y'know one might think that in a fandom where every single character is bi or pan, people would be at least kinda normal about bi people. but god, even here, even now, there's just.... so much casual biphobia everywhere.
it's... disheartening.
#and often it's just. not even mentioned? at all?#ignore me i just saw a post that completely erased both Karlach's and Minthara's bisexuality#and all people in the tags and replies were talking about were how op should have switched Wyll and Astarion#which.... of course can be argued#what they put down didn't really work for Wyll; absolutely#but.... bi erasure and specifically pretending that two bi women are actually secretly lesbians is..... idk#that to me is an issue a bit more important than arguing which of those two guys values himself less#like I'm not going to be the one to step into that hornet's nest; i value my sanity too much#but deep down it does kinda hurt actually#that that's what's important to people; but bi erasure is just a ha-ha funny joke#squirrel speaks

excuse me tlt lesbian desire callout post??
Yeah, about a year and a half ago, someone said "show me where the real lesbians are in this book," putting into motion a series of events that, not to be too sincere on this hellsite, would become the highlight of my year and a half,
#does tamsyn muir know it's 2020 and she can have her lesbians do more than look at each other#gideon expresses lesbian desire on page one of book one#harrow kisses a girl and tries to have sex with another one#replies#in the morning i'll have to see if i can find the post. a classic#featuring hits like#eventual deletion of the post from op's blog#and other amusing commentary#it fucked with my tag order and i'm too sleepy to fix it. goodnight all

NOOO WHY'S THERE BI LESBIAN EXCLUSION IN THE ORIENTED AROACE TAG.
#DUDE. YOU'RE LITERALLY IN THE ORIENTATION THAT IS MASSIVELY BUILT ON THE SPLIT ATTRACTION MODEL#AND YET YOU CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND THAT ALLOS COULD HAVE THE SPLIT ATTRACTION MODEL?????#(not saying all the bi lesbians are alloallo just trying to point out op's foolishness)#(also there's probably people identifying as bi lesbian for reasons other than that which is also valid#but pointing this out because it's in the oriented aroace tag)#like. it won't cover all the nuances but i can think of an extremely simple explanation for bi lesbians existing#you can just have different attraction types to different genders. it's simple!#dw i'm not getting too angry at this i'm just baffled by their chopt logic#anyway. bi lesbians are extremely valid and if you don't agree get out#queer discourse#<- not looking for any debates here just tagging for filtering purposes. get gone if you disagree. or think and change your mind.#tw discourse#cw discourse#if anyone knows the specific tags people have filtered for mspec and bi lesbian discourse let me know#just hovered over their accounts to block them. the asker is a minor so i guess i can understand them being stupid#but the answerer is 24 you should have developed critical thinking and common sense by now#rancid takes#<- gonna use this as a general tag for filtering

Heartbreaking when you see a post you liked come back on your feed but someone added some bs to it so you have to revoke your like 😭 honestly feel like I'm betraying the op when this happens
#in case you were wondering (which you definitely weren't)#the op wrote smth about the councilwoman from 911 and then someone added smth about bvddie canon which isn't even relevant#like this is a plotline about two black lesbians being victimised by a politician of colour#and you're making it about the straight guy so you can shove him into the newly openly bi character? ignoring said bi character's canon bf?#i hate this fandom sometimes#(and no I'm not linking the post because of disk horse iykyk)#look at me being fucking chatty in the tags

if i see one more post attributing kira's powers to ~supernatural powers~ instead of the obvious fact that the cia is doing a coup I'm going to start giving You the heart attacks

of course i saw the news how does that not prove my point further
the idea that all the police around the world could be mobilized by one single person is ridiculous (just look at this list of how many civilian militia there are globally)
heart attack victims don't seize the way "lind l tailor" did
i don't know how to tell you that You Can't Kill People Just By Knowing Their Name And Face because this is Real Life and not the newest grimdark marvel villain
people need to stop being scared of the ~bogeyman in the closet~ and wake up to the fact that usamerica is trying to take over the goddamned world

