Yeah so I think a lot of ppl tend ti reblog shit in good faith but when people are making oneu off of deceiving you, no. Yoi habe to be a bit more critical. The far right gets in so many movements bc of this. They're the ones making money off of this

max and i are closing in on launching [redacted sports rpf charity fest] and i am once again pondering how do i write "experience with writing form emails and manipulating google forms in ways no one has dreamed of" in a cover letter without saying "i did it for the rpf grind"...like there's no way unless everyone in this microsoft teams meeting gets really cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly. you know

i think part of the reason that so many people, especially people who call themselves allies or themselves go by they/them, continue to have a problem of calling trans men and women gender neutral terms and refer to them as they/them, is because they have (subconsciously) decided that it's easier to conceptualize trans people as a whole into an "other" category

so then this is fine for nonbinary people whose gender is that "other" that people group them as — though it may be annoying that they're only seen as that because of their transness rather than their gender being respected in itself — but people, including allies and some trans people themselves, think of "trans woman" as a different gender to "cis woman" and "trans man" as a different gender to "cis man."

which leads to things like this person I know calling me and all their trans friends they/them regardless of our actual gender, when in the same breath they think about and refer to my cis guy friends as male. or the ever-prevalent phenomenon of people calling trans women they/them even when they know full well they're women, because it's much harder to get people to believe that using gender-neutral pronouns and nouns can be misgendering as well

I'll say it as many times as it needs to be said. There is absolutely miniscule actual harm that comes from engaging with Harry Potter in 2024. JK Rowling does not need money. Anything sent her way is less than a rounding error. And the book series was literally EVERYWHERE in the 90s and 2000s. Like it or not, it DID impact a whole generation of people - pretending that never happened is completely absurd, if not outright irresponsible. It happened. It's just a fact. Harry Potter is mainstream. There is nothing that can be done to 'promote' it. It's already there.

What all this obsession with HP on tumblr is about? An easy way to smugly define Good People from Bad People. Because if you *really* cared about trans people enough, you'd hate everything associated with Harry Potter. Regardless of how much you adored it when you were 8 and went to Harry Potter parties with your family all dressed up quoting book lines at one another in your most precious childhood memories because for once your special interest actually aligned with the people closest to you. No, all those positive associations should have been deleted instantly. If you *cared enough*, it would just *happen*.

Which is why a whole slew of people who previously had earnestly reblogged posts about Moral OCD and how bad tumblr can be about it were suddenly cackling about how buying Hogwarts Legacy was comparable to *refusing to throw The One Ring into Mordor, starting a war that would kill millions.* And how donating to a pro-trans charity (an act that would have VASTLY more impact than aforementioned rounding error) is comparable to 'donating to a pro-elf charity' in the wake of that.

Because tumblr doesn't actually give a shit about autistics or OCD sufferers. When we complain about stuff that they also dislike, they proudly reblog that and rage in the notes about how selfish and cruel and Individualist those other people on tumblr are!!! But the *second* they get to paint themselves as the ones with '''''good thoughts and feelings'''''' they take it, and make up posts about how HP likers 'believe they're the main character and everything should revolve around them.'

Is it actually about whether something causes harm? Or is it about dividing the world into Inherently Good People and Inherently Bad People? Is it actually about doing real good for the community and making the world a better place? Or is it about shaming people with the Wrong Emotions until they fucking hate themselves and spend hours upon hours ruminating on end trying to change themselves because their inability to let go of positive Harry Potter feelings is OBVIOUSLY evidence of a truly inescapably evil and cruel and wretched identity that the world would be better off without?

Which is it, actually? When it actually feels a little bit good to feel like you're on the Right Side of all of this, for once?

The internet loves to make a single shitty person who thinks some reprehensible shit into a massive movement of ‘people’ who all believe the shitty thing

Several things about the **** and **** drama is how many people have hopped out to go omg so is the lady we have decided is the only big bad villain responsible for planting all of the hate against insert group/idol here when I watched in real time for all of those examples their own fans jumping on their favorite idols for things that were clearly just scraps of bad rumors they just completely made overblown THEMSELVES under the guise of trying to look 'critical about their faves'

when we haven't even seen gameplay footage yet and people are already complaining or assuming the worst, tired sigh. and like jhoto and unova are my favorite regions of all time, so i get being a bit disappointed we didn't get any news about them! but PLZA looks super interesting!!! and i'm very curious to see where they go with the concept especially because i enjoyed PLA so much!! i just wish i could exist in this fandom for 5 minutes literally anywhere without people complaining about every tiny thing it sets my RSD off so bad for even just liking whatever they're hating on. and i'm not even a suck up to modern pokemon company, i 100% have my criticisms about how they rush things! but sometimes this fandom makes me feel like a bad person for simply enjoying any pokemon game post gen 5 that isn't PLA. i wish there was just a tag or something i could filter out to avoid all this that would assist tenfold, but alas unfortunately not.
