bullet points cause i’m too fucking tired to do anything else: 
if you buy h0gwarts l3gacy you’re actively feeding a TERF. you’re giving her money. you’re helping her profit. full stop. idgaf if you rpf or consume or write hp fanfic--fuck, i write hp fanfic to try and make it what it could have been and to process my feelings about the foundational fucking series of my childhood being so absolutely grotesquely coopted and destroyed--but if you buy any fucking hp merch or have anything to do with it at this point monetarily we are fucking done. 
if you buy h0gwarts l3gacy you’re contributing to the active transformation of hp into antisemitic, transphobic, white supremacist dogwhistles. people are getting fucking death threats. this is not a fucking joke. this game was written by an antisemite and it is worse than even my worst nightmares. do not fucking touch it. 
if the two above points don’t convince you, fucking unfollow and block me. i can’t deal with this shit. i don’t know how to make it clearer that funding this game is funding TERF and antisemitic rhetoric in a way that will kill people. if you choose to do it anyway, i want nothing to do with you at all.

do u really not see the difference btwn writing fanfic on the internet and buying a game whose storyline is actively being written by white supremacists and having the money go directly into the pocket of the most vocal & influential terf in the UK? that's not even touching all of the other racist and offensive bs in her series inc her antisemitism, appropriating first nations cultures, her asian racism, etc? i guess thats why you dont have 'antisemitics dni' on your blog
First, let me be clear – I do not give one single shit about Harry Potter. They are the best memories of my extremely shitty adolescence, I still read fanfic from time to time, but other than that, if I never hear the word "Harry Potter" again it will be too soon. I care about the fact that you clowns are
encouraging bullies and endangering mentally ill marginalized fans
leeching the air from leftist and queer discourse
fuelling a Western culture war that distracts from combating systemic transphobia
making suffering Black and brown communities, who mostly see white and Western trans people, think that trans people don't have any real problems beyond video games
Now, on to your ask:
I said never said not buying the game was the same as writing fanfic on the internet. I said that the furor over buying the game is leading to everyone who had anything to do with Harry Potter, including just writing fanfic, being bullied. I've had to unfollow so many people for reblogging posts attacking people for being in the *fandom*.
Asking people to refrain from doing something to prove that they care, especially demanding that they don't, has never in the history of activism worked. Black people have been speaking out against copaganda shows forever and STILL get harrassed. Indigenous people have been asking people to boycott Avatar and gotten nothing. Some people comply, but more do the thing simply out of contrarianism, and the entire issue becomes a culture war divided along political affiliation. People on the right go out of their way to do the thing, the people on the center and center-left won't really care, and people who identify as leftist divorce themselves even more from the rest of the left as being no better than the right, which eventually devastating results when it comes to actual elections and agitating for political change.
What works a lot better is harm reduction. Pirating is harm reduction, asking the HP fandom to offset JKR's fuckery by making their own merch, promoting indie games and donating to trans healthcare funds is harm reduction. People won't stand for being policed, but they like giving and also not paying for stuff with a clear conscience. You would have raised so much fucking money and promoted so many different things in all this time you've spent giving the game negative engagement clicks and keeping it trending on social media so long after its release.
You keep insisting that people shouldn't be fans because JKR equals her fandom with her own influence. This is called buying into the right-wing narrative. The woman is delusional (I can't think of a non-ableist word atm, and I honestly think that she's not all stable) and you're enabling her and her terf cult. We created the online HP fandom ourselves back in the aughts, before there was any merch, before movie rights were ever sold to WB, a full decade before her advertising machine ever woke up to the fact that an internet fandom existed. JKR has lost relevance for HP fans a long time ago; imagine the slap in the face for her if the fandom starts countering her bigotry by very prominently engaging in trans activism? The JKR terf cult in the HP fandom are a minority, like TERFs themselves (they're only so loud because the right-wing promotes the shit out of them). The vast majority of fans are just the kind of vaguely well-meaning cis people who don't agree with transphobes but are pretty ignorant about trans issues. And I do mean the vast majority, because literally a billion people grew up on her books and only a bare fraction is on social media at all, and even fewer even see the leftist drive to boycott the franchise.
