Hey everyone! I have a big favor to ask.
I need you to report someone.
One of my posts about the toxicity of fatphobia stereotypes was recently reblogged by a user called @/lagoonadelrey. In the post I was expressing the difficulty of others not taking disordered eating habits seriously unless you're skinny. Her response was "cuz u eat plenty and it shows w ur fat."
Upon a closer inspection, her ENTIRE PAGE is DEDICATED to the demeaning of fat people. Even admitted that in one of her reblogs. Her response to my post was tame in comparison to others. People sharing their insecurities online and her replying things like "yes because you're a fat bitch and no one will love you."
As both punks and Christians in this community (sometimes both😉)... I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you that it's our responsibility to put an end to hate speech.
If we can get enough people to report her, we can stop the possibility of an already insecure person's mental health being further crushed by the hateful, unintelligent, cruel babble of an uneducated and indoctrinated individual. Here's a link to her page:
Reblog the hell out of this!
Let's end fatphobia!

A “dad bod” is disgusting. You don’t deliver babies, you don’t retain fat the way women do. You’re just a fatass. Go to the gym. Push a Boulder up a hill.

whenever someone starts a conversation about the mcr fandom’s extensive past w/ bodyshaming gerard there is ALWAYS that one person who says something along the lines of “i don’t get it [the bodyshaming] because gerard was still sexy even after he gained all that weight” and like oohhhh my god shut the fuck up. shut the fuck up because fat people’s value shouldn’t be placed in whether or not you want to fuck them

Insecure - Simon "Ghost" Riley x reader
Tumblr media
Summary: You have been hiding your body and just yourself overall from Simon the last month leaving him confused.
Warning: Sexual themes (but not smut), language, bodyshaming, angst?
Tumblr media
You were sitting in your apartment watching your favourite show when there was a knock at your door.
You weren't really expecting anyone since it was a Friday night. Most people were out drinking or clubbing.
You walked towards your door and opened it. You were about to close the door again when you saw it was your boyfriend, Simon, but he blocked it with his foot.
Sighing you just opened the door again and let him in. You knew this was going to happen eventually.
"What's wrong, love?" Simon asked once you closed the door. He was now standing in front of you. You felt small under his piercing gaze.
"Nothing, I don't know what you're talking about, Si" You replied with a frown. You began to walk away to sit on your couch but was stopped when Simon grabbed your waist and held you in place.
"Stop lying y/n. Why have you been avoiding me?" Simon asked with a hint of desperation in his voice. He hasn't been able to hold you or see you for that matter for the last two weeks. He was hurt to say the least. He kept thinking that he did something wrong or that you were planning to break up with him.
After a few moments of silence Simon asks again. "Do you want to break up with me?" He asked softly, he's voice cracking at the end of the sentence.
"What?! No, why would I want to do that?" You were confused on how he came to that conclusion. But you then realized why he would think that. You have been avoiding him but not for that reason.
"You've been avoided me for the last two weeks. Did I do something? Tell me what I did wrong and I'll make it up to you. Just please don't leave me" Simon was on the verge of tears now but he wouldn't tell you that. The thought of loosing you was tearing his heart into pieces.
"No Si, you didn't do anything wrong okay. I promise." You held Simon's face in your hands
"Then why have you been avoiding me y/n?" Simon asked you softly while pulling you closer to him.
There was a short moment of silence before you spoke up. You thought it was time to tell the truth. "Some of the women I work with have been body shaming me. It started a few days after you dropped off my lunch at work. They said that the don't know how you aren't disgusted everytime you see me. How you deserve someone prettier that me. Someone with a better body. They said that someone so goodlooking like you don't deserve an ugly girl like me. I'm sorry I let it get to me Si, I just couldn't help it" You looked down at the floor while tears started to stream down your face.
You knew you shouldn't have believed them but you couldn't help it. Your whole life you were bullied because of how you look and you're body. It was never enough for anyone. You were either too skinny or too fat. There was never an in between.
You felt Simon's rough hand under your chin as he lifted your head to make you look at him. He wiped away a few tears that escaped with his thumb.
"Love, everytime I see you, my heart skips a beat. You are the most beautiful person I have ever laid my eyes on. You are so, so, so beautiful. Never forget that." Simon reassured while he sat you down on the couch. He kneeled between your legs and kissed you softly.
