This is a genuine question: I know you enjoy lady whump as you have some characters that are female and are whumpees. I enjoy it too, sorta. Truth is that I feel guilty.

I know it’s kinda problematic to see lady whump as taboo and immoral but I can’t help but feel like it’s wrong, I come from a country that HATES women (shocker all countries hate women but I mean mine has a huge femicide problem) and I know how stupid I sound “I can’t feel but it’s wrong” like duh it’s whump! But I honestly don’t know how to get over those feelings, it hits too close home.

My question here is did you ever got those feelings of guilt and if you did, how did you get over those?

It's understandable to feel guilty at times, especially when creating or enjoying dark content (and especially if it's something that hits close to home)

Initially, I had some reservations about lady whump, since in mainstream media, violence against women tends to be a sensationalized thing that exists for shock value or to motivate the male lead in some way

(it's worth noting that the media has a history of doing this to trans, gay, and otherwise queer characters and non-white characters as well)

Initially I was squicked out by the idea of lady whump because I was so used to seeing it through that lens (not to mention, as you've said, the real-life examples)

However, I've seen again and again that whump as a genre tends to handle that material well (with all genders, not just females). Instead of the shock value, whump focuses a lot on the emotions, how the harm affects the character being harmed, and more often than not gives that character a fulfilling recovery arc

Personally, that's what shifted my opinion on it

Even then, if it's something you're uncomfortable with, you're not at fault for avoiding or disliking it. It all comes down to personal preference, and whether you'd like to explore it more or just stay away, it's your choice, and you shouldn't need to explain yourself (/gen)

#media consumption guilt is definitely a thing #but stories are a way to deal with uncomfortable realities from a safe spot aswell as explore different flawed perspectives #consuming or creating media that DOES sensationalize/'mishandle' sensitive topics is still not morally wrong #you have the right to avoid it as much as you have the right to enjoy it #but whump as a genre is often misunderstood #yeah we like the violence and angst and fleeting whumperflies #but most people i know in the community care a lot MORE about the characters and how the things they go through change them #and how despite all the shit they're put through they still come out #they can still heal and live a happy life #regardless of age; gender; sex; race; etc #anon #hope this helped!#whump meta

Look, I like Tumblr but it suffers from the same problems as many other communities.

Some people, and by that, I mean most people, are so close minded it's crazy. Like, sure it's more inclusive (i.e. sexually inclusive) than other websites but that's just because historically it's been a nsfw blogging site and some people took it on themselves to make it good and inclusive.

But boy oh boy, you guys are always ready to jump at the guns at anything that sticks even by an inch out of your narrative?

"wow, this anon left a note with a well-put opinion but different from mine." Slur time babey

"this guy is showing a personal preference that has nothing to do with me." Time to call him an idiot in a comment

Like, sure, some opinions suck balls (kink Nazis on the nose) but all opinions are at least worth listening to and judging at ground level. No goal in pointing fingers without trying to understand.

#just a little rant #because it just happens so often #and this comes regardless of age/race/gender #take your time to think & internalize please #that's all folks

don't pay attention to these comments, pls, your art style is lovely and unique 👑

thank you so much, anon!! 💖💖💖

tbh more than anything, I'm just baffled that anyone thinks my feminism should be centered on "not drawing too much anime faces"

like yikeeeesssssss 😭😭😭😬😬😬

#fwiw feminism for me is centered on helping and protecting all women regardless of class race age sexuality health and gender identity #so op reaching for the stars to try and connect my feminism with drawing women “ugly” as per her standards is buckwild to me

"I wonder why it only took a few months of weirdos before you guys made an article but TO THIS VERY DAY actresses are still sexualized non stop, even sometimes underage actresses. People post about them wanting them to be 18 and the day after their birthday they'll get a weird nsfw Reddit dedicated to creeping on them. But yeah, sure, this is the REAL problem."

#its still gross to sexualize celebs #but tbh we need to address the sexualization of feminine bodies #in like every piece of media we have #and stop oggling celebs like they arent real people #im just annoyed that when it happebs to women it seems like it doesnt even matter #like no one even cares #both are fucked up but on has been around suvstancially longer than the other #and i feel like its being allowed?? #like no this should not be allowed

like they said this in their response but when I go to look up Sydney sweeny the FIRST article that comes up is one discussing how sam Levinson disgustingly sexualises and harms the actresses in his work and I know this isn't the best example to use AT ALL but I wonder why they came out and proclaimed nobody is talking about how the same thing and even worse happens to actresses and famous women and girls when for years I have been reading articles about this kind of thing.

