at the end of the day we're all just damaged people trying to comfort one another
Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:
- Not all Men are evil
- Everyone has the capacity for evil
- Transgender Men are men
- Transgender Women are women
- Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
- Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
- Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
- Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"
Anyone can be
Non-Binary, there is no
“look” or requirement
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Thought long and hard about posting this cuz frankly I wanted to be left the fuck out of it despite it somewhat involving me. But hey. Fuck it. Since these mfs wanna harass a rape victim, and defend proven abusers, groomers and (self admitted) rapists, and harass me and others while also calling me a pedo with no actual basis to do so:
Stop supporting Wis and Salem (Formerly known as Puppychan).
Before y'all jump to defend these mfs, PLS for the love of GOD do your own research and look at the evidence that has been brought to light for a while now over on
This is not a fucking harassment campaign. It's not a blog made to harass anyone. It is a safe space for victims to speak out and evidence to be brought forward. I am sick of ppl just sweeping this under the rug because Salem is a decent artist and a former victim of kiwifarms.
Queer ppl, poc, and victims are all calling you out. You can't keep saying all of us are evil nazi farmers. We aren't. We just don't want ppl like yall to keep spreading harm in communities that should be safe for others. You shouldn't be given a free pass to be blatantly transphobic or racist either, Salem and Wis. Just cuz y'all are minorities yourselves. Being poc or queer does not shield you from criticism when it's rightfully deserved. Many of the ppl calling y'all out are queer, poc or both.
And the fact that Wis has been openly harassing and stalking a literal rape victim while being racist as fuck about it and no one bats an eye or actually looks into the damning evidence is beyond me. STOP defending this. AND STOP defending my stalker Majora, too. No one chased her offline for being trans. She has been proven time and time again to be an abuser, liar, and has a long inappropriate history around kids online. This isn't about my personal beef with her. She is a genuine danger to others. AND NO I did not make this blog. I have no affiliation to it other than the few times I have submitted asks to clear my name and give my side of events.
This is not generally something I ever do but when y'all are out here making claims with no evidence to try to ruin my career while mountains of evidence lay behind your actions, idk man.
Yall make me sick.
This isn't us lolcowing you. I HATE lolcow culture and I genuinely feel sorry for what happened to Salem in the past but this is ridiculous.
And if you come at me trying to accuse me of harassing these mfs for this post without actually LOOKING at the evidence and doing research first I am hard blocking your ass. I will NOT argue with you if you're going to choose to be so willfully ignorant. Not every callout is done in bad faith.
These assholes have sent members of their audience to my own comment sections to harass me and accuse me of shit I've never even done. Also sent their audience members to harass the mentioned rape victim telling them to kill themselves while none of us reached out directly at all. A lot of ppl are too afraid to. Fuck you.
Yeah nah. Ppl need to be made aware. Cuz Salem keeps claiming everyone criticizing him is a racist, transphobic kiwi farmer when that ain't the case.
And Wis keeps saying all of this is just ppl committing acts of transphobia trying to chase innocent trans ppl offline. It ain't the case.
These mfs are rape apologist, groomer defenders, racist as all fuck and in some cases, transphobic themselves. They're performative and use leftism as a way to prop themselves up for attention. They are not safe for poc, queer ppl or victims of assault to be around. I wish their audience would stop blindly believing their claims when all of their stories change constantly while all their victims stories remain the same and unchanged.
For those not in the know, this is one of the Amanita mushrooms referred to as a Destroying Angel. Never, ever, ever, ever forage with an app. Especially for mushrooms.
HI GUYS I'm being controversial on the internet again! Today in two hours at 2pm EST I'll be talking about how the hatedom surrounding Vivienne "Vivziepop" Medrano is cringe and 90% misogyny.
I just rewatched both Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel for this so if you like me being a pedantic nerd this stream is for you!
Okay stream is delayed as I seem to be having upload speed and mic issues right now. Gonna roll back the Windows update.

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.
There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.
Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.
It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.
It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.
And yes that includes that shitty video game, yes that includes the Lego sets, yes it includes visiting the theme park. Stop giving Transphobia Georg money.