"I love your eyes. I love your lips. I love your cheeks. I love your hair. I love your chin. I love your hands. I love you stomach. I love your thighs.-" Simon punctuated everything he loves about you with a kiss on that area.
"I love you. I love all of you, y/n. If something like that happens again tell me. I'll set them straight. Trust me love, they're just jealous of how gorgeous you are. They're jealous because you are beautiful on the inside and the outside." Simon said looking at you with love and admiration. He couldn't believe how you thought other wise. To him, you are the most beautiful thing in the universe. Argue with the wall.
Everything about you made him fall in love with you. How your eyes lit up when someone mentioned your interests. Or how soft your lips are. He loved how you laughed at the most dumbest things. Or your little dance when you finally eat something after a long day. He loved every single thing about you.
"Besides what do they mean by I'm goodlooking? They've never even seen my face. Who says I don't look like a rat?" Simon said jokingly making you laugh and slap his shoulder.
"I love you, y/n. More than anything" Simon said and captured your lips in his.
The kiss was soft and sweet. He has been waiting to kiss you for the last 2 weeks. He savored the taste of your soft lips.
You pulled away after a few seconds to catch your breath. Simon got up from the floor and layed down on the couch. He came here with sweatpants and a T-shirt on so he didn't have to worry about changing. He kicked his shoes off and held his arms open for you.
You layed down onto of him with your head on his chest. His arms were around your waist and he kissed your head every now and then. He whispered soft and sweet nothings into your ear while you drifted off to a peaceful slumber.
"My beautiful girl" Simon whispered softly before falling asleep with you safely in his strong arms.

hey pink!
i was hoping you could offer some encouragement and advice to me. basically the entire luckyvoidgirl thing yesterday, i acctually liked her success story, it made sense to me and i even listened to cee's subliminal and my parents ended up saying i don't have to go to this dumb event i was dreading so im even seeing successes with it
the thing was she said something that i can't stop thinking about. she said that a lot of tumblr is just misinformation and that the original blog that brought the void to tumblr was divineangelbee and she was exposed for lying about the void. everyone just copied whatever she said and kept spreading the same stuff she put out but her own experience was all a lie. it really got me thinking about how educated this community is about loa, like the void state and loa is so intertwined. luckyvoidgirl never said she used loa and she did something different but she got so much flack bc the void community on tumblr is so deeprooted in loa, possibly bc of angel. but anyways for a community that is so deeprooted in loa, so many people haven't entered and even worse, so many bloggers have been exposed for lying about their success story. the crazy thing is its so easy to lie on tumblr so the fact that so many have gotten caught makes me wonder how many we haven't even caught and really how does a community that knows loa struggle like this.
idk i just can't stop thinking about this and was hoping for some guidance.
hey love! im technically on break but you're not the only one spiraling so i rlly wanted to answer this.
first of all, i want to say she's just lying and this community is great but i can't. the truth of the matter is she is right. the person who brought the void to tumblr was @divineangelbee and she was the one who went around saying it was super easy and anyone can do it and she was and is still pretty much the blueprint for how a lot of voidstate tumblr thinks, but she was exposed for harassing her friends to enter the void for her. since then, many other bloggers who basically parrot the same thing as her have been exposed as well.
however i want to highlight something here. just because someone preaches something and it doesn't work out for them doesn't mean it's false. this is a super old argument, like back when bloggers like cleo and raven were super popular but people were arguing abt Sammy Ingram. basically she was a big affirm and persist girlie and people were going at her for saying this but never losing any weight (her main goal with manifestation was to lose weight but she never did and just gaslighted anyone who pointed it out, saying they were bodyshaming her). while something was off for sammy (maybe she didn't persist or maybe she just didn't bother doing her method at all), her method worked for so many people. there's boatloads and boatloads of success stories from her videos and methods. so someone can be lying about the void and still be giving legit advice.
however, the void state community on tumblr DOES have a lot of misinformation. ive seen people claim the void state is just SATS, just alpha state, theta state, delta state, it's acc just a placebo for you to guarantee manifestations, and all sorts of nonsense. now there's a new addition, people who tell you to pay money and they'll get you into the void state. it's honestly crazy how hard the community went against the luckyvoidgirl but not some of the other stuff i see here.
but anyways, what do you do?
you need to realize that you entering the void has nothing to do with the state of the void community on tumblr. people lying abt entering the void doesnt make the void a lie, it makes them a liar.
