This would be the tumblr of a Pakistani-American 20-something dude living in Houston, Texas. Things to expect: A veritable smorgasbord of fandoms, posts that are amusing, cute, awesome, or any combination of the above, and some social justice. They/them agender

Been worried because a bit ago I walked past a group of kids and one little fella yelled at another one “I just stabbed you with the most deadliest poison in the world”. I don’t even think he should have that. I don’t want him to have that near me

Jesse, you’re forgetting that Dragons are not just beasts, they are inherently magical and they are of the element they embody, Jesse. An ancient white dragon would create an icy tundra wherever it built its lair merely by existing in that place over time. It is the surrounding animals that have adapted to the cold to even exist in the landscape of a dragon, Jesse.

Also dragons have teeth, Jesse. I don't think ice resistance is gonna be that big of an issue. The prey isn't teeth resistant, Jesse.

only just remembered the conversation I had with the person who said they couldn’t read anything written by a lesbian because they were a bisexual and it would be seen as infiltrating a space that wasn’t intended for them and wasting resources that weren’t theirs to use and they were terrified of getting in Trouble.

Reading the tags I'm seeing a lot of comments like "wow moral scrupulosity" "moral OCD the likes you cannot even fathom" "if you think like this you are mentally ill and need help" "oh BROTHER"

and it's mindblowing to me because if you have been in "lesbian spaces" for the last 6-10 years this is not an irrational conclusion to draw at all.

This is a dampened and tame version of what trans and bisexual exclusionary lesbians have been screaming from the rooftops. If your experience as a young bisexual wlw is mostly internet-based, this is not just an opinion that is present in queer spaces but an opinion that has been dominant (and largely completely unchallenged) in queer spaces for a long time at this point.

A bisexual wlw coming away with the impression that their existence is inherently intruding on Lesbianism and they must bow down and submit to the Pure and Good Capital-L Lesbians isn't online cringe or mental illness, it's the logical endpoint of allowing TERFS to be the loudest lesbian voices for over an entire decade.

Before you roll your eyes at the "cringe" moral scrupulosity, try being angry at the people who demand that level of moral scrupulosity out of anyone who is different from themself and think about why you continually accommodate that demand with your nonchalance instead of meaningfully opposing it at its source

it’s funny you mention that because in the original conversation, the person I was speaking with was the recipient of targeted bullying, not some delusional snowflake who needs to go outside and “touch grass.”

it was in 2018-19 and the culture on here was one of scarcity and fear and enforced purity standards, just as it still is. The bullying was virulent and it was everywhere and it cleaved exactly to white woman protectionist narratives that decreed any blurring of the lines as anathema. a bisexual who stepped out of her intended place would bring death and violation to the lesbians around her and needed to be stopped.

why be radically exclusionary abt queerness when you could be radically inclusionary instead. let's inflate the numbers. let's become the majority. the sky's the limit
