there’s one terf i keep seeing around and tbh it’d be too easy to make fun of her she’s like openly racist, thinks black women criticising white feminism is leftist infighting™ and i think their nsfw tag is “acephobia tw” and they seem to think that’s genuinely funny like, what a complete malfunction of a human being could make a sense of humour like that

telling butch lesbians to “be ugly” when rejecting feminine beauty standards is nice but butchness is something that lesbians find beautiful and desirable so maybe instead of telling butches to accept that they are ugly in a het world tell them that they dont have to live in a world where they’re considered ugly. you dont have to accept being ugly bc you arent ugly to us.

I mean pals, friendos, we’ve all talked about how media depictions influence things like racism and transphobia and misogyny.

We’ve all talked about how scrubbing media of all depictions is bad, tokenization is bad, false or slanderous depictions are bad and they all influence the ways people think of vulnerable people. This is common ground!

None of you fandom kids crying about “antis” are unfamiliar with this discourse, it’s basic level crap.

So why does that all disintegrate the moment the stuff you find sexy in your prons gets a tiny iota of criticism? I haven’t even said anything about your own coping responses. I’m not your therapist. It’s not my call to say if watching rape porn is good or bad for your healing process and in no way am I going to get in the way of whatever things you do privately in your own home to cope. 

But everything that literally all of us know about media does still extend to porn. The ways women are depicted in porn can still harm women as a class by priming men as a class because it’s still media, that people consume (often uncritically) like literally all other forms of media. The ways trans women are depicted in porn can still do harm! Racism in porn still does harm! Those things don’t just disappear because it’s your fave wank bank material!

And that can’t be ignored. We need to change all forms of media. Porn included. It’s all got problems. Get a grip, folks

if millennials making fun of gen z becomes a meme i’m calling every one of you out for hypocrisy

we’re making fun of them for eating laundry detergent not destroying their economy and criticizing them for being poor

see, what bothers me about this post is the underlying mean-spiritedness I always saw but never bothered to mention in this whole generational mentality. I remember exactly where the “tide pods look like candy” thing started, and literally all of us knew it was a joke because the person who posted it talked about how annoying it was that they couldn’t safely eat something that looked like a peppermint or whatever the fuck. 

that’s not all I’m annoyed about, though. 

each generation seems to be assigned defining traits based on stereotypes older generations see fit to give them. so then, what are gen z’s stereotypical defining traits? let me think about this for a while. 

  • difficulty suppressing impulsive behaviors
  • sensory-inclined 
  • a tendency to take things literally (much to the amusement of our elders)
  • hatred of sitting still for long periods of time, needing constant activity to be stimulated
  • desperately in need of attention and/or constant external validation 
  • and, last but not least, unable to function without social media

now I’m not entirely sure if this all means something, but at least 5/6 of those are associated with symptoms of mental disorders. I’m not here to shit on your fun. by all means, go ahead, crack some more tide pod jokes. weird shitty trends are fair game for your jokes. but can you like. be adults long enough to catch yourselves before you make fun of a group of people who aren’t even the target of your jokes. 

since when haven’t these jokes been subtly targeting autistic people

Wine forgery, like art forgery and art theft, shouldn’t be illegal, just like any other crime where the only consequence is obscenely rich people having slightly less money

While we’re on the topic of art forgery, what about a poor family that saves every dollar to make an art investment only to find out later that it’s worthless? That’s not someone “obscenely rich” losing out.

sorry johnny there’s no dinner tonight, we need to save all the money we can to get that Rothko at Sotheby’s next week
