made the mistake of going on tiktok 2day

unfriendly reminder that "all men r trash" rhetoric helps literally no1 and saying that "men who r not trash don't give a shit when u say men r trash" is such a fucking cisgender take

acting like men r all trash, which lets b real when most ppl say that what they r saying is that they think all men r predators, only gives men who r predatory an excuse while putting men who r not predatory in danger and even more so putting all trans ppl in general in danger but especially any trans ppl who r seen as being men in some way

it gives predatory men an excuse bc they can say its not their fault bc "thats just how men r"

it puts men who r not predatory in danger bc of all of their actions being perceived as having a predatory motivation, this makes it harder 4 men 2 not b on guard all the time, single fathers or male teachers r often perceived as being pedos simply 4 being a man in the proximity of a child, there r multiple videos of men just simply complimenting a woman on her outfit and the woman assumes that the man is trying 2 flirt w her, 4 most men this makes conversations w women a bit of a minefield bc of constantly having 2 b on guard abt how their actions will b perceived and all the responsibility on making the conversation feel like a safe 1 is placed on the man, however when it comes 2 already heavily policed communities this can and does lead 2 real danger, the idea that men r all predatory actively contributes 2 the deaths of men of colour bc of our existence being perceived as an inherent threat

it puts trans women in danger bc of ppl pretending that trans women r just predatory men in dresses

it puts amab nonbinary ppl and masc presenting nonbinary ppl in danger 4 similar reasons it puts trans women in danger

it puts trans men in danger bc we're perceived then as transitioning in order 2 b predatory

it puts queer men in general in danger bc of us being perceived as preying on children

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively kills queer men

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively kills black men and other men of colour

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively kills trans men

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively kills trans women

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively kills nonbinary people

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively excuses the violent actions that the men who r violent engage in

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively buries the violent actions that the women who r violent engage in

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively kills men who r being abused by women

"all men r trash" rhetoric actively teaches young boys that they r less than and expected 2 act as such

its literally just terf rhetoric and if u make "all men r trash" statements or ""jokes"" unironically u r engaging in terf rhetoric and its unreasonable 2 expect men 2 not b upset by it when u r engaging in rhetoric that is causing us 2 hav trauma around what it means 2 b a man in society and how that puts us at risk bc of us being seen as inherently more predatory simply 4 our identity as men

"let's do x with mama" / "mamaposting" has basically become a meme on my dash at this point & weird thing to say but it's making it easier to deal with the fact that my mama's in hospital right now & i can't see her, let's cope with mama :')

[keebiecoo]

also, AFAB does NOT mean raised as a girl & AMAB does NOT mean raised as a boy

I made this comic bc I’ve been seeing way too many people say bad stuff about amab/afab trans people lately and I hope this helps some of you who didn’t understand understand so we can get back to trying to help eachother and not tear eachother down.

Intersex folks feel free to add onto this however you see fit you all are wonderful people and I love you!

if i wanted to make it clear i didn't agree with a screenshot on tumblr i'd have to put a big fuck off I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS SCREENSHOT banner, this is the piss on the poor website

y'all people on reddit are saying tumblr puts the water filter on screenshots to "make it clear i don't agree with this post"

meanwhile i thought the filter was to make it clear that it's indeed a screenshot and not a post because an unedited screenshot blends in too much

have i been wrong this whole time? lmfao

yay yippee, congrats to Smurfette on transitioning & also turning Smurf Village back into Yaoi Plannet

doing silly redesigning bc that's just what i do with shows i love <3

[keebiecoo]

i love this whole post, also in my HC gangle & jax's dynamic is "white woman tears vs the black guy with ASPD who doesn't feel sorry for her bc why would he" & i think this 1. bc of psychoanalysing the characters & rewatching the show & 2. bc it's a mood

ok so i hav THOUGHTS and FEELINGS abt ep 4 of tadc that r honestly kinda difficult 2 put into words? but im gonna try

so i actually genuinely liked this episode even tho it was kinda difficult 2 watch (in a good way!!) but then after watching it i immediately went into the tags 4 tadc and specifically tadc ep 4 2 c what every1 else was saying abt it and tbh i think that was a mistake? like now tbh the problems i hav w the fandom r kinda almost overshadowing the actual content of the episode 4 me which is rly sad bc the episode was a rly good 1

okay so i may as well get this out of the way and accept that im probably gonna get hate 4 it but i gotta say smth that ik basically no1 else is gonna agree w me on,,,

