Hi, hello, if you're a fan of astarion (which you are bc this is tagged solely with his name), consider familiarizing yourself with the words "sex worker" and "trafficking victim."

Because if i see one more post where astarion fans casually say prostitute and hooker like that's Still Cool to Say, I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. He says that about himself in a derogatory way. Why are you then referring to him and other characters in a derogatory way? What. What are you doing. Why are you doing that. Why do you think that's okay.

I've done various forms of sw. Never fssw, to be fair (also I've had multiple partners try to traffic me and this is a thing i, under any other circumstance, would NEVER bring up but mario voice here we GOOOOO) (fssw example: the drow twins), but boy howdy! Half the astarion fandom makes my skin crawl with how frequently and flippantly those terms are thrown around!

Pixels vs real people, etc, etc, yes, HOWEVER. Your use of these phrases are a direct reflection as to how you'd refer to Actual People in That Industry or Who Are Trafficking Victims irl given that's how Terminology Works.

They are. The least respectful words you can use. There are people in the bg3 fandom who have been trafficked and see you consider them hookers! Against their will! There are probably fssw in the fandom who see you saying hooker! Which is degrading and commonly regarded as an outdated and distasteful phrase! There are other swers who see that! Maybe stop calling people hookers and prostitutes and respect people! Even if they're pixels! Because basic human respect should be normalized! And self-loathing derogatory statements a trauma victim makes about himself should not be normalized as the Acceptable Terminology for People Experiencing These Things! Because language and culture are connected regardless of whether or not we're speaking about fictional characters! Fiction is, by its very nature, allegorical! These words have meaning! Maybe use the words that aren't awful!

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'm very excited for the extremely likely backlash I'll receive here!

I like when people hinge others’ morality on what fiction/media they choose to engage with i like it a lot

To find your favourite actress click the letter of her first name. Thanks for looking, please like and follow if you enjoyed

as a woman who grew up with an emotionally abusive mother constantly telling me I needed to wear more makeup/more revealing clothing/date (boys) more/go out to "normal" parties more, I despise "she should be at the club"

god forbid some people- especially young women, who already have to deal with a thousand different behavioral standards from a thousand different directions -not have the same dreams and desires for their lives as you do for yours

fucking hell. the correct response to "women should stay at home and have kids and be submissive wives" prescriptivism was not MORE PRESCRIPTIVISM

(I also just saw a poll asking if people partied as teenagers, and OP responded that the answers were "killing them" because No was winning. like? why is everyone so personally invested in other people having a very specific kind of fun?)

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)
