#is that how you pluralize that word

[mr-payjay]

there are a Million ways to be a system. don't limit yourself or Restrict your idea of them too harshly. speak to multiple systems if you want better references for depicting them (or just to know how they work) because every system is different and unique

So I've been making cute blorbo boxes lately :3

Listened to a podcast this morning where a guy was talking about how he had added pronoun alternatives to a working text. He mentioned having he, she and they and then he says "and also we rather than I for people who are non-binary and don't necessarily identify..." and you know, this guy's clearly a little confused but sure, he's got the spirit.

In hindsight, perhaps it would’ve been better to specify a group of invertebrates that sturgeons eat. “I like mollusks/worms/crustaceans, because they have no bones!” certainly does not leave much for interpretation, as it is quite obvious that sturgeons are not a secret group of one of the above. My worst fear is that people’s takeaway from my video is that sturgeons are invertebrates “because they have no bones” TToTT

i think . hcing characters who dont have rlly. any canon evidence for it as being plural is fun

One thing about me is I’m always fighting myself because i am both a coward who wants to never ever express an opinion and an over-sharer who has to tell everyone everything all the time and those two parts of me hate each other

Honestly as an ESL speaker and teacher I wish all variations of Standard English were more like their regional dialectal counterparts

Our thoughs on CP/CSAM as a survivor (terminology discussion)

[TW: CSA & CP (venty but not really graphic)]

Stay safe!

So, a lot of people are discussing right now whenever the term CP is the right one or if we should even use it. In my opinion, Yes it is the right one.

Because while I absolutley agree that it shouldn't ever be implied the child could EVER consent to it, I don't think the word Porn does mean that. The Porn industry is extremly exploidatory and most of the things you might see, is not consentual. The term itself only means that it depicts explicit sexual content in which one or more parties are also naked. It's entirely sociatel how we view the term.

And even all that beside, I don't feel like the words CSAM describe just how bad it was. And how serious it is. For us it feels like that term is watering it down not CP. Because Abuse doesn't sound as bad as CP, at least we seen it ourselves how people react to those words so extremly diffrently (they shouldn't, Abuse or Harrasment are bad enough words)

We were treated like a Pornstar, like objects you can throw away and do whatever you please with no consiquences. So yeah, it was forced, brutal, groteqce CP. Forced into the work of consentual adults where we never had a say in any of it. Forced into the fantasy of brutal discusting adults.

I hope every person with the right thoughs inside sees the words "Child" and "Porn" as so extremly contradictory that they throw up whenever they see the term, because it's so absolutley wrong. And don't come with the reasoning that the Porn industry constanly pushes around the boundaries like "teens" or "schoolgirl" or "highschooler" ect implying not adult creators, because this is part of the problem. If you see the term CP and think it was consentual because the word Porn is inside, please go fuck yourself and report yourself to the police, you are scaring us., you're part of the problem too

~?/don't wish to share and it shouldn't matter for the point since we share the view

bloodsong of oh shit....oh fuck

[zarafey]

bestie was ist los mit all diese deutsche Supernatural-Memen (is that how you say meme in German? I'm fully just guessing)

Bestie meine andere bestie @eg515 hat mir die gezeigt und jetzt kann ich nicht aufhören zu lachen. Didi und Samu Wuppertal. Da ist teilweise Dialekt. Es ist so absurd. Warum gibt es da so viele. Ich komm nicht drauf klar.

[mech-pilot]

dear fucking god please do not have my parents initiate an aggressive "family chat" as soon as ash leaves. unironically that one 3 hour fight has made me get fucking scared preemptively now about it

[imjustaf444keriguess]

also i think people's opinions on what they're comfortable being called or would prefer being called can differ from what they find as acceptable as an umbrella term to describe the experience itself, so saying "would you be comfortable if someone called you specifically a certain label" is MUCH different than "would you be comfortable if someone labeled the experience that you also have as a certain label"

for some, the answers would be the same. for others, they might understand why the umbrella term(s) might differ from their comfort term(s)

[silent-sentinels]

heho :)

[coffeeastronaut]

while im sure that rvb's portrayal of systems is not exactly the best* i do think that it says Something that like. 99% of the plurals i know are rvb fans. this isnt a bad thing btw like to be clear i think it's nice.

*im singular and not the most educated on thr subject beyond being nice to people + my friends who are plural's shared experiences so i dont want to commit to an opinion on that point here at the piss on the poor website
