if i wanted to start an argument i would say that calling lucanis a bisexual disaster is a product of the trivialisation / memeification of bisexual people that paints them as hypersexual or "attracted to everyone" in the exact same stereotype that has existed since the beginning of time. lucanis is literally just a guy who happens to be bisexual but because the current perception of bisexual men by cishets often includes being nonthreatening partners for straight women where attraction to men is less of a part of their identity and more of a "green flag" that makes them less likely to be misogynistic (untrue btw), his bisexuality was expected to give him specific characteristics (easily flustered, flirty, sexy.) emmrich and davrin didn't get this initial treatment because they dont fit into the idealised relationship mould these people would expect (davrin being black is a major factor given how people see queer people of colour and emmrich being Too Old To Be Bisexual) however when lucanis' romance had no sex and was. uh. boring. this demographic quickly pivoted to emmrich and acted like they were risqué for wanting to fuck a man in his 60s. but i don't want to argue so i'll just smile serenely and remember when the only bisexual man in dai had a bdsm sex tower.

what you don’t seem to understand is that statistics and surveys are JUST as subjective as things like theory. you seem to put things like surveys in a “practical, unbiased truth” category and things like memoirs or theory discussions about people’s actual real-life lived experience in a “impractical, biased falsehoods” category. but that’s YOUR personal judgement, not a universal opinion, and you can’t treat it like it is. statistics and surveys can be just as hypothetical and flawed as “personal experience”. in fact, most of the surveys you pull statistics from were questions answered by individuals about their personal experiences. so like, stop trying to push this arbitrary divide between “theory” and “evidence”.

'what you don’t seem to understand is that statistics and surveys are JUST as subjective as things like theory.'

Dude, Fite-Club I know this is you. You're the only person who will ever make a claim that statistics are AS SUBJECTIVE as something that is PURELY subjective.

I'm not saying statistics are perfect. But trying to argue that RECORDED TRENDS OF LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE are not less subjective than SINGULAR PEOPLE's experiences is only a claim you could make.

'most of the surveys you pull statistics from were questions answered by individuals about their personal experiences.'- Its almost like theres a difference between 'trends' and 'singular individuals'.

'stop trying to push this arbitrary divide between “theory” and “evidence”.' ...Ah yes. The notoriously 'arbitrary' divide between 2 factually different things.

Theory- An educated guess presented as an explanation for observable patterns

Evidence- Observable patterns.

If your theory does not align with observable patterns, it is WRONG.

"Don't use queer as an umbrella term some people don't like it." Idk how to break this to you but it seems as if when I say "queer" I'm am in fact actually not talking about you I'm talking about fellow queer people sorry

It was only a matter of time before they got to this.

Keep fighting. Don't let them win.

From the article:

"Florida's attorney general is claiming that the state’s public school libraries are 'a forum for government speech' and 'not a forum for free expression,' in a chilling argument that appears to be gaining steam on the right...

"'Florida’s public-school libraries are a forum for government, not private, speech,' Moody argues in the brief, comparing the removal of LGBTQ+ books like Tango to school policies against Nazi propaganda. Although Moody admits in the brief that appeals courts have 'not yet addressed' the legal argument she makes, she cites semi-related precedents — such as whether a state can refuse to display a religious monument — to conclude that 'the compilation of library materials is government speech.' For that reason, she continues, removing any library materials cannot constitute viewpoint discrimination.

"In response, a group of 23 First Amendment scholars filed an amicus brief of their own in September, saying Moody’s argument stands in opposition to decades of First Amendment law. 'Defendant’s arguments would effectively nullify' existing limits on government speech, the brief contends, and 'government speech' analyses have 'no place in public school library book removal decisions.' The authors went on to argue that the court should use different analytical tools, specifically 'forum doctrine,' a principle in U.S. law used to determine reasonable restrictions on public speech, and one which has been used in cases involving libraries since the 1970s.

"...'Should schools be preparing individuals to be broadly educated, to be able to make their own decisions about their lives?' [American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom director Deborah Caldwell-Stone] asked USA Today rhetorically. 'Or should schools be indoctrination centers for only one viewpoint that may not even represent the viewpoint of the majority?'"

okay hi im drunk so bear with me

but you motherfuckers have to understand that a social class is out of your control. there is not a single thing you can goddamn do to change your social class

so trans men being denied access to medical needs ie medical needs around a uterus (something that is very serious and exhausting to have.) isnt saying "oh men are oppressed" its saying "even when trans men are read as women they are still denied bc theyre not women enough. they are also denied mens healthcare post transition bc theyre not considered men enough. the same thing applies to trans women in the reverse. its not about who has it worse, but how we can band together to fight this."

why does every part of my existence as a woman have to be polarizing?

why cant my body be neutral?

why cant my choice to wear or not wear makeup be neutral?

why cant my decision to have children or not be neutral?

why does every inch of my existence have to be some kind of political statement?

I would like to thank The Morning Show for feeding the millennial sapphics who always thought Elle Woods should have been with the intimidating brunette woman, I feel seen & heard 😌🙏

Theres this one mf who doesn't know why they keep getting called transphobic when they legit keep misgendering trans people and do some shitty ass trans gatekeeping to justify said misgendering and transphobia. Like. Darling. You're being labelled as transphobic because you are.

[sashannarcy]

Let me get the list of things twitter would cancel you for. Sighs and starts writing.

1) Moirails with a Lesbian despite being a Man.

2) Vilianizing Marcy and Sasha respectively for your different nuerodivergent takes that effect them/their decisions.

3) The entire Queer discourse video but 2 times worse and someone gets doxxed.

4) Fetishizing women.

5) Vriscourse of some kind gets you on a blocklist.

6) Using references for your art (I've seen it happen before).

7) Infantizing Anne by treating her like a 13 year old (as she is).

anon I'll have you know I read this out loud to my partner on call last night and we could not stop fucking laughing. this is so awful and glorious I love it so much thank you

Reminds me of the time I took a class in Queer Memoir (probably the most current/only 21st Century Literature I got to in the lit program) and was instantly dickslapped by how Like That book reviews are compared to the ("my esteemed colleagues" aside!) reverence and decorum of academia. We were like "??? why are they dictating the 'right way to be queer' these texts supposedly aren't that's so fucked up and homophobic" and now I'm posting about it into the void of the Homophobically Erasing Queer Text And Authorship Website

reading a romance novel where the protagonist feels the need to stop and inform that audience that it's okay for her, a 27 year old, to hook up with a 31 year old because despite the age difference both of their brains are fully developed. the Discourse really has done incalculable damage.
