I had to block some accouns here cause they think they can promote open AI with ship art....that is so messed up. They are insulting every artist's hard work and insulting fandoms.
I am mad that some people are acting without shame cause they think our fanarts, our fics, our creations mean nothing.
Our creations were all made with love, with this generosity of sharing and with this wish of connecting with other fans. Open AI is a slap on every creative's face.
Fuck people who disrespect our crafts. They should be ashamed of themselves.
#and that hurts even more when you realise the AI bs “art” was made from another creative#we should all support each others#and respect anyone else human hard work#art is beautiful cause you know a human mind made it#you can wonder why they made it#what was their inspiration#their motivation#their goal etc...#but AI has no meaning#it is empty words without a soul.

I'm an "AroAce Stereotype" I'm Romance averse/Repulsed> I'm Sex repulsed I'm non-partnering I hate the idea of marriage in all forms I don't want a QPR at all I'm loveless I'm someone who gets uncomfortable at sexual talk and sex jokes I'm someone who often has innuendos or sexual concept fly over my head. I'm someone who can't tell when someone is flirting with me I'm someone who can't pick up on romantic or sexual tension I'm someone who finds "shipping" to be annoying I'm someone who says "They just seem like friends to me" I'm someone who believed that attraction could be turned on or off I'm someone who can't make sense of romance at all and cant figure out what makes it different from every other relationship. I'm someone who thinks romance is stupid and sex is gross and I don't understand the big deal everyone makes about it I'm someone who never was upset to find out I was AroAce but rather relieved as I have a genuine fear of being stuck in a romantic relationship that i do not want. In all cases I am not an AroAce who can be considered "normal" by the standards of allo society.
I'm not just a stereotype for you to shit on. I'm not the reason aphobes are aphobic I'm not a problem that you need to erase and refute to be accepted by allos. I'm not an experience that you and ignore as "not really how aspec people are" just because You are not part of it. Stop leaving us behind. Stop throwing us under the bus. We deserve support too. We deserve to not be demonized and shunned because we're an "stereotype". We are not the problem. We are not a problem to be fixed. start fighting aphobes on their logic instead of trying to make up for our existence.
#text#ace#aro#asexual#aromantic#aroace#arospec#acespec#aspec#mostly talking abt aroace experience because thats me#but this can go for other aspec identities too#aphobia#im just tired of other aspec people agreeing with the oppressors that certain experiences are wrong#and promising that THEY aren't like that THEY are normal and shouldn't be ridiculed#but never do anything to protect the rest of us from ridicule#because really they just want to protect their experience they dont care about the wider community#and it's frustrating#because we should all be supporting each other because thats how things get better#if we tell aphobes there are exceptions then suddenly all aspec people can become an exception#because they dont care about us being socially acceptable aspecs they care about us not being aspec period#they dont want us to exist because then they have to question their world view and that dont like doing that#so they'll play nice with the ones they can pretend are normal before they decide that you're not good enough either

