Ok so OP has turned off reblogs so

What the fuck. Like seriously, what the actual fuck?

So I guess boys who were raped by their mothers weren't actually raped! I guess the current definition of rape (which I will copy down below) makes you mad because Ooooh Men BAD grrr >:(

But seriously? Shut the fuck up. Because trust me, I know women that have seen me as just someone for the taking, same as men.

You're acting like women and girls getting raped by men is the worst type and that the others ones aren't as bad, so fuck you for that.

Please don't harrass OP

soulless sam back to back with once they get sam's soul is insanity-inducing because you watch dean go from wanting to kill sam in his sleep to treating him like the world's fragilest glass menagerie in the span of one episode. And its both literally just sam

Does ink has disorder of any kind?

I assume this is related to Ink in Perseverance lol. Okay, s o. I tend to write Ink with some tendencies that I have because it's easier to write more realistic depictions of things if I draw from my own life as inspiration lmao. As such, the only thing I am confident saying he has is social anxiety, as that is the only thing that I'm officially diagnosed with.

That said, I've seen people comment that he displays depressive tendencies, as well as having vivid flashbacks and tends to dissociate as what is sometimes typical of PTSD. Since I mostly write these things based off of personal experience, I am hesitant to say he has these things lol, especially since "mental health testing" doesn't exist in my world as much.

Does that mean he doesn't have them?? E e e e h h. Let's just say the only thing I am 100% sure in saying he has is social anxiety✧˖°.

I am going to express an opinion that might upset some people and before I do I want to say that I have not played v5.1-5.2 yet (I'm not loving genshin atm). Now that I got that out of the way:

But Capitano is not as interesting of a character as I assumed he'd be. When his rank was first revealed, I assumed he would be one of the more fascinating harbingers that we have - naturally, as he's the first of them. But all we have so far is Capitano being kind; chivalrous; helpful; considerate. And don't get me wrong - that's not bad at all. In fact, it's interesting because how did someone as good as Capitano wind up working with people like Dottore? My issue is that there's literally nothing else to Capitano other than his goodness. This, combined with the usual Khaenri'ahn angst, is all he is. There is no complexity to him unless you start desperately reaching for it. Among all the Khaenri'ahn characters we've met so far, Capitano is the odd one out because he lacks depth. He's likeable, he's charming, but he failed to keep my attention because I cannot analyze him like I analyze other genshin characters. And before you say "that's because we still don't know him well"- we don't know Dain or Dottore thoroughly either, yet they're two of my favorite characters in the game because they have so much depth that you can pick up on in literally any scene they're in. Capitano, unfortunately, feels shallow to me, which is sad because I really, truly wanted to love him.

Like I'm not World's Number One Slave Labour And Job Insecurity Lover there's very obvious criticism to be made of it but some of u guys see the acronym 'AI' and start foaming at the mouth. Misinformation is at the forefront of issues with mass-implementation of 'AI' so it's kind of galling to see people go red light ready to believe anything as long as it appeals to their pathos

Sleep well, and I'll break this down.

"because tme and tma don't mean what you think they mean. They aren't a "new afab/amab binary" though that's a common misconception/lie about transfeminism. As someone else already mentioned to you, the term tme is applicable to both cis men and cis women generally, which already shows how that claim is untrue." Ahh, but I didn't say it was a new afab/amab binary, I said it was a binary based off of agab, which it is, considering the fact that the only way to be considered "TMA" is to be amab and it creates a new binary. The fact that it moves the goalposts doesn't mean shit.

"Ultimately the question of definitions comes to "who is the intended/primary target of transmisogyny?" with the obvious answer being transfems (disagreement on this is in effect making the term transmisogyny so broad and devoid of meaning that it is no longer useful. "if everything is transmisogyny, nothing is")"

Transmisogyny is the intersection between transphobia and misogyny which people, mainly transfems experience. To say only transfems experience transmisogyny is, to put it lightly, stupid as fuck and I'm sure we can both agree on that. Everyone has been affected by transmisogyny at some point in their life even if they don't know it.

Now, if the definition is "Transmisogyny, otherwise known as trans-misogyny and transphobic misogyny, is the intersection of transphobia and misogyny as experienced by trans women and transfeminine people." then how come TMA excludes people who were assigned female at birth (again, something that has nothing to do with your SIG or your sexual organs), yet still transfeminine or a trans woman? It makes no sense and this exclusionary binary then does not benefit the people it claims to benefit.

