See I appreciate the sentiment when people say "no culture is a monolith" but the problem with saying that is that people take it to mean "You see this country actually has exactly Two types of people: the evil homophobic orcs that you believe all Orientals to be, and people who have the exact same politics and sensibilities as you, western liberal" and not that like there are, for example, gay and trans people in the global south who are sincerely patriotic, love their own culture and people, and want to fight to change their cultures for the better on their own terms without imitating the imperial core.

Sometimes I feel like I'm too old to still be unpacking my trauma and then I remember that

1. 30s isn't that old

2. If I don't do it now, I'll still be doing it at 50

3. My parents didn't even start processing their own trauma until 65+ so I'm winning here

Mastercard and visa have reported to a couple news outlets that they are currently being swamped with calls and complaints. Keep up the pressure and try to (politely) insist that you leave a complaint via phone instead of letting the rep direct you to emails. It's way easier to be overwhelmed by a much smaller number of calls so each one counts for a bit more!

The problem with long term isolation is you become insane and weird and unpalatable and unrelatable and it's seemingly impossible to ever forge meaningful connections with people ever again

The idea that sharing professionally produced porn is somehow INHERENTLY DIFFERENT from sharing any other kind of professionally produced media seems pretty transparently rooted in the idea that there's something INHERENTLY EXPLOITATIVE about videos of boobs.

Like support sex workers etc. Shoutout to anyone who's ever bought porn of me. But I don't think posting an excerpt from an old brazzers scene is any morally different from a superwholock gifset. One of them just centers women more.

There is a pervasive ideological construction that someone either deserves autonomy or support, but that these are mutually exclusive.

This artificial construction is extremely present when it comes to discourses about age and ability. People will discuss taking away choices or censoring information as "protecting" young and disabled people, and will discuss taking away material support as a necessary exchange for decision making (e.g. "if you live under my roof, you live under my rules"--a threat that asserting autonomy comes at the cost of homelessness). This dynamic is so foundational to the oppression of children that even when applied to adult groups we use words like paternalism and infantilization to communicate that a group of adults is being treated "like children."

Whenever you demand autonomy, people use this as justification to withdraw resources and care. Whenever you express your need for resources and care, people use this as justification to withdraw bodily autonomy. In reality, all people deserve bodily autonomy and care. And in reality, oppressed people are routinely denied both.

Apparently it's a SWERF group that's responsible for the takedowns on itch.