So long as the political and economic system remains intact, voter enfranchisement, though perhaps resisted by overt white supremacists, is still welcomed so long as nothing about the overall political arrangement fundamentally changes. The facade of political equality can occur under violent occupation, but liberation cannot be found in the occupier’s ballot box. In the context of settler colonialism voting is the “civic duty” of maintaining our own oppression. It is intrinsically bound to a strategy of extinguishing our cultural identities and autonomy.
[...]
Since we cannot expect those selected to rule in this system to make decisions that benefit our lands and peoples, we have to do it ourselves. Direct action, or the unmediated expression of individual or collective desire, has always been the most effective means by which we change the conditions of our communities. What do we get out of voting that we cannot directly provide for ourselves and our people? What ways can we organize and make decisions that are in harmony with our diverse lifeways? What ways can the immense amount of material resources and energy focused on persuading people to vote be redirected into services and support that we actually need? What ways can we direct our energy, individually and collectively, into efforts that have immediate impact in our lives and the lives of those around us? This is not only a moral but a practical position and so we embrace our contradictions. We’re not rallying for a perfect prescription for “decolonization” or a multitude of Indigenous Nationalisms, but for a great undoing of the settler colonial project that comprises the United States of America so that we may restore healthy and just relations with Mother Earth and all her beings. Our tendency is towards autonomous anti-colonial struggles that intervene and attack the critical infrastructure that the U.S. and its institutions rest on. Interestingly enough, these are the areas of our homelands under greatest threat by resource colonialism. This is where the system is most prone to rupture, it’s the fragility of colonial power. Our enemies are only as powerful as the infrastructure that sustains them. The brutal result of forced assimilation is that we know our enemies better than they know themselves. What strategies and actions can we devise to make it impossible for this system to govern on stolen land? We aren’t advocating for a state-based solution, redwashed European politic, or some other colonial fantasy of “utopia.” In our rejection of the abstraction of settler colonialism, we don’t aim to seize colonial state power but to abolish it. We seek nothing but total liberation.
Voting Is Not Harm Reduction - An Indigenous Perspective
#indigenous action#2024 elections#voting#on one hand i think if one opponent is a mask off fascist white people have an obligation to vote against them As The Least We Can Do#but if that's all we're doing? that and bullying other people who see a futility in participating in a colonial institution of 'democracy'?#sorry but um. shut the fuck up#if we spent half as much energy on direct action to support each other in ways that help people REGARDLESS of who wins what election#as we did on yelling at Other Leftists about voting i think we would get a hell of a lot more actual shit done#and sure as hell help more actual real life people who we claim to be helping by yelling at other people to vote#i'm talking to me here like#our current blue harm reduction candidate actively supporting a genocide should make you feel like maybe this shit doesn't fucking work#because it doesn't <3#harm reduction as the least we can do needs to be a call to action via vote AND actual action or it's not a call to anything at all#the least we can do needs to be motivating AND convicting#it's the least we can do so fucking do it. it's the least we can do so if that's All you do sit the hell down or stand the fuck up#for people who the status quo serves it needs to be the ballot AND the bullet or our ballot means fuck all for real liberation

As long as you're not a cdream apologist/dreblr you're OK in my books i guess /not prev anon
dreblr isn’t some secret evil coven, it’s just a loose collection of c!dream fans with a wide variety of differing (and sometimes contradictory) opinions on the lore.
i’m not a c!dream apologist but i’m def a part of dreblr! tbh it’s been one of the best fandom experiences i’ve ever had. ppl are super welcoming and kind, and there are tons of great writers and artists. i’m happy to be here.
#asks#like…we don’t even all agree with each other about c!dream stuff#but we keep it chill y’know#EDIT: i think another thing i should maybe also mention is that I'm not involved in dtblr or any other CC-focused spaces#i don't support cc!dream (<- personal decision of mine that's not up for debate)

not to beat a dead horse but there's something kind of illuminating and warmie yet sad about the fact that Taylor's parents are attending Travis' game with her and regularly. I know the "you never saw--" joke is old, but the idea that [redacted]'s family did actually occasionally attend events with Taylor (including at what it seems may have been a difficult time), but after a certain point she herself didn't/couldn't attend his in turn, never mind her family, and it's just a testament to how different things are now, how different her life is, and frankly how integrated their family life has become. Idk I'm just really happy for popstar bestie because I feel like this is probably everything she ever wanted and didn't know she could have at one point.
#i should probably delete this lol#like-- he just wanted nothing to do with her in public#I know we've said it a million ways and it's more nuanced than that#and we know how hurtful that was *for her*#(again even though it was more nuanced than that on the page)#but I keep thinking of her parents in situations like this because they had to watch it happen#and now they've got a regular spot at their son in law's event and they're embraced in the fold idk#(shut up I'm using the term in a general sense miss me with the legalities bla bla bla)#(I'm sorry but that's what they all are to each other for all intents and purposes now)#like it goes both ways: it shows how serious she and [redacted] were and how much his family considered her one of their own#but by the same token how difficult it must have been for her to keep herself (and her family) so separate from anything having to do#with him in the name of propriety or rules or whatever the fuck else#like the breakup is obviously the two people involved but it's also breaking up an entire support system idk

YALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!!!! MORE SCREENSHOTS FOR EVERYBODY!
Once again bringing up that I’m tired of seeing posts strictly for the female fans of the game. So here he is in all his glory, the absolute (bisexual??) icon of the franchise! Doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or a guy- or in my MCs case- something else, chances are he’s going to try his hand!
HAVE SOME FREE SEBASTIAN BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE❤️ PEACE AND LOVE ON PLANET EARTH
#You know the drill lads#Need I rant again#its incredibly frustrating how female mc oriented the fanbase is. To the point I just don’t reblog many f!mcs anymore unless its one I like#In this fandom we should be working together not against each other#Yet many of us are bullied and pushed out of the fanbase for being queer#The only real queer ship that gets popular is Sebinis and ive seen it get kind of used as a kink in ff? For some reason?#All for poly ships but come on#There other ships like prelow- which I don’t personally ship but certainly needs more space#And give it up for the female characters x female characters fans here bc gods theirs only like two#People don’t even give male mcs a chance#Only reason I’ve gotten as far as I have is because a few more popular moots have helped me#This series is both for your enjoyment and to raise awareness for queerphobia in the Hogwarts Legacy fanbase#So please reblog if you want to support my little one man cause#These screenshots are to fight HL queerphobia#Im tired of seeing my friends and mutuals bullied#I want them to be safe in this fandom#I want to be safe in this fandom#👏 please 👏 PEACEFULLY 👏 raise 👏 awareness 👏#Thank you.#hogwarts legacy#sebastian sallow#sebastian x mc#sebastian sallow screenshots

does kabshiro have pet names or cute nicknames for each other or would they rather call each other by their regular names. Do they call each other stuff like Honey or Babe?
Kabru calls Toshiro by his name because it already feels intimate for both of them. Since most people in his life either address him as "Young Master" or "Shuro," "Toshiro" is arguably a pretty singular way to refer to him. Kabru definitely seems like he could be a pet name user, but I don't think he would be with Toshiro.
Toshiro also usually uses Kabru's name. He might use something old-fashioned like "dear" later on in their relationship. To other people, they would refer to each other by their names or depending on the time and context, "my partner/husband."
The DunMeshi characters all speak Japanese in the text, so we can assume that it's their equivalent of Common. Disclaimer that I'm not a Japanese speaker, so very sorry if this is an inaccurate usage of the word, but I could see Toshiro referring to Kabru as "anata" once they're married. From my understanding, "anata" is sometimes used by couples. It means "you," but it has a more deliberately intimate connotation in a close relationship, since you typically drop the second person pronoun when speaking directly to someone.
I don't really see them as the type of couple to express affection through pet names, and that might be influenced by the thought giving me mild psychic damage 😭 No hate at all if you like them having pet names for each other. This is just my cross to bear... But if anything, their pet names for each other would be to get the other's attention like "Hey, where are the keys?" or "Hey, can you do the dishes?" For me, Kabshiro, after they've been with each other for a few years, is about the intimacy of living a life together in a quietly familiar way <3
#kabru#toshiro nakamoto#shuro#kabshiro#kabushuro#dungeon meshi#tysm for the q!! i had to really ponder this one esp for toshiro#disclaimer tho that i obv support y'all if another interpretation of kabshiro is ur truth 🙏 we should all be free#i can't even sit here and pretend like i don't think they're a little insane in the romantic gestures department#even if they aren't busting out “darling” or “sweetheart”#bc i mean spoilers for my fic but they quite literally invent cross-ocean teleportation for each other#or more accurately marcille invents it for them lmfao#answered asks

Sometimes i feel annoying for talking abt boys sm on here but I've been in sapphic spaces since i was a teen or have otherwise always just been chilling w the girlies.. Was also in a 5 and 6 year long relationship w bi women. Frankly, i did not get to see many dudes I'm attracted to ever lol, but I'm older and know they're out there yk..? Seeing a dude im attracted to used to be a once in a every other other blue moon kinda thing.
He/him lesbians showed me there's all sorts of guys out there.. Also in the greater trans community after i became a part of it and intersex folk, and cis dudes r still a once in a blue moon thing but at this point I've seen enough of them!!!! 😩 i have a whole lifetime of appreciation that's catching up to me rn!!! im in my boy crazy era and it feels great to be here 😳
Still crazy about everyone else like being bisexual truly is an intoxicating experience lol, but it's boy time rn for me ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ i also happen 2 meet other transmasc folk often enough irl and they have been very sweet and supportive of me, and a continuous n lovely presence in my life since my early 20s ♡ forgive me if I'm corny sometimes and loud about it. Being boy crazy and a mix of accumulated sentimentality...
#me n my friend being sweet w each other happened After i got like this#but i love hanging out w him and our friendship has been thru sm special changes!!!!#like lol i met him thru my ex's bestie actually 😹 there used to be a group chat between the 4 of us#and of the original 4 just the two of us talk to each other these days 😳 he's been my most consistently supportive friend#and he's a good communicator and he was one of the few ppl i could lean on for comfort when i broke up w that ex and like.#he kinda started all of this actually akskaka. like it became much bigger than him but god he only gives me more#reasons to be grateful 😩 i feel taken care of and tended to when I'm with him and i love that we can be vulnerable w each other#i used to be like haha men suck 😜 but then u meet dudes that dont and wow it's great to be here#the world is so beautiful.... t4t friendship 4ever and ever amen#230am rambles... i feel like i should start a rant tag.. →#rambles