"disagreement on this is in effect making the term transmisogyny so broad and devoid of meaning that it is no longer useful. "if everything is transmisogyny, nothing is"' But that's not what people are saying. Not EVERYTHING is transmisogyny, but everything is affected by transmisogyny because unfortunately every type of oppression intersects in some way. Just because the definition applies to different types of people does not mean it's useless. Implying someone is being feminine in the "wrong way" is transmisogynistic, whether it's targeted at a trans woman or not.

"It then follows that the next question is "define transfem", often with caveats "without using agab". I honestly have started treating this as very comparable to the demand to "define the word woman"' Well, luckily I didn't ask you to do that and I agree, it is too complex of a subject for any definition to not exclude at least one person. Gender is weird as fuck and the fact that it is created by society means that it's definitions are forever changing and will never be the same for any two people, but that's part of the beauty of our world.

"The intention is to entrap the other person by demanding a simple answer to a complex question. In this case a pragmatic but oversimplified answer will be grounds to claim that it is excluding [insert specific counter example]." I still don't know why you brought this up. The only time I've ever seen someone ask someone else to define what transfem means is when they are trying to "not allow" someone else to identify as transfem, which is a valid counter ask.

Like I already said, sleep well, and feel free to respond or not. I apologize for being somewhat aggresive in the beginning of our conversation.

going to start using this for every dipshit post i see on here

Oh awesome prosh1ppers are now blaming csa victims for being assaulted because some victims spoke up about their assaulters, who were fixated on fictional incest and pedophila.

So their solution is that the ones were assaulted and raped are in the wrong/it affecting reality is out of their control (wrong btw. You posted it publicly.) Prosh1p do not send me any messages. If any still goddamn follow me I want you to leave

I don’t argue I’m too affected as a csa victim and I’m so tired. If you defend proshit don’t bother gloating that you got blocked for harassing me. It sucks

Siiggggh every time I make a post speaking up about them causing absurd types of harm I get harassed. You really want the people you harm the most to be silent and convenient huh

[johnnyinmysilverhand]

my cardinal sin is that i will always end up in a youtube argument just cause i say things like "it's fun to have fun" and "hey guys the person who said this most heinous thing is obviously just bait and i don't know how you're all falling for it" or maybe even a "what if the world was made of syrup and ice cream"

LOL often times people that carry the child are actually very close to the people that are going to care for the child. And some people actually enjoy pregnancy! Also surrogacy isn't the only option for money, for example there's sex work (including online!) and many other options!

Also, some people want to have a biological child which is ok! It doesn't mean they're obsessed with their genes. I personally would like to have one biological child and foster older children when I'm able to (mentally, physically, and financially).

Let me remind you that all people consent when it comes to surrogacy.

Why does Alan force me to debate whether or not entire populations of the human population "have souls" or "are evil" by nature?

Why is every conversation with our father lately a damn debate? I do not enjoy debating the existence or "inherent morality" of minority groups.

am considering fanart* through the lens of the theory ive been reading (a lot of marxist and poststructuralist stuff rn but also all the modern things from other classes) and i firmly believe that it springs from lacking elements in the source material and i think that the thing that is most often lacking is human touch

*works created in response to but not in conversation with media (also a critical distinction)

Photography was invented in the 1820s and though it remained a fledgling technology in the few decades thereafter, many artists and art critics still saw it as a threat, as the artist Henrietta Clopath voiced in a 1901 issue of Brush and Pencil: "The fear has sometimes been expressed that photography would in time entirely supersede the art of painting. Some people seem to think that when the process of taking photographs in colors has been perfected and made common enough, the painter will have nothing more to do."

...

When critics weren’t wringing their hands about photography, they were deriding it. They saw photography merely as a thoughtless mechanism for replication, one that lacked, “that refined feeling and sentiment which animate the productions of a man of genius,” as one expressed in an 1855 issue of The Crayon. As long as “invention and feeling constitute essential qualities in a work of Art,” the writer argued, “Photography can never assume a higher rank than engraving. At best, critics viewed photography as a useful tool for painters to record scenes that they may later more artfully render with their brushes. “Much may be learned about drawing by reference to a good photograph, that even a man of quick natural perceptions would be slow to learn without such help,” wrote one in an 1865 issue of The New Path. But the writer’s appreciation ended there. Photography couldn’t qualify as an art in its own right, the explanation went, because it lacked “something beyond mere mechanism at the bottom of it.
