#rape apologia

[sumikatt]

it’s just this recent wave of “all sexual expression is good even the problematic ones!” is crazy to me like we used to be mad about the song Blurred Lines and call it blatant expression of misogyny and rape apologia, even though it’s art. like i think it’s fine to call shallow misogynist art shallow and misogynist and i think it’s fine to deplatform it

Transmisogynists kill yourselves.

at this point i feel like you either have to be legit stupid or willfully ignorant to pretend there's something wrong with being against porn and prostitution as a woman or feminist lol like i really... i used to struggle to articulate my feelings on the matter and i'd kind of try to be live-and-let-live about it because i was scared of getting yelled at. but nowadays i just feel like it's inextricable from any genuine feminist ideology to not accept those things as natural or acceptable. the whole "swerf" thing is absolutely insane to me. people really compare being against human trafficking and mass institutionalized rape/rape apologia to... being a right wing maniac and/or neo nazi and/or bigot... it's so fucking crazy. like actually. step back and look at yourselves.

the thing that i think transfems who don't like hdg don't understand is that picking on the hdg fandom is friendly fire no matter how you frame it. like let me take their perspective and pretend for a moment it is in fact white man's burden rape fetishizing slaveowner apologia: ok cool that's bad, but do you know what's worse? fascists and rightoids actively campaigning for trans genocide

how about you spend the energy you're using to upset and confront people who are part of the same minority group as you on calling out jk rowling for funding anti-trans charities, or republicans for any of the 893456920752380957123 deranged things they're doing, or quite literally anything the fuck else. every single one of these options is objectively superior simply by virtue of not causing more transfem infighting

and i know some of you will be like "But No, This Is An Issue Of Moral Purity! It Is Imperative That We Purge This Taint From Our Community!" it is not. it just isn't. if you think this you have clearly not seen enough trans people killing themselves because they felt isolated from the only community they feel safe in (the trans community.)

even from your own perspective in which hdg is bad, you should believe that it is better to have transfems who like a problematic kink setting than to risk making them suicidal in order change their mind on that. and if you don't believe that then, im sorry to say it but you are just out here teamkilling under the guise of "doing the right thing"

radfems are so fascinating. watching porn is rape apologia but blaming unrelated women for men committing sex crimes is not rape apologia. incredible praxis

it's just such a pissant way to view the world. deeply incurious, totally fear driven, patriarchal misogyny and condescension but make it girlboss. deeply unserious ideology.