ive been in that position where i hailed bloggers and felt attached to this community so drama here messed with me internally. you shouldn't be doing that. please read my Doubts post where i talk about overcoming this and also provide many sources of proof that the void is real so that you don't need to rely on tumblr to know that:
also it helps to find a few reputable sources. i just wanted to give a shout out to someone rn: @voidprincessblog
her page is the page i would recommend to everyone. you can tell the amount of research and effort she puts into every post and you can trust her to be a reputable source on info.
im going to attach this other post of mine for you as well:
i wish you the best of luck on your void journey and hope this helps! 💟

☆ thinkin bout . . .
. . . trad husband!anakin and trad wife!reader
Tumblr media
𖦹 misogyny, abusive anakin, chauvinistic anakin, selfish anakin, hate sex(?), hair pulling, slapping, bodyshaming, this is so mid 𖦹 accompanied by Back Door Man ⋆ The Doors
Tumblr media
you were chatting away on the phone when the front door opened. you had just put your daughter down for bed, dinner was prepared, and now he was home.
your husband Anakin was a nice enough man. when he wasn't pummeling you into the ground. he never drank, so he couldn't defend himself with the 'i was drunk' argument. he didn't have to, because he had no shame. he was a firm believer in traditional gender roles - the man goes out, makes money, and comes home. the wife stays home, cleans, cooks, looks after the kids, welcomes her husband home, does what he asks without question.
an extremely outdated way of thinking, sure, but it oddly enough worked out for the two of you. you had cut off contact with your entire family per Anakin's request, barely (if ever) went out of the house, spent so much time catering to your home that you could clean every crevice with your eyes closed.
but, you liked it. for some reason.
Anakin walks into the living room and you could tell from his aura alone that he had a bad day. without bidding your friend on the other line farewell, you put the phone back onto the base, and stand up. you waited for your husband to speak, but he reared his hand back. with a sneer, he strikes you across the face so hard you stagger and reach to grip the arm of the couch to steady yourself before you could hit the floor.
he just stands there, staring down at you as you get your bearings. "is she asleep?" he asks in reference to your daughter. you nod and stand up, smoothing out your dress. "yes." he nods and begins to loosen his tie. at least he had the courtesy of making sure your daughter would be alright in the time he fucked you.
he turns you around and pushes you down, your hands going to grab onto the back of the couch. this has happened so many times, you already knew the routine. bend over for him, let him use you, and wait until he goes to bed to get yourself off.
after bunching your dress up at your hips, Anakin tugs your panties down spits onto his cock, then slides into you. you hated having sex with Anakin due to his 'taking' attitude. he never made sure to at least pleasure you. it didn't feel romantic, so it didn't feel good. early into your marriage, you brought it up, but that ended with a punch to the face and Anakin screaming at you. needless to say, you learned quick to keep things to yourself.
you ended up lost in your thoughts as Anakin poured all his anger into fucking you. his hand was tangled in your hair, yanking on it and making you wince. his other hand was on your hip, nails digging into your skin. "you've let yourself go," he mutters, making you roll your eyes. you had a 5 month old, of course you had put on weight. what did he expect? you to drop all the weight right after giving birth? then again, he had no care to learn about how women worked, so there was no point in trying to explain.
like every other night, once he cums, he pulls out of you and tucks himself in, then walks off. doesn't even fix your clothes or bother to clean you up. you pull your panties up and tug your dress down, then plop down onto the couch. you glance at the clock. at least he'd be asleep soon. a temporary break until the cycle of his bullshit repeats.

what if peaches (unexpected) had already been pregnant from colin by the time lloyd met her?
Unkind
Note: this got out of hand.
Warnings: Lloyd being a jerk yet again, mentions of cheating, pregnancy, bodyshaming.
Please provide thoughts and feedback! I had fun doing this and hope to do some more in response to your guys' asks! Thank you for all your support. 💜
Tumblr media
You stare through the glass, so clean and clear, it’s as if it’s even there. You wistfully admire the fine leather and silver, the gleaming watch faces with their ticking slender arms. Sparkling, shining, expensive. Too expensive for you.
That would be most things these days. With a baby on the way. You can’t afford luxuries. You can’t even save up and surprise Colin. That one. The silver and blue. That’s the one you would get him, if only.