if i get a single more comment about why i don't tag "genderbend" on my kiratective fics i'm going to blow up the entire building. we don't know EITHER of their genders. why don't YOU tag your mediocre yaoi genderbend instead
🔆 sparkling-world Follow
…OP, you realize the news reports all consistently use "he," right?
🏎 fastandyurious
of course i do???? just because you see something on the news doesn't mean you have to believe it?????? they don't have any information on kira yet but i'm supposed to believe the fbi knows their gender already??????? also kira is literally a fucking girl's name my classmate in elementary school was called kira
🔆 sparkling-world
Kira comes from the Japanese romanization for "killer," it isn't gendered whatsoever.
Also, evidence shows the majority of serial killers are male, so I'd argue that the statistics favor the fujoshis here.
🏎 fastandyurious
well evidence shows that female serial killers are just more fun to write about and I'd argue that you're ignoring my fucking POINT which is that we DON'T KNOW KIRA'S GENDER and if people don't want to read lesbian kiratective they can FUCK OFF MY BLOG

Gonna disagree with this take. The idea of "hard" kink is arbitrarily defined in relation to what is seen as normative and I resent the implication that vanilla sex is inherently safer or less traumatizing than "hard" kinks. I think a better argument would be that you should engage in sex/kink with people you trust and who respect you/your boundaries, regardless of whether it's "hard" kink or not.
The most traumatic sexual experience of my life was in a very vanilla context. Since then, I've been more careful about whom I trust (perhaps to a fault) and done a lot kinkier things with people who respected me and my limits, and none of those have been nearly as traumatic.
okay at the risk of sounding like a dick i feel like i need to say something:
i implore all of the virgins that are running like v e r y kink centric blogs to PLEASE when they do eventually have sex not start out with hard kink especially their first time. there are so many things you have to learn about a partner before diving into kink and i feel like if it goes wrong there's a lot of trauma that can be associated with sex after that :/
anyways i'm done being on my soapbox be safe y'all🫶
#i feel like OP has good intentions here but very much comes off as framing vanilla sex as inherently safer#and seeing all the folks in the tags who are singing the praises of vanilla sex suggests I'm not the only person who read it that way#(albeit I reacted a bit differently)#I just really don't like the implication that vanilla sex is inherently less traumatizing or less potentially damaging#discourse#lesbian nsft

regarding the post reading "if zun did it you can too: make all of your characters women" and the tag "i'm doing this but in the opposite direction bc im transmasc and gay"
i love transmascs. shoutout all transmascs. they all deserve so much love n safety. heres an opinion i posted once, for context.
"why are you doing all this disclaiming io?" because before i turned off rbs on that post, people were saying stupid shit like "making your characters transmasc and gay is boring" which i cant abide. literally if ur trans and gay and ur making characters to explore & celebrate that, im supporting u so much. so if youre gonna say some shit disparaging that on here i dont respect your opinion; that said, this post is to address the other half of the arguing that went on on that zun post: "actually commenter was fine i dont get the big deal"
(i recognize that im preaching to the choir here, the target audience REALLY is the CHOIR'S followers not mine but hey)
my post was one that i made advocating for something which was IN THE MINORITY. which is a story with only women. there are many MORE stories with characters that are only men. so the question one must ask before leaving a tag or replying: what REASON do you think i, op, had to post a post like that?
what factors were influencing the post? what media environment led to the posts creation? what do u think the reason is that the post had such a clearly defined call to action? im doing some critical reading question shit to you right now. do you think me being transfem and lesbian have anything to do with it? im gonna show you these numbers
so if you have come to a conclusion about why i probably made the post, and what my post was meant to say, and you extrapolate, what does leaving a comment that says "im doing this but with men" IMPLY wrt those factors? what effect does it have? theyre UNINTENTIONAL effects, this commenter had no ill intent and was just trying to relate their own experiences. but nothing exists in a vacuum and one MUST consider the purpose of a post before leaving ANY kind of comment.
i guess thats all. i just want people to understand why myself and others were peeved by an innocent comment like that yknow. just consider what your comment implies in relation to what it was posted on
#this is a cohost post ass post#this also is probably useless to post and ive probably stumbled over my words but we ball#hi chat i love u#a511ff