And if you still have a Hogwarts house listed in your bio... delete that shit.
YOU hate JK Rowling!
To anyone who follows me, I don't care about nor trust Colossal Biosciences anymore (The people behind the "Wooly Mice"). They have proven themselves to be headline-chasing grifters after this latest stunt. They are claiming to have de-extincted *Aenocyon dirus*, aka the Dire Wolf, by editing just 20 genes from the the DNA of a Grey Wolf (*Canis lupus*) to make this thing:
If it wasn't clear from their scientific names, Grey Wolves and Dire Wolves aren't remotely related to one another aside from being Canids, despite what pop culture like Game of Thrones would have you believe. If they did look like each other, it would have had to be via convergent evolution, as they only shared a common ancestor over 5 million years ago.
This distinction, however, isn't found in the publicized articles about this so-called resurrected Dire Wolf and makes their claim that they brought the Dire Wolf back by simply editing *20* genes from the genome of a Grey Wolf laughable. A Dire Wolf would have shared more in common genetically with a Maned Wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*) or Bush Dog (*Speothos venaticus*) than it would with a Grey Wolf.
Bottom line, don't fall for whatever this company is trying to tell you. If the Dire Wolf were to be brought back, it wouldn't be via something like this, and certainly wouldn't *look* like this. If you want an idea as to how a real Dire Wolf would look like in life, here is some fantastic paleoart by artist Mauricio Antón:
Addendum: I seem to have partially miscalculated Dire Wolf genetics. They were not closer to Maned Wolves or Bush Dogs, but they were still not closely related to Grey Wolves. They were basal members of Canini, related to canids like Jackals (genus Lupulella) but distinct from them. I am sorry for this misinformation in my attempt to correct other misinformation. My main point, however, is still correct.
Yeah, I saw this and my immediate thought was "these people don't know what they're doing". My second thought was, "these people know what they're doing is a scam". Either way, I've always been very suspicious of Colossal's, well, colossal claims, and now it's clear they're full of shit
Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they don’t know In The Context Of:
More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about “finding other gays” or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and I’m like :)))))))) hey buddy I’m here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))
Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Don’t call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you don’t even know me? Especially when there’s a bunch of ppl around?
i was out with my ex once when three *very* young queer kids, like thirteen years old, came up to us and asked us “are you guys, you know…” and did the limp wrist thing at us. one of them loudly exclaimed that it was so cool to meet other queer people in real life. this was in public in an unbelievably conservative area - we didn’t even feel safe holding hands because we were surrounded by Mormons. we got lucky that day, but I’m begging y’all to remember that the world doesn’t work like the internet. other queers are real fuckin people. don’t do this shit. OP is right; tell me you like my jacket, or my patches, or the rainbow spokes on my wheelchair, but don’t out either of us!
This used to be standard operating procedure not even ten years ago: NEVER OUT OTHER QUEERS, even if they’re supposedly already out. Never assume that it’s okay to let third parties know that so-and-so is queer. Ever. You never know when you’ve found the one uncle with the heart condition that they can’t bear to risk telling, or the one neighbor who’s just threatening enough that they don’t mention it around, or even the grandma that they haven’t gotten around to mentioning it to yet. You might have just ruined a very important milestone for someone, or you could have put them at actual risk of harm.
Also… stop freaking assuming. If you don’t see a pride flag on them, please don’t just assume. You can’t tell ANYTHING about a person’s gender or partner preferences by what they’re wearing on any given day, what their hair looks like, or whether or not they’re using makeup. You legit cannot, and you look like a jerk when you try.
this is even more important now that Trump is in power.
some people will be choosing to live in the closet and it is not your job to pressure them one way or the other.
protect your lgbtq siblings - honor their choices - and never talk to cops, collaborators, and snitches.
Younger queer people have grown up in a better world, but we’re in a time of backsliding right now. Do NOT out other queer people. Also, I’m not gonna tell you how to present yourselves in public………..but please, I am begging you to re-evaluate HOW safe you are in the current climate.
It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.
There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.
But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.
FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.
I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.
If you're thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It's time to grow up. It's time to move on.
Don't even hate watch it. Make it fail.
It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.