Let's talk demographics. Because of the aforementioned vastness of consumers, the majority of HP fans are cis het, abled, neurotypical Millennials. Because of the way internet penetration works, the majority of HP fans online and even in fandom are white or Western. Leftist spaces mostly attract young and marginalized people, and transformative fandom is full of neurodivergent women and queer people. Which means the majority of people you're reaching are young queer neurodivergent people who have limited economic power themselves. And the people most vulnerable to and impacted by policing and harrassment are trans, Black and brown, Jewish, mentally ill, poor. Do you see the problem? You're policing the very bottom rungs of the socio-economic ladder on the off-chance of maybe influencing a privileged few who might give a damn.
This is literally why we say that boycotts, especially over social media, don't fucking work. Firstly because they penalize the most disenfranchised consumers, it's hard to reach enough people to even explain why they matter, it's hard to keep up with the constant discourse and changing information, and it relies entirely on performance. Someone can stay quiet or nod along furiously to whatever you're saying and then just...go out and buy the thing. Social censure doesn't work when you have the option of not having to face the consequences. Contrary to hellsite opinion, the Fantastic Beasts franchise died because it sucked, and Harry Potter is dying because it's fading from relevance and JKR is being an embarrassment. The wider market doesn't even know y'all exist.
As for the game being racist and antisemitic...you come on my blog, a South Asian who has been in fandom for twenty years, and try to tell me about racism in media???? NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF ALL MEDIA IS RACIST AND ANTISEMITIC YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWN. I'm from South Asia, our children grow up on books written by colonizers! LORD OF THE RINGS is white supremacy! NARNIA is white supremacy! Disney and Marvel is one of the biggest figures in US military industrial complex that razed the Middle East to the ground. It's so ubiquitous that we have to accept the racism and white supremacy as a matter of course to engage with any Western media! And even then fandom is so racist it's hard to even exist in it! We get run out of it when we try to talk about it. You suck on white supremacy every single day you live like it's your Mum's teat! Do you know what it's like to hear whiteys ranting that people who consume this one game they hate are being antisemitic and racist??? While still fawning??? Over cop shows???? And Disney???? And sending Black people??? Death threats??? Over a game???
I don't say "anti-Semites DNI" for the same reason I don't say "racists DNI". Nobody identifies as a racist or antisemite, that's not how systemic oppression works. Radfem and Zionist and Communist are political identities. Radical feminism is underpinned by transphobia and racism, Zionism is currently entrenched in Palestine occupation, Western communists refuse to acknowledge USSR and Global South genocides. See how that works?
Bitch, you didn't just come at me about JKR's indigenous cultural appropriation when I was among the few who were trying to discourage people from supporting Fantastic Beasts back in 2016 and literally got flamed for it. You people did not give a single shit about Natives back then, and you don't give one now. Just like you don't actually care about Jews and never did. I literally never heard about why and how openly alt-right people keep getting this kind of power and position in the gaming industry. Conversations about antisemitism in gaming and antisemitic tropes in entertainment haven't gotten this much traction. No wider revelations about how entertainment media directly funding and promoting social harms. But sure, it's about antisemitism and racism and has absolutely nothing to do with a mess of white queers realizing they can weaponize it like a cudgel against anyone they believe are against them. We know you whites. You care about excuses to take the moral high ground without having to do any self-interrogation or cost to yourself.
Finally, to give y'all one example of where the current discourse around this stupid shit is at:
Tumblr media
Fuck you.

Did you know that in a public forum such as tumblr, unless you take privacy precautions, women you disagree with can interact with your posts about adorable spiky birds?
