Thanks for your post about how some trans boys used to be girls and trans girls used to be boys and identified as such. I’ve been imposter syndroming myself into a wall for YEARS. Thank you. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

of course!!!! i think its pretty crazy how common it is to pretend that trans people have a homogenous experience and someone’s personal one somehow says something about theirs, if that makes sense? my relationship to my gender is weird and complicated and i usually disagree with how anyone else puts it anyway

I shit you not I just saw an anti whining that an organization that handles CSEM/CSAM reports ignored the ones about "icky" art

What will it take to get it through these idiots' heads that fictional characters can't suffer abuse and that they're fucking stupid for trying to "protect" the characters when there are real people suffering. Just!! They're so stupid!! How are they this stupid??

They really think they're better than the trained, professional organizations, huh?

Bit of a whinge, sorry.

I am in a predominantly anti-ship fandom. Whatever, I keep my head down.

But something I find really frustrating is this: I personally am unbothered/ scroll on past sexual stuff I don't like, but am very effected by gore, horror, excessive violence etc. I have no major trauma, I am not a minor, and even if I did have an 'excuse' I don't think I should have to have some kind of reason to ask people to tag gory stuff. But so many just don't, or say they do but forget half the time.

Thing is, it's the antis that don't tag it, share it untagged to their sfw blogs, post about characters being suicidal or very violent in their AUs etc. There's always about 10 different vampire AUs with excessive blood-eating and rarely tagged (sometimes with #bl00d, which is just great) - and a lot of them are specifically and militantly anti-proship. Now, since I purged all 'proship dni's from my follow list, I don't see untagged anything unless I go into the character tags.

The source material is happy little animal heroes saving the day, no blood and only cartoon-ish violence, basically immortal characters - so it's not a case of getting out of the kitchen if you don't like heat. Yes, it is probably the one you think.

So, even if I thought fiction was some kind of moral litmus test and that the proshippers sexualising the characters were doing something wrong - my peace and mental wellbeing are still better protected by being around proshippers rather than antis.

Tagging is always great.

Sometimes when i block antis and look at their latest posts out of curiosity, i see opinions i didn't know about but wish i actually didn't know about at all….

There was a clip of a 2 year old kid looking at his mom's butt because she'd bent down to open a drawer, and an anti retweeted the clip implying that it was the reason why there's rapists in the world, basically

Yeah so you see a video of a REAL, LIVING 2 YEAR OLD CHILD staring blankly at his mom who's bending down to open something, your first thought is not only to suggest that the kid is somewhat sexually interested in what he's looking at, but also that this child will one day become a rapist AND i'm supposed to believe that you're the normal person in the room?

The fact that they're thinking that of a real child is wild. Calm down there, Freud.
