hey i'm sorry for the intrusion but i saw you rbed this post abt toonimal kamariya/755417844563460096 and i just wanted to give you a heads up, the "toonimal callout" was specifically abt him running a "pedophile liberation" site that welcomes minors and adults. it wasn't just targeting him for being trans, a lot of the people speaking out abt it are trans, as are some of the victims on the site. efsp/738237205819146240 and like there's definitely still issues with how people responded, esp w how the victims were often included in posts as well, and there's still plenty of fair criticisms abt the right way to handle someone doing harm, but also there's been this push to frame the situation as if he was just targeted for being trans and didn't do anything, and that's definitely not the case. ofc not accusing you of supporting his actions i just saw you had radqueers dni in your pinned and that's like, exactly how he branded himself, so i figured you'd never heard of him before

you don't have to apologise. and i understand where you're coming from. idk what the OP of the post meant specifically, so sorry in advance if they meant something else entirely, but my opinion of the situation was and is this: (sorry cause i already know im going to ramble and go on tangents)

firstly, idc about paraphilias. while i really dont want to talk to a pedophile or zoophile for my own peace of mind, i realise that a lot of these people are "anti-contact" and are like this because of trauma. ocd also intersects with these paraphilias which yk, also not anyone's fault. the "radqueers dni" in my intro is for pedophiles and zoophiles (im uncomfortable with interaction from anyone who posts about those things) and no other paraphiles. it's also for transid people- whom I actually hate w my whole heart. i dont support the whole transaged or transabled or transrace bullshit. radqueers dni is mostly for transid people.

now about toonimal: irdc if he's a pedo or zoo. i do care about the other allegations that have been made, such as him being pro-contact and talking about sex to minors. while this callout shit was happening tho, most people did not even mention those last parts or they didn't know about all that. literally every other post i can find on the topic harps about how him being a pedo and zoo is The Problem.

some of them do mention the creepy behaviour towards minors, which i think should be what we focus on, instead of preaching about The Dangers of Paraphilia Pride. like genuinely idc if he posts gross digital art or whatever tf, i care that he has a large following and lets minors join what should be adult spaces and is def dangerous. if there's anything else like that he's done/doing, lmk.

there was a large subset of trans people who were "condemning" him for being a paraphile from what i can remember and like, i dont like that that's what they were focusing on instead of all the objectively wrong shit he's done. it's very Cutting Out The Bad Kind of Trans Rep, yk. he wasn't the first paraphile blog on Tumblr to be called out, too, and i remember sooo many posts just floating around on my literal dashboard- which typically doesn't have any non-political discourse- basically going like, "look this trans person here is a proud [x]phile!!! mass report them!!!" and then i would look at said person's blog and find nothing objectively wrong. no creepy xphileposting or whatever, just posts about Being a xphile. obviously not the same issue as toonimal, but this is the direction the discourse flowed in.

i more or less don't care about the toonimal discourse, i have literally no way to help the victims and im not going to call the cops on a microinfluencer across the ocean. i just dont like how often i see people jumping on a chance to call a trans person problematic and dangerous and how they'll often try to share the sentiment (actual words I've read), "see trans pride is good and all BUT" as if transgenderism is to blame here. the narrative, especially in cis spaces, shifts to (or starts with) "look at this account with a furry icon and rainbow banner!! they're a proud pedophile!! how dangerous". it really affects the trans community as a whole when instead of taking Actual action, actually boycotting, they talk about the person for WEEKS, weeks where "gay, furry, trans, pedo" is all that accumulates into people's brains. and other trans people do this too obv but theyre vehemently like this is NOT trans pride guys, please dont think we're like THAT person.

atp im too tired to keep typing though there's still stuff id like to elaborate on. but basically what i mean is: i dont think toonimal is innocent at all, i also dont think most (80%) of the people calling him out were completely innocent. like u said, there were problems with the way this was handled. imo the people who only discovered this shit by reading posts and not because they know anyone involved-- most of those people easily forgot the actual creepy shit he did. they were too busy making quirky memes and calling paraphiliacs disgusting, as if that has anything to do with yk. actual actions.

if u think there's more i should know about, feel free to lmk.

i saw u rbed my post and i'm just so intrigued about the thought process behind your lover tracklist/you're losing me being a lover vault track. pls explain.

Yeah absolutely! I was on a break from Taylor when Lover dropped unfortunately after being a day one fan but feeling really burned by LWYMMD, the way it seemed like she was really going to make a hip hop album just to spite a black man (and I never thought Kanye was in the right but it didn't sit right with me for her to go that far) and the way she just refused to address the growing homophobia in her own fanbase, so unfortunately I wasn't there when it came out and a lot of this has been my own research.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now that Lover was finished being recorded, mixed and mastered in February of 2019 but London Boy has been proven to have been made in early June of that year. (If I need to explain this too I can make another post for it.)

We also know that the songs All of the Girls You Loved Before and Need/It's A Need were vault tracks. This was essentially confirmed on March 17 of 2023 when she officially released All of the Girls You Loved Before as a vault track.

So here's my thoughts. First of all, You're Losing Me isn't sonically coherent with Midnights. Not with the main album which MANY more qualified people than I have explained (but suffice it to say that the mastering makes the album sound very samey; I LIKE Midnights but this is undeniably true), not with the 3am tracks which have a very Aaron Dessner sound to them. You're Losing Me doesn't fit with the 70's and 80's inspired synth sounds most prominently heard on Lavender Haze, Karma, The Great War and Labrynth. It has incredibly important drums, but unlike the ONLY two drum forwards midnight tracks (Question...? and Anti-Hero) it does not use a drum machine. It also has its bass line mastered in a different way than midnights that feels more natural and less muddied. While I do think Jaxk Antonoff is an amazing producer, he's gotten into a rut and this is NOT the sound of his current production style.