Did you know that I still don’t want them to because they’re terfs and don’t think that I should exist as I do because I’m a nonbinary person? Did you know that I would feel the same way about it if a conservative Republican interacted? Did you know that “terfs don’t touch my posts” is in my bio and that is pretty much all the privacy precautions I can take on this god forsaken hellsite? Did you know that you should just respect other people’s wishes regarding you interacting with them, and you should also respect how they want to be referred to as?
It has nothing to do with you being a ~woman~ I disagree with. You’re a transphobe and a piece of shit. You share ideology with white supremacists and Nazis. You don’t deserve the cute animal videos. Go fuck yourself

Just want to remind people that “Black women face pressure to be as hyperfeminine as possible by white standards in order to be seen as women and are held to a higher standard of femininity because they’re inherently seen as less feminine than other races of women and thus having to play it up more to make up for what they apparently ‘lack’.” and “Black women should by all means be allowed to embrace their own hyperfemininity and being girly and feminine can be powerful for them because society all too often strips Black women of their femininity and tries to force them into a masculine role, so they should be allowed to reclaim it and find power in it on their own terms because they are just as feminine as any other race of women and should not be made to feel otherwise, because femininity isn’t and shouldn’t be inherently correlated to whiteness.” are two statements that can and should coexist.

So I've been playing Death Stranding lately. Wait, that's not what this post is about. Well, it kind of is. Hang on. What is Death Stranding about?
A: Norman Reedus getting bare ass naked B. Sneaking around ghosts with the help of your sidekick, an actual baby C: Carrying 50 Amazon packages up a hill while trying to not topple over D: Waking up in the morning and drinking 5 Monster Energy™ for breakfast
For those following along at home, the answer is actually none of the above. Despite the set dressing being bizarre to the point of near absurdity, what the game is actually about, like thematically, is actually really simple.
See, the development of Death Stranding was actually quite a trip. Hideo Kojima is the video game world's equivalent of an auteur director. He has a very recognizable personal style. It's thoroughly horny – he caught a bunch of shit for the design of Quiet in MGSV, but like, a lot of Kojima characters are just -like that-, including the dudes. Also, this is going to possibly be important later.
Anyway, so Kojima was going to do a rebootmakequel of Silent Hill, and the demo actually made it to the PS store and I could actually write a whole side essay about why P.T. (it was called P.T. for some reason btw) was brilliant game design for how it used the same hallway over and over and it was somehow beneficial to the overall feeling of horror. So Konami it turns out kinda sucks nowadays and they like, fired Kojima (they were huge dicks about it behind closed doors, too) and scrapped the project and kicked him out on the street and kept the Metal Gear series which was his baby (literally the baby in the sink in P.T., he snuck a bunch of messaging about the Konami situation into the demo like a breakup album) and Kojima would go on to form his own studio and poach some of the people who worked with him to boot. So the thing about Kojima is this: he's got a reputation for already putting some wild shit in his games, like a ladder that takes like 10 real time minutes to climb in MGS3 for dramatic effect, and a boss in MGS3 that summons the ghosts of all the people you were too lazy to stealth past and killed, or a sniper battle with a really old guy that he wanted to have last two weeks or some shit until he died of old age but he was "told that "this was impossible and not recommended." That is a real quote I just looked up. So he's coming off the heels of making this hugely successful game with MGSV and the hype of the P.T. Demo and he fucking, he like took all the people that were going to be working on P.T. Along like Guillermo Del Toro was going to co-write it and Norman Reedus was going to star in it, and he's like, I'm going to make this game called Death Stranding. And the first trailer comes out for it and it's completely nuts. Norman Reedus wakes up naked on a beach crying with a baby and there are floating people in the sky? So we're all like hooooooly shit, there's no one to tell him "this is impossible and not recommended" anymore. What's he going to make now!?
So the whole time the game is in development I keep seeing these tweets where it'll be like, Kojima and one of his homies smiling with some saccharine message about being spiritual warriors and changing the world. And not just Del Toro and Reedus, there was Mads Mikkelsen (another guy Kojima puts in the game just because he apparently loves him), and the band Chvches, and also like, Keanu Reeves at one point? You know how everyone has just kind of accepted that Keanu is a being of light? Here he was endorsing Kojima. The hype was pretty confused and frantic.