it remembers reading these two pieces about the systemic power that TME people have over TMA people in trans spaces, and the response was so surreal. One of the articles was Devon Price's Transmisandry Does Not Exist, and the other was Cat Harsis's Transmisogyny Exempt Privilege Dynamics. And one of the comments under Price as well as this post on tumblr "debunking" it was about how allegedly the term transmisandry isn't used the way they describe. Those who are affected by transmisogyny are, yes, not just affected by transantagonism and misogyny but this other oppression, transmisogyny. But those who use the term 'transmisandry' (and some alternative terms they provide, anti-transmasculinity for instance) would never dream of denying that reality. Rather, it's just that transmasculine people are impacted by transantagonism in deep, unique, systemic ways, and this is a term to describe that experience.
And then responses to Harsis's essay fully deny that there is any such thing as this extra oppression, transmisogyny. They instead claim there is no axis of oppression at all that explains the disparity of abuse and mobbing when it comes to those affected by this so-called transmisogyny and those exempt from it.
How can the PREDOMINANT RESPONSES to the claim that transmisogyny exists be that:
Nobody is denying that transmisogyny exempt people have power over transmisogyny affected people!
It's ludicrous to think transmisogyny exempt people have power over transmisogyny affected people!
And it gets worse! Let's ignore the tonal differences of criticism to each of their essays, and focus on the fact that 1 is substantially gentler while 2 is substantially more violent. Price the TME writer gets 1 that says "I agree with you, I just think there's a verbal difference." Harsis the TMA writer gets 2 that says "I fundamentally deny you any reality to your experiences, to what you've been through. You're all imagining all that shit lol."
More recently it saw a conversation where a TME trans person said unambiguously and explicitly that TME and TMA trans people go through the same thing, there is no such thing as this extra, bonus oppression, transmisogyny. The two loudest responses were how the TME trans person was just describing his own experiences and never denied transmisogyny and nobody is saying that, and another contingent arguing for why he was right to say there is no such thing as transmisogyny.
And then the worst part, the cherry on top of ALL OF THIS, is that these people all act like they're in agreement with each other. Because it's not about what they're saying. It's about who they're against.
#transmisogyny#transmisogyny affected#transmisogny tw#transmisogyny exempt dynamics#gaslighting#in denial#also like it is just painful when ur autistic and forget that people use linguistic objects as bludgeoning tools#independently of their semantic content so like when a bunch of people start supporting each other by disagreeing with you#for completely contradictory reasons ur like wtf but all of you should be on different sides why are we all acting like everyone has like#formed a consensus against me specifically oh right none of those words mean anything how could i forget

