the thing they dont tell you is nobody tells you how to be a trans girl. you have to thrash around in the dark until you find something that feels right. then you have to keep going in the dark until you catch another girl’s hand she shows you what she knows and you show her what you know you figure out trans femininity together

the framing of generative ai as "theft" in popular discourse has really set us back so far like not only should we not consider copyright infringement theft we shouldn't even consider generative ai copyright infringement

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

Of course, it borders on stating the obvious to point out that all the people in the notes of that one txttletale post going "actually no, conservatives ARE incapable of making good art because good art requires empathy/compassion/kindness/understanding other people's perspectives/[insert vaguely good-sounding virtue that conservatives supposedly lack here]" are just mentally doing the whole "every media i like is secretly leftist" thing.

But digging down further and on a less obvious note, I think the reason WHY so many liberals and vibes-based leftists are constantly doing the "every media I like is secretly leftist" thing is because they don't actually fundamentally disagree that much with the basic assumptions about the world that support conservative ideologies, they just dislike when they manifest in the form of explicit bigotry.

So when those assumptions are baked into a piece of art (especially a piece of art that is *good*) in the form of undertones instead of explicit bigotry they just come off as The Way The World Is and completely fail to register as conservative to them.

being pro-copyright is like a cartoon "i hate cool things" political stance

it’s fun that Mormonism is based off pseudo-archeology and Scientology is based off pseudo-psychiatry. By that logic the big American New Religious Movement of the 21st century is gonna be based on… pseudo-computer science?

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

i don’t know what exactly causes the ambient field of sexlessness on this website, i don’t know if it’s a fear of your sincerity being mocked that makes people boil the passion out of stuff to reduce it down to mass palatability or something else but you have to push against it. if you see someone post about how asking for consent can actually be super hot and sexy and cool you have to hit them with a sledgehammer. if you see someone talk about how cnc isn’t about rape or force or denying lack of consent it’s about loving people who reject love you have to hit them with a sledgehammer. if you see someone talk about how petplay isn’t really about fucking your dog it’s really about showing someone that they can be deficient and still adored you have to hit them with a sledgehammer. if you see someone talk about how bondage isn’t actually about giving up your agency to be at someone’s mercy and is really about being accepted and taken for who you are regardless of what you are you have to hit them with a sl