GANGLE WAS NOT THE VICTIM OF EPISODE 4!

and i don't just mean that in the "she wasn't a victim of jax's antics this episode" way i mean like,,, i keep seeing ppl still doing the "oh no poor baby" thing w gangle even w this episode and like? it's tiring!? tbh i honestly thought this episode was the 1 that would get ppl 2 c in gangle what i was seeing in gangle the whole time tbh which is that gangle is the embodiment of weaponised "im just a girl" white woman tears

also 2 get this out of the way since ik the fandom is kinda split on this 1 yes i hc gangle as white, i feel like her character would b different if she was asian both in how she interacts w anime and in her design

so okay 2 explain that, if gangle was japanese i don't think her design would include the european comedy and tragedy masks so heavily and it would be more likely that her design would instead be modelled after japanese kabuki masks since she wouldn't hav the same connection 2 the european comedy and tragedy masks as a european person would and we see that cultural signifiers do in fact change in the character designs with pomni who i think likely is supposed to be asian, her jester costume is more similar to asian styles of clothing than european and her hair is in a style that's very popular with asian working women, now because im not asian and i don't know a lot about cultural signifiers in asian culture aside from what i've heard i could be wrong about some things here and if there are any asian people who would like to correct me please feel free to, just to be clear bc i keep having this problem across my blogs WHEN I SAY IF U R IN A MINORITY GROUP IM TALKING ABT U CAN CORRECT ME THIS DOES NOT EXTEND 2 PPL OUTSIDE OF THAT MINORITY GROUP WHO WANNA START BEEF W ME OVER NOTHING!

so okay in my head gangle is a white girl, this is relevant 2 how she weaponises toxic positivity and then weaponises her crying, white women hav been doing this 4ever and it's how i was able 2 c her being like this from a mile away, i knew she was gonna b like this the whole time but it feels like every1 else in the fandom keeps falling 4 it idk, like at least 4 me this episode rly highlighted how gangle and jax r narrative foils of each other

jax is abrasive and rude and wants ppl 2 think he's just an asshole bc he doesn't know how 2 connect w ppl on a deeper lvl but realistically all he would do if he had a bit of power over some1 would b 2 mess w them a bit bc of him being chronically bored

gangle if she had even a tiny bit of power over some1 would literally b micromanaging them and incredibly controlling and abusive but wants every1 2 think she's harmless

jax when he bullies the others it's clear that it's him lashing out bc of a lack of control in his life so he acts as a bully 2 try 2 feel like he has a dagree of control over his environment

gangle when she starts treating the others badly it's when she's finally in a position of power

gangle is literally being an abusive manager this episode but every1 is more focused on the fact that jax was a bully in the previous episodes 2 notice! hell even some ppl r glorifying gangle's actions! like wtf!?

like okay, early in the episode jax throws ragatha into the deep fryer, that's bad we all know it is, w that being said we also know that physical damage in this world is not permanent and that ragatha will b fine even tho she's having a bad time of it, jax is very clearly doing this as a way of lashing out bc he doesn't like that the adventure they r doing 2day is working at a fast food place

gangle,, seemingly doesn't care abt what's happening 2 ragatha? and is more focused on punishing jax's behaviour, telling him off and then having a conversation w caine who is "upper management" 4 the adventure abt how she wants a punishment 2 b awaiting jax 4 his behaviour at the end of the day, she then also delights in holding this power over jax the entire episode, it's worth pointing out i think that gangle never bothers 2 get ragatha out of the deep fryer and is even shown walking away from ragatha still in the deep fryer showing that she really doesn't actually care about the fact that ragatha is being hurt

later gangle consistently keeps piling work onto jax throughout the episode and seems to delight in holding this power over him, jax gets more and more tired and depressed throughout the episode and eventually stands up for himself but in a way that is less violent than usual, gangle tries to get him to do a job that isn't in his job description, jax then points out that that should be handled by the people who's job it is to do that, gangle then asks jax "doesn't he want to be a team player?" and other office buzzwords that managers often use 2 coerce employees into doing work that isn't in their job description, jax then says no and that he doesn't care abt any of this which is a very normal attitude 4 a fast food employee 2 hav and that's when (if i remember correctly) gangle sends him 2 the brainwashing room also this bitch has a brainwashing room where she tries 2 brainwash jax but no1 cares bc every1 is still defending her 4 some reason!?