Your vision shifts and you see your reflection across from you. Your bloated cheeks, your tired eyes, the tiny bump peeking out from your unzipped jacket. No, you’re not here to buy a gift for your husband, just to exchange his new shoes for the right size.
A shadow darkens through the window of the jewelry shop and your sight pinpoints on the man inside. He looks up from the watches with a smirk. Slicked hair, a rather bold choice of facial hair, and bold blue eyes. They fall down to your stomach as the muscles in his cheeks tense. He gives half a smirk.
You frown and back away. Strange. You wouldn’t call it a look, more a leer. You feel your phone buzzing and reach into your pocket. You fish out your phone as you waddle away. You’re not that pregnant, not yet, but there’s no hiding it now.
You answer and suppress a groan. Your back is killing you. It doesn’t get better, just less or more agonizing. 
“Hey,” Colin meets your blunt greeting, “so sorry, babe, I’m caught up at the office today. Looks like another late night.”
“Really?” You sigh in disappointment, “I was hoping… I was going to cook you dinner before I went to work.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it,” he insists, “really. You should try to relax.”
“You’re right, I guess,” you find one of the long pleather sofas they have along the wide walkways of the mall and sit. The stiff cushions aren’t meant for comfort. “I just gotta exchange your shoes,” you set the bag beside you and reach to rub your lower back, “and uh, go home, I guess. I’ll leave dinner in the oven.”
“Ah, don’t worry about me. I’ll probably just order in here.”
You nod as you teeth your lip anxiously. A figure sits further down the sofa and you do your best to ignore it.
“Uh, yeah, alright,” you mutter, “love ya.”
“You too, babe,” he replies. 
The call ends. You look at your phone glumly before tucking it away. You go to grab the back but it crinkles as the stranger beside you pulls it open to peek inside. You turn to sneer at him and snatch it up by the handles.
“Hey,” you snip.
“Nice shoes. Bit big for a newborn,” he muses. It’s the same man, from the shop window.
You shake your head and slide to the edge, standing with some effort and a grunt. You don’t need to engage with this weirdo.
“You’re out here buying the baby daddy new shoes while he’s stuck at the office fucking his secretary, huh?”
You scoff and roll your eyes, “excuse me?”
“Ah,” he slaps his thighs before he stands, “I read somewhere that the most likely time for a husband to cheat is during the pregnancy. You see, you got all these changes going on. You get moody, you get whiny, and your ass gets fat.” He leans to the side and eyes your butt, “fatter.”
You wrinkle your nose in disgust and try to sidestep him. What a fucking creep. You didn’t ask and you don’t want to hear it.
“I say you take those shoes back and treat yourself to something nice down at the jeweler. I’d suggest a pearl necklace,” he snickers as he blocks your path, “you got a great neck for it, toots.”
“Get out of my way.”
“Look, the truth is hard. It hurts. It pisses you off. I heard your phone call, doll face, he’s not staying late at the office. Trust me.”
“I don’t fucking know you.”
“Oooh, and with a mouth like that, how is he not absolutely obsessed?” His voice grits in a way that makes you shudder.
“I didn’t ask and I don’t care,” you rebuff, “now excuse me.”
You elbow past him and he lets you. You realise, if he wanted to, he could easily corner you there. Especially since you can’t move very fast.
“Think about it. You know, I’d even buy you diamonds for a good blow job,” he taunts, “you got a pretty mouth.”
“Yeah, and you got a big one,” you toss back over your shoulder as you hurry away, lowering your voice to mumble beyond his comprehension, “jerk.”
💎
You get the right size of shoes after waiting nearly forty minutes in line and at the till as they searched the backroom. You check the new receipt and nearly blanch. Wow, that’s a lot for shoes. Only last weak, Colin reamed you out on how much you spent for the good toilet paper. Well, you suppose they’re a necessity for work. He just got that big promotion.
You take the new pair and head out. You search for a sign and find the bathrooms just past the food court. With the pressure off your bladder, you come back out and resist the temptation of the Cinnabon that greets you. You set off on your escape from the materialistic maze and ignore the jewelry shop as you pass it a second time.
You come out to the parking lot and deflate as you remember how far you had to park. God, your back is fucked. You need to lay down. You don’t know how you’re going to make it through work.
