I feel like ppl who are, rather than defending Dylan as a marginalized person on the receiving end of a hate movements full attention, instead trying to defend the politics or goodness of the song are missing the point

Walking in the shoes of many cis woman TikTok stars the politics of the song are pretty bad but I think trans women should get to make as much bad art as anybody else

The fact that she’s trans means the response to this is going to be way way outsized and much more vicious than the response to the many cis women doing this exact shtick would receive

Like a critique can have a valid base and still not be situationally appropriate

Like Dylan should be able to make music void of any good feminist politic just like any of these other chicks! Like the lesson shouldn’t be “everything she does is good” it should be “she deserves the humanity that we grant anyone else”

And as a recipient of vicious harassment and someone very much struggling under that weight the fact that she made a silly song is absolutely not appropriate to go after her for

Like Chrissy chlapecka the queen of this sort of TikTok music is a total fucking menace to feminist politic but she slides by and Dylan did a teeny fraction of what she does

You know the discussion about how making "people who do bad things" into a category that only inhuman monsters inhabit (and thus no "good, normal, human person" could possibly be an abuser, or a murderer, or manipulative) makes the world so much more dangerous because it is normal people who do those things and if you don't recognize that you won't be able to identify/confront those people in your life?

I think we need to do something similar with the conversation around "self hate".

I read a post today containing an argument over whether being self-depreciating is a prideful and/or selfish thing to be. I skimmed most of it but at least some of the replies seemed to come to "absolutely NOT and it is CRUEL to put down people who are depressed by implying that they are also being selfish and the whole situation is their fault".

And.

I get that.

It is a horrible thing to feel awful about yourself, and then additionally be told that that is you being selfish and unkind to other people.

I am not speaking from a place of chronic depression; I've never been there. Nor am I including in this argument physical disorders of the mind (due to illness or injury or chemical imbalances).

And I am, for the record, approaching this from a christian perspective, where sin, in action and in thought, is very real.

but

Yes, it is self-centered to hate yourself.

It is incredibly self-centered to think that you are the worst person on earth.

It is incredibly self-centered to believe that your problems are unsolvable, or that you specifically do not deserve help.

It is a narrow, false, broken idea to have, that you are somehow worse than everyone else.

It may not be prideful, depending on the whether the definition we are using includes thinking well of oneself, but it still places you in the center, if only in your own private mind.

If you are consumed with hating yourself (not everyone who feels bad about themselves is), you will not help others. You will not consider the bigger picture. You will not improve in your skills or your relationships or your faith. You will not give God the glory He is due, you will project your hatred of yourself onto others and make out that they hate you, you will lie to yourself and others and in so doing become the very things that you fear that you are. You will be useless if you refuse to do anything at all. You will be a burden if you merely lie down and wait to die.

The lies are wrong. People do love you. God loves you. This will not change even if you are a burden. The people who really love you will never stop when it gets hard. There is not and will never be so much wrong with you or such a big thing wrong with you that God can not make you perfect. Christ's blood, if you have obeyed the gospel and have once been covered with it, will cover all! Nothing can snatch you out of the Father's hand, if you wish to be there.

But the point I want to make here is that you can be suffering and loved and deserving of help even if you are doing something wrong.

Let's say your situation is your fault. That definitely doesn't lessen the pain. That doesn't change at all the fact that you need help. It doesn't change how much you deserve help, either.

You can be suffering, and in the wrong, and doing the wrong thing, and it Does. Not. Lessen. Your. Value. It Does. Not. Change. That. You. Should. Be. Helped. Compassionately. Lovingly.

"Suffering" or even specific to this conversation "Self-hating" is not a category of inherently innocent people! We are all messed up! Usually at least some of our suffering is own own fault! (not always. Listen to me. NOT EVERYONE WHO IS SUFFERING IS SUFFERING BECAUSE IT IS THEIR FAULT. Suffering is not an inherent punishment for your specific flaws.)

Just...let people be wrong. Let yourself be wrong. and work to change it. And still be loved.

I loooooveeee all the fics where the agency finds Edwin's remains and Bury them with Charles but I cannot help but wonder in centuries time if people find them again and are just so fucking confused.

Especially if like they set Edwin's bones nicely with Charles' or like they're holding hands or some shit and these archaeologist r just like oh fun people who died together BUT NO. Bc Edwin died 70 years before Charles so wtf is going on here.

We don't know how these teenaged skeletons came to be like fuckin intertwined with each other but its cool ig?

And they try to separate them or something but they keep ending up together again. Just over and over until everyone is convinced it's some magic shit and to just let them be together.

i just have so many questions when hugh said wolverine would make a few bracelets for deadpool. i wonder what kind of situation he could possibly be in to think oh yknow what i'll just make some bracelets for wade he'd definitely love them like?? sir? was it yukio? did he not have the heart to turn down yukio when she asked him to help her make some friendship bracelets? was it then when he thought he'd make some for wade even though he knew how insufferable the guy would be?

was it just w-a-d-e with all red beads? or L-n-W because he couldn't give wade the satisfaction of having his initial first? or he just made all versions he could think of and ended up with like.. 6 bracelets all for wade?

did wade come home from a bad executed solo mission and cheered up when he saw the bracelets logan made for him? mr. jackman i need further details you can't just leave me hanging at that where's the fic, good sir? where's the deleted scene? it's ok you can tell us

the trumpers are out here insisting that trump won because those uppity city liberals are so arrogant and snooty looking down on them with their superiority complexes, and they lost the election because they refused to pander emotionally to the beer guzzlers and gun toting rednecks of this proud nation, well.

I'm just gonna say something even white trash can understand...

with all due respect... fuck your feelings.

dumbass hicks.
