#like obviously theres nuance

"nehh mcr always pandered to the gays why is it ok when they do it but not when Taylor does" idk I don't rlly think they're pandering to the gays they just both have rlly largely queer fanbases (altho mcr def has more queer people, I've never met a cishetallo person who likes mcr)

I'm sure there's nuance but at the end of the day real people can't queerbait

do we need to put mouthwashing up on the shelf because some people just do not know how to behave

the thing is that the vast majority of what comes out of dazai's mouth is either a straight up lie or a convoluted misconception based on his depression and complete lack of emotional intelligence. yet somehow 90% of the fanbase believes everything he says

wandersong fans. hi its me again. you may remember me from the emotionally devastating baron post. now. if youll walk with me again for a minute.

i have seen. many designs. which give miriam pointy ears which tumblr users associate p much unanimously with magic and witchcraft and whatnot. and it got me Thinking about my design, which does not have them. and i thought to myself, what if those are common to witches, but miriam specifically doesnt have them, leaving her even more ostracized? which was very good very fun.

and then i thought to myself.

what if kiwi does?

walk with me. kiwi may not be a witch, but they clearly show an affinity for music-based magic, which is canonically magic in its oldest and simplest form. them being related to witches and having the ears to show for it would be fun.

but nyanbinary-87, you say, kiwi doesnt canonically have ears! well, thats where the fun part comes in, of course! kiwi hides these ears behind their capelet, bc they are an additional level of ostracization and assumptions about them. which means kiwi also hides them from miriam. and presumably doesnt reveal them for the entire adventure.

well. more specifically, kiwi wouldnt reveal it at least until miriam starts prying their feelings out with a crowbar. which is, notably, after visiting chaandesh. and. well.

miriam, the born and raised witch, feeling outcast from chaandesh, blaming her lack of true "witch ears".

kiwi, traversing and interacting with chaandesh with ease despite being nonmagical, with the one physical trait miriam found herself Lacking.

and with how the rest of the acts go, its either right before she leaves or just after she returns that she finds out about this.

all too often, i fall into the very same writing trap which blood and wine DLC did: wanting to see regis as a really deep and tragic character, instead of recognizing that the whole point is the subversion of a vampire being not a wretched creature worthy of pity, but instead just another clown in the human circus

so, i’m guilty and i will be the first to walk into missed-the-point jail

Every time I see a post about Kamabakka people hate the depiction of the drag queens but like...???? Is it a hot take to love the Kamabakka Queens?? The entire implication is that Ivankov is right there to medically transition them but they don't. They're people happy with how they look, happy with their identity, living outside the norms of society. They're drag queens. I fucking love them??

Obviously the idea that testosterone or masculinity in general are inherently evil is not only stupid but incredibly harmful and bioessntialist. But also I have yet to see a trans woman actually say these things when talking about patriarchy and privilege. I'm starting to think some of you are taking them in bad faith and/or inventing women to be mad at so you don't have to examine if you might just maybe have a modicum of structural power or even just biases to work through

who else up having their heart broken by the Prost documentary, btw,

Am I misunderstanding that post because a lot of fat fetishization Does dehumanize fat people I'm not sure i entirely understand your tag

thats basically what im saying. i absolutely agree that the fat fetish community enables dehumanisim + fatphobia and that is a problem which should be talked abt considering how rampant it is, and i dont like people using "oh those purity obsessed assholes just hate us for Loving Something Different" as a shield. fetishization is a specific term for that kind of dehumanization + objectification where someone is reduced to a pure sexual object instead of being viewed as like, a person, with their value only being filtered through the sexual pleasure other people get out of their bodies, and is often accompanied by massive amnts of fatphobia and a general intense disrespect for fat people ioutside of sexual contexts as well. and its something that is absolutely worth talking about especially from fat women who are most often the targets of this kind of treatment

but ive absolutely seen people take that conversation to mean "fetish = bad" and that is what annoys me. theres a difference between having a type, having a kink, and fetishization. and the way anyone who speaks affectionately or sexually about a fat person or fat bodies is immediately slapped with the label of DIRTY FETISHIT is something that comes from a well-meaning place, but more often then not just says "being attracted to fat people is Not Normal, and therefore impossible to do in a way that isn't fatphobic, therefore fat people should not be seen as sexually desirable". even if the intentions are good, the result ("fat people are not viable sexual interests") just contributes to the existing stigma around fat bodies.

does anyone else think it's kinda fucked up how the watcher fans basically bullied their creators back on a platform they didn't want to use anymore?

[chipjrwibignaturals]

can i swing a bat around a wasp nest for a second here. i think sometimes people will call characters "soooo sibling coded" just bc their strongest experience with having friends IS their sibling(s).

and to be fair this is 1000% not intended as a dig or insult. my sister is one of, if not currently, my best friend! this is an observation drawn partially from lived experience. but thinking about it like... its the most easily accessible form of a long-term close platonic connection with someone else, you're often close in age and share a lot of lived experiences so you can easily relate to them, etc. but those arent exclusive to siblings, just more common IN them. yknow?

Im truly no expert, but please look at other political parties and consider voting for the person you actually believe in.. In my opinion, between the democratic and republican candidates, there is no lesser of two evils, and continuing to support this two party system for the sake of that thought process is not helping.
