#warning rant

[cookierunconfessionblog]

I don’t think people should be talking about subjects if they can’t actually use the words.

Tw// very light discussions of triggering topics (rape, suicide, murder) as it’s more about the use of the words correlating.

I’m not talking about censorship here, apps like TikTok or Instagram do absolutely have censorship, and they’ll repress topics/ totally curate their brand image through the content you see.

Tumblr isn’t like that. On Tumblr, you can use words like shit fuck murder blood death suicide etc etc and the post… won’t get flagged. In fact, most popular posts on here have “bad words” in them. I saw a post, just this morning, that was just the word fuck and it had 6 thousand notes. The only time I understand it here is like what this blog does, so people in a certain fandom won’t see it when they search for said fandom.

If you’re not censoring for the algorithm, which I can understand if, once again, you’re on a different platform, and you’re using things like unalive, freaking, or god forbid replacing one letter with a symbol, in your own private life? You should not be talking about that subject.

If you’re talking about sexual assault, using words like: r@pe, grape, r@p3, $@ or any variation of that not only makes it harder for people who get triggered by those subjects to avoid them but also doesn’t stop them from being triggered by the subject matter.

Based off actual research, and anecdotal evidence, people are more likely to be triggered by the surrounding conversation rather than the actual word itself. I’m a rape survivor and neither me nor anyone else I know is triggered by the word rape. Even if someone IS you should give them the chance to filter that out… by using the actual word.

This is NOT to say that these subjects shouldn’t be talked about, it’s to say that if you’re going to be talking about it, use your words. If you’re making a callout post, say what the person did. “This person is a groomer because they sent nude pictures to a minor.” Vs “This person is a gr00m3r because they sent nxd3 photos to a /\/\!n0r” which one feels as though they’re taking the subject seriously? Which one feels as though they’re trivializing it?

And this brings me back to my thesis statement, if you’re censoring a subject for yourself, because you can’t handle talking about a serious subject, you shouldn’t be talking about it in the first place. If you aren’t ready to talk about whatever it is in a serious manner, you aren’t ready to talk about it. “unalived” is a lot more detached than “murdered.” “He was s@‘d by his girlfriend” vs “His girlfriend raped him.”

Anyway, sorry mods I know this wasn’t Cookie Run related, but I think the fandom needs to hear it! Sorry for the long rant. :)

I can kind of relate to a degree. It kinda icks me when a character does something non-gender-conforming and everyone goes “THEYRE TRANS OMG.” Which I understand *why*, we barely get any rep these days that isn’t mockery. But to be frank, while I do understand this headcannon makes you uncomfortable (which you have every right to feel this way, If something makes you uncomfortable, it just does), I personally feel like the character could still be under the transgender label and it wouldn’t defeat the purpose of the character. Transgender people could struggle with toxic masculinity (I should know, I have experienced this before). I could be a bit slow right now but I dont see how perceiving this character as transgender could change the character.

It feels kind of strange to me when people see a female character doesn’t like wearing dresses, or a male character exhibits feminine traits and they immediately label them as transgender. I feel that being transgender is more than that. It isn’t just “I dont like wearing dresses” or “Wow I love wearing dresses.” I believe that people are watering down the word when they do this. No hate to transgender people who do relate to these type of characters. But as a transgender person, it makes me strangely uncomfortable when people do that stuff. I do not mean to be a harm, but I feel that characters could not conform to their perceived gender and not be transgender. And the other way around.

But also everybody perceives characters in a different way. Anyone has the right to agree or disagree.

(Sorry if my english is bad, by the way)

If you develop an eating disorder when you are already thin to begin with, you go to the hospital.

If you develop an eating disorder when you are not thin to begin with, you are a success story.

So when I evaporated, of course everyone congratulated me on getting healthy.

Girls at school who never spoke to me before stopped me in the hallway to ask how I did it.

I say, “I am sick.”

They say, “No, you’re an inspiration.”

How could I not fall in love with my illness?

With becoming the kind of silhouette people are supposed to fall in love with?

Why would I ever want to stop being hungry when anorexia was the most interesting thing about me?

hunger hurts but starving works

(purging doesn't work half the time and apparently only gets rid of about 25% of the kcals so restricting works better for me)
