#legbutt

ok, i am currently watching the new hbomberguy video and i got to the part with james somerton, and this is actually painful. i cannot believe how fucking creatively bankrupt someone can be. like, does he even watch or engage with the media he makes video essays for? i can't be sure. if he just regurgitates everything, then wtf does this guy even believe? this is so insane to me. i can't imagine making all these videos copying other people's work verbatim, it's all so empty and soulless.

the thing i love about video essays is seeing what others are passionate about talking about. i guess to me, sharing that enthusiasm (especially if it features good analysis) is so satisfying! it says something about you as a person: what you like, what you notice, and what you feel from art. art that has had a strong personal effect on me is part of how i understand my identity. so i guess there's something nearly uncanny valley about a fucking human content machine spitting out videos featuring nothing but other people's thoughts, opinions and observations. it's all so cynical.

and it's made even more upsetting that this guy is, ultimately, a marginalized person standing on the backs of other marginalized people. profit in the name of "queer analysis." it fucking spits in the face of what the queer community should be - we should be looking out for each other. uplifting one another. you'd have to be a real fucking scumbag to treat others this way.

EDIT: i got further in and uh,,, my question "what is this guy even passionate about," was answered! it's hating women. he's a misogynist. wow. fuck this guy with a brick.

EDIT: WHY WOULD HE MAKE AN ATTACK ON TITAN VIDEO IF HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL "SHONEN." THAT'S NOT EVEN REMOTELY IN HIS WHEELHOUSE FFS IM INSANE \

edit: to follow up on anime not being his wheelhouse, apparently he was gonna make a neon genesis evangelion video (despite as recently as 2 weeks ago saying he'd never seen it and didn't understand the watch order) and a revolutionary girl utena video. thank you, harris, for saving us from this fate. good fucking GRIEF

I’m gonna be honest I think all the times I almost got killed make me a lot more inherently political than being bisexual and non-binary does.

a couple of days ago, someone made a very bad webcomic about a former coworker they didn't like. coworker's transgressions ranged from saying something like "you're great as you are" in response to the author saying they were rejected by their family in coming out, to doing a bad running joke about hating birds.

this got a lot of backlash because it radiates "mountain out of molehill". the author takes the comic down and issues a statement about being insensitive to women and lgbt people or whatever.

life tip: do not do this under any circumstances. apologies should be reserved for people/relationships that matter to you. what do you emotionally owe to strangers? nothing. i don't get what's so difficult to understand about this. you can't repair a relationship with someone you don't know, because you never had one in the first place. parasocial doesn't count.

there's also something about it that comes off as narcissistic, i guess. as a woman from the legbutt community, my life isn't made materially worse because you made a dogshit webcomic. you're not that important. don't issue a fucking press release about this.

Everytime bi women who are married to or dating men whine and complain about not being gay enough for legbutt community I double down on my newfound heterosexuality. I have a cisgender fiance and that makes me straight now. You losers might need to be gay to be cool but not me. I can be cool and heterosexual at the same time, due to my abilities

even conservatives (and even assorted liberal flavors atp) are starting to feel that the empire is over and that civilization is on its last little legs. The problem is they think the issue is legbutts and the word salad known as "cultural marxism" instead of the capitalist death cult so to them the solution (if it can even be called that) is to roll back rights for marginalized groups they've hated anyways in hopes that well somehow return to the glory days (spoilers: we won't).

yknow thinking about the concept of “i used to be a lesbian” it’s like

i’m sure i’m seeing it through rose tinted glasses and all, but in the UK, in the 2000s, there was some great underground (and overground, wombling free) lesbian culture. and i loved being a part of it. i loved hanging out in dykey zine spaces listening to slam poetry on the open mic. i loved hitting up the bars on canal street with my equally gay equally plural bestie. i loved the hippie granola vegan cafes. i’m sure i met some terfs but it was never flung in my face, like it was great to be genderfuck, it was part of our culture that some people were butches or he/him lesbians or outright preferred to refer to themselves as men.

but somewhere down the line, terfy attitudes took over, and that open, rebellious, freewheeling space... i don’t know if it still exists, in the same places it did. and i can’t help thinking, when terfs complain about “losing our butches to the transmasc pipeline”... you know, i would have stuck around if you’d let me. all the people you’re “losing” to transmasc identity are people who had previously happily fit into the lesbian community. we’ve always had bois and people who took hormones and people who bound their chests or got the teat yeet. we’ve always had he/him pronoun users and people who didn’t fit in the traditional gender binary. you just suddenly decided we weren’t welcome any more.

Based on a Dumb Tweet: This is a series of comics I'm working on over on my Twitter (@bitterontwLtter). It's mostly about dumb tweets or me oversharing my personal issues.

Hello gay community. Haphazardly applied orange blush inspired by Trixie Mattel. Purple inspired by I like it. Basic concept from the edible I took around 5:45.

On Sunday night Maria and I watched I Saw the TV Glow and it carved me open like that boxcutter did Owen. Utterly harrowing stuff. It actually made me have a very real crisis about who I am and what kind of transition I’m pursuing. “Am I asking for a radical reduction instead of typical top surgery because it’s what I really want? Or am I just flinching away from totally abandoning my most feminine characteristic?” I decided that no, this isn’t a flinch. If it was, it would be a pretty silly place to draw a line. I know what I want, and I know what I am: transgender. I’m not a woman, and I’m not a man either. I might not be a lesbian, but I’m some kind of dyke. I’m Maria’s wife. I’m a little high right now. I feel pretty good about the future.

Don't worry, the headline kindof misleads the direction of the article. It is very obviously calling out legbutts and the situation in Florida for what it is.

So I guess some of you are just gonna ignore the brownface elephant in the room, huh. Neat.

[doebt]

GHJDAFKLJGHAIODJFHGKLJADNFGLKJADFLGKHDFGH Honestly i would rather it be changed to legbutt than any of these actual proposed alterations

I think I can call this finished. The truth is I’m very afraid a lot of the time but I’m trying not to be, so I channeled my terror and frustration into crafts. The unicorn colors correspond to the eight stripes of Gilbert Baker’s original pride flag. The Mountain Goats song “Clemency for the Wizard King” is not about gay people at all but that one line is so potent I had to use it in my gay little project. The monster faces are all copied or adapted from iconic horror images that have haunted me for years. The eyes are just eyes.