Honestly I think it would do us all well to go back to kinda cringy feminism again for a little bit idk cause I think maybe for some people the discourse somehow circled back around to supporting sexism just rebranded or whatever so its more aesthetic
#personal#instead of progressing the discourse into idk more inclusion of women of color and trans women#it went in the direction of like glorifying women being stupid and romanticizing beauty standarts#also weird centering of men all over again in feminism and in general for some reason#remember in the early 2010s when emma watson was like obliterated for that 'he for she' campaign#because it prioritized men in feminist discourse and then thats the exact direction where things went later on (and where it is currently)#people care more abt like 'haha this is my golden retriever bf he drinks respect women juice!' than about actual women speaking abt feminis#like being a feminist isnt about social change and women prioritizing each other its abt how dudes are hot when they do the bare minimum!#also have you noticed the rise in lesbophobia both in the sense of persecution of lesbians themselves#and of lesbians relationships and culture which other wlw are also part of (its giving lavender menace)#and also remember how we had the me too movement and then immediately after#everyone still fell for a smear campaing against a victim of domestic abuse?#anyway i would really love to get back to basics of like women should support each other!#and beauty standarts overwhelmingly negatively affect women and girls!#and we still need to incentivize girls to seek out intellectual pursuits especially in STEM and leadership roles!#because we continue to be underpresented in those fields and the only way to enact change is to bring our perspectives to those areas#instead of asking politely for guys to throw us a bone!#also stop acting like its cringe to openly and vocally center and prioritize women in every sphere of our lives possible!#and also maybe go back to actively trying to do that! and considering that a good thing!??#because we're the ones who should have our backs most of all?? idk idk#also where are the teeth??#why is everyone so afraid of being angry now???#its like some people circled back to being afraid of being mistaken for man-hating or something#just for pointing out common sense aspects of oppression without adding an asterisk about how men suffer too!#i thought we all knew there is no such thing as reverse sexism!!!#idk!!!#and this isnt me condoning choice feminism many women are evil and actively work against their own interests#or antagonize other women to make themselves feel important such as terfs etc#but idk its like everyone internalized that 'well women can suck too' so hard that its become like#'*most* women suck and we dont even have to keep trying to empathize and prioritize each other and our issues anymore'

A message to the recent & future transgender pick-mes.
If you’re a trans pick-me (no matter where you align with gender) there’s a special place in Hell just for you & I don’t even believe in Hell. Having trauma isn’t excusing your actions of going out of your way to hurt other people actively. It explains that it comes from a place of hurt potentially or you’re just turning into a rage-bait influencer because it makes you money. Either way you come after trans people who don’t do being trans exactly like you so they “aren’t really trans.” You get a taste of the right-wing rage-bait money pot & you wanna keep going because money & maybe some weird part of you thinks this will save you from transphobic attacks? Honey, we’re all just fags to them no matter how we look or act. Even if you’re a cis person not following the norm or unaware of the politics of it all, you’re still just a faggot to them who they will eventually want to snuff out. I’m saying this as a tranny fag just to be clear! You can’t be playing these exclusion games & thinking it’s going to make you powerful! Even Milo Yionnapolis or whatever that fucker’s name was got dropped by the Trump Administration! They do not like us & they never will like us! Democrat, republican, whatever it is; if it’s capitalist, it doesn’t like us! No matter how much you lick those boots, it’ll do you no good. You’re a faggot/tranny just like me & the rest of us, that’s how these suits see it & always will see it no matter how much you try to prove “I’m one of the good ones.” They aren’t going to save you, we’re all on the chopping block to them no matter what our politics are. These government folks don’t see any of us as “one of the good ones.” Get over yourself, grow the fuck up, and stand side-by-side with your transsexual siblings! All we have is each other, these cis people aren’t shit! 💜 Down with cis! 💜
#if you don’t know what a pick-me is read the post and or look it up#I’m not going to name names because I’m not a pick me bich with a big following#& unlike the money making influencers I don’t have the luxury of people demanding my account be brought back on other sites#hate that word ‘influencer’ but it serves the purpose of this topic in particular#this goes out to certain Kellys & Bucks & Kalvins & all the other sniveling whiny irrelevant pick-mes who play the I got mine so screw you#card & betray the very people who supported them & for being a traitor to their wider community of trans siblings#imagine wanting to be a bitter angry obnoxious influencer until you eventually pass away; that is honestly a skill issue#grow some compassion & learn to love the people & things around you; that’ll do you much better than a life of pointless performativity#I think we should bring back the phrase#down with cis#& I mean that genuinely#these self hating trans circles much like the people crusading after trans people will only eat themselves & each other alive#you’re better off supporting & sticking by your trans siblings; yes even the ones who you think do gender weird or have neopronouns#get over yourselves please; neopronouns aren’t even probably new tbh but this isn’t a history post#mine#op#trans#transgender#nonbinary#enby#tw slur#tw slurs#cw slurs#slurs tw#tw t slur#tw f slur#f slur#t slur#slurs cw