The game eventually comes out. A lot of game journos hate it because I think there was this expectation it was going to be, you know, less weird and have more of the conventional structure of a video game. That's not to say the average gamer wasn't also dismissive of it, but I think on the ground level there was more of an understanding that like, yeah, Kojima just be like that sometimes.
Because the game was a timed console exclusive and your homie don't play like that, I spent the first year or so cautiously viewing Death Stranding from a distance. I wasn't sure I was going to like it – except for being really impressed with P.T., I wasn't actually a big fan of Kojima's games as games – but I -was- sure that I was going to buy it, because of the way Konami fucked him over, just out of support. And the shit I was hearing was really out there. The primary mode of gameplay is just delivery packages. You collect Norman Reedus' bathwater and pee and use it as grenades. You get a motorcycle that looks like the one from AMC's The Ride with Norman Reedus, and when you sit on it, his character in the game says "Wow, this thing is like the one from AMC's The Ride with Norman Reedus!"
youtube
But I didn't really want to know that much about it. Something has that much fucking crazy person energy, you want to go in mostly blind, right? So maybe people just weren't talking about this, or maybe I wasn't seeing it, but then I watched Girlfriend Reviews' video about it and they came right out and said it (link provided if you want to hear Shelby say it more articulately than me):
youtube
Death Stranding is basically about the exact opposite of Twitter. It's about remembering how to be kind to each other, how to reconnect in a world where people are so often hostile to each other by default. Prophetically, it's about a world where people are afraid to go outside or touch other people and how damaging that is. It's not a game about carrying packages, it's a game about helping people by being brave enough to walk through a wasteland carrying their burdens because they can't. It's about rebuilding the lost connections between people, about restoring roads and giving people hope. I bet, for Kojima and the people close to him, it's about how to answer hostility with compassion. You can't kill people in Death Stranding. You can and are absolutely encouraged to fucking throw hands with people sometimes, but all the tools and weapons are nonlethal. So I think Kojima took all the Twitter heat he got over the Quiet nontroversy, and all the feelings of isolation he had from Konami separating him from his team during the end of the development of MGSV, and all the support and encouragement he got from his bros Del Toro and Mads and the rest, and decided to channel that into making a game that was a statement about all of it. And sure, it's a little heavy handed, and sure, it's a little saccharine, and sure, the gameplay sometimes borders on miserable in service of creating emotional payoffs. For me, especially in 2020, this message is a huge success. Social media should be an opportunity for all of us to feel more connected to each other, yet primarily it feels like one of the main forces driving people apart. Why is that? Why is the internet of today such a hostile place? I'm old enough to remember web 1.0: I can haz cheezburger memes; YTMND; the early wild west days of Youtube... What happened to us? I've thrown the blame at Twitter in the past, and I think the architecture of the user experience on Twitter is absolutely a big piece of the puzzle, because it fosters negative interactions. But in terms of the behavior, people have observed that 2018 Twitter was actually almost exactly like 2014 Tumblr. (For the record, Tumblr is now one of the chillest places left on the internet, because so few fucks are left to give.)
I think part of it is the anonymity. The dehumanizing disconnection of the separation of screens and miles. Louis CK, before he was cancelled, had a great point about cyberbullying, and why it's so much more savage than kids are IRL. When you pick on someone in person and you are confronted with seeing the pain you caused them, for most sane people it causes negative feedback and you become disgusted with your actions and eventually learn to stop being a shithead. Online, at best you can "break the wrist, walk away".
