#if this term is derogatory then i do not use it and will not

[fluentisonus]

wait can I just complain for a second bc this is kind of pissing me off a little but the only available editions you can find online of jj grandville's les metamorphoses du jour (1829) are 1850s and 1860s editions, which afaict are Not the original lithographs but rather engraving reproductions of them (which is touched on briefly here). which I had assumed just meant it would be a slightly different quality or have other slight differences, which would only be mildly frustrating to me except for the fact that I've been comparing the versions in this 1854 edition of the book on gallica with what (as far as I know) are original lithograph prints here in the british museum collections because some of the ones in the gallica edition were striking me as like Noticably not 1820s-30s in vibe and. they seem to have been straight up 'modernizing' the clothing in these 1850s reproductions??

(first version (1829) vs later version (1854))

hi hello what happened to the entire shape of her dress & sleeves??? and to his fall front & trouser straps??

(first version / later version)

this is literally a different dress?

😐.

this wouldn't annoy me so much (and in fact I would actually enjoy comparing & find it really interesting) except for the fact that as far as I've been able to tell there's no place (online at least) where you can see all of the original illustrations -- the british museum only has a few, & same with other places -- so some/most of these images seem to only exist (digitally I mean) in their 'updated' 1850s versions. and in fact some sites list the later version as being the the 1829 versions! I just want to see 1829 clothing is that too much to ask

I have never met somebody who called intersex a disorder until I met radfems.

i honestly cannot take them seriously when they say TRA omg. we call you the terms YOU GO BY, why can't you just use the correct ones for us??

We aren't making up a bullshit term for TERF's or radfems. That is literally what you call yourself.

The term TRA was made to be derogatory.

Yeah, we should have more inclusion for intersex people in arguments.

Yeah, they're more than just a talking point.

But saying that they're 'just a "what about"' is exluding them. A lot.

If you want to rant about how the trans community isn't doing anything for intersex folks (although I am unsure of exactly how we do or don't help them in any way. i will say that yeah, they get overused as "what abouts" and do deserve more than that), then you should probably do more for them.

Instead of yelling about others, it's best to improve yourself instead.

Stop pushing intersex individuals into your stupid fucking boxes.

XY CHROMOSONE HAVERS LMFAOOOO

just say you're intersexist lmfao. just say you don't give half a shit about women who don't fit into your perfect perisex mold

god I wish my biggest issue was intersexism

Jewish women and folks who feel this also applies to them, I want your thoughts and opinions.

I ask this because I hold jewish women's thoughts and feelings in high regard, and am genuinely curious about their thoughts on this. I do not use this term for anybody, and do not plan to ever, this is solely to see the opinions of you all because I have seen this term defined as derogatory by plenty of sources, and I also notice some jewish women embrace jewess as a term. I am interested in the potential nuances of this conversation.

This poll is for anybody who feels it applies to them. However, please don't vote just to see the results when it doesn't apply. I'm queueing this post for after the poll has concluded, as even I won't know the results until this poll is concluded. I genuinely want to have somewhat of an idea about the diversity of jewish women's thoughts.

This poll is inclusive to jews of trans and/or intersex experience, or experiences that aren't solely in the binary womanhood sphere. Those who genuinely are in the process of becoming jews, feel free to weigh in if this applies to you. This poll will not be used to judge or shame jewish women or justify what terms you should or should not use for yourself or what terms you ought to be comfortable with. Anything that is derogatory to jewish women and their feelings is not tolerated and you will be Banished.

Feel free to share this post if you'd like. If you want to see the results but cannot vote, please queue this post, like this post, or wait for this blog to reblog this poll. I cannot emphasize this enough.

And if nobody has told you: jewish women, you are amazing. You deserve love and respect, and your thoughts matter in every conversation you are in.

whenever I see someone making fun of the tidelords disappearance I get SO angry. Its just so insensitive to water dragons, and it ALWAYS comes from a wind, earth, or ice dragon. Like I don’t think you have any ground to stand on guys, your deities are still more neglectful than the tidelord and he’s not even here

The funny thing about having been that pretentious child who was like "I'm too special and smart for video games, I read classic novels!" (secretly really wanted a GameCube) Is that now as an adult I am in fact reading those "classic" novels in bits and pieces in between dying stupidly in an MMORPG. So you know. These things can coexist, baby me.