The shy bachelor Godwin thought that Mary Robinson was not only intelligent and "Rational," but also incomparably beautiful. His daughter Mary Shelley recorded that "Among his acquaintances were several women, to whose society he was exceedingly partial, and who were all distinguished for personal attractions and talents. Among them may be mentioned the celebrated Mary Robinson, whom to the end of his life he considered as the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but though he admired her so greatly, their acquaintance scarcely attained intimate friendship."
Perdita: The Literary, Theatrical, and Scandalous Life of Mary Robinson (2004) by Paula Byrne, page 322, contained in the beginning of Chapter 22: Radical
#i can't stop thinking about this#william godwin#mary robinson#mary shelley#mary wollstonecraft#and in at least one letter wollstonecraft admitted to godwin that she had wanted to leave a dinner party earlier out of jealousy#but she didn't bc she could tell he was enjoying perdita's company so much#for what it's worth nobody should take this out of context bc these two marys were huge supporters of each other and friends#but if my dad were to say this about any woman other than my mother who died due to complications after giving birth to me#bruh. i know this is probably a rather contemporary cultural judgment to make but still#'oh YEAH dad? why dont you go tell that to the daughter you had with mary robinson—OH WAIT#you just have ME. MY fucking bad'#ps i also love how (i have yet to read her novels but this is routinely mentioned in the biography) all of her heroines#have long dark auburn hair and blue-grey eyes. bc that's what she looked like#and tbh i love it for the incredibly selfish reason that that's what i look like. im vain. goodnight!#(we really do stigmatize that sorta thing now. making ur main character resemble urself. i think thats stupid. its a fine practice)#(no i think we only do that when the author is a woman bc then her character is omg basically her she didnt even try) (eyeroll)

Nobody asked but white supremacy is the reason why white women are obsessed with true crime.
So when chattel slavery was becoming cemented in the United States and other European areas, the idea of biological race and racial hierarchy emerged to justify the generational enslavement of Africans and the genocide of indigenous people. Africans and other non-whites were labeled as less developed, more susceptible to their "primal urges" and committing sex crimes and therefore needed to be controlled by white men. Specifically to protect white women.
White supremacy is typically framed as necessary to 'protect' (read: control) white women, the mothers of the next generation of whites. They must be protected from "sexually voracious black men" (read: miscegenation and mixed race children). So white supremacy operates on the myth that white women are constantly under threat of sexual violence and must be protected by white men.
That myth becomes baked into the public consciousness, many unaware of the origin or even that the idea is there. It even becomes less racially based, but there is still a common belief that white women are inherently vulnerable to violent crime. Especially among white women. To be fair, it's difficult to not internalize an idea that you are not exactly aware of but is still seeped in every interaction and bit of advice. Don't wander off, don't talk to strangers, don't go out alone or late at night, cover your body, hold your keys between your fingers, take self defense, watch your drink, don't be under the influence. Your body is soft and valuable and delicate and you must protect it.
This idea of vulnerability is reinforced in the news media, which chooses to focus on stories which fit this particular narrative of white women's vulnerability. Missing white women syndrome. This subconscious belief has saturated society. White women develop an outsized fear of death by violent crime. So what do they do? They embrace it. They eat up stories of families like theirs and the deaths of women like them.
It's been suggested that experiencing that fear of violence in the controlled environment true crime provides can be cathartic, somewhat like watching a horror film. There is also a sense of justice and closure felt when the perpetrator of that crime is punished.
In conclusion; White women love true crime because it's a coping mechanism for their deeply embedded fear of violence which was established and is upheld by white supremacy.
#statistically white women are the least likely to be victims of violent crime. they can be and all victims need support but white women are#just not as vulnerable as society makes them out to be. and it becomes the standard of behavior and treatment for women of all races#women don't need control and protection they need empowerment and for men to treat them like goddamn human beings.#i kno im using binary language but u tell me how to better word this. the binary is fake tho. all the little stranger danger things got to#me. walk away from the street don't walk too close to unknown men I'm not afraid of my community!!! no one should be!!!!#we should not fear each other. i understand that violence and assault are real things that happen to people all the time but it's much more#likely to happen to men and women of color. they deserve love and support and real effective change. and white women shouldn't have to#be afraid and feel vulnerable. we need legitimate efforts to address and prevent random violence#not fearmongering and the offloading of responsibility onto potential victims. anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk#why am i talking#maybe I'll use this one day#i wrote this at 2am don't @me. i am right tho. i also like me some ethically filmed#true crime content. it needs to be tasteful though. and people need to be normal about it.
