If u follow this blog for pure reasons I'm so sorry but I'm going to be complaining abt drama that irritated me. I'll be tagging it 'discourse' n 'female oc discourse'

It's mostly to vent & if it gets out of hand I'll just block ppl n stop xoxo

[godknowsitriedthencried]

This blog is full of opinions, many shitty/questionable, stop invalidating this 1 person who wants to vent. I just stumbled across this blog & idk why ppl are being so aggressive. If you hate the idea of making female characters it probably comes from sexist ideas. Maybe it does it relate to dysphoria or something, but for your immediate response to be to shut them down is so disrespectful. It just reminds me of if I, as a bi woman, was like "ugh straight ppl" & then all the replies were "IM NOT HOMOPHOBIC BUT THIS HURT MY FEELINGS"

NOT saying people are sexist for only having male characters. I’m trying to point out that the dislike of female characters, or the inability to relate to them can come from sexist opinions/feelings. And I’m saying this as a transguy! I’ve seen it all my life. People complaining about female characters, acting like they’re less interesting, or somehow difficult to relate to?

Okay but people don’t have to accommodate your feelings in their own collection of characters. If they don’t like female characters for a shitty reason, I would just block and move on, you won’t change their mind.

Imagine hating the idea of making a female character so much you literally compare it to bestality i-

This "not having female characters makes you x" sentiment reminds me when some stranger came into my dms and asked me (a YOUNG minor) if I was into beastiality because I had a lot animal ocs. It's just that same level of projecting grossness onto people for no valid reason. There are plenty of reasons other than "sexism!1!" a person might not have them — ranging from dysphoria to sheer preference of design (look me at me and tell me the TH-market ISN'T mostly dominated by cute/chibi girls)

“Jews control the media”

Do you know where this old as fuck conspiracy theory comes from?

Jews were not allowed to get most jobs. Most places wouldn’t even hire Jews, regardless of if they could. However, at this time, Hollywood was young. And very liberal. And was seen as a joke by factory working America, used to make cheap comedies for rich people. And Jews found their spot in early cinema.

And cinema turned out to not be a joke. It got big. And Hollywood became the rich group. But people continued to ignore the Jewishness of the actors. And the writers. And the directors. People ignored the Jewish roots of stories. So Jews had to not be open about it, or the media went down their throat, or completely ignored them.

This trope is literally as old as Hollywood. Fuck yall.

It’s evolved the same way the “Jews control the money” conspiracy theory did. Goyim forced us out of the economical and social model until we had a group of our own, and then when that got big you goyim scapegoated us, claimed we owned everything and are taking over. You know what the old version of this was?

Towns, which became major cities and broke the European feudal system.

Jews don’t control everything, but goyim are fine with taking what we made and making it theirs, then blaming us for being in it.

“What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; one day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sound of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hallow mockery; your prayers and hyms [sic], your sermons and thanks-givings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy – a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.”

— Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), from a speech given at Rochester, New York, July 5, 1852.