(written 3 days ago)

and the initial article isnt the best, by claiming to end misogyny is for women to do to men what they do to women but they didn't even bring that up, just "how come this article exists?" as if people are not currently talking abt this happening to women right now. a circulating tumblr post is not the entire landscape of the internet! and all I said in my response was 'this article existing isn't really taking away from anything.... like at the end of the day sexual harassment is wrong regardless of who it is happening to

(og post)

#like i understand what theyre saying but why was it this post and article that got this reaction out of them #im bored so yea i am going to talk about this #i am in no way saying that what happens to women doesn't matter I'm simply saying that it shouldn't be a crime to also bring this up idk #and especially considering that alot of this conversation leaves out things like RACE. black men are hypersexualised #by white ppl regardless of gender all the time. black girls (as in CHILDREN) are consistently hypersexualised and that #gets even less coverage than anything else.... i don't think this article existing is.... terrible #junkieboyfriend #but im blocked anyway so none of this matters 😭

#transandrophobia #as i have said before the idea that transandrophobia is real is ignorant of what the term transmisogyny as an intersectional term means #and implies that systemic oppression of men as a class regardless of race sexuality or assigned gender is real #while toxic masculinity exists that isnt the same thing #'transandrophobia' as it exists as a term is used to just mean 'transphobia that i experience as a trans man'#and ive seen it used to talk about anything from denial of medical access to misgendering and deadnaming #none of which is solely a transmasculine experience and to say it is really shows that none of you guys talk to trans women or transfems #get your heads out of your asses and think about what your special word for your special hurt feelings implies about intersectionality #because im tired of seeing it #and i love swatting at hornets nests #<3

i think a lot more ppl need to get comfortable with the fact that some ppl self describe as ugly not as a way to tear themselves down but as an acknowledgement of the beauty standards that exist and how, even with "expanding" the definition of beauty, we still Do Not fit into that expansion and NO amount of expansion of beauty ideals is going to change that.

#personal #vent?#idk i just think a lot abt my existence as an ugly person #i think i am great!#and i am also aware i am ugly even in spaces where the “weird” and “odd” is celebrated #and im okay with that now because i know i am never going to fit into beauty standards #even when i tried to hide who i was i never could #and this isnt abt white cishets needing to get comfortable w this concept either #like yeah we can spread positivity calling everyone beautiful la la l a #but also ppl have worth out of their beauty #and some of us are PAINFULLY aware that the only time we're seen as “beautiful” is when we're useful to others #ie: sex objects or romantic interests or caretakers #like this is prevalent in LITERALLY every space ive been in regardless of the ground rules set #and as someone who has Always been in the undesireable category its weird seeing ppl pretend that it doesnt exist #but ppl esp desireable ppl who know there is somewhere they are desired dont actually wanna think abt it #bc desirability is linked to the ability to conform to white standards of beauty in some manner #whether is weight or race or sexuality or gender presentation #the list of traits goes on #there's a lot more to this and a lot more thoughts i have i honestly just dont wanna keep writing it #maybe i will come back and edit these tags

I really hate it when people hate on boys when they wear skirts. Especially women.

Like- now it's completely normal and no one bats an eye but only like- what last century women weren't even "allowed" to wear pants. They had to fight tooth and nail to even wear something in resemblance to pants.

"He who is ignorant of history is condemned to relive it" - Kennedy

We already had this fight once and won, okay. So don't try to start another losing battle.

So next time- whoever it is- sits down and starts to write/say something hateful to someone who's wearing a skirt (or whatever they please) because they're not "fem or not female enough" for you, just stfu.

#you already know they have a whole army of people ready to defend them #and people wearing skirts is nobodies business but their own #regardless less of their gender ethnicity religion race or nationality #like it really doesn't matter what other people do as long as they're not hurting you #and no wearing a skirt is not hurting you #period #justice for the people #we are all people here

finished the (current version of the) dei statement for relevant applications. i’m not sure i did a good job, but i did my best to balance ‘real equity is fundamentally at odds with the present iteration of the university and therefore i am obligated to side Against the institution no matter my position’ with ‘i have a personal stake in trying to transform the university into a more equitable space and here is how i plan on doing that.’