You head down the row and find your beat up car. You open the back door and put the bag on the floor. You swing the door shut and open the driver’s, turning to sit sideways on the seat as you wheeze and cry out. The twinge in your back as you shaking as you grip the interior.
Fuck!
You huff through the pain and steel yourself. You can make it home. Then you can relax and save your energy for work. You can’t call in again. Colin will flip.
“So,” a voice startles you before you can turn in the seat, “what do you think?”
The man with the mustache appears again, stepping out from behind the nearby SUV. He pulls a string of diamonds out of his sleeves and lets them dangle. He wiggles the necklace and gives a wink.
“You deserve something pretty… and I deserve my dick sucked,” he cackles, “you know, you could even pawn it so you have money for diapers.”
“Ew,” you twist in the seat and hold back another groan, “not interested, weirdo.”
“Come on, when’s the last time he fucked you?”
“Get out of here,” you reach for the door.
“No, I’m serious. Those funbags are already fucking huge and they’re only going to get bigger. He should be motorboating them like he’s on the goddamn lake–”
“Stop,” you go to pull the door open but he’s quick to strut forward and grab the top, holding it open. “Hey, let go, you fucking–”
“I’m offering you what you’re not getting anywhere else.”
“Speak for yourself,” you sniff. Things have been tense but they’ll get better. Besides, you don’t know this man. You don’t care what he thinks.
“Ah, well, how about I buy you dinner first. You must be starving and I can play the gentleman–”
“Not interested–”
“It’s a good deal–”
“You’re a fucking creep,” you snap and wrench on the door.
Caught off guard, his arms slackens and you manage to pinch his fingers in the door. He yelps and recoils as you let the door open just slightly and slam it once he rescinds his hand. He shakes out his fingers as he bends and growls.
You hit the locks and shove your keys into the ignition. He stands straight, clutching the diamonds and his injured hands as his eyes blaze in your direction. You shift into gear and grip the wheel, foot hovering over the pedal.
“Oh, this isn’t over, sweet cheeks,” his voice is muffled through the window, “you wait. You’ll be begging for this when you catch that fuckboy with shooting his swimmers into another slut’s pool–”
You stomp on the gas and veer out of the spot. You tremble as your ears ring and your eyes water. He’s wrong. He doesn’t know you. Or Colin. 
Maybe you could still surprise Colin. Maybe you can bring dinner to him. Eat with him at the office before you go off for your shift. Just like when he first started there. Maybe it will remind him of how things used to be, not what they’ve come to.

Hello brainrot :D
Can i ask for a mini hc on how M6 would react to a chubby MC being embarrased about wearing a pretty dress in front of M6. MC thinks they look 'ugly' in it because they have been bodyshamed by their own mother since childhood and even though she's dead, her words still haunt MC.
Thanks :))
The Arcana Mini-HCs: M6 when MC's body insecurity makes them embarrassed
Julian: frowns. disappears into his study to compose a long love poem about all the ways you look lovely to him. ends up thirty minutes late to your date because the rhyming was hard
Asra: showers you with sly compliments until you're too flustered to dwell on your pain anymore. grumbles to faust later about how annoyed they are at the person who gave it to you
Nadia: frowns and tells you that she knows she has good taste and that if she prefers you as her favorite model then whoever suggested otherwise clearly didn't know what they were talking about
Muriel: ... well if big and ugly mean the same thing, what does that say about him? won't allow you to compliment his size until you're ready to accept the same positive comments about yourself
Portia: looks you dead in the eyes with a terrifying determination and asks you if she looks good. yeah? well then so do you. say it. say it now, MC, she dares you. say it or she'll tickle you until you give in
Lucio: greatly annoyed that some person he doesn't even know is keeping him from getting to see MC in a cute dress. throws an oddly loving tantrum about it that gets your self esteem up again

the "t will make you look like your dad" arguement caused me to rethink medical transition solely because i do Not want to look like that fucker. i definitely think it should be talked about in a different way especially within the community thats more likely to have iffy parent-child relationships
its my least favorite “joke” in the community because 1) not fucking true or proven in any way shape or form 2) the reason you just pointed out and 3) is using very tangential reasoning (that t does in fact vary pretty heavily and you will not be able to 100% predict how it will work for you) combined with the fact that due to body image issues and internalized transphobia crossing wires in a lot of people’s heads that the ‘ideal’ transmasc body does tend to sometimes skew smaller and more ‘conventially attractive’ in a lot of younger trans men’s brains in a way that comes off as highly judgmental and lowkey kind of ‘you’re not really trans if you don’t want to look like a REAL man’ way while at the same time implying fat and hairy trans men or trans men with hair loss are less attractive but a sacrifice you have to make. It’s very weird and unfunny and it reminds me a bit too much of old transmeddy shit.