another thing that i think is relevant is that i hc jax as having ASPD bc i hav ASPD myself and i relate 2 jax a lot bc of this and hav noticed ways in which jax's behaviour is very similar at times 2 how my ASPD symptoms show up, there r some differences obviously since jax is living in a video game simulation where physically harming ppl leaves no permanent effect and i don't live in that situation but the cycle of messing w ppl around u 4 entertainment, lashing out when things don't go ur way and then not being able 2 connect w those around u thus making u less able 2 control these behaviours in the future and making u lash out more is very real, the chronic boredom is there, the irritability is there, jax using messing w ppl as a primary source of entertainment and also a primary way of trying 2 connect w those around him is there

this is relevant because this would mean that jax is being punished by gangle for showing symptoms of ASPD, smth that he can't control not just that but while gangle is the main villain every1 is kinda a dick 2 jax in this episode, pomni assumes that jax must hav an ulterior motive when he asks how she's doing, zooble basically tells jax that his actions r making it more likely 4 caine 2 kill them all (which i don't think caine would do but zooble seems 2 think he would) and ragatha says that she hates jax but doesn't want jax 2 hate her and basically confesses that being the actual reason why she pretends 2 b nice 2 him, (also yes i say pretends and not tries since she gets mad at jax earlier in the episode 4 smth that jax points out "was actually a mistake that time") and the thing is? jax isn't even surprised, he knows that ragatha hates him already he just also knows she wouldn't say that if she was sober

also side note i rly need ppl 2 stop saying that gangle's brain washing was successful and that's the only reason jax was more friendly/agreeable/less of a bully this episode like no, it's bc he's depressed af this episode also pls stop saying that gangle brainwashing jax would b a good thing if it made him act differently that's legit such an ableist thing 2 say omg

anyway i think im gonna leave this here 4 now bc i woke up not long ago and this post is getting long so idk lemme know if any of this is coherent ig? lol fr tho i hate gangle and i don't understand y u guys like her and hate jax so much

edit: seems like i may not hav made it super clear but i hc jax as being a black queer man as a black queer man myself, i didn't make that very clear initially bc i legit 4get that not every1 sees him that way, idk man 4 me as a black queer guy the coding was there and gangle picking on him in the workplace i think was definitely partly motivated by her doing that white woman thing of seeing a man who doesn't hav as much power as her in society and then leaping at the opportunity 2 abuse that power in the work environment as a perceived "revenge" thing

i am really saddened that i have seen so many posts lately of people being shitty about trans identities they see as "contradictory" or "too weird". people saying that people who identify as afab & trans women or amab & trans men or both or who feel like "agab" doesn't describe their past propperly or don't want to use "agab" terms for themselves are being offensive in some way.

idk, it is just so sad & gross whenever people find an identity that doesn't immediently make sense to them they attack it, especially when it's other queer people doing the attacking.

i just have to take solace in knowing that i love trans people with weird or "contradictory" or hard to describe identities so so much & i love my own weird, "contradictory" identity so so much & hope i can have my identity respected or even apprecited someday...

end of season 2 Stolitz is simultaneously cute & a fucking horror show, imagine getting out of an abusive arranged marriage of over 17 years only to immediently become fully homeless & the only thing keeping you from rough sleeping is the possibly temporary kindness of your very unstable ex boyfriend who has a terrible understanding of boundaries & the only income you get is from working at his company with him as your boss

[keebiecoo]

hey, been a while. anyway, here's garfield and hatsune miku being besties (:

[keebiecoo]

If you hate trans men, I hope every woman you look up to in your life transitions into the happiest, hairiest, fattest trans men ever.

[keebiecoo]

the world is not doomed, i won't let it be, i am a happy boy, & i make sure there will be happy boys in this world forever :)

[keebiecoo]

people/society need to be more kind & gentle to guys, especially marginalized guys

men & boys are not more dangerous, or strong, or durable, or horny, or ugly, or mean, men & boys shouldn't have to act masc to be seen as men, men & boys shouldn't have to seem more meek or less masc to be seen as less threatening

anyway, feel free to add anything guy-positive here, i love men

Reminder that “dysphoria” is not solely a transgender term and means “a profound state of unease and dissatisfaction”. It is not limited to gender dysphoria.

now say it with me: authors/artists dont owe you moral purity. an author/artist job is not to hold you by the hand & tell you exactly what is Good™ & what is Bad™. you should be able to think for yourself