#they gotta give her some flaws the greens remain more interesting. to me #i understand this statement is the exact opposite of how most everyone else thinks (via @visenyaism)

“all must choose” but rhaenyra looking hot and correct with good posture and her dad’s crown perfectly resting on her head like it belongs there just cannot beat that killer limp-wristed might frisbee the conqueror’s crown at any moment adult boy-king suicidal ennui + fundamentalist sword violence psychopath combination it’s not fair.
#op has a distinct point re how rhaenyra's perfection vs aegon & the greens' fuckedupness makes the latter more interesting#to people interested in fucked up characters that is#(for people who want their beloved characters perfect and good and right this is impossible to understand#that's why you see many tb accusing tg of misogyny and tradwifery etc - they think you have to agree with characters to enjoy them)#however as the second bunch of tags points out - the blacks are war criminals in f&b too!#i think there's a ton of potential for rhaenyra & the blacks' fuckuppery in hotd as well. tbf the greens definitely have a running start#between dissolute loser king; nervous repressed lesbian queen mother and her array of creepy suitors; inc the fundie murderous brute hand#but i remain confident hotd can surprise me and perhaps the “i bet on losing dogs” crowd too. we'll see i suppose#house of the dragon#asoiaf#rhaenyra targaryen#aegon ii targaryen#criston cole#jaehaerys's crown (hotd)#aegon's crown (hotd)#the blacks and the greens#hotd s2#also irrelevant to the point but i gotta say it again:#i'm certain they designed the hotd jaehaerys/viserys/rhaenyra crown *specifically* to fit emma perfectly rather than paddy or the jae actor#queue and me we're in this together now

Hello, everyone!!
Calling a brief Community Meeting!
There is a terf in the Locked Tomb polls tag.
They have a poll running now asking if Locked Tomb fans are "gender critical," broken down into age groups. This is almost certainly a fishing expedition, testing the waters of a predominantly lesbian and queer space to see if there's vulnerability here for them to gain a foothold and recruit.
I'm reluctant to give them exposure, but I also want to be sure this fandom is as unfriendly as possible for terfs and their gender critical euphemisms. They can come at our trans tombies over my dead body.
Edit: For your immediate blocking needs, the poll was posted by the blog we-the-human

