“DON’T write this character like-“

“Stop drawing them with-!”

“I’m so sick of fandom sleeping on-“

My friend, do it yourself then.

theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents

im joining the war on gross disgusting pornographic content on the side of gross disgusting pornographic content

Everytime one of these "protect women and girls" orgs go viral for doing something evil I like to take a look through their "wins" and see if they've ever helped protect even one single living woman or girl.

Collective Shout has:

Gotten a hotel to cancel a legal-aged porn star's reservation

Gotten a venue to cancel a Playboy Bunny themed party - again, attended by only adults

Pressured the Breast Cancer Foundation to pull ads that they found too sexy

got ads for a sex doll company removed because they felt the dolls resembled children

Got a beer coozy that had pinups of adult women printed on them discontinued.

Got an H&M ad pulled for back to school clothes for saying "Turn Heads"

Got Tyler the Creator banned from performing in New Zealand

I'm still scrolling and I have yet to see a single instance of a real, living woman or girl being protected by any one of their actions. They have on multiple occasions punished real, adult women for the audacity to be naked in some capacity they find distasteful.

Adding to this that they have lobbied to get a real pedophile released AND supported Cuties, which objectified and exploited real living children.

My main point is not that you have to love any of the things above, you can even hate them and wish they didn't exist. but they were able to dismantle the entire games industry and set a dark precedent regarding banks deciding who is morally good enough to spend money - and they aren't even helping any real women or girls in the process.

it’s necessary to fight back against adult content bans obviously because it leads to queer bans, but also, you cannot forget that we must fight back against these bans because adults have the right to make and enjoy adult content. no credit card company has the right to censor what we look at. yes, this includes the “problematic kinks” and stuff you think is gross and bad. just as we deserve to be openly queer online, we deserve to enjoy adult content without fear of total censorship, and it’s absurd how few places there are to do that online nowadays

anyone else think its dope how applying to jobs is intentionally designed as like a humilation ritual where you degrade yourself like a slimy worm both physically and mentally for crumbs

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

you know, maybe the internet shouldn’t be controlled by payment processors and terf lobbyists. and maybe people should be more concerned about this rise of censorship on queer media.

God I love doing unhinged literary analysis of stuff. Like why are people so annoyed at it and keep saying "the curtains are just blue", like dude, making up insane shit about why the curtains are blue is the most fun shit ever

Like sure whatever I could read a story and be like "well that was neat" and call it a day, but it's so much more fun to obsessively analyze every last detail in a story

How else am I supposed to send my friends the most absolutely bat shit messages like "is this cute anime girl a metaphor for the atom bomb?"

You folks are missing out on the good shit

It's always disappointing when a series makes a big deal about societal and structural problems in it's setting, making readers think it has interesting things to say about the subject, only to then resolve the problems by fighting The CEO of Racism, John Racist, so that all of society's problems would then get better because they promoted a new CEO.
