#genuine discoursers dni

Alastor Shipping Discourse is so weird to me, because, on one hand, I get where people are coming from when it comes to being against shipping him.

But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure that a good percentage of the artists I follow on Insta who do ship him with other characters are some flavor of aro and/or ace.

i might get some hate for this depending on where this post goes but i think lesboys are so valid and the discourse about them is so ridiculous. like you guys shouldn't have to deal with all that and it frustrates me that people throw hissy fits over an identity that literally does not affect them at all.

"but men cant be lesbians-" wrong. butch lesbians and trans men have a really closely connected history with each other that practically intersects and you should really do some research on that before you make blanket statements, not to mention that gender and sexuality is weird and wobbly and fluid and a very personal experience. it means a different thing to each person. being a man can be something completely different and saying stuff like this ignores people like demiboys, demigirls, genderfluid and genderflux people etc. these people will really preach "demolish the gender binary!! love is love!!" until someone's relationship with gender and sexuality is a little too freaky for them to handle and be challenged by lmaoo

"ohhh but what about the cishet men who say they're lesbians to prey on women-" YEAH WHAT ABOUT THEM????? THIS AIN'T ABOUT THEM BRO!!!!! this argument also REEKS of terfy "trans women are just predatory men!!!111!!1" rhetoric and it grosses me out. yeah some men are gross and do try to pull this but that does not negate someone's entire identity completely just because of a few bad actors, you know that right? actual black and white behaviour.

queer discourse is silly and i don't know why it's a thing. just let people exist. it isn't that hard. we have worse things to worry about than whether someone calls themselves a lesboy or not. i think we need to unplug our ears and yank our heads out of the sand and remember that the queer community is what it is because of our unique and amazing diversity. arguing over labels like school children isn't gonna help that. damn.

I don’t really understand the shift the Internet has seemed to have about kink and proshipping. In the early to mid 2010’s it was common to see people defend rape kinks and “bizarre” fetishes. We had the “violence in video games” debate in the 2000’s. It seemed like we were on the same page but something changed.

Why is it we all understood the concept fine but now it’s so heavily debated? There hasn’t been a rise in sex crimes, at least not correlated to kink/proship content. What’s the deal?

[spiderworries]

so much tumblr discourse boils down to “everyone ever has to experience and see the world in the exact same way as me or they’re evil”

i'm gonna be honest gang. i think we all need to be more comfortable with the reality that sometimes people will be uncomfortable with our favourite character choices or route choices or whatever and that does not make them evil abusive fandom-policing puritans. nobody should be harassing anybody, obviously, but sometimes your shit gets to make people uncomfortable even if it's technically "meaningless" and that discomfort alone does not make them Bad or Oppressive

i grew too pissed at all the anti-MAP posts

so reminder that this blog supports MAPs (minor attracted people) !!!

Being minor-attracted does NOT mean that someone wants to sexually abuse children. Most MAPs wouldn't ever want to actually have romantic/sexual contact with a child, and they're allowed to not live in fucking shame for their THOUGHTS and FEELINGS.

attraction =/= abuse

If you're anti-MAP, please rethink your stance and consider what MAPs actually are

and if any MAPs see this, I'm wishing you a very lovely day :3

People are really out here defending Candace Owens for criticizing Israel and it is insane to me. No, criticizing Israel - particularly in this moment where Palestinians are being killed in the most brutal of ways, is not wrong. But that's not why this lady is criticizing Israel.

However, this is the same woman who said Hitler was only bad because he wanted to expand beyond Germany and who openly supported a president who campaigned on fighting "radical Islamic terror" just a few years ago. This lady is not concerned about preserving international peace or defending Palestinians or Muslims, and neither are the other conservatives who are criticizing Israel, like Tucker Carlson - who also has a history of making bigoted comments regarding Muslims and Islam.

These people are only criticizing Israel now because they recognize that there is a growing schism within American politics because of America's relationship with Israel, which has split the conservative side into two groups - conservatives who support Israel because of concerns around American national defense, religion and 'supporting Jewish people' and conservatives who don't support Israel because they associate the existence of Israel with the existence of Jewish people in general...and they really don't like Jewish people.

People like Candace Owens, and other far-right conservatives personalities speak more to that second group.

It's also a growing part of the conservative view on foreign policy to criticize any foreign aid, even despite the reasons why that foreign aid is being given, as seen with American foreign aid to Ukraine.

