Can a minor be a MAP? No need to answer if you feel umcomfy with the question!

MAP = "minor attracted person"

Any minor SHOULD be attracted to other minors. But the term MAP doesn't need to be applied to them, and shouldn't be, because the default assumption should be that minors are attracted to other minors.

Also if minors were to call themselves MAPs, I imagine it would make it more difficult to quickly identify actual MAPs, who are adults, and that would be a problem.

History Inclusionist

An "Inclusionist" who believes that identities which are 1) shown to be supported in the community's history 2) are harmless personal identities that don't pose harm to others are valid and should be included in their communities.

Overall:

"History Inclusionism" refers to being inclusive of personal identities based on the identity being:

A self affirmed personal identity (locatable only within a person's interaction with and relations to the world around you)

Historically shown to be included in an identity subculture (Such as in a notable number of personal accounts, poems, zines, books, or other media from a subculture)

Shown to be non harmful to other identities or persons (Such as in more than one professional study)

Examples: - Different studies over human history have concluded that being raised by gay parents doesn't cause inherent harm to children. Therefore, gay relationships are provably shown to be non harmful. They are included here. - Different self-reports, comics, zines, and other writings from the past 60 years mention male lesbians, bi lesbians, and lesbians in relationships with men. Therefore, it is historically shown to be included in lesbian culture, and is included here. - Studies, reports, and other examinations by professionals over the course of human history have come to the conclusion that minors in relationships with adults cannot properly consent and are harmed by those "relationships." Therefore, personal identities that try to justify these "relationships" are not included here.

"Personal Identity"?

"Personal Identity" is a purposefully broad term meant to apply to most self-affirmed forms of identification (plurality status, orientation, gender, etc).

Being a History Inclusionist means that you are in complete support of the following personal identities:

Plurality which does not attribute its origins to trauma

Lesbians who are also male / Gay men who are also female

Lesbians who are also mspec (bi, pan, poly, etc) / Gay men who are also mspec

Transgender / nonbinary people who don't experience dysphoria or only feel euphoria

Nonbinary genders, including xenogenders / nonbinary genders that are "atypical" (based on fictional characters, highly specific, based on animals, etc)

"Atypical" relationship formats such as polyamorous relationships, relationship anarchy, kink-focused relationships, etc (Or generally any other form of relationship between two or more consenting people that would not fall under anything on the list below this)

Gender presentations which conflict with and/or defy the expected norm (Women who use he/him pronouns, men who present feminine, etc)

Being a History Inclusionist means that you absolutely do not tolerate or support the following:

Acting on or encouraging attraction to children as an adult (Ped*philia)

Acting on, encouraging attraction to, or associating positive feelings with the attraction to one's family members (Inc*st)

Acting on or encouraging attraction to, or associating positive feelings with the attraction to animals (Z*ophilia)

TransID/TransX communities, the idea that someone can transition into or identify as an age, disorder, or condition they physically are not or do not have (transrace/diarace/trace, transabled/transdisorder/'transplural'/transautistic, and so on)

Arguing with other members of the LGBT community over who is allowed to use derogatory words (Q-eer, f-ggot, d-ke, and so on)

I’m playing TotK again because I don’t have TP available to me yet but can we talk about how the “Great Central Mine” is this close to the Gerudo border and how it is the only mine under central Hyrule, while there are two additional mines under Gerudo valley, both underneath the desert’s only natural water sources 🫠

Hey hey hey

I really really didn't want to make a post on this but I've been seeing a LOT of anti marauders fandom stuff recently, and not even tagged with anti marauders, so this is your daily reminder to just.... not interact... with media you don't like..

Like it's literally not that hard

Filter your tags

Literally just ignore fandom stuff you don't like??? It's literally not that hard?? There's no need to hate on people, no need to be an ass, just literally scroll past it. It's not hard. Just let people like what they like, enough of the character bashing and ship bashing

For example, one ship I don't like is bartylilly. I don't think its feasible and I'm a firm rosekiller Stan. However if you go through my blog, do you want to know a secret? I don't talk about it. I don't bash it. I just ignore it. It's that easy. I know this is shocking information for some of you but take a deep breath, you'll be ok

Let people like who they like and let people do what they want a ship what they want (with like pedophilia exceptions ofcourse) and just move on with your life. Tumblr is The Safe Space and that's why I joined this app, but recently it's been feeling more and more hostile.

