hearing my professor say "sex workers" in class after and while literally and explicitely talking about nonwestern victims of sex trafficking using those terms like. im gonna eat my own tongue. im gonna scream so loudly and so silently it will burst my lungs. im going to become a black hole.
in general i find that term to be so fucking offensive bc it can only maybe apply to a very very small minority of well off economically privileged women who "choose" to do "sex work" (and even many of them talk abt feeling exploited - almost like prostitution is inherently expolitative wow) but. you know sometimes those "sex workers" are the only ones ppl rly picture, they dont picture street prostitution, hitckhiker hookers, sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, that the averege age of entering prostitution is 14, drug addiction, pimps, constant violence, etc
but. dear lord help me. in the context of literally taking explicitely about victims of "sex" trafficking in relation to poverty. to still have this postmodern god forsaken fucking nightmare so dug into your hear you say SeX WoRkErs;;; I ;;; I. Honestly im so offended. Its so fucking offensive. Like i almost wanna fucking cry. And she aint even white lmao shes indian like maam as a fellow immigrant please stop parroting the western bullshit i beg you. its so god damn fucking offensive and this bullshit is passed off as progressive and right and parroted by professors and taught as a given and preached and taught uncritically and then parroted by students and then. someone posts it online and some idiot reads it tells it to another idiot who tells it to another idiot. And then this insanity affects the whole westenrn "FeMinIsM" movement. And then, not only do I personally have to deal with a bunch of fucking idiots who have the gull to tell ME how the fuck I cant or can speak and how I should fucking feel when they dont got a single damn clue, BUT ALSO. this sort of cultural fucking idiocracy leads to real life impacts. Ala, western european states legalizing prostitution, thus the horrid rise of sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, child pornography, etc, of mainly balkan, roma, refugee, immigrant, poor, etc etc women. Ala, there was this article written by a Romanian prostitute in spain. She was complaining about how because of this sex work narrative now even more men come to prostitutes bc theyve bought this bullshit narrative of the "happy sex worker" so. now, they have to put all this extra fucking emotional effort into pretending like theyre enjoying what these men are doing to them and like they want it and all this shit. Which, let me tell you, its a whole lot easier to just dissociate when you get used to being regularly raped than it is to have to pretend like you fucking want it and enjoy it too. Something along the lines, these men want your soul not just your body, and this much worse...... And how, because of this, they also have to invest more in makeup and shit to look "well" which fuether just sinks them into the whole cycle which is quite hard to get out of. So. So.
As far as Im concerned. All the god forsaken postmodern nonsense that is propagated in western social sciences academica - has real life fucking effects. It has. The things written, the things discussed, the things professors say. Ive said before, that maybe postmodernism has some academic value (though we didnt need french people to be like, yo dude did you know multiple perspectives on life exist? inssne!). But. It doesnt fucking stay in academica. None of this bullshit stays in academica. And apart from this sort of bullshit not even being "feminism" and being inherently detrimental to the unity needed for social movements, inherently complacent, inherently antirevolutionary, inherently fucking REEKING of western individualism and selfishness up the fucking ass,,,,,,,,,it has real life fucking affects.
Westerners whove never fucking been through any of this shit sit in universities coming up with all these fucking theories but who pays the price. Who pays the god damn fucking price? Who? For their thought experiments? For these societal experiemnts? For these bullshit western ideas of freedom and progress and feminism? We do. My people do. We do. God fucking damn it
#Im gonna eat glass#Im not going to stay in academia but if i was. I think theyd kick me out of the anthropology department#before i got my phd#fuck this shit#Someone needs to fucking do something about it. Someone needs to fucking critique it form the inside#which i can actually say i did lmao because i <3 showed up at office hours <3 and uhh#said my peace.#which im sure she wasnt expecting but. im also genuinely glad she listened. i guess#its a big harder to just cancle someone or tell them to shut up#when they tell you frankly tat they were sex trafficked as a child and come from one of the sex trafficking#capitals of the world#like. <3 sorry lol i have more a right to speak then you! lovely! great!#i didnt direct it at her in particular lmao i went a roundabout way of critiquing what i called privileged western bullshit#but im sure she also got that I was biting back against the sex work thing while speaking abt fucking victims of sex trafficking#AND lmaoo i did go on a very short but well put together quip abt postmodernism being inherently individualistic#and detrimental to movements and literally funded by the CIA in class lmao SOmEONE NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING#just enough to get people looking and curious and wanting answers and QUESTIONING THIS SHIT#i came back to this country after being back home having none of this shit dkdkd#............. how you can even be from india and admit you've seen the horrors of street prostitution and still propagate the sex work shit#in the same breath is beyond me#it really is#and how you can propagate these western narratives of individualistic ChOiCe#while also teaching abt nonwestern concepts which view equality and freedom in nonindivualistic terms#...... maaam...... how is the cognitive dissonance not hitting#...... this was some weeks ago but like. idk thinking back on it its like#again lmao. its so fucking offensive. its........ how fucking deep do you have to be to explicitely speak about sex trafficking victims#stricke by poverty and call them sex workers#.....................#...#like maam. maybe youve been in this country too long. maybe youve been in westenrn academica too long. its time to wake up a bit

im gna ramble abt this sci fi magical idol girl oc universe lol
so earth isnt entirely uninhabitable but its like.. p bad so basically theres this massive artificial city thats just... kinda floating. near the moon. ya. idk enough abt space to make this  like.. realistic but ya kno. its kinda dome shaped. its HUGE like id say the size of vancouver island maybe?? maybe bigger? its got a couple different environments in it
anyways its been around for a couple hundred years now so there r generations of ppl whove never known wat its like to grow up on earth.
so ANYWAYS .. have u ever wacthed the josie n pussycats movie? ya if this universe were a comic.. the plot would essentially b like that but with more  space stuff
ok ontoooo characters
coco: leader of all six, orange and white colour scheme, butterfly themed moves.. fun fact i dreamed about her design and drew her as soon as i woke up.. thats how she happened. shes always loved dancing n singing n shes v sweet. she tries to b a mediator whne her pals r fighting. she likes going on “nature” walks and likes reading about earth history
bijoux: yellow and white colour scheme, diamond themed moves, elegant  an  soft. i havent fleshed out her character that much. shes quiet when speaking but has a loud voicce when singing
nova: green and white colour scheme, spacey themed moves  essentially the nozomi of the group lmao.. secretly an alien space princess but no one knows that. has a big ol crush on bijoux
bionka: purple and black colour scheme. big emo nerd gay.   thats it. her hair  is weird. her moves r like... goth or somehning
tiff: blue and black colour scheme. bionkas twin sister, chaotic good. rly sporty and nimble but very strong. dont  fuck with her. she doesnt even rly rely on fancy magical girl moves she just gets in a fist fight with god. embodiment of the >:3c face
apple: pink n black colour scheme, literally just created her now so all i got is that shes a hopeless romantic n eats up those shitty romance novels. shes akways wanted a prince to sweep her off her feet but she eventually realizes that prince is gonna b tiff!!!!!!!!! she thinks shes straight but she is Not.  shes   bi. 
also ya of course bionka n coco r gay 2
everyoens is gay
and so basically theyre an idol group sometimes? n sometimes they r subunits? or mayb they r rival bands? or.. hm ! idk. huh!! hummmmmm.. ahh!! idk im excited!! this concept n these characters have been sitting in my head for a while now so im happy!!!
mayb i can somehow tie in my weird monster sanctuary universe into this.. mayb not tho hm!!
