. there ARE, however, underlying and deeply pervasive systems and beliefs that actively erase, dehumanise and make life tangibly more difficult for aro and ace people on a social, economic and legal basis. most of this is due to hyperinvisibility, the medicalisation of any nonnormative + misunderstood orientations, the elevation of romance + romantic structures as the most important aspects of interpersonal relationships in society, as well as the nuclear atomisation of the family. among other things. like. amatonormativity has never been ABOUT aromantic people specfically oh my GOD. its simply the underlying social belief that everyone is expected to be in monogamous romantic relationships and that those relationships are expected to the default centre of one's life. its something that affects EVERYONE! but within that it affects aromantic people in a specific and heightened way because of our inability to participate in it in a societally acceptable way. like these are not 'aromantic' or 'asexual' or 'polyamorous' issues specifically. these are theories and terms that originated within feminist + queer sociology studies! its all part of the wider underlying social fabric! aspec people are simply pointing out that we are often affected by these things in unique and often unseen ways.

the idea that we believe people actively 'hate' us for being asexual or aromantic is completely ridiculous. most people i know do not even know the definition of those words! so how could they hate me for it. they could however, for example, hold the pervasive + societally unchallenged belief that not experiencing sexual or romantic attraction is a medical issue or something concerningly abnormal in a human being + something i should get fixed. and its not uncommon that when you DO explain that its simply your orientation to them, they continue to medicalise it and see it as some sort of issue. genuinely so deeply tired of having to explain this to people time and time again when they only want to cherry pick the most ridiculous arguments to respond to and then act as if that's a majority held opinion in the aspec community. like i actually think we are aware of how society views us we're not fucking deluded and stupid. we don't have victim complexes we are just pointing out facts that yall are so desperate to ignore. UGHHHHH

some anti on tiktok: hey guys just so you know 🌺💞 is a proshit combo for mom x daughter, 🐺🍡 means adult x child and 🦷🧠 is cannibalism kink!!

other antis in the comments: omg thank you!! now i know who to block

proshippers who have never seen those combos in their lives: what

[tapetum-lucidumb]

so much gale abs discourse and not a single correct opinion. you guys, abs vs no abs vs fat gale is NOT about whether he's athletic or not. gale has abs because he's vain and insecure and wants to look pretty. one of his first cutscenes is literally him conjuring a whole ass illusion of himself just to see how his beard looks! furthermore, as a lifelong hoe i refuse to believe that a world with magic wouldn't have a magical way to get abs. and gale is very, very good at magic. send post

[bonefall]

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.

It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.

Sometimes I get messages about certain dialogue in my comics about how a character is being passive aggressive when I'm just writing them as straight forward and blunt.

idk, as an autistic person who's dealt with genuine harassment several times (including a few months ago) because his straight forward and blunt demeanor was misinterpreted as being "rude", "ungrateful" and "bitchy", its just kind of interesting seeing people interpret dialogue in a more hostile way.

it's not a complaint, i prefer those fictional interpretations over terminally online twitter users who need to be coddled over everything but it is kind of fascinating seeing how people interpret certain dialogue.

[n48]

there are still people on this website that spend hours every day arguing w people while im out here logging in once a month, posting A Zoe, getting 2 notes and dipping again lol

[v88sy]

Beeeeeeeeeecause believing that two canon queer characters who were actually in a relationship might get back together after they had an open ended and very fixable breakup where they both clearly still wanted to be together, is way more ridiculous than believing one of them will suddenly fall for his aggressively straight best friend after 6 years??

People in the transmisogyny tag stop saying trans men and nonbinary people are inherently more likely to be misogynistic than other people challenge

People in the transandrophobia tag stop saying or implying that trans women are the cause of every one of your problems, especially by saying things like "well they used to identify as boys" challenge

People in the exorsexism tag stop implying or even outright saying that society loves binary trans people challenge

Trans people venting about our oppressions stop saying that the biggest problems to said oppressions are caused by other trans people existing challenge
