Personally, I’m starting to think fake allies are worse than outright bigots.

Sure, some asshole in a park will call me a faggot and it sucks, but there’s something so insidious and cruel about someone who claims to support you but who won’t do the bare minimum for your community’s pain. Someone who tweets ‘trans rights are human rights’ again and again like mantra but won’t stop supporting the Worst Person Alive in favour of continuing to read a kids’ book about wizards. Someone who wears ‘Ally’ t-shirts and ‘love is love’ pins with every outfit but won’t stop eating a fucking chicken sandwich brand. Someone who claims to fight for your rights but actively contributes to the harming of those same rights, despite how fucking easy it’d be not to. I’d rather you just call me a tranny fag or whatever at this point. If you’re gonna be a piece of shit, at least grow a pair and go all the way.

the biggest difference between terfs and trans people, I think, is that we’re bonded by the idea that gender is a social construct but the trans rhetoric is ‘Gender is fake so you can do what you want’, whereas the terf rhetoric is ‘Gender is fake, so you can do what you want*

*Provided that ‘whatever you want’ fits within the rules I’ve set for your life. Otherwise I’ll call you vile things on Twitter and call you a misogynist for disagreeing with me.’

I was giving my dad shit cause he said one (1) thing that upset me but now he’s gotten me McDonald’s and I feel like the most despicable person alive. Will be killing myself.

They should invent a binder where you can pull a string or open a zipper or unbutton a button or something and it loosens into a regular sports bra. Idk how they’d do that, but I think it’d be SOOOOO helpful if you’re in a binder and suddenly have to run or exercise or lift something. You get it.

There’s nothing like being sick to make you wish you were still five years old and your parents still doted on you

Every time I get told I’m under-qualified for something and respond with the reasons I am in fact qualified, I feel like this

There’s this trend on tiktok where people put their ‘craziest Hear Me Outs’ and sometimes I catch myself judging people for theirs as if mine isn’t this thing

This seems like some kind of autistic shit I would do

Wanna hear something really whacky and funny? I’m in my ‘I am cringe but I am free’ era, so I was making an OC for Banana Fish cause I’ve been hyperfixating on it since I was sixteen. Said OC is a hacker. Since I know nothing about code, I asked my mother who knows code some questions I had. My mother asked me what I needed to know this for, and I said it was for a character I was writing without letting her know that it’s an OC because I’m not willing to be cringe with an audience. My mother, however, liked the character and his story after I explained him a little, and she told me to get it to 50k-75k words and she’d edit it and send it to publishers. So, in a whacky turn of events like that of a 2000’s Disney movie that I’m too hot to watch, I am now writing an entire novel so she doesn’t find out that my character is an OC for a silly little show about gay people. Why is my life this fucking weird?

boopt

fujoshis when you tell them they’re not victims of racism (they’re white) homophobia (they’re straight) transphobia (they’re cis) misogyny or censorship when gay people ask not to be fetishised

RIP Franz Kafka you would have loved booty shorts with ‘unfit for human consumption’ on the ass

Andrew I swear to fucking god

Fucking. I keep getting comments like ‘How would you know his character better than the author?’ And ‘Just cause you don’t have the kink doesn’t make it heteronormative:/‘ and I don’t vibe with it. I realise y’all couldn’t utilise reading comprehension enough to get through the original post, so this might not help cause you’re still illiterate, but maybe it’ll send you in the right direction.

(Yeah it was only two people and three comments, but I’m nipping this in the bud because I would rather rip my own eyes out of my head and bury them in my garden than actually try and debate barely-literate heterosexuals.)

Firstly, I don’t claim to know MXTX’s characters better than they do. What I do claim to know, however, is how character writing works. I fucking hate the claim of ‘But how would you know it’s ooc better than the AUTHOR?’ like. An author is fully capable of writing their own characters in a way that doesn’t line up with their established personality traits. While Hua Cheng is MXTX’s character and I can’t tell them what to write, I am well within my rights to point out how little sense it makes with Hua Cheng’s established character to be some rough dom sex bully. He’s literally the most caring, devoted, protective person on the planet toward Xie Lian. Not to mention, MXTX didn’t even write him like that even in the uncensored version. There’s a way more concise explanation (with a screenshot) of this in the reblogs, but I’ll explain briefly. While there is one scene in the uncensored version where Hua Cheng is acting rough and handsy, it’s also a scene where he’s blatantly acting outside of his own control. With his normal personality, he would never even touch Xie Lian without assured consent, let along make out with him like that. Also, he was handsy. No mention of bullying, cruelty or weird dom vibes. I was misinformed when I made my original post, because of everyone’s immediate gushing about him being a borderline sexual batterer, and that’s my bad. Also see the screenshot in the aforementioned reblog, where Xie Lian recalls Hua Cheng’s voice as being gentle and without coercion. Rough dom bully top abuser Hua Cheng is not and was never confirmed- but back to the original point, yes. An audience has full rights to point out inconsistent character writing where it exist. What, do I need to flash my media literacy license. Let me on the crime scene, I work for the FBI (Fans of Book Investigation).

Secondly, what kinks I have is irrelevant to my interpretation of media. I’m actually pretty fucking kinky, and I’m super into the whole rough sex, dom top, bullying thing. I think it’s hot as shit. That being said, I was still uncomfortable with this characterisation. Why? Because the idea of the designated ‘guy’ of the relationship (to explain that, while MXTX didn’t write either of them as the ‘guy’ or ‘girl’ in the relationship -thank god- fandoms often latch onto the idea that one character, usually the one who’s taller and less meek or polite, is the guy in the relationship. That’s why the shorter and nicer one gets feminised so violently) being sexually violent and insatiable is neither new, nor a foreign idea in heteronormativity. It happens a lot; the designated ‘man’ in the relationship is constantly horny and super sexually brutish, because tHe bOyFrIeNd wAnTs sEx bUt tHe gIrLfRiEnD sAyS nO cAuSe gIrLs dOn’T gEt hOrNy oR kInKy. It’s bullshit, and y’all need to stop pretending not to notice so your faves can stay unproblematic UwU.

I don’t care what the new, uncensored versions say. Hua Cheng being a rough bully dom top in bed is too heteronormative for me to ignore how it makes no sense for his character, sorry.

Being eighteen and not knowing how to do things is so embarrassing. I don’t know how to swim, ride a bike, I don’t have a fucking clue how hickeys work or how to give someone one (which is embarrassing cause that just shows I’m a virgin, but I’m not gonna fucking Google it) and I absolutely should have figured it out by now. I’m gonna kill myself.

Hey baby can I come over and have a fit of paranoia because of the neighbour’s garage settling and have my mindless anxiety slowly spread to you until we’re both sitting huddled in a dark room, terrified and clutching kitchen knives, sobbing with fear at every scrape of a branch or twitch of a stray cat until we truly know what it’s like to be the protagonists of an indie horror game with ps2 graphics
