okay i'm gonna say something and you all have to give me a chance. ready?

we need to stop making fun of poor american southerners who distrust the government. it's real easy to call them all conspiracy theorists and dismiss them, but half the time, its built off of a genuine feeling of being abandoned by the infrastructure meant to keep them safe.

in appalachia, a lot of people lost their homes because of coal mining operations. a lot of people worked in those mines, and then when the mines stopped being profitable, they got tossed out with the bathwater. a lot of appalachia is poor, malnourished, and i don't blame them for not trusting rich politicians who dismiss them as stupid and lower class.

if yall actually listened to half the things poor southerners say, you'd realize that a Lot of common leftist complaints are virtually identical to the rural grandma who doesn't hold with electronic money and politicians. it stems from a genuine feeling of abandonment and ostracization by the people who run the country. functionally, someone living paycheck to paycheck in the city in a tiny apartment has infinitely more in common with someone from rural appalachia than a politician. high rent, high taxes, food insecurity, feeling lied to by those in power, a general sense of frustration. it just sounds fancier coming from a city mouth than one with shitty teeth and a southern accent.

tl;dr stop dismissing southern people as stupid. they're absolutely right not to wholeheartedly trust politicians, because they've been fucked over by them time and time again, and honestly, id rather talk to a southern person who openly distrusts their representatives than someone from the city who wholeheartedly believes that Frederick Jamestown OldMoney III genuinely cares what people think and can be convinced to change his ways.

If u could pls send any of my posts u might find my way that would be swell 🥹

I understand using language that suits your experience, and I would never tell someone not to use the language that describes them best, but you really shouldn't be applying those terms to entire communities who may not use those terms, or worse, might feel attacked by them as slurs. It's about protecting everyone, not just your comfort.

I'm not writing an essay like i did the last time some anon tried to come in here policing language.

If i'm talking about ftms and you don't ID as ftm, i'm not talking about you.

If i'm talking about queers and faggots and dykes and trannies, and you don't identify as those, then i'm not talking about you and you can continue on your way. the use of these words aren't forcing anyone to identify as them.

Believe it or not, you do have the choice to simply mind your business and keep on fucken walkin

Hate how fans use aroacespec identities as a headcanon cop out when a character is anti-social or not human or that fan just doesn’t ship them w anyone etc etc. Hate hate hate hate. As if that’s just how it works. As if no arospec or acespec people have ever been interested in long-term monogamous (and yes even sexual) relationships in the history of time. “Your headcanon of x character marrying y character is invalid because I personally headcanon x as aroace.” “How can z be x character’s child? X is ace!” Yeah? What if rip your stupid little headcanon out of your weakass grip, huh? What if I throw it on the ground and stomp on it? Spit on it too? How about that?