youtube
At worst, you can become addicted to "clout chasing" and the psychological thrill of being cheered on by your social ingroup. It's even worse if you feel like it's not bullying and your actions are justified because whoever you've targeted is a bad person so you don't have to feel bad about what you do to them. This is where reductive, unhelpful catchphrases like "punch a nazi" come in. For every argument, one or both sides have convinced themselves that the other side is subhuman because their beliefs are so disgusting. And sometimes it's even true! A lot of times, especially these days, people really are acting like animals or worse online. Entire disinformation engines are roaring day and night, churning out garbage and cluttering the social consciousness. (Kojima talked about this bit, too, way back in MGS2. As if I wasn't already in danger of losing my thread through this.)
youtube
The human brain was not built to live like this. You can't wake up every morning, roll over and open your phone, and be immediately faced with a tidal wave of anger and indignity. It wasn't built to be aware of fully how horrible the world is at any moment ALL AT ONCE, ALL THE TIME. And you will be. Because of another way that our brain works – the way we are more likely to share negative opinions. And because of the cottage industry built on farming outrage clicks, and because of constant performative activism.
It's not that I don't agree that being informed is important.
It's not that I don't agree that the causes people get riled up about are important.
They are. They absolutely are.
But we can't keep living like this. The constant, unending flood of tragedy, arguments, and hot takes. How much of the negativity we associate with online culture is the product of this feedback loop? What if the rise of doomer culture has been, if not entirely created by, has been nourished and exacerbated by our hostile attitudes toward each other?  Incels and TERFs, white supremacists, radfems, tankies and Trumpers – it seems like on every side of every issue, there are people simultaneously getting it wrong in multiple directions at once and there are more being radicalized every day. They are the toxic waste left behind by the state of discourse. And any hill is a hill worth dying on.
So what am I actually advocating? I don't know. There are a lot of fights going on right now that are important and we can't just climb into bunkers and ignore our problems hoping that Norman Reedus and his fine ass are going to leave the shit we need on our doorsteps. We need to find the strength to carry those hypothetical packages for ourselves sometimes - and hopefully, for others as well. Humans are social creatures. We need interaction and enrichment.
We need love.
So just try to remember the connections between humanity. Try to put more good stuff into the world when you can. Share more shitposts and memes. Tell your friends and family that you love them. Share good news when you hear it. Go on a weird fucking tangent about Death Stranding. Find a way to "be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes."

the whole sentiment of ‘cis women are good pure angels who are incapable of hurting anyone’ is sooo fucking pervasive and evil.  Like obviously terfs weaponize it, and conservatives throw in some more obvious misogyny with it, but you even see it in so-called trans acceptance spaces with the way trans men and afab nonbinary people are infantilized, and frankly that’s the most entry level feminism that most people are ever exposed to.  The most basic girlboss feminist take will usually have an element of ‘don’t you love when it’s just women around and you can finally feel comfortable’ or whatever.
And like, I’m not into disclosing my trauma online, but I have never automatically felt safe just because there are only women around.  Cis women are just as capable of doing disgusting shit as men are, and maybe this is just my personal experience, but there are a lot of people who have horrific stories of assault and abuse at the hands of cis women that they don’t share or don’t even recognize as abuse because our society has fully conditioned people to think that women are incapable of doing wrong!  And that’s without even touching on the way women will reinforce existing patriarchal norms against gnc women, trans people, women of color, and how reticent people are to hold racists and abusers accountable just because they are cis women!  Look at how hard people bend over backwards to make excuses for the wives of white supremacist men without knowing a fucking thing about them except that they are women.  Even when they openly perpetuate the same bigotry as their husbands.
And like, I know that the victims of women are in the minority, and I don’t want to minimize the massive amounts of violence perpetuated by men against women (both cis and trans).  Gendered oppression is real, and institutionalized, and needs to be talked about, but doing so by just saying that cis women are automatically victims does nothing to actually combat misogyny.

A list of reasons I’m divorcing J.K. Rowling and no longer acknowledging anything Past Deathly Hallows
None of it makes sense or really adds anything to the story except ‘ooh! A twist!’
She took the The Boy Who Lived To Idolize His Parents, and made him into a terrible father, who told his son he wishes he wasn’t born.
