I'm not, what you call, a Funny Person, let alone a carrier of memes, but I needed another reason to bully this man.

the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex favorable but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why

PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle

i know that a lot of people already know this, and that this may come across as condescending to those who do, but it has become increasingly clear to me that many people, particularly younger people, don't understand this but—

purity culture is more then just thinking sex is bad and evil and gross

purity culture is the belief that you can be corrupted, that there is an level of purity that can be tarnished by thinking or doing something deemed sinful or icky and that once you lose that purity, you are lesser then those who have not been "tainted". it's the belief that seeing, thinking, or doing something inherently nonharmful to others will fundamental change you in a negative way

purity culture is watching gory horror movies and being told that you are disgusting for finding it interesting to watch

purity culture is being told that violence in books, movies, games, etcetera will make you violent

purity culture is being told that wanting to hurt someone makes you bad, darkens your heart, whatever, even if they hurt you first, even if you have no plans to ever act on that desire

purity culture is being told to forgive your abuser, rapist, or even just people who have slighted and hurt you or else you will never fully heal, or that it makes you in someway bad too, or even just as bad as them

purity culture is being told that hating someone is equally to killing them, or wanting to kill them

purity culture is when people have intrusive thoughts that scare and harm them that make you uncomfortable, possibly even triggered, and telling them that they secretly want to do, have, etcetera, those things or else they wouldn't be thinking about it

purity culture is being told not to curse because it makes your mouth filthy, makes your heart filthy, makes you mean and bad and unpleasant

purity culture is being told that jealousy, anger, rage, disgust, and other stigmatized emotions are "bad" or "unhealthy" emotions

purity culture is refusing to let youths or even teenagers read or watch potential upsetting books, shows, movies, games, comics, etcetera out of fear they will act them out, become violent, possessed, unruly, etcetera

purity culture is being told that writing, drawing, or just in general making something dark and uncomfortable makes you gross and evil

purity culture is telling you that you have to portray bad things as bad or else people won't under that it's still bad, that it will normalize this bad thing, that people can be corrupted by it because they can't think for themselves whether this bad thing you portrayed as good is not actually good

purity culture is thinking bad things done for good reasons is just as bad as bad things done for bad reasons, like a mother stealing baby formula to keep her child alive versus someone stealing your pet because they wanted it are equally wrong

purity culture is being told that drinking, smoking, being addicted to drugs, unemployed, homeless, makes you lesser and filthy and corrupts you

purity culture is believing that someone wanting to do something bad, but choosing not to do it because they know it's bad, still makes them bad because they still want to do it

purity culture is thinking people getting tattoos, dying their hair, piercing, wearing make up, getting cosmetic surgeries secretly hate themselves and are disrespecting themselves

purity culture is so much more then just sex. it expands so much further then just christian/religious people and communities

purity culture is doing something bad, and when you try to seek atonement or correct the mistake, that it is unforgivable and will alway be a blight on you, even if others can "learn to look past it"

if you think that someone thinking or do something that does not cause any inherent harm makes them lesser, makes them bad, makes them gross, corrupts them or can lead them to corrupting others, you are pushing purity culture

this is coming from a women raised in an extremely sex negative christian household who spent years hating herself and her body due to sex based purity culture being pushed onto her from the age of six due to early puberty by the way, so don't try to gate keep purity culture on this post as only a religious and or sexual thing

Do you check for trackers and remove them before sharing links?

I love how here on tumblr dot website we regularly cast the greatest curse we can muster on each other by pointing our long creepy fingers and intoning "10,000 notes" in a voice that carries the winds of the mountain with it.

25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name “Tank Man”. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.

Something so profoundly fucked up between the inverse ratio of shrinking middle class and ever increasing aggression of advertisement

You! Fanfiction writer!

I hear you wanna remove a canon female love interest from a M/F ship for the purpose of your fanfiction, eh?

Well before you turn her into a raging bitch for absolutely no reason, WHY NOT:

“He just wasn’t into her like that but they’re still friends”

“They tried dating and decided it wasn’t what they wanted”

“She didn’t actually know him that well and after some time she realized she wasn’t actually that interested”

“He had a habit that was a total deal-breaker, no hard feelings though”

“One of them got a really good job offer somewhere else that they couldn’t turn down and have since moved on”

“Turns out she’s gay”

“Turns out HE’s gay”

“One of them wanted kids and one didn’t”

“They had different long-term goals”

“They tried dating and realized they saw each other more as family and it was super weird and uncomfortable, like kissing your sister”

“Neither one of them was in it for the long haul, it was more of a friends-with-benefits deal”

“Dating one another was what made them realize they’re BOTH gay”

“They weren’t compatible in bed”

“One of them was more career-driven than the other”

“By the time one of them confessed the other had already started a relationship with someone else and they’re doing really well”

“One of them has a beloved pet that the other is deathly allergic to so the distance kinda broke things down”

“They wound up working for the same company with a zero fraternization policy”

“One of them is the other’s boss so dating would be unethical”

“One of them is focusing on themselves right now”

“He’s actually kind of a loser”

“They couldn’t communicate their needs”

“He wasn’t actually all that attractive after all”

“You misunderstand, they are each other’s wingman”

”You misunderstand, they are each other’s beard”

“You misunderstand, they faked the relationship so they could marry for citizenship/tax purposes/political reasons”

”They ARE together but they’re both into the third party”

”They ARE together but they’re cool with each other seeing other people”

”They’ve been faking the relationship to evade an excess rental expense on their shared apartment”

”They’re not in a romantic/sexual relationship, they just got that queerplatonic swag”

“Their parents got married and the step-siblings thing gave them the ick”

“You thought they were flirting? Dude that was ironic. What, you don’t flirt with your friends?”

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

  I re-blogged this (the first time) in 2014. Today, I tried half a dozen times to re-blog it, and it wouldn’t work. So, I saved the images and re-posted it. I hope it helps make life a little easier. :-)   The original post is by iraffiruse.