Tags via @notbecauseofvictories #sears went belly-up in the last 20 years but it was a staple of my childhood. a truly wild coincidence. #I also felt the same little jolt of shock when the curator said that addams worked closely with florence kelley #who earned her law degree from northwestern; and alice hamilton who got her MD from U of M #like excuse me? those are places that currently exist. those are places I could earn a JD or MD from. #that said hull house is an incredible achievement. truly. I think of how much had to happen operationally and financially #to make it viable? the number of people involved both there and in the neighborhood? I get dizzy. #.......on a less serious note I have to believe that the relationship drama happening there must have been INSANE. #there's no way you can put that many passionate over-educated reformer lesbians in a room and not have fireworks.
as much as I love history and Chicago history especially, I do sometimes forget how recent everything here is. I was at the Hull House Museum with a friend of mine the other day, and we had a wonderful time listening to the curator talk about the birth of social work, the women who drove it forward, and the ghost stories that haunt their stomping grounds despite no one really dying there.
As we were walking around after the tour, my friend pointed out that Jane Addams' dress (the one on display in that room, black and small and otherwise unremarkable) had an uneven hem. "Oh, good eye!" the curator, who was walking alongside us, exclaimed. "Addams' tuberculosis left her with some spinal curvature, even after corrective surgery. She had most of her dresses altered to ensure the hem would be straight when she wore them---but on a standard dress form, the hem looks uneven."
"I always forget that having a tailor or dressmaker was considered typical back then," I said.
"No, by that point it was much more common to buy a dress from Sears and have it altered," the curator replied cheerfully. "That's what Addams did."
The whole exchange was maybe a few seconds, but it sticks with me even now. The idea that Jane Addams bought a dress from Sears---where I have also bought dresses, where my mother bought dresses---makes me feel insane. And yet, we're only talking about a hundred years ago or so. Is it so unreasonable that I, as a disaffected teen, was drifting through racks of mass-produced garments, just as Jane Addams did a century before? The exact location of the hands making those garments has changed of course; the workers' protections that Addams' contemporaries fought for have resulted in offshoring that work to less-guarded parts of the world. But it gives me a strange sort of fellow feeling to think about it, all these many decades later.
#this post hits two of my great loves simultaneously: our proximity to#history#and#Jane Adams#who I will go down a rabbit hole of new research about with absolutely the tiniest amount of provocation--God. I'm still so fucking proud#of the paper I did a semester or two back examining how skillfully she manipulated media coverage to get the narraive of immigrants as#autonomous. worthy citizenry of the community. to trump the 'objects of pity and moral decline'#that had come before she was just such a goodamn genius and now I find out that for all! my scads of research there are fucking Hull#House ghost stories like holy god the world is amazing and there's always so much cool shit to discover and I'm just SCREAMING gleefully.#and then. then yeah! as someone for whom Sears was also! an integral part of their childhood just fuck yes the dress thing was amazeballs.#but honestly? the best thing. the crowning achievement. of this post is its nonserious commentary on reformer lesbians because just *yes*#from the limited correspondence etc. we have? so much! fucking relationship drama. just an utter#tumblr gold#tour de force of post and tags to brighten my Monday afternoon#ladies being magnificent#for both Adams and OP honestly

It kind of fucks me up to see some people come out of watching RGU having absorbed absolutely nothing of what the show has to say about patriarchy, misogyny, & queerphobia, outside of "men bad, lesbian good." Which like.....sure, I guess? in the absolute barest sense, I suppose RGU is partially about that.
But if this show's thesis were really as simple as "lesbian good," then Juri & her role as an antagonist on the mini patriarchy that is the Student Council would simply not exist at all. Juri would've won all the duels, kicked Akio in the nuts, freed Anthy, & ridden away into the sunset with Shiori in her arms before Utena even showed up if that were the case. But she obviously didn't do any of that despite being a lesbian, so there must be something more complicated at work here.
A lot of RGU's narrative is dedicated to deconstructing binary social systems & the ways in which they harm those trying to and/or being forced to fit within one of two narrow boxes; man vs woman, adult vs child, princess vs witch, prince vs devil, special vs not special, romantic vs platonic, etc. So for someone to watch all of that beautiful complexity, only to filter it through yet another essentialist binary...sucks, to say the least.
#op and these tags really just GET it#i'm queer but i'm still chomping at the bit internally to correct this impression#utena's one of the most complex and nuanced looks at gender and power and this is all you can say???#if 'man-prince bad lesbian-prince good' was really the message then you could literally just look at the posters or only watch the first ep#instead of the whole series#one of the core twists in the series (imo) is when you realise that utena-as-prince is effectively just as bad as the others who get engaged#it's not only power that corrupts; the social structures and systems mold people and their expectations and behaviours#in a way that's even more insidious because it's basically always been there#utena-as-prince could never have reached anthy at the end of the series!#and while i do like that classic 'utena drawing the sword out of anthy' pose / animation its tragic that it's the main takeaway for some#isn't it significant that utena never ultimately 'triumphs' with that pose (whether in the series or movie) - with the sword of dios?#perhaps....it is not about having the ultimate power and agency?#the literal ending pose for adolescence has utena and anthy lying side-by-side. utena is portrayed not as a prince or protector#but an equal! on the same level and just as vulnerable as anthy#rgu#revolutionary girl utena#utena#critical analysis