There should be a wider education of what testerone does and does not do to your body, but that’s more so because the internet spreads this exact kind of misinfo like wildfire and perpetuates a culture of there being subsects within transmasculinity rather than it being an individualized experience. I have rarely seen a trans man upset because ‘t didn’t turn him into a fairy prince’ but i’ve seen plenty who were upset that bodyshaming within the community and misinformation shaped their transition so heavily. It straight up does not matter what someone wants from their transition or where they end up with it. Speaking about it this way only leads to weird crossed wires in peoples heads leading them to think that their wants towards transition is unhealthy or wrong. You can not know for sure how testosterone will affect you. And if it affects you in a way you are uncomfortble with, there are other options and ways of dealing with it. The issue is so much blantant misinfo being spread online and such little in person trans educatuon that rumors and jokes take off before some trans guys are even able to verify the last one.

I think the fundamental problem a lot of people in this fandom are facing is that both biphobia and homophobia are so deeply ingrained in social spaces (of which fandom is one) that identifying them becomes so, so dicey and complicated for some people to grasp. Ordinarily, I am not someone who gravitates toward labels, but in the case of identifying prejudices, it's important to use as specific a label as is available. One of the reasons white leftists, for example, think they cannot be racist is because many of them treat black people as equals. But when those same white leftists lobby racist jokes at Asians, for example, and are subsequently called out on it, they will swear that they most assuredly are not, and cannot, be racist. This is because AAPI racism is different from BIPOC racism, and thus manifests itself differently.
Similarly, homophobia (directed towards gay men) is different from lesbophobia (directed towards gay women), in the same way that aphobia (directed towards asexual people) is different from biphobia (directed towards bisexual people), and so on, even though there are places where all these phobias intersect, i.e. corrective rape, use of slurs, domestic abuse, etc. When people talk about homo/bi/a/lesbophobia in fandom, very rarely are they talking about blanket instances of homophobia that we can all relate to (things like being ostracized, abused, treated differently, etc). In most instances, people are talking about specific and targeted treatment and responses that people who do not fall under those categories might not pick up on.
So when I say that the response to Buck possibly being queer is both homophobic and biphobic, what I mean is that regarding his love for Eddie as something innocent and pure, while simultaneously regarding his sex / sex drive / any future gay fling he might have as something sleazy, uncomfortable, embarrassing, or gross, is wrong. When I say that making snide remarks about Tommy's age is both homophobic and biphobic (with a little bit of bodyshaming and ageism thrown in there too), what I mean is that that idea that he's "too old" or "weird" or "creepy" for potentially having a thing for Buck calls back to the age-old stereotype that gay men / sex between men is inherently predatory, dirty, shameful, and illegal. When I say that going to bisexual fans and shaming them for their sex / sex drives or implying that bisexual sex or sexual/romantic relationships are somehow inherently shameful, dirty, or promiscuous—well, this should hopefully speak for itself, but this too, is also biphoic and also very, very harmful and wrong.
Aside from the last point (which can only be interpreted one way), I'm almost certain that no one in this fandom intends for their words or actions to come across as harmful because, as I mentioned last night, at the end of the day, we are all still here because of the love between two men. But similar to the aforementioned hypothetical white leftist at the top of this post, being "okay" with one group of people, or, in this instance, one iteration of a group of people (i.e. happy, monogamous queer/gay men) does not automatically mean you are okay with all of them (i.e. salacious, promiscuous, non-monogamous gay men), nor does it mean you are immune to internalizing and subsequently regurgitating harmful ideals.
We are all living in an era now where queer stories are both more accessible, and more under fire than ever. So it's important, as queer people in a largely queer fandom, to be conscious about checking our biases at the door and being open to learning when someone rings you up about something. It's not comfortable. It's deeply unpleasant, and the instinctive response is to be defensive because none of us want to be faced with the fact that we still have work to do. None of us want to be "that guy," nor do we want to be "problematic." But we are problematic, we wouldn't be human if we weren't, and we all have work that needs to be done on ourselves so that we can be the best versions of ourselves, for our sakes and for the sakes of others.