In addition, Taylor uses a sample from Cornelia Street in the bridge. The piano line isn't just similar, I've put them next to each other and they are the EXACT same sound. This is possible but unlikely to be achievable four years after the production of Cornelia Street because while Taylor COULD be more careful than industry standards, many record companies only save the master files, not the DAW workbench, at least long term. This is something that has been changing recently, but I still think it is at least a point in the favor of You're Losing Me being the original Track 11 of Lover.

In addition, You're Losing Me mentions "mending all of her gashes" as well as other references to other knife wounds; it also mentions "We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't". This creates a narrative link between Death by a Thousand Cuts and Soon You'll Get Better that just wasn't present in the official release. In addition, DBATC and YLM end and start, respectively, on the same piano note. Similarly, YLM and SYGB end and start, respectively, on the same chords.

Thematically You're Losing Me also mirrors the dramatic shift in the Lover era from bright pastels and pop songs to all black and singing the greatest breakup songs of all time in lounges. It seems like a predictive song that came true.

There are a LOT of people who believe Joe was a fake relationship, and if so a breakup likely happened here, but even assuming Toe was real we now know that they has NUMEROUS breakups over their 6 year relationship. I think one likely happened in the summer of 2019, and Taylor saw it coming, and this was a song about it. It would also explain why Joe was so offended about its release if it wasn't even from this breakup.

Also "I wouldn't marry me either" sure seems a lot more in line with Ms. "I take this magnetic force of a man" "I think he knows he better lock it down" "I'd marry you with paper rings" than Dr. "She would've made such a lovely bride, what a shame she's fucked in the head" "no deal that 1950's shit that want from me" "he wanted a bride I was making my own name". Like obviously she can have conflicting feelings bit it seems way more likely that this was back when she WANTED to marry him.

Moving on though. False God is Taylor's sexiest song and it feels bizarre to abruptly change to YNTCD. Need is also horny but in more of yearning way, and sonically it tranItions from very sultry at the start to very upbeat and airy by the end. This just makes a lot more sense to me. Personally I'd have preferred, given her lack of meaningful queer activism, her to NOT have profited off of a song explicitly about queerness, but this isn't about what I want, it's about what I think was on the Original Track Listing ™️.

Moving on, I think It's Nice To Have A Friend and Daylight are doing two wildly different thing, and AOTGYLB both bridges them nicely and acts as a good end to the story of a young woman in love but afraid she's going to lose it. "Yes, I've been afraid, especially because I'm afraid I can't measure up, but I can see now that I don't have to measure up and your past shaped you into the person why wants me despite my flaws." It allows Daylight to breath as an author's note, and I genuinely think that's where Daylight shines.

Also, just numerically, it feels unlikely that Taylor Swift would look at a 19 song tracklist (18-1 for London Boy+2 for AOTGYLB and Need) and go "yeah no let's cut nothing and also not add one more track to make it are significant or round number." The woman cut Wonderland from the standard 1989 to me the tracklist 13; I don't buy it.

Ultimately because we ojow the tracklist is different in the initial mix vs the actual release we know SOME changes were made. We can't KNOW which changes are 100% correct unless she tells us (and even then she does like to just lie sometimes), but to me this seems like the closest I'm going to get unless new information arises.

Thanks for the ask, and sorry the explanation was so long/took a bit to type up!

Thank you for the info! So we now know that they have at least 5 different paypals, with at least 8 different urls for the same person, and I've noticed that on 3 different reblogs they say they have reached different points of their goal at different times. You might think that this means on separate posts they've been updating their progress to say they're getting closer to their donation goal with each day, but on their most recent post, it says they have LESS than they did some days before (shown on screenshots where I clicked the date the post was made & the blog its on or rbed to). Note that they have no other reblogs on their blogs besides the single donation post, so they could be editing the same post& updating selectively on some blogs, but I took these screenshots yesterday & this is what they showed; 1 blog had $1,245 most recently on July 19th 2021, $1,345 on July 15th, & $1,545 on July 10th. If it was/is genuine it could mean that they've been spending donations on oxygen tank(s) or other undisclosed medical expenses, but if that's the case, why not update people on what's going on? Why not update all your blogs to accurately say where your goal is so we know whether or not you've reached it or how much more you need?

The person who made these donation posts are welcome to try disprove the accusations & clear things up if I'm wrong, but so far they've been acting very fishy & very similarly to the way these other scamming blogs act, & so far they haven't even made a post acknowledging this post or other people whove said this was fake. I think they've even seen this post when it first came out because not long after I made it, they abandoned the blogs I mentioned first, deleted their posts, and then made these other blogs. Kind of a weird "coincidence"

I'm pretty sure this post is part of the savemysister scam ring that sends out bots asking for money & keeps getting deleted because of their scamming (& had already raised thoudands of dollars) along with other aliases & photos of different people they've used, they seem to always say that they 1. need money for a surgery of Pulmonary Hypertension, which, I've heard but could be wront, rarely actually needs surgery 2. are from the Philippines 3. Use very similar wording, and usually mention something about an oxygen tank 4. Never provide updated but instead just keep asking for money while using the same photos. Below are other examples. Note that the Abbiegails account stole the image of the elderly lady from google, and her condition was end of life renal disease, not pulminary hypertension. So if you see a donation post with the above descriptions, its probably a scam