[kinnoth]

If I see ONE MORE FUCKING PERSON be like "well I played and finished the dlc, but I'll wait to draw my conclusions about the lore until after the vaati video comes out"

FUCKING WHAT. It's not vaati's fucking lore! That man is just another fan, just like you! He is not your authority!!! Fucking dig up your own lore! All the information you need is there! Walk around the fucking game, open your eyeballs, and draw your own fucking conclusions!!!!!

I swear to fucking God you are all such cowards about "getting it wrong" that you are denying yourself half the fucking experience of the game by refusing to engage with the lore until someone tells you what to think about it.

Get your heads out of your asses!!!!!

there is something so incredibly funny at seeing how much offense fans of the toronto maple leafs take when someone insinuates anything about the experience there is less than optimal because like... why are you siding with an organization or a Concept over the actual people with opinions who have been around and made that organization what it is, lmao. it feels like it ultimately comes down to the crest vs players debate about being into sports, but i just think people love being obtuse on purpose.

seeing keefe say other coaches welcomed him to the "real" nhl after his time in toronto is like... first of all, he's just saying what OTHER people with experience have said... secondly, yeah duh. most coaches don't have to go through the scrutiny that people in toronto do, but watching toronto fans try to turn that into a good thing? like it's not. and it doesn't just have to be the way it is, but fans are brainwashed into thinking everything about the way it is now is The Best bc its in the center of the hockey world and if you can't hack it, you're less than. instead of like.. reflecting on why some of that makes the entire hockey-loving experience WORSE for us as fans and the people we root for than other teams fans have it. like pull your head out of your ass. god forbid there be any nuance to the way you view and cheer for teams just bc it's sports. there is something so pretentious and obnoxious and stupid about the way some leaf fans exist, yet they're the first ones to tear into you or say you're not thinking 'for the team' when you love one the faces of the franchise and continue to believe in them bc it doesn't agree with them, like lol. the dissonance is astounding, but man, if i don't understand why leafs fans are some of the most hated in the league.

[wild-at-mind]

In all seriousness, when I was in my 20s I spent way too much time reading tumblr and trying to figure out the right opinions to have on everything. It was pretty soul destroying now that I look back.

I know there was some pushback on Octolings and inklings collectively being called turflings, but I’m gonna be so real, it makes more sense than inkfish.

Like they have ink sure but they ain’t fish they mollusks. I never rlly understood why the fandom used that term.

EDIT: ok apparently inkfish is like a term used about actual cephalopods irl, however

Also allegedly one of the shop characters says it in 2? Idk. I kinda loathed turflings at first but it’s grown on me. I guess realistically it’s probably more likely that both are used.

always “boy moms are sexist enablers” never “boy dads are sexist encouragers”

always “annoying tiktok girls are promoting EDs and unhealthy skincare routines” never “adult men are intentionally using teenage girls insecurities to groom them into this shit”

always “annoying housewife woman putting herself in a dangerous situation where she has no freedom” never “her bigot of a husband who now has control over her and almost certainly lured her into this”

always “teen girls are fucked up for seriously saying they wish they didn’t have rights bc they’d rather be property than deal with college” never “men are literally at fault for this in every single way imaginable. Also she’s probably not actually being serious dude.”

always “ugh annoying entitled Karen being rude to the employees” never “jfc a man harassing female GameStop employees being rude and sexist and then waiting for them to get off work to do God knows what”

always “ugh white women suck they’re so annoying” never “ugh white men are entitled brats and are infinitely more annoying than any white lady”

always “straight girls are the worst” never “straight boys are insane and violent with their homophobia in a way straight girls are not often”

always “women need to be more careful in bars” never “maybe men in bars need to be more monitored or given a different section if they Really just cannot stop fucking raping people.”

always “yoga moms soccer moms boy moms almond moms” never any derogatory terms for fathers.

Like is anyone else seeing a pattern

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

[essektheylyss]

Okay, actual serious PSA: trash talk is not fun once you start using words like "narcissist" to shit on your opponents, and it will get you blocked, regardless of who you're levying it against.

Don't fucking be that person, alright?

I say I want a nice guy and don't get me wrong - I do. But when that nice guy gets playfully mean in just the right way in a situation where I can answer him in the exact same tone, mmm... My brains start leaking out of my... ears, yeah let's go with ears.