Only once that's been taken care of can we discourse about ships and different character readings all day long. But we must first do the work and look within ourselves to make sure we are engaging with each other, and each other's sexualities, through a core of mutual understanding and respect for each other as human beings and how we identify. Otherwise we are, unironically and quite literally, doing society's work for them and letting prejudice invade a space it does not belong.
So. Yeah. That's all I have to say. Shutting up now.

so many people on ur incel post thinking that a Bad Person doesn't deserve any compassion, and any and all punishments become justified, despite those punishments being totally incompatible with feminist ideas.
this is the same thought process behind denying incarcerated people their rights
Also like... I am 10000% sure that, especially online, there are young boys in those communities who are there because they feel like shit and think it's the only community that they can have that will support them. See this reply by @havinganormalone
Tumblr media
Most of these guys are not mass shooters or murderers. There's a good chance they are assholes of varying degrees of severity, and pretty much guaranteed to be some level of misogynistic.
But I don't want anyone to end up hurting themselves out of self hatred!!!!! Sorry but I don't!!!! I want them to stay alive to have the chance to become better people!!!! I don't enjoy wishing for the deaths of people in hate groups. If there is no other way to protect vulnerable groups I'm not against it, but ideally I want them to grow and change as people. And I am committed to seeing people's humanity and suffering, because pain is where the vast majority of shitty actions come from. So we can't deal with those shitty actions without confronting the fact that the people who do them are not mindless robots of evil, they are people who are hurting. We can hold people accountable AND acknowledge their pain.
& people keep saying "we don't hate them for their dysmorphia we hate them for being incels" but why do you think a lot of those guys ARE incels?? A lot of them view themselves as inherently ugly & unlovable. And you are mocking their self-hatred. That's not helpful. If an incel, like, gets punched by a woman for being a misogynist and cries about it online, I am gonna think it was well-deserved. But this is about them self-harming as a result of self-hatred, which is deeply concerning when it happens to anyone. & I very much did see people saying things which encouraged the idea that their dysmorphia was justified or mocking them for not just getting plastic surgery. Just like how people mock incels for being fat neckbeards!! Which people also justify by saying "well they are a hate group!!" so they dont have to think critically about why they are okay with bodyshaming when its against "bad people".
Incel ideology as I understand is built on the pessimism of men who feel they are inherently less than conventionally attractive men. They view themselves as inherently lesser people because they don't fit conventional masculine standards. And blame women for this because they are misogynists who haven't critically examined their misogyny and so they ignore the way the patriarchy is the one doing this to them. But if you are going to fix an issue you need to address the root cause. And the root cause here is self-hatred. Incels self-harming because they think they need a certain bone structure to be attractive isn't a coincidence, its fundamentally related to their incel-ness. & again I can't imagine there will never be a young boy who isn't even involved in those spaces who will see that or smth like it and feel like it would fix his self-esteem issues.
& you are very right about the incarcerated thing. The idea that "bad people" deserve no compassion & deserve every bad thing that happens to them is how horrific abuse in prison gets justified. And some of those people are innocent or jailed for objectively stupid crimes, but many aren't. And they don't deserve that abuse, especially since many of them are criminals because of some sort of suffering they experience.
Tumblr in general encourages revenge & dehumanization of "bad" people. Its no better than the criminal justice system in that regard, telling us that revenge is helpful, punishment is helpful, and we should all feed our gut desire to see bad people suffering as much as possible. & I do not subscribe to that. I don't think you can really be a prison abolitionist and subscribe to that (& in a larger sense I dont think you can hope to built a better society than we have currently and think like that). It's hard work sympathizing with people who do awful things but like I said, you can't let dehumanization thought patterns take root in your mind. I am very devoted to having compassion for everyone & once again people are surprised when that includes EVERYONE.
I'm not even really doing this for incels. I don't get in debates with people unless I believe they will actually listen to what I say and consider it in good faith, and many incels won't. But I'm not going to be a person who encourages this kind of self-harm, and I especially don't want to be someone who does that and justifies it to myself because they are "bad people" who "deserve it". I'm no cop or prison guard. And if there is someone who might be open to that kind of deprogramming, I want them to see my blog as a space that has compassion for their suffering. I want them to get better, not kill themselves and never get that chance. You can't have both.