If you've made it this far, reblog. Make sure people see this. Or make your own post if you don't want to reblog.

I genuinely hate the talking point about americans being bad at geography, because the only stance that anybody can seem to take on it is that you'd only be bad at labeling a map if you're lazy and ignorant

I've never passed a single test labeling American States from elementary school to high school. I kept my schedule with me throughout the entire year because if I didn't look at it every day I'd forget which classrooms I had to go to and when, and sometimes I'd still get it wrong. I have my own home address written down on a piece of paper because I won't remember where I live otherwise.

genuinely there are just people who have a difficult time with rote memorization. some people just have horse piss memory in general.

at some point the talking point shifted from making fun of racists who can't even find the people they're bigoted against on a map to just baseline insisting that being bad at geography is a moral issue in and of itself.

LMAO apparently blocking a person who has the MAP flag on one of their ponies is censorship

BE SO FR LIKE THATS NOT HOW CENSORSHIP WORKS

[chiimeramanticore]

i know im swinging a bat at a hornet's nest here but as someone who's spectated the proship/anti debate for years (and at one point as a teen was a pretty staunch anti) i've slid closer to the proship way of thinking, but there's still no way in hell you could ever convince me to call myself one because almost every proshipper ive encountered has been a total asshole about it

like i get the idea of "i think censorship is wrong and i dont think people should be harassed over fandom things, even if I also dislike/disagree with that person" and i agree w all that. but that's never the kind of post i actually see from proshippers, im always seeing them post shit like they're debate bros who care more about pissing off the antis than anything else.

like i saw a post a couple of weeks ago that was like "'you're romanticizing my abuse' i'm actually sexualizing it but okay <3" and it just shows me they aren't willing to tread lightly when talking about actual abuse. it's fine if you wanna ship dark shit but if you can't talk about it without acting like a total child and you can't be normal about people discussing their actual trauma then you're just a shitty person im sorry!!

I am literally BEGGING some people to look up the actual definition of proship so that they stop embarrassing themselves

Okay, hold up. I haven't been paying super close attention to the discourse and all but...

Could someone please explain to me in terms a moderately old lifelong player of video games can understand why exactly it is that everyone is regarding Grand Theft Auto 6 as either the salvation or doom of the video game industry?

Like, I just cannonballed through 4 articles about GTA6 and none of them seem to agree on anything other than that it's 'highly anticipated' release is some sort of event horizon from which there will be no return. This makes NO goddamn sense to me because the last time I heard people talk about a game this way was... (Checks notes)... Cyberpunk 2077.

So forgive me if I'm coming off as a tad skeptical.

Still, I like to keep an open mind. So, by all means, enlighten me.

[bopperclowning]

lgbt discourse is literally the dumbest thing ever. you bitches r arguing over the definitions of bi and pan n preaching to ur followers that xenogenders and neopronouns are invalid. while trans rights are being ripped away from us day by day. the ENTIRE POINT of the lgbt community is to be a COMMUNITY. AWAY FROM THE HARRASMENT AND DISRESPECT FROM CISHETS. if u hate one specific part of the lgbt then u hate all of us i stg

[sotiredmostnights]

would you forgive me if i played FE3H again

We should do testing on maps, lolishos and pro c ppl. What are they gonna say? No?

I've actually completely run out of patience for Americans making up excuses as to why they don't know the countries of Africa. Stop blaming "the American education system", or even the Republicans actively underfunding it, because even if, in your eighteen years of schooling, the only thing you learned from the American education system was the TWENTY SIX LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET, you still have the capacity to look at a globe, or a map, or the maps app on your phone and immediately be able to recognise the location of every country on the planet AND their capital cities AND the major natural landmarks such as rivers or mountains ALL BY YOURSELF. If you can't even bring yourself to read some labels on a drawing, then you just do not have enough personal responsibility to contribute anything to society.