Made lycanthropy an allegory for HIV/AIDS, AFTER Lupin was turned as a child, by an adult. Not only does this tick the box for pedophilia, but painting homosexuals as predatory by nature.
Delphi. Everything about her. Including that she exists.
During the actual series, wandless magic was incredibly difficult to do, and only harnessed by very dedicated, powerful witches and wizards. Then, when writing about it in reference to Native American witches and wizards, suddenly, they needed Europeans to come along and teach them how to use wands.
Dumbledore being gay, whilst having none of his romantic relationships touched on in the series, even when his adolescence is delved into.
Taking from other cultures (Indian and Native American, for example) to add things to the series, with no credit due to those cultures, and no mention of even a character from those cultures.
Nagini somehow being a human originally, when it was previously never even alluded to, despite J.K. apparently ‘sitting on this for the last 20 years’.
Nagini, the literal PET of a white supremacist, was a woman of color.
Outside of the series, JK Rowling is a known TERF.
None of these things she attempts to shoehorn in feel even remotely natural to the story, and it’s painfully fucking obvious they’re last-minute ‘gotcha!’ twists ripped off ff.net or ao3. She’s destroying the series by trying to keep it relevant, when it could maintain relevancy all on it’s own by being passed down through families and the fandom all on it’s own.

A reminder of the past.
Yeah, I’ve mentioned before how radical feminism occupied this magical donut hole in the past, right? How radical feminism got the benefits of feminism’s reputation and validity, while feminism did not get the negative stigma that comes like having a white supremacist confederate amongst a group of republicans. “Ah, see. they’re all like that” only applies to certain groups and never to others. Selectively.
For some reason, you were not even allowed to acknowledge the “negative parts” of radical feminism were attributable to radical feminism, if they acknowledged they existed at all, because that meant it incriminated feminism as a group. They would NOT cast out nor decry nor rebuke it, the way they expect republicans and conservatives to constantly rebuke and decry white supremacism in America just because some happen to be conservatives and share their party.
It was actual gaslighting, because they’d doublethink, hide in omission, shut off conversations that brought this incongruity to light and then accuse you of hating feminism or women’s liberation and sovereignty at all if you spoke up against this contradiction. They’d insist that radfems didn’t exist or didn’t matter, and that their stuff was fringe. When in fact, those same scholars and radical texts were EVERY BIT as valid and part and parcel beneath the feminist tent. You just weren’t ALLOWED to see feminism in a negative light UNLESS you were a male chauvinist or white supremacist, and so radical feminism successfully used it as a shield.
Until the day they diverged from Gender Theorism and declares “trans women are men.” Then SUDDENLY, they became TERFs. And the movement ripped out its own dripping, palsied, black heart and chucked it off the ivory tower. Now they were acknowledge and rebuked, but only because they were transphobes. Then anything they touched was poison and bigotry. They could be considered prejudiced, not victims, because they were misandrist to trans men and transmisogynist to women.
Well. Last night I met someone that insisted, when I talked about TERFs, that “those aren’t REAL feminists. Those are matriarchists.”
Fuck you. This is the equivalent of saying, “The conservatives/republicans are not racist at all in the least. Bugger history, bugger the ACTUAL RACISTS and white supremacists in the Kato Institute and such in various conservative thinktanks. Bugger Confederate-sympathizers in the Deep Souf. You can’t say conservatives/republicans are racist or sexist just because a few are, even if those ones that are are helping shape and write criminal justice and social services policy and gerrymandering districts.”
That is, factually, the equivalent. Radical Feminists helped shape policy for women and the family court system as well as just about every fucking policy to advance women in business and school, using public funds or changing policy to entitle women. And they were motivated by a gynosupremacist mindset. And they were every bit as “real feminist” as the Karens.
But once again, women can never fuck up as a group, no matter what that group does or whom and what groups inside of it contain or what they do. So long as at least one woman in that group of assholes is innocent, all are innocent. Conversely, if there’s so much as one man guilty of a thing, all men around him are potentially guilty of the thing, so they’re by extension guilty of the thing.
