In my observations:

Very few TERFs are actually male separatists. Almost all the ones in the public eye are absolutely not. You occassionally find some of the tiny percentage who talk up separatism right here on tumblr, but that's because tumblr is a place where people constantly drop extreme, supposedly radical, and mostly bullshit ideas.

2. That means you will notice that while TERFs talk a lot about how abusive men are the reason why they have to persecute trans women, they actually do not hate most of the men in their lives. They usually live their life just as surrounded by men as the average cis woman, and do not wish otherwise.

3. TERFs see trans women as men, but they also place them in a certain category- they are both cis men but also not at all like cis men. They would vastly prefer the company of a cis man. Especially one who they suspect would never, ever remind them of the trans women they hate. This is why you see them becoming suspicious of the slightest sign of gender nonconformity in the men around them. I literally saw a woman on mumsnet stressing because her husband wore nail polish. People were telling her to be careful in case he transitions. (How odd because at one point they were going on about how 'oh dress however you want just don't try and call yourself a woman/man!')

4. This is my clumsy attempt to explain why while blanket hatred of men on principle is obviously not unrelated to transmisogyny, in practice it's in my opinion pretty misguided to assume that cis men as a category are the focus of TERFs.

When TikTok and scrolling becomes to over stimulating so you go back to children’s cartoons for the late 90s where they are all in plain natural colors and very little is actually happening.

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:

1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.

2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.

3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.

4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.

5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.

What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

"Haha everything in Australia is trying to kill you" NOPE WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. You will romanticise our flora and fauna or you will shut up. You will marvel in the beauty of our red desert sand, you will delight in the smell of our eucalyptus trees, you will laugh with frivolity at the dances of our frill necked lizards and hear the musicality of the calls of our kookaburras and our magpies. You will unlearn the colonial narrative that this land is savage and deadly, and you will see it for the majesty it is.

Edit: I am fully aware it is spelt “sewing” and that “sowing” is related to crops and the grim reaper. I’m bad at homophones and you can’t edit polls.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