This is probably going to lose us followers, but being a DID System and seeing self-ship hate-and I edited this to change the name because it's awful- always puts us in such a strange position, because it's such a common part of the DID experience...

[Putting this under the cut because it's a small essay]

Because as a DID system- aka alters that may identify differently but are still different parts of the same overall person- with multiple alters in relationships metaphysically, aware that alters in relationships is a common and healing situation, I often wonder whether people would look at us like we're a problem.

I understand the actual situation of why physical procreation with a clone would be Very Bad Actually. Obviously. But if you take out the idea of having kids, it's all just... A romantic (edit: i've had to add romanctic because I think some people were misconstruing this?) form of self-love, in a way that you can love yourself without loving your own self, and often leads to learning how to love your own self via that.

The Kensingtons in our system, for instance, are (Bioshock infinite spoilers) Lutece-esque in the way that they are just two facets of the same person, visually and mentally (albeit mental opposites to balance eachother out). I, Atticus, am in a relationship with our introject of Joy. And it's wonderful and loving and has been incredible for my concept of self-worth. Hell- the Sinclairs are happily married inner world, and they are incredible for eachother. They're a force to be reckoned with and we admire that.

It definitely... makes us feel more distanced from people in fandoms where that discourse is higher. Because it feels like we could get 'cancelled' at any moment for talking about something that is so normal and non-problematic to the DID experience, and for seeing the worth in ships that are very relatable to that experience.

It's hard to expect singlets to relate to system experiences, but the fact I'm expecting to get anon hate from even posting our personal life experiences regarding the situation says a lot.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL the discourse on my dash is fucking ridiculous. maybe it's not *ableist* per se, but it's pretty fucking rude to put an entire ass introject or someone's name or basically someone's harmless existence on your DNI. you're just literally telling people 'your existence to me is upsetting, go away'. like man that's not how you create a space that is welcoming to all, that's how you create a restrictive space with an 8 mile long blacklist that nobody can accommodate or remember properly, leading to moderation issues and unnecessary community drama. trust me, i have been in these spaces before.

sometimes there are triggers that cannot be accommodated for because they are too restrictive to the rest of the community and that's fine. it's not your fault for having triggers but it's also not the fault of the community if they cannot accommodate for this trigger because it's too common/too restrictive/a person's name/difficult to remember/a body type/etc. not every trigger can be accommodated. sweeping general ones and topics that are generally triggering for everyone, yes, those can likely be accommodated.

but highly specific and restrictive triggers and especially ones that actively target specific (kinds of) people cannot be expected to be accommodated reasonably.

telling someone to change their name for your comfort, especially a stranger, is ridiculous.

telling someone to not exist in the way that they want to around you for your comfort, especially a stranger, is ridiculous.

telling someone to change or hide their existence for you is in general ridiculous, and just because it's a trigger doesn't make it reasonable or helpful for everyone to accommodate.

your triggers are valid but speaking as someone with triggers that are unreasonable to accommodate, sometimes your triggers really are just a you problem that you've got to handle on your own with your own coping mechanisms.

[ace-robot-has-matcha]

Dni lists for fandoms make no sense to me. You’re telling me that you actively have so much hate for some random media that you couldn’t stand to be in the same room (social media space) as someone who enjoys it? You’re telling me that you couldn’t get over someone liking something you don’t like? You’re telling me that if you met a fan of something you hate, you couldn’t accept each others differences and just find something you collectively like? Or is the Hazbin Hotel fan so tainted by their obsession that they aren’t worth even speaking to. Maybe I’m missing something but I find it very immature and completely unnecessary. Just block the tags lmao.

imagine telling someone theyre unliked while being a 22 year old with a DNI page who complains about proshippers do you not have a job or something more viable than your anime yaoi fixations

Me when I don't know who I'm sending an ask to.

One particular facet of zionists-- especially online, especially on tumblr dot com-- that is so grating is that they are so incredibly self-absorbed. Condemning a war crime? Must be about us, genocide defense time! Talking a out capitalism? Well the term "they" was used so it must be referring to an antisemitic dog whistle, genocide defense time!

They simply cannot fathom the greater legacy of western settler-colonialism that isntreal is only one piece of, and they weaponize their willful ignorance & squint for antisemitism that doesn't exist in order to (actual antisemiticly!) equate Judaism with zionism to justify continued genocide & ecocide. Being called a nazi by someone asserting that blood libel about jewish people is true is incredibly fucking rich!