God. It’s even worse than apologists who say the church can do no wrong and whom write off long lasting cultures of abuse, neglect and exploitation as purely attached to mortal frailty of individuals. Feminism can never be guilty of anything. While all you have to do is be white and do something alone and of your own crazy volition, and it magically incriminates an entire background of people.
God forbid the golden calf get mud on it and be accountable and take the heat for the shit people purporting to be part of that group do. God forbid everybody else does not get associated with the largesse or individual assholery just because some lone actor CLAIMS to be acting on behalf of “that group’s” interests. A whole fucking DOCTRINE and literary CULTURE of philosophy sharing literature and beliefs and sentiment and ideology escapes culpability when you can trace their shared beliefs and actions and thought processes back to refractive groups attached to source ones by doctrine. But an asshole like Dylan Roof claims his crazy bullshit is on behalf of “protecting white people?” Wow, clearly it’s proof positive of a big culture-wide conspiracy.
The mental gymnastics that thinks it’s fucking clever is what burns me up the most. These people have codified mental abuse and justified it as “necessary” to their cause.

i’ve gained a bunch of new followers recently because some of my popular posts have been going around again. now, i do have a “before following” page, and it’s easy to access even on mobile, but i know not all of you read that shit. here’s the important stuff:
no bigotry of any kind permitted here. that means no racism, no misogyny, no transphobia, no islamophobia, no antisemitism, no ableism, no blah blah blah. if i see that from any of my followers i will block you
no terfs. i feel like this should be obvious, i’m a Genderist™ and i’m dating two trans women, but in case you’re that fucking thick: if you’re a transmisogynist of any variety i want you A) dead and B) gone
no swerfs either. i don’t talk about sex work much on this blog bc i’m not a sex worker and i don’t know many people who are but if you exclude sex workers from your politics then bye, nasty
if you believe in any sort of reverse oppression you’re a damn fool and i don’t wanna hear it. reverse racism isn’t real, (trans)misandry isn’t real, heterophobia and cisphobia are both fuckin fake, etc. 
any sorta anti-SJ people are not welcome here. being critical of SJ circles is fine and encouraged but if you’re one of those people who thinks “SJWs” are ruining the internet or whatever, shut up and get the fuck out. i’m going to fuck your wife now
if you think “narcissistic abuse” is a thing or that people with NPD are abusers, do not follow me, do not interact with me, do not breathe in my direction. i have NPD and am an abuse survivor so... this one’s personal
no fuckin pedo apologists. if you think pedophiles are just mentally ill, if you think it’s alright to consume nsfw of minors because “it’s just fandom” or “fiction doesn’t affect reality” or whatever, if you support “non-offending” pedophiles, if you think anyone has the right to create or consume child porn for any reason, do not touch my damn blog
if you have any sympathy at all for the “alt-right” or any other fascist/neo-nazi movement. if you’re a white nationalist, white supremacist, anything like that, or sympathize with those people at all
full byf is here

I just genuinely can’t wrap my brain around why t*rfs are the way they are. Like. Yes, men are majority responsible for a litany of horrible crimes and yes as a society we need to do something about it, but both cis and trans women are common targets for those crimes. Does anyone deserve to be a victim of violence? No. (Except pedophiles and fascists but that’s a different post.) Beyond that, what planet do these people live on that they think men are going to put on feminine clothes so they can sexually harass people in the women’s bathroom??? The kinds of men that are (usually) committing those kinds of crimes are so far gone to toxic masculinity that they don’t wash their own ass, let alone have the wherewithal to put on a spirit Halloween wig and heels. Idk this is just me rambling and being mad that there are still people out there who hate other people for being who they are and other reasons that don’t make sense and are not rational or backed up scientifically but like. Cmon.
Since terfs got a hold of this post:
Terfs don’t fucking touch this, I’m not engaging with you because you’re too far gone to transphobia and I’m not interested in discourse. Eat shit and die along with your fascist white supremacist friends ❤️
